colleges and among intellectuals
and professional workers, but which
is unquestionably developing widely
in the ranks of workers.
In connection with the develop

connection with the provisions of
the Wagner Bill, we must regard
with the utmost seriousness such
other developments as indicated a
Qualification of the MIRA. program.
These facts force the conclusion
that the MIRA. and its admin

more the character of an open Of

social stands and elementary po-

organizations.

Anti communist Tale
In Jewish Forward Is
Assaulted by Workers

NEW YORK.-At a shop meeting
held Monday, March u, the work
ers of the MeiseI and Popkin shop
unanimously adopted a resolution
condemning the Jewish Daily For
ward, organ Of the Socialist Party,
for a story they ran under the
headline Communists Establish
Check-off System in the Dressing
and Dyeing Shops" In their res
olution the workers stated, I'VE fully
realize the intention of the Forward
in spreading these lies about our
union and its members" They go
on further to say, that "the For
ward or any other provocators with
all their vicious statements will not
succeed in breaking the unity of
the workers"
At another shop meeting the
workers Of the Federal Star Fur
Dyeing Shop has adopted res
olution labelling the story Of the
''check-off system" as a vicious lie.
Thirty workers Of both shops
signed these resolutions.

defiance of N. R. A. and it's local

noted among the thousands of

So far it consists mainly of re-

utilization, and in general is against
the N. r. A. theory that the in

are Identical.
IA. There is to be seen the adj
vent of large numbers Of Negro
workers in the South into struggle
for better wages and working con-

the Alabama coal mines, together
with white workers. There are such

Over 1000 workers signed peti-

A committee of strikers issued the

"Over a period of months we have
been demanding and preparing fol
a general strike. Our conditions
were miserable, week after week We
worked without making even the
low code minimum of $14.O0. Oul

Messengers Send
Group to Hearing
Union Demands Mini
mum of SIS a Week

NEW YORK, April 1.-The Tele-
graph Messengers Union, ia West
18th st., has arranged to send a
delegation Of messengers to the
Telegraph Code Hearing which will
come up in Washington tomorrow
This union is the first and only one
that has made attempts to organize
this large group of young workers.
Since it's inception it has gone far
in uniting these exploited young
workers to fight for the betterment
of their conditions.
The money for this delegation to
Washington has come from the
hard-earned pennies and nickels of
the boys themselves, who feel the
need to expose their miserable con-
ditions at the hearing. They are
going down there to demand a SIS
minimum wage and to demand that
the companies pay for their equip
ment, such as shoes and bicycles.
AS in the past the Western Union
Telegraph Company is attempting
to intimidate the boys and threatens
them with the loss of their jobs.
Any measures of these corporations
to modest or terrorize this delega-
ton will be militantly fought by
the Telegraph Messengers Union
and organizations of other workers.
The report of the hearing will be
given in the Daily Worker.

John F. Sherman,
Head Of Big Stool
Pigeon Ring, Dies
His Organization ''Inac.
active Until MIRA.
Came on Scene
tBy a Worker Correspondent

NEW YORK.-A few days ago
New York papers carried the story
of the death Of John F. Sherman.
The papers did not state that this
man was the head of one of the
largest stool-pigeon outfits in the
United States. For years this fell
low, at the head of a nationwide
organization, had on his staff thou
sands of men and women sold their
self-respect for a few paltry dollars
to spy on and expose their fellow
workers.
Several years ago Sherman made
a boast that he had a large num-
Der of spies planted in the Workers
(Communist) Party. Some years
back, in Chicago, it was revealed
that Sherman and his pals had
stirred up violence in strikes
through their spies and then placed
the blame on workers who were
fighting for the right to live.
The men and women employed by
the outfit that this man Sherman
operated were so lacking in princi-
pie that once they left the employ
Of Sherman it was practically i'm
possible for them to get job with
other spying, scabbing and strike
breaking agencies. They became so
rotten in their work that even other
groups just as bad were afraid of
them and did not trust them.
In the past few years the Sher-
man Agency has been rather mac
tive until General Johnson and the
N.R.A. appeared on the scene. Sher-
man and his agents came to life
again and elaborate Offices were set
up in Chicago, New York and Wash
ington.
