Collins significantly failed to de- mand increased wages to meet the rising cost of living. Nor did Col- lins say a word about elimination of the speed-up or the right of the workers to elect shop and depart- ment committees, or the abolition of discrimination against women and Negroes. He was mainly con- cerned with obtaining the exclusive recognition of the A. F. of L. in the automobile industry. A. F. of L. delegates said they held a meeting yesterday and decided to demand a 20 per cent wage increase and a straight 40-hour week. Phil Raymond, National Secretary of the Militant Auto Workers’ Union, scheduled to speak late today, filed a stetement with the National La- bor Board charging that “The N. R. A.

Mass meetings in mobilization for the March are being held in all) steel towns, such as Duquesne, Stronghold of Carnegie Steel, Clair. ton, McKeesport, Braddock, Wil-| merding, Turtle Creek and Pitcairn. Special appeals will be made to young workers employed in the steel mills especially for part time youth. Several youth clubs have al-) read signified their willingness to march en masse with their banners. Over a thousand youth are ex-| pected to participate. So great is the sentiment for the march among the youth that the local Burgesses | were forced to grant a permit. De-| mands are being rai;ed in Turtle Creek for the township to feed the marchers. A delegation of twenty marchers will be elected to present the demands of the youth to the County Welfare.

Other demands included: No overtime; a guaranteed minimum of 40 full weeks work a year; aboli- tion of the speed-up bonus and piece-work schemes; election by the workers of department committees to regulate all production schedules; the right of the workers to organize into unions of their own choice; no interference with the right to strike | and picket and no compulsory ar- bitration. In addition the Auto Workers Union demanded the immediate en- actment of the Workers’ Unemploy- ment and Social Insurance Bill (H. R. 7598). Arthur Greer, President of the A. F. of L. Federal Union of the Hudson Motor Company, told the assembled employers and _ their strike-breaking agents, who sit with them as “Labor” representatives (Green, Lewis), that he didn’t know “how long we can keep the men back. The men are demanding im- | mediate action. The situation is similar to a tinder box. I may say jestingly, that there are men with matches ready to set the tinder box on fire.” “You're speaking figuratively, of course,” interjected Green. “What you mean is that there is danger of “Yes,” replied Greer.

He declared it would establish that the close shop is “not illegal.” What he didn’t point out is that | the bill sets up the enlarged Labor Board three $10,000-a-year “public” representatives who will be, of course, employer-minded, two open representatives and two “labor” rep- resentatives and two “labor” repre- resentatives who will be of the A.

The meeting is called for Thursday, March 15, at 108 E. 14th St. This proposed cut is in direct opposition to the lying promises of the Mayor and his administration. not explain is that this very provi- sion of the bill will aid the con- tinuous drive by the N.R.A. against all really independent unions, for it will establish the Labor Board as the supreme dictator as to who rep- resents all workers in any given shop. As Robert L. Hale. Columbia Professor, who supported the bill, pointed out in testifying today, that it is very likely to mean that the unions with which the Board’s “La- bor” representatives are affiliated will be favored. Hale warned the Committee that this point ought to be fixed up. This, however, is one of the purposes of the bill. It is the capstone of the Adminis- pany unions, and to turn them over to the A. F. of L. where necessary to forestall class unionism — the to join together and prepare for strike to win their demands. The TARZAN” COOPER tration’s new drive to re-dress com- | leafiet_ also points out they can ex- pect no help from Washington in establishing real trade unions, wip- ing out speed-up and in winning wage increases to meet rising living costs. The local press reports on Collins’ stand at the hearings show that the A. F. of L. leaders are falling in with maneuvers of the manufac- turers by laying low on the wage) question, speed-up, and by propos- | ing a series of steps which would| avoid the issue of trade union or- ganization coming to a head at a} moment when the workers are ready | to strike for it. At the same time, | Matthew Smith, General Secretary of the M.E.S., has also lent a hand to the manufacturers to stifie the strike sentiment by stating in a tele- gram to the Labor Board: “We feel that a widespread dislocation of au- tomobile industry at this time would be a national calamity and severe handicap to the President’s Re- covery Program. We hope your Board can avert this tragedy by ar- ranging an amicable settlement.” The A.W.U. is taking measures to intensify its work of organizing auto | workers into its ranks and building | a united front for strike action.
