In the first big strike, the miners, after some resistance, on the plea of President Roosevelt, returned to work with a promise of a square deal ~—and a checkweighman elected by the miners at every mine. In the last strike, the President made many pleas but they fell on deaf ears as far as the rank and file | miners were concerned. They were out to win, and they realized their strength, 100,000 strong. The solid front of the miners had to be split—Lewis and his gang were not .sufficent—the miners were wise i to him and Feeney, as well as the rest of the district officials. No, this time it needed more forces. Not even ter- ; ror could haye broken the ranks. The miners wewe feeling their strength, They were marching on the hard- boiled steel centers of the U.S. trust. | Strikebreaking With the Support of Strike “Leaders”’ CHICAGO, IIL, Nov. 13.—In the last month 1,500 work off in the S and Warner Plan) still on the j | rs haye beer laid women sses- model cars are completed many more will be laid off, without a chance for an- \t relief for ago, The )0 me s company produces Shamokin Jobless Demand Release of Herbert Benjamin SHAMOKIN, Pa.—The Unem- ployed Council of Shamokin, an important mining town, has sent @ resolution of protest to General Wood and Governor Hockenhull of New Mexico on the arrest of Herbert Benjamin, which stated: “We protest the arrest and jail- ing of Herbert Benjamin, organ- izer of the Unemployed Councils, and other workers.

ROBERTS Organizer, Section 7 In the last few months we witness the developments of a mass move- ment of the Longshoremen on the Brooklyn Waterfront in Red Hook. This mass movement was organized around the struggle against the new agreement which was to be signed by J. P. Ryan, President of the Inter- national Longshoremens Association and the Shipowners on Oct. Ist. On Nov. ist the I. L, A, announced that the new agreement was signed, This agreement states that the Long- shoremen are to get 85 cents an hour instead of 75 cents previously and a $1.20 for overtime instead of $1.10. This announcement came out of the clear sky. ‘What was it that brought the Long- shoremen this partial victory at a time when everything was set for an- other wage cut? mittee which was set up at the Con- ‘Stronger Rank and File Action Needed to Get! | Real Gains; Communist Party Units | Must Give More Help about 500 Longshoremen came to the meeting. An open air meeting was held outside the school at which the Longshoremen passed a decision to hojd another meeting, Another meet- was held on Oct, 13th where the new agreement was discussed and a delegation of five was elected to go to Washington to represent the Long- shoremen of Red Hook at the Code hearings. At the same time a joint meeting of Locals 808 and 975 of the I. L. A. was called in South Brooklyn at which Ryan himself was to speak. At this meeting some embarrassing questions were put to Ryan by the longshoremen. They asked him, men in Red Hook who are working are not, getting more than two days a week. A great percentage are per- manently unemployed. They are dis- criminated against on account of be- ing unable to pay $3.00 for a Union button and additional money for graft. The longshoremen are forced to pay at least 1-3 of their meager earnings in graft to the racketeers. The graft is in the form wine, tickets for shows and dancés that never take place, collections for fun- erals that don’t exist, etc. On the Munson Line dock no long- shoreman can get a job, even with his dues paid, unless they are pay- “Why they don’t see him on the| ing a certain percentage to the racket. ‘ | FR ’ NOVEMBER i7. at 9 P. ‘) ‘Billy Hines. hunger and misery will -be the lot| Prior to the expiration of the agree- eatastcke are ready to take up and continue | IDAY, NOVEMBER i7, at 9 P.
