ee pie RS Paterson Strikers | Hold Out, Against Schweitzer, For $25 UT. W. Leaders Abandon Wage Demand, - Suppress Strikers’ Leaflet, Try to Complete : Betrayal of 9,000 Silk Workers PATERSON, N. J, Nov. 22.—The Gf the Associated Silk Workers (U. I. W.) again prevented the U. T. W.| un By CAKL REEVE | ; | action of the rank and file members| Ieaders from sending the 9,000 striking broad silk workers back to work on Monday and Tuesday. The U. T. weakened the Paterson strike by sending the to work, in addition to the jacquard>— Workers, the warpers and the ribbon workers, as well as sending the work- ers back in Scranton, Wilkes-Barre and Allentown. But even in this Weakened condition, the strikers re- sisted the brazen attempt of Frank| Schweitzer, his Lovestoneite co-or-| ganizer, Eli Keller, etc., to get the) Men back to work this week with- out any gains. | = Strikers Again Reject Sell-Out -Gn Saturday Schweitzer had prac- tiedlly openly agreed that the strik- ers would go back to work at the| manufacturers’ terms of $2 per 100,-| 000 picks, a complete defeat for the| Strikers, which average $19 a week | or less, a proposal which the strikers Wave several times rejected in the course of the strike. It had already become clear last week that the de- cision of the N. R. A. advisory board issued by Senator Wagner, ordering the men back to work and setting a minimum wage of $25, was not put forward for any other reason than ag @ strikebreaking proposal. The only.provision in this decision taken seridlsly, either by the U. T. W. leaders or the manufacturers, was the order to return to work. The “decision” for $25 minimum rate was immnediately rejected by the manu- facturers, with the silent consent of Senator Wagner and the U. T. W.| leaders. The height of betrayal was reached when Frank Schweitzer, MacMahon’s representative and secretary of the Associated, through the capitalist press on Sunday told the workers that they must choose whether or not they will return to work Mon- day at the bosses’ terms. “It is up to the workers,” he said. This was, in effect, an order to the workers to return to work at the employers’ own terms. Schweitzer Suppresses Leaflet Meanwhile, the Associated strike committee had repudiated Schweitzer | and printed a leaflet with a ringing appeal to reject the menufacturers’ proposal of $2 per 100,000 picks and to-hold out for the §25 minimum rats, Schweitzer withheld this leaf- det. fre circulation and repudiated | it, sietng’ that he did not know who wrote the leaflet and that it was not the line of the U. T. W. It was not unit Monday that the Associated strike: committee was able to force the =cistribution of its own leaflet, Gve* Schweitzer’s head. On: Monday, when the manufac- turers opened the mills, the workers refused to return to work, the strike committee having rejected Schweit- o's sell-out at Monday's meeting. Schweite to further weaken the ike, issued an official statement on~Monday, in which he did not ~emtion the wages, and made only one demand, recognition of the U. T. W. Schweitzer openly stated his willingness to settle if this one de- mand was satisfied, deserting all the workers’ wage and other demands. ‘This was a betrayal of his own strike committee, which had demanded the $25 minimum rate. The National Textile Workers’ Union issued a leaflet to the strikers om Monday, exposing Schweitzer's sell-out. The N. T. W. U. declares: “To win victory in this strike, the workers must set up their own rank and file settlement committee and enter into direct negotiations with the manufacturers (without any ar- bitration committees) for a victori- ‘Two States Join In ous settlement, Without this rank W. leaders have already greatly 1,000 dye workers. back and file settlement committee of all the mills it would be a crime to ac- cept the manufacturers’ proposal of individual mill settlements.” The N T. W. U. calls on the workers to con- tinue the strike until the $25 mini- mum rate is granted. The teference to arbitration com-| mittees applies particularly to Mayor Hinchcliffe’s committee, with which} Schweitzer, Keller, etc., are trying to) send the workers back to work, de-| feated. Hinchcliffe has put forward) the $2 per 100,000 picks proposal of} the bosses as the only basis for set- tlement. Schweitzer went to this committee and demanded only rec- ognition of the union, The N. T. W. U. and the united front conference of last Sunday called on the workers in the silk in- dustry to*set up mill committees in every mill