DAILY WO U.T.W. Head in Open Move (U to Break Salem Mill Strike SALEM, Mass., May 25.—Efforts to disrupt and defeat the strike of the 1,800 textile | workers in Salem at the Pequot Mill have thus far proven vain. Mayor Bates met the strike committee last Friday, after he had declared he wished to meet the strikers alone.

By LABOR RESEARCH ASSN. Amoskeag Mfg. Co., largest textile toncérn in the United States and owning the largest cotton mill in the! world, has always been ruthless in its treatment of workers. Although about half the workers of Amoskeag were organized between 1919 and 1922 in some ten craft locals of the United Tetxile Workers of America (A. F. of L.) th ebig New England strike of 1922 led to the bréaking of the hold of the U. T. W. and the introduction of a company union, The trusted lieutenants of the mill agents were elected to the “joint committees” under this Tepresentation” scheme, one of the most vicious of its kind ever intro- duced in American tetxile mills. A Company Union for Wage Cuts ‘This compeny was used from 1924 ! over wage cuts, and increasing the speed-up. The number of looms worked by a worsted weaver went up from -two to six while income from the inereased work dropped about $6 a week. In the cotton section the weavers who formerly handled six Jocms on certain kind of work were forced, un@er the company union Jess pay for 54 hours than they h-* previously received for 48, of ten per cent. Other cuts have followed in the same manner, the tools of the company on the “joint committee” always helping the man- agement to effect the cut. tT 1927 the company handed the ers a cuit of ten pér cent as a stinas present. came another out, and in October, 1931, a cut of ten per cent. In 1932 the company tried still another -cut, this one ranging from 10 to 40 per cent. This was so raw that it had to be put over by “suspending” the rules of the company union so that fewer votes were necessary to “accept” the cut. Since then the workers have be- come more and more awakened to the tremendotis hoax of the company union and on January 20, this year, by a vote of 4 to 1 balloted to put the company union out of pusiness. They had previously been trying to use it to secure the restoration of some of the wage cuts. But the company flatly refused, so the workers ended the plan.

WW Workers in one of the plants had revolted against the company union as far back as 1928 when, under the | leadership of the National Textile) Workers Union, 200 weavers of the} Coolidge Mill struck against a cut of| 10 per cent and won certain conces-| sions. Stock Heavily Watered | The Amoskeag Mfg. Co, has always} been tremendously “overcapitalized” the capital having been piled up through the handing of stock divi-| dends to stockholders in addition to generous cash dividends. The largest) stock dividend to the parasites came as the result of its war operations.} The company had shown a net profit during the days of the imperialist! slaughter which reached $7,944,044 in| 1919. On the basis of this surplus of loot the company declared a 100 per cent stock dividend in 1919. Between the years 1907 and 1922 the company had increased its capitaliza- tion, out of profits, from $4,000,000 to $44,500,000. Thus the cash dividend paid out in 1922, for example, was equal to abotit 75 per cent on the capitalization as it stood in 1907. Although the Amoskeag Mfg. Co. itself has not reported net profits since 1929, the holding company—the Amoskeag Co.—that sucks the prof- its out of the operating company, re- cently declared dividends of $2 a shate on common stock and $4.50 a share on the preferred, the payments being made on profits of 1932 and payable July 2, 1933. At the end of 1931 the holding company still had a “reserve for stockholders” of over $15,000,000. At the time of the 1922 strike an official of Amoskeag declared: “It is nothing but Socialism for a person to say that the public has any tight to inquire as to how much money 4 firm makes or how much it lays by for expansion.” ‘The banking control of the com- pany has centered in Kidder, Pea- body and Co., big Boston private bankers and so“gan's representatives ih New England. Members of this firm and of the First National Bank of Boston are on the Amoskeag Board of Trustees as are the representatives of other leading New England banks and corporations. 410 DELEGATES T0 around the two amendments pres- ented by a minority of the Resolu- tions Committee. The report called for the election of committees by each organization to help the strike, iby means of open air meetings and leaflets and to protest police brut- elity to Superintendent of Police Bolan. This was unanimously ad~- opted. ‘The amendment to elect a central guiding committee from the floor to work with Local 505 was opposed by ‘Tubin, of the 8. P. and Schaefer, of the Forward. After considerable dis- cussion the amendment was formu- lated that one representative from each organization be elected to work under the supervision of Local 505. This was unanimously passed. The 2nd amendment calling for _ Telephone Company Pays Dividends; Fires Workers; Cut Pensions NEW YORK.