BOSSES IN THE
PRINTING TRADES
War 0N Wages
Union DrGtOs Up Its List
Of Counter Demands

The bosses have begun their
expected attack on the workers
in the printing trades. They
started with an offensive to cut
wages and further reduce the
living standard of the workers.
Only a united and militant de-
! Tense can defeat the attack.
The Chicago Franklin Assoc
citation (the employers organi-
zation), on Oct. q, notified the
Chicago Typographical Union Of
their intention to reopen nego-
tiations on the commercial job
scale. According to the con-
tract either group can open
negotiations after go days
notice.
Try To Reduce Wages
The letter of the Franklin Associa-
tiop shows an attempt on the part Of
the bosses to reduce wages. This re-
duction in wages will undoubtedly be
followed by attempts to force the I'M
ion to relinquish many conditions
which it has won. This aggressive
ness on the part Of the employers is
in line with the policy Of the bosses
associations all over the country.
They are preparing for a wholesale
attack on the unions in the printing
trades.
The members Of the Chicago Typo
graphical Union No. Is in a meeting
at Hodcarriers Hall, Sunday, Oct. 26,
decided to enter the following coun-
ter demands to those of the employ
ers.
1. To demand an increase in wages
to cover the deficit in budget.
2. Reiteration of the demand for
40 hours for night workers
8. Double time for overtime.
A. Retention Of percentage system
governing wage standards Of appren-
tees.

According to the U. s. department
of labor statistics for May 1924, stated
the chairman of the scale commit
tee, "the budget of skilled worker
calls for an income Of $2,s3s.40. In
San Francisco the arbitrator decided
that AZ weeks is the average print

"F. Harrington, President"
The Unholy Alliance
This was the fruit of the deal be-
tween the two noted takers. From
then on the two waged a relentless
fight against the progressive forces
within the union. The basis Of the
bargain made by Lewis and Earring
ton was that harrington on his side
agreed to drop Howat, stop pillorying
lewis and his brothers as convicted
crooks, while Lewis on the other hand
agreed to forget his private war on
Harrington. The result was a united
front at the indianapolis convention,
where harrington went down the line
with Lewis on every big issue that
shook the convention. Had the strug.
gle between the two takers contin-
ued until January 1924, it is not
likely that Lewis would be today pre-
sident Of the International Union but
would have been thrown out of his
Office under impeachment proceedings
The climax of The Lewis-Farrington
deal was an official statement de-
denouncing the progressive miners
movement and placing it in the categ-
DRY Of a dual movement to the U. M.

Union and the Districts were ordered

BIGGEST BOSTON
Meeting HEARS
foster SPEECH
Communist Carries His
Campaign to Boston

Especial TO the Daily Worker)
BOSTON, Mass, Oct. 28.--
More than a thousand workers
filled Scenic Auditorium to ca
pacity in Boston and listened to
the Communist candidate for
president, William z. Foster, on
the Workers Party ticket.
The meeting was the most
successful ever held in Boston
by the Workers Party from
every point of view.
Analyses LaFolIstts Movement.
Comrade Foster held the attention
Of his audience from start to finish
with the clearest and most direct Com.
munist message delivered in this city
for a long time.
LaFollette buttons were very much
n evidence on the coats of union men
and women who had been swept off
their feet by the LaFollette illusion.
gomrade Fosters handling of the La
Toilette movement VS. masterful in its
clear and concise analysis. Foster in
Boston explained the class basis Of
the LaFollette movement so convinc-
ingly and SO clearly that it made a
lasting impression upon every worker
present.
Without one unnecessary word or
phrase, Comrade Foster laid bare the
basis of capitalist society and the
capitalist state; with simple illustra-
lions drawn from the daily lives Of
the workers, Foster sent home the
Communist message The capitalist
dictatorship was exposed by citing
the actual experiences of the workers
in the COAL steel and railroad strikes
while the grip of the capitalist class
upon all existing institution was
shown by simple examination of the
function of school, church and press
Unemployment, the menace Of i'm
perialistic war and capitalist exploita-
ton was stressed as the real issues
IN this campaign.
The role Of the Workers Party and
he Communist International in the
Droletarian revolution was simply and
plainly told by Comrade Foster and
the necessity for the dictatorship Of
the proletariat in the place Of the
capitalist dictatorship was brought
out so clearly that on one present
could mistake the aims of the Com.
munist movement.
LaFolIetteite DisiIIusioned.
As one disillusioned LaFollette trade
unionist who joined the party said:
Il have waited to hear Foster before
finally making up my mind on these
issues. To hear Foster is to be con-
vinced."
And that about sums up the attitude
of the great majority of those present.
Comrade Foster made the collection
appeal and a total of nearly $3.50 was
taken up.
Comrade Harry j. Canter presided
and Comrade John j. BALKAN. Com
munist candidate for governor of Mas
sachusetts, made a brief Introductory
speech.
Meeting Splendidly Arranged.
The meeting was splendidly ar
ranged and managed under the direc-
ton Of Comrade Robert zelms, sec
rotary OF the Boston City Central
Committee, and the effect Of the meet.
ing will be to stir up greater enthusi.
asm and spur our comrades on to
more tireless efforts for our party in
Boston.

LEWIS AND HIS
FORMER FOE IN
UNITED FRONT
Harrington Again Eats
His DUN Words
BY r. j.. O'FLAHERTY.
ARTICLE Fifteen)

IN view OF the correspondence
published in the previous ar
ticles and the excerpts from the
speech delivered by Frank Far
rIngton at the special Oklahoma
convention, in which he pledged
undylng enmity to John L.
Lewis and undying loyalty to
the cause of Alexander Howat,
the right-about-face of this Ma
poleon of labor takers is aston
ishing. Or at least it would be
to anybody who did not have the
privilege Of following his crook
ed career.
There is one serious flaw in
FarTington's technique and that
is his weakness for putting his
thoughts on paper. Had he not
on several occasions declared in
writing that Alexander Howat
was not dual unionist and that
the progressive miners move
ment which which Howat iden-
tilted himself was not out to
smash the miners union, he
might be able to deny his for
n1er position on this matter.
The banning Evidence
The policy followed in these ar.
ticles from the beginning. is to leave
nothing to the imagination Of our
readers but to rely solely on dooumen
tary evidence and make only charges
that can be substantiated. RumorE
and hearsay are only given for what
they are worth tho any lawyer will
admit that oircumstantial evidence
is sometimes the most damagingly
effective.
For a while harrington thought he
could use the progressive movement
and the Howat case as club against
Lewis. He was in that frame of mind
when he wrote the following letter:
Springfield, Illinois, May 5, 1923
Dear Sir and Brother
II am returning herewith the cir
cular letter which accompanied your
letter of May 3rd l do not think the
men behind the so-called progressive
movement have any intention what
ever of establishing a dual organ
ization of mine workers, instead
their activities, think, are due en-
tirely to their determination to clean
up some Of the corruption that is
going on in our international union.
II think they are making a mistake
by terming themselves the progressive
members of the United Mine Workers
Of America, but am quite certain
they have no intentions of trying to
establish dual organization. Instead
OF trying to establish a dual organ
iEation l think they are trying to mob
ilize those who are opposed to cor
ruption in the United Mine Workers
Of America, so that an effective pro
test may be made.
ALEX Howat has repeatedly de-
clared that he will have nothing to
do with the establishment of a dual
organization of mine workers and ]
am satisfied that he meant just what
he said, do think however, that
Howat has much reason for complaint
and he will no doubt identify him.
self with this element in our union
because he believes that is the only
way he can secure justice for himself
and the Kansas mine workers.
