Tho the Cuneo lockout is one of the most important that ever confronted the two unions in Chicago, it was only: after they first had the matter of unity settled that the meeting proceeded to discuss the Cuneo strike. Several speakers expressed the hope that the step taken at Saturday's meeting was ‘only the beginning of a movement to amalgamate the entire printing indus- try.

The fight against the Cuneo open shop scheme is now going to proceed in real earnest. Officials of Press- men No. 3 assured the members that the union had the funds to carry on the struggle until Cuneo was forced to surrender. It developed that Berry’s tools in Chicago, with head- quarters at 181. West Wasihngton street have been bringing in scabs from other cities. Members of the Pressmen’s Union have been ap- proached with offers of good jobs with the Cuneo company and also jobs as organizers if they betrayed their fel- low workers. But these union men spurned the offers of the strikebreak- ers, The members of the two unions in- volved with the Cuneo Printing com- pany are elated over their action at Saturday's meeting.

Milstein, the present business agent, packed the hall at 180 West Washington street with sluggers, bosses and what not to put over his election. The sluggers were seen all around the hall. Before the meeting began Con- per the bosses could be seen carrying on a lively campaign in the hallway, on the stairs, in front of the building and in the meeting room for the election of Milstein.

The 800 strikers went to the forest preserve in char- tered cars, and in the evening re- turned to Hod Carriers’ Hall, then dispersing to their homes, No arrests of pickets were recorded over the week end.

NEW YORK, Aug. 13.—(FP)—Amer- ican building tradesmen are wonder- ing whether cast iron houses similar to those being erected in Yorkshire, Hngland, will be introduced in the United States, The houses are con- structed, ‘according to report, of cast iron plates at a somewhat less cost than brick houses of the same size. ‘The shells of these houses can be put up in 32 working hours by one skilled worker and four apprentices, the re- port states, Barbers Make First Agreement.

This flattery turned bis head. He had no idea that they: were only “kid- ding” him. The capitalists have thou- sands of men with brains in both par- ties who are better ne serve them in the capacity of, eat just now than the swivel ¢! Per: haps he would make a good fascisti lieutenant, for thetn/‘when the time comes to use a Mussolini. But that time is not just yet. Berry threw his hat in the ring, but it was scarcely noti¢@d.§His publicity manager boasted o usiness abil- ity, told of the nu of industrial enterprises he owned~in Tennessee. How he got the money to establish those enterprises was left a dark secret. Everybody did not read the story of Berry’s court struggle with the Chicago Printing Pressmen’s Lo- cal No. 3, This story—it is a hot one—will be told-in subsequent arti- cles. The “Arkansas Kid.” Berry once had hispicture in the Poljce Gazette, under the title of the “Arkansas Kid,” Perhaps he expected to get the sporting vote with the slo- gan: “From barroom bum to presi- dent.” However, his ability was not equal to his ambition and his race for the presidency was a bigger fizzle than Henry Ford’s effort’ to end the war, when he floated His'tamous peace ship. Ce During his campaign fbf the presi- dency on the democratic‘ ticket, Berry held a meeting in a Chicago theater. “Everybody” was supposed to be there, but when the “‘majah” got on the platform, he could sée nothing in front of him but empty seats except- ing a few of his flunkeys and others who did not have any Other place to go. The meeting was under the aus- pices of the Order of #agles and Ber- ry’s speech was on “Eagledom.” How anybody but a)moron, could talk for over one minute on such a subject is beyond comprehension. Berry is not a moron. If he is, he a@ wise one, He is an eagle, bs pressmen, agree that he is a bird: The meeting proved to Berry that his friends among are pressmen ‘Were few and far between. Heé realized that if he ran for office in Chicagd he would not get ‘enuf votes to light’his pipe with. Got Name Before Convention. Having gotten as far as the Madi- son Square Garden cofivention of the democratic party, Berry at least got his name in the papers,‘and it is now Teported that he consiters it beneath his dignity to be president of an in- ternational union with only about 40,000 members. It is said that what he wants to turn the I. P,’P. and A. U. into is a company union, ‘with a lot of slaves in it that will takd’any dirt the employers feel like giting them, Another scheme of Berry's is to get automatic feeders in général use. He has an investigating committee now working in the east to test the practi- cability of the scheme, Of course Ber- ry’s men will find it workable. Berry called a phony conference in Washington at the Willard hotel, in January, 1925. The automatic prop- osition was presented to them and only the business agent of Franklin Union No, 4 voted against it, This plan if put into force will eliminate 60 per cent of the feeders, and will not put a dime in the pockets of those who remain. Has Personal Interest. It is reported that Berry has # per- sonal interest in those automatic -ma- chines. The chief sales manager for the company that manufactures them is a man named Harry Muss, former trustee in Berry’s Pressmen’s Home in Tennessee. Pressimen’ are of the opinion that Muss and company stand to make over one mijlion dollars on the sale of those machines in Chicago alone. And if Berry suceeeds in mak- ing the pressmen acespt the innova- tion, is not Berry entitled to some of the gravy? That's what the pressmen and feeders are saying, and it sounds Dlausible, « Now that the pressmen and feeders are planning to unite their forces Ber- Ty sees one of his best bets vanisb- ing. Like the capitalist, he thrives on the disunity af the workers. The spread of the amalgamation movement is to him a serious danger and he is doing everything in his power to ‘stop it. He knows that amalgamation will not end with the union of the press- men and feeders but will spread like wildfire over thé country.

