Keenan 5.—District one of the Amal- gamated Association of Iron, Steel and Tin Workers is mov- ing immediately to carry throv igh the promised action of the last American Federation of Labor convention to launch an organizational drive in the steel industry. placing it in the hands of special¢——————— organizers sent in by William Green, the organizational work will be handled by the rank and file} through regular committees. At the last district conference in Aliquippa a resolution was carried overwhelmingly which provided for the setting up of a district organ- izational committee of eleven, which will co-ordinate the work of sub- | committees, also comprised of eleven men, in each lodge in the district. | | To Form New Lodges In addition to organizing com- pletely those mills where lodges of the A. A. are already in existence, the district committee will direct the work of setting ‘up new lodges in now unorganized plants, and will demand that Green turn over all funds set aside for organizing ex- penses to such district committees. Vice-President Edward Miller did his utmost to prevent the organiza- tion resolution from going through, but the delegates, representing 20 A. A. lodges, voted for it by a large majority. Miller was only following the lead given out by Tighe some time ago, to the effect that the American Federation of Labor is “broke” and cannot afford a drive in the steel industry at this time. Part of the international officials’ reluctance to see a real organizing campaign in steel is due to the dif- ficulty so far experienced in “‘keep- ing in line” lodges which are formed suddenly and grow to huge proportions in a few weeks, as the; Aliquippa Lodge. Union Grows Rapidly. There the number who have signed pledge cards has already grown to almost 5,000, and the workers are clamoring for action. ‘The only action so far on the part of the international officials has been an attempt to split the Ali- quippa local into five parts, with five separate charters—but Phillips, Aliquippa president, and the rank | and file of the lodge have success- fully defeated all of Tighe’s moves to split their strength. | The last district conference also passed, unanimously, a resolution introduced by William Spang, dis- trict chairman-elect, protesting against the signing of any “truce” agreements with the steel employ- ers by Amalgamated or A. F. of L. officials. i There is broad resentment among the rank and file against the initia- tion fee charged by the top leaders, which is keeping many steel work- ers out of the union. Those in the union are, for the most part, ignor- | ing the International's orders, and are signing up steel workers now unemployed, seeing that unless the latter are allowed to join they threaten the success of any strike which would occur. Relief committees, now function- ing in the majority of the lodges in the first district, are the only con- crete benefit which the membership has yet received from organizing, and this was a move inaugurated | by the rank and file. In Aliquippa the union is so strong that relief authorities have been forced to recognize the A. A. relief committee, and to hand over to it the investigating and allot- ment of relief work.

J., Dec, 5.—Store and bar fixture workers on strike here, are appealing to all American Federation of Labor carpenters and cabinet makers to support their fight and to repudiate the efforts of the Carpenters District Council to send scabs against them. The store and fixture workers, here, for the past three years, have been working under unbearable conditions, ten to twelve hours daily and at scales as low as 35 cents per hour. Many worked seven days a week while others were un- employed. For over one year the workers | tried to get the A. F. of L, officials to organize them, but failed to get action, Finally a charter was ob- tained from the Independent Build- ing Trades Council of New York, which unites many independent unions in the industry. The strike at present is for: a 40-hour week, overtime, union recognition, regular pay day, $1.00 per hour minimum scale for mechanics, and increases for helpers. The neW ‘local, known as the In- dependent Store and Bar Fixture Workers Union, reports that its members and those in A. F. of L. unions are jointly on strike and maintain the best cooperation, However they state, “The Carpen- ters’ Brotherhood officials have been sending Brctherhood mem- bers from the District Council to scab on us. To the credit of most of those sent to take our places we must say that the union members have refused to scab. We call upon you to continue to support our first fight by refusing to work on struck Jobs.” The Independent Store and Bar Fixture Workers Union is located at, Bohemian Hall, South 17th St. and 19th Avenue, Newark, N. J, METAL WORKER CRUSHED TO DEATH LISBON, Ohio, Dec. 5.—Speed-up and neglect of safety devices claimed another victim yesterday, when |Raymond Peter’s arm got caught in the rolls of strip at the National Brass and Copper Co's plant. His entire body was drawn in by the rolls and he was crushed to death. substantial gains made by the 25,000 dye workers in settle- ment of their strike, as compared to the complete defeat of the gen- eral textile strike, offers a contrast which contains a valuable lesson to every worker. | The Paterson’ dye strike ended in victory because the rank and file, through their broad shop chairmen and delegates committee controlled their own strike, and conducted it on the basis of a militant, fighting policy. The general textile strike was de- feated because its leadership— Prancis Gorman, Green, MacMahon, ete.—followed a policy of reliance on the benevolence of the employ- ers, and restricted the fight as much as they could, to Roosevelt's com- pulsory arbitration boards. Results in Two Strikes The results gained by the workers in the Paterson dye strike stand out in sharp distinction to the results of the general strike, In Paterson, the dye strikers have just won a 16 per cent increase in wages; the 36 instead of the 40-hour week; any union man displaced must be re- placed only by a union man; equal pay for equal work regardless of age or sex; sanitary conditions; the right to strike and union recogni- tion; and other important gains. In glaring contrast to this vic- torious conclusion of the dye strike, the general textile strikers were sent back to work by Gorman without a single gain. Not only was the de- mand for union recognition lost, but. after the strike was over, scores of thousands were blacklisted and thousands are not yet back in the mills, The speed-up increased after the strike, according to numerous complaints now before the Textile 8 at Shoe Makers Hall.

