iY VAD ERE RSE } | i| \ | 5 * 4 : Fuel for Steel Industry Involved in Mine Strike, Says Wall St. Journal Miners in a Stratepic . Position. to Defeat Coal and Steel Barons and Win Strike By LABOR RESEARCH ASSOCIATION That the striking miners of western Pennsylvania are in a strategic position to tie up the whole program of the Na- tional Recovery Administration is admitted by the “Wall Street Journal,” organ of big business. In a dispatch from its Pittsburgh bureau, it describes the Pittsburgh district as fuelling the entire steel industry. ¢—— If the striking miners hold out, it is acknowledged that there wil be a serious shortage of coal within | 10 days. Not only steel but all the indusiries dependent upon steel will feel the effects. That is why J. P. Morgan, Andrew Mellon, President Roosevelt, Governor Pinchot, Gen- eral Johnson and all the rest—in- cluding their labor advisors — who seek profits for capitalism out of the recovery program, have been so anxious to settle the strike immedi- ataly, The Wall Street Journal's dispatch from Pittsburgh is so important that we quote it at. length: “The rapid spread of the coal strike from Fayette County fields to the Pittsburgh and other districts threatens the entire industrial re- covery program, in the opinion of many industrial leaders here. “The strike has been directed at mines owned by steel companies. It has extended to commercial mines which ordinarily might be depended upon to supply the needs of steel pekinese Steel companies still can each into fields farther south and to other districts not yet affected by the strike. This, however, would inerease their costs and, if the strike should continue to spread, even these sources might be shut off,” is the fear of the capitalists. They recognize the mood of the miners to defeat their slave program. “Some of the steel companies have accumulated stocks of coal, but in no case are they great enough to carry operations for any protracted period,” the Wall Street Journal con- tinues. “A careful canvass of the situation reveals that the steel mills have about ten days to two weeks’ supply of coal before their operations will be seriously hampered. One con- cern in the Youngstown district has only six days’ supply. Two blast » furngces that were to go on in the Youngstewn district this week were held up because of the fuel situa~ tion. The entire steel industry do- pends mostly upon tie Pittsburgh district for fuel, even the Chicago area, the Steel Corp. getting its coal from the Frick mines here; Inland Steel Co, has its own mines in the Pittsburgh area, but all are closed. (Our emphasis—G.H.). “Some steel companies, in antici- pation of a shortage are beginning to search far afield for supplies of suitable coal, The fact that a par- ticular type of fuel is needed for coking tends to complicate the problem .. . “All Pittsburgh Coal Co. and Jones and Laughlin mines are closed. Half of the Hillman Coal & Coke mines are closed and all the Frick com- pany pits are shut down. “That a coal shortage at the steel mills is imminent is not denied. One big steel company purchased some coal in Philadelphia for use at its plants here,” says the dispatch. It is the fear of spreading the strike to other regions and drawing in the steel workers that the Wall Street organ recognizes. The min- ers hold a key position in the pre- sent situation and by united strug- gle can defeat the slavery program of the coal operators, Technicians Meet on Their Code Tonight There will be held an open con- ference of delegates from technical men’s employee’s organizations under the auspices of the United Commit- tee of Architects, Engineers, Chemists and Technicians, tonight at 7:00 p. m. at the Maison Dorree at 232 Seventh Ave. The conference has been called to ratify the code drawn up by a com- mittee appointed by a previous con- ference on Aug. 2. The code which provides for technicians in all fields includes the folowing minimum de- mands: 1—Minimum pay for Junior Tech- nician $45.00 per week. 2—Minimum pay for Senior Technician $60.00 per week. 3—A guarantee of a minimum of 40 weeks work per year, if less Federal Unemployment insurance is to cover the difference.

The whole code is.a sell out of the interests of the workers in the ladies garment trade. The Action Committee for Week Work of Local No. 9 of the LL.G. W.U. in an apneal on the eve of the referendum calls for a “vote against piece work” and a defeat of the slavery code. The committee's ap- peal warns the cloak makers “not to be fooled by the officers of the I.L.G.W.U. and the favorable reports painted by the “canitalist and social- ist press.” Yesterday a meeting was held in Bryant Hall under the auspices of the cloak department of the Needle Trades Workers Industrial Union. Louis Hyman, president of the union and J, Boruchowiich, organizer of the cloak department, spoke. The keynote of the meeting was the question to David Dubinsky, presid- ent of the LL.G.W.U.: “¥f you think the code helps the cloak makers, why was there no meeting called of the membership to discuss the code before proceeding with the referendum.” Hyman, in his SI the fravd of “arbit er by officials and manufacturers. “The arbitration board will have only two union representatives out of 10,” said Hyman. “Even if they were inter- ested in the workers,” he pointed, “what chance would they have on such a board.” The organizer of the cloak depart- ment of the Industrial Union, J. Bo- ruchowitch, explained the various points of the code and emphasized that “only a strike will force the manufacturers to concede to the de- mands of the workers for higher wages and improved conditions.” The so-called assurance of a min- imum wage for niece work is mean- ingless to the cloak makers, the speakers proved. When the rate is made on a new garment, workman- ship is usually of an inferior quality. Later when the price is agreed on the bosses demand a better quality of work which requires more time and thereby cuts the pay. ‘To defeat this slave program, all cloak makers should turn out today and vote against the piece work code. ts. s FURNITURE WORKERS MEET TODAY NEW YORK. — Furniture worker: to prepare defense against the Roose. velt no-strike edict will meet toda: 2 p. m. at Irving Plaza Hall, 15 Si and Irving Place.

