Millberg and Lipman, underwear company, now on strike under the leadership of the Needle Trades Workers’ Industrial Union, have brought sufficient results to give en- couragement to the strikers to con- tinue the fight until complete vic- tory is achieved. In the shop of Lip- man, the firm was willing to grant the demands with the exception. of the recognition of the union, but the strikers rejected this and decided to fight it out until full recognition is granted. Also the shop of J. & 3. Millberg, the firm, although unwill- ing onthe first day of the strike to listen to any committee, was forced to negotiate with the strike commit- tee elected by the workers. The firm was willing to grant some increases to the’ cutters, but not to the girls. The rariks of the strikers are solid to force the bosses to concede to their. demands. The news about the J. & S. Mill- berg and Lipman shops spread like wild-fire among the white-goods workers, and particularly among those who are members of Local 62 of the International Ladies’ Garment Workers’ Union, and in every shop the workers are talking New committees are coming up tod the office of the Industrial Union, asking for help and assistance in a fight against the speed-up system and against their miserable condi~ tions. A mass meeting of white- goods workers is being arranged for next week, where the whitegoods workers will act upon a workers’ code prepared by the White-goods De- partment of the Needle Trades Work- ers’ Industrial Union as against the code of the bosses, which provities for starvation wages and a 40-hour week, At this meeting the white- goods workers will also be called upon to lay the basis for a broad shop conference, at which the question of initiating a broad campaign against the check-off system will be taken up. In the meantime, the white- goods workers are called upon to basing their” complaints to the union. BATHROBE STRIKE VOTED BY 1,200 NES? YORX —An enthusiastic meoting of 1,200 bathrobe workers. held on Monday night, voted unani- mousiy to (strike for higher wages, exer hours, unemployment insur- ance and elimination’ of the sweat- shop. A committee of 50 was elected. which, together with the Trade Board, will constitute the strike com. mittce. $ The. strike committee was given full power to call the strike whén- ever it will find it necessary. The committee was elso authorized to elect a sub-committee, which is to go to Washington to present a workers’ edde a5 against the code. presented by the bosses. The demands include recognition of the union, minimum wage scales for every craft, week work, a 35-hour week and unem- ployment insurance. The meeting was addressed by Gold, Potash, Stallman, Di Fazio and Murgia. The spirit of the meeting was excellent. Murgia, a rank and file worker, made a spirited appeal ta the bathrobe workers, stating that {t is impossible to continue any longer under the present miserable tondifons, and demanded that--a strike should be called as soon-as Passible. es - Farlor Frame Strike™ Picketing Goes On NEW YORK.—The generai strike of several hundred parlor frame workers is carrying on.

(A. F. of L.) to call for last Monday night, at Web- ster Hall, resulted in the membership voting almost unanimously to borrow $5,000 from the local’s funds to pay the dues of unemployed members. The only votes against the motion awere five of the old corrupt admin- istration. The meeting Monday came as a result of the local’s president, Mad- dock’s action at a meeting last Thursday night. He then declared that the orders of the International heads, in a letter to the union, said the local’s bonding company refused to permit funds to pay the dues of the unemployed. The letter prac- tically spelled expulsion for the un- employed. Maddock also refused to allow the letter to be read, and uickly adjourned the meeting at that time amidst the boos of the membership. Maddock was obviously afraid to come to Monday’s meeting. Several who fivored ousting the unemployed were forced to speak for the payment of the dues because of the strong sentitnent for such action in the ranks of the members. It is worth noting that two Social- ist secretaries, Julius Gerber, secre- tary of the City Committee of the Socialist Party, and Joseph Tuvim, secretary of the Labor Committee of the Socialists, were not present at either Monday’s or Thursday’s meet- ing. The attack on the unemployed was known to both of, them. i The reason for their staying away was also obvious to many members. Both are in favor of the wholesale expulsion policy of the International officials. To avoid taking the side of thes? officials and stirring un the membership against them, they dis- creetly avoided the meetings, ee ier Sheet Metal Workers Meet Tonight | All sheet metal workers working on electric signs, soda fountains, tin- smith supplies, tinware, beer coolers, etc. organized, unorganized, employed | and unemploved, are urged to attend an important mass meeting of sheet metal workers tonight (Wednesday, August 8) at 8 p.m., at Mansion Hall, 57 St. Marks Place, New York City. 2,000 FUR DYERS ‘ - GO OUT ON STRIKE NEW YORK.—The general strike declared in the fur dyeing industry brought about almost complete par- alysis of the industry. Most of the 2,000 workers walked out Monday ai 10 am,, involving some of the big- gest open shops which have not been touched up to now. Among those that joined the strike is the Great Northern of Long Island, which was an outstanding open shop in the in- dustry. The strikers at the meeting yesterday, which was addressed by the leaders of the Industrial Union, pledged themselves to strike until every demand is given in to by the bosses. Hold Meeting of Dress Department Tomorrow NEW YORK.—The campaign ini- tiated by the Dress Department of the Needle Trades Workers Industrial Union last week for immediate in- creases in wages, and resettling of prices, is spreading more and more to the open shops. Ten more shops were stopped yesterday. Membership meeting of Dress De- partment of the Needle Trades Work- ers Industrial Union will be held tomorrow, Thursday, at 6:30 p.m., at Irving Plaza, 15th Steet and Irving Place, where a report on the accom- plishments of the drive will be given, as well as the preparations for the general strike, which is expected very s00n.