based on a broad united front, regardless of union affiliation, and to link these mill committees to- gether with delegates to shop dele- gates’ councils, and thus lay the basis for one industrial union in the silk industry. eM ideal CORRECTION ‘Two typographical errors changed the sense of two important sentences} in the article on page 2 of Monday's | issue of the Daily Worker dealing) with the Paterson strike. The fifth) paragraph states... “to fight jointly} with the employed for Unemployed Insurance at the expense of the em- ployed.” . . . This should read, of course, “at the expense of the em- ployers.” In the sixth paragraph the phrase which reads “the new industrial union cannot be based on the N. T. W.” should read “cannot be based on the U. T. W.” ‘ Frame-up of Negro ALEXANDRIA La., Nov. 22.—Alex- ander Boss, Alexandria Negro, who has been residing in Los Angeles, was arrested hero last Thursday charged with the murder of a white girl, whose nude body was discovered Nov. 8, near Van Horn, Texas. The girl has been tentavively identified as Ramona Warren, of Norfolk, Calif. Boss is held on telegraphic instruc- tions from Sheriff Fox of El Paso, whose sole grounds for this action is that on the day of the murder a white woman stopped in a Texas town to give the license number of a car, which she said had been following her “for miles” to deputy sheriffs, The license number was said by West Coast police to be that of a car be- longing to a Los Angeles Negro. Meanwhile, a Los Angeles woman, Mrs. Myrtle Gordon, identified herself as the woman who had notified the deputy sheriffs, Despite this blow to the projected frame-up of Boss, the latter is still held in prison here.

The Workers’ Unemployed Council is preparing to call a county confer- ence to fight against removal from the relief lists, against forced labor, for rent payments and 50 cents an hour on public works jobs. Greensburg Jobless Make Demand for Food and Clothes Organize to Enforce Promises (By a Worker Correspondent) GREENSBURG, Pa., Nov. 22.—The County Committee of the Unemployed Councils of Westermoreland County, representing the miners and_ steel workers met and presented demands to the County Emergency Relief Board at Greensburg on Nov. 10, and as usual the Relief Board tried to put off the unemployed with promises. The committee told the relief board the unemployed canndt be put off with promises any longer. The unem- ployed must go on the slate dumps to pick their own coal or else freeze, ‘We are going ahoad to organize the unemployed for demonstrations to force the promises through. The demands include: adequate f'-ur, shoes, clothes; free medical aid and doctor's care; free shoes, clothes and lunches and milk for school children; one ton a month of coal for the unemployed; no discrimina- tion in the distribution of relief; relief for all unemployed; and indorsement by the relief board of the Workers’ Unemployment Insurance Bill, Jobless in Cambridge, Mass., Reform Union to Fight Evictions CAMBRIDGE, Mass—The Cam- bridge Unemployed Union is being rebuilt here by the jobless workers and will fight the iarge number of evictions taking place daily, and the starvation relief given by the city.

Fire 1500 Packers in Omaha Plant, Workers’ Committee Blocks Speed-Up OMAHA, Neb, Nov 22.—Fifteen hundred packing house workers have been laid off in South Omaha, where the Armour, Swifts, Cudahy and Dolds packing plants are located, in| the past three weeks. The N. R. A. Officials and the A. F. of L, leaders | have been saying for the past two| months that the N. R. A, would give | the packing house workers more work, These plants all work under the Blue Eagle. But now the workers, seeing the lay-offs, haven’t got faith in the N. R. A. any more. As soon as the N. R. A. speed-up went into effect, the workers in the sheep kill in Armours elected a rank and file committee and sent the com- mittee to the boss to demand slower speed on the chain. After much dis- cussion, the boss was told that a stoppage would take place unless the speed was slowed down, and the boss agreed to slow down the chain. The conference board held a special mect- ing, but the workers told them that their rank and file committee and not the company controlled confer- ence will handle the workers’ griev- ances, The Amalgamated Meat Cutters and Butcher Workmen of America does nothing for the workers, and allows a terrible speed up to be put into effect. The workers are talking of the need of a fighting industrial union.

