A strike call in the industry has been set for Noy. 15, but President McCabe is at present in full control of ne- gotiations, with the consequent danger that strike sentiment will be throttled and the workers kept at their jobs despite failure of the glass companies to concede de- mands for a wage increase. On Oct. 15, a conference was called of delegates from all glass workers’ locals, at which the basis for a universal wage-scale agree- Ment was drawn up for presenta- tion. The conference, held in Co- lumbus, O., went on record for al- lowing the companies thirty days in which to consider demands, after which the workers were to strike if their demands were not granted. Differential Exists A differential of from 50 to 30 cents per hour now exists in the va- rious plants of the country now de- voted to the production of flat plate | glass. In addition to requesting a universal wage scale based on av- erages for all plants, the demands drawn up by the conference called for an average 20 per cent increase in the wages of all workers in the industry. In the time since the presenta- tion of demands to the glass em- Ployers, it is significant that no preparations whatever have been made for a strike on Nov. 15. Fearing the strike sentiment, which was known to ex'st in the ranks of the glass workers, the glass manufacturing companies came forward just prior to the calling of the Columbus conference with the offer of a 10 per cent increase of ‘wages. Following the Columbus confer- ence, McCabe issued a statement declaring what a difficult time he had restraining the glass workers nen taking immediate strike ac- ion. Workers was one of the first unions which succeeded in forcing the granting of an industrial charter for the industry by the American Federation of Labor. The members Sent a delegation to Washington to protest to Green and Co. against | the continued ignoring of their re- | quest for an organizational frame- work patterned along ‘Industrial lines, Charter Granted After a hurried consultation among the official family of the 4. F, of L., Green finally consented to issuing an industrial charter for the union after he was assured its leadership would be in the hands of such a staunch supporter of the bu- reaucracy as McCabe, then presi- dent of the Cutters League. The expenses of organizing the indusiry were born by the League | due to the maneuvering of Green | and Frank Morrison, and the or- ganization drive was begun. In some of the plants in the Pittsburgh vi- cinity the workers were organized while the plants were totally shut down. When the employees finally returned to work the demand for the checkoff was presented and the company (Pittsburgh Plate Glass and its subsidiaries) was compélled to concede recognition of the unior! and the voluntary checkoff. Although strike sentiment is high among the glass workers in and around Pittsburgh, their demands are now in the hands’ of McCabe and the Labor Board, and nothing whatever is being done to prepare for the calling of an effective strike in case the companies refuse to as* Sent io the demands of the workers. | ‘There is little doubt, that in view of the statement issued by McCabo following the conference, every ef- fort will be made by the A. F. of L. misleaders to betray the interests of the glass workers and preven? the calling of a strike throughout the industry. Failing this they have already taken steps to assure the leadership of the strike being in McCabe's hands so that he may be- head it when the opportunity pre- sents itself. A. F. of L. guidance of the work- ; ers has succeeded in bringing about @ condition wherein the Cutters League, the oldest of the workers’ unions, is still meeting separate and apart from the rank and file workers of the industry, | - and no assurance exists that this group will positively come out on strike when the call is issued. i The Federation of Flat Glass Former Epic | Supporters Joining C.

Many gains of the workers in the shops, of the unemployed, are a result of the direct participation and leader- ship of the Communist Party. The influence of the Communist Party, judging by the organized actions of the workers, is growing. Yet or- ganizationally, the Communist Party is still not a mass party of the workers. There are many revo- lutionary workers, many very close to the Communist Party, yet they are not members of the Party.

Yet this whole anti-Red drive received hardly any support in the ranks of the local unions of the A. F. of L. It was rather re- ceived antagonistically, with indig- nation. Many local unions not only refused to comply with the dictum of the Democratic politician Green, but sent a sharp resolution of pro- test against the anti-Red drive. Spring Elections ‘The Communist Party in Chicago, as well as in the whole State of Illinois, is entering the Spring, 1935, election campaign today. A year ago in the Spring elections in Illinois the Communist Party was successful in electing five Commu- nists in the town of Taylor Springs to the Village Board and two So- cialists who joined with the Com- munists in a united front. In the mining town of Panama, one Com- munist was elected.

Baldwin, also favoring a united front of the two parties against war and fascism, admitted that never to his knowledge had the Communists ever violated any pledge they had made.
