Work of Marine Union
Among Bargemen Gets
Results i'm N. Y.
BY DAVID DRUMMoND

ONE of the main problems that
" confronts the Marine Workers
Industrial Union in the port of
New York is the winning of the
harbor workers over to our pro-
gram. There are approximately
$4,000 harbor workers in the port
of New York.
The M W. I. U. has carried on
much work among the harbor
workers, especially the bargemen,
and has been responsible for win
ming Of better conditions for hun
dreds of bargemen. The union or
ganized an action of the bargemen
of the Bouker Contracting Co. that
resulted in an increase of wages
amounting to $24 per month. We
had only two members in this COM
pany when the action took place
but now all the men in the COM
pany are joining the union.
This action of winning better
conditions Tor the bargemen in this
company has gained tremendous
sentiment for the NJ. w. I. u. The
union is numerically weak on the
harbor but the influence Of the
union is very strong. The big task
that confronts the union at the
present time is to carry ON opposi-
ton work in the reformist unions
in the harbor.
Last winter the union was respon-
sible for increase in wages of the
men that work for Burns Bros Coal

EDITOR s DEATH
LAID To THUGS

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Sept. 4.
U.N.S0.-Only a meager descrip-
ton of the two assassins guided
police today in their hunt for the
killers of Howard Guilford, 40,
crusading editor and foe of the
underworld, who was slain last
night by shotgun blast.
Mr.. Guilford, former editor of
the militant weekly publications,
The Saturday Press and The
Pink Sheet, was driving home
when an automobile bearing the
two killers crowded his car to
the curb in the exclusive PillSbury
Avenue district.
One of the gangsters fired a
shotgun blast which nearly de-
capitated Mr.. Guilford. The
editors automobile rolled up on
the sidewalk with its dead driver.
The killers paused a moment to
make sure Mr.. Guilford was dead
and then raced away.
The death car bore yellow IL
cense plates, police learned from
Everett Swanson, %, the only
witness to the murder. Mr.. Swan-
son could give only haZy
description of the two killers.
Mr.. Guilfords stormy journal
istic career nearly came to an
end in 1927 when he was shot in
the abdomen by gunmen. AL
though wounded seriously he re-
covered.

'GRUNTS AND LOBSTERSF FIGHTING
REAL Battle OF THE CENTURY

Furnishing counter attacks, slashing
and failing about with their rapiers
until they drive their aggressors from
the corner. They never stand, fin to
leg, and slug it out.
There was still another analogy to
the boxing profession. Sinister
rumors flew around. They were
coupled with observations that the
combatants seemed content to fence
and spar without getting over any
really heavy punches.
But there was some support from
proponents of the scientific exhibition
against the sidewalk brawl. That
widely publicized encounter between
the spider and the snake out at St.
Charles was recalled as slow but in
teresting, too.
Charles Doyle CT the aquarium lent
some measure of confirmation to the

President Roosevelt is understood tc
have signed the act of Congress au-
thorizing the Commissioners to bor-
row $40, 100000 from the Public Works
Administration for public works in the
District, but an official announcement
to this effect Is not expected before
tomorrow.
Chairman King of the Senate Dis
trict Committee, who conferred with
the President this morning, left the
White House with the impression the
President already had signed this
legislation, of vital importance tc local
authorities who have planned a num-
ber of necessary local projects.
In the program worked out for the
distribution of this money is included
construction of a sewage disposal
plant, to cost $4,000, 900: building of
wall at Lorton Reformatory for
$500, 900; construction of an adult
tuberculosis hospital, for 81 ,500,0 900,
and an addition at Gallinger Hospital,
$750,000.
In anticipation of the Presidents
approval, the Commissioners already
have approached Secretary Ickes, ad-
ministrator of the Public Works Ad-
ministration. It is understood Admin
istrator Ickes has given approval to
the sewage disposal part of the pro-
gram, but the rest of the program
is still in doubt.
Ickes has been represented as hav-
ing requested the Commissioners to
submit a detailed plan of the sewage
plan and indicated that loan and
grant would be forthcoming soon.

ident disposes of the local legislation

AMARILLO, Tex. June 81
The Army and Navy have at
