Discussing the present situation | in the industry, Baxter said “Recently on the point of con- centration of the union, the Munson liné where over 40 struggles have taken place and victories won for the crews, a large passenger ship was delayed over eight hours as a result of the crew reftising to take the ship out until demands for back wages were met. The ship sailed | when the demand was granted. On another large Munson passenger ship with a crew of 250, the largest mass action on a single ship in 11] years took place. A committee packed by the entire crew marched amid ships and presented demand for their back wages, and for th proposed code of the M. W. I. U. The pay-off was granted immedi- ately when the company saw the | workers meant business. After sev- | éral Hours strike the ranks of the workers were divided and they went back to work but still resolved to organize themselves stronger and eatry on a fieht for better wages find conditions. | “Results Can Re Gotten” | “Only five union members aboard this ship, by using proper methods. succeeded in getting the crew to struggle, which proves that if more | serious attention is given to build- | ing organization aboard ships that results can be gotten. At present more attention than ever is being given to this concrete phase of | work. Also a campaign is carried on amohgst our members to ship out and to learn how to function aboard ship to build organization. Results | are béing obtained not so fast but enough to show us that this is what builds up mass unions “Our work on foreign ships has been chiefiy propaganda work.

Fight on Kickback Racket Urged By, a, U. Unity Council Judge Freschi Decides Racket Is OK; Makes It Lawful The Trade Union Unity Council of Greater New York issued the fol- lowing statement in connection with the decision of Judge John D.

Bargemen Forming Union “The bargemen are beginning to} look to the M.W.1.U. as a fighting | organization and as an industrial union,” Baxter continued. “There are so damn many rackets and so- called unions among the bargemen that some are cotifuséd, but the re- cent action led by the MWIU where wage increases amounting to six dollars a week were won, the barge- men are beginning to rally around the M.W.LU. afid many are lining up into the union. Real struggles loom ahead amongst the bargemen. “Our union has many problems, many which will not be solved un- til we succeed to get the mass of marine workers into struggle. Our main weaknesses are among the longshoremen. The failure to prop- erly do opposition work in the In- ternational Longshoremen's Asso- ciation, the ‘seamen’s reformist 18.U., has been isolated to a great mt and at the present they have d to venomous attacks against the M.W.I.U. and using vicious propaganda.

All the renegades 2 in the LW.W.; it row a dying outfit but is using its “ng yelp to disrupt and split the renks of the seamen and are so rotten they are even unsuccessful in this. However, these tools of the shipowners are not underestimated and a fight against them will be carried on un- til they and the shipowners are both abolished.” Anti-War Activities “More than éver the struggles of the marine wofkers must become the sttuggles of workers in other in- dustries,” Baxter declared. “The more support given the marine workets, the better position the workeis are in to fight against im- perialist wart. Struggle in the ma- tine industfy will have repercus- sions in other industries. “Despite the many weaknesses of the tnioh, it continues to forge ahead. Slowly but surely, problems are becoming a little easier to solve, the members are becoming more class cofiscious, ahd the mass of seamen are beginning to look to the M.W.LU. as their union. In this drive the Trade Union Sipplement of the Daily Worker can be a most valuable aid. and File Delegates to ILGWU Convention NEW YORK.—The Rank and File of the Children Dressmakers Local 91 of the International Ladies Gar- ment Workers Union urge the mem- bets of the local to vote for the following delegates: Ruth Bleecker, Lena Epstein, Josephine Finkel- stein, Lily Roth and Victoria King, who will fight for the interests of the workers at the convention.

