German Supports Board
Raymond V. Ingersoll, President
of the Borough of Brooklyn, N. Y,
was Tammany Hall chairman of
Governor CAP Smiths 1924 cam
paign.
German began today's morning
press conference with the state
ment, Nothing official has been re-
ceived from the board" When asked
by your correspondent whether
he didn't think the personnel of
the new board would make it i'm
possible to give the workers con-
sideration, German replied, dodg-
ing: 1.-THE president, in his judg-
ment, has appointed this board.
don't know any members of the
board. We have nothing to lose. If
they don't meet our expectat ions
we won't accept their recommends
tons" But when an employers
trade organ reporter reminded Cor
man that the Roosevelt board didn't
have to make report until October
and said, That's a long time. How
about the strike until them" Cor
man didn't answer.
1t is significant that German is
supporting just another variation CT
the recognized Roosevelt Board"
method of breaking strikes, despite
repeated confessions that these
boards only fool workers. The
Liberal Scripps- Howard News, a
screaming supporter of the N. r. A.,
quotes German today:
pretty Terrible Experiences"
"Our people have had some pretty
terribly experiences with 9th e +
boards in the past. On previous oc-
casions when board has investi-
gated conditions of the workers,
conditions were worse afterward
than they were when the board
began"
When questioned about the signed
Washington dispatch in today's New
York Times, that the U. T. w. will
continue the strike pending the
findings of the mediation board
unless President Roosevelt asks the
union to call off the walk-out."
German declared the story "a mis-
statement" The Times reported
apologized, saying Some mixup"
occurred "in the office" However, 1t
is indicative Of the way the wind is
blowing around strike Headquarters
that no U. T. w. official even re-
ferred to the Times story until 1t
was called to Germans attention.
In answer to many questions
about the spreading activities of
the deputized murder squads oper-
ating under employer-governnent
direction, German announced that
1--WE urged our people to maintain
the peace. We're having hard
time doing it in the face of the
shoctings in the back. The workers
were shot down in cold blood lust
as they were in Marion, II. G., Min
neapolis and ether Dlacss."
