Dockers Stay Out on Strike With Seamen SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., July 29 —Despite the fact that the Roose- velt mediation board has stated that all matters regarding the set- tling of the strike will be decided through arbitration, the seamen have flatly refused to return to work through the shipowners’ hir- ing halls, known as Fink Halls, A delegation.of seamen appeared before the longshoremen’s strike committee last week and asked how the longshoremen stood on the} question of the seamen, The longshoremen’s representa- tives made it clear to the seamen that the men would not return to the docks until all maritime trades | were ready to go back to work. The following resolution was adopted unanimously by the Joint Marine Strike Commiitee: Whereas: The decision ending the general strike—and also the | offer of the shipowners on Satur- | day—has recognized the pact be- | tween the several striking groups in the marine industry, to the ef- fect that no single craft return to work without the other— Now, therefore, be it resolved: That after taking the ballot on | arbitration the question of time | to return to work must be settled together with all striking groups in conference, and— Be it further resolved; under no circumstances shall any one of the striking groups be left | alone, but return to work shall be by all simultaneously at an agreed time and conditions.

Herndon _|Steel Union Parley Set For Friday 200 To Attend Meeting Of Industrial Union In Pittsburgh PITTSBURGH, Pa, July 30— Many delegates have been elected to attend the national convention of the Steel and Metal Workers In- dustrial Union, which takes place here on Friday August , it was announced today by the national office of the union. Approximately two hundred delegates have been elected in the Chicago district. The convention will last three days, opening Friday at Slovak Hall, 518 Court Place, Pittsburgh. Local 23 of the Mechanics Edu- cational Society of Chicago has voted to send four delegates to the convention. Mathew Smith, reac- tionary leader of the MESA, has bitterly. attacked the Steel and Metal Workers Industrial Union, and is maneuvering to keep the delegates from attending the con- vention. The fact that the work- ers are beginning to turn away from Smith’s class collaboration policies is shown in the fact that only three votes were cast against the sending of the delegates. Credentials have been received, among others, from the Bridgeport, Conn. Brass Workers Industrial union, which has 600 members. The convention, will include dele- gates from all parts of the countr representing every section of the in dustry. A program for unified the struggle for better conditions in the industry will be worked out. Steel Conference In Chicago CHICAGO, July 30—Forty dele- gates from steel and metal shops in Chicago Sunday established a united front committee to fight for their demands. Almost every major metal shop in the city, including Crane, International Harvester, Pettibone Mulliken, and National Malleable was rep-esented. The delegates came from locals of the Stee) and Metal Workers In- | dustrial Union, Local No. 23 of the |Mechanics Educational Society, and \from shop groups of unorganized | workers. Five Negro workers and several youth were among those present. Demands for increased wages, better hours, double time for Sun- day, against discrimination for Negro workers, and other important |needs of the workers formed the basis on which united front actions of metal workers are planned. These are to be catried out through elected shop committees including all workers in a shop, regardless of their organizational affiliations.

In local 499 the painters have set up their own rank and file strike committee to lead the struggle. Other locals are reported to be tak- ing similar steps in order to pre- vent a betrayal of the strike by Zausner and his agents. Joining with members of the Painters Brotherhood, 1,000 + bers of the Alteration Painte: Union have downed their tools and have pledged to strike until the de- mands of all painters are won. Hundreds Register In Brooklyn, where only the Al- teration Painters Union called the strike, where there are no func- tioning locals of the Brotherhood, hundreds of painters have registered with the AP.U. The Alteration Painters have set up headquarters at the following places—Bronx: 1472 Boston Road; Brownsville: 1440 East New York Ave.; Williamsburg: 686 Flushing Ave.; Manhattan: 313 E. Houston St.; Coney Island: 3200 Coney Island Ave. More than 1,500 painters came to a anass strike meeting called by Local 499 of the Brotherhood yes- terday afternoon, where a strike committee of 27 rank and file mem- bers was elected. Local 499 stated that it will recognize all local strike committees elected by the several locals, but that it will not recognize the illegal leadership of the District Council. A call was issued by Local 499 urging no painters to return to work until the strike was settled for all locals of the union through a yote of the rank and file. If Zausner signs an agreement without the sanction of the membership as a whole, the rank and file will picket the job, it was announced at the Local 499 meeting. A telegram was sent from the meeting to the Re- gional Labor Board demanding that a committee from Local 499 be ad- mitted to the hearing to be held today in the Board offices at which Zausner will be present ment it is possible that the groups | halls have to be under union super- | not complying will find ther- | vision if not actual union control. | selves handicapped,” O'Ryan told |The immediate objective is to have the delegation. the dock foremen, who do the real O’Ryan’s statement was given | hiring, come to the union halls for | in answer to a question asked by | their men.

