'MAJAH' BERRY
BROKE STRIKE
IN new YORK
Supported P u bIish e r
Against Union Men

NEW YORK. Sept. S--As a member
OF Local Union No. % Newspaper
Freshmen since 1915, wish to show
other union men the method by which
"Majah" Berry, the International
president, makes union men.
On the morning of Jan. IS, 1925,
contrary to the contract we were
working under the management Of the
New York Evening Journal attempted
to cut down the number Of appren-
tees, namely nyboys and carriers, on
the different presses in the plant. The
apprentices refused to work under
these conditions and the plant was
held up for about seven hours for the
men refused to do, the. boys work.
The management then agreed to give
them the regular number Of boys.
But on the morning of March 2, the
workers found the plant patroled by
police and the men were instructed to
go to work by the chairman of the
shop. This chairman was appointed
by the boss and not elected by the
men. He was sanctioned by the un.
ion but the fact is the union is but
an employment agency for the pub
lishers' association and the appointee
is never contested by the union.
Eight Of the boys who quit ON Jan. is
were singled out and Knocked of for
non-payment of dues. This was really
subterfuge as fully majority OF
the men in the local are backward in
dues and some Of these boys who were
singled out really had their dues paid
up to date.
Berry Handed OFT Cards.
At the same time the boss had as
sembled on the nth floor of his plant
body Of strikebrealsrs numbering
about 200 who were waiting to take
the Jobs Of those men who they knew
would quit In sympath! with the boys
who were fred. These strikebreakers
were handed union cards by Berry's
agent altho they had rever made any
application for these ards and never
wanted them. They we're paid double
the wage that was Prevailing in the
shop. To keep within the law of the
organization the remaining boys did
not quit until the rats appeared in the
pressroom prepared to take the place |
OF the boys who were knocked of. |
Then all except one q the hundred
and four boys employee in this plant |
Immediately quit and fer his loyalty"
the one who stayed was rewarded
with a journeyman's cara by Berry.
Union Merk n..is
"A ervupTor us preBsmen then went
up to the chairman and asked him if
he was going to stand for such raw
deal and he said What can we do
they all have union cards and are
union men" and he ordered us back
to work. At this So OF us quit rather
than work with nonunion men. When
the night crew came in all of the
boys quit in sympathy. Thus about
ESQ men and boys quit and are now
being reinstated one BY one gradually.
They have been indefinitely sus-
pended. Only about so have received
their cards back and that depends on
how much political influence they
have.
That is how "MajahY Berry MAKES
union men.

In an Interview today.
Given at this meeting attended only
by members Of the union who had
been given the O. K of the Joint
Boards business agents, there was
strong opposition to Sig1nan himself
as well as to his plan
eff the officials of the union really
want to know what the shop chair

been voiced by workers in all parts
of the country as well as by the ma

There can be no further question

MINNESOTA LEGISLATURE
CONTAINS 72 FARMERS

More than one third Of all the
members of the Minnesota state
legislature are farmers, says a
report which has been compiling
figures Of farmer representation
in the state legislatures and in
Congress.
OF the 81 Senators in the state
legislature, 16 are farmers. and
Sc out of the 13l members Of the
lower house list themselves as
agriculturists. A few divide
their time between farming and
banking, farming and insurance,
or some other profession or occu-
patton in addition to their farm
interests.
Iowa with a farm population of
as per cent has 80 farmers in its
legislature membership Of 158.
the highest proportion Of any
of the states studied. Pennsyl-
vania with its II per cent farm
population. has only IS farmers
in its Legislature out Of a total of
25S members. Mrs. Mabel A.
Gillespie Of Gretna. a member Of
the Nebraska lower house, is the
only farmers wife on record
holding a legislative job
The ratio of representation Of
farmers in Congress is lower than
the average found in the state
legislatures. With a national
farm population of 80 per cent,
the Goth Congress finds only five
farmers in the Senate and q in
the House of Representatives.
