COURT CLARION, Pa., Nov. 30—In the most sweeping Injunction ever granted by a court in this state of- ficers and members of local unions No. 1805, 1859 and 2342, United Mine Workers of America, are enjoined from interfering with the operations of the Acme Gas Coal company. The plaintiff's bill of complaint states that the defendants have combined to coerce and intimidate officers and men in its employ. The Acme com- pany is operating its mines on a scale of wages in violation of the Jacksonville agreement. . And these are the courts to which Coolidge suggested the union apply for “redress of grievances” if the contract was brokén, Coolidge Interentsa 2 in Cutting Our Wage WASHINGTON, Nov. 30-—(FP)— Business lobbyists in the capital are informed that President Coolidge is much interested in the program adopt- ed by New England business interests in conference at Worcester, Mass., Noy. 17 and 18, at which it was de- cided that wages must come down and hours of labor must be increased. No representatives of organized la- bor were present at the conference. It was summoned to discuss the prob- lem of “putting New England on its feet.” With much enthusiasm the business spokesmen agreed to organize permanent committees to “carry on.” Federal department had been invited to send representatives to advise on ways and means, but they were not needed.

EVER, ‘since the Boxer’ uprising, has China been to such ai extent, the‘ center of political attention of the entire world as during the last three months. London and New! ‘York, Tokio and Moscow, have béen watch- ing with a close eye the developments in Shanghai and Hongkong,’ have been listening hard to the boomiftig of can- non in Chitia, : Only important wars attract so nuch public interest. Yet is it a mere trike of some 300,000 workers (200,- 00 in Shanghai, and 120,000 in Hong- cong) that is responsible for it now. Why then do the headlines of the world’s, press cling 60 mntly to he events in Shanghal? Why such a| croubled air among the honorables of che lower house and the noble lords of the upper house, who have devoted more than one sitting ofeparliament and committee meetings to the Shang- hai strike? Why this overwhelming interest, these passionate sympathies for the Shanghai workers on the part of the workers and peasants of the U. S. 8. R. and of the entire world proletariat? HE answer lies not only in that China for the last few years has become a most important junction in which the fundamental problems of international politics collide and cross, This is not new. New is the fact that the. Chinese m: have be- “ome a nation, acting as a unit, as a gle body thruout the breadth and agth of that vast country. » New is the fact that the | not the of in- Ves! GERMAN VISITORS GUESTS OF HOOCH BREWERS OF N, Y. Hospitality of A. F. of L. Warms Tarnow NEW YORK CITY, Nov. 30—The ‘German labor delegation which visited the Atlantic City convention of the American Federation of Labor and toured the country to learn all the kinks of the American labor fakers in becoming) business men, bankers and to learn how to put the “B. & O. plan” of class collaboration over on the German workers, has sailed for Ger- many after a thoro study of the city of New York. Needed a Boat. The Germans were given a cruise around the port of New York on the city's own yacht, the Macom, and were banqueted and feted by the Central Trades and Labor Council. Having spent considerable time learn- ing how to put across what might be called the “Dawes Plan for the Work- ing Class”—the collaborationist “B & O. Plan,” the Germans were diverted by a trip thru the city’s shady cir- cles and illegal haunts of rum-rings. The A. F. of L, “news” service, always amusing if not informative, gives the following account of the German's “slumming” expedition: “Among their most interesting ex- periences was an inspection of the functioning of the prohibition enforce- ment law. They visited underground ‘speak-easies’, saw distilleries of hooch and cellars where high power beer was brewed.” Was Fritz Joking? Continuing the account our amiable compatriots of the A. F. of L, bureau- cracy glides smoothly into quotations from Fritz Tarnow, head of the Ger- man delegation; and we must say that either Fritz Tarnow spoke sardon- ically or was using a frankness com- prehensible only after a tour of dis- tilleries under guidance by A. F, of L. bureaucrats when Fritz got out the following: “We have experienced the generous hospitality of the American labor movement. We visited the headquar- ters of all the important unions and witnessed the delegates of the A. F. of L. at work in Atlantic city. We know the spirit of the American work- ers and the source of their economic strength.” Inspired by this tribute to their powers, the A. F. of L, “news” article goes on to say that the Germans were amazed to sée the “damage” Com- munism has wrought to the German organizations in America, “finishing”, they say, “what*prohibition began.” With this lugubrious note the Ger- mans were given a fond farewell and sailed away with a “B. & O, plan” for German workers to the land .of tall beers and Barmats. Soldiers’ Union of Austria Refused to Scab on Strikers VIENNA—(FP)—Doctors as well as soldiers are included in the trade union field in Austria. When a gener- al strike of state employes was threat- ened recently, the soldiers union de- clared its solidarity in case of a strike and announced that it would refuse to do any scab work. Now the hospital doctors union is announcing that it will call a strike if the government puts through the working rules it has in view. telligentzia, the student body as has been the case in the past five years, but the working class. And new is the fact that the workers’ strike has become the backbone of the entire nationalist emancipation movement, the fact that the supremacy of the proletariat in this movement has been recognized by the entire nation. Social and Ideological Forces. HE national movement in China originated at the end of the past century, Its initiators in China, as elsewhere, were the intelligentzia, the students, teachers, a section of the professors, journalists and some of the emigrant Chinese commercialists, who rallied around the Kuomintang Party, or to be more precise, around Sun-Yat-Sen, its leader. In 1915, in connection with the Japanese 21 de- mands, and in 1919, as a result of the treaty of Versailles, which so thoroly disappointed the Chinese nationalists, who found themselves deceived and betrayed by their own “allies” the nationalist movement received a new powerful impulse. For some months the Chinese public was in*a state of uproar and high agitation, The Japanese ministers were forced to resign; the boycott of @ goods reduced China-Japan- ie trade by 40%. But the leadership of the movement, the acting on political stage, the cries of protest the public meetings, the slogans in the all came from the student The voice of the worker was yet silent.