At the City Hall conference, La- Guardia told the press that Louis Waldman, Socialist leader, was ob- viously satisfied with the Mayor's interpretation of the order. Joseph P. Ryan, presidént of the International Longshoremen’s As- sociation, also came to the City Hall to confer with the Mayor and after Jeaving the conference told report- ers that he was “totally satisfied with the Mayor's interpretation.” “It’s nothing to get hysterical about,” said Ryan. “After all, it’s a good thing. I wouldn’t have come down here, but as head of a cen- tral labor body, the boys would ask me what's the matter.” When asked if he was going to register his men, Ryan said “No.” “When I send men to investigate steamship companies I can phone | Police Commissioner O’Ryan.” This is the way Ryan has always worked, hand in hand with the police on the docks. But his job) has not been investigating steam-_ ship companies, but terrorizing longshoremen with a group of thugs under police protection. Ryan does not think thas it is necessary for his agents to get visas, but sup- ports the plan nevertheless. Protests against the police order continue to mount. Yesterday a) delegation of 22, representing more than 50,000 workers, headed by Joc Gilbert of the Taxi Drivers’ Union, Sam Nesin of the Trade Union Unity Council, Conrad Kaye of the Food Workers’ Industrial Union and Samuel Stevens of the Inter- national Labor Defense met the Mayor on the City Hall steps and launched a formal protest against the order of the Police Department. The delegation representing 14 unions demanded that the Mayor rescind the order. LaGuarida merely shrugged his shoulders and said, “There is nothing to rescind.” Members of the delegation pointed out to the Mayor that a teletype order urging the registra- tion of all union leaders was sent | out from the Police Department | headquarters on Saturday. The A. F. of L. Committee for Unemployment Insurance joined the fight against the police order and sent a formal protest to the Police Commissioner. a “Inspector Valentine's order for labor union officials to be regis- tered to distinguish them from ‘racketeers and other irresponsible persons’ is a dlirect attack on trade unions, and must be vigor- ployers or of the Industrial Asso- ciation.

Deluded By Own Agents | The longshoremen simply do not | go to work. The employers were evidently somewhat deluded by their own publicity agents. They actually convinced themselves that it was only necessary to raid and smash Communist headquarters, | raid and smash homes, beat up and arrest known Communists and} militants, whip up the Red Scare and slug strikers, start a deporta- tion drive—and the waterfront strike would collapse. | Out of some 500 to 600 arrests, the | courts have been able to fix a few) vagrancy charges and collect the} stupendous total of 15 alleged aliens | held for investigation by the immi- gration authorities. (In Sacra- mento the cases are more serious. There the authorities have pre-| ferred criminal syndicalism charges | against Caroline Decker, Pat Cham- file by immediate united action,” said a statement of the Rank and File Committee. “This order follows on the heels of the terror campaign launched against the workers at the behest of General Johnson, which smashed the San Francisco gen- eral strike, and the use of martial law and murder against workers who fight to protect their con- ditions.” The A. F. of L. Trade Union Com- | mittee for Unemployment Insur- ance and Relief called upon the rank and file in every local union, locally and nationally, to join forces against the liberal LaGuardia’s plan of licensing labor officials and to send vigorous protests against Mus- solini’s and Hitler’s methods in the American trade unions. The Office Workers’ Union, in the name of 2,000 members, denoupced the police registration order a fascist measure and called on all! office employes to fight against it.
