NEWARK FIGHTS
MAIL SHIFT

The proposal Of Mayor La
Guardia, Of New York, to have
the Eastern Air Mail terminal re-
moved from the Newark IN. j.
airport to the Floyd Bennett
Field on Long Island, has
brought forth a sharp protest
from Newark interests, Second
Assistant Postmaster General
Harlee Branch, in charge of air
mail, said today.
The Newark interests will be
given a hearing some time next
week to present their protest.
Under the LaGuardia plan,

ample number of subway mail
cars from the New York post
office to the Church Street sub
way station in Brooklyn. From
there the mail would be trans
ported to the Floyd Bennett
Field by means of postoffice mail
trucks.
The LaGuardia plan has been
turned over to the departments

HARVARD GROUP
IN RADIO STUDY

Armed with specially designed
receivers and an ultra high-fre-
quency transmitter mounted in a
travelling laboratory, a group of
young Harvard scientists who have
been waging war on radio static
and interference today carried
their battle before the American
Physical Society, now in session
at the Bureau of Standards.
Directed by Assistant Prof.
Harry Rowe Mimno, the group in
cludeS Paul King, John Alvin
Pierce, H. Selvidge and John v.
Ghigli, all from the Graduate
School Of Engineering Of Harvard
University.
Problems Studied
They are seeking the answer to
why your radio can get greater
distance at night than in the day
time. They want to know what
effect the suns rays have on re-
ception and to what extent
thunder and magnetic storms
alter radio waves. There are a
thousand problems to be solved
in the radio field, they say, and
the Harvard men believe they are
on the right track.
A product of their own handi-
work, their laboratory is a
uniquely designed automobile en-
closed in copper Sheeting to shut
out all interference. Apparatus
has been installed to measure the
effect of geographical and metero-
logical conditions on all types of
transmission.
This is achieved by measuring
the time taken by radio beam
from the instant it is sent until
it is reflected from a ceiling of
ions some so miles above the
earth's surface and registered by
the receiver.

{ ENGINEERING
SCHOOL Of c. v.
80 YEARS OLD

George Washington UniverSity'S
school of engineering today OBJ
served the fiftieth anniversary OF
its founding.
The first class had the grand
total of six students, who were
graduated in 1888. The next year,
there was one graduate. When
the present school term Is COM
pleted, AZ students will receive
degrees in engineering.
OF the first six graduates Of the
school, which way back in 1884
was known as the Corcoran Scien.
tific School, only one is living, and
he has created a reputation for
himself of which the school is
proud.
He is George w. Littlehales, for
merly chief scientist Of the hydro
graphic office in the U. s. Navy,
who worked out the method Of
navigation for the Byrd Arctic
flight several years ago.
The sole graduate in the class
of the following year was Allan
Davis, now principal OF ROOSEVELT
High School.
Two Other Educators
Two other washington school
principals were graduated from
the same school. They are How
ard P. Stafford, of Mcfarland
Junior High, and Francis A.
Woodward, of Gordon Junior
High School.
In that first graduating class,
there were two women, pioneers
Of their sex in the field Of engi-
neering.
The school also produced Err
nest L. Thurston, once superin-
tendent of Washington schools,
and Albert Molitor, a designer
engineer on the Panama Canal.
The celebration will be fea-
tured tonight with a banquet at

PRESIDENT ASKS
HOLMES HONOR

President Roosevelt is strongly
urging Congress to set aside the
legacy bequeathed the Federal
Government by the late Justice o.
liver Wendell Holmes for "some
purpose worthy of the man who
gave it,"
The bequest has been estimated
at about $250,000, representing the
residue of the Holmes estate.
In a special message to Con-
gress, the Chief Executive recon-
mended that a special committee
of Congress and Members of the
Supreme Court should decide on
fitting memorial to the beloved
justice. Until that is decided, he
said the money should go into a
special fund in the Treasury.
The President suggested also
that the proposed memorial be
used to promote the contributions
which law can make to the ma
tional welfare. In a glowing tribute
TO Justice Holmes, he said:
"Our generation will not soon
forget, as the learned the world
over will long remember, his ex.
traOrdinary achievements as
Judge, as historian and as
philosopher Of the law.
'"The Congress will, / am sure,
agree that it is fitting to utilize
this opportunity to remind those
who will come after us Of our
sense of the eminence Of Mr..
Justice Holmes. In so doing we
do not merely commemorate the
distinction of an American to
whom the whole world has paid
tribute.
1--WE also mark for pOsterity
our pride in his faith in Amer.
lean democracy, his confidence
in the power Of our legal insti'
tutiOns to realize, when rightly
used, the highest American
ideals. Posterity which learns
the significance Of life such as
that Of Oliver Wendell Holmes,
jr., draws inspiration from its
understanding"

