Speeded-Up—Organize Shop Committee; Build the Union, Rush Funds to ILD NEW YORK. The five textile warkers who have been | framed up en the charge of first degree murder by the Pater-| son textile bosses face the electric chair not for the alleged crime but for their activities in the labor movement. These five wi workers of Paterson and yiein- ity, come to trial today on a second charge also framed up, The bosses are determined not only to “get” these workers, but to deal a blow to the National Textile Workers’ Union, of which they are members and leaders. The workers of Paterson will be in court today at 10 a. m. to watch the capitalist court carry out its mandate from the hosses to convict these five workers. They will be there to see how capitalist justice is meted out to workers. Another Sacco-Vanzetti Case. The Paterson textile case is an- other Sacco and Vanzetti case, and the workers of the entire country must be aroused to its meaning. The bosses of this country in the midst of the country’s worst crisis, hope to dampen the rising militancy of the workers and to crush the foreign born by attacks on the workers generally and by singling out groups of work- ers for especial attacks. The rearrest of Pat Devine, national secretary of the National Textile Workers’ Union, shows the fear of the textile manu- facturers of the rising discontent of the textile workers whose wages have been cut and are being cut merci- lessiy, and who are being speeded up to the limit. These attacks will not stop the organization of the textile workers into the National Textile Workers’ Union. On the contrary the Paters on case will spur on the work- TRURSDAY To All Slipper and Stitchdows ‘Workers The Shoe and Leather Workers In- dustrial] Union is calling a mass meet for 7 \p. m. at Manhattan Lyceum, $6 B.

But this will not save these workers from| the penalty that the bosses have de-| cided on, viz., burning in the abi chair. Only the mass organization | and protest of the workers will save| these five revolutionary workers for} the working class moyement. The workers everywhere must be| awakened to the significance of this| case. In connection with the Scotts- | boro case, in which nine Negro young | workers alsa face electrocution, this| Case assumes the greatest Prominence | at a time when a sharp drive is| being made on the workers every-/| where—when the unemployed are} being left to starve, with even char- ity relief being cut off, with the wage cut drive in full swing, with the at- tacks on the Negroes and foreign born. The year 1931 will be a signi- ficant year in the history of the American labor movement, and noth- ing will signalize it more than the Paterson frame-up case.

This committee was sent to make de- mands on the officials of Local 4 for a@ real 40-hour week, abolition of temporary cards, equal division of work, no bosses to work as cutters, rotation of jobs to abolish favoritism, and abolition of the ten per cent assessment supposed to go to the jab- less but which actually is a racket of the officials, They reported that they inter- viewed the executive of Local 4 and were told that they could not appear before it as a body, but only as in- dividuals. Their demands were not considered. ‘When this report was made, rank and file members stood up all over the hall and announced that they had already appeared as individuals, and had not been recognized either. The meeting stood by the demands of the previous meeting and sent a committee of 25 to see President Hillman. Hillman wes “out,” and “wouldn't be back for several days,” etc., and Assistant Secretary Potofsky merely took the demands and said he would show them to Hillman. The committee went to Hillmgn’s Office instructed to file charges Tae WORKERS. 175 4 CeD Thee iS OnE OFMy Cops T YSE To CLup, TO SAY Thay A07 Gy R Sort Tear Our JunGey ARE NOT Pu S PATAM WALKEQU | 120.65 oF MoT Aipss Bu a el.

Delegates are to come from the present Unem- | Ployed Councils, from shop groups, Jocal unions, tenants’ leagues, house | committees, flop houses and bread lines and workers’ fraternal organi zations. The council created will be a united front body, with representation from | all the groups with representation at the conference, Lead Struggle The task of the councils is to unite the struggle against unemployment | in their sections to fight for immed- | iate relief and insurance, and to fight wage cuts and speed-up of employed workers. What have until now been called “tinemployed councils” in New York, | that is, the membership bodies, will become after the conferences are held branches of the unemployed caunci! | in their sections, with, of course, representation on the councils.

On finding a picture of Lenin in the club-lrooms, the detectives who said they had been sent by Police Headquarters, warned the caretaker not to permit the children the use of the rooms for their WIR Scout meeting. “It’s a workers’ organization,” the caretakwer answered—‘“and the chil- dren around here need a working class training—so they'll keep com- ing here whether you like it or not!” A WIR Scout Group, composed of children of Greek parents, living in one of the poorest tenement sections of New York, meets in the Sparta- cus Club every Thursday night. and in addition to sports training, receives elements of a working class training and understanding of the class strug- |New Jer: }Campaign in general ‘Leather Workers | break the strike gle. |New Jersey ILD Conf.

Wage cuts, speed-up are the methods used by the bosses to squeeze out from the slipper pale more and more profits. Be- cause the slipper workers are not heed zed, the bosses do everything they please and, therefore, the cry for organization is on the order of the day. The workers in the Feifer Bros. Slipper Co., who went out on strike | under the leadership of the Shoe} and Leather Workers Industrial Un- | ion against a wage cut, continue in / their struggle and are determined to | win. ‘The bosses continue to use| every means at their disposal to} gangsters, police and strike bi ss.