LOUIS ENGDAHL. 'ODAY, the “praying miners,” and the “hymn singing” miners of Okmulgee County, Oklahoma, add a new wrinkle to the class struggle in the coal fields of that state. Evidently god, whichever one is worshipped by the Oklahoma coal profiteers, has deserted this breed of “open shoppers” if we are to judge by their actions in ordering their sheriff to use the club of the coal dictatorship to stop the prayers of the coal miners. * * The Oklahoma coal miners, like those of neighboring Kansas, that gave Alex Howat to the left wing in the miners’ union, have always believed in organization, building a strong union as a result. This union has always believed in militant methods. Its delegates have always been in the vanguard at the conventions of the United Mine Workers of America. Evidently the appeal thru “prayer” to the non-union men who were permitting themselves to be used as strike- breakers, was considered to be a good tactic. Wives, sisters and sweethearts of the striking miners would be taken, in the early morning hours, to the edge of the mine properties. Then they would march, singing, to the very mouths of the shafts, singing hymns as the scabs came to work,’and pray- ing for the souls of the men who had taken the places of the strikers. The proceeding seems to have been very effective. Many of the scabs were won * * The strikebreaker is fundamentally conservative. over to the strikers’ cause. * * His slavishness to the interests of the master class of today goes hand in hand with his allegiance to some orthodox church. This condition was revealed in the Scopes trial at Dayton, Tenn., where, wide stretches of non-union mine fields exist side by side with districts that claim almost a 100 per cent church membership. Tennessee is settled in large part by native Americans, who date back their ancestry in this coun- try thru many generations. The state of Oklahoma is different. It was originally settled by pioneers from other states, discontented elements from the large industrial centers, in great part. These pio- neer elements have learned that in fighting, god was always on the side of the greatest numbers. Or was it Napoeon that said god is on the side of the biggest guns. Nevertheless, the Oklahoma miners have their union, and they are using it as a fighting weapon, and the mine owners do not like the way they fight, not even if they exercise their free speech rights under the first article of the bill of rights of the federal constitution. Certainly the makers of the constitution, a century and a half ago, did not vision that this paragraph in the constitution would-be called to the aid of hymn singing and prayer in a coal miners’ dispute. But that is what the Civil Liberties Union is doing on behalf of the coal diggers. , “Throwing fear of god into one,” is a popular expres- sion, that has several interpretations.. The Oklahoma inter- pretation, as it wins non-union men for the union cause, is not to the liking of the bosses. They see the day of the 100 ed cent union, when it will no longer be gecessary to sing ymns to frighten religiously inclined scabs out of their trike- breaking roles. One undred per cent organization means, as in the recently threatened British coal strike, that work- ers will be singing the revolutionary songs of the working class, instead of the hymns that are to be found in church books. The strikebreaker mine workers of toda’ may fear for their souls, as the strikers sing their hymns today, but the mine owners fear for their rights of private property and their capitalist social system, as they already hear the strains of the singing of “The International” and “The Red Flag” of the morrow. The singing miners of Oklahoma will change their tune and become less. agreeable than ever to the mine owners, who even today do not like their singing. also makes the amuging suggestion that every member of the internation- al should also will whatever he has not succeeded in stealing from them to the I. P. P. & A. U. The Arbitration Fraud How Berry is serving the union can be seen from his recent action in re- gard to the demands of Franklin Union. No. 4, which is the feeders local for an increase of wages of $2.00 for day work and $3.00 for night work. Berry showed his loyalty to the bosses again. Franklin Union No. 4 voted five times asking for strike sanction from the international union, since their March meeting. After a delay of eight weeks the International Union advised the Franklin Union scale com- mittee to issue a new scale card to the members and employers stating that on June Ist, 1925 an increase in wages of $2.00 a week for day work and $3.00 for night work would be in force. The subrates for night workers were fixed at $1.30 per hour where shops work less than three nights a week. This scale was to go into effect and employers refusing to pay it would have to get along with- out their pressmen and feeders until such time as they decided to comply with the demands of the union, The local carried out the instruct- ions of the International Union. The new scale cards were issued and the members waited for what might hap- pen on June Ist. Local Refused to Arbitrate. On that date the scale committee reported to Vice President Sam Marks and his lieutenants, Andy Portor and John Clark, at Berry's International scab headquarters, 181 West Wash- ington street. The scale committee was informed that the employers were willing to: arbitrate: and a settlement was possible without having to go thru the unpleasantness of a strike, A meeting was held with the employes, They offered the feeders to arbitrate. The scale committee turned down the proposition, knowing that arbitration always favors the employers, The employers thgn turned to Berry, who agreed on thé entire arbitration mands would be arbitrated. The Frank- lin Union was denied the right to hold a meeting as to whether or not they wanted to arbitrate. They were ordered by Berry to remain at work or their places would be. filled by Inter- national scabs. : On June 22nd the arbiter, Mr. Schick, rendered a decision of $1.75 for day work and $3 for night work and the elimination of the sub scale, which means a reduction of 10% cents an hour. The pressmen, without any aid from Berry, received on Aprjl 10th an increase of $2 for day work and $4 for night work. 5 There was no retroactive clause in the Berry arbitration plan agreement. This caused a loss of $50,000 to the members of Franklin Union, The members of Franklin Union No. 4 have paid into Berry’s Interna- tional scabherder’s headquarters over $125,000 in the past three and a half years. This joint is located at 181 West Washington street, a tew doors away from where Tom Rickert of the United Garment Workers maintains his scab nest. Berry has a small army of poison spreaders in Chicago who go about trying to ‘create bad feeling between the pressmen and the feeders, hoping that he would thus be able to play off one union against the other. The pressmen and feeders are now taking steps to block Berry’s game, by amal- gamating the two locals. This will enable the members not only, to fight Berry, but it will also give them great- er power in fighting the bosses, Boston Barbers’ Agreement.

