The meeting took place last Thurs- day, Local 2 in the afternoon and} 325 meeting in the evening. At the| Local 2 meeting Wolf urged that the| workers work with the employers as one unit and tried to show the ad-} vantages of such “cooperation.” Wolf, however, was quickly exposed by speakers for the rank and file who showed that “cooperation” with the employers meant wage cuts and/ elimination of union conditions which | the employers had already begun.| Members of Local 325 were present} as the meeting of Local 2 was going | unanimously rtejected | on. Local 2 Wolf's proposals. In the evening, Burson tried to put over Wolf's treacherous scheme in Local 325. But the membership thoroughly understood the entire Scheme, and attacked Burson’s pro- posal. It was at this point that Fine- stone came to Burson’s assistance and tried by clever demagogy to fool the membership. Forced to Leave But the indignation of the union members was so great that they were preparing to exclude these officials from the meeting. Before this took Place, however, both of them decided to leave. The members of 325 unani- mously decided to answer the boss attack with the strike which is now going on. The strike is now being conducted against the following establishments: On Pitkin Ave., Hoffman, Parkway, Sokol and Pitkin. On Sutter Ave., Leviathan, Globe, Ruttland and Road. On Graham Ave., Canton. The most unscrupulous methods, Tully rivaling the methods of the A. | FP. of L. officials are being used by the employers against the strikers. In addition to hired sluggers used to in- timidate the strikers, the employers have signs carried in front of the cafeterias reading, “We favor Union Men.” At the same time, the win dows are plastered.up with streamers reading, “Eat Today at Half Price, We Favor Union Help.” | Strike sympathizers and all work- ers are warned not to place any cre- dence in these declarations to give full support to the strikers who are} tighting the mast outrageous and un- scrupulous attack by the employers, Further and more complete details eleading up to the strike, as well as news of the strike itself will appear each day in the Daily Worker.

The millinery workers are urged to oust the betrayers in spite of their attempt to control the elections by appointing an “objection election committee” to count the votes, The policy of the present union officials, who work hand in hand with the bos- ses, is one of wage cut, reorganiza- tions and discrimination, and driving the unemployed blockers from the trade.

Metal Spinners Rebel Against Czar Brooks; M.W.I.U, Gives Help NEW YORK. — A rank and file meeting of about 100 was held Tues- lay at Stuyvesant Casino to organize stop the wrecking activities of Business Agent Brooks, in the Metal Spinners Union. This business agent was working 4 hand in hand with the bosses against annual | the interests of the members of the’ local. He was instrumental in firing a number of workers from their jobs just because they had the courage to criticize him at the union meetings. He fined heavily a number of mem- bers of the union who did not act according to his liking. The Metal Workers Industrial Unt- on was called upon by a number of rank and filers to help them. As a result of this, the meeting that was held at Stuyvesant Casino unanim- ously decided to keep the organize- tion intact, drive Mr. Brooks out and establish the contro] of the rank and | fle over the organization.

Important Correction! NEW YORK.—In listing organiza- tions supporting the Albany State Conference for Unemployment In- surance and labor legislation, the Daily Worker, through listing inde- pendent union in a separate para- graph, omitted the caption: “Inde- pendent Unions,” thus creating the impression that these independent unions were listed under the cap- tion: “T.U.U.L. Unions.” ‘The error has been called to the | attention of the Daily Worker by Joseph Zack, Secretary of the T.U. UC. In correcting the error the Daily Worker calls attention to the fact that the following unions are in- dependent, unaffiliated organizations: ‘The Alteration Painters Union, The Independent Carpenters, The Union of Technical Men, Railroad Brother- hood Unity Movement, Independent Meat Cutters Union, and Pharma- cists Union of Greater New York. Due to an error in last Thursday’s Daily Worker, Plumbers Lecals 1 and 463 were listed as endorsing the Cons ference for Labor Legislation, There were no official delegates of these locals present but a rank and file representation from many plumbers locals. Salvationists Make Neat Profit on Ticket NEW YORK.—Milking the unem- ployed out of their Jast pennies for food and lodging, and then ont from the city for this “charity,” is the regular “Christian” practice of the Salvation Army, as told by James Riley, an unemployed worker. Riley procured a ticket issued by the Central Registration Bureau for Homeless Men, and went with it to the Salvation Army at 225 Bowery. The ticket entitles the bearer to a 10 cent meal and 35 cents for lodging. For each one so served the Salvation Army collects from the city the above amount in full, But, when he presented the ticket to the 8. A., Riley was given a 5-cent ticket in return for which he could only buy coffee and crullers. When he applied for a key to his room, for which he had a receipt, he was told that the room had already been sold. When Riley tried to protest, he was threatened with violence by the offi- cial in charge. A policeman stood right by and heard the whole thing, including the threats, but did nothing. USSR REJECTS JAPAN DEMAND The Associated Press reports that the Soviet Government hes rejected a demand by the Japanese Govern- ment that V, Molotofi, chairman of the council of commissars, retract a statement that Japanese Foreign Minister Uchida was seeking to dis- rupt Japanese-Soviet relations by the constant repetition of anti-Soviet falsehoods, repeatedly disproved by the Soviet Government. 100 Arrested in Raids on Jobless Forum in Chicago CHICAGO, Ill, Feb. 1—Mayor Cermak’s police in their drive against | the unemployed took on @ more vi- cious turn today as they raided and padlocked the Washington Forum and the Unemployed Council in a thickly populated Negro section on the south side. More than 100 were arrested in these raids. The indignation of the | Workers is manifesting itself in great activity toward organizing new ace tions against the city administration and for immediate relief.

All speakers stressed the fact that the conditions in the dress trade have been reduced to a point where workers in some instances, such as in Connecticut, work for 2c a day; that this condition in the trade was brought about by the contractors and jobbers with the help of the official- dom of the I.L.G.W.U., that this con- dition cannot be changed by bring- ing in racketeers but on the contrary, racketeering will only serve to inten- sify the exploitation of the workers. They spoke of the shop strikes that are now being conducted by the Un- ity Committee of LL.G.W.U. mem- bers and the Industrial Union as the only way for improving conditions. ‘The call for one united general strike against the bosses and racketeers aroused the greatest enthusiasm.

On Tuesday after- noon and Wednesday morning, 25 ad- ditional shops were declared on strike. A number have already set- tled and negotiations for additional settlements are going on, In every instance the workers receive partial increases in prices, reduction of hours, the right to the job and union recognition, The Unity Committee calls on all dresgmakers working in open shops not to wait but to immediately bring their complaints to the office of the Industrial Union.
