ORGANIzE-SLOGAN
OF AMALGAMATED
IN PHILADELPHIA
Big Plans for Conven-
ton on May 18th
Thc "Nigger- Thief."
tspeei.l 70 me paIIy workerl

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. April l.
Conventions of the Amalgamated
Clothing Workers are as rule not
held in cities where the trade is
not organized. In Order that this
rule may not be deviated from
great organization campaign has
been launched here to strengthen
the organization.
Convention Nearing.
The convention of che Amalganla-
ted Clothing Workers will open on
Monday, May II, and will last for
a week. All sessions Will be held
at the Witherspoon Hall. The head
quarters will be located at the Syl-
vanian Hotel, which will accommo-
date all the delegates to the conven-
ton.
An arrangement committee con-
sisting Of delegates Of ali locals are
already on the job, working out
plans for souvenirs ard entertain
ments.
The first gun in the organization
campaign was fred at a mass meet
ing held March is, immediately
after work at the Arch Street The
atre, 9Th and Arch streets. The
meeting was addressed by Sydney
Hillman, president; Joseph Schloss-
berg, secretary-treasurer and Frank
Bellanca. editor of "I4avoro."
Between that date and May II
the workers in the clothing indus
try will have an opportunity to re-
deem themselves.
The general Office has called tC
town Lyman Schneid, to organize
the campaign. Shop and district
meetings have been held and indi-
vidual members are being canvasset
with great success. The old guarC
Of the 1922 strike is back on the
job.
Wages Being Lowered.
Conditions in the industry are de
plorable. Cutting of wages has be
come an established institution. Th'
hiring and firing Of workers By
manufacturers big or small is &C
cepted as a matter of course. Work
ers are being hired at the Fourth
and Market street "Busy Bee" anC
the Job invariably goes TO the low
est bidder. That condition must b.
eliminated. Ten Thousand workers
are engaged in the industry and a
least 10000 depend upon them fol
their daily bread.
The aim Of the present campaign
is TO once and for all abolish this
condition and establish some re
sponsibility to the workers whC
have been and are enriching tn,
industry. The local organization
backed by the national Office will
spare neither money nor energy :,
wipe out these miserable conditions
All interested members, or non
union workers for that matter, ar,
requested to bring all information
that may be Of value to the mali
headquarters, 431 Pine street.

System Federation No. rs for ex-
GLIDING the railway carmen from ne
gotiations with the company met a
severe frost at Tacoma. The South
Dakota shopmen proposed that the
machinists, boilermakers, blacksmiths,
sheet metal workers and electrical
workers deal with the company as a
unit and let the carmen fight their
own battle alone. The joint nego-
tiations have worked out after 10
years experience to the sole bene-
fit Of the carmen, the circular as
serted.
In answer the Tacoma Federated
Shop Crafts circulated a reply that
went to all members of the system
federation of the six crafts. The
Tacoma position is that the South
Dakota proposal means "the disin-
tegration Of our already weak forces
and If adopted may eventually lead
to the complete humiliation Of every

We are not in favor Of isolating any

DEBATE STARTS
IN CONGRESS- ON
JOHNSON BILL
Proposed immigration
Law Faces Fight

WASHINGTON, April Faced
by a fight more bitter than any since
the tax bill, the house has opened
debate on the Johnson immigration
bill which would limit quotas to 2
per cent based on the census Of
1890.
Vigorous opposition to the bill
has been expressed not only by
various elements in this country,
but thru representations to the state
department by foreign countries.
Secretary of State Hughes
strongly urged the immigration
committee which drafted the bill to
tighten many of its restrictive pro-
visions but ii sharply worried re-
port the committee laid the bill be-
fore the house without material
changes in the provisions against
which Hughes had protested.
Strikes at Japan.
The johnson measure abrogates
the "gentlemen's agreement" with
Japan and expressly excludes all
Japanese immigrants. The change
to a quota based on 1890 almost
cuts off immigration from southern
and southeastern Europe. italy, for
example, is reduced from a quota
of 42,057 10 one Of 8,224. Both
countries have laid strenuous pro-
tests before the state department.
On the other hand, the 1850 quota
basis greatly increases the proper
ton of immigrants allowed to enter
from Germany, Great Britain, Ire
land, Denmark, Norway and Swe-
den. The committee supported this
provision Of racial elements in this
country.
Quotas Are Reduced.
| Briefly the new bill:,
/. Preserves the basic immigra.
ton law Of 1917 with the principle
of numerical "quota" limitation in.
augurated in the act of 1921.
2. Changes the quota base from
1910 to 1880 and reduces the per.
centage from 9 to per cent.
8. Provides for preliminary ex.
ap1nation overseas to avoid the no
torious Steamboat race" manner o.
seeking entrance.
a. Carries numerous administra
tive features to lessen hardships OF
individual immigrants. gsd -
5. Excludes all persons ineligible
to become citizens.

