ALLISON TO MEET

Bulge land Perry Will Face
in Second Match of Cup

r ONDON. July 26.-America's 8
hopes Of recapturing the Davis
Cup, lost In 1927, scared today
~ as Wilmer Allison, veteran
Texan, was drawn to meet England s
H. w. BUNNY Austin in the opening
singles match of the challenge round.
starting tomorrow at Wimbledon.
The second match of the opening
days program will pit Donald Bulge,
red-headed Californian, against Fred
Perry, king Of the world amateurs.
Their chances of lifting the cup ap-
parently resting entirely on the ability
Of both Allison and Bulge to whip
Austin, the Americans were openly de-
lighted by the luck of the draw which
gives the 3l-year-old Texan his crack
at England's second-string singles ace
on the first day while he still will be
fresh.
Tough Job for Allison.
MO LONGER boasting the stamina
= he once had, Allison will play all
three days of the series, singles to-
morrow and Tuesday when the OPEN
ing days pairings are reversed. and in
the doubles with John Van Ryn
against George Patrick Hughes and
Charles Raymond Davys Tuckey. on
Monday.
Had the draw turned out otherwise,
Allison would have had to face the
all-but unbeatable Perry on the open
ing day and Austin on Tuesday.
After two previous matches the Texan
might not have been anywhere near
his best against Austin.
Tickled by the turn of events. JOS
eph w. Wear, Americas non-playing
captain, said: THE draw suits us
right down to the ground"
Win Over Austin Needed.
IF ALLISON should defeat Austin
tomorrow Americas chances of re-
gaining the historic tennis trophy
would be better than even. Experts
figure the American combination of
Allison and Van Ryn will win the
doubles and count heavily on 19-year-
old Bulge to topple Austin on Tues
day in the final match of the series.
The California youngster defeated
Austin in the recent all-England
championships and climaxed his SEN
sational play abroad in the interzone
finals with Germany by defeating
both Heiner Henkel and Gottfried Won
Cramm, the Teuton ace, who gener-
ally is regarded as second only to
Perry in the list Of world amateurs.

Building Jobs
Show Big Drop

WASHINGTON. D. c., Feb. g.
Testimony of Harry G. Bates, inter
national president Of the Bricklayers
Union, brought out before the Sen
ate Judiciary subcommittee hear
ing on the Black 30-hour- week Bill.
that the MIRA. had failed TO help
unemployment in the building
trades.
Bates said the N.R.A. code for the
construction industry had been ad-
ministered so that any employer
of bricklayers could avoid paying
the stipulated wage.
A regional agreement for the New
York area provided for $12 wage
but the Edison Electric Co., en-
ployed bdicklayers for $40 and was
sustained by the legal department
of the MIRA, Bates brought out.
1.-THE Edison company appealed to
Richberg's legal department, Bates
said, which rendered an opinion
that the company was not bound
by the regional agreement. That
decision nullified any attempt to
maintain wage scale or other
terms of the agreement.
Bates, however, instead Of mobi-
lizing the workers in his union for
a unified fight, together with the
other building trade unions, for bet
ter conditions, is spending his ener-
gies in jurisdictional dispute for
job control, with other building
trades officials.

Silk Delegates
Call for Strike

ALLENTOWN, Pa. (FP).- con-
ference of 80 delegates from SO silk
locals in Pennsylvania, New Jersey
and New York, meeting in Allen
town Sunday, went on record for an
industry-wide strike in silk after
referendum Of all locals has been
taken. The local unions repre-
sented are all members of the Amer
lean Federation of Silk Workers,
U. T. w. A affiliate. and they took
part in the 1884 textile strike.
Delegate after delegate expressed
disappointment over the outcome of
the 1884 strike and extreme bitter
ness that the Winant report on
wages and hours, due Feb. l, and
which this conference had been
called to discuss, had not yet been
made. Only realization that the
time is not yet ripe prevented an
immediate strike call. A regional
conference to get further support
for strike action will be held in
New England shortly.
Reports from Pennsylvania dele
gates, especially, showed that work
ers are becoming tired of waiting
for action from Washington, which
may or may not be favorable to the
workers. Strike sentiment is grow
ing and it is evident that in any
1885 silk strike workers will not
abandon picket lines until explicit
wage, hour and stretchout conces-
sions have been won-regardless of
White House promises.

New Leader
Eats Words
On VigOritO
RetractiOn Shows Sian
derOus Intent Despite
Hedging Language

Under the pressure Of protests
from members of the Socialist
Party. the New Leader, official organ
of the party, has published a hedg-
ing retraction of its slanderous
charge that Charles Vigorito, newly
elected president of the Paterson
Dyers Union is a notorious fascist"
The retraetion appeared in the Feb.
2 issue of the paper.
The basis for the defamation of
Vigorito is his membership in two
Italian organizations in which there
are also members with fascist SYM
pathies.
The New Leader statement, at
tempting to conceal the deliberate
ness of the SANDER, declared:
'Basing the statement upon sources
of information always found reliable
in the past, we reported that Vigo-
rito, candidate of the Communists,
was a fascist and a member of the
Republican club and fascist or
ganization called the Circolo Nazio-
male of Paterson.
THE New Leaders purpose in
printing the story was not to re-
fleet upon Vigorito in his personal
capacity or as the chosen spokesman
of several thousand workers, but
upon the good faith and intelligence
of the Communists who recklessly
support anyone The fact that
Vigorito was "the chosen spokesman
of several thousand workers" $4,000
to be exacD did not deter the New
Leader from slandering him.
"Vigorito denies he is a fascist,
although he admits membership in
the two organizations The New
Leader also has received several
protests on its statements about him
with demands that we Withdraw the
charge"
After beating around the bush in
this manner, the New Leader states:
I'm the interest of the working
class we assuredly wish him (Vigo-
rito) successful administration
without withdrawing our criticism
of the recklessness of supporting
a candidate with such connections. +"
The New Leader prints parts Of
letters sent by Herman Wolfe, edi-
tor of the Silk and Dye Worker, a
member of the Socialist Party, pro-
testing against the slanderous at
tack, and one from the organizer
of the Socialist Party in Paterson,
who apparently sent in the original
information" but now tries to lex
plain" matters.
Although Vigorito sent a state
ment in answer to the ISLANDERS, to
the New Leader and to other papers,
not a sentence Of 1t was printed in
the New Leader.