WRIGHT, (President Honolulu Labor Council) HONOLULU, Mawaii, Aug. 6.—(By Mail.) —The Crouch case is being ap- pealed from the local federal district court to the Ninth Circuit Court. of Appeals in California. The Honolulu judge, William A. Rawlins, refused. to intervene, declaring that the civil court had no jurisdiction. This was on the showing of the army counsel that the court martial was correctly constituted, properly convened, and was duly authorized to try the case. The authorities cited by Attorney Patterson, counsel for Crouch, show- ing that there could be no jurisdiction over acts not in themselves crimes or offenses agathst the laws of the Unit- ed States, were ignored by the judge, who, however, refused to make his opinion, delivered verbally, a matter of permanent record. The drafting of the papers in the appeal of the case has been completed and it will go to San Francisco for review by the Cati- fornia Federal Court. Will Refuse Clemency, Walter Trumbull withdrew his peti. tion from the local court when it be- came evident that an appeal would be hecessary, in order to take up the fight on a new application for writ of habeas corpus in the California court after his arrival at Alcatraz. The two prisoners, interviewed to- day, declared that they did not intend to ask for clemency from the war de- partment or from the president, and would probably refuse clemency if it were offered. They insist that the issue is clearly defined and must be fought thru to a finish to determine the rights and the status of members of the Workers (Communist) Party. They say they do not mind the delay, and are willing to serve as long an may be necessary in order that the civil courts may decide the question. They point out that they have been convicted solély because of their sup- port of Communism and in violation of their rights under the constitution, and that it is a question of whether or not the arbitrary opinion of army officials shall supersede the highest law of the land. Officers Stole Mail. Both Crouch and Trumbull complain pt the autocratic conduct of the local army officers in withholding letters addressed to them for weeks at a time, and in forbidding them access to literature and reading matter that is permitted by the army regulations. They cite instances where books writ- ten by Americans and published by Americans have been confiscated by the officers thru whose hands they pass. They are not allowed to see visitors, and are only permitted to consult with their legal advisers in the presence of a sentry. They do not complain of physical ill-treatment, and both boys are now in fair health. They will be placed on board the U. 8. 5. Cambrai, and will be taken to Alcatraz disciplinary barracks, in San-Francisco bay, to serve out their sentences. They express their thanks ¢o their comrades who have been active in their behalf, and their appreciation of the sympathy and kindness which has been shown toward them by ~omrades all over the United States. They are grateful for tlie assistance given by the American Civil Liberties Union, the International Labor Defense, and by the little group of friends in Ha- waii, To all they send the Hawatian greeting, “Aloha.” * Kansas City to Hear Dolsen Speak Tuesday ae rar on Chinese Policies KANSAS CITY, Mo.
