Jobs"
To put it more clearly, the La
Guardia regime plans to put work
relief employees on the P.W.A. jobs
(if they are awarded at forced
labor wages.
On the jobs the men call the
forced labor schemes of LaGuardia
Slavery" In this sense, the fight
for adequate wages on the relief
jobs also becomes a fight against
forced labor. For skilled workers
the fight is for the continuance of
skilled work at continued trade
union rates and for more hours.
Every trade union, all workers
organizations are urged to take
immediate steps to mobilize their
entire membership for mass march

BY DON TRUMAN

Accepting the general strike
mandate voted by the acclaim of
over 1000 workers at the Irving
Plaza meeting on July 9th, the lead
ers of the Bathrobe Workers IN
dustrial Union have set about to
broaden the base and round out
the organization of the strike
forces.
Their first care was to penetrate
the open shop markets existing on
the very threshold of New York,
in the neighboring states of Con-
necticut and New Jersey, which
serve as reservoirs of cheap labor.
The existence of these open shop
centers is a perennial menace to
the living standards of New York
workers.
Workers Eager to Join Union
Under the benevolent protection
Of local organizations of business
men, smiled upon by local mayors
and police chiefs, open shops null
tiply there like mushrooms after a
ALPHABETICALLY after militant
strike in the metropolitan area. OF
big shops there also are few. The
Rahbob and the Royal have some
500 workers between them. An
other 500 find employment in the
open shop sector of Red Bank, New
Jersey.
The workers in both of these
districts were ripe for organization.
They welcomed the advance of the
union. Contacts we're speedily es-
tablished in many of the larger
factories. A local was getting under
way in So. Norwalk. The workers
were lining up for the strike; they
were awaiting the signal from New
York saying that all the other
workers were ready for the gen.
eral walkout. Organization was 60
ing on rapidly-too rapidly for the
peace Of mind of the local bosses.
Whether or not through the SER
vices of a certain well known labor
spy hired by the bosses to break
up the growing organization, the
police tracked one of the organ
izers, Frank Boldino. Last Thurs
day they suddenly seized him in
the street and threw him into jail
for questioning. There wasn't the
slightest pretense at legality. They
we're following the path blazed for
them by the vigilantes oof the West
Coast.
Boldino laughed at their offer to
turn him loose on his promise to
leave town and desist from further
union activity. He is an American
citizen, and he will want to know
by what right a worker can be
kidnapped off the streets and Jailed

In other words, while at least
225,000 applied for relief in the five
months period from March to July,
only about $1,000 were added to the
relief lists.
At the same time, basing aver
ages on the figures of the relief
administration, average relief to
families have been cut from $45.53
in April to 1861 in July.
Pointing q finger at Washington,
declaring that he would move
heaven and earth to get P.WA. ap-
preparation, LaGuardia plans an
other trip to Washington at the
time of Roosevelt's return. Again
LaGuardia feeds the hungry with
phrases when they demand bread.

Families Denied Relief

Families applying for relief are
Systematically denied relief in any
form and tens of thousands are
dropped from the lists as new names
are added.
Speaking on March 16, Commits
sioner Hodson said, Home relief
applications have increased from a
daily average of 1 $50 in February to
an average of 1882 thus far in
March" Throughout the succeeding
months, Hodson and Edward Corsi,
head of the Home Relief Bureau, is
sued statements that new applica-
lions were pouring in at the rate of
1900 daily. On August 2, Hodson,
expressing fears" for the relief sit
uation during the coming winter,
said that new applications for re-
lief continued to come at the rate
of 1000 daily Assuming that these
gentlemen are correct in stating
that at least $500 new relief appli-
cants are received daily, at least
225,0 have applied for relief since
March /.

the results of the Albany delegation,
which presented relief demands to
Gov. Lehman last week, will fling
LaGuardia's charge back into his
teeth. The winter facing the unem-
ployed," he said, will be one of I'M
paralleled misery unless we act now
to force the city administration to
abandon the present haphazard re-
lief, and place relief on an adequate
basis"
Trade unions and workers mass
organizations are asked to mobilize
their membership in preparation for
the march.
Mass Firings
Under the present policy of the
LAGuardia elief administration,
every worker on the relief jobs whose
pay Is less than what he would
otherwise receive if on home relief
will be kept on the job. Workers
whose pay is in excess of home re-
lief budgets are being fired. Skilled
workers and white-collar workers
are being fired, and after period
of waiting during which they must
make re-application for relief, are
put on home relief.
Thus, white collar workers on the
projects who earn $24 week would
need to have at least seven depend
entS in order to remain on the job
under the new ruling. Skilled work
ers are being fired or transferred to
laborers' jobs at lower rates Of pay
Fifty painters on the Bronx Mills job
were laid off and offered laborers'
jobs. Putting up struggle, they
forced the relief administration to
re-hire them as painters and pay
them for time lost.
A recent order signed by Borough
Engineer Heasley stated that all
workers fired for "loaflng" would be
denied all relief for at least SO days,
and then would get only commodity
relief. Promptly 200 workers were
fired from the Spit Rock Road job,
and each was handed discharge
slip reading, In the space for dis
charge reason: 'loafing."

takings in Holmes county, is announced
this week by T. M. Williams, county
agent, who is mailing out letter and
QUESTIONABLE to all dairymen seeking de-
tailed information of the status of the

completed will give the desired data as
well as an inventory of the situation in

In the list of questions desired ans
wered are: how many milk cows owned,
how many pounds of milk or cream sold,
satisfaction of present system market
ing, and what suggestions offered would
improve same. Those who are not SELL
ing milk or cream are asked if they
would be willing to give it trial In
event no separator is owned, the ques-
tion is asked if one is made available
could the dairymen use the skimme ed
milk for hogs and chickens
In conclusion the county agent asks
that if the questions asked in the letter

greatest merchandising event that has

The many friends who have known Mr..
Thomas for a number of years can
vouch for the fact that the sales con-
Quoted by him are so different from the
average sale, because his first point in
the preparation for a sale is to gain
the confidence of the public and be-
cause he uses extra special features dur
ing the holding of the sale that compels
you to come back from day to day.
Special attention is called to the
features displayed in the show windows.
Nh. Thomas is especially anxious to
see his many friends from the Pickens.
Durant and Tchua communities attend

made special efforts to see that there
will be enough mems suits and ladies'

to make things extremely interesting
to those who desire to buy. Every train
coming into Lexington is bringing in
large shipments of new summer goods.