Gil developed a movement around
this issue, issued a petition and
solicited hundreds of signatures de-
manding from the city administra-

After collecting these signatures
the workers elected a delegation,
went to Mayor LaGuardia demand
ing their petition be met. The
Mayor referred them to the De-
partment of Public Welfare. There
the delegation, whose spokesman
was Celia Balogh, the organizer of
the Unemployment Councils of Long
Island, demanded that such a store
be opened at once. The Assistant
Manager, Mr.. Daley, told them
that such store would be opened
but Celia Halogh together with the
delegation insisted that he confirm
his statement in writing so that a
definite answer can be given to a
meeting of the Corona Heights
workers who signed the Petition. A
letter to that effect was given to
the delegation signed by Mr.. Daley.
The delegation demanded that the

that milk be sold at the store for

are required to furnish a percent
age of the funds, and have the
final say as to the nature of the
work and local rates of pay.
Thus, the South had been pay
ing from thirty cents to high of
fifty and sixty cents, while many
other states paid almost double for
the same work. With the sole ex-
ception of house rent, often merely
jungle shacks, every other living
expense is higher here than north
of the Ohio River. The excuse has
been that under a thirty cent
minimum, "You just can't get a
Niger to do any work any more
as long as the government pays
thirty cents" Of course, it hits a
lot of poor white relatives too, but
on the theory that the general
(capitalist) good demands drastic
adjustments, the act is justifable.

that there is only one county in

Bares Mutual
Aid Racket
In vi acv' 6
BY Macy Worker Correspondent

CH W ANAN~SJ UVAhJA Cull
NEW YORK; have been a
Macy worker for the last three
years, continuously employed during
that time, a rare condition, as all
Macy workers know.
When was first hired I signed a
voluntary agreement" to pay one
per cent of my salary to the Macy
Mutual Aid Association. After six
months, during which time 1 paid
nothing, 1 was formally notified of
my membership in the organiza-
ton, and received a little brown
pamphlet which listed the regula-
tions of the association.
I read there that this is an or
ganization of Macy workers to pro-
vide sick and death benefits; that
membership is voluntary; that the
officers are Macy workers elected
by secret ballot by their fellow
workers and that the top floor of
Macy's is occupied by a hospital.
But, before very long, like all
other Macy workers, 1 discovered
the facts about the Macy Mutual
Aid Association. In the first place,
membership in the association is
not voluntary. I signed the agree
mlent when I was hired because
otherwise I would not have gotten
my job. One per cent of my wages
is deducted from my pay envelope
before that pay reaches me. Then,
all the time that I have worked for
Macy's have not voted for any
officers, nor for my floor represen-
tative, nor have I ever seen a secret
ballot.
The Board of Directors and rep
resentatives are not rank and file
workers, but executives. I have
never received or seen an account
of the proceedings at the meetings
of changes made in the bylaws, nor
have I ever had any choice in these
proceedings. Furthermore, no ac-
count of the associations income or
expenditures has ever been made to
the Macy workers. All I know is
that if 1 am lucky enough to be
sick for four or more days, I get
two-thirds of my salary beginning
with the fourth day For the first
three days get nothing.
If I go up to the hospital too
often, I am likely to lose my job
because 1 am "a liability, not an
asset" If I should contract some
serious illness, Macy's will convent
emily and gently suggest that 1 take
a leave of absence, and I shall re-
turn to find my name no longer on
the staff list.
This is the old story of a work
ers' cooperative society run by the
bosses. The Macy Local of the Of.
tice Workers Union is determined
to publicize these and other con.
ditions in Macy's. We believe thai
sick benefits should be paid from
the first day of illness and should
be paid entirely by the Strause,
themselves.

pose Of organizing all project work.
ers of Allentown and vicinity. More
than 400 attended the meeting.
The conditions under which the
project workers are compelled to
work for relief have become so bad
that in many instances workers
have walked off of the jobs, working
in mud knee deep on some of the
projects, without boots or rubbers.
working in the rain for hours at
a time. Hundreds of workers be-
cause of their weakened condition
are now paying out in doctors bills
the few cents that they receive for
their work. The general complaint
is that the budgets that are allowed
are starvation budgets, the average
of which is about $11 per week.
Some of the foremen on the prof.
ectS are real slave drivers, they com
pei the workers to sit outside to eat
their lunch, while there is plenty of
room in the field Office for all of the
workers to eat their lunch.
The work of organization of the
project workers is meeting with
resistance and many of the workers
have been warned that if they have
anything to do with organization
they will be fired The Eighth Ward
Unemployed League at its last regu-
lar meeting went on record to fight
with the project workers, and that
If any were fired for trying to or
ganize, they would help to strike the
job by throwing mass picket lines
around the project.
