Mr. Tesoro told us to Keep a record of our wages be- sanning Feb. 15, and that back pay will be given to us when the new Prices so into effect. Meanwhile We worked the whole season at Prices the boss has chosen to pay. When will we get our back pay? When will the prices of last season be settled?

Organizer Mike ‘Tesoro admitted, in fact he boasted, that he gave up his trucking busi- hess in order to enter the “union business.” (It must have been a better proposition.) He also claims to" have invested $600 of his own ©ash in the union. He is on the Payroll without our authorization for $75 a week. How much of the Union’s payroll went to Mr. Tesoro we do not know, but now the local owes him $3,000 back pay. Even if ‘we take the figures as they are it ts. not so bad, investing $600 and having a balance in favor of $3,000. It is a fine mortgage until the Members are awake. Is Mr. Tesoro’s work worth $75 Is he entitled to the back pay? If we do not get our Organizer and Shoe in Cut Wages back pay, why should he get his? We were brought together into the so-called union, but from an organizational point of view, it is just an agency. Shop meetings are called.

He also nailed the lies spread by the Lovestonites among the shoe worke: and elsewhere that the Communists in Haverhill are responsible for the present situation.

Sparks, District Organizer of the Communist Party, pointed out | that since organizationally we are |in a better position than the work- | ers in many industries, we should consolidate our union forces to de- feat the attacks of the bosses. | When the chairman announced a | | question period, the renegade Zim- |merman arose, attempting to take over the floor. The chairman in- |formed him that the first question | would be answered and later any- one who asks for the floor will get a chance to speak. Zimmerman and his supporters, G. E.

Believe me, the white workers and the colored workers have done woke up. They have learnt if they ever get out of slavery they will have to fight together like brother union members. The boss elass for all these years have always made the white worker hate the colored worker and there- fore the colored worker was scared to say anything to the white worker, But that is the thing of the past, for the white and the colored worser have found out that they will have to fight | together before either one gets up. | Threat of Strike Forces Trembleau Boss To Drop Reduction By a Worker Correspondent Trembleau silk mill was forced by the workers to withdraw a 10 per cent wage cut. As soon as the workers learned about the cut their local shop union called a meeting of the work- ers to decide on action. The union is an independent, unaffiliated or- ganization and has over 150 mem- bers. At the meeting on Saturday, June 23, at which the majority of the workers were present, they unani- mously decided to fight until the wage cut is taken back. When the committee came with an unsatis- factory reply from the boss the workers decided that, beginning Sunday morning, every worker will stay out on strike. Two A. F. of L. officials, who have been attempting to get the workers of Emaus to join the A. F. of L., were down in Emaus on Sat- urday, again finding that none of the workers would even come to| their meetings (at the last meet- ing of the A. F. of L. called in Emaus there were present two speakers and one in the audience). They tried to get into the strikers’ meeting, but were kept out by the workers. On Monday morning the deter- mination of the workers not to stand for any wage cuts made the boss change his mind. However, the workers of the | Trembleau mill must be on their guard, because the boss has by no means given up his hopes of put- Wage Cuts Defeated a Pennsylvania Silk Mills EMAUS, Pa.—The boss of the} by the workers not the bosses. | Now, white worker, tell the colored worker that you and he have got to pull together if you ever get out cf slavery. The colored worker is waiting for you to tell him and believe me you don’t have to be afraid of him for he knows he can only get out of slavery with the help of the white worker, And the best way to get together is through the National Textile Workers Union. So workers think back what Gor- man, the U. T. W. vice-president, said in Danville, Va., back in 1931 and 1932. He said Mr. West was a} good friend to him. He also said Mr. West would have a good job) with the Riverside and Dan River Cotton Mills some time.

The shop committee was in- structed to see the boss to take off the wage-cut.