Auto Union in Driv ‘For 5,000 Members Building Shop Groups in Leading Plants DETROIT. — The Auto Workers’ Union has launched an intensive two- months’ organization drive to prepare for struggles in defense of the vital needs of the workers when the plants, which are now either completely shut down or on greatly reduced schedule, reopen. The aim of the drive, which will last from Nov. 15 to Jan. 15, is to recruit 5,000 members and to build up strong shop groups in all the leading plants, with special emphasis on the Ford and Briggs plants, on which the union has decided to concentrate, Special mass meetings and factory gate meetings will be organized dur- ers News will be issued regularly every two weeks. With production now lower and unemployment greater than a year ago, the struggle for unemployment relief and insurance will also be developed during these two months, On Dec. 17, a big con- ference of auto workers will be held. Further information on the organt- zation drive can be secured at the office of the Auto Workers’ Union, 4210 Woodward Ave., Detroit, Chicago Waterworks Grabbed by Mellon Bankers’ Corporation CHICAGO, IllL—By ramming through the State Legislature the city of Chicago public water works bill, politicians are attempting to give the bankers waterworks paid for through $400,000,000 in taxes largely from small home owners. The law will be voted upon by the city in a | referendum, There was no discussion on the bill in either the House or Senate, public hearings were not permitted on this “grab” of the only city-owned prop- erty in Chicago. Gov. Horner con- veniently “forgot” to sign the bill, and after 10 days it automatically became a law, The new law empowers the City Council to mortgage the waterworks system to a private concern in return for building three filtration plants. The interests behind this are the Mel- Jon interests of Pittsburgh which work heer as the Operation Develop- ment Co. It plans to invest $3,000,000 and on this basis take a loan from the Federal Government of $59,000,000 already agreed upon, to build the three new filtration stations, and thus take over the water works, This thievery will mean immediate Increase in rents and cost of water forced the County Relief to pay the rent of Mrs, Montgomery, pregnant wife of an unemployed meat packer and mother of four children. to workers overburdened with high food prices and high rents. Nash Auto S @ KENOSHA, Wis.—On Monday, Nov. 20, over 2,000 Nash workers came out to the picket line, displaying deter- mination and miltancy in the fight The same afternoon, there was wit- RECOGNITION MEETING . Wednesday Night, Nov. 29th BRONX COLISEUM East 177th Street Prominent Speakers PHILADELPHIA DAILY WORKER VICTORY BANQUET Sunday Evening, November 26th at JEFFERSON MANOR HALL Broad and Jefferson Streets PROGRAM-——— Play by John Reed Club Workers’ Labortary Theatrfe Bella Dorfman — Artef Prominent Speaker |hessed in Kenosha one of the big- gest parades of labor in many years. other Kenosha workers, marched Uhrough the streets after gathering in front of the Nash plant, demon- Strating their will to continue the struggle, But on this very same day, when the wave of enthusiasm of the strikers was at its height, the American Fed- eration of Labor officialdom perpet- ‘rated their act of betrayal. They ‘concluded an agreement with the Nash Company and the Federal ar- \bitrator, Dr, Lapp—calling off the strike without gaining one single de- mand for the workers who have been The strikers, joined by thousands of | out for 11 days. On the very first ‘day of the strike, the Auto Workers Union, affilaited to the Trade Union Unity League, urged the workers to unite regardless of organization af- barat? to win the following de- ‘mands: H A.W.U. Program of Demands 1, Thirty-five per cent increase in Wages for all Nash workers! 2. Abol- ition of the gang system! 3. Turn the lock-out into an effective mass strike! 4. Elect a broad strike committee with representatives from each de- partment! 5, No settlement by de- partments but by the shop as a whole! ises of arbitration. 