PITTSBURGH STRIKE
FORCED WHEN BOSSES
REFUSED ARBITRATION
tspeeIaI to The paIIy worker,

PITTSBURGH, May 1.-THE strike
which the Pittsburgh street car men
will carry thru to victory was forced
by the company's hard boiled refusal
to consent to the formation of a local
board of arbitration by John Fl. Rear
don, representative of the interna.
tional executive board Of the Garments
union. The mayor is equally blamed
with the company in the statement
which follows.
In all the conferences which
have taken place between the
mayor, officials Of the company and
the representatives of the men, the
officials of the company refused to
concede anything, while the repre-
sentatives of the men offered, to
concede several of their demands
and settle the controversy for g.
cents-an-hour increase.
Regarding arbitration, the repre-
sentatives of the men offered the
following proposition:
Let the officials of the company
select man as the representative
of the company, the men to select
a man as their representative. and
these two men thus selected to Sc
lect third man to act as umpire.
These three men TO investigate and
hear all of the facts in the case,
and whatever decision was arrived
at by majority of these, three men
should be binding on both the COM
pany and the men.
This would have avoided the
strike, but the mayor and the off,
cials Of the company wanted TO tell
these three men how they should
decide the matter before they heard
the case, while the representatives
OF the men insisted that the three
men should hear all the facts in the
case first and then render a dc.
cision.

morning unless the officials of
this city owned company con-
sent to arbitration of the griev-
ances of the workers.
Union Men Discharged.
Discharge of union officials by the
company, withdrawal of the right to
collect union dues at car barns, low
wages and other grievances forced
the workers to fight for self-preserva-
ton.
This latest move, of forbidding col
lection of union dues at the barns,
has awakened the most conserya-
tive workers to the open shop plans
of the present city administration and
the policies OF Ross Schram, assist
ant general manager of the lines and
tool of the big open shop industrial
concerns in Detroit, who have deter
mined to wipe out the example of
unionism in every industry OF the city
lest their own employees become
aroused to the need of organization.
Workers Double Crossed.
The Detroit street car workers are
aroused at the double crossing OF the
railway management. When the lines
were taken over by the city Mayor
Couzens assured the workers that the
department of street railways would
do business with the chosen repre-
sentatives Of the men. In those days
the union officers were granted leave
OF absence from their jobs while on
duty representing the men.
Times have changed. Big business
in Detroit has notified the city adj
ministration that the street car mems
union must be destroyed. SO the ODE
dent corporation fiunkies I'M charge
of the municipality owned lines have
begun their attacks.
The list of attacks on the union is
tersely given by William Fitzgerald,
first vice president OF the Amalgamat-
ed Association Of Street and Electric
Railway Employees. as follows:

1t is reported to the
DAILY WORKER by well in
formed Pullman employees that
Marshman has already confer
red with the Pullman President,
E. F. Carry, and asked for a con-
ference among the men, the
company and himself.
Marshman was informed by the
Pullman Company, the DAILY
WORKER learns, that the strike was
broken, and that the men had all
promised to come back to work to-
day. 1t was finally agreed that If the
men did not return to work by this
morning, Marshman was to hear the
strikers side of the case, and do his
best to effect a just settlement
He Won't Go Back.
The Pullman Company evidently,
was afraid to put its case before a
fair judge, for it has left no stone
unturned during the last few days to
get the men to return to work by
hook or crook.
"Seven-eighths," a company stool
pigeon, who has been wandering in
and out of the Pullman Offices ever
since the strike started, was again
on the job for the Pullman Company
Saturday. When the vote was taken
to refuse TO go to work today, and to
meet Marshman in an effort at a just
settlement, "Seven-eighths' tried to
sneak out the door so he would not
have to put himself on record He
was caught, however, and was jeered
by the men until he had to get up
and say he had no intention of going
to work today.
The following resolution was sent
off to the Pullman officials Saturday,
by the strikers committee, stating
the strikers position on the meeting
of stool pigeons with the Pullman
Company, where the stool pigeons
pretended they represented the strik-
ers.
Men Hit Misrepresentation.

ais who may attend this meeting or
other similarly called meetings in

APPO|NTEES OF
HARRINGTON IN
FEAR OF JOBS
Myerscough Writes OF
Goal Mine Blues"
By THOMAS MYERscoucH.

