LABOR BEGINS
To ORGANIZE
WOMEN
A. F. of L. Launches Program
to Band Together Workers
of D. C..

Labor's fight against prospective
cuts in the wages of working
women in Washington begins today:
The drive to organize Women and
girls in all trades and empioyments
is ushered in this morning with
conference of the committee of five.
headed by Frank Morrison, sec
rotary of the American Federation
of Labor, at which broad program
of reprisal against unfair employ
ers' is being considered.
The organizers brought to Wash
ington to unionize the working
women are being kept under cover.
and their efforts will be surrounded
with the deepest secrecy until some
results are forthcoming. For more
than week some preliminary work
of strengthening the existing unions
among working women in the city
has been done, and labor Of
ficials say the task of creating ef-
fective union organizations among
them will not be difficult
Reprisals against se-called unfair
employers" whom the A. F. of. L.
classifies as those who reduce wa ges
because of the notification of the
minimum wage act of the Supreme
Court, are likely to take a wide
scope, A. F. of l.. officials say. It
is understood that the revival of
boycott tactics is being considered.
The possible circulation of an "un-
fair list" Of local employers who
cut wages is talked of, and it is
pointed out that the unions now
are in "a position to make such a
boycott effective. They would call
upon such affiliated organizations as
the Federation of Federal EN-
ployes, with its thousands OF mem
bers among the Government work
ers, to participate in refusal to
patroniZe merchantS and others who
are considered unfair, to labor.
The Central Labor Union agreed
to give it's strongest cooperation
with the American Federation of
Labor program at meeting held
Tuesday night. The Federation of
Federal Employees has taken no
formal action in support of the re-
'i'iSal program, but is expected to
do SO as soon as definite plans of
action are formulated.

Mrs. j. w. F'rizzell, president of
the federation, is convinced that the
boycott is the weapon readiest at
hand for bringing down sugar costs
to their recent and normal retail
figures-7 to cents a pound.

The exchange also asserted that it
performs "a great and Important
ECONOMIC function and that all
facts OF itself and it's members have
been approved by the Supreme
Court of the United States and by

proposes to show that the Sugar
