_THE DAILY WORKER, NEW 1} YORK, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER i, 1928 Page Five Union Officials Move to Avert Strike of 2,000 Stage Workers Set for Tomorrow SENTIMENT OF WORKERS FOR A WALK-OUT Wage Raise a and Better| Hours Is Demand Panic stricken by the threat of 2,000 stage hands in New York City to go on strike tomorrow if their demands are not met, the labor com- | mittee of the International Theatri- cal Association, the bosses league, attempted yesterday to avert the| strike by conferring with officials of | Local 1 of the Theatrical Protective Union. Sentiment among the stage hands is overwhelmingly for the walkout if all the demands are not met by the bosses. The International Theatrical As | sociation is.the organization of the- atre managers, whose agreement with the stage hands expired last Sunday. The agreement was not re- newed at once, since the members of the stage hands’ union refused to agree to work for $48 a week. Demands of the stage hands in- clude a weekly wage of $100 for de- partment heads, of whom three are required in each theatre—property | man, carpenter and electrician. As- sistants to department heads now re- ceiving $65 a week are asking $90. Department heads are now paid] from $75 to $100. The union is also asking a change in working hours and a crew of| seven men in theatres alternating} weekly between musical and dram- atic attractions. Ordinary stage) hands want $85 a week. The old| agreement was made two years ago. More than two thousand hands in New York are members of the union and if a strike is called Saturday virtually every theatre in New York pile be affected. RED CAMPAIGN IN. OHIO, KENTUCKY Speakers : ‘Will Cover Industrial Cities (Special to the Daily Worker) CLEVELAND, Ohio, Sept. 6.— The Cleveland district of the Work- ers (Communist) Party and the| Young Workers (Communist) | League is at present engaged in a} strenuous effort to bring the influ-| ence of the Communist election cam- paign into the shops. and factories | of Ohio and Kentucky. Speakers are preparing tours throughout the dis- | concentrating on the unor-) trict, ganized industrial towns. Commun- ist literature and leaflets will be| distributed before factory doors. The Daily Worker will be placed in! the hands of workers who for years have seen no genuine labor litera-| ture. Two speakers are already out on a campaign tour. Sadie Van Veer and L. Bover, representing the) Workers (Communist) Party and) Young Workers (Communist) League respectively, have held meet- ings before factory gates in Dayton | and Middletown. At Dayton the meeting was held before the Delco- Remy Light Co.—a General Motors | controlled plant. A crowd of 500 workers were present at the meet- ing. In Middletown the speakers ad- dressed a crowd of workers em- ployed in the Beech-Nut Tobacco | plant. They were enthusiastically received by the workers, who until | that time had come in contact with no workers’ movement whatsoever. Into these cities, as well as all the cities of Ohio and Kentucky where the workers are forced to slave for starvation wages and under horrible speed-up systems, the Communist election campaign speakers will bring the message and platform of the class struggle. French Teachers Union Aid Workers, Peasants in Political Campaign PARIS, Sept. 6 (FP).—Propa- ganda against the French Teachers’ Union, which has 80,000 members and is affiliated with the General Confederation of Labor, has this year run its usual course in the press controlled by the organized employers. Threats to secure legis- lation forbidding the teachers to be- long to a trade union have been met by the union’s counter-attack on the big business groups of which Pre- mier Poincare is the spokesman.
