At our local meeting it was unanimously voted that the “backmakers” be re- instated on their jobs and reopen their case on the executive, officials of the local refused to obey this command of the workers in placing the. workers back on their jobs. However, these officials had the “Impartial” Committee of Hilman and the boss whose decision was as usual against the workers. Must Organize Groups The vestmakers or the coat makers or any other workers who are mem- bers of the Amalgamated cannot ex- pect anything from these officials of the Amalgamated, who live on the sweat and blood of us workers and make airty deals with the bosses against the workers. One thing the workers have to do if they want to rid themselves of these lackeys of the bosses. We the members of the Amalgamated, the vestmakers, must organize ourselves in the shop and in the local union, in groups and com- mittees, to give a good fight to the bosses when they cut our wages and to the officials who help them, Boatmen Launch Fight Against Deportation (By a Worker Correspondent) STOCKTON, Cal.—The successes of the recent strike led by the Ma- tine Workers Industrial Union here against a proposed wage-cut of the bosses have been further strength- ened by the union membership. here. The shipowners were defeated, but haye organized their forces, with the aid of the subtle chamber of com- merce, and are now planning to put the wage-cut into effect in the near future. ‘The parasites are very cunning and are trying to split the ranks of the workers, by spreading a lot of demor- alizing propaganda among the work- ers, inferring that wage-cuts will take place despite any workers’ or- ganization and that the members of the union will be victimized and the foreign-born workers deported. But the plans of teh malignant boat owners will be of no avail, be- cause the workers are solidifying their forces to resist any attack on their conditions. .They are organ- izing boat committees under rank and file control. At the last special membership meeting held of the Marine Workers Industrial Union the workers voted to a man to fight all wage-cuts and discrimination on the part of the bosses. Slave 70 Hours In Radio Plant for $10 (By a Worker Correspondent) 1 CHICAGO, Ill—I work in a large Majestic Radio and Refrigerator Plant. Two. years ago it employed 14,000 workers. Today only 6,000 work in the plant, Now they have staggered the workers in both the radio and refrigerator departments: | you work 6 months and are laid off 6 months. And after you are off 6 months. you are lucky if ‘you are called back to work, During the 6 months work in the different plants the workers aré forced to work like slaves at an in- human pace for 10 to 16 hours’a day, Last week I saw girls who had worked 7 days a week and who had put in over 70 hours, receive pay checks. for $10. And I saw several of them. crying like small children because they could not quit the job for fear of-starving to death, This place has no labor unions and never had any and thé company has “private police in uniforms with guns that. guard the doors and. walk aréurid the factory. There are ‘also spies looking for anyone who talks labor organization. This company pays 36 cents an hour for common | labor and not more than 50 cents an | hour for the highest paid trades. ‘When this company first. started to manufacture electric refrigerators it sold stock for 8 million dollars and was supposed to start production af- ter it spent 4 million on the plant | equipment, but it spent the 8 million | and \was completely closed down for | 3 months because it could not pay workers wages until it got bank loans, The reason was that the company filled the plant with their friends who grafted all kinds of money, Thru graft and incompetency they bought 5 million dollars worth of machinery that was not needed. There is row after row of this machinery setting rusting, and these machines could not be used anyhow because they were installed too close to each other, This plant is now trying to pay the interest on the wasted money by cutting the workers wages and driv- ing them at top speed for 12 hours a day. Forced Labor In Arkansas Cotton Fields (By. a Worker Correspondent) BLACK ROCK, Ark.—In the city of Walnut Ridge, Arkansas, where the workers have refused to pick cot- ton for 60 cents a hundred, the city officials controlled by the plantation owners, are carrying on a campaign against the workers in an effort to force them: to’ work in the fields for, a starvation wage. Mayor E. -L. Moore has issued a manifesto in which he states that “50 cents a hundred is more than most farmers are paying in the cot- ton belt and ‘that if any able bodied Tan does not find work at this price ‘ata time when labor is so scarce, he will either be arrested or run out of town.” ‘The fake Red Cross has announced that it “will not function in Arkan- sas this winter.” All the local “char- ities” are voicing their approval of is scheme to force workers to Starve while working, by refusing to aid “any one who has not worked this fall.” Singing a pean of praise to the mayor's manifesto, one of the cap- italist news sheets has the follow- ing to say editorially: “Work is not a cure-all for our economic troubles. In fact all the Panaceas prescribed... have failed.. But a busy man has no time to think of depression... hunger, and the ills of the country. Neither will he have time to his neigh- bor against the of things.” The workers must smash this attempt to further enslave them by organizing in the Agricultural Work- ers Union of the Trade Union Unity League.

