Employers’ Gangsters Attack Strike Leader (Continued from Page One) by the Manhattan Window Cleaning Employers’ Association. Charles W. Nicholson, an Interna- tional officer in the American Fed- eration of Labor yesterday addressed the striking window cleaners, urging | them to continue the struggle until the eempany union was destroyed. * * * (By Federated Press). The window cleaners striking for an increase in pay and recognition of the union. The bosses broke with the organization last summer, and threw their support to a newly formed com- pany association. The strike began October 6 and so far it looks like a winning fight, though seven strikers have already been arrested, and nearly 200 police- men are giving all their time to as- ing the opposing side. Forty of ie 160 window cleaning employers have settled with the union, though 320 are still stubborn and more than 900 men are yet on strike. Bosses Organize Scahs. The story of the employers’ tactics are interesting. After losing a strike last year the bosses set about the formation of a company union. This was duly manufactured and incorpora- ted with the state of New York last May. By August the employers were ready to make the break and notified the regular union that their contract no longer held. The employers’ excuse was that they had dissolved the Amal- gamated Window Cleaning Employ- ers’ Assn. which made the contract. A new bosses’ association, the Man- hattan Window Cleaners’ Assn. was then formed and an agreement was entered into with the company union. $10 A Week For Strike Fund. The strikers are affiliated with the American Federation of Labor, through the international building ser- vice union whose headquarters are in Chicago. ‘The strike has the official support of the Central Trades and Labor Council of New York. Window cleaners back on settled jobs are vol- untarily paying $10 a week into the strike fund and the two paid officers, Peter Darck, secretary and Harry Feinstein, business agent, are taking no pay during the walk-out. t | Workers Urged to Keep Blood For Own Class (Continued from Page One) be found in the millionaire sections. Recruiting sergeants are not found enlist in the army to defend their country. : Soldiers Treated Harshly. “Soldiers in Hawaii are treated so harshly and life is made so miserable for them that many become insane,” he said. “The numbers of suicides is large. Others, more intelligent, pre- tend to be mentally abnormal in order to get discharges from the army. One soldier got a discharge by telling his general he wished to join the army. The general asked what he thought he was in. ‘The Boy Scouts,’ he answered. It won the discharge. Perhaps the best method was that of a soldier who would leave the ranks to examine seraps of papef across the road. Fi- nally, he also was given a discharge. The instant he held it in his hands said to the officer: ‘This is the paper Crouch said an intensive army re- cruiting drive was going on at pres- ent and into that the attempts to draw large numbers of young workers into the army was part of the govern- ment’s preparation for a new imperial- ist blood bath.

C., Oct. 14.—Vis-| iting full fashioned hosiery knitters in| North Carolina one hears from time | to time of a certain William Nebel, ; the “manufacturers’ agitator,” as the union folks call him.} This German-American gentleman is | a runaway boss from New Jersey | where ‘he had to deal with the union) whether he liked to or not. So he| ran away to the Tar Heel State, and} is busy plugging up his defences) against the labor organization, and) encouraging his fellow manufacturers to do likewise. { Nebel and the 18 other employers in his line in this state are fighting to keep their low labor costs. Full fashioned knitters are the aristocrats of textiles, getting as much as three | the industry. In the north a skilled union knitter averages $70 a week; in the south half that. -Nebel is well under the half, his knitters ranging from $25 to $32 a week, with learn- ers getting only $7 to $10. | Bosses More Vicious. | The methods this manufacturers’ agitator are initiating are worth tell- ing of, because some of the other bosses: are beginning to follow suit. ; For the southern employers are grad-| ually adopting more skillful ways. of) resisting. the unions as. the.labor or-| ganizations loom larger on the hori- zon. Nebel’s canniest tactic is in hiring his help. Suspecting every industrial worker as a potenfial union sympa- thizer he hires his men straight from} the farm. The theory is that there is something about the atmosphere of life in a cornfield or a tobacco patch | that dulls the brain to the appeals of} the organizer. But this does not al-| ways work out and even if it did the! time would come when the surplus) farm labor had moved to the cities. | Keep ’Em Ignorant. Another idea of this veteran union- fighter is that a worker should not | be permitted to get much skill, His| experience in the north was that the! highly skilled worker was most prone | to organize. So Nebel does not let, his knitters learn all of the trade.} They remain merely operatives. Any straightening of the needles or re- pairing of the complicated knitting | ‘machine is done by a fixer. A costly! tactic sometimes; repairs often com-| ing too late. | Alone of all the 14 full fashioned | employers in North Carolina Nebel | boasts the yellow dog contract. Tho somewhat clumsily drawn, and of very doubtful legality, the indi- vidual contract which each employe must sign pledges him to stay out of the union while working in the plant. The manufacturers’ agitator is try- ing hard to get the yellow dog into the other full fashioned companies, but as yet it is too advanced a tech- nique for the other bosses to see. Nebel has been more successful, however, in working up a blacklist system. When a knitter is fired by any of the group of bosses who are working together in the blacklist all the other plants are called on the long distance phone. The kink in the plan is that there is a shortage of knitters and sometimes a boss will double cross the rest and hire a union | sympathizer because he needs a good man. Union Spirit Grows.
