THE DAILY WORKER, NEW YORK, MONDAY, JULY 16, 1928 'BARBERS OUT ON GENERAL STRIKE | INPHILADELPHIA “Plan to Organize All Progressives | ee PHILADELPHIA, Pa., July 15.— Journeymen barbers all over the city here have gone on_ strike Sgainst an attempt on the part of the bosses to cut their wages and reduce their working conditions to the pre-war level. % Many of the patrons at the vari- ous barber shops, upon learning of the strike, left the barber chairs with lather on their faces, partly shaved. Girls refused to permit scabs to bob their hair. Today many pickets are patrolling in front of hundreds of shops throughout the city. Workers Present Demands. Some of the demands presented by the striking workers are that all barbers should be hired through the union; that journeymen barbers be paid $35 per week and 50 per cent commission for over $50 taken in} A demonstration in which hun- in five days; that one day off a dreds of workers braved the rain week be allowed them.

Other demands are that Saturday’s pay shall be $12 and 50 per cent for $16, and that barber shops shall be opened at 8 a. m. and closed at 8 p. m. In the center of the city ten hours shall constitute a day’s work. At a conference held here with the bosses, the latter refused to recognize the demands of the work- ers, and were willing to “concede” conditions and pay much lower than those demanded by the striking workers. | Officials Betray Workers. According to latest reports, the strikers are showing fine spirit and are confident that their power wil) force the bosses to grant their de- mands. Active rank and file mem. bers of the. union, however, are dis- satisfied with the actions of the of- ficials of the union. It is pointed out that union officials, in nego- |tiating with the employers, gave up the demands for increases in wages ithereby placing the union in a de- ‘fensive position. The employers took ladvantage of this and imposed a wage-cut on the workers. The militants among the rank and file are preparing to organize the progressive workers with the pur- jpose of preventing further compro- mise of their demands. Robert Minor, editor of The DAILY WORKER and Workers (Communist) candidate for U. S. Senator, and Robert Wolf, novelist und poet, were freed from ‘the | Tombs; Rebecca Grecht, New York state campaign manager of the | Workers Party, and Harriet Silver- | man, secretary of the local branch of the Anti-Imperialist League, |which arranged both the July 3 demonstration and yesterday’s meet- | ing, were released from the Work- house. Speakers at! the meeting included Minor, Grecht, Shachtman, editor of “The Labor Defender”; D. Benja- | min, asistant director of the Work- | ers School, and Arthur Stein of the | Young Workers League and Jessie | Taft of the Young Pioneers. | The speakers denounced the bru- | tal attack on the demonstration and | called for continued agitation against the imperialistic aggression of American capitalists. “Jail sentences do not frighten us Communists,” Minor declared. “That |is what we expect as long as we continue our fight on the ruling |class of the United States and in the interests of the workers. “We were not thrown into the Tombs because we violated any so- called statute.

RACKET Drivers Complain of Lost Cards Charges that hack inspectoxs, act- ing under orders from the Hack License Bureau, were stealing crim- inal identification cards from taxi- cabs as drivers were inside of res- |taurants, attending to other busi- ness, have been made during the past two weeks by taxi drivers and officials of taxi associations. Hugo Werber, business manager | of the Broad Street Taxi Owners Association, has been quoted as say- ing that “thousands of taxi drivers have had their cards taken in this way.” Inspectors have had orders, it was learned, from Commissioner Rutten- berg, in charge of the hack bureau, to pick up cards in cabs that are left vacant. According to hack regu- lations, cards must be displayed conspicuously in the driver's cab. | Garages Raided | The Tammany hack inspectors, |drivers state, are not satisfied with picking up these identification cards on the streets.

Many modern ciga factories have good ventilation sys- tems—but greed keeps the others from making improvements. Working 49 hours a week under such conditions, girls make $12— and if lucky as high as $20 a week This accounts for the high labor turnover which makes it necessary for cigar factories to hire new work- ers every day—even in this period of unemployment. 3 CHICAGO SEWER Ai: announcements for this column must reach The DAILY WORKER several days before the event in ques- tion to make the annvuncement ef- etive.

The television camera, attached to a radio, showed clear. pictures of a man playing tennis on the roof for the sake of the experiment. It was proven that the sun was sufficient to “paint” the vision on the lense. Formerly powerful elec- tric lights were used for this. The camera will be able to operate on hazy; days, but clouds that shut off sunlight weaken the camera’s vision. Experimenters stated that the television’ camera is yet in its ex- perimental stage since only experts are able to operate it, especially as attached with the radio. CO. RENEWS AGREEMENT.
