DAILY WORKER, NEW YORK, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 193 trp Page Three —_ AMALGAMATED FAKERS HELP SLASH PAY OF GOLDMAN CO. TAILORS Hillman Helped Bosses Cut Wages 5 to 65 Per Cent in Six Months Workers Must Organize Rank and File Shop Committees to Prevent More Cuts (By a Worker Correspondent) NEW YORK.—Wnm. P. Goldman, one of the biggest men’s tlothing factories in the city, has been the scene of many wage its in the past six months. Workers had hardly had time to breathe from one reduction when the next one came in. Hillman’s machine controlling the shop as a “Union” shop helped the manufacturer right the workers. along in reducing the wages of We can generally state that in six months the workers’ wages in the W. P. Goldman has been reduced from 8 to 50 per cent and in some cases to 65 per cent. iberg the manager, .with the consent afd agreement of the Mon- ett, Reich, Hillman’s machine chooses who should be the one to come back fm the shop at the beginning of 4 néw season and who aré the unde- sitable elements. Such was the case Yast Season. “Those who have not received postal cards cannot start to work again in this shop,” was the cry of Mr. Rosenberg. The protest of the discharged workers were not con- sidéred by Rosenberg nor by Hillman and his henchmen. Special Reduction to Become General. The Amalgamated in league with thé manufacturers has specialized in working up all sorts of schemes to put across wage cuts in the shops. Last week, 600 special suits came in the shop to be manufactured. Reich, the uniorl representative, made it his business to save Mr. Rosenberg from weitig bankrupted. He came to the ahd announced that “these aré odds and ends,” meaning the 600 suits. This was @ little too much for a tailor to swallow. “How ean it be odds and ends when there ate as high as 125 suits?” But Reich insisted, and after all he is a “union” representative and “surely” knew what he was talking about. This fol- Yowed with the demands that the véestmakers were to make these spe- cial suits-at 15 per cent léss than the price they were getting previously. “The coat makers have agreed upon it,” stated Reich. “I advise you to make thé work at 4 reduced price o and don’t make a rumpus about it.” No shop meeting called, even though the workers demanded it. The union local had not decided upon it, yet the wage cut of 15 per cent has been pushed upon the workers. Hillman Victories. Mr. Rosenberg, being a good friend of the union officials, gave them a chance to “fight against wage cuts.” In the pants shop, Mr. Rosenberg demanded a reduction of 25 per cent, however the union officials agreed upon 12% per cent. These are the victories of Hillman and his satellites. Some of the Wm. P. Goldman work- ers believe that this reduction will only be for the “600 special suits,” however, they shall not be surprised to find ouf that this will be¢ome an- other general reduction, put across in @ cléver manner by the firm and the union politicians, Must Fight Wage Cuts. At the re-opening of the shop as @ procedure more Workérs will lose their jobs. More réductions will be introduced in every department un- less the workers begin to organize into Rank and File shop groups for a decisive struggle against reduction in wages and reorganization. Or- ganize now. Unite in the shops as workers against the bosses and their agents. Get in touch with the Rank and File Committee, 83 E. 10th St., as Only this way can we prevent more wage ctits, more misery and starva- tion of the Wm. P. Goldman workers.

J., Nov. 16.—Thurs- day a demonstration organized by the Young Textile Pioneers, the National Textile Workers Union and the Un- employed Council was held before the offices of the board of education. A delegation went in to demand one hot lunch a day for school children. The board of education tried to avoid the isstie, but was pressed to the wall by the delegation, whose spokes- man, M. M. Brown, forced them to listen to evidence of starvation of children. A motion to grant the de- mand of the demonstrators was de- feated by the board of education. A demagogic proposal by the board was made, that the city unemployment officials be requested to provide one | hot meal a day for school children, after school hours, when most of the children can not.take advantage of it. ‘The action of the board was con~ demned by the open hearing held November 13.