Most of its activities has been organizing the workers in the Pacific mill of which there are now nearly 650, all paying their weekly dues of 10c, col- lected in the mill. Every one of these workers were unorganized. The loomfixers of the American Federation of Textile Operatives’ are cooperating ‘with the United Front Commitee beimg affiliated by sending delegates. The Franco-Belgians are continuing thére active support. The Andover textfle workers who were recently on ‘strike at Smith and Doves are holding their own.

LABOR DISPUTES START T0 BREAK FAITH IN DAWES Wonderful “Plan” Is Found to Be N. G. BERLIN—(FP)—Lockouts, strikes and dismissals are the order of the day in Germany's important indus- tries. Théy are the result of a rise in the of living and the united resistance of the employers to a cor- responding raise in wages. The sit- uation is in nearly every case forced by the employers. who take advan- tage of some small local dispute to declare a general lockout. The chem- ical, glass, textile and metal indus- tries are cbiéfly affected, but trouble is also threatening in the coal indus- try and on ‘the railroads, where the employers are showing hostility to the modest demands of the workers. About 150,000 workers are involved in the is disputes. In the tex- tile industry, 30,000 workers are lock- ed out in North Bavaria and Hanover, and 16,000 in lower Saxony. 35,000 chemical wdikers are involved in lockouts in Rhine-Main area and 26, Varia. 25,000 glass work- Fetes out ér 8 le for the 8-hour day, and metal workers in dif- ferent districts have been walking off the job after eight hours work. The reply of the @mployers has been lock- outs and wholesale dismissals. In North Bavaria an arbitration award grantifig a 54-hour week to tex- tile workers; 60% of whom are wom- en, and a sniall increase on overtime rates was accepted by the union but rejected by the employers who there- upon locked’ out 24,000 workers. In North Bavaria a 25-year-old textile worker earns less than 12c an hour— about $7 a week. Women and young- er workers earn even less. On the railroads, which have been turned over to private hands under the Daweseplan, the employers are ‘attempting to play off one district against another, but negotiations are now under way among the workers for a national series of demands to cover all grades, The 8-hour day has for some time been abolished on the ‘raliroads, as well as in the mining and many other industries. Y WORKER. BRITISH UNIONS’ AMALGAMATION BUILDS POWER Get Single Union with! Million Members LONDON—(FP)—A_ single union with over 1,000,000 members from many different trades and industries is forecast by Ernest Bevin, secre- tary Transport & General Workers union, when amalgamations now pro- ceeding or under discussion take ef- fect. Such a union would result from the amalgamation of the National Union of General & Municipal work- ers and the Workers’ Union with Bevin's union, Following on the decision of the National Union of Enginemen, Fire- men, Mechanic & Electrical workers to amalgamate, a possible amalgam~- ation of the Electrical Trades union with Bevin’s is under discussion by the two executives. Further ama gamations seem to be in the air, The Industrial Alliance, of whose provis- ional committee Bevin is also the sec- retary, has experienced a setback in the withdrawal of the National Union of Railwaymen but is ready to be definitely launched early next year. The final draft of the alliance con- stitution has been approved by the executives of the unions concerned, with the exception of the National Union of Railwaymen, and the alli- atice will be launched as soon as the draft has been submitted to the mem- bership and the changes necessary in the constitutions of the individual unions have been made, i The reason for the withdrawal of the .N. U. R. is that its proposed amendments have been rejected. The chief of these was that unions in the same industry should prepare schemes for fusion, and where this is not practicable hold periodical meet- ings to secure a united policy. The N. U. R., which is an approach to an industrial union, wished to give the alliance a definitely industrial union- ist basis, while the other unions have decided that unity on the whole indus- trial field is a more immediate neces- sity than unity by industry. The organization of factory and general workers, a field which is practically untouched in America. has brought new problems in Europe. The great bulk of the organized workers are not craftsmen, and industrial un- jionism has long been a guiding prin- ciple and the issue now is industrial unionism or one-big-unionism. The factory ‘and general workers have not been organized by industrial unions but by big general workers unions— in England the National Union of Transport & General workers, and the Workers’ Union, operating on the one big union principle and organizing any and every worker regardless of.craft or industry, This has led to overlapping, and or- ganizational rivalries found expres- sion at the Scarborough congress when the General Workers’ Union cal- led for one big union, declaring that industrial unionism was not enough, while some industrial unionists op- posed, considering that the embryo 0.B.U.s (the General Workers’ Union) Page Three Detroit Union Joins Support of Struggle for Chinese Freedom DETROIT, Mich. Nov. 30.