Urge Negroes to Aid
Garment Union Fight

Especial to The DAILY WORKER)
BALTIMORE, July pa double.
barrelled drive by the international
Ladies' Garment Workers Union of
Baltimore to, bring colored garment
workers into union organizations, and
to eliminate the terrible sweat-shop
conditions in Baltimore factories will
be launched at a meeting at 1912 e.
Baltimore Street, on Thursday night,
to which all lady garment workers
in the city, white and colored, have
been invited.
A strike of every garment worker
in Baltimore is the next step in the
plan. Every effort is now being made
to bring non-union workers into the
unions. The drive to organize the
Negro workers has the hearty sup
port of the Maryland Federation Of
Labor
Baltimore has long been notorious
for the low level of wages and work
ing conditions which the operators
have been able to maintain thru the
piece-work and contract systems.
Both wages and conditions in the
garment industry are 10 per cent
lower than in Chicago, Cleveland or
New York. Women are paid 40 per
cent less, men rs per cent less. While
the minimum wage for operators Of
the irst-rate in New York is $50
weekly, girls in Baltimore are work
ing for as little as S12 a week.
The workers demands in the
strike will include:
I. A revision Of the wage scale.
2. Abolition of piece work.
8. Unemployment Insurance.
4. Equal pay for women doing
the same work as men.
There is no race discrimination in
any Of the Ladies' Garment Workers
Unions" is the statement Of Sol Pala-
koff, representative Of Local No. 4.
Since all colored garment workers
will benefit by any improvement in
shops here they are being asked TO

CARPENTERS IN
FIGHT AGAINST
BOSSES UNION
Jurisdictional War on in
Kansas City
Especial to the Daily worker.)

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, July %. =
There has been no new development
in the building trades situation. Sew
eral jobs are still tied UP owing to the
refusal of the contractors to hire
members of the new scab local, organ
ICED by the Building Trades council
from fear of reprisals by the carpen,
ters in other cities. The carpenters
struck four jobs to get the sheet
metal window frames.
Five weeks ago the Building Trades
council struck three big jobs and sew
eral small ones to force the carpenters
to rejoin the council. Four weeks
ago the council organized scab car
penters' local and tried to force al
contractors to give them jobs.
Secretary Faker
An interview was obtained after
much difficulty with the evasive Rog
ers, secretary Of the B. T. c., member
of the elevator constructors union
He said the carpenters union" was
organized by the Central Labor union
Building Trades council and Master
Builders association jointly and are
issuing Building Trades council
cards"
He refused to say whether this
Organization" scab and dual to an
A. F. of L. union, is authorized by the

ing trades internationals. ct is, how
ever, demonstrations in most build
ing trades unions to call strike with.

this is far more sweeping exercise

Tells a Lie.
He refused to state on what terms
peace would be made with Local 81
of the carpenters or how many men
there are in the scab union. He said
that there are no Building Trades
council men out of work, which is a
lie. know personally over 100

not worked so days in the past 200,
Bosses Busting Unions.
Most of the Jobs have started up
again, some with Local 81 men and
some with Building Trades council
scab carpenters. The contractors us
ing Local 81 men say that it proved
unnecessary to bride the Building
Trades council takers to effect a com.
promise. There is no doubt that the
Master Builders association is help
ing the Building Trades council, hop
ing to smash Local 81 and later deal
with the other trades. 1t is rumored
that the effort is now seen to have
failed and that the scabs will be aban-
doned and Local 81 men be on all jobs
by the end of next week. The net
result of the fuss will be another per-
feet sample of faker treachery and a
bitterness between the carpenters and
the other trades.