As a fore-runner to this booing of Mayor Cermak at the bicycle race in Chicago a few days is the latest reception hungry workers have given “their” public reception, ex-Mayor Thompson was so pérsistently booed by the workers at Washington Park Forum that he hed to discontinue his speech. Ex-Mayor Marshall of Cleveland was many times booed in the chambers of the City Council, once so long that the scheduled meeting of the City Council had to be abandoned. In Phila- delphia, “Hooey” Hoover was jeéred until his fat cheeks, hanging over his immaculate collar, became red with rage. The contrast of the two opposing world systems is clearly reflected in these incidents. Nobody—not even Matthew Woll or Norman Thomas— could imagine Russian workers booing @ local commissar, say, Kalinin or Stalin. The Russian workers have an admiration and respect for their leaders that the bourgeoisie can never hope to attain. ‘The reason for this is that the Russian workers (because they own the government) have - cial insurance, and are without the starvation and misery that faces the American workers. However, the workers in the United States, living in constant poverty, are very much dissatisfied with the bosses’ “relief” schemes and charity rackets. Because of this, our movement has a splendid basis for organizing masses of workers in their own interests, to fight for $150 immediate winter relief and unemployment insufance. In this field we have no com- petition. The Socialists, Musteites and other fakers who “talk” about unemployment insurance want the workers to bear-the burden of the economic crisis. Only the revolutionary movement fights for an insur- ance fund to be administered, without discrimination, to the workers, by the workers and at the expense of the bosses and thelr government. ‘We must use the National Hungar March to Washington on D5ecemi- ber 6 and 7 to build up a powerful movement against starvation.

Many workers’ families have headed South, begging their way, hoping to escape the coming winter in the North without food, fuel and shelter, only to find conditions there so bad that words cannot expréss the hor- rors. Workers, those that have work, getting 10 cents per hour; cotton fiélds| rottening| inj the fields un- touched; oil wells idle; farms de- serted; industry at a standstill, and the highways lined with homeless and destitute workers and farmers with their families as well. Begging, steal or borrow, it won't work in the South. The very best that can be got out of any of these local charity fakers, who are all connected with the po- lice, is @ couple of gallons of gas and ofders to move on. ‘The writer spéaks from experience. Charities In Dirty Trick. At Towa City, Towa, a family of three children was stranded in the Cabin Camps, East Iowa City, and the social service bureau of that city having a hot time trying to shake the responsibility. They didn’t even have a cat left to get out of town with. ‘They had to feed them or let them starve, and for the great university town of Iowa these wasn't such good advertisement, not after the people Bive teh charity racketeers thousands of dollars to care for the unem- ployed. So they had to figure a way out. They popped on the idea of having the husband arrested for not having his children in school and threatened to put them in the State Orphanage at Davenport, Towa. A sister in Wisconsin came to the res- cue and took the children atid their mother away. The father went down the road alone and is headed for St. Louis to join the Reds, he said, and somne people that will get up and fight.- So it’s no easy matter to keep out of trouble for these workers who have hit the toad, not to mention getting any help from anyone any place. The only place to get real help is right where we are, right here, and now is the time, right now, to form an un- employed council and affiliation with the T.U.U.L, and well organized, rev- olutionary unions, and on together fight for our rights. JAPANESE PUSHING WAR TCWARDS SOVIET BORDER; GIVE ANSWE (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) Scripps-Howard foreign editor: “From a military attache here with several years’ experience in the Far East the writer learns that Japan has been preparing inten- sively for the past decade against the day she would step out to achieve her destiny, That destiny, the Japanese admit, at a minimum, is control over Manchuria and Mon- golia,” Japan Constantly Rushing New Troops. Abandoning all pretense of keeping her forces in Manchuria below the treaty limit, Japan is rushing rein- forcements of all arms, and is plan- ning to increase her bombing activi- ties, which have already taken the lives of hundreds of Chinese workers and peasants, including