The officials re- jected the Industrial Union's pro- posal, Nearly 1,000 workers at a special meeting called by the Indus- trial Union approved a united strike and steps towards forming one big union in the industry. For months, Albertson stated, the Industrial Union has proposed one union in the industry to the Amalga-j| mated. “On January 23 we finally heard from the Amalgamated officials. They sent us a resolution adopted at an} educational meeting of the union! Which declared the members in favor | of one union in the industry but} proposed that this be accomplished by | the Industrial Union’s merger with | the Amalgamated and the severing| of our connection with the T.U.U.L.” | Said Albertson, | “We answered this letter by declar- ing that the decision on which union the workers want to join should be left to the members of the respective unions and that it is our objective to| establish a joint committee to plan for one union and have the members vote on which policy they wish val : he general Will be Steno’s Notes Show Deputy McCauliffe Lied in Powers Case, | NEW XORK.—Thrown into confu-| sion by the testimony of George Ber- nard, court stenographer, District At-| torney Panger was forced to stand by | while his chief witness, Inspector Mc- | Auliffe, was discredited and proved to be a perjurer in the case of George | Powers, being held at the General| Sessions Court, Franklin and Centre | streets.

The call follows on rf of 600 workers of the Wal-~ ria. Hotel on Tuesday night. ately after the Amalgamated officials mphattcally rejected appeals of a mittee of 150 of their own mem- and of the Waldorf Hot trial Union under one united strike leadership. Waiters of the Hotel Lincoln and the New Weston hotels had already started the walk-out on Thursday night Officials of Local 16 of the A. F. of L, aiding the hotel bosses to break the strike, applied for a court order yesterday to restrain the Amalga- mated from picketing. Strike headquarters were estab- lished by the Industrial Union at their offices at 60 West 45th St. and at Church Hall, 344 W. 36th St. Recognition of the union is the principal demand of the Amalga- mated. The strike meeting last night at Industrial Union offices was sched- uled to decide on the economic demands to be raised in the strike. After an enthusiastic meeting at Bryant Hall Thursday night, called by the Industrial Union, in which nearly 1,000 workers pledged support of the strike and called for one union in the industry and one united strike, 150 workers, mostly members of the Amalgamated, volunteered to go to their officials and demand unity in the strike. Costas, renegade organizer of the Amalgamated, who met the workers, called them a mob and re- fused to seak with them, stating he would only accept a committee of 15. Later Costas retreated and met with the members. Ben Field, secre- tary of the union, attacked the poli- cies of the Industrial Union and threatened that the workers support- ing its policies would have to make their choice. jected a united strike. Later the lights were turned off in the halt where the workers were gathered, in order to force them out of the hall and prevent Jay Rubin, secretary of the Food Workers’ Industrial Union from speaking to the workers. Rubin exposed Field’s failure to reply to repeated requests to work out plans for unity of the rank and file, and showed that it was the Amalgamated officials who were re- fusing united action. The rank and file of the hotel workers are united and determined to carry on mass picketing at the hotels to help win the st: Need Volunteers to Sell ‘Daily’ in Harlem NEW YORK.—Volunteers are needed to help carry out a mass sale of the Daily Worker during the Scottsboro parade in Harlem this Saturday at 2 p.m. All comrades and sympathizers who can possibly volunteer for ibis revolutionary work are urged to do so.
