Consolidated Gas Co.
Workers inN.Y.Fight
Company UniOnPlan
Bosses Push Campaign
However, to Enforce
Slavery Scheme

NEW YORK.-Despite the
bitterness against company
unions felt by those workers
in the auxiliary companies Of
the Consolidated Gas, where
the company has tried to enforce
such unions, as in the New York
Edison Co., the Consolidated bosses
are pushing their company union
campaign.
One step in this campaign was
taken when the Consolidated Gas
Co. announced this week that it
would proceed with the formation Of
a company union, because a ma
iority" of the $4,000 employees Of this
company and its Is auxialies had
signed a request" that such a vote
be held. Signatures to such re
quests" for company unions are OBJ
tanned in the same way as the fas-
cist government roll up votes. Any
one refusing to sign is made to I'M
derstand what the consequences will
be.
This request" for ballot or
company union representatives asks
the company to select the tellers
to count the votes. Free and Sc
cret" ballots are promised. but no.
thing is said about the freedom te
make nominations.
The Brotherhood of Utility En-
ployes has issued a statement that
it would challenge such an election
and would ask N. R. A. supervised
elections. These elections have in
practice, however, been of not much
benefit to the workers, who have
found in the last few months that
only struggles under rank and file
leadership for better conditions have
meant anything in the way Of real
protection and material gainz.
A company union was formed sew
eral months ago by the New York
Edison Co., subsidiary Of the Con-
solidated, and its existence has
aroused a great deal of bitterness
among several thousand workers. II
has failed to benefit them in any
material way, representatives say.
The workers in the Brooklyn Edi.
son Co., Hudson Ave, steam gen.
Grating plant, biggest steam general
ing plant in the world and produc-
ing a million horsepower, are al
most solidly organized in an
independent union.

BULLETIN
NEW YORK.-A demonstration
to demand that the Fifth Ave.
Bus Co. give employment to Ne
groes as drivers and conductors is
called for this morning at 1880
o'clock in front of the COM
pany's offices at 132nd st. and
Broadway. The demonstration is
called by the League of Struggle
for Negro Rights, which is lead
ing the mass struggle against the
discrimination policy of the bus
company. All workers are urged to
support this action.
NEW YORK. T. Wood,
president Of the Fifth Ave. Coach
Co., COS West 132nd ST., has re-
ceived hundreds of letters and wires
from organizations in the past two
weeks, protesting the discrimination
practiced by the company in their
refusals to hire Negro drivers and
conductors on the buses.
Rose Wortis, of the Trade Union
Unity Council, to which many
unions are affiliated, notified the
League of Struggle for Negro Rights
that her organization and eight af-
filiated unions had sent resolutions
to Wood endorsing the fight against
discrimination.
The United Council of Working
Glass Women of the Bronx wrote
Mr.. Wood: 1--WE shall do everything
in our power to urge the women of
our organization and their friends
not to use the Fifth Ave. buses I'M
til you concede the demands against
discrimination.
The Workers Dance League mott
fed the company that their 300
members had also pledged not to
use the buses. Similar action was
taken by the Edith Berkman Branch
of the international Labor Defense,
the Prospect Workers Center of the
Bronx, and several other organiza-
tons throughout the city.
Picketing which continues daily
at 125th st. and It'll Ave. is partici-
pated in by workers from clubs,
unions and various organizations
not only in Harlem, but from
the Bronx and downtown
sections. All workers, interested in
the campaign for jobs, are urged to
report at the headquarters of the
League Of Struggle for Negro Rights,
119 West 135th st.
Thousands Of leaflets are being
distributed along the bus route,
and many individuals have sent in
their protests against discrimins-
ton. Thes leaflets, which have a
form at the bottom to tear off and
mail to the Coach Co, can be OBJ
tanned at 119 w. 135th st.

Miss Stem is a roaring beauty and
her film probably suits her. Although
we are not at liberty at the moment
to 60 into its merits or its defects,
we can say ahead of time that its
star is good looking. This is one of
the laws of the picture business. "If,' u
say the cinema chiefs, you think
Miss Zilch is good, then for heaven
sake, write about her. If she isn't,
then be quiet"
Since Miss Zilch Gin this case Anna
"Nana" Stem is a genuine pearl
blond and lady-like, We can rush to
her defense and spill ink in minor
exaltions over her virtues. While her
acting will not throw you into fits
(such as Lily Pons' high notes did the
other day at Constitution Hall to a
LADY,, she has that calm air of ele-
radiance can boast, and we venture to
say that the curve of both her upper
and lower lip is the finest on the
market.
Miss Sten is one of the few screen
actresses who can stand being called
beautiful every few minutes. When
you see Mana" you will note that Mr.
Goldwyn (probably to make her feel
happy at working in his studio) has
seen to it that one of the characters
rushes up to her and says, "Oh, my
dear, you are so beautiful" when
ever there is lull in the proceedings
There aren't many actresses who can
stand this sort Of business. Many
and many time prize beauty looks
frowsy before the final curtain, and
when a man says to her, You are the
most beautiful woman in the world, -
he should add, THAT is, at twilight,
with the light behind you"
Miss Sten, however, never f1inches
before her admirers, keeping her
peach complexion and her grade A
profile up to the final drop. Never
once does she tweek out wrinkle
when somebody tells her that she's
q wow. She remains calm and beau
tiful throughout. And just when you
are hoping that she may just for
minute relax into a sour old witch,
begad she bursts out with another
trick expression that plants all the
other shots" of her in the shade.
