Calis Mass Protest Meet for Saturday NEW YORK.—In order to begin @ campaign against the intolerable conditions of the workers of the wholesale cake baking industry, the Food Workers’ Industrial Union has issued a call to workers of all departments for a mass meeting to be held Saturday, March 29, at 2 Pp. m. at the Manhattan Lyceum, 66 E. Fourth St. Some of the planis which have | received the call are Elffenbaim, Gertners, Arcadia, Reber, Your Baking and others. Bakers in these plants receive as low as $12 a week. The top wage is $30 for 12 to 14 hours of work. Helpers are receiving as little as $8. Many chauffeurs work for $15, with hours ranging from 12 to 14. The com- panies classify chauffeurs who are mostly married men as delivery boys. Packers are another under- paid group, receiving from $12 to $20 a week. With living costs rising constantly these wages cannot pro- vide a decent living. One worker stated: “I spend so many hours at the plant I don't get a chance to see my family.” Mean- while the bosses continue to rake in_huge profits. The bosses have been able to main- tain these conditions because the workers have no organization to fight back. The news that a union is being formed is spreading like wild-fire among the workers, who are anxious for organization. A packed mass meeting is expected. Call for Witnesses of Police Attack Against Anti-White Guard Rally NEW YORK. — Witnesses of the police attack onthe anti-White Guard demonstration in this city several months ago are urged to get in touch with Fannie Horowitz, 299 Broadway, International Labor De- fense attorney who is defending Doli Myschne, whose hearing is set for next week. Mass pressure has forced the re- lease of the other workers arrested with Myshne, but the latter is still held on a charge of felonious as- Sault, although all witnesses of the demonstration agree that police launched an unprovoked attack on the workers and brutally beat up Myshne and others.

Section Six to Hold Meet for Taxi Strike NEW YORK. — A mass meeting for the taxi strikers will be held Thursday, March 29, at 8 p. m., at the Paradise Ball Room, Grand and | |Havermeyer Sts. There will be taxi striker speakers and in addition. Martha Stone, section organizer of the Communist Party, Section 6, which is organizing the meeting, and Sam Nessin of the Trade Union Unity Council will speak. James Field will be chairman. The taxi | strikers are expected to attend in a body. AFL Chiefs Fearing Struggle Hold Up AutoSellout Report (Continued from Page 1) A. F. of L. delegates, with the of- ficials preparing the ground to |stampede the workers into accept- | ing the sell-out agreement. arthur | Law, President of the Flint Fisher Body A. F. of L. local, is reported | in the Detroit News yesterday as | having said: “This settlement is not | what the boys wanted originally. But they expressed themselves as willing to wait till they hear from their delegates before acting. The officers will talk it over with the men in the meantime.” The sell-out nature of the Wash- ington agreement becomes ever clearer. Not only did the workers not get recognition but they got domination of the company unions thrust upon them. They got no wage increases; no abolition of | | speed-up. They are now threatened with the blacklist through the | agreement to turn over membership | rolls, and on top of it all they get: “A works council,” which the De- troit News openly admits in its story from its Washington Bureau, “rec- ognizes the principle of the open hop.” The correspondent also states that the works council is a scheme for “heading off any further labor troubles in the open shop industry.” | All of which means that union or. ganization of the workers is now put at the mercy of company unions and will be chopped to pieces by the manufacturers, The mediation board being set up | | will give no protection to the work- | ers discriminated against for union activities. This is clear not only for the purposes for which it was es- tablished, but also from its compo- sition, especially the “labor” repre- |sentation that has been selected. | Richard L.

Leaders of the union took credentials from the committee and kept them waiting until the meeting was over. After the mect- ing was over the union officials tore up the credentials. The rank and file of the union, however, contributed $1.73 to the strike and wished the drivers vic- tory in their struggle. Delegations from the Taxi Driv- ers Union were not permitted by A. F. of L. officials to take the floor at any of the A. F. of L. meetings which were held in the Labor Temple, 241 E. 84th St., on Thursday and Friday. The com- mittees were told by union leaders that the A. F. of L. does not recog- nize the union.