—The voice raised by the Detroit local of the Patternmakers Union in defense of their fellow workers in China, clearly | demonstrates that the vision of the workers is broadening and embracing ) other races and nationalities, despite ‘the traditional short-sightedness of the officialdom of the American Fed- ration of Labor, who can see no further than their own shores. The resolution on China follows: | “Be it resolved that we do hereby Pledge our support to the Chinese people and the workers in particular, and be it further resolved that we approve of the fight for freedom against wage slavery and domination by foreign powers.” This union is not the only one that | has passed this resolution of solidari-| ty. The Chinese are battling against terrible odds to free themselves, and unions in Philadelphia, New York, Chicago, Detroit, St, Paul and many other cities have, passed similar reso- lutions and have contributed to the maintenance of food stations in the affected areas of China by the Inter- national Workers Aid. HINDU TEXTILE STRIKE AIDED BY RED UNIONS British Workers Join in Assistance LONDON—(FP)—An urgent appeal for funds to help the Hindu textile strikers has been issued by the British Trades Union congress, which has al- ready sent $1,500 on its own behalf. These 153,000 Bombay strikers, facing a cut of 11%% in wages which range from $2 to $3 a week, are dependent on the solidarity of their fellow work- ers in other countries. Apart alto- gether from humanitarian reasons, European textile workers know that they must help the Hindu textile workers if they are to safeguard their own standards, for the competition of sweated Asiatic labor has already hit them. The largest contribution from European labor has been that of the Russian textile union which sent $5,000. The strike began Sept. 15 with the walkout of 13,000 workers and spread rapidly and now 153,000 are involved. The last telegram from India states “the workers are feeling the pinch of | starvation.” Many have been evicted from the’ chawls (tefiements ‘rented from the millowners) and thousands of them are still waiting for wages due as far back as August. A big migration from the city back to the land is reported from Bombay, and 50% of the strikers are reported to have left, most of them former peas- ants. ! A trade union delegation elected by the jute and flax workers of Dundee, Scotland, has gone to India to in- vestigate. The Dundee workers are especially hit by the competition from the sweated labor of India, SHOULD OPPOSE TOBIN WITHIN HIS OWN UNION Must Unite Withdrawn Locals for Re-Entry By A Worker Correspondent CLEVELAND, Ohio, Nov. 30.—It is regrettable that progressives, working to build up an organization and hav- ing honest intention in regard to trade union work, find no way out of the corruption that the reactionary machine spreads in the’ organization, but to withdraw from the organize: tion. It is regrettable, for the ultimate aim of all trade unionists must be to have a unified movement with a single aim: to fight against the employers and to break the power of the em- ployers. The situation in the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, Chauffeurs, Stablemen and Helpers has driven the biggest locals out of the organiza tion. The Cleveland locals are not alone in their secession from the brotherhood. The big locals in New York and other large cities are outside the brotherhood—and all of them are determined not to affiliate again with the brotherhood. They are determined that the dues and other increment of the brotherhood shall be used! for building up and not destroying the organization. Should Not Be Isolated, These locals outside the brothere hood, should not be left in their pres. ent state. That is to say, they should not be isolated locals carrying on their work individually. They must coordinate their work, so as to add strength to the local organizations, This can best be achieved by an effort being made to bring these locals to- gether in some form. A conference of delegates of these locals should be held at which united action should be decided on. The purpose of the confereneé should be to coordinate the activiti of the locals outside the brotherho to build them up, and to formul: plans whereby as a united group thi may return to the brotherhood take control of it. Dan Tobin can brag about his ganization and he can slander thi locals, without the teamsters, chat feurs etc. outside the local organ! ization learning anything about it. the various locals thruout the count should unite their efforts not only toy build up their locals, to gain stren; by united action, but also to organize}, the many trades that still are outside their scope, a new organizational force would result that would compel Tobi; to come to terms. To Build the Union. He no longer will be the all-power- ful czar of the craft, but will be forced to get off his throne and yield to the © pressure of the rank and file for a united organization embracing all the men thruout the country in the trade, New leadership will result, fighting for the interests of the workers, not _ selling them out and questionable activities that carrying on | receive © the support and approval of the re actionary machine, poach on industrial union preserves.

