UNION FORMED BY U. S. RELIEF WORKERS HERE Protest to Be Carried to President Roosevelt, Leaders Say. Existence here of an Emergency Workers union, organized in units corresponding to the units of administration employed by the federal emergency relief administration, was revealed today with circulation among relief workers of a fourteenpoint manifesto of its grievances and of requested wage adjustments. The union, which aims to perfect country-wide organization in the near future and which already has arranged, its head say, for the use of county courtrooms for this council's meetings, has been organizing ir. secret meetings held in barns, garages and private halls. The idenity of its organizers and present officers was not made public because, these men said, the FERA would strike mercilessly at them if their identities were known before the union was organized completely. "We plan to carry our grievances directly to the President." a spokesman for the union said today. While the complaints in the manifesto deal almost altogether with working condition?. the possibility of an interesting political flar-up as a result of the union's activities was seen in the charge of this spokesman that Republicans were predominant in FERA administrative posts. It was pointed out to him that the men in FERA headquarters. 217 North Senate avenue, were predominantly Democratic. "Yes." he replied, “but the work assignment men. held over from the CWA days, when the Republicans had almost everything, are Republicans and any check will show this to be true." He was particularly bitter about what he described as "an extensive system of espionage" employed by FERA assignment officers and the second demand of the manifesto is discontinuance of this system. The workers, basing their demand on the S3O paid monthly to civilian conservation corps workers, ask S3O a member for each family, with shelter, subsistence and clothing. They protest the use of Negro foremen on projects where white workers are employed, the assignment of unqualified workers to skilled and semi-skilled jobs; the employment of women in the "supply and distribution of male labor;" the ""lying” by FERA administrators to "the working class.” They demand schooling for all FERA workers who can not read and write; establishment of a grievance board of two union members and two FERA officers; signing i of NRA consumers’ cards by all FERA workers; unemployment insurance; passage of a law licensing all machinery supplanting workers j in mass production, the license fees i to go toward unemployment insur- | ance payments. The word "tabloid" was coined j fifty years ago as a name for com- j pressed chemical products, and is a copyrighted trade-mark.

MURDER STORY IS UNFOLDED IN COURT Alleged Insurance Killer’s Friend on Stand. Riff nitril Pres* COOPERSTOWN, N. Y., Aug. 24. —Bespectacled Martha Clift resumed her story of murder for insurance today that may send her friend. Mrs. Eva Coo. to the electric chair. She is paying the state its price for sparing her the possibility of a similar fate. She was to complete today her damaging testimony by which the state hopes to convict Mrs. Coo for the murder of her handy man, Harry Wright. Mrs. Clift testified she drove the car which struck Wright on Crumhorn mountain the night the crippled handy man is alleged to have been slain so Mrs. Coo could collect 59.802 insurance which she had on Wright's life. Mrs. Clift placed the blame squarely on the buxom roadhouse mistress. She claimed she ran over Wright accidentally and was duped by "Little Eva."