BELLEVILLE, ILL.,, May 11.-Ap-
pointees Of President Frank Earring
ton in the Illinois mine workers seem
to have interpreted the handwriting
on the WALL if the efforts of some Of
these men can be taken as a criterion.
The determination of the rank and
file miners to do away with the ap-
pointive power is so strong that the
men who now hold jobs by virtue of
such power in the hands of Earring
ton are getting afflicted with "the coal
mine blues"
Many of the men holding these
jobs, by appointment, are strenuously
opposing the rank and file efforts to
put an end to this method of ina
chine" building, and are proposing a
referendum vote of the membership
to settle the question. They are
claiming that this is a democratic
procedure, but the men hereabouts
say that they do this because check
up of the delegates elected has
showed that the miners are over
whelmingly opposed to appointments.
The working miners have for too
long seen the use of THIS power work
hardships on the men who are forced
to pay the bills. For instance, men
who once held elective positions, if
they have served the machine well
while holding same, thereby winning
for themselves the enmity of the men
who elected them, with the result that
they were defeated in a subsequent
election, are put on the pay roll and
the rank and file have no say in the
matter They see their only hope in
the referendum, because they know
how to put it over" on a statewide
basis. If the appointive power is
taken away and they are forced to
submit their candidates. to sectional
elections. these men know, in many
instances, that they cannot be elected.
Hence this display of meal ticket
philosophy" under the guise of democ-
racy.
However, this is not going to stop
the rank and file delegates from fight
ing at Peoria next week to do away
with Farrington's appointive power,
for they intend to follow the lead OF
Kansas.
AS one miner expressed II, I'VE are
quite willing to have some OF those
birds join us In our Job Of looking for
job. We want them to have a birds
eye view Of their own plan Of stabili-
cation in operation" And the fight
will be staged in Peoria. starting
Tuesday.

FURRIERS HOLD
CONVENTION IN
MORRISON HOTEL
Expulsion of Radicals
Big Issue

The International Furriers' union
will open its annual convention this
morning in the Morrison hotel. The
union has approximately $4,000 mem
bers, the great bulk of the member
ship being in New York.
The Furriers' union is under the
control of the New York Daily For
ward leadership. Able Cahan's agent
is Morris Kaufman, who is interna-
tional president. While the great ma
jority of the members in New York
support the left wing position, not
alone have they no delegate to the
convention, but radicals are not al
lowed to hold Office in the union or
have their names placed on the bal
lot.
Tenth Vice President Surof was ex-
PEELED from the union because OF his
progressive stand in the organization.
In recent issue of the Furrier, an
editorial declared there should be a
constitutional provision giving the Of
iicials the right to expel all left wing
ers. AS matter OF fact the officials
are DONG TINS without any such pro-
vision. What is the constitution be-
tween friends?"
Local Toronto, which has three del
egates at the convention, passed the
following resolutions, among others to
be presented for consideration:

speeches., nothing but speeches,
everyone of them except Giovinitti's,
either of the democratic republican
election year variety or of bombas-
tic appeal for unity, mingled with a
bitter denunciation of all militants
and a condemnation of progressive
action
The petty bourgoise leadership
comes out in broad relief against the
frank class conscious arguments put
up by those workers who are being
thrown out one by one from the con-
vention. So far six have been I'M
seated, five from New York and one
from Chicago. There are still about
twenty more objections. 1t is only
thru this violent method that the
present reactionary leaders can hold
control of the organization. Their
purpose is to remove from the con-
vention the leading spokesman of the
left wing and then after making the
left wing inarticulate, to push thru
their reactionary and descriptive
policy.

The six that have been unseated
are members of long years standing,

of them are still holding, official posi-
