Militant Shoe Workers Strike in Two States SHOE STRIKERS IN BOSTON ARE STILL FIGHTING Officials Try to Get, Them to Accept Fraud of Arbitration BOSTON, Mass., August 2.—More than 17,000 shoe workers of Boston, Chelsea and Lynn are still out. There is no picketing going on because of the actions of the officials who are trying to. demoralize the strikers and| prevent a militant struggle by calling! it a “holiday.” | At an officially goniroiled joint meeting yesterday the three councils | of Boston, Chelsea and Lynn, pro- posed a 20 per cent fiei increase to Aug. 15 with the co:itinuation of negotiations. The aceptance of this, however, carries with it a year’s agreement with an arbitration clause. Workers Are Suspicious With the cost of living steadily ris- ing the workers feel that this 20 per cent raise is a trick to tie them with chains of compulsory arbitration. The Chelsea workers at a meeting} this morning postponed action pend- ing the reading of the agreement. The trickery of officials succeeded last night, by misinforming the mem- bership at meetings of some Boston locals last night to accept the pro- posals. Their principal deception was the statement without founda- tion in fact that other locals had already accepted their agreements. The 20 per cent increase on an hourly basis is nullified by the reduc- | tion of hours from 48 to 40. Demand Mass Picketing | The workers at the Boston meet-| ings were/militant this afternoon, de-| manding mass picketing and deter-| mined struggle for immediate, sub-| stantial wage increases. They also) vigorously protest against any agree- | ment that will tie them to arbitra-/| tion. | Philadelphia Shoe Workers Vote To Call General Strike PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 2. gen- eral strike in the shoe industry of this city, to begin today, was voted at a mass meeting of Philadelphia shoe workers held last Monday under the auspices of the Shoe and Leather Workers Industrial Union: The price committee reported the following demands, which were ap- proved by the mass meeting unani- mously Fitters—First class mechanic, $1 an hour; second cla: 85 cents; third class, 55 cents an hour.

On July 27 the state troopers were withdrawn, but not before they had arrested four more strikers. ‘The International Labor Defense is handling the cases, with the assis- tance of the central strike committee and the National Lumber Workers’ Union. A smass meeting has been called by the I. L.

The mill owners car was stoned when it left the plant. The strikers have been out two weeks, and refused to accept the slave code proposed by the bosses in accordance with Roosevelt's plan. More than 15,000 hosiery workers are now on strike in the state. The workers became especially militant when the bosses began hir- ing strikebreakers and posted the NRA eagle on the factory door.

In spite of yesterday’s attack at | Booneville there are no trucks de- livering milk there today. The trucks carrying milk from rich farmers are all heavily guarded by state troop- ers, but still they do not pass, Word comes from Fonda that Montgomery county farmers have joined the strike and have dumped | several trucks of milk, thereby wit- holding milk from the city of Ams- terdam.

In all the towns there is seething and the townspeople against the gun-thug tactics of the state troop- ers is rising higher. City consumers are in sympathy with the strikers because they know the price of milk{ to them has been boosted higher, while the farmers do not get even the cost of production.

Unorganized Printers Meet Tonight on Code NEW YORK.—A mass meeting of printers will hear code demands pre~ sented for unorganized printers toe night at Irving Plaza Hall, 15th St, and Irving Place, at 8 p.m. On Friday, July 21, the A. F. of L. called a mass meeting of organized and unorganized printers. At this meeting they wanted the sjgnatures of the unorganized printers, in order to be able to represent them in Washington. Only under protest by @ group of unorganized printers did one unorganized printer get the He asked the A. F. of L. offi- cials whether this means that the un- organized will be given the rights as union men and get the union scale and union conditions and be admitted into the union. The A. F, of L. officials plainly stated that it does not make them organized, it only gives the officials the right to represent them. Such representation without any intention of organizing and fighting for a union scale and union shop conditons means in plain words a wage cut for the unorgane ized as well as the organized printers, The unorganized printers are not waiting for the A. F. of L. officials to misrepresent them, they are ore ganizing. Last Thursday a meeting of about 60 unorganized printers was held. At this meeting a committee was elected for the organization of the unorganized printers. This com- { mittee will draw up demands for the unorganized printers, to be presented at tonight’s meeting.
