Painters Union in New York Worker Who Fought in Recent Hunts Point Strike Tells of Gains Made By J. ROMAN. The recent strike of the painters of Hutns-Point Deco- rating Co., and the Artcraft Decorating Co., which under the leadership of the “Alteration Painters,” was conducted to a victorious end has brought to light a number of points for . consideration. ‘ It has already been proven that organizing the unorgan- ized in times of economical depression is not out of question, but on the contrary, the dispair and discontented mood of the workers render fruitful results. The victorious painters’ strike in question, has shown that this general fact applies to the Rene Dene HA CUR SFL.

Besides demonstrating the possi- bility of organization, the “Hunts- Point” stuike has thrown light on | another point of general significance ~—-In coming in contact with worker's | who lack working class education and | Who are “backward” in class strug- | gle experiences, it is customary to, take an attitude which is perhaps best phrased thus: “You cannot do anything with that bunch.” Meaning Equal division of work and no favoritism. 4...

Well, this is al- ways the case in reaching new stratas of workers, workers who have no pre- vious “working class training” or ex- perience. However it is ridiculous to consider this lack of class-con- sciousness as unsurmountable ob- stacle. ‘Yet it is surprising to learn How often that is considered as such. Although with systematic work it could be readily overcome, The “Hunts-Point” shop was a typical example of such composition of so- called “backward” elements, Ab- solute lack of class-consciousness, lack of class struggle experience, in- dividualism, “gossiping” mutual dis- . trust characterized the elements in the shop. They were the most; illustrious ex- amples of workers most thoroughly poisoned by rotten capitalistic in- fluence. Inspite of all these however, within a few months we succeedd to overcome the above montioned obstacles, those workers so rapidly changed and developed that it is really amazing. They have learned lot about the class struggle in gen- tral, about the need of solidarity and organization; we gained readers for the labor press, they contributed fin- ancially for the Daily Worker, Frei- heit and the strike fund of the “Al- ‘eration Painters” with which they ing discipline of strike committee or any other violation while the strike was on, cannot work until investigated and permitted by the shop committee. It was also agreed upon, that in case no settlement is reached con- cerning some dispute, the boss to- gether with the shop committee ,Should call on the General Organizer of the Alteration Painters to settle the dispute. Speaking in general, the situation is very much ripe for building a strong alteration painters’ union. The | building-boom 1s over.

All painters are called upon to join the Alteration Painters.

The Workers Ex-Servicemen’s League points out that only by mass | militant action of the veterans on/ the class struggle basis, linking their struggles with the unemployed work- ers and workers in the factories, can hte bonus be won. Throughout the country the vet- erans are planning to march under the leadership of the Workers Ex- Servicemen’s League to demand in no wheertain terms that the final half of the bonus be paid a tonce. In New York the veterans will march on April 15. In Chicago the date of march has been set for April 16.

This meeting called by the veterans of foreign wars must find fearless defenders beyond the conrtol of capitalists and politicians.” The voting showed every ex- soldier in favor of immediate cash payment of the bonus. A question was put if any American Legion- aires were present who opposed the bonus. One got up and stated that “I will never again sapport the Legion and not pay a cent in dues.” The report is that scores dropped out of the Legion at the meeting. This meeting is an indication of the growing revelt among the ex- soldiers for compensation and the sentiment for federal Unemploy- ment Insurance.
