Tae ea Steel Workers To Get Slash. YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio., April 20.— Steel manufacturers, having assur- ance of a few aditional orders from auto companies, are combining to de- clare a general wage cut. The exact amount has not been decided upon yet. * Textile Wages Down. WASHINGTON, D. C., April 20.— The A. F. of L. main offices here admit that wage cuts from seven to 50 per cent in 113 textile mills of New ‘York and Massachusetts has resulted in hundreds striking. Four thousand are on strike because of wage cuts in 13 Philadelphia up- holstery mills. Several hundred have just lost their strike against a cut in the Wright Aeroplane factory at Pat- erson, New Jersey. Four hundred men on the Louisiana and Arkansas Railway threaten to strike against a five pre cent cut, and the A. F. of L. has forced them to arbitrate. Ethelbert Steward, U. S. commis- sioner of labor statistics, states that employment on the railroads has fal- len off nearly 15 per cent between February, 1931, and February, 1930, and is 18 per cent lower than Feb- ruary, 1929. Intense agitation and combination for a wage cut through the Watson-Parker machinery is go- ing on among railway executives. Stewart notes a trend toward piece work in all industries from Hawaiian cane plantations to the steel trust. ° . * New York Office Wages Sag.

The delegation made three mands: that forced labor should be abolished; that all men who worked be paid at the rate of 55¢ per hour, and that all men men who were thrown out of the flophouses and souplines for refusing to work for nothing should be reinstated. Mur- phy definitely stated that there would be no more forced labor and that all men kicked out for refusing to work for nothing would be rein- stated: He said that the city 0° De- troit has not the money to pay those who have already worked for noth- ing and that they would not be paid. The committee called sharply to the attention of the Mayor that Hen- la-| ry Ford made over $50,000,000 profit; Ukewike, the other auto manufactur de- | | ers such as General Motors, etc., made their huge profits. Out of these| millions of profit the unemployed council demands that workers be paid and receive the necessary re- lief. Prepare Staté March. Unemployed Councils and the Trade Union Unity League are pre- paring for a state hunger march on May 25th. Organizers are being sent about the district. Conferences are now being organized calling upon the different workers to actively partici- pate in the preparations of the Hun- ger march movement. At the demonstration which pre- ceded Mayor Murphy's admission, there were 2,000 workers in front of the city hall. A committee composed headed by Secretary Albert Goetz of the Unemployed Council was sent in. Murphy told this first committee that | there was no forced labor, and de-| clared Goetz, “didn’t know what he was talking about.” The demonstrators outside heard | speeches by Goetz on Unity League, pledged to join the council, to fight for relief, and to build the state hunger march on May 25. Workers in Famtranck are organiz- ing splendid battles under the lead- ership of the Unemployed Council of Hamtranck against the cutting off of relief. The propaganda on the part of the mayor in Hamtranck about the return of prosperity is be- ing exposed through the fighting demonstrations for immediate and increased relief.

The campaign among the building trades workers is developing at full speed. All shops conirciied by the Needle Trades Industrial Union were repre- sented at the conference. It was re= ported that there is a big movement among the company union workers to repudiate the socialist party and its police and fascist allies and join ihe United Front May Day demon- sivation. Food Workers Send Delegates. All shops under control of the Food Wo: 's’ Industrial Union have elected delegates and are carrying on an energetic campaign. Members of the Amalgamated Food Workers, aroused at the. refusal of their offi- cials to permit the representative of the United. Front Committee to ad- dress their meeting, are pledging to demonstrate on May Day with the revolutionary workers of New York | City. Four of the biggest metal shops in New York sent delegates to the con- ference and pledged support for the United Front May Day demonstra- tion. Following a successful strike led by the Industrial Shoe Workers’ Union, the shop meeting elected dele- gates to the conference and decided to actively participate on May Day. The Unemployed Councils, the Women’s Councils and other organ- izations are actively engaged in mob- ilizing the unemployed and unorgan- ized workers for joint struggle with the organized and with the employed workers against the boss system of starvation, wage cuts, lynching, de- portations, frame-ups and prepara- tion for war on the Soviet Union. Meet Thursday. On Thursday, April 23, the Trade Union Unity Council will meet at 16 West 21st Street to hear reports of all the delegates on May Day prep- arations. On the same evening at 7:45 o'clock, there will be a meeting of captains from the various organ- izations affiliated with the United Front May Day Conference in order to perfect arrangements for the par- ade.
