AGENDA Farriers’ Greetings Urge Unity of Industry By JACK JOHNSTONE. (Special to The Daily Worker) MONTREAL, May 11.—An amaiga- mation resolution containing concrete Proposals for uniting the various unions in the needle trades industry has been introduced here sponsored by some thirty left wing delegates. The resolution asks that a rank and file amalgamation convention be heiu within six months to be preceded by ® preliminary conference called by the A. C. W. executive board which shall include all needle trades union execu- tives, It is believed that the main struggle in the convention will center around this resolution. Yesterday’s morning session was spent .in reading greetings, seating delegates and the appointment of com- mittes, 216 delegates were ‘seated by the regular procedure and-forty New York delegates seated by special ac- tion owing to their local dues payment not having been made at the proper time. Representation at the last conven- tion was taken as the basis and the following locals allowed extra oe gates: .* Bs Local 2, eight delegates; Local 3, five delegates; Local 4, seven dele- gates; Local 5, seven delegates; ‘Local 10, eight delegates; Local 19, five dele- gates. Among the telegraphic greetings was one from Ben Gold in the nanie ot 12,000 striking fur workers urging the convention to give life to the.amal- fsamation movement by taking decisive Steps to form an industrial union, in the needle industry and one from Alfred Wagenknecht thanking the, Amaglamated for its assistance to the Passaic strikers and urging that this assistance be increased. The speech of Shiplacoff was an at- tack on the left wing. He referred to lt a8 a “fungus growth” and urged the convention to throw it off. Amdur, representing the Interna- tional Ladies’ Garment Workers exec- utive board, also attacked the left ‘wing and congratulated the convention “on your defeat of these internal ene- mies.” Organizing Against Left Wing.

This will further extend the paralysis of the country caused by the strike and will add at least 300,000 workers to the ranks of the strikers and throw as may more out of work because of the stoppage of a large section of British industry. Disturbing reports of anti-American feeling in Chile also reached the capital. GENERAL STRIKE GIVES LIFE 10 SCARBOROUGH Resclution for Colonial Liberation By WILLIAM F. DUNNE.

Use of Electricity. There is a possibility also of more electrical workers coming out since the general council of the Trade Union Congress has is- sued an order that henseforth permits for the use of electric power can be issued only thru the medium of the council. This means that the council dominates the situation in so far as power in the large centers is concerned. Special Cabinet Meeting Takes Up “Second Line” Strike Order. A special meeting of the cabinet was called today to consid- er the new situation created by the Council’s order calling out the second line of defense. The council’s policy is gradually to apply increasing press- ure by the calling out of more men every time the government takes steps towards more agegrssive action against the strikers. There is still a “third line” of defense not yet called upon by the trade ahion Tedders* “th® sanitary employes, rood wo and general workers, who may follow the “second line” to the front in the next few days, unless some agreement is reached.