T. too feel that now is the time’ to organize and prepare for sttug- gle. Signs of Revolt The mood to struggle is evident everywhere amotig workers of the transit system. Since the crisis wages were reduced through a series | of indirect measures. Not being; satisfied with this, in 1932 wages were the company union “delegate: “representatives.” At the presen time new layoffs are taking place, part time and split time is prac- ticed as well as demotion of higher paid men to less skilled jobs that naturally pay less. Hours of labor| range from 50 to 85 per week for ers. On top of all this the companies use “sci¢n- tific” espionage. “beakies” and spot- ters not only during wor time but also to pry into the private lives of the men Against these conditions there are signs of revolt everywhere. The most outstanding example is the 148th Street I R. T. repair shop, where close to 1,100 men are em- ployed. The firing of 14 men started the fireworks. The rank and file forced the “Brotherhood” officials to call a special meeting where a unanimous vote was cast to de- mand from the company the stop- ping of all lay-offs. This was “sol- emnly” promised at the time of the 10 pér cent cut. They also de- manded the re ing of the 14 laid off men and the immediate intro- duction of the 44-hour week with the same pay as previously for the 50-hour week. Mr. Dovie, Assistant Mi ised” to consider these demar After the company union officials had sticceeded temporarily in bull- dozing and intimidating the rank and file, all demands were rejected. But the revolt continued to spread to other shops. In the 8th Street I. R. T. tepair shop the company union officials “allowed” the workers to elect a “shop council.” This “shop coun- cil” has no other power except to take the grievances of the workers from the shop to the company union Of course, this is about seful as filing complaints to the devil about his grandmother— but it shows at the same time that the company union is completely ex- posed in the eyes of the transport workers. Betrayals by A. F. of L. Bureaucrats The Amalgamated Association of Street and Electric Railway Em- ployees bureaucracy has very well earned the hatred and contempt of the transport workers of New York. They betrayed and sold out the strikes of 1920 and 1926 and Isid the basis thereby for the establis't | ment of company unions. Just rb cently they added to their black! record of betfaval that of the bus- | drivers of the Fifth Avenue Coach | Company as well as the Bee Lines} of Jamaica, Long Island. At both! instances the N. R, A. Labo: Board | was the “solution” offered by Mr. | O'Shea, leader of the Amalgamated. | No militant tactics, no mass picket- | ing no spreading of the organization and of struggle—but negotiations | with Mrs. Herrick and trips to Washington. The results? About two dozen best union men of the Fifth Avenue Coach Co. fired and in Jamaica the strike of the Bee Lines is dying off by inches. The road toward better wages and shorter hours in the transit industry lies over the dead body of thé com- pany unions as well as that of the Amalgamated Association through | the building up of a new rank and file Transport Workers Union, Aims of the New Union The new union, basing itself on ger of the I.

Gains for the workers can be gotten only through militant struggle and organization. This Shoe Union Prepares For Struggle For New Agreement By I. ROSENBERG Every shoe worker in New York, while mobilizing for May 1 dem onstration, thinks at the same time of Atigust 1. August 1, 1934, is the day when our agreements with the hoe manufacturers expire. There can be no doubt in the minds of our membership that August 1, 1934, will be another landmark in the h ory of the New York shoe workers in the fight for militant unionism and fot decent living conditions. The shoe workers of New York haye, during the last nine months, learned to grasp the full significance of organization. Before the last general strike the shoe factories presented a picture of chaos, ruth- less abuse of workers, statvation wages, discrimination, no. protection against lay-off and discharges. To- day, after nine months of organiza- tion, the workers see the difference. The contrast is too great not to notice it. The shoe workers of New York will defend their conditions which they won last year. Need More Discipline That does not mean that all ‘is well in the shops. More thorough work will have to be carried on to strengthen the position of the Union. ponsibility and more regularity.

