Y—The workers of the Allerton Ave. neighborhood won their four-day bread strike, forcing the reduction in the price of bread from nine cents to seven cents @ pound and of rolls from 24 to 20 cents a dozen. The strike was under the leadership of the Unemployed Council, Women's Council, and the strike committee elected by the workers. All four bakeries concerned have given in, in spite of injunctions and arrests used against the strikers. Union Shop Settles ‘The first and only place to settle with the Strike Committee on these prices was the Modern Bakery, a Food Workers’ Industrial Union shoo. The other three bakers, Pato’s, French Model and Daylight Ba‘ery, all on Allerton Ave., have also been forced to reduce their Prices to 7 and 20 cents, but have so far re- payee to sign up with the Strike Com- mittee, The Modern Bakery, the Food Workers’ Industrial Union Shop, is doneting 10 rer cent of its rree.- 7s for the next three days to the Daily Worker. A big role in forciny all of the bakeries to come down in prices was played by the Concoops Grocery Store, which showed its soli- darity with the strikers by selling bread at six cents and 18 cents, thus forcing the other bakeries to reduce their prices. Meeting Tonight ‘The workers of the Allerton Ave. neighborhood put up a_ splendid struggle in picketing all bakers en masse in spite of the injunction is- sued on Friday afternoon when the strike began. Children with signs rode through the streets on roller} skates announc'ng the strike and mobilizing the people. During the picketing, three workers were ar- rested and served two days in jail. A mass meeting is to be held to~ night (Thursday) in the Sholem Alci- chem Schule on Allerton Ave. to celebrate the victory and map out nlans for broaden‘n’ the movement to a fizht for a reduction on other commodities. The need of organiza- tion on every block to guarantee the victory for the future and win other gains will be stressed at this meeting. I. W. 0.

Shoe Workers F ight NRA Labor Board Pritects' Seabs by No-Discrimi- nation Clause By FRED BIEDENKAPP Secretary of the Shoe and Leather Workers Industrial Union The Noy. 2 decision of the National Labor Board in connection with the New York shoe strike showed clearly that unless the workers used their united effort and mass pressure, they could force little from the Board. If there was any doubt in the mind of any of the shoe workers that the National Labor Board was as much @ boss organization as is the Cham- ber of Commerce, that doubt was completely eliminated by the latest decision of the National Labor Board resulting from its interpretation of its own ruling, at the request of and to suit the manufacturers. Among other things, the November decision clearly states that the strik- Distortion of Strike Gain ing workmen are to be reinstated | without discrimination and that all those who were members of the per- manent shop crew before the strike, be immediately reinstated. It was particularly (>is phase of the decision that prompted the workers to accept the National Labor Board ruling, were ready to carry it out. Now we find that the November decision was only a smoke-screen to fool the workers and make it easier for the bosses to break the strike. Today the National Labor Board in- terprets its own English to mean it to mean. The National Labor Board now rules that “no discrimination against the strikers” does not mean that strike breakers who now hold the strikers’ jobs are to be discharged. On the contrary, under the N. R. A. Policy they are to be preferred char- acters, in this manner the N. R. A. Proposes to put more men to work.

And this, the National Labor Board says, is not discrimination. The strikers have made several concessions in their demands in -an effort to reach a satisfactory settle- ment of the strike, and while it is} true that at present there is very| little work in the shops and because | of that the manufacturers have a big advantage, the shoe workers are nevertheless determined that no mat- | ter what the cost may be, they will never agree to a polloy of discrimin- ation, which has no other object than to break the ranks and the solidarity | of the workers. N, R. A. Supporters Not only are the shoe workers con- fronted with a combination of the Boot and Shoe officials, the bosses and the N, R.

L, G. leaders as well as the Opens Way for Sweat Shops By J. ABRAMS. Three months ago the dressmakers came out on strike at the call of the International Ladies’ Garment Work- ers Union and the Needle Trades Union. The response of the dress- makers to the strike ¥ strike was the biggest in history of any dress strike in New York City. At the conferences with the bosses, our “leaders,” Hochman Dubinsky and Zimmerman saw to it that only they should represent the strikers, not consulting the workers beforehand on what our demands to the bosses should be. The chief demand that N.R.A. Commissioner Whalen ask for @ quick settlement, being afraid that the Left Wing workers would take over the leadership of the strike. The strike lasted only four days and demands won were a minimum Wage, recognition of the I. L. G. and the 35-hour week. Limitation of contractors, which might have been won in time of the sirike, had our leaders fought for it, was left to the Washington authorities. The workers were sent back to work. Two months passed, conferences with the bosses were held secretly, without mobilizing the workers in the least for this demand of limitation, In their leaflets the administration of Local 22 said very little on the fight against the bosses and attacked only the Left Wing group for de- were | ™andinz this limitation as a step leaders demanded that their union be recognized as the only union in the khong ‘joan even though there Wing workers who were militant on ‘he picket lines and in the halls were he bosces Soper to give in to " demands, some of the st towards abolishing sweatshops. The code has already been signed and ap- proved by Roosevelt, but all our chief demands won during the strike and also limitation were given up. On the question of hours, for which the dressmakers have so bitterly ‘ought, the 35-hour week, one of our chief demands, has been done away with. There is supposed to be no overtime done, but read the code. ie ‘ions . . . may be allowed by ‘he code authority for a period of not more than six weeks in any one ses- ston; provided that the employer shall be required to bay one and one- “\alf times the normal wage for such vertime work.” No season in the ress industry lasis as long as six weeks; secondly, if there are four zeasons during the year, then it “eans 24 weeks overt'me. In the main, the majority of the industry ‘vorks piece work, so the workers will not get naid time and a half for over- ‘ime. Thus we see how our leaders ‘ave given up the 35-hour week. What about limitation? The code reads, “Manufacturers and jobbers, who cause their garments to be made by contractors, shall immediately designate the number of contractors to meet their bus'ness requirements. Within one week at’ the effective date of this code the manufacturer and jobber shell revister any and all sub- sequent chanves . This does not abridge the right of manvfac- turers or jobbers to add to, subtract ‘yom or chanve their contractors, pro- vided that these are-not made for the purpose of evading the established ware scele.” If tha demond of the workers for limitation had been met, wage scales could be. more easily controlled and competition between contractors would be reduced, thus reducing the danger of continued sweatshops. Severe Competition. Dubinsky himself admitted that there is no limitation in the dress in- dustry. It means competition will go | Only Opposition Group Can Lead Fight for Conditiens a given shop are fighting against wage not sond work to the shop. The code as a whole exposed the conspiracy of Dubin: Hochman and the so-called progressive Zim- merman with the bosses. They braz- only told us to be patient and all would be well. They did not mobilize the dressmakers to strike for our demands. Only Fighting Force. Against these betrayers there is snly one fore? which will fight for our union conditions, code or no code, and that is the Left Wing opposition of the LL.G.W, ‘The Left Wing proposes that job- bors’ committees be set up immedi- ately, that shop meetings be held at least twice a month in each shop to enforce our conditions, that an un- employed council be set up for the jobless dressmakers at once to force the city to provide relief and that the union set aside funds for weekly pay- ment to the unemployed.
