They are now working forty- six and a half hours per week. All indications point to a decisive victory for the strikers. So far, the bosses have made no attempt to hire scab labor. The strikers, together with the committee from the Amal- gamated Clothing Workers have secur- ed the assurance of the cap makers in the shop, who are organized, that they will support the workers in their demands, and will resist any attempts of the bosses to bring in scab labor.

May 28.— The strike of the Raritan Copper Com- pany workers 1,300 strong was nearly producing another strike in the plant of the American Smelting and Refin- ing Company when the latter com- pany granted a 6-cent an hour raise raise to its 2,500 employes. The man- agement felt that discontent with the prevailing low wages was leading to a strike and. gave the 5-cent raise to forestall a strike, The workers, it is true, were on the edge of striking and joining their fel- low-workers of the Raritan works. The Perth Amboy News carried an article stating that George Pearlman, whe was handling the Raritan strike, threatened to pull out the workers of the American Smelting and Refining Company. The men at the latter plant were glad to hear it, and strike talk was all over the plant. The management of the company headed off the movement by granting the small raise of 5 cents an hour. It was later learned that a strike com- mittee was in process of formation. The copper workers of the city are in need of an organization and when Pearlman spoke of this need he was unanimously applauded by the work- ers, MINNEAPOLIS WORKERS FIGHT WAGE SLASHES United Garment Shop Is on Strike By a Worker Correspondent. MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., May 26—The workers of the United Garment Man- ufacturing company have gone on strike, which came following qn at- tempt of the bosses to cut wages of the operators, who were working on a piecework basis. The Amalgamated Clothing Work- ers’ Union immediately began to or- ganize this shop, They first called out the operators, who responded to the union call 100 per cent strong. When the hour to strike came not only the operators but the entire shop walked out. Not. @ single worker remained in the shop. The victory of the strike of this shop depends largely on the workers in the other shops. If they will join the strikers of the United Garment Manufacturing company the strikers will win and a strong union will re- sult from the present conflict.

THE DATLY WORKER ~~ se >a PERTH ANBOY UNORGANIZED DEMAND UNION Strikers Cheer Talk of Organizer (Special to The Dally Worker) PERTH AMBOY, N., J., May 28, — This city Is beginning to take on the character of a.general strike as work- ers In more factories are joining in the strike movement. The strike move- ment Is spreading rapidly. These are unorganized Workers, but they are enthusiastically demanding that they be organized ii labor unions, The following plants have joined the strike: The Atlantic Terra Cotta works, 400 workers; the New Jersey Terra Cotta, 400 workers; the Bayuk Cigar company; 850 workers; the Gen- eral Cigar company, 500 workers. The workers/in all these plants have elected their shop committees and made demands upon the management. They all want'@ ten cent an hour in- crease in wages, © The workers at the Fords Porcelain works returned to work after accept- ing an increase of five cents and hour. The strike movement began about two weeks ago. So far 15,000 workers have won increases and returned to their jobs after getting from $2.50 to $6.00 a week added to their pay by showing a little spunk dnd sticking together. The National Fireproofing company’s plant is still tied up. George Pearlman, labor organizer, is handling the situation and daily meet- ings of strikers are taking place. The crowds of strikers cheer wildly when told that plans are being made to or- ganize them in labor unions and unite them utimately with the rest of the organized labor.

Chicago Plasterers Turn Down Ultimatum The Chicago Pinsterers’ Local No. 5, made short work of the ultimatum bluff of the Employing Plasterers’ As- sociation that the union call off the strike and then talk about the wage scale afterward. The local plasterers feel in no mood to -surrender to bosses on any such terms, which include arbitration after the men go.back to work with no wage scale to be discussed until all the men are back’ at work at the old scale. It was felt that this is but a transparent maneuver by the bosses to inculcate in trade unionists the idea that striking does no good. As the contractors cannot get the work done, however, unless they eign up as have 175 employers, the union plasterers turned down the ultimatum as a matter of course, devoting more time to the local union election than to worrying about the bosses. It is stated that only 400 men are left on strike, the rest having gone back for those contractors who have sighed up. Fifteen candidates are nominated for the four positions as business agent, and one nominee will run against Ed- ward O'Rourke, the present president. >See OUT OF WORK?
