WAGE CUTS START SERIES OF STRIKES New England Shoe and Marsbanl 8o s and 13,100 custom of Leather Industry Crippled by Fight of Workers. Epecial Dispatch to The Star. BOSTON, May 8 ton recently has been the center of an exceptional series of strikes in the im- portant shoe and leather industries. The strikes have been fqught by dif- ferent unions, some local and some na- tional. The one thing they have in common is revolt against depression cuts in wages. Practically all have been won and have established higher scales. The center of the leather industry of Massachusetts, that embraces some 40 tanneries in Peabody, Salem, Lynn and Danvers, has been paralyzed six weeks by one of the most remarkable strikes in the history of that industry. More than 5.000 workers, who swept out of their shops overnight like a whirlwind, have developed a solidarity for their cause Which has held them out in spite of offers by the manufacturers of wage increases and arbitration agreements. Recognition Demanded. The men hold out for recognition of their National Shoe and Leather Asso- ciation, a new organization created in Lynn by revamping a shoe union. With this new weapon the men on strike insist they are going to stabilize the leather industry of America on a level of a living wage and a fair price. Their arguments have so interested the local community that a neutral committee, organized to end the strike, has urged the manufacturers to accept & test period of the uni operations 10 see how it works out for the remain- der of this year, with an impartial board of citizens to umpire disputes that arise during the probationary eriod. PJudge. Daniel C. Manning, a class- mate of President Roosevelt and for 10 years a district court judge at Peabody, developed the idea of put- 1ing the union on probation, 2s a means to break a deadlock in negotiations. The judge has worked strenuously to bring a new deal to the tanneries of his native city. Open-Shop Industry, The leather industry centering on Peabody has always been an open- shop industry. An almost paternal sys- tem has developed in some long estab- lished factories. Employers are neigh- bors of their men. Some grew up together. Wages generally have been fair and conditions of work satisfac- t Wage scales are claimed to be the highest in the country even now. Recently a few “sweat-shop” tan- neries have taken advantage of unem- ployment to push down wages below living standards. Conditions have been comparable to the sweat shops that have crept into the textile cities of New England under cover of the de- pression. Intolerable conditians, indi- cated by testimony of men with fam- ilies paid $9 for a full week, and girls employed for 8540 for a full week, working under dripping acid and grop- ing down unlighted staircases, have been undisputed. Such competition has forced down wage scales in competing factories un- til. to quote Mayor Bates of Salem, “the men were ground down until they rose up.” Public officials have warned manu- facturers that bringing in strike- breakers and armed guards was incite- ment to violence. The manufacturers’ request for the State police had been | refused. The mayor of Peabody has refused to call out the National Guard. ‘The mayor of Lynn has told the manu- facturers that he cannot use the whole police force to break a strike. Threats of certain plants to move away from the local district leave the community cold, > New Settlement Plan. Out of the circle of strikes in the shoe | Irdustry centers of Eastern Massachu- setts, a new plan for strike settlements has evolved, known as the Hudson plan. ‘ It is a device for meeting the difficult issue of union recognition. Chaijrman Edward Fisher of the State Board of Conciliation and Arbitration had to deal with this issue in a strike in Hudson a few weeks ago. He In- vented a form of agreement that offers the men the opportunity to organize #nd obtain collective bargaining and to sccure arbitration of disputes, while not demanding of the manufacturer a closed shop. The manufacturer does not recognize the union. But the State does, and the toard functions as a me- dium for negotiation between manufac- turer and men. Its decisions are final. Strikes in Hudson, Athol and Man- boro have been settled on this basis and one is now pending settlement In (Copyricht, 1033, by North American News- Lowell paper Alliance. Inc.) MEXICAN SLAIN Julio Salis Killed in Fight With Border Patrolmen. | ALPINE, Tex, May 8 (#).—Julio Salis, Mexican, was killed a mile west of Terlingua vesterday in a fight with Border Patrolmen Oscar Stetson and Earl Hill. * The patrolmen said they had been following the trail of two suspected smugglers when they were ambushed. In the ensuing exchange of shots Salis was killed and the other accused | smuggler was driven across the Rio Grande. Neither of the patrolmen was | wounded. Justice W. R. Carledge held the kill- ing was justified. . DEAN OF DOCTORS DEAD Dr. J. C. Harris, 73, of Anderson | County, Succumbs. ANDERSON, 8. C., May 8 (#).—Dr. J. C.

There were scattered “vivas” as the Ambassador was escorted from the dock to the Hotel National by 13 uniformea policemen and several plain clothes men. Elaborate precautions were taken to prevent disorders. FARM RELIEF CHIEF DISLIKES UTOPIAS George N. Peek Is Linked’ With Both Industry : and Agriculture. ‘ By the Associated Press. Belief that “an gcre in Middlesex is worth a principality in Utopia” is the | sympathetic creed which George N. Peek of Moline, I, will try to put into practice when he becomes Farm Admin- iftralor of the Roosevelt Administra- tion: Picked by the President to take one of the big jobs of the Federal Recon- struction program, Peek fits the picture. He has the height and bulk of a foot ball tackle, one of those ruddy corn- belt huskies typical of the rolling prairie territory. He was born at Polo, 11, nearly 60 years ago. Likes to “Go West.” “One of the most earnest and com- petent business men of the country,” was the way one of his friends de- scribed him when the selection was made known. His new job will be to administer the farm relief act, dealing particularly with trade agreements with processors | of agricultural products. Peek likes to “go West,” the open ! spaces calling him to communion with thé outdoors. Summcr time leisure generally finds him heading for Mon- tana. If he gets a few days off in winter, he goes to Texas. In business he is earnest, aggressive, full of encrgy. Learns Both Sides. By 30 years in the farm machinery industry he learned to speak the lan- guage of both farmer and business man. He has a lot of faith in both. Peck has medals as proof that at! least some of his ideas worked. He was a member of the War Industries Board in 1917-19. The United States | gave him a distinguished service medal, France elected him to her Legion of Honor_and he got crown decorations from Belgium and Italy. CHARLES TOWN D. A. R.