1922 strike with it's union shopmen, is
passing the hat among Danville mer-

been attended only by the road

true August 2 this year.
A merchant who contributed told the
union men afterwards that he was I'M

workers announce that they are not
soliciting for any purpose and that
anyone soliciting in their name is a
fraud who should be reported to the

WOMEN ARE
FORCED TO LABOR

WASHINGTON, April 4-"Make
1t possible for the normal married man
to support his family according to a
decent American standard OF living
and the problem of married women in
industry viii take care of itself.
Tons of white paper have been used
in discussing this question, and solu-
tons without number have been Of
fered. Mary N. Winslow sweeps these
aside, and In a few words sums up
the cause and the cure: Married wo-
men are in industry because they are
forced in. Pay the husband a suffi-
cient wage and the wife will stay at
home"
The writer refuses to confuse wom-
en- architects and women shopkeepers
with women wage earners. She shows
how confused some writers ON this
subject are by citing one individual
who made this reference to working
women: "The perfect wife, devoted
mother and successful working wo-
man, Queen Victoria"
There are some women who enter
a profession because they have not
enough interest in their family to keep
them busy at home" said Miss Wins
low, who emphasized that her study
refers to women employed in typical
woman-employing industries and not
to professions or special types of
women.
Regardless of their earning capac-
ity and the length of their employ
ment," says the writer, married wo-
men are in industry for one purpose
and, generally speaking, for one pur-
pose only-to provide necessities for
their families or to raise their stand
ard of living.
in one study we found that practi-
cally all women who were wives or
mothers-95 per cent of them, to be
exact-contributed all of their earn
ings to their families"
Attention is called to the two stand
ards that are applied to married
women in industry. When times are
booming they are welcomed. When
times are dull the married woman
who works lis said to be a menace to
the social standards of the commu-
nifty"
The address includes infant NOR
tality figures from the federal chill
dren's bureau which show the price
babies pay when their mothers are
forced to work in a mill or factory.
In Manchester the mortality among
the babies of mothers who went out
to work during the first year OF the
baby's life was 227.5 per 1000, COM
pared with 1899 for babies OF mothers
who remained at home and were not
gainfully employed.

MOTION PICTURES FOR
UNIONS ARE POSSIBLE
QUESTIONABLE To Ascertain View OF
Labor Movement Are Mailed

Chester M. Wright, editor of the
International Labor News service of
the American Federation of Labor,
has sent out a lengthy QUESTIONABLE
regarding the advisability of enter
ing the motion picture field. The
QUESTIONABLE has been sent to all To-
cal unions affiliated with the A. F. of
L., and labor press.
There is q strong possibility that
either the American Federation of
Labor or the International Labor
News service may be able to supply
motion pictures to trade unions or
CARNATIONS throughout the country,
giving the labor movement the ben
fit of helpful pictures that will also
stimulate interest in the labor move
ment and its work.
Such a program can be carried in
to effect providing enough organize
tions are willing to make use of pic
lures. It cannot be done unless there
are more than 500 organizations that
will sign agreements to use pictures
when produced. Above that number,
each additional hundred users will
cut the cost of pictures to all users.
No profit making is contemplated.
Such pictures as are in mind would,
be produced to rent at about five dol
lars a reel per showing.
Make Own Pictures ft
Subjects would be of such nature
as to bear on industrial life, the life
and problems of the workers in home
and shop, the purposes and working
of the organizations of labor, etc.
There also would be pictures of sci
entific character and of educational
character. Every picture would be
free from Objectionable features and
in every program there would be a
reel or two Of special interest to un-
ion men, made from their point Of
view, dealing with questions in which
they are particularly interested.
The suggestion does not have to do
with pictures already made for other
users.
1t deals with new pictures to be
produced by Labor and under it's di-
rection.
It is the belief that through the
medium of motion pictures, labor can
come to better understanding of
it's own important part in industrial
life of the country, that interest will
be added to the work Of local organ
izations and that new members will
be more easily attracted and educat-
ed in the value of trade unionism and
in the great significance of trade
unionism.

The State Federation urgently APP

ers in their vicinity to handle and
promote the sale of union coal as

Undermined coal is equally as
high grade coal as the non-union
product. It's price is no more in any
instance than the non-union coal, and
in most instances it is less. Wash