7. Mass picketing! by the committee without the fullest } ad every worker must get back his job! The leadership of the American Federation of Labor offered no pro- gram, when the strike broke out, But when workers enthusiastically Picked up the demands of the Auto Workers Union as their own, then the American Federation of Labor came forward with counter-proposals, They promised the workers that they are going to propose to the com- pany to: Recognize the union (A. F. of L.); to abolish the gang tem; to get the seven-hour day; to get time and a half for over time; to obtain rest periods for the men during the day; etc. ‘The so-called settlement which the American Federation of Labor agreed to, does not contain one single de- mand which they originally put for- ward. Instead of recognition of the union, Mr, Nash, in the settlement refers to paragraph one of the union proposal by stating that this “is fully covered by law by the automobile manufacturers’ le and we always haye and will comply with it.” In paragraph 5, the Nash Motor Com- pany says “full right of discipline and discharge shall remain with the’ company but this right shall be ex- ercised with due regards to the in- 6. No returning to the shop on prom- | terest of the employees.” The para- 4 We ante win |graph which the Nash Company re- our demands through miltant action! |fers to is that famous open shop 8. No settlement | Clause in the Automobile code, The settlement does not provide for consultation and vote of all men in}dealing with the grievances of the the shop! 9. No discrimnation against | workers in the shop as a whole, This any worker for his activity in the/is completely ignored, but instead of strike and lockout, In event of setle-|a company-union set up by the de- )Partments, is the substance of the |plan—this will work through the committees of three which will be set up only when there are grievances or disputes, Theer is only a promise to take up the controversy in the final assemtbly line and this is to be subject to arbitration. Thus the A. F, of L. officialdom deserted the other 3,000 workers in the plant and be- trayed the few hundred workers in the assembly line who were the first ones to go out on strike. Nothing On Wages The settlement does not say one word about the question of wages! Not a word about the gang system which is so despised by the workers! In fact, on this point, the offticals of the American Federation of Labor Stated that in view of the fact that industry everywhere is adopting the gang system, there is nothing that can be done about this in the Nash Motors. Time and a half for over time was completely thrown over- board. The same is true with the question of a rest period during the day. As to the seven-hour day de- mand, this was a fake from the very beginning, because the men were working 35 hours a week even before the strike, So this was not a point jof issue, Many of the workers going back into the factory are not yet clear as/ to the settlement. When the thing | was raised at Monday's mass meet- ing, the American Federation of La- bor officials created an impression that the proposals read were not yet final, and told the men to watch the newspapers as to the question of go- trike Betrayed by A. F. of L. Leaders Enthusiastic Labor Parade Turned Into Rout By Sell-Out; Organization Tasks Now Face Workers, Says Auto Workers Union ing back to work. No sooned was the meeting concluded when the Kenosha Evening News came out with an issue already set, in secret stating that the “Nash dispute was settled— Open Plant Wednesday.” They printed the shameful agree- ment which was reached between the American Federation of Labor and the Nash Motors Company. In the mass meeting all opposition was squashed. Workers who took the floor in opposition to the proposals were bulldozed, threatened, and ridi- culed by the A.F.L, leadership, When the vote was taken, there was also a shout of “no,” but due to the con- fusion and tactics of the leaders, no exact count could be determined. Must Organize Now The Auto Workers Union, affilated to the T.U.U.L. has issued a state- ment to the Nash workers exposing this betrayal and pointing out that the responsibility rests upon the shoulders of the American Federation of Labor officialdom who acted not as the representatives of the workers but as agents of the company, who from the very beginning of the strike discouraged picketing and militant action, and divided the ranks of the workers. The statement further points out that while the strike was be- trayed, the spirit of the workers has not been broken. The workers going back into the shop will continue to organize, to unite, and to fight for an increase in wages and against the gang system, and to prepare for the struggles that are sure to come. Mr. Nash is told that the workers will not starve—that the workers will take up their grievances in the shop and will fight for them—that the} coming struggles will be led by mili-| tant rank and file leadership and not by the agents of the company who call themselves American Federation of Labor leadership, Page Three -March Saturday in |Thousands, Scottsboro Protest Roused by Lynch Conspiraey Against Nine Boys, Will Turn Out NEW YORK.—With the danger of a massacre of the Scottsboro boys | and their attorneys growing hourly more acute, the New York District of the | International Labor Defense has call: led a city-wide protest demonstration | for this Saturday at 1 o’clock in Harlem.
