| 7 Roosevelt Spurs Basic Industry Codes AIM TO UTILIZE Roosevelt Has Blanket Code Ready for All Plants WASHINGTON, July 19.—Concen- | tration of code-making in the war | industries, particularly shipbuilding, steel coal, electrical and chemical, is being pressed under the direction of | General Johnson and President Roosevelt. Roosevelt took # step further towards a blanket slave code for all indus- tries, pending the adoption of indivi- | dual codes, by having such a code} drawn up and ready for application. | Meanwhile the ground is being pre- pared by a wartime propaganda cam- Paign. Yesterday, before the meeting of the super-cabinet, President Roose- velt discussed with Charles F. Horner, | Sponsor of the “four minute” speaking | campaign during the World War, the | highly developed plans for a new| drive of this character in order to arouse patriotic fervor for the blanket | code and for the individual slave | codes, This “four minute” drive, together with a barrage of poster advertising, radio speeches, and special newspaper | articles, will not be restricted to the | industrial “recovery” act, but will be | used to arouse war sentiment to aid the Roosevelt war program. POSTOFFICE SUBS MARCH IN FIGHT AGAINST PAY CUT NEW YORK.—Eight hundred post office substitute employes marched four abreast down Broadway Tues- day to gain support for their de- mands and present them to Mayor O'Brien and Commissioner of Pub- lie Welfare Taylor. Both officials pcssyfooted on the/ demands which called for a $20 | weekly minimum pay for substitutes, | repeal of the 15 per cent wage cut which went into effect last April, filling out of existing vacancies in the Post Office Department and a thirty hour week with no reduction in pay for all “regulars.” With banners flying and band plaving the parade came into City Hall plaza where a delegation of fifteen was told by the mayor's secretary that they would have to wait anywhere from two to three hours. The merch proceeded to the office of Commissioner Taylor who saw the three representatives and received a list of the neediest cases, promising to give them his “utmost consideration.” ‘When good times return,” he stated, “there will be a larger budget allocated and we'll be able to offer more assistance.” A delegation of fifteen returned to City Mall and finally secured the interview with O’Brien in the corridor before his private office. When told of conditions under which 87 per cent of these men, re- ceiving an average weekly salary of six dollars, have three or more de- pendents to support, he replied that “This is strictly a federal matter and outside my province.” Asked to support the petition of the postal employees as an individual, he said he would give the matter his “ut- most consideration.” Boss Fires Cutter, Hires 16 Year-Old Who Loses Finger By a Worker Correspondent NEW YORK.—Firing an experi- enced cutter to take on a beginner at a lower wage, the Melrose Doctors’ | and Nurses’ Coat Co., of 387 Fourth Avenue, brought about the loss of a finger to the youth hired. The boy, a 16-year-old high school student, lost the finger while using the cutting machine. He is now in Bellevue Hospital, where attempts are being made to graft skin from his leg to his hand.

WORKERS CALLED TO MEET TONIGHT ON CODE. | NEW YORK—A meeting of all members of the Amalgamated Cloth- ing Workers of America has been called by the Amalgamated Cloth- ing Rank and File Committee for tonight at 6:30, at 126 University Place. The meeting will take up the important question of what shall be the workers’ demands to be presented by the workers’ rank and file dele- gates at the hearing on the clothing code to be held next Monday in Washington. The rank and file committee points ‘ that only mass picketing can win the strike now going on at the Rogers Peet shop, 13th Street and Broadway. So far this has not been done, but the strikers, who are Ita- lian workers, are mately given talks by business agents, whose appeals for workers’ solidarity consists in adyice to “learn a lesson from that great leadev Mussolini,” as one busi- ness agent said in a speech yesterday. WIN JULY RAISES IN 32 FUR SHOPS NEW YORK.—July increases of $5 and $10 a week have been put into effect in 32 fur shops, in accord- ance with the agreement won by the fur section of the Needle Trades Workers Industrial Union. The raises | are the result of the campaign now being carried on by the furriers, in which capacity shop meetings are held every day. In the meantime registration of the unemployed furriers is going on at the union headquarters on the first floor at 131 West 28th street, so they can be placed on jobs as soon as possible. Unemployed furriers are urged to register and also to join the struggle against the clause put into the code by the fur manu- facturers for 12 hours overtime, which would deprive the unemployed of a chance to find work. Needle Trades Union Committee Leaves for Washington Hearing NEW YORK.—The committee of the Needle Trades Workers Indus- trial Union, consisting of Louis Hyman, J, H. Cohen and J. Boro- chowitz, left for Washington last night to appear at the hearings on the cloak code, The office of the Needle Trades Workers Industrial Union received a telegram from Bar] Dean Howard, deputy administrator in Washington, stating that arrange- ments have been made for the com- mittee’s appearance at the hearings, | | TALK UNION; 24 FIRED FROM SHOP {CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) throughout the plant. The company’s treachery in firing the toolroom staff which was only putting into practice its “legal rights” has aroused wide- spread indignation. The workers must answer the company, not-by re- treating, but by carefully building up an organization in every department, using methods that are secret and safe. From these organized groups, they must elect a broad committee of honest and tested workers, to pre- sent demands for increased wages and reinstatement of fired workers. By carrying out an unflinching fighting policy the aviation workers are bound to win.” Protests Treatment of Toilers Using Automat To the Editor: I should like to call the attention of the workers to the conditions in the worker-supported Automats. In the one at 31st St. and Broadway, which is, like all the others, patron- {zed almost exclusively by workers, one who Sits and rests several min- utes after he has finished eating is offensively ordered to leave by the manager. Workers who wish to rest Yor a few minutes after working are driven from the place. Another aspect of the Automat is their treatment of Negroes. Negro workers who corne in Automats dur- ing the hours when waitress service is effective are refused service. Re- cently a Negro official of the ¥. M. C. A. was awarded a judgment from the courts after he had been refused service in the Horn and Hardart chain. "i The Food Workers’ Industrial Union should penetrate the Auto- mats and change these conditions of Jim-Crowism and offensive treatment of workers. Meanwhile, workers should protest these, conditions. 8. BROOKS. Have you approached your fel- low worker in your shop with a copy of the ‘Daily?