Why General Strike Was Lost What caused such different out- comes of the Paterson dye and the general textile strikes? Francis Gorman at first said that the end of the general textile strike was a “great victory.” Now that the work- ers clearly see that the strike re- sulted in increased speed-up, black- list, wage cutting and long hours, the apologists for Gorman, includ- ing Norman Thomas and other So- cislist Party leaders, have a difier- ent explanation. Now they admit there were no gains but state that Gorman had to end the strike when he did on the best terms he could get, in order to avoid the break-up of the strike and the smashing of the union, An examination of these excuses for Gorman’s betrayal shows that these claims for Gorman are en- tirely untrue. First, Gorgan called off the textile strike when it was still spreading. The hosiery workers dyers, and other branches of the industry had not yet been called out by him. The strike was strong and solid. Second, Gorman’s entire Policy was against the spreading of the strike and for the ending of the strike at the earliest possible mo- ment, regardless of the terms of settlement. Gorman didn’t want the strike. At the national conven- tion of the United Textile Union Gorman tried to get the convention to vest in the executive council the strike date. He postponed the strike as long as he could, as he postponed the cotton and wool strikes a few months previously. Gorman, after he was forced to call the strike, narrowed it down as By CARI much as possible, calling out large branches of the textile industry. When the terror of the national guard was called into play against the strikers, Gor- man failed to take the obvious counter-step of calling the reserves of the strikers to the support of the strike. It was @ crime against the gen- eral textile strikers that Gorman and Green did not take immediate steps to rally the whole labor move- ment of the country to the support of the general textile strike. They weakened the whole struggle by re- fusing to spread the strike, by not calling for local general strikes in favorable localities (shoe and tex- tile towns of New England) and especially by not organizing mass campaign of the employed and un- employed workers of other indus- tries against the terror and in sup- port of the strike. It was a crime against the tex- tile workers that Gorman used split- ting tactics and raised the red scare against the most militant strikers at the very moment when these strikers were being shot down by national guard troops. Gorman tried to nullify the great militancy of the strikers by giving orders against mass picketing, by refusing to organize picket squads and re- fusing to hold union meetings. The strike was effective because the Strikers paid no attention to these orders of Gorman and carried on mass picketing, flying squadrons and marches in the face of his instruc- tions. Gorman’s Position in the Dye Strike If the Paterson strikers had al- lowed Gorman and MacMahon to take leadership over the dye strike, that strike also would have been defeated. Gorman wanted to fol- He delayed in} 1 REEVE he followed in the general strike. In the general strike Gorman gave the strikers no voice in the nego- tiations, no say as to the conduct of the strike, and did not consult them when he called the strike off. Gorman sent the strikers back to work without any sort of an agree- ment, without even a guarantee against blacklist, and did not con- sult the workers before he took this treacherous step. In Paterson, Gorman wanted to pursue exactly the same policy. He did not lift a finger to help the Paterson dye strikers. He did not call upon the A. F. of L. unions to support the strike. He made no move for financial, or any other kind of support to the Paterson dye workers. He urged them to accept compulsory arbitration of Roosevelt's Textile Boards and go back to work. But the workers of Paterson learned a lesson from the general textile strike. They conducted their strike along correct lines, If the eral textile strike had been the same as it was in Paterson, the workers would have made some gains in the general textile strike. The vic- tory in Paterson is proof of this. Rank and File in Control The Paterson strikers followed a policy of control of the strike by the rank and file. Their elected settle- ment committee was responsible to the shop chairmen and delegates committee. They decided to accept no agreement without a full vote of all the strikers. Their militant pol- icy of mass picketing and rank and tile control made the strike 100 per cent effective. Leadcrs of the rank and file came forward on the settle- ment committee, such as Charles Vigorito, who voiced the will of the low the same policy in Paterson that rank and file and guarded against any unsatisfactory settlement. policy of the leadership in the gen- | Paterson Dyers Won Strike Because of Rank and File Control; Rejected Gorman Policy Which Sold Out General Textile Strike The dye strikers won because they rejected compulsory arbitration. They refused to place their demands in the hands of Roosevelt's boards. They knew that once they had re- turned to work their demands would have been lost. When Anthoves Ammirato and other union leaders tried to get the strikers to accept an unsatisfactory agreement on Nov. 10, the strikers voted to reject such an agreement. The rank and file control of the strike guarded against any betrayal and finally forced sub- stantial gains for them. The lessons of the victory of the Paterson dyers should not be lost on the workers of other industries. Wherever the A. F. of L. leaders, William Green, Gorman, etc., have been able to put through a no- strike policy, and given the workers’ demands into the hands of the N. R, A. and labor boards, the workers lost all of their demands. This was the case in the auto and steel in- dustries, where the Auto and Steel Labor Boards entrenched the com- pany union after William Green had prevented the workers from striking. In these industries today union members are being fired, speed-up is increasing and a wage cut drive is being launched, under protection of Roosevelt's Labor Boards, set up with Green's help. textile workers into the hands of the Textile Labor Relations Board of Roosevelt and thus ending the general strike, Francis Gorman saddled speed-up, blacklist, eviction, wage-cuts and long hours on the textile workers. These government boards take their orders from the employers, whose agents they are. In Paterson, because the workers went out on strike, because they pursued a militant strike policy, re- By placing the demands of the | fusing to surrender to Roosevelt's employers’ boards, and because the strikers themselves controlled their own strike, substantial gains were won by the dye strikers. |the example of the Paterson-work- | ers, the workers in other industries | can make similar gains. | and standards of living.