—While declaring its yegular quarterly dividend last week to its stockholders, the American ‘Telephone and Telegraph Co. at the same time laid off hundreds of work- ers who have been in the company’s employ almost all their lives. This is part of the plan of wholesale lay- offs which has been going on for some time under the cover of “eco- nomy” but actually intended to speed up the workers and reduce their own Tabor “costs”. The discharge of the old workers is in complete disregard of the old pension’ plan so loudly advertised by the company to prove its “generosity” to its workers, These workers, now among the jobless, have ample proof of this generosity. The Hudson and Canal St. offices are closing.

The Amalgamated Food Work- efs representative spoke for the am- endment, claiming that the bosses want to use bakers of the Amal- gamated to scab on shops cn strike. He proposed one food workers’ or- ganization. Socialist delegates wanted to delay the question until after the strike saying it was not a question for the delegates but for the bakers to de- cide. The strikers spoke in favor of the amendment also. While the Com- mittee was out to reformulate the amendment, the we-kers sang the International and Solidarity. The amendment finally read “We the delegates assembled here by the | People’s conference for the bakers | trike endorse the policy of Local 505 } With the aim of uniting all bakers |into one strong power against all bosses,” The meeting ended with the sing- ing of the International, 8 8 The Baker's Strike Support Con- ference of Brownsville calls all mass organizations to a Joint Mass Meot- ing to be held tonight, May 26, at 8 p.m. af the Brownsville Labor Ly- cecum, 219 Sackman Strect, Police Attack and Arrest Workers at Meet Backing Bakers NEW YORK.—One woman was héld in $500 bail after being beaten and choked by police who arrested her and two other workers, Jack Reed and Isadore Yentis, at an open air meeting calléd by the Women’s Coun- cil in support of the striking bakers at Schenectady and St. Johns Ave. in Brooklyn yesterday.

The records reveal that the union has been a source of revenue to them 6 years. Most of the expenditures of the local were for high salaries, and hotel expenses for the official Office equipment consisting of two chairs, a desk and a typewriter is listed as having cost $1,298. It is not surprising that MeMahon warn- ed the strike committee that if the ditch. McMahon informed the strike com- mittee that he does not recognize its authority and will order the election of a new committee of 2 from each department which will meet together with the Executive Board and settle the strike. ‘The strikers rejected this proposal unanimously at their last meeting and will maintain their committee to carry on all negotiations with the company. Plans are being made to provide relief for the families of the strikers and a relief committee was elected. Defy Boss Terror In Shoe Workers United Front NEW YORK.—Shoe workers in New York City and Brooklyn are facing a new attack uvon them at the hands of thé bosses who under the most flimsy pretext resort to the discharge of workers in order to provoke trouble and to intimidate the workers in the shops by which method they hope to stop the organization drive now in progress under the banner of the United Front against starvation wages and tong hours of work. The strikers of the Drell Shoe Go. on 7 East 20th Street are picketing not only the Drell shop, but also the Benédict Shoe Co. on 24th Street and 7th Avenue where the Drell Boss has his work done, As a matter of fact the only work done by the Be- nédict Shoe Company is the scab work from the Drell shop, The strikers of ‘the Drell shop who have been’ on the picket line against wage-cuts for the past éight weeks charge that the workers of the Be- nedict Shoe Company are doing strike breakers work and call upon all or- ganized shoé workers to come to the picket line and take a good look at those who insist upon doing scab work, In the strike at the Weissman-Sass shop at 30 Main Street, Brooklyn, the boss fired two workers bécause they refused to have money taken from their meager pay envelop for damaged shoes, for which damages they were not responsible. A com- mitteé demanded the reinstatement of the discharged workers—which the boss refused to do, A meeting of the workers last week decidéd for a strike not only for reinstatement but also for a wage in- crease. The Goodyear operators, the stock fitter and five of the cuttérs, none of whom belong to any union refused to heed the strike call and are doing strike breakérs work.

