Especial TO the pailr worker

NEW KENSINGTON, Pa, Sept. 2.
The strike of 8,700 aluminium
workers here approached defeat last
night as Boris Shiskin, A. F. of L.
union leader, reporting on the
Washington negotiations with the
Labor Board, urged the strikers to
return to work and accept N. R. A.
arbitration"
The position which A. F. of L.
leaders have adopted is in sharp
contrast to the sentiment of the
strikers, who approved heartily a
leaf1et issued by the Communist
Party yesterday calling for estab-
lishment of rank and file strike
committee and no return to work
without recognition and a 50-cent
minimum.
Accept Arbitration"
Meanwhile, the A. F. Of L. Off
Gals are preventing any mass pic
keting and preparing to put over
their arbitration sellout at con-
ferences with company officials,
which are to be resumed in Pitts
burgh next Wednesday.
The progress" of the A. F. of l..
strike negotiations, under the care
full guidance of Shishkin and Dave
Williams, A. F. of L. organizer, has
been in three visible steps:
1.-The suppression of the wage
increase and 50-cent minimum de-

Harry L. Hopkins, Federal relief
administrator has declared that no
Federal relief funds will be allo~
Gated to Pennsylvania for future re-
lief unless a special session of the
State Legislature is called and the
State matches federal funds dollar
for dollar. Governor Pinchot has
refused to call the special session.
In the Pittsburgh area alone. the
$4,000 families now on relief face
absolute starvation, and immediate
eviction orders hang over the heads
Of 700 families.
Since May, Pennsylvania has had
no funds Of its own for reHef. Last
winter, Pinchot succeeded in pass
ing through the Legislature a bill
providing that revenue from ths
states liquor taxes alone should ap-
ply to relief. The estimated 500
100000 from this source did not
materialize.
State Relief Administrator Eric
n. Blddle declared Saturday that
all work relief Throughout the State
had been "tapered of" and out Of
the federal funds of S21 100000 for
July and August, enough money re-
manned to extend food relief paw
ments only for the current week.
Asked if that meant that relief
throughout the state would be cut
off entirely after this week, he de-
clared, '"That is right"
In Philadelphia, less than 800 re-
main on the relief work payroll
today, and most of these work in an
administrative capacity. Cher parts
Of the State have seen the entire
work relief program dropped. In
discussing the new works program
which was scheduled to start in
Pennsylvania on Sept. Is, Biddle de-
clared that the future of the new
works plan was now uncertain"

out the state militia in the re-
cent maritime and general strikes

vealed by state officials when
they approved vouchers on behalf
Of the military forces. The ex-
penses cover pay, supplies and
food for 1000 militiamen.