women and children. A Tokio dispatch reports: “The ministry of war was under- stood today to be planning the dis- Patch of a fleet of large bombing planes to Manchuria to reinforce Japanese troops fighting the Nonni River sector.” The Japanese consul at Téitsihar has left that city in preparation of an air attack by the Japanese on its inhabitants. A dispatch from Tsit- sihar to the New York World-Tele- gram declares: “In a hasty conversation, Con- sul Shimidzu said he intended to return as soon as thé situation has been clarified. HE ADDED THAT, SO FAR AS HE WAS ABLE TO R ON NOVEMBER 21 ted States, British and French gov- érnments. These statements have been quoted extensively in the Daily Worker during’ the past few days. [That the Japanese know beforehand the results of the League Council meeting has also beer shown by the Daily Worker. The following state- ment in a dispateh from Tokio fur- ther proves this: “Japan's attitude toward the meet- ing of the League Council in Paris tomorrwo was summed up by 4 spokesman for the Foreign Office to- night in these words: ‘The League cannot save its facé at the expense of Japan’.” The spokesman, who is referred to a@ scoming from a conference with Foreign Minister Shidehara, further stated: “The League might recommend direct negotiations between China and Japan. That is about the only thing it can do. We have been in- sisting on that course from the start.” Imperialist Plans Further Exposed ‘The Daily Worker has pointed out all along that the imperialist bandits in the so-called League of Nations were backing the Japanese moves un- der the agreement initiated by the United States whereby the imperial- ists attempted to subordinate the clash of interests bewteen themselves to the greater antagonism against the Soviet Union with its successful socialist construction and growing appeal to the hungry masses in the OBSERVE, GENERAL MA HAD RECEIVED NO AID FROM THE SOVIETS.” (Emphasis ours—Daily Worker.) Japanese Continue Anti-Soviet Lies In spite of repeated exposures of their lies that the Soviet Union has beén aiding Ma with troops and munitions, the Japanese continue to spread their anti-Soviet lies. This they are doing in an attempt to cover up their hostile moves against the Soviet Union, and build up a justi- fication in advance for the planned attack on the Soviet Union. These lies are peddled in the crudest form, as, for instance, the following state- ment in a dispatch from Mukden: “Japanese consulate sources said tension with Soviet Russia was in- creasing. and charged that many Chinese, Koreans and other Com- munist “partisans had left Soviet territory to aid the Chinese in Heilungkiang. The Soviet arranged for -raiiroad -traffic to reach Tsitsihar unobserved and the Chi- nese Eastern was transporting sol- diers for General Ma, it was, al- leged. The Chinese have vigorously denied receiving aid from Russia.” Evidently Japanese Consul Shimid- zu at Tsitsihar had not received his instructions from the War Office when he told a United Press cor- respondent that, “So far as he was able to observe, General Ma had re- ceived no aid from the Soviets.” Sees No Sign of Soviet Aid ‘The United Press correspondent, Frederick Kuh, who made a five-day tour of Siberia, not only reports he saw no military preparations on Sov- jet territory, but reports from Tsit- sihar that a box of Russian cigarettes on a table in General M&’s Office was “the only indication I saw through~- out the trip of the so-called “Soviet influence.” . General Ma, reputed to be a rich Jand owner, has indignantly and “pa~ triotically” denied that he had re- ceived or would accept aid from the Soviet Union. General Ma's secret- ary, Lew, is reported in the New York World-Telegram yesterday as citing “the Dutch Consul at Harbin, Vander Hoeven, as declaring after a visit to Tsitsihar Saturday that he had failed to find any basis for the allegations, and said this confirmed the findings of American, British and other officials who had made similar investigations at Tsitsihar and the Nonni River zone.” Japanese Fan War Flames ‘The Japanese, however, continue to spread their lies and the capitalist press tn all the imperialist countries continue to perform their role of helping the Japanese to play up the: Red bogey as a justification for the Japanese occupation of Manchuria and the increasing war moves against the workers and peasants’ socialist republic, Deliberately fanning the flame of the new world war, the Japanese mil- itary conducted a demonstration of Japanese civilians and soldiers in Mukden yesterday. As on Armistice Day, the central point of the demon- stration was the Mukden Memorial erected in memory of the Japanese Killed in the war 25 years ago