First of | all it is a key industry, without | | which all other industires would a staat diana i | \ | dominate the daily activitiés in the | | jers’ centers. The Union must be- |come the center of gravity in the life of the shoe workers. | In this manner our approach to | August first must be one of confi- (dence in our strength and in our | | ability to improve the functioning | jof our organization and thus. the \conditions of the workers in the shops. | | To Exterminate Racketeers | We are entering this three months | period with a renewed determina- |tion to exterminate the racketeers |in the shoe industry of New York, the Boot & Shoe agents. These | strike-breakers must bé chased out | {of shops which they claim to con- | trol. { A wide rank and file movement in every boot and shoe shop will! make these fakers and betrayers understand that their strike-break- ing and scabbery is coming to an end. The shoe workers in the con- | trolled Boot and Shoe shops must | stand on guard, not only to defend their conditions in the shop where they work but must be on the watch | to stop the treachery of the Boot |and Shoe officials throughout the city. The unity of all shoe workers must defeat the manétivers of our | enemies. _ All shoe workers, members of the Boot and Shoe—one united force on May Day — one victory for shoe workers on August 1! rs Gone, Hotel New Victories Since the misleaders and rene- gades have been kicked out by the rank and file of the Amalgamated Hotel and Restaurant Workers Union thew life starts to come into the organization. The new leadership undertook the task of reorganizing the forces of the Union as Well as fighting against the blacklist and the Guild both of which are interlocking tools of the bosses in enslaving the Wotk- ers. After the general strike, which was lost by the reactionary tactics of the renegade leadership, a great demoralization took place among the ranks of the Hotel and Restau- rant workers. The new rank and file leadership was successful in overcoming this demoralization to some extent. New shop groups have been established and immediate ac- tion is expected around several shops. The Parisien Restaurant, on 56th St. and Eighth Ave., just signed an agreement with the union with full union conditions, a substantial wage increase; and two workers, previous- ly discharged—because they de- mandeéd their wages—also have been reinstated. Several other shops are also preparing for similar action. Scored Victories ‘The Amalgamated--under its new leadership—also scored some victo- ries in its fight against the com- pahy union—Guild (the Interna- tional Geneva Association voted to withdraw from the guild)—as well as in its campaign agaifist the racketeering employment sharks. Vincent Employment Agency was closed last week as a result of the Union's campaign. However, gigantic tasks are still to be accomplished in the hotel and restaurant as well as in other branches of the food industry. In order to successfully fight the black- list of thé hotel bossés it is im- perative that all labor in the in- dustry joins together in a strong united fight against the slave con- ditions imposed on them by the bosses against blacklisting, discrimi- nation, fingerprinting and photo- graphing of the workers, the kick back racket, the company union, etc. Working together with the Food Workers Industrial Union and drawing in other food workers’ locals would not only increase the forces of the Union but would stim- ulate the fighting spirit of the workers and give a great impulsé to organization.

Ready for Organization | The transit workers are ripe and ready for organization. They are| organizing gtouns on the job, in the shops, depots and lines which they affiliate with the Transport Workers | Union, located at 80 B. 11th St. The immediate fighting program is as follows: (a) Retiirn of the 10 per cent cut. _(b) Increased wages to meet the rising cost of livitig. { (c) Introduction of the 40-hour week with the same pay as pre- viously fot longer hours. No lay-offs but hiring of more men to stop speed-up. (d) Safe and sanitary conditions. (e) Recognition of shop and de- pot committees and the Transport Workers Union. It is the task of all subway work- ers, bus drivers, etc. to agitate for these slogans and to join and build their union—the Transport Work- ers Union. By building up this or- ganization, and through militant struggles it will be possible to pro- tect and improve the working con- ditions and living standards of all transport workers. working Educational Drive Is inj Motion To Win Workers for Militant Policy NEW YORK. “Trade Union Democracy” will be the stibject of a lecture by Louis Weinstock at Irving Plaza Hall, 15th St, and Irving Place, Wednesday, at 8 p. m.

Ten Bathrobe Shops Settle with Union The campaign undertaken by the Bathrobe Workers Industrial Union for immediate wage increases and the restoration of wage cuts is spreading more and more, involving every union shop. Fifteen shops have been stopped off involving over 400 workers, of which 10 shops have already granted the demands. of the union for wage increases tanging from 15 to 40 per cent. At the same time the union is carrying on a campaign among the open shops in preparation for the coming drive. Leaflets are being distributed among the open shops and contact. is being established. The Bath- robe Workers have also decided to declare May 1 a holiday, to refrain from work and to participate in the May Day demonstration. the realization of the one big union in the industry which is the heaft’s desire of all the workers.

