Local 102 is only two years old, It came about as a result of the reor- ganization of 3 local unions that once comprised what was known as Dis- trict Council No. 29. The racketeer leadership of the 3 local unions 917, 1251 and 25, spent thousands of dol- lars, and brought the locals down to such a state of demoralization that the General Executive Board of the Brotherhood sent down President | Kelly to establish “order.’ The char- ters of these locals were withdrawn, the district council was abolished and out of the remains, Local 102 was established. They reduced the en- trance fee to $10.00 and began or- ganizing. Only a few hundred joined. Most of them were old members who found it much easier to join as new members than to pay up their back ny innccent rank and filers who had some regard for the General Executive Board thought at that time that a new era was establshed among the painters, that the thous- ands of shops will be organized, that the scale of wages will be main- tained. They woke up to find that | though the local has been changed the G.E.B. placed into leadership the same bunch of racketeers that were formerly distributed in all the locals | into one local. This situation had its particular effect upon the painters. They be- gan to revolt, bit revolted in the wrong way. Instead of, organizing | broad opposition and driving out these racketeers they, because of the | absence of a left wing leadership, took the easiest road and began | leaving the local by the hundreds. | The fakers became alarmed, their racket was disappearing. Something else happened that made these fakers sit up and take notice. This was the establishment of the Alteration Painters Union. | Little did these fakers anticipate a | local that is daily conducting strug- | gles and showing to the painters the | real road to Union organization. Their organizational drive began officially December 15th. The first step they took was to invade the day | room of the Alteration Painters Lo- | cal. Because there were only 5 or} 6 present at that tme, they were able | to slugg four workers, one of them | 60 years of age. This deed went far to convince the painters that this gang was not out to organize but to} drive the members of the Alteration | Painters Union out of the field. The fakers became frantic. They could not as much as pull one shop} rorize the Alteration Painters Un- icn. Something had to be done. Tu their assistance came the leadership of the New York painters, Dave Shapiro, Council Secretary, Vice- | President Ackerley, who so master- | fully sold out the New York Painters during the General Strike in July, | 1932, the petty labor racketeer Zaus- | ner, and the Labor Editor of the corrupt Forwards. A mass meeting was called at which all of these dignitaries of the speak. Special publicity was given by the Day, the Forwards, and by Detective Beck of Brownsville. But in spite of all of this agitation, only a few workers showed up. The spirit at this meeting was that of a funeral. The fakers got out of their skins trying to arouse some enthusiasm, but it did not work. This mass meet- ing demonstrated very effectively the regard the Brooklyn painters have for Wolner and his cronies. The Alteration Painters Union have learned that the possibilities to organize the painters are great. The painters because of their experience with the racketeers in Brooklyn are ready now more than ever before to join a new class struggle union that has already proven to the workers its ability to lead struggles and to or- ganize workers, We must have more and better planned activities witn which to involve our entire member- ship. The newly elected city council of the Alteration Painters Union must take into consideration all these developments and react to them in such fashion that we will not only reach the unorganized painters but also lay the basis for a broad united Brotherhood and the Alteration Painters Union for a common strug- gle. A struggle not only against the bosses but also against the leadership of the Brotherhood. TO HERD BOYS FOR WAR. WASHINGTON, D.

At the head of the schemes calcu- lated to find a most “economical” solution is the proposal of Senator Cutting who would herd the boys into Federal military camps where they would be available for cannon- fodder whenever the need for de- fending Wall Street’s profits may arise.

At its meeting Monday night, the Zausner and Shapiro machine was present and well organized, and the proposals were turned down and the whole question of relief left to the officers, who have never done any- thing for the jobless members, and never will unless they are forced to do so by the rank and file. The officials promise; the rank and file demand they keep their promise. The proposals were for unemployed members to register in the day room of the local, and for committees to take them to the Home Relief Bur- eau and Emergency Work* Bureau and demand attention for them. The Left Wing Opposition in this local points out to the rank and file that hereafter, unless they want the clique to put over things like the Tejection of these proposals, all rank and filers must come to the meet- ings and be prepared to struggle for their demands, | Walk Out Again When |TImmerman Shop Fires Three for Strike Action NEW YORK.—The workers of the | Immerman Tailoring Shop at 561 5th | Ave. after several wecks strike, won their strike with partial improve- ments of their conditions and recog- nition of the shop committee. The boss evidently thought that after the workers came back to the shop he would be able to break the organization. On Thursday he dis- charged three workers. When the committee came to take up with them the question of reinstating the workers he refused to deal with the committee. The workers as a whole then left the shop and are on strike. The union is determined to carry this strike on until the workers have been reinstated and the workers guaran- and foreign-born. teed the conditions won in the last strike. -s AMUSEMENTS | et Go BEATE Site as CITY MUSIC HALL POLI 4s Music and dance, both classical| New York who are under the un- and» modern, will be an important| fortunate delusion that money raised feature on the new program at the|by the Gibson Committeé is placed Radio City Music Hall when the| in the hands of destitute men and world’s largest theatre swings into| Women.

A. Macharet, a/| newcomer to the ranks of Soviet Union motion picture directors, has created many important new ap- proaches to the solution of the tech- nique of the sound film. His sound film direction was hailed in Berlin as a continuation of the pioneering film work done by Eisenstein, Pudov- kin and Dovzhenko. “Men and Jobs” is the story of a competition between a Soviet shock brigade and an American engineer during the construction of Dniepro- stroi, the giant power plant of Soviet Russia, The picture has been se-' lected by the National Board of Re- view as “an exceptional photoplay.” The double feature program of “Zwei Herzen in Dreiviertel Tacht” and ‘Goethes Jugendgeliebte” is being held over for a second week at the Europa Theatre.

It is patent that by the time the money filtered through the hands of the high-paid executives and the bureaucratic inspectors, there was little left to go around for those act- ually in need. The plan of the bankers’ “block aid” also was conceived by Gibson to compel workers in the neighbor- hoods to give from their almost ex- hausted savings. With the city relief drive directed by Gibson, it could not possibly be other than crooked. For reasons al- ready given, Gibson was not in a position to ask the bankers and the industrialists to aid in the campaign (even if he so desired). The Hand of American Smelting Co.
