JOI JONES Editor of “Marine Workers Voice” WASHINGTON, Aug. 24,—The sodes under the NRA will be made by the employers, General Johnson told a delegation from the Marine Workers Industriai Union yester- day. The workers have no right to introduce their own demands and opinions of what a day’s work or wages should be, till after the bosses have presented their codes. , Then the workers can protest, at “the public hearing, and make sug- gestions. But until the bosses de- cide they want the benefits of the NRA the workers haven’t anything to say about it, Johnson said. The only other way a “code” can be put into an industry is for the Presi- hour week, time and a half for over- time; $14 minimum, 25 per cent in- crease for all making over $12 now; and recognition of shop committees. ‘The workers in this industry have been uhorganized for over six years, yet after only a few weeks of organ- izational work the Celluloid Novelty and Button Workers Union has achieved excellent results.

Everything Ready The es ge found that an ap- pointment had already been made for them,—to see Ed McGrady. chief labor skate of the NRA, who tricked the miners into going back to work a few weeks ago. The del- egates were informed that only three of them.could see McGrady As for seeing General Johnson, the chief of the Blue Eagle, that was impossible. The delegation demanded that at least. four see whoever they talked to, one to represent each craft in the industry, and a Seneral spokes- man for the Marine Workers In- dustrial Union. Four went to see McGrady. In McGrady’s office they found another of the A. F. of L. officials who are pushing the NRA down the only way the workers in the industry could get any demands granted. The government, they pointed ont, was obviously not going to adopt or en- force a code, except as the workers themselves organized strong enough to force it themselves. Speaking for the rank and file opposition in the International Longshoremen’s Asso- ciation (A. F. of L.) a longshore dele- gate related how the ILA. had ceased to be a union, did not hold meetings at which the workers could even take action against their mig- leaders, and lived by open gangster teyrorism on the docks, and collected dues at the point of a gun. A Racket He showed how the I.L.A. was a racket that robbed the workers on the docks, and exploited the workers through boarding housés, the sale of jobs, and collection of graft under threat of deportation. He showed postponed where final arrangements were to be made. But the opera. tors will not lose touch with the UMWA officials, as the miners are to be reckoned with on the sueeeen of union organization. The cause for the secret con- ference is the new upsurge of strikes throughout the coal fields. Wednesday, 1,000 miners walked out at the Mellon-owned Montour mine near Pittsburgh. Two thous- and coal miners struck in Virginia. A ‘whole series of coal strikes are on in West Virginia, Alabama and Kentucky. News of these strikes are being suppressed in all capital- ist papers in order to keep the miners in different parts of the country from knowing the depth of the strike movement, in an effort to discourage them from local strikes. The coal operators know there Textile Workers Elect Delegates to Cleveland Meet NEW YORK.—The silk yarn plant of Kahn and Feldman at 316 Suydam St. Brooklyn has been elosed tight for more than a week as 700 young textile workers con- tinue their strike for more pay and decent working conditions. The strikers have accepted the leader- ship of the National Textile Work- ers’ Union determined to make this strike the means of abolishing the 10 to 12 hour day, the low pay under the Textile code of the NRA Cripples Plant: By ,a Fur Worker Correspondent GLOVERSVILLE, N. Y.—Over 150 workers of fur-lined gloves are out on strike in. Gloversville, N. Y. for the past three weeks. , They have already learned in the course of the struggle that the A. F. of L, is the bosses’ union. At the first confsrence with the employers the bosses told them that they would re- cognize them if they were a union of the A. F. of L. The bosses also tried to organize a company union, but failed. The workers on strike have counteracted all strike breaking plans of the bosses. On Tuesday the manufacturers were forced to confer with the local Union negotiation committee elected by the workers. The bosses recog- nized the Union and granted a 50 per cent increase in pay and recognition men produced 500 tons of structural steel.

Conditions of Work It is quite natural that the working conditions in the stockyards should worsen under the Recovery Production of 8 and 10 hours is now being forced into 6. One Polish work- er exclaimed, “I came here strong, healthy and straight, Now look at Act. The It is not unusual that a worker falls in a vat of boiling water be- cause of the speed-up and crowded- ness. A few weeks ago, one Wednes- day, John Grill, 20 years old, who was hog-scalding,: fell in a vat of The meat magnates hoarded large profits even in these years of crisis. During the year 1931, the Armour Company pocketed $20,144,766. For the year 1932 they netted $17,234,320. The Swift Company has for the year 1931 earned the small sum of $73,- 943,180 and for the year 1932 just $61,105,400. But for the year of 1933 their business rose and the profit of meat in the pockets of the meat magnates will proportionately rise. The workers are being driven to Starvation and need, Negro Workers The Negro workers are more en- slaved than the white workers in the stockyards. No Negro worker is employed in the office. There isn't a Negro foreman. They are employed only at the hardest and most dan- gerous work , The foremen abuse them, They sow racial hatred among the Negro and white workers, In the year of the race riot, towards the end of July, 1919, when 20 Negroes and 14 white workers were killed, the Stockyard district mainly con- tributed towards the band of the ity between the white and Negro workers, for equal chances and equal pay for equal work, and demand equal treatment at the work. A. F. of L. in the Yards The A. F. of L. is hated among the workers, is not entirely forgot- ten. The craft form of organization of their trade unions does not fit into the stockyards conditions. During these last few weeks the A. F. of L. called a few meetings, the first of which was attended by 100 people, the second by 47 and the third only held the speaker. The Stockyards Labor Council The workers of the stockyards who, in 1919, split from the A. F, of L., organized the Stockyards Labor Council which was then led in a strike by Comrade William Z. Foster. This Stockyards Council struggled for an industrial union, for real working conditions and became pop- ular among the workers. But since the strike was lost, it died down. During July it Aesuscitated, but is now only a shadow of its former or- ganization. It only bears the name Demands es only-enough to be able to live on.” The Packing House Workers In- dustrial Union is the only organiza- weak, it responds to all struggles of the stockyard workers, Just recent- ly the Packing House Workers In- dustrial~ Union . distributed leaflets with the demands which the workers ought to organize to win: 1—Seven hour day without reduc- tion in weekly wages. 2—An immedi- ate raise of 30 per cent in wages. 3—Against speed-up, piecework and the bonus system. 4—An industrial union for all stockyards workers without division as to nationality, sex, age or political views. Equal rights, for Negro workers on all jobs. 5—Equal wages for equal work for women and young workers. 6—Free tools and work clothes for all work- ers, 7—The company shall recognize the workers’ committees in the shops. 8—Unemployment insurance and un- employment relief at the expense of the bosses and government for the of Stockyards Labor Council but in content it is the same as the organ- ization being led by the A.
