NETWORK. - Busks Pfeffefmsn, a
young girl neckwear operator, was
brutally beaten, cursed and insulted
In the Office of the United Neckwear
Union, Local 11O16, by Louis Fuchs,
manager Of the union. Fuchs led a
group Of thugs in Madison Square
Garden Friday and helped to beat up
many workers.
Last summer Fuchs wanted to take
Buska out Of the Partisan Shop,
stating that there was not enough
work. She then decided to go to
school for three months and was
promised that when she returned she
could have a job. The job, however,
was not forthcoming when Bruska
returned.
She took the matter UP with the
grievance board and was referred to
the manager, Mr.. Fuchs, who refused
to listen to her grievances, beat her
up and threw her out Of the Office.

WHAT makes sports in the Soviet
w Union so different, so much more
honest, clean, SO much more bene-
fetal to the masses Of workers ano
peasants, than in the United States?
Can there be mass participation IN
sports in this country?
It's all in the difference between
the two systems. The difference be-
tween a government controlled by
an exploiting capitalist class which
runs it for It's own profit, and s.
government controlled by workers
and peasants for their benefit.
AS long as that system remains
here, mass participation in sports
can never be realized in the same
sense that it is in practice in the
Soviet Union. Here capitalists own
the athletic equipment and facilities.
They make the rules. They run the
show - except that comparatively
small, but growing, part under the
Labor Sports Union. But the worker
athletes Of the Soviet Union cams
through. Well do the same in this
country, too.

Sales by Section average now
more than 1000 a week, compared
with only 939 at the start Of the

Section l laid a good basis for its

Settlement in Move
10 Throttle Genuine
FTe-Trap Protest
Rejects Cooperation of
Other Groups; Plans
Mourning Parade

NEW YORK. - Officials Of the
Stuyvesant Neighborhood House, u
st. Marks Pl.. which was attended
by the five children burned to death
in Saturdays tenement fire, have re-
fused the cooperation OF scores OF
East Side organizations and groups
in protest against the fire hazards
which exist in tenenlents throughout
the East Side.
This was revealed in a telephone
conversation with Miss Lydia Ban
ming. head Co-worker at the Stuy-
vesant House, who admitted that
different groups had been tele-
phoning her all day Monday, Of
fering their aid in a united protest.
A committee meeting. held at the
StuyYessnt House, Monday after
noon, decided that it would head a
parade Of its own settlement chill
dren to City Hall some time on
Thursday"
"The parade will be limited only
to the children of this settlement,
who knew the dead children init
mately," Miss Banning declared.
Don't you think that a protest
which included all organized groups
on the East Side, groups whose mem
bers face the same dangers and hor-
rible deaths, would be far more ef-
fective?" Miss Banning was asked.
She replied by evading the main
issue: Eve plan to invite the CO.
operation of other groups and or
CARNATIONS afterward." she said,
Our own children" to which Miss
Banning referred are the children OF
poor workers in New York's most
notorious stun area, children who
face similar deaths in the East Sides
crowded and filthy fire traps.
One group, however, has refused to
capitulate to the settlements evasion,
and timidity-the Young Pioneers
who have called on all working class
children to take part in a mass parade
to City Hall on Thursday.
The Pioneer parade, to which all
children are invited, will demand the
immediate removal Of workers chill
dren and their families from old
tenement fire traps into modern
apartment houses, with no increase ir
rent.
Children will gather In mass at It'll
st. and Ave. A at 1920 am. TO-DAY
and will march past the scene of the
fire, 40 E. It'll st. and then on TO City
Hall.

tive Fred A. Hartley profound adj
miration- "As Republican on this
Committee, I want to compliment
General johnson on the way he has
handled the MIRA. codes" he said.
Borrowing leaf from the Hoover
book of ostrich-like demagogy, John
son intoned: u think that the Presi-
dent has seen to it that every man
and woman is fed. The President
said, no one would starve', and no
one has"
In pointing out that without
flexibility the 30 hour law would
create chaos some industries
would have to work 48 hours" John
son brazenly declared that he took
personal pride and responsibility for
increasing the auto code" from Sc to
10 hours. Of course, 1--WE already
said that if I had to DO it again. |
wouldn't do it" he added, using the
same excuse he used when he signed
the code with his assistants Green,
Of the A. F. Of L. and Lewis of the
q. NJ. w. A.
Discussion of the need for shorter
hours in the coal code brought out
JohnSon's admiration for and reli-
ance on the notorious Lewis. There
ought to be shorter hours if there
could be. think that John L. Lewis
would tell you that. He doubts the
practicability Of shortening hours in
the coal industry" he declared.
Don't you know that the q. M.
w. A. Just went on record ordering
their officers to get shorter hours?"
asked Nessz.
"Of course, we're all striving for
that goal" replied Johnson.
On the election Of union in the
coal fields, Johnson stated that eff
the men vote for the U. M. w. A. or
the P. M. A. they ought to have it, -
despite the fact that the N.R.A. has
taken orders from the U. s. Steel
Corporation, the oulWark Of the fight
against real unionism. johnson did
not mention the National Miners
Union, the choice of the miners in
New Mexico and Utah,
Il saw an account that you either
aided in or drafted the selectiye draft
act" Lundeen informed johnson.
II helped little Bit" After hear
ing a list of industries which work
their slaves from 48 to Sc hours a
week, johnson nevertheless opined
that industry would take a back
Somersault if thirty hour bill we're
passed"
OF course, he knows there's no
danger of such legislation being
passed.
It Is significant that Chairman
Connery tried to help johnson erase
the effect Of his November adrnis-
sion that the Swope plan is thing
he and L have talked over for years.
I am in thorough agreement with
him. 1t is almost joint announce
ment." This admission on the next
day, when its prematureness was
realized, became "an ultimate ideal. /"
And SO, when Connery asked John
son whether the rumor that the
March code authority conference
is the first action Of "a fascist move
nlent" is correct, the General re-
piled quickly, mo. The idea is to get
some consistency"

"Only such an inclusive bill as the
Workers Unemployment and Social

meet the urgent need Of the present. I"
Though it does not appear in H. r.
1898, it is fitting to suggest that
funds appropriated for war purposes
should be expended instead for I'M
employment insurance, as economic
security is far more potent to the
peace Of the world than battIeships
and armed airplanes.
"Other bills pending do not meet
the need" she continued. "They ap-
ply to too few workers They set up
reserves which become available only
at some much later date, and on the
whole they depend upon the &C
emulation Of funds in a period Of
prosperity which is not in sight.
Moreover, they would in large meas
re depend upon the enactment of
state laws, and this is always a slow
and discouraging process. This is not
a localized state problem, but prob
lem Of the nation as a whole, de-
prompt and adequate ac-

ployment insurance to inadequate
bills is to stimulate hopes which can