Put a WORKER in your pocket when you go to your union meeting. was proceeding apace. Side by side with the foreign in- dustries andsiwith the old Chinese trading, gabetween (comprador) bourgeoisie, there appeared a new industrial Chinese bourgeoisie. The industrial centers, Shanghai, Tien-Tsin, Hankow, Changsha, Tzintao etc., have Tapidly growing; with- in them si lly grew large compact masses of the newly risen working class. Soon this working class began to display its;activity by a series of strikes. rik ‘UCH hasbeen written recently of the terrible conditions of labor in Ghina. Men, women and children aliké work 12 to 16 hours per day; the wages received by them are miserable. Cheap docile labor made China into a “paradise for employers” to quote the report of the British council at China, recently published in the Brit- ish “Blue Book,” But this capitalist paradise is a veritable hell for the workers. No wonder then that under the influence of the general rise of the Hast after the war, under the influence of the November Russian revolution and of their own national movement, a spon- taneous inovement for better condi- tions has developed among the Chinese workers, taking the forms of a widespread strike struggle. Class Differentiation of the Movement. RING the first period covering about 2% years—from the be- ginning of 1920 to the latter half of 1922—the labor movement, still large- ly spontaneoys, met with practically no serious gpposition, The strikes were limited ly to the foreign industries, id the Chinese publig, “ot the striking Fallwaymen on the opinion, moulded, as it was, not only by Ahe influential studentry, but also by the new Chinese industrial bour- geoisie, maintained, on the whole, a position of friendly neutrality towards the labor movement, This was quite natural, since in detending their economic interests against the foreign capitalists the workers were indirectly strengthening the position of the native industry, thus also objectively fighting the im- perialists and gaining the sympathies of the nationalist intelligentaia and more particularly of the students, No wonder, therefore, that the strike of the Hongkong seamen in the spring of 1922 not only met with a sympa- thetic response thruout the country, but even received material assistance from the southern bourgeoisie, In this atmosphere of general support the strikes of that period resulted, in their majority, in complete or partial success. Howeved. already towards the end of 1922, a change was marked. The strike movement, in its expan- sion, swung over to Chinese establish- ments as well. A change of front im- mediately took place among the Chi- nese industrialists who took up an openly hostile attitude towards the workers’ movement. This change was already felt during the strike of the Tan-Shang miners in October 1922. For the first time in the history of China not only the police but the army as well were used against the strikers on that occasion. There were casualties, in dead and wounded, and the strike was put down by force. Even more cruel was the treatment copy of the DAILY] Workers’ Union, is coming to Chicago early in December, What attitude will he take toward the present scab condition of the majority of hotel] workers and toward By L.

Equally alarmed by the growth of organization among the railway workers, the foreign and native capitalists, together with the Chinese militari: joined in a united front against labor. The strike was drowned in the blood of the workers by the military dictator of China, Wu- Pei-Fu. Fags defeat of the railwaymen served ~ as a signal for a general offensive on the part of all the combined forces of the reaction against labor. Not on ly were the recently organized trade unions dissolved, their premises seal- ed and the leaders arrested, but even the co-operatives, the schools and the clubs were everywhere closed... Ali over China (with the exception of Canton) the labor unions were driven underground and only in_ isolated places were there allowed to exist some semi-legal workers’ organiza- tions. Things continued practically un- changed until the latter part of 1924. For about a year and a half quiet reigned in the labor movement of China. The Pacific conference of transport workers, convened in Can- ton in June 1924, marked the end of this period. The Shameen strike (Canton) which flared up in July and which, like the 1922 Hong-Kong strike, Was directed against the foreign cap- italists, again demonstrated to all China the significance of the labor movement to the nationatist emanci- pation movement, (Tomorrow's article will tell of the revival of China's labor movement in 1924) age of whatever efforts the Chicago federation for its sabot- have been made to organize the unorganized? This is what local progressive mem- bers of the waiters’ union are anw ious to find out. Built by Building Unions. Altho most of the Chicago hotels were built by union labor and althe the building trades council had juris diction over the construction of five huge new hotels within the past few months, the Sovereign, Beldon, Coop er-Carlton, Sisson and Belmont, nevertheless, not.one of “union-made” structures employs any- thing but scab help in the dining rooms.