RKER, NEW YORK, FRIDAY, MAY 26, 1933 By JOHN ADAMS FURRIERS FLOOD MARKET FIGHTING TO DEFEND THEIR UNION FROM AFL, "THE POLICE, BOSSES, AND GANGSTERS NEW YORK.—The furriers, shock workers of the fight to prevent the Roosevelt government from carry- ing out its program of forcing ail but A. F. of L. unions into illegality, carried the fight to new heights yester- day. It was the day set by the Fur Mantifacturers’ Association as the time when all workers must take out cards in the gangster-socialist A. F.¢ of L. union, the International Fur Union. Hundreds of shops were suppused to enforce this ruling. But the de- monstration of thousands of furriers of the Needle Trades Industrial Un- ion on Wednesday, has forced most of the bosses to retreat already. Twenty-two shops tried to enforce the ruling and were met by strikes of the workers. At 1 p.m. yesterday, several shops had already asked for a settlement on the basis of pay for time lost. ‘They signed a statement promising to keep up payments of the unemployment insurance fund and all other existing conditions of the Industrial agreement. The state- ment that they had to sign also bore a paragraph in which they had to pledge “in no way to force the work- ers to join the so-called A. F. of L. fur union.” Promptly at noon yesterday, fif- teen dicks of the industrial squad marched down 30th Street to 7th Avenue escorting two scabs with A. F. of L. leaflets. Thousands of fur- riers stood in the street and booed them. Mounted police and foot police made a cordon on 7th Avenue from 3ist down to 29th streets. The leaflet distributors stood with the cops be- tween 29th and 30th streets. Boo Scabs As the workers marched by tht scabs, they booed them and took the leaflets, standing still and tearing them up. The torn leaflets were thrown in the faces of the scabs and the police. The dicks attempted to beat the workers but were prevented by the solid ranks. One woman-worker stepped up to the scabs, slapped one of them and scratched his face. The workers saved her from arrest. As was the case Wednesday, one of the distributors was a Socialist by the name of Goldberg. The march- ing workers numbered between eight and ten thousand, The demonstra- tion was of more militant character than that of Wednesday. Slogans such as “We don’t want Roosevelt's new deal of gangster unionism—We have our union—Police and gang- sters can’t drive us into the Social- ist-A. F. of L. union,” were shouted. ‘The Needle Trades Industrial Un- ion issued a leaflet which was dis- tributed in the demonstration, Im- mediately thousands of arms were raised in the air with the leafiet. “This is our union —Long live the industrial union”! shouted thousands of voices, A young mechanic walked with me. I asked him what he was doing in the demonstration. He answered: “I read in the ‘Times’ about it yes- terday and understood what they are trying to do, I am in the A. F. of L, and it’s no damn good for us. I don’t want it to get any further. We got to protect this union. It’s @ starter for others like it. It’s a real union.” Old Men Picket In front of a shop on 7th Avenue and 30th Street two grey-bearded old Jewish workers were picketing. They carried industrial union ecards. It was one of the 22 shops that tried TUUC DELEGATES IN IMPORTANT MEET The Trade Union Unity Council delegates meet on Friday night, May 26, at Irving Plaga, 15th Street and Irving Place. The meeting will take up a report on united front strug- gles in the N. Y. trade unions, a spe- cial report on the marine situation urged by the Council to see that their delegates attend this important ses- sion. In view of the Geveiopment in the fur situation, Ben Gold will make a report to the Council. ‘CLOAK OFFICIALS NEW YORK. — Officials of Local 86 of the International Ladies Gar- ment Workers Union at a meeting of their Executive Board on Tuesday refused to permit a committee of eight, members of the Industrial Un- ion, consisting of