for a united front with the Ma
tiOnal Furniture Workers Indus
trial Union local 2, the Mattress
Section, they will be expelled from
that local and lose their job i'm
mediately. Another leader who
spoke next was the Secretary Of
the International, who made a
threat still stronger.
Now is the question, how can the
rank and file in such organizations
voice their opinions. Though there
were many who were for the united
front they were terrorized so as to
not dare and vote for the united
front. So another attempt for a
united front in certain craft has
been Unanswered into nothing, by
the leaders of the International"
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1934-08-06

Leaders of the UpholSterS Inter
national have Unanswered to split
and break up the united front be-
tween the workers of the A. F. of L.
and the Furniture Workers Indus
trial Union.
The following statement, issued by
the Furniture Workers Industrial
Union, explains how the leaders
worked to smash the unity move:
The Mattress Department of the
National Furniture Workers Indus
trial Union, the New York Local 2,
realized the Importance of united
action in the coming struggles of
the mattress workers. We, there
fore, appealed to local l08 of the
Upholsterers International to unite
for such joint action. A committee
of our union appeared before the
membership of local 108 and, after
expressing our request for united
action, a committee was elected from
local 108 to jointly with us work out
plans for the coming strike. This
joint committee met few times.
We issued a joint leafiet to the
workers in the bedding industry and
we also called a joint meeting of
both unions, in order to organize our
forces in preparations for united ac-
ton in the coming strike.
with the exception of few in
dividualS of local 108 the workers
in both unions were satisfied with
the steps taken by this joint COM
mittee. But these few individuals
tried their best to break up this
united front They demanded to
call another special meeting of local
1913 in order to again discuss the
previous decisions. This was done
with the purpose of organizing all
the bad elements in that local and
under the leadership of the officials
of the Upholsterers International to
break up this united front. When
our committee came to the special
meeting of local 1913 we found an
atmosphere of separating the work.
ers instead of uniting them.
MIR. Deamer, field organizer of
the Upholsterers International, and
Mr.. Faye, secretary Of the Interna-
tional, threatened the workers OF
local 108 that if any of them will
join in this united front he will be
expelled from the organization and
removed from his job. He also bull
dozed the workers with the red scare
telling them that when worker
joins the National Furniture Work
ers Industrial Union he is forced to
join the Communist Party and if
he refuses to do SO a committee
visits his family and threatens them
to be sent to the hospital. Mr.
Deamers also stated that the policy
of the industrial unions is to lower
the conditions of the workers The
workers in the bedding industry
know it for themselves from their
own experience that it is our union
which is putting up militant fight
to improve hte conditions Of the
workers.

WE HAVE now entered into
" the second year of the

But just what did happen? Do the
declarations of official Washington
measure up with the facts? An
examination of all material avail
able shows that they do not.
In so far as business activities are
concerned, the New York Times
index proves Mr.. Roosevelt liar.
The Times index for the week
ending June 16 (Which appeared at
the time that Roosevelt and John
son made their optimistic pro-
nouncements) shows that business
activity stood at 1873, whereas dur
ing the corresponding period last
year it was GA. During As of the
81 weeks of the first year of the
New Deal business activity has been
lower than before the New Dealers
took office.
In so far as employment is con-
cerned, the American Federation of
Labor. which always underestimate
the situation, reports that employ
ment in industry is not yet back to
the September, 1888, level. :"
Purchasing power for the first
two weeks in June, 1884, was l per
cent lower than the corresponding
period year ago. During the year
prices have shot up % per cent.
RESPITE the decrease in business
" activities, the New Dealers have
seen to it that capitalists in the
basic Industries continue to wiring
high profits out Of the sweat and
toll of the working class.
The New York transit companies,
who are shouting loudly for higher
fares. who have slashed the wages
of their workers 10 per cent and
who are now proposing further
cut of 3 per cent through the pen
sion scheme, have experienced no
drop in the rate of profit during
the years of crisis.
These companies recorded a total
of S465 1896 ,038 profits for a period
of ten years ending June 30, 1892.
Transit company payrollS during
the same period amounted to $685.
957 500. For every dollar paid out
for payrolls, nearly 10 cents was
handed over to the capitalists,
coupon clippers and bankers.
ACCORDING to the Transport
n Workers Bulletin, a paper is
sued by the Transport Workers
Union these huge profits are piled
up not only through cutting the
wages of the employees, but through
merciless speed-up and inten-
Sification of labor.
The B. M. T., through its COM
pany union agents, is trying to
head off the developing struggle Of
the workers and keep them from
joining a class struggle union by
proposing to return 2 per cent Of

