Negro Paper Calls Ocotal, “Massacre By U. S.

In order to secure a higher re- turn it has valued its property at $265,000,000. The railroad’s proper- ties have been valued at $127,000,000 by a financial expert. The figures were given before the transit commission on a hearing of the road to consider a raise in the commutation rates. THINK OF THE SUSTAINING FUND AT EVERY MEETING!

This is ab- | solutely untrue, and this manufactur- er’s statement shows why. Because the Joint Board is not recognized | there and cannot help the workers to |get them. In fur trimming and in- | dependent shops July increases have been given the workers as usual. Many manufacturers have given them without the intervention of the union, in other cases cases the workers have appealed to the Joint Board, and the | increases have been granted after a | conference. | When the Associated Fur Manu- |facturers came out in support of the right wing dual union, the Joint | Board at the time declared that there | was a secret understanding between the two groups in which one of the FALK—Wednesday Night—July 27. concessions granted by the Interna- | tional and A. F. of L. officials was that there should be no insistence on July increases. Is Eloquent Proof. “Today’s statement in . Women’s Wear is more eloquent proof of this claim than anything the Joint Board can say. In contrast to this employ- er’s account of what is happening in Associated shops today, we can show figures concerning July in- creases when the left wing Joint Board was recognized in Associated | Shops. “Tn 1925, in the month of July there took place 165 shop stoppages for increases, affecting 1706 workers for whom $11.942 was obtained in in- \creases. In addition to this, the Joint | Board succeeded in gettine wor creases for 1684 workers of 158 shops without any stoppages a weellv crease of $13,789.50. Altogether, the Joint Board succeeded in getting, during the month of July 1925, for 3290 workers from 823 shops, the amount of $25,731.50 weekly. help them get the increases which | This | » FURRIER DYE WORKERS ON STRIKE; ASK THE JOINT BOARD 10 AID THEM does not include the increases that were obtained by fur workers of other }shops as a result of this campaign |initiated by the Joint Board. The records of the Joint Board taken from shop meetings indicate that July in- creases to the amounts mentioned above were gotten by almost every fur worker in the trade that year. Wages Increases. . “In 1926, in the month of July, al- though the workers at that time were getting higher wages than in 1 because of the increases that lowed the general strike, the lett wing Joint Board, nevertheless ini- tiated a campaign for increases which | resulted in 44 shop stoppages in- volving 695 wokers. These secured increases, and in addition increases were obtained for 320 workers of 82 shops without any stoppages. Alto-/ gether the July increase campaign in 1926, as carried on by the Joint Board, secured $11,450.70 weekly in- creases for 1115 workers of 26 shops, ; in addition to the increases that were secured By the workers themselves | as a result of this campaign. All | these figures can be verified by Joint | Board records. | “The importance of this campaign | for increased wages when the season | begins in July, can be judged from} | the results shown in the following table: In 1925—cutters received 7% high- er wages than 1924. In 1926—cutters received 24% high- er wages than in 1925.

(Worker Correspondent) I went with another comrade to distribute today’s (Tuesday, July 26) issue of the DAILY WORKER to the traction workers. We arrived at the East 180th street station to give out paper to the train- men and shopmen who usually stop work at 4.30 p.m. At the terminal we found out that the shopmen were working overtime because of the strike, and that they would probably work until late at night. Send Up Bundles. Workers were hoisting lumber to the top of the building. Many were handling the heavy lumber for the workers on the roof who were hoisting it up with ropes. All these workers standing below rushed over to me to get their copies of the WORKER. The workers who were on_the roof were anxious to get papers &ilso. So we tied bundles of papers to the ropes which pulled up the lumber. , Many said, ‘This is the paper we want!” When these workers went into the shop they took along bundles to dis-| tribute to their shop mates. Every-| one accepted the paper enthusiastic- ally. Only one old subway guard refused to take a paper, “because,” he said, “this paper is not American.” Thug Gets Busy. A company thug came over to me and threatened me: “Better quit it or I'll fix you up! And you know J could get you.” But he was too late. We distrib- uted nearly all the papers. About half past five the workers had their supper on the roof of the shop, and you could see everyone yeading a copy of the DAILY WORKER.
