ASE STOPPAGES AS WEAPON, CALL TOWORKERS SAYS Only Way to Give the Jobless Work While the last few days’ develop- ments in the fur industry have shown that the right wing union of the A. F. of L. is torn by a factional strug- } gle which has burst into the open, the Joint Board of the Furriers’ Union is proceeding with the campaign it mapped out for the regaining of the | union conditions destroyed by the right wing and the bosses. A circu- lar issugl by the Joint Board and mediate action to secure the July raises in pay, the enforcement of the 40 hour week and thereby work for the jobless, The leaflet follows in part: The wages have been cut more than fifty per cent. The cutters, opera- tors, nailers and finishers-are now getting $30 and even $40-less.than they got in 1926 despite the fa they are now producing twidé- as much work. Hundreds of thousands of dollars are weekly stolen from the workers to fill the pockets of. the bosses. Cost of living and rent have not become cheaper; only the fur workers became cheaper. Why? Because your ranks were broken and your union wrecked. One strong united union, under the leadership of competent, deyoted and militant workers will restore the union conditions, will put an end to the merciless exploitation in the shops, increase the wages, curb the appetites of the greedy manufactur- ers and reestablish the furrier’s self respect and pride. A July inerease for every worker under all circumstances, The first week in July all furriers get increases in wages. This has been ‘the trade practice for many years; and the bosses were long ago forced to recognize this practice. Only ‘last year the workers did not receive their rightful July increases beeause last year the council scab agents sold out to the bosses the July increases as well as all other union conditions. A July increase for every worker without any exceptions or else ater stoppages. Don’t postpone. Don’t. be.mi: 1 empty promises of your boss or fo man or of the scabs in your shop, Ast at once. Now there is already work in the trade. Forge the irops while - Don’t allow yourselves to be caidaledl ‘by the fake maneuvers: or empty threats from the scab council. If necessary be ready and mobilize’ your power for a general stoppage to wrest from the bosses an increase for every worker. You can force the bosses to return to you a large part of the slashed wages, and you can rout your enemies only by means of united, courageous and determined action. This will be your first step in adopting united mass pressure, higher wages and the 40 hour week. This will mean jobs for the unem- ‘ployed and will restore all other union standards in the shop. REVEAL POWER TRUST POISON Documents Show Wide-| Spread Propaganda (Continued from Page One) ropaganda was unfolded before the Federal Trade Commission today in lurid terms that put fietion to the blush. J. B. Sheridan of St. Louis, whose letters indicated that for nearly five years he had been at war with him- self over the methods of the men he served, supplied both the document: and testimony. At the end of t hours his face was strained, his yoicé had dropped almost to a whisper, and he appeared on the verge of a ear down, In the subpoenaed letters and re® ports Sheridan demanded that Carl! D. Thompson, a famous Chatauqua | ‘speaker who advocated public own- ership of utilities, be “annihilated,” ‘and set powerful machinery of money -and influence in motion to bring that about. _. He circulated through his Missouri “utility propaganda bureau a pamph- let which taught thousands of school ‘children that the great electric pow- er, light, and street car companies were owned by.“‘widows and orphans.” In letters subsequently taken from idan’s files, “lying, trimming, king and downright evasion of trust” were attributed to “some of the led big men'‘in the industry” ‘with whom Colton had been working. _ + Sheridan testified that the move- “men tt to brand all those who dis- | sisheviks” was launched at a util- ‘men’s meeting fi in New ro Jast which will restore ! with the utility leaders as THE DAILY WORKER, NEW YORK, PRA, Tene 22, 1928 Page Five er ereemreeanis Joint Board Calls Fur Workers to Force Pay Increases, Shorten “Hours Amundsen and Crew Believed Lost in Arctic | oo j Fiying to the Arctic wastes in crew, Capt.

PIECE WORK FOR * * (Continued from Page.One) ‘ larger employers demanded, as’ was reported yesterday, the piece work privilege for their contractors only. ‘the Hillman machine declared’ that “ander no circumstances will they grant piece work to any but ‘re- | sponsible employers.”” ~-Now the bosses’ papers, in reporting the prog- jvess of the negotiations, say that | “the labor group show a willingness to consider means of encouraging large production with permanent con- | tractors,” meaning, that the’ encour- agement will be given by granting | piece work. The bosses’ paper thgn admits that it will be difficult to build’ a ma- ehinery whereby piece work will be permitted on work done for the mem- bers of the bosses’ association, while week wc rk will be enforced when the same shop turns to the work of other manufacturers.

The accused technician Tschinokal, an assistant of Gorletzky’s, tried to shield him at first, but afterward ad- mitted a mechanization sabotage in- volving several million rubles. Gor- Hetzky also continued to deny -his guilt, in spite of his open statement in court concerning the pra¢ticability of a socialist state, in spite of his own counter-revolutionary record that stamps him as one who would natur- lally become implicated in such a con- spiracy, and in spite of the fact that }most of the engineers accused with jhim in the same plot, designate him as the first to join and be active in the sabotage. He was also confronted with others of the accused, the testi-: mony of all of whom incriminate him.

Added to this there will be’ a banquet din- ner at the camp dining room. The boat ride will be on the Central Hud- son steamer “Benjamin Odell, which will dock at the Battery Park pier.

Today before a newspaper men George R. VanNamee, leader of the: Smith campaign, called Mack on the carpet and “forced” him | to repudiate his views and to declare they were not those of Smith. Yow the little business men who desiré their beer may smile to them- selves in the. cunning conviction that Mack made a “slip” and has really what Smith secretly intends to carry out. will have some straw to grasp at in the repudiation by Smith of the mil- itant wetness of Mack. It need only be added that no such long tirade as |} | was issued by Mack could have taken place without the complete under- standing of the campaign managers. Boss Murphy again was seen to live in the declaration of the Smith forces in the matter. of choosing a vice-president. Everyone knows, of course, that if. Smith is the nominee he will be practically all-powerful in choosing his running mate. Never- theless, the voice of Murphy was to- day heard to say from the lips of Van Namee: “The convention will de- cide.” This pleases the young hope- ful politicians and adds to the “dem- ocratic” illusions which the. Smith forces are peddling about. Tammany Gang Rakés in Another $5,000,000 (Continued from Page One) board of directors he was chairman are, however, well known. In the fall af 1926, for instance, the Tammany governor vetoed a bill for a tunnel to j Staten Island under the Narrows in lorder that the trucking company might keep hundreds of thousands of dollars of trucking which otherwise would have been diverted. Mayor Walker and Tammany Hall for two and one-half years have been conducting a persistent propaganda against the food terminals. They have crippled the Bronx market, which they found built when they took office. Not only have they failed to open that market but they have turned over nearly fifty-two acres of the city’s land for railroad purposes to the New York Central. Finally Walker and his Tammany henchmen have wiped out almost $15,- 000,000 in appropriations and killed all food terminal developmént. ———— Patronize the ITALIAN-AMERICAN RESTAURANT ANTONIO SCHIAVO, Prop. 86 East 4th Street 2nd Ave, NEW YORK.