One of the outstanding issues in local unions has been and still is the struggle against the fascization of the unions.

Laderman, who was present at the fitter’s local meetings, was placed there to work with the Dan- | ners and the rest by the Socialist ; Party to teach them the art of covering up betrayals. He sat on the platform and did not say a word in favor of stopping on May 1. But he did go into a frenzy at another meeting when he tried to stir up the workers against the members of the United Shoe & Leather Workers | Union. This Laderman, since 1922, has been running from one union to another for a soft job. His record is too well known among the pocket- book workers as a political trickster, one without principles and without | a backbone. The United Shoe & Leather Workers Union of New York is call- ing upon the Boot and Shoe mem- bers to stop on May 1 and march} with all the organized shoe workers under our banner, to demonstrate for unity and solidarity against the fakers and all the enemies of the shoe workers.

UT the boys down in Phil Zaus ner’s union told him to go to hell. They're going to march under the banners of the United Front . . . May Day Committee. They want what all workers want—a united front. Workers in the other A. F. of 1, unions should do likewise. THE following little news report culled from the Washington Herald some time ago shows what kind of slimy snakes these A. F. of L. leaders are who are against a united fighting front on May Day “WASHINGTON, April 10.—All waiters in the exclusive Broad- moor Apartments, 3691 Connecti- cut Ave., N.W., staged a walk-out last night after the steward, R. S. Goetz, discharged the headiaiter, Clarence E. Walker, colored. There were 14 waiters, all colored. Chas. E. Sands, secretary of the Hotel & Restaurant Employees Alliance, Local 781, American Federation of Labor, granted permission to the Broadmoor to ‘borrow’ waiters from other hotels.” Strikebreakers, pure and simple- that’s all they are, these A. F. of L. officials. And yet the Socia leaders ask the workers to march with them. 'VERY time a delegation of seamen + or Jongshoremen go to see a ship- owner to demand higher wages they are met with the inevitable wail: “Times are tough. We're not making any money.” Here are a few facts, fellow work- ets of the Marine Workers Indus- trial Union and the LL.A., that you can use to stop the mouths of the belly ng shipowners: R. Stanley Dollar, head of the Dollar line, received nearly $790,000 in commissions for purchasin sels from the U. 8. Shinping Board. Stanley and Harold Dollar, alone with H. M. Lorber and Herbert Fleischhacker, cleaned up over $14,- 500,000 from three government-sub- Sidized lines betweeh 1923 and 1932. Seven million dollars net_profits were made by the Admiral Oriental Line, owned by the Dollar interests, from 1922 to 1932. Only $500 was originally invested by the company. * * T*'MBERS of the International sadies Garment Workers Union ate becoming convinced that Messrs. Hochman and Zimmerman are not interested in fighting for better con- ditions in the shops. The recent dress stoppage wiped away many illusions that the dress- makers had regarding these gentle- men. Hochman and Zimmerman broke up the stoppage and sent the workers back to work under the same old miserable conditions. The stark réality of the shops does not compare with the smooth talk of these so-called leaders. Following the stoppage, as a re~ sult of the militant united front activities of the Needle Trades Work- érs Industrial Union, several shops have decided to come down on strike to maintain the wage scale, which was abolished by the flat price sys- tem and the scientific schedules. Now Mr. Zimmerman has joined with the jobbers in a campaign to exterminate the shops that have signed up with the Industrial Union, at the same time becoming an un- official organ for the bosses associ- ation. Last week the IL.G.W.U. leaders declared a so-called strike against the Foremost Sportwear Shop, a jobber who had an agreement with the Needie Trades Industrial Union and whose contractors ars Iné:i« trial Union shops. The Industrial Union proposed that the workers of two contractors’ shops under control of the Inter- national fight jointly for better con ditions. Zimmerman and Hochman stated bluntly that they were not interested in such joint action. Their chief concern was to force the workers into the International and the mem- bers of the Foremost firm into the bosses association. ‘We must end this sneaking busi- ness of Hochman and Zimmerman in the dress trade.
