Negotiations for a separate agreement for District United Mine Workers of reached a point at whi tionary Fishwick admi the district offered disguised wage cut for the miners, in the form of more “dead work” or work done without pay. The operators stubbornly insisted on a formal wage cut, which the district offi- cers were afraid to consent to, be- cause ‘of the insistent demand of the miners for retention of the Jacksonville scale.

POWERS. |. The metal trades workers of the} | United States number nearly four | and one-half millions. These workers | | are among the most necéssary for the functioning of the industrial | machinery, of -the country, for with- jout the services of the automobile workers, blacksmiths, drop forgers, | boilermakers, iron | draftsmen, technical e engravers, firemen and oilers, mold- {ers, foundrymen, ‘st¢e1l workers, steamfitters, structirval iran workers and sheet metal workers, ete. to men- tion only some of the important | groups in the metal trades,— ‘industry in this country impossible, Despite the prime importance of these workers in the industrial heme of things, with few exceptions they are among the most overworked and underpaid workers in the United | States. On the other hand, there are no industries more profitable for the | bosses than these same metal trades. | For example, the richest man in the world, Henry Ford, got his billions ngineers, metal would be from the most inhuman system of | | seientifie exploitation of scores of thousands of automobile workers yet devised, The Blight Of “Fordization.” The same “scientific production” with its speed- -up, bonuses, stop watch, company union, spies and stool | pigeons, known as “Fordization.” is being more and more introduced by the metal trades bosses in their at- | tempt to extract ever more profit | from the sweated toil of the workers | Two | and to prevent the growth of the only| bosses come across with funds to thing which can put a check upon! their greed, namely, labor unions run | | by the rank and file of the workers | |for their own interests as metal! trades workers. Real unionism of | trades’ industries. } Small Percentage Organized. | Of the four and one-half millions |of workers in these industries, less than 200,000, or about four and one- half per cent are organized, and even this small number is split up into some 36 different craft unions, each jacting independently of the rest, | greatly to the advantage of the bosses, who, on the other hand, have been constantly uniting and co-or- | dinating their trade organizations until today, the great accumulations of capital in the metal trades in- dustries are controlled as one huge unit. It is this division among the {workers and the unity among the | bosses which is chiefly responsible | for the weakness of the metal trades’ unions. Agents of the Bosses. The energetic efforts of the pro- | gressive, militant elements in the | various craft unions of the metal | trades, to achieve more unity of or- ganization and action, have met not only with the opposition of the bosses, which is to be expected, but |of the reactionary labor leaders as well.

The bosses are told to immediately | pay to the right wing gang their contribution to the unemployment fund, even tho in the next paragraph they are told that the fund has been suspended, Money Not for Workers. That the money will not be given to unemployed cloakmakey's is self-| evident, as Hillquit “himself admits | “the fund has been temporarily sus- pended,” When informed of this latest move on the part of the right wing, cloak- makers were heard to comment on; the audacity displayed by the union | disrupters. Hillquit’s Letter. vr sent by Hillquit reads The lett as follows “I have been retained by the trus- tees of the Unemployment Insurance Fund to collect from you the contri- butions which you owe to the Fund under the terms of your agreement with the Joint Board of Cloak Mak- | ers’ Union. | “The Fund has temporarily sus-} pended its operations and you will! not be required to continue your con- | tributions to it from the 1st day of January, 1927.

Whenever there was a possibility of calling a spade, his honor said “erver certain citizens of this city” or “a certain re- ligious domination.” -At the end of \the hearing the word “Jew” remained unuttered, Such verbal dexterity must ‘\be trying, for, it must be conceded that to inquire into an anti-Jewish lynching party without once mention- ing the word is a great political feat. Shortly after the hearing started it was quite obvious that this so-called investigation was merely a move on the part of the majority faction with- in the Tammany organization to rail- road Commissioner of Public Welfare Coler out of office. Hearing Fixed. The hearing started with the usual fanfare announcing the mayor and the first witness called was Dr. Mortimer Jones, the superintendent of the hos- pital in which the three Jewish in-| terres were semi-lynched two weeks ago Monday. He was the only offi- cial called during the session yester-| day and his testimony was to all ap- pearances previously prepared with the cooperation of the mayor, who in- spected the Brooklyn hospital last week under Jones’ chaperonage. Politics. | During his examination Jones de-! nied that he had knowledge that any anti-Jewish feeling existed in the in- stitution under his care, although he! was aware of the fact that previous |to the present batch of Jewish in-| ternes there has not been a Jewis interne attached to Kings County Hospital for the past eleven years. The mayor's questions were framed as to call for answers which would incriminate Commissioner Coler | who is in charge of all city hospitals. | Coler if a Hearst- Hylan man and the present Tammany regime is doing all in its power to oust all non-Smith of- ficeholders from power. One In Nine Dies. In réply to the question asked by Walker as to why the application blank which all prospective internes must sign had the question regarding the applicant’s religion, if any; Jones replied that in view of the fact one patient in nine admitted to the hos- |pital died, it was necessary to have “god-fearing” medieal men on hand, as very often the attending clergy | merely ple Astronomers of U. 5.5. RY! Use Balloons for Study | Of Present Sun Eclipse || MOSCOW, June 29.— Twelve soviet union scientists today during the eclipse, which was only partial here, for the purpose of making scientific observations, ascended to an altitude of 12,000 feet in three balloons, taking their scientific in- strumehts with them. The use of balloons for astronomical observa- tion has seldom been attempted be- fore, and there are great difficul- ties in the way, tho theoretically it is the best plan for rising above the clouds and fogs which inter- fere with photography. The fact that the present flight was per- ted in to such a height as 12,000 feet indicates, scientis that the technical and mechanical diffi culties of observation from bal- loons must have been solved by in- vention of improved instruments. nr to make clear Coler was the c now come to a head at the county political Gov.