American Oil Thieves
Transfer Operations
To Australasia
By w. FRANCIS ABERN.
,..W corresnondent Of Federated Press)

(StaH Correspondents
BRISBANE, Queensland, April z.
Big oil interests in America are
trying to wreck the operations now
proceeding in Queensland for the
discovery OF oil. This is because the
Queensland lahor government enact
ed special legislation preventing oil
swidlers from starting biue-sky COM
panies and fleeing tho people.
Oil has been struck by a company
working under the supervision of the
government at Oralla in the western
portion of the state. Oil and gas
IRE coming up in big quantities. No
swindling companies have any say III
.he matter, hence their wrath.
While the drilling was proceeding,
opposition and treachcry from rival
American oil companies made their
appearance. Machinery Cor the wells
was sabotaged or damaged. When
certain essential machinery for the
rotary drilling plant was required,
an open order for the machinery was
placed in America while secret
duplicate order was placed thru an
other country. This was done to
forestall the conspirators.
This forethought was rewarded.
The plant ordered openly was tipped
overheard in transit to Australia,
but the secret order arrived intact,
unknown TO anyone. The oil rig Is
now picketed and policed by the gov
eminent and nobody except those en-.
gagged in the work Of drilling is a.
lowed near the operations.

FILIPINO LABOR
CARRIES ON BIG
GENERAL STRIKE
Quit Sugar Plantations
In Hawaii
By JAY LOVESTONE
Especial to The Daily Workerl

WASHINGTON, April IA gen
eral strike of all Filipino laborers on
the sugar plantations in Hawaii is
now in full swing. Jacinto G. Mona
han, president of the National Con-
federation of Tenants and Farm La
borers in the Philippines has been
called for help by Manlapit, Filipino
strike leader in Hawaii. All the
workers and farm tenants in the Phi
lippines are rallying to the support.
of their Hawaiian brothers.
There are today about 10000
Filipino workers in Hawaii. Most
of these are employed on the sugar
plantations and are joining in the
wholesale walkout.
According to a manifesto just is
sued by the workers leaders, the fol-
lowing are the demands of the strik-
ers:
1. Minimum wage Of 50 for each
laborer per day.
2. Eight hours a day work.
8. One and half pay for all over
time; double time wage for all work
on Sundays and legal holidays.
| a. Equal compensation for men
and women engaged in the same kind
of work.
5. Proportionate increase in wages
of skilled, semi-skilled and unskilled
workers.
6. Abolition of all forms Of bonus.
Z. Recognition of principle of col
lective bargaining and the right to
organize for mutual benefit and pro-
lection.
U. S. Governor A Sugar Baron.
w. r. Harrington, United States
Governor of the territory, who has
been sojourning in Washington, is
one of the most powerful sugar
barons here. The workers are ruth
lessly exploited, tho Harrington, hav-
ing in mind merely his class interests
has just reported Hawaii to be highly
prosperous. The workers are COM
PEELED to live in novels and are par
ticularly strong in their opposition
to the fake turn out bonus of 10 per
cent for laboring 25 days a month
and a profit sharing bonus dependent
upon the fluctuations Of raw sugar
on the New York Exchange.
Bonus System Denounced.
Geo. w. Wright, president of the
United Workers Of Hawaii, has thus
roundly denounced this fake bonus
system in letter to the head of the
Hawaiian sugar planters association
"Your bonus system is all bunk
any you know it. You are forcing
them (the workers) to gamble with
thier unpaid quota Of wages on the
fluctuations in the price of sugar
They give their days labor and yor
pay them for half day and let the
rest of their wages with yourself thai
the price of sugar stays down. If i
does, you win, and keep their money
if it goes up, you lose the bet anc
pay them back a part of the Other
dollar they have loaned! But ever
that does not come out Of your
pocket; the consumer pays it many
times over in the increased price Of
sugar. It is safe to gamble for you
like loaded dice, or marked cards
Your bonus system is crooked, dirt!
game to rob your laborersv'
The Filipino workers are in har'
struggle. They are counting on tn
fullest possible moral and financia
support from their brothers in tn
Philippine Islands and in the Unite'
States, where the sugar barons hav'
their headquarters.

