SOCIALIST TRIES TO ENSURE JOBS OF HIS HENCHMEN Progressive Workers Issue Statement A. I. Shiplacoff, $150 a weck man- ager of the Leather Goods Workers Union, has decided to discard “dem- ocracy” for methods more reliable in assuring the re-election of himself and his henchmen on strategic com- mittees in the union. He announced yesterday that all progressives run- ning on an opposition slate in the elections to be held tonight and to- morrow for the executive and. sec- tion committees, are no longer on the ballot. The hitherto smoothly functioning machine, with which Shiplacoff per- petuated himself in office was not at all confident. of overcoming the deep resentment of the membership at the worsening of union conditions in the shops and the growing un-! employment among union members.} Statement to Worker. The Progressive Leather Goods Workers Group, in a statement, cails upon all the workers to come to the polls and vote for Louis Hisner, for manager (he being the only one per- mitted on the ballot) and calls upon the members to vote “no” to every other candidate so as to defeat them all. This will be followed by a fight for new elections to the various com- mittees. Voting hours are tonight from 5 to 7 and tomorrow from 12 to 2, at union headquarters, 11 E. 18th St. The right wing leadership of the Leather Goods Workers Union, head- ed by A. I. Shiplacoff, fined a work- er last week for collecting money in the shops for the relief of the strik- ing miners, Punished for Aid to Miners. The worker employed in the shop of Wolfe Bros., was called before Shiplacoff’s executive board and was cross-examined at great length as to who was circulating a contribution list of the Pennsylvania-Ohio’ Miners’ Relief. The worker refused to divulge the names of any workers who con- tributed, but admitted giving a small sum himself. Shiplacoff ordered him fined $10 with a $15 suspended sen- tence. CONFERENCE FOR JOBLESS CALLED Delegates. Will Tomorrow (Continued from Page One) The conference is being characterized as another step in the direction of the Tammany Hall presidential campaign propaganda. It is called for Satur- day and Sunday at the Washington Irving High School, Irving Place and 17th St, Delegates from all local unions have been invited to-attend. A preliminary announcement said Gov. Al. Smith and Mayor James Walker had been invited to attend also. The unemployed workers of New ‘York see nothing to gain by “‘confer- ring” with Gov. Smith and Mayor Walker. Since the unemployment erisis was officially “recognized” by Mayor Walker’s administration the city government has provided no re- lief except by the usual method of hiring a few hundred or thousand men at low wages to shovel snow for a few hours after each heavy snow- fall.

GANGSTERISM IS | HIT BY BARBERS Statement Issued by the Executive Board (Continued from Page One) 913 of the Journeymen Barbers In- ternational Union of America. “Brothers, rest assured that our working conditions shall continue un- | altered. They shall remain $85. weekly and 45% over $50 take-ins, together with the same hours of work. “The unscrupulous and arbitrary methods of procedure utilized by the administration of the. Independent Master Barbers Association will not succeed. Terroristic tactics will al- ways fail against the solidarity of the workers. “We are in possession of the most recent circular published by the said adminis:ration and are aware of the identity of the men thereof. This body has declared war on the 3,000 members of Local 913 of the Jdurney- men Barbers International Union of America. They exercise tactics that are vicious. The gentlemen compos- ing the administration of the Inde- pendent Master Barbers Association have over-stepped the bounds this time, but they will have not only to account to the Journeymen Bar- bers Local 913 but to the American Federation of Labor and to all or- ganized working men and women of America. Today, more than ever be- fore solidarity of, and complete un- derstanding within, our ranks are prime requisites for our ultimate welfare and success. We've got to stand united! “Our slogan should ze-echo loud and strong ‘Down with gangsterism!’ Long live the solidarity of the toil- ers of America!' “The Executive Board of Local 913, Journeymen Barbers International Union of America.” BERLIN, March 15—The federated unions of the retail store employes ef Berlin, have sent in demands for a 20 per cent wage increase to the store owners’ organizations.

FARE STEAL Company Wins Point in Court Action (Continued from Page One) the first line of defense is still main- tained, Judge Manton, presiding at the preliminary hearings on the Interbo- rough request for an _ injunction against the city decided yesterday | that the federal courts to which -the | Interborough first applied had juris- diction in the fare steal. This is according to schedule, It is now admitted that the company | has advanced by a long stride its} march to the seven-cent fare. Company Not Worried. The Interborough did not appear worried over the announcement by John Bauer, an economist engaged | by the Transit Commission, that i was earning 18% on its total invest-/?2ct the hike and games. . ce ment taken at par or a small matter of 33% on its actual investment after the water is squeezed out of its rather moist stocks. Why should the Interborough wor- ry. It doesn’t need facts or public support to get a fare increase. It has behind it the effective power of the|p. in. Tammany tiger. And what the tiger has promised to bring down the tiger will get—provided fie workers of New York can be kept from organ- izing a mass protest movement. Such a movement is now under way. Mass meetings and demonstra- tions against the fare steal are being arranged in every part of the city. Sherman to Lecture on Traction. ‘John L.