When she omitted the section regarding unionization and only casually mentioned steel spies a faint flash spread across his face and he exchanged glances with several magnates. When she finished he was among the heartiest applauders, smiling and nodding, saying “That was good.” In contrast was Lamont’s attit- ude while William Green was talk- ing.

SPIVAK WASHINGTON, Aug. 1—Heart- steel workers throughout the coun- try was turned into a farce by the National Recovery Administration in the hearings on the steel code, held in the large auditorium of the De/ partment of Commerce Building. One by one leaders of the steel industry and the A. F. of L. got up, said their Be, and sat. down. Frances Perkins, “Secretary of Labor, hailed as one of the liberals in the country on the rights of labor, said her piece and also sat down. But what the audience of 1,500 steel magnates, secretaries, labor of- ficials and statisticians did not know was that the Secretary of Labor at the last minute radically changed her plea for abolition of the spy system in the steel industry and opposition to the company union, The who'e hearing reeked of bitter tragedy to the workers, enacted with a great fanfare of publicity. It was quite obvious that Pe petae had been settled behind closed doors be- fore the meeting was even called to}’ order. The show that the National Recovery Administrator, Hugh Ss. Johnson, put on had been well re- hearsed in advance, and the workers, apparently with approval of the steel barons, had been turned over to the A. F. of L., for company unions were crumbling and steel men were afraid radical organizers might take hold. ‘The hearing might-well be entitled, “The New Deal—Behind Closed Doors—-a Farce Produced by the N.R, A.” , i The show opened with Gen. John- son giving a patriotic spiel on “Co- operation.” Then Robert P, Lamont, former Secretary of sete ae “4 St-2) now President of the Iron : - breaking tragedy to 500,000 iron and), Steel Code Maneuvers Go on Behind | from New York by the P.

It was apparent from the moment the hearing opened that Section 2 of Article 4 of the Steel Code would be the crux of the whole fight be- tween capital and labor. This sec- tion read: $ “That no employee and no one seeking employment shall be required as a condition of employment to join any company union or to refrain from joining, organizing or assisting a labor organization of his own choosing.” Lamont insisted that the steel,men would not give up the company union clause.and added that it was impos- sible to work the steel mills on a 40-hour week basis, asking for a minimum 48-hour week. Chairman, Administrator K. \M. Simpson, asked whether the com- pany ,union clause could not be dropped from their~ requirements. Lamont then asked for’ a ten-minute recess to consult the Board of Direc- tors of the Steel Institute. In ten minutes he returned and announced that the board unanimously agreed to dispense with Section 2, Article 4, That the whole thing was a stage play for the benefit of the public and the press was obvious, for while they were in the recess meeting Por- kins’ address was passed around the press tables, mimeographed and | to one page inserted between pages clause. | Secretary of Labor Perkins, who re-! cently. made a “thorough” study of | steel conditions in a three-day trip, to Pittsburgh and environs, was) forced by last-minute changes to im- provise a great deal. from a pre- pared address. Somewhere between the time she finished writing it and the calling of the meeting she made a number of vitally important changes. The section dealing with rights of the wage-earner to organize, which hhad taken up four pages in the origi- nal draft, was suddenly summarized 8 and 13. In addition, the section of the prepared address dealing with espionage in steel mills of employ- ers upon workers, which she ex- corlated in the original address, was summarized in the presentation in few sentences, merely saying,’ “I am told there is espionage. But I cannot prove it. No one can. But if it is so, it is an unhealthy sign.” These incidents cleariy evidence that all work was done behind closed doors, that what seemed to be hope for a half million workers of better living conditions and organization was turned into bitter disappoint- ment. f During addresses by big shots in capital and labor, John Meldon, Sec- retary of the Steel and Metal Work- ers’ Union, and fifteen iron and steel Closed D Ose a | pared a speech and had to recite recovery act and the lcoking piece of legislation ever pas- .” he has to go through the mo- j tons cf objecting to this new method of wage-cutting. | His e very objection, which the 305 do not take seriously as they know it means nothing, is proof that | the Roosevelt blanket code is de- signed to cut wages and lower the payrolls for the bosses by the in- | troduction of a stagger plan in all | industries and stores. | evicted today frem their old farm house today by pclce who threw teat-gas bombs threugh his win- dows.

F. of L., played the part of a serious comedian in the show. Tht A. F. of L. officials had apparently not, learned until after their state- ment was mimeographed that the Lamont group had agreed to throw unionization open to them. The re- sult was that Bill Green had pr it. He did almost well enough to be pro- moted to seventh grade, speaking half to the Chairman and half to John L. Lewis, who sat on the plat- form. Lewis is the reputed power behind the throne. Green talked about the rights of collective barzaining, though he had heard Lamont agree to Iet the A, F, of L. come in. Lewis slouche@ in his ehair. watching his protege, and periodically Billy turned to Lewis as if asking for approval. The Chairman finally interrupled Green and told him mildly that that had already been settled.