The ''Nigger-Thief."
XXIHEN the South heard OF
w John Browns raid, there
was a wave of immediate fury.
Men poured BY the thousands into
the little Virginia town, and the
bars were filed with savage, half
drunk men, who talked of lynch
ing the "old nigger-thief." Gov
ernor Wise had come down from
the capital, and he and others
prevented any such disgraceful
procedure. He himself was mys-
tilted by the raid. 1t seemed such
an incredible performance, for
these Southerners could not I'M
derstand the moral passion that
animated the Abolitionists. To the
South Negroes were property
private property. And an attempt
to free slaves was to them insane,
illegal and criminal. When mon
came with arms for this purpose
and Southerners were killed in
defending slavery, the crime be-
came doubly damnable.

WEST VA. COAL
BARONS SIGN
new WAGE PACT
Miners Will Meet To
Discuss Agreement
By ]. A. HAMILTON.
isnkeiaf 20 The Daily Workerl

FAIRMONT, w. Va, April D.
Most of the coal operators OF
northern West Virginia have now
signed the three-year agreement,
and complete ratification waits on
Lhe action Of the miners convention
of Sub Districts and of District
II. covering northern West Nlr-
ginia, which meets here April 3.
West Virginia does not come un-
der the Central Competitive Field,
altho the union men in this state
insist strongly upon being so IN
cluded. Their wage scale is based
upon that in the central field, but
il lower than any scale there, the
operators claiming both that their
freight rate to the North and West
Is higher and that the comparative
cleanness of the coal and thickness
of the vein (the Pittsburgh vein,
producing most of the tonnage, be-
ing seven or eight feet thick
usually enable the men to stand a
lower rate. -
Will Fight Cuts.
It is said that the new agreement
provides for the sacrifices Of certain
working conditions by the men, and
It is rumored that this means for
certain classes Of miners, q direct
cut in tonnage rate, but the exact
changes in the contract have not
been made public. However. there
will likely be opposition in the con-
vention to accepting any loss in con-
ditions whatever.
The union in this fold is faced
with peculiar difficulties. 1t is new,
the section from Morgantown to
Clarksburg being organized in 1918,
aitho towards Grafton some mines
had been organized several years
earlier. The union also constitutes
an oasis in a great desert of nom
union men. To the north is the non
union field of Greene and Fayettt
counties Of Pennsylvania; to the
east the open shop mines Of Mary
land; to the south the almost solid.

It is reported that at least on

ton, besides a number Of smal
ones will refuse to sign the agree
ment but will operate, or attemp
to do so, open shop. 1t is reporre
that in Upshur countv, severa
companies have gone back to tn
1917 scale, which is quite a b
lower than the existing rate. In til
present depressed state of the coz
business this can be expected in TIL
section and it remains to be see
what proportions the open sho
movement will attain. Reports ar
current that the union will start a
organization campaign but this ha
not yet materialized.

Street Car Men In

May Strike May Day

ROCHESTER, N. Y, April T.
Three thousand street car men in
Rochester, Syracuse and Utica, will
strike on May unless their common
employer, The New York State Rail-
ways, grants a wage raise and six
day week Negotiations for the men
will be conducted by their union, the
Amalgamated Association Of Street
and Electric Railway Employees.
The present scale is 81 cents an
hour for the first three months, SO
cents for the next nine months, and
after a year SO cents and hour. The
union demands a corresponding rate
Of SO, So and 70 cents an hour. For
men operating one-man cars the I'M
ion asks 80 cents.