WIN ALL DEMANDS, IN 2 SHOE SHOPS, NEW YORK—Two shoe shops in- cluding 175 workers signed agree- ments with the Shoe and Leather Workers Industrial Union yesterday. The bosses granted demands of a 40 hour week, about twenty-five per cent increasé in wages and recogni- tion of the Union. The first plant to sign was the Artistic Shoe Co., 305 Seventh Ave. where 120 workers had been on strike for one and half weeks. The other shop, the Pape Shoe Co., 79 Fourth Avenue, was settled without a strike after the fifty five workers had placed their demands before the boss.

All bosses’ papers distort the facts. ‘We want to let you know what hap- pened to us when we were arrested at the mass picket line on August 4. The police started arresting every- one who was pointed out by the stool pigeons. Twenty-seven strikers, ten of us women, were treated rough and taken to the police station. The smallest girl, weighing about 95 pounds, was held by two policemen weighing over 200 pounds each. In the ‘police station the women were insulted and accused of disor- derly conduct because we asked for more bread for our children. They said we are not citizens of the U. S., but Porto Ricans are supposed +o be citizens. They said we are Negroes. They think that we do not know that we must unite with all workers regard- less of color. We have some negro strikers and they are good fighters. Afterwards in court our lawyer told the judge that we were fighting for our bread and butter, that our mothers, children and husbands were waiting for us. But what do you think the judge said? He just laughed ilies. They caused trouble and they have to pay $100 bail each,” and then told the police, “Get them out of here.” So, comrades, you see what the man who is supposed to stand for justice did. ‘ Then we were taken to the “Women’s Correction House,” where they hold the prostitutes, and closed us out with the Negro prisoners, with- ate giving us even a piece of bread till 7 a.m, But comrades, do not think we are heartbroken.

Fully 300 delegates will attend the Conference from the state of Ohio alone, according to very reliable re- | ports. These delegates will repre- sent the rubber workers from Akron as well as steel workers from Youngs- town. Delegates will also come from Canton, Toledo, Cincinnati and Cleveland. In Sandusnsky, Ohio, where a vigorous fight is being waged to have the Central Labor Union, represent- jing the city's labor bodies, endorse |the Conference, Painters Local Union 788, A. F. of L., has announced the election of delegates to the Cleveland gathering. The call for the election of dele- | gates to the Cleveland Conference is also being received with greater sympathy than any similar call here- tofore by textile and shoe workers of New England, whose dissatisfac- tion with the NRA slave code is growing, and whose distrust of Roosevelt's “new deal” was definitely established during their recent struggles for better working condi- tions. New York City will send approxi- mately 80 delegates to the Confer- ence, the local Arrangement Com- mittee announced today. The dele- gates will leave in two chartered buses, reducing the transportation cost of each delegate to $8.00. The organizations sending the delegates are to raise this transportation fee as well as the $2.00 for their ex- penses for the two days of the Con- ference. The Provisional Committee for the Conference calls upon all industrial areas to set up local Arrangement Committees which are to carry on the work of getting delegates elected from various labor. bodies to the 56 HOUR WEEK IS © PROVIDED IN DRUG BOSS SLAVE CODE Wages Are as Low as $12 Per Week, With Many Exceptions WASHINGTON, Aug. 8 —Every) new retail code filed here increases | the maximum hours of the workers, the latest being the drug trade code providing for a 56 hour week for all those engaged in the drug and per- fume trade, with a minimum pay of $15 in the North and $12 in the} | South. There are many exceptions to the code providing for wages below the $12 minimum wage level. Drug | store clerks receiving more than the | $15 wage minimum in the North are to be permitted to work as high as 80 hours a week. The drug store bosses say this is necessary because of Sunday work.

Broken arms, crushed fingers, Tup- tures, are a daily occurrence, more than one has found death up the mountains, and the beautiful road that was made winding around to the top of the mountain is stained with blood. Most of the men at Bear Mountain are veterans, who carry scars of the last war, a good many are gassed. The hard labor is too much for them, and they fall by the roadside exhausted.
