IMPERIALISTS OF PACIFIC TO CLASH IN HAWAIL SOON Close on the heels of the Pacific| Labor Conference, which adjourned | recently in Hankow after fruitful ses- | sions, came the announcement yester- | day that the Institute of Pacific Re- | lations will hold its second meeting in Honolulu on July 15-29. | Close to 150 delegates from the| United States, Japan, China, the| Philippines, Australia, Great Britain, | Canada, the Dutch East Indies, New Zealand and the Pacific Islands are expected. University presidents, pub- licists, bankers, industrialists, capi- | talists and religious and educational leaders constitute the bulk of the) delegates. | Paul Scharrenberg, secretary of the | California Federation of Labor and a} bitter foe of Japanese immigration, | and Leo Wolman, of the Amalga-| mated Clothing Workers’ research de- | partment, are the only two delegates | comnected with the labor movement. | Heads of the big pineapple, sugar , and shipping firms concerned in the) exploitation of Hawaii, and New York financiers are named among the pros- | pective delegates. President Ray L; man Wilbur of Stanford University, California, will preside. Although the purpose of the con- vention is to smooth the rivalries of contending imperialist groups about the Pacific, little progress has been made in settling the Japanese-Ameri- can controversy over immigration, At the last conference, in 1925, hos? tilities broke out between representa- tives of the two groups on this issue, and may be renewed at the coming! conference. Plumbers Helpers Are Beaten Up by Police (Continued from Page One) up to the workers and told them “to get out of here.” ‘i In a chorus they answered that they were “going to picket ,peace- fully.” This answer did not please Martin who hit Murray Singer, a picket, a hard blow. on the left ear. He then followed that by hitting sev- eral other workers.: The line retreated several feet and reformed their ranks, being joined by several dozen more workers who. had just reached the} scene. Boss Runs for Help. Joseph W. Pollack, in charge of the} contracting, ran up to Sergeant Coo- gan and complained that the pickets were walking on private property. Coogan then stepped forward and with the ‘help of Patrolman Martin placéd five of the workers under ar- rest. ~ As soon as the police left with the five prisoners, the pickets. again} formed in line and marched before the building for half an hour with- out any interference. As soon as they left, two other policemen appeared, | but too late to arrest any workers. | When brought to the-5ist Street | Station House, Lieut. Rigney, at the desk, refused to allow any reporters present when the ‘names ‘of the five prisoners were being eritered in the blotter. He curtly told the represen- | tative of The DAILY WORKER as well as the capitalist press to “wait | on the street.” _ | Helpers Arrested. | The workers who were arrested | arrested were Peter Groskaw, Lawr- ence Cohen, Solomon Green, James Pascale and Samuel Rothberg. | { “Picketing will be continued,” said | C. E. “Miller, president of the Amer- | ican Association of Plumbers’ Help-| ers. “We do not intend to allow the arrests to interfere with our work.” The striking helpers held a large meeting last night at the Church of All Nations, 9 Second Avenue, where the workers pledged to continue the struggle until they win.

Lindsey, noted for his re- forms in the handling of juvenile crime, must surrender his office. The U. S. Supreme Court so de- clared in a decision laid down to- day. The court denied his petition for review of a Colorado supreme court decision ousting him from the post of judge of the Denver Juvenile Court’ on the ground that he was technically defeated by his oppon- ent in the 1924 election. Judge Lindsey, as a result of his exposure of political corruption in his state has been under attack for many years. Rubber Workers of Akron, Toiling for Little Pay, Rebel AKRON, Ohio, June 6.—Speeding ‘Y-|up of the workers in the local rubber shops is reaching unbelievable heights as the peak of the greatest season the industry has ever known is approach- ing. Although the rubber workers are unorganized the increase in speed-up is. calling forth a determined resist- ance which usually takes the form of spontaneous department strikes on the job. The mill room workers at Good- |year are the latest group to rebel at an attempt to increase production at their expense. Conditions in the Goodyear lamp- black mill room are typical of the in- dustry. Ten minutes after a man starts work he is coal black. The air is filled with dust and as proper ven- tilation is, non-existent, the stuff gets in the worker's eyes, his nose, mouth and lungs. The men are allowed no time off for lunch, They must work straight thru the 8 hours without leaving the mills. Work at Top Speed. The men work at top speed. Pro- duction is 60 per cent more a man than in 1923, That year each man ran 19, 80-pound batches of stock thru his mill per day. For this he received $6.56. By 1927 the men were running 24 batches of 94 pounds each for the same money. A few days ago the management announced that the efficiency depart- ment had decided the men were able to produce. still more and that 6 pounds jwould be added: to each. batch, making a total of 2,400 pognds per yan a-day. This was the last straw. to the mill men, already driven beyond endur- ance, and they struck. gang left the job and went to the locker room for a meeting. Word reached them that the factory man- ager wanted to speak to them, and/ after some debate he was admitted to | the meeting and finally persuaded the men.\to go back to work, with the promise of a raise. The raise was not forthcoming the next day and the men quit the job again for three hours. This time Slusser, the manager, came down and told the men they had been granted a raise of 60 cents a day, but that the extra six pounds a batch was there to stay. The men realized that ja strike of one department alone would be licked before it started, so they” accepted the miserably small raise and sullenly returned to work. Pittsburgh Coal and Terminal Firm Figure in Rumor of Mergers Rumors. on Wall Street, backed by advances in stock, indicated that the notoriously non-union Pittsburgh Coal Co. may consolidate with the Pitts- burgh Terminal Coal Co. into the big- gest bituminous producer in the coun- try..

The Expulsions of 1926. Former expulsions within the In- | ternational Ladies Garment Workers’ Union usually have been conducted according to the constitution, which provides for the preferring of formal charges; five to thirty days notice to the member that they have been pre- ferred; and trial before whateyer evance or Appeal Committee has diction, ju In the expulsions of 1926, however, in spite of this elaborate mi provided by the constitution, the en- tire Joint Board and Locals 2, 9, and 35 expelled without formal charge without trial, and upon twenty four hox notice.
