Body Blow at Union. In one word it is—as was expected by all intelligent workers, an approval of a 10 per cent cut—a body blow at the union and a support of’ the bar- barous and murderous thuggery of “Bloody Besco,” as the British Em- pire Steel corporation is known, True, the commission’s ‘decision is , such as to veil over with some slight “ censure of Besco the commission’s clear support of the interests of cap- ital against the interests of the starv- ing hovel-housed miners whose’ misery and unemployment only a’ couple of days before the decision was given had driven them to mass seistite and confiscation of food stores in.the mining camps. But thé class nature pf the decision cannot be concealed, especially the blow at the U. M. W. of A. The ten per cent wage reduction was “fully justified,” says, the com- mission, and while the ,company is recommended to “frankly, accept” the U. M. W. as representing the miners, the check-off is to be abolished. The royal commission, as royal commis- sions are prone to do, went at some length into the “distributing factor” of Communist ideas and work in the union which interfered with “har- AS GEN. SEC’Y Cleveland Local in Cir- cular Letter CLEVELAND, Ohio, Jan. 18— The Cleveland local of the Journeymen Tailors’ Union have again led the pro- gressives into a battle, with the re- actionary Sweeney machine by stand- ing solidly behind the oné otitstand- ing figure for progressive: measures—. Max J, Sillinsky. In a letter to other locals and,members over the signa- ture of President Polanka and Secre- tary Fred C. Sass, the, local says: All Behind Sillinsky, “Dear Sirs and Brotlers:— The nominations for general secretary are out. We are all lined up with the progressive elements of our organiza- tion behind our candidate;'Max J.

A dictator-manager ap- pointed with full power to act. A triumvirate of general executive board members, consisting of Sam Rissman, Chicago, inaugurator of terrorism; August Ballaneu, the man who flirts with revolutionary phraseology, and Blumberg, the New York politician, to assist Beckerman, the dictator-man- ager, to bring about unity and peace in the New York organization, Aid Craft Autonomy. The G. E. B. has not seen fit to unite the cutters with the tailers under one joint board, again permitting the cut- ters to enjoy full autonomy at the ex- pense of the tailors. Disregarding completely the painful experience that the N. Y. organization went thru in the past few years, outters cutting garments when tailors are on strike permitting the manufacturers to make ‘up these garments in open shops. This concession to the cutters’ of- ficials by the Hillman administration is a betrayal of the workers. It was done for political purposes to permit full autonomy to the cutters and to appoint Beckerman, a business agent of the cutters’ organization, as man- ager, to get control of the key local of New York by the Hillman forces, and to use it as a club against the rest of the workers. Beckerman’s concep- tion of putting the New York market into shape is: 1) Back to piece work; 2) autonomy for the cutters; 3) ex- pulsion of militant workers; 4) col- Opposition Outlawed. But this local happened not to agree with the New York officialdom on the question pertaining to the manner in which the joint board officials dealt with the employers. That made the local an oftlaw in the eyes of the na- tional administration, and those work- ers who sided with Local 6 were sus- pended from the organization, The G. E. B. in upholding the sus- pensions, has gone squarely on record that no difference of opinion will be tolerated in the A. C. W. + Overestimating Power of Money. The G. E, B. at the same session, discussing «the International strike and lesson learned from this struggle, point out to the membership that all the sacrifices ‘made by those involved in the strike, and all the fine leader- ship in the strike would not have suc- ceeded in” the battle for the Amalgamated, had it not “been for huge resources of funds, that no bat- tle with the employers could ever be won unless the organization is finan- cially prepared. It is not the purpose of the writer to discuss in these lines the “victory” achieved after the 19 weeks of hard struggle and, expenditure of $600,000. But is well to remember that this strike was mot won by this huge ex- penditure ajone, that it was the solidi- fied frcaot the membership, the militancy ahd determination of the strikers, the "mass picketing in New to either break his fighting spirit or get him out of the shop altogether. At first, the examiner gets an or- der to watch that brother's work more closely—and give him back work to fix under any pretense. If they don’t succeed to break his spirit this way, they start to give him complaints for bad work. Rubbing It In! If a worker stiches a few hundred vests a day, or tapes a few hundred coats a day, the foreman can easily find something wrong in one garment so that he can have a pretense to sus- pend and discharge that worker. Here is an example that happened in the pants shop. A worker that has worked for many years in that shop, was several times shop chairman and in general had an influence in that shop, made a minor damage on a pair of pants, a thing that happens very often with any operator handling hun- dreds of pants daily. But since this worker happens to be a “rebel,” the foreman took ad- vantage of the opportunity and dis- charged the said brother. After a week's effort by the business agent to Place. this brother back to work, he aas succeeded to put him back to work “under probation,” and here is the lecture that the manager gave that brother: This Shop Needs a Strike! “It is not a question of a damage or bad work, but rather the idea that average applies to machine hands and operators. : But How About Living Costs? Screw machine operators show the greatest gain in the 2-year period with increases of 7.9 cents an hour and $3.48 a week. These mean gains of about 14 per cent in hourly earnings and 12 per cent in weekly wages. The average full-time week of this occupa- tion has ben shortened nearly an hour, Assemblers, drill press, grinding ma- chine and milling machine operators also show gains above the average. A table comparing the wages of four selected occupations by states shows the highest machine shop wages in California. Fitters and bench hands in, that state average 79.3 cents an hour and $36.08 a week compared with 64.3 cents and $32.02 for the country. Maine pays the lowest wages to this) occupation with 49.7 cents an hour and $22.61 a week. California Above Average. Engine lather operators average 80.7 cents an hour and $37.61 a week in California compared with 66.3 cents and $35.55 for the country. Here Georgia is lowest with 49.6 cents an hour and $25.99 a week. In California shop laborers average 54.8 cents and $25.32 comparing with averages of 45.6 cents and $23.07 thruout the country. Toolmakers get the highest pay in Oregon and the lowest in Maine. In work day is from 9 to 10 hours. Most carpenter work is done by open shop contractors, Membership Falls Off. The membership in local unions has been falling off. In spite of these facts, the left wingers were warned by the old guard against any attempts which would tend to destroy the “har- mony and friendly feelings” which they were now enjoying. Education is out of the question for wage earners, as it costs too much to attend eol- leges, as was expressed by National Officer Cosgrove. Every proposed change in form of organization was fought. Recommend- ations were made that an agitation for increase in wages be started immedi- ately. Party politics was excluded, tho Wm. Mahoney of St. Paul upged the delegates, at a banquet held in the Ryan Hotel, that we must uae our"! e Political power, instead of vesting it in the hands of bankers and middle ¢lass politicians to control our politi- eal destiny, Mahoney also stated that’ there is something rotten in the labor Movement, but he did not propose any Program to remedy this situation, Only Talk of Unemployment. Unemployment was touched upon by one of the delegates, the causes underlying it and the workers’ condi- tions generally, Due to the industrial development in this country, more and more workers are forced into ‘the Tanks of the unemployed.
