{ | | | | Silk Meet Tomorrow for Code in Washington Soon National Conference in Paterson to Gather | to Frame Demands for Union PATERSON, N. J., Sept. 8—A Hearings national conference of silk workers, valled by the National Textile Workers’ Union is called for this Sunday, September 10, at 612 River St., to prepare for the hearings in Washington on the silk code scheduled for September 12. Representatives from Allentown, Easton, Pa., Rhode Island, New York, Paterson and the South will be present 0 consider the demands of the union.@¢— —- DA ILY WORKER, NEW YORK, SATURDA SEPTEMBER 9, 1933 The Fighting Vets By H. E. BRIGGS This column fights for the 3-point program—first, last and always. Here} it is in case you have forgotten it. 1—Immediate cash payment of bal- ance dye on adjusted service cer- tificates. 2—Immediate restoration of disa- bility compensations, allowances, pensions, hospital and domicil- ary care.

Post No. 6 W.ES.L. sends along. the news that they are supporting the| Machine Guns Against Cuban Workers Today the arbitration proceedings under the NRA continued with rep- resentatives of the Silk Association of Manufacturers, the United Tex- tile Workers, the National Textile Workers’ Union and Senator Wag- ner of the National Labor Advisory Board, present. The A. F. of L. raised no demands for wage increases or other conditions at the meeting. Their chief concern was for recogni- tion of the union, Senator Wagner proposed that he go to Paterson to talk to the work- ers himself. Although professing great pity for the plight of the ex- ploited silk workers, he nevertheless wants to convince the workers to end their strike and to go back to work, on the basis of the present conditions until the silk code hear- ings are held. This temporary ar- rangement is for the purpose of smothering the strike and then forc- ing upon the workers the low wages of the code against which they are striking. Ann Burlak, of the National Tex- tile Workers’ Union, fought this pro- Posal vigorously as well as one by McMehon suggesting a secret confer- ence with Wagner to arrange a sell- out. The N.T.W. delegation consisted of Ann Burlak and 5 rank and file strikers, 3 having come from Allen- town. At the same time the strike of the silk dyers definitely entered the Pas- saic area when a demonstration of 1500 pickets at the Lodi plant of the United Piece Dye Works, led by the National Textile Union called upon the workers to strike. The picket line, given 2 send-off by 3,000 Pater- son workers, had the support of thou- sands of workers who jammed the sidewalk around the Lodi mill. As we go to press the workers are coming out on strike and it is predicted that the great Lodi plant employing 5,000 will be draw: A commit*ce of dye strikers elected ight from the picket line presented eir demands to the United Piece e Works management at the main Office at Lodi simultaneously with the huge demons:ration. "The workers waited outside the mills for the re- pert. A heavy guard of police were at the mill gates but no attempt was made to interfere with the picketing.

He never carried his own chapel (The World), or any other newspaper chapel. He was finally defeated, however, in 1930. And while being groomed for the race in the last election, he re- ceived a $50.00 income weekly from & contribution list which was quickly circulated among his supporters. He never called a strike in sixteen years. He threatened to “outlaw” the “va- cation” movement in 1919, then after it succeeded in spite of him, he lines.

The workers in |the grinding department steadfastly ‘refused to join for 3 days. One of | the most active workers in the plant | was called into the office and asked |by the superintendent, “What’s the |matter with a company union?” | When this worker voiced his objec- | tion he was told to go back to work | with the warning, “Use your head”. |The company then declared that the }organization would not be called » company union,+but an N.R.A. Asse- ciation. The discharge of the 200 workers has caused great resentment among the workers in the plant who are not satisfied with merely appealing to General Johnson for aid. They are ready to strike to back up their de- mand that “victimization must stop”. If the A. F. of L. officials refuse to act, a rank and file committee is pre- pared to call a mass meeting to take action. The Auto Workers Union pledges its fullest support im the struggle that is developing. The company has been trying to goad the workers into producing as much in 7 hours as they formerly did in 8 hours. Foremen are continu- ally demanding more production and curse and swear at the women. Many times women have been seen leaving the plant crying. In the electric welding department the men have to handle high voltage. Although the men wear asbestos gloves, the hot metal burns right through. Yet the foremen are con- tinually demanding more production, The men are determined to strug- gle, having joined the A. F. of L. for this purpose. If A. F. of L. officials continue to hold them back, many say they will fight under rank and file leadership not only to stop vic»: timization, but for more wages and better conditions.

F. of L. fur union,, which has been dormant for a few weeks, fol- lowing the decisive defeat of their efforts tq force the fur workers into the A. F, of L. and destroy the fur workers section of the Needle Trades Workers Industrial Union, has revived. f The latest maneuvre of these combined forces is contained in a slanderous leaflet issued by the Joint Council of the A. F. of L. fur union charging the Needle Trades Union with “betraying the workers” on the issue of the 35 hour week and calling for “one true union in the fur trade.” The leaflet blazoned in the pages of the “Forward,” Jewish Socialist daily declares that the paper A.

A conference to negotiate a 35- hour week was called with the Fur, Trimming Manufacturers Associa- tion with which the union has an agreement followed by a second conference at which the manufac- turers declared their intention of adhering to the 40 hour week until the hearings on the fur code ex- pected by September 15. But the Needle Union did not stop at this. At least 600 inde- pendent shops, many affiliated with the Associated Fur Manufacturers, which is strong for the A. F. of L. commanw union, were stopped and demazogic splitters who started the union’s demands did the workers return. Strikes are still on where the bosses have refused to yield to the demand. The Needle Union has again called for an official conference with the bosses of the Fur Trim- ming Manufacturers to insist on the immediate establishment of the 35 hour week. In a statement on this new man- euvre of the A. F. of L. and the fur bosses the fur department of the Needle Trades Union, declares: “The leaders of the Associated, who knew very well that our union would carry through the 35 hour week in the Rota and that they would not be able to evade, were forced to come out in favor of the 35 hour week.