The response was splendid, For | with torn cards and threw them into ech man receiving loud chee:s fiom the crowd. However, the usual thing happened: a sheriff on the grounds arrested one of the men and placed him in the guard house. The crowd followed demanding his release. The sheriff then lost his head and called the men “red sons of bitches.” The crowd then threat- ened to break into the jail. The gov- ernor was called. The governor was forced to release the prisoner by the crowd's. militancy, A. resolution was drawn up the next dey demanding two hours the men came forward i pee the removal of the sheriff, -+.. Police came down in riot cars and attacked the central meeting of a city-wide rally for Communist candi- dates Saturday. The police terrorized a crowd of 2,000 and arrested five speakers and spectators. The charges include “‘disurbing the peace,” “not displaying the American flag,” and “refusing to move on when ordered.” The meeting was peaceful and the flags, as required by law, were dis- played on the truck from which the speaking was done. The police tore down the flags to make a case, and the speakers’ attempt to argue that they had @ right to speak brought the other charges. Sentence Unemployed. Judge Fritz,jnotorious “red baiter”, yesterday rai ded eleven of the 23 arrested in the City Hall demonstra- tion of the unemployed on Septem- ber 14 and sentenced them. The judge declared that the 1,500 jobless who marched that day were “un- employed because they chose to be,” and offered no proof to back up his wild charge. Fritz sentenced Henry Schoen, Communist candidate for county su- |pervisor to 30 days, and gave the same sentence to William Manners, Maurice Fishman, Olaf Peterson, Chester Brydazinsky and Martin Sha- piro. Arehie Brown, district organ- izer of the Young Communist League, got six months. Richard Durant, Ar- thur Isaacson and Ray Nash were jailed for 60 days. Harry Simon, Communist election campaign man- ager was given ten days. Jail for Women. One woman, who was not in the demonstration but only stopped to, look at it on her way home after @ fruitless search for work, was sen-. tenced to 30 days, sentence suspend- ed, and threatened by the judge that if she or any otehr woman went to the City Hall asking relief from the authorities in the future, they would be jailed. In the trial, the jury was packed by retsricting the defense's legal right to hundreds of challenges to only 1¢ challenges, The judge, jury and Prosecuting attorney fraternized in and out of court during the trial. The defense witnesses were barred from testifying in many instances. Even so, the jury at first reported a disagreement, and the judge made them go back and deliberate further. VOTE DOWN ELY’S OFFER IN LAWRENCE (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) vote on the Governor's proposal, they crowded in front of the bulletin which appears in the window of the Lawrence Eagle Tribune to read what the proposal was. The Board of Conciliation and Arbitration, the U. T, W., the American Union, the Governor, had all maintained a hushed, silent, secret, air about what concerned the workers most, the wage cut. These agents of the bosses thought they could fool the workers into leaving the question of their wages in their hands. But the work- ers through bitter experiences have learned the lesson of trusting these fat bellied “friends” of labor. The strikers know they have nothing to hide. They want everyone to know that their wages have been cut con- tinually for the past year, that they have been working only a few days a week, that they cannot support themselves and their families, and they are solid in their determination not to accept the preesnt wage cut, Governor For Cut The statement which Governor Ely finally issued to the strikers, proves conclusively that he is trying his best to put over the wage cut for the bosses. The statement is addressed to the mill owners. Copies were sent to the heads of the U. T. W., Am- erican Union, and the hand picked committee of eleven. part. “If we were not at th low ebb industrially I would not consider o suggestion for the settlement of existing differences which did not contemplate an arbitration of wages, but it would be a public calamity eagerly grasped by those who do r.' hold dear American institutions if the labor difficulties are prol8nged.

Leaflets were issued by the Metal Workers Industrial League calling upon the workers in the Laclede plant to fight against the attack of the bosses, One of the stool pigeons got the leaflet and ran to the police station and five minutes later a Squad came and arrested Markoff and Petrovsky, The police tried to intimidate them by threats of de- portation but the workers told them they had nothing to lose as they were out of work and starving. They were handled roughly by the thugs and later released. ee ee | Jail 3 in St. Paal ST.

Ha ane Tron Miners Prepare to Resist Wage Cut IRONWOOD, Mich., Oct. 18—Iron miners of the Newport shaft in Iron- wood, Mich., are preparing to resist the announced wage cut of 10 per cent. The Newport shaft is a prop- erty of the Youngstown Sheet and Tube. About two months ago the miners were cut 8.5 per cent, The bosses had planned to cutythe work- ers 35 per cent but the workers had gone as a group and the company officials thought it best to only cut them fifty cents. Now they are trying to put through part of their original intention of a 25 per cent cut, All of the 52 miners have signed @ petition demanding that the wage Matin it “holds the threat of ac- cumulated debts over each debtor country”—by the United States, and | would thus be a very important | weapon in the hands of the United States in the imperialists struggle.

President Burke of the Pulp and Sul- phite and Papermill Workers Union, timent among the workers. A meet- ing was held of all the unions to that 96 per cent of the workers voted to strike Monday. But Burke, using the tactics usual to all of the fat American Federation of Labor poli- Ucians, tried to stem the sentiment by delay. ‘The strike was postponed a week because, as Burke put it, the “new general manager of the papermill has just started to work and we don’t want to make it too unpleasant for him just at the start.” Previous to this a delegation of workers called on E. W. Backus at his Minneapolis offices in an at- tempt to arbitrate differences. They were told that nothing could be done and that the ten per cent cut would have to go through and that that was not all, but that the untons could get ready to accept another cut of ten per cent a month later. Due to the’strong strike sentiment breaking tactics of Burke, had to retrench. ~ go back to work with the 10 per cent cut.

The strike demands are: No ten per cent cut, no arbitration, free speech, release of the strike pris- oners, recognition of the mill com- mitee, no discrimination. ‘The strikers are also demanding the right to meet on Lawrence Com- mon, where at present the strike breaking U.