be- tween the two imperialisms of Janan and Russia, before the Russian mas- ses overthrew their imperialists and erected a workers and péasants gov- ernment, which while prepated to de- fend its own soil has conclusively shown it has no designs on the land of other peoples. A battalion of Jap- anese soldiers stood rigidly at atten- tion for hours as the demonstrators swept past the military headquarters. A Mukden dispatch to the New York Times reports the presence of 1,000 Chinese merchants in the demon- stration, Japan Sees Langue Accepting Her Position That the meeting of the League Council which convened in Paris yes- terday will support Japan's aggres- sions in Manchuria and further push. the plans for the dividing up of China and Wat against the Soviet ‘Union has beén clearly shown in dis- patches in the capitalist press during the past few days, including admis- sions by leading officials of the Uni- imperialist construction. The expo- sure of the imperialist aims by the Daily Worker has been confirmed many times within the past month and again in the following statement in a Japanese ‘newspaper, the Asaki Manichi, of Tokyo: “Representatives of the foreign banks and other business houses here, including three Americans, two French and 15 Britishers, to- day met at the building of the Na- tional City Bank (in Mukden) and adopted a resolution placing full confidence in the measures taken by the Japanese forces for the maintenance of peace and order. “It was decided at the meeting to send a report to the following effect to the home governments: “The economic conditions of Manchuria will be bettered if Gen- eral Chang Hsueh-liang does not come back to Mukden. The Mukden government has been sending 70,- 000,000 yuan to Nanking annually, and the stoppage of this alone will greatly improve the economic con- ditions in Manchuria’.” In the same -issue, the. Japanese newspaper carried an editorial in which it stated: “She (Japan) will not loosen her stip upon the neck of the wily Chinese bent upon swindling, un- til and unless they sincerely repent their offenses and promise in good falth to abide by the pledges they themselves have made in treaties.” Soviet Organ Sees Attack Maturing ‘The advance of the Japanese Northward ahd the steady pouring of Japanese troops into Manchuria is interpreted by the Soviet ‘Trade Un- ion organ “Labor” as “foreshadowing @ combined imperialistic attack on the Soviet Union and a struggle with- in the League (of Nations) for divi- sion of China, using Japan as a pre- text.” A Shanghai dispatch reports that Chinese circles have been greatly im- Pressed by the answer of the Soviet government to a recent note from Japan. The dispatch says: “The clear and straightforward answer given by the Vice-Commis- sar for Foreign Affairs of the Sov- iet Union, Comrade Karakhan, on behalf of the government of the Soviet Union to the Japanese Am- bassador Hiroto, has made a deep PITTSBURGH Remember DR.

The press-points out that no other State has addressed Japan in such plain language in connection with the occupation of Manchuria, It it feared that the Japanese intend to intensify the Manchurian con- flict by spreading slanderous alleg- ations concerning the attitude of the Soviet government.” Split In British Camp A London dispatch indicates a split in the camp of British imperialism over the Hoover -formula for sup~ porting Japan. The Liberal Man-~ chester Guardian is reported to be instituting a bitter campaign against Japan, which, it says, should be ‘brought to heel’ unless it confirms to the Kellogg Pact... The Consery- ative Telegraph comes out, on the other hand, in support of Japan. In the meantime, the League of Nations Council is certain to support the Hoover formula.” A Mukden dispatch reports that Henry Pu Yi( who as Hsuan Tung. once was China's boy-Emperor, is in that city while the Japanese and their Chinese tools are pushing their plans to establish him as puppet em- peror of Manchuria. Tailors in the Manchurian capital are reported to be engaged in fashioning of yellow dragon flags of the old Manchu dyn- asty. The new bannets are said to differ from the old by the inclusion of the red rising sun, the emblem of Japan, in addition to the Manchu dragon. The dispatch states: “Prince Kung also was reported to be rallying surviving Manchu princes and Mongolian chieftains formerly loyal to the Mancha house under his standard, which certain Japanese adventurers were said 16 be supporting.” Annual Ball of the Thanksgiving Eve WEDNESDAY, NOV. 25 At GIRARD MANOR HALL 911 WEST GIRARD AVE, DANCING FROM 2 P.M. to 1 AME To Keene Orchestra 10 Famous Negro Players Admission 50c, including wardrobe JUST OUT SOVIET PICTORIAL Sixty Latest Soviet Photon.