Aaron Burr, Who Later Killed Treasury
Secretary Carried Challenge for Encounter
That Never Came About
MISS MOLYNEAUX

Did you know that James
Monroe, once President of the
United States, and Alexander
Hamilton, Secretary Of the Trea-
sury under George Washington,
nearly fought a duel?
This hitherto unknown bit of
history has just come to light.
In an obscure New York book
store q particularly Shrewd col
lector found q letter from Mr..
Monroe to Mr.. Hamilton. Read
ing the missive, the collector
gasped.
He had found q fact never
before chronicled.
In one Of the sentences, Mr..
Monroe wrote to Mr.. Hamilton:
I'm my Judgment you ought
either to have been satisfied
with the explanations which
! gave you upon the subject to
which those letters referred or
to have invited me to the
field"
This sentence, in the year Of
its composition, 1907, could have
meant but one thing: A duel.
Duel Never Held
Yet the meeting on the field
Of honor was never held. History
remains silent both as to the
possibility Of the fight, and the
reason it was not fought.
Stranger still is the fact that
in the first sentence Of the note,
Mr.. Monroe wrote:

form you, Immediately after the
receipt Of yours Of August 8,

SUBCOMMITTEE
To STUDY HIS
MEASURE
High Profits to Distributors
and High Prices Attacked
at Senate Hearing

On the basis Of testimony ad-
duced from the Senate District
Committees investigation Of the
local milk industry, Senator Pat
McCarran CD Of Nevada today
urged the Senate Agricultural
Committee to take favorable &C
ton on his resolution calling for
a national probe Of the dairy bust
ness.
After the hearing the measure
was referred to a subcommittee
composed Of Senators George Nc
Gill CD of Kansas, Lynn j. Fra
zier (R.) Of North Dakota, and
Henrik Shipstead (F+L0 Of Min
neSota.
Huge Profits Cited
Senator McCarran reviewed the
District Committees report on the
local inquiry, which pointed out
that there are stror . indications
that national dairy corporations
are tending toward monopolistic
purposes and are making huge
profits, while the farmers are un-
able to obtain cost Of production
and the consumers are not being
benefited.
Much Of the discussion con-
cerned the question whether the
Senate should make its own inves-
tigation, as proposed by the Ne
vada Senator, or should authorize
the Federal Trade Commission to
take charge Of the probe. The
latter course was suggested as q
possibility by Secretary Of Agricul-
ture Wallace, who has recon-
mended the investigation.
It is believed Ellwood H. Seal,
assistant corporation counsel for
the District, who was the invest1-
gator in the local inquiry, will be
sought to direct the proposed ma
tional probe if it is decided that
1t shall be made by the Senate.
Price Below Cost
Senator McCarran told the
committee, concerning the Wash
ington situation:
"The producers are not re-
ceiving cost of production, while
the consumer is not getting q
commensurate benefit to ac-
count for this loss. The large
dairies, meanwhile, are making
high profits and paying large
SalarieS.''
Asserting that the health regu-
lations regarding dairy farmers,
in this area are the most strin-
gent in the country, Senator Nc
Carran said:
'My understanding is that
there seems to be some agree
ment between the health au-
thorities and the large diStrib-
ut0rS Of milk that, when it is
desired to cut down the supply,
the health authorities will put
discretionary additional regula-
tiOnS on the farmer"