Open Shon Is Provided in Both of Them WASHINGTON, July 19.—Two sets of slave codes will be drawn up for the coal industry, it was decided to- day, at a meeting of the coal oper- ators here. One will be for the North and another for the Southern soft | | The model for the coal code will be | that submitted by the steel trust, with | wages to suit the needs of the oper- | ators in different parts of the coun-| try. | The most outstanding feature of the | coal codes will be a provision for the | open shop. In order to achieve this| end, the coal operators are copying the company union provision of the | steel trust code. Even though the coal code will contain the provisions re- quired in the codes about the right of the workers to choose their own unions, it will be specifically stated that the company union will rule. In those districts where the U. M. W. A. is now acting as the company union, the coal bosses will make it part of the labor organization of the | code | Each coal operator will be given | the freest hand to work out either the company union plan or establish re- lations with the John L, Lewis outfit.

Socialist Manager of Millinery Local Backs Boss Against Girls (By a Millinery Worker Correspondent.) NEW YORK, N. ¥.—I am a mem- ber of Local‘ 24, the millinery union of the A. F. of L. The girls were faced with a lock out, because they had the nerve to make a stoppage over the heads of the officials and the bosses. Conditions were unbearable. The boss got a man from the Associa- tion to bulldoze the girls. But the girls knew better than to let them- selves be provoked. Spector, the manager of the Un- a crime, we broke the agreement, we went against the rule and regu- lation of the union. The agree- ment calls for no stoppages, no strikes. When they called the well known 24 hour strike they didn’t tell us anything about stoppages afid strikes. Yes the agreement calls for the 40-hour week for piece work- lers, $1 an hour, $35 for week work- ers and time and a half for over- sennee time, no work on Saturdays. How many points did we get of this agreement? Yes, what the agree- ment has for the bosses they get iwith the help of the union officials. He then sent us to the impartial chairman, Dr. Abelsome of the bos- ses’ association. He is a millinery manufacturer himself but got the position as the impartial chairman for the Union and the Association, so he gave up business, Instead of taking our boss to re- sponsibility for insulting us, for kicking tus around as though we were dogs, Spector had the nerve to say that although he ditin’t be- lieve Dr. Abelsome can give a just decision still that is the rule of the union, When we came there, Mr. Spector delivered a revolutionaty speech ahd made all kinds of tricks. He would make @ good actor. Only Mr. Spec+ tor was allowed to speak, Dr. Abel- ing us a chance to say boo. All the girls were to be fired. Spector stoppéd the operators, but not the blockers. The workers were deéter- mined to strike but in local 2 you cannot strike. A settlement was prepared the same day. Spector told the workers all kinds lof lies that the Association would get a 8 ons against the Union etc. The workers went back with the understanding that they will be teinstated put the next day they were told to take orders and like it The workers answered that they went back on one condition, and LABOR UNION MEETINGS KNIT GOODS WORKERS.—Woerkers of Bast New York and bet yt to meet tonight (Thursday) at 1813 in Avenue at 6 p.m. Workers of Bronx sttan meet tonight at 131 West 28th Bt; at @ pam.

The farmers show great mil- itancy. At the meetings round the coun- tryside we had a little talk after- wards on city conditions. We were careful to stress the necessity of the farmers and workers breaking down the barriers erected between them and to unite for common struggle.