Koretz, Boruchow- itz, Davidoff, Tuchman, Muchnick, Dvorkin and Weiss to take up prop- osals for unity in the forthcoming cloak strike. Wassielievsky, chairman of the local, informed the committee that the only way to establish unity is for the Industrial Union to liquidate it~ self and become part of the Inter- national. In the meantime the Executive Board meeting was hastily brought to a close, when the officials recog- nized that some members of the Board were strongly inclined towards unity with the Industrial Union. A special meeting is being arranged to mobilize the pressets to force action by the administration on the pro- posals for unity. IF STRIKE TRUCE TERMS ARE NOT MET, WIS. FARMERS WILL FIGHT ON Singler Back from “Fishing Trip” Opposes Any New Strike Action 7 MADISON, Wis., May 25.—Walter M. Singler, who sold out the strike iced the unitéd action of cutters,| of the dairy farmers in Wisconsin last week, and who disappeared on a “fishing trip” during the strike, while the rank and file farmers were get- ting clubbed and gassed on the highways of the state as they prevented milk shipments, is now trying to stage a come-back. about organizing a farmer-owned co-« operative distribution system. This scheme will not be put under way until the “farmers recover from the effects of their six-day strike,” an- nounced Singler. But when it does get going, it is to be affiliated with the American Federation of Labor— that shows how militant it will be in the fight to better conditions for the farmers. Singler Against Strike Weapon. “What we really hope,” said Sing- ler, “is that the farmers will soon have enough strength so that they won't have to strike to get their de- mands listened to.” So to build up their strength this hypocrite turns to—the A.

It seemed that they were very religi- ous workers and had been afraid of the “Communists” of the industrial union when it organized the trade. Now they knew the answer to any remarks about “reds.” “Alright Communist leaders, yes. manufacturer and use the police to organize us. Not a wage-cut since said in answer to my questioning. For two hours they marched. Sing- ing and booing the scabs. Mounted police charged the streets time after time but could not break the ranks. Several were arrested but at a cost to the police protectors of the gang- sters! Down 31st Street in front of the A..F. of L. they marched shouting their answer to the leafiets that called their union a “union of Com- munist sluggers.” Laugh at A. F. of L. Lies The A. F. of L. leaflet yesterday stated that the union had won con- ditions for the workers. This amused the furfiers. A union that is not in the shops and trusted by the workers can win conditions for whom | they asked. “We demand unemployment insur- ancé,” was printed on yesterday's leaflet. Today the furriers expect that the leafiet will state this had been “won.” On paper a lot of things can be promiséd and claimed, but the furriers know who has won and held the gains in the trade; they, the furriers who run their own union. Hollander Driver Denounced Students from the nearby voca- tional school cheered and joined in with the demonstrators. On 28th St. near the union headquarters, a truck of the Hollander Fur Dyeing Corp. unloaded. Thousands jammed the street denouncing the scab drivers of the truck. The Hollander bosses are behind the murderous drive against the industrial union. They had Morris Langer murdered for or- ganizing their workers in Newark re- cently. Another worker, militant, was murdered by the thugs of this company. The chairman of 150 W. 30 St., 345 7th Avenue and 330 7th Avenue, representing 60 large shops of the Associated met and passed a reso- lution, pledging to resist to the ut- most any attempt to force them in- to the A. F. of L., or to lower their conditions in any way. Today at noon, again the market will be flooded by workers, fighting to hold their union. The bosses will be forced further back. The fight will go on to victory.
