WORKERS IN NY.
OUT ON STRIKE.
Demand Wage Increase
and Union Shop

NEW YORK, Feb. ts-WhIte goods
workers, silk underwear workers, chill
dren's dress makers, bathrobe and
house dress workers are once again
striking in New York under direction
Of the miscellaneous trades district
council, international Ladies' Garment
Workers, to gain union organization
in all shops and improve conditions.
Between 10000 and $4,000 workers,
95 per cent girls. are employed in
these branches OF the garment trades
in New York alone. Men involved
are mostly cutters and some pressers.
Least Skilled. Lowest Paid
A concerted strike Of these different
trades after careful campaign of
several months is new departure in
the unions tactics. Previous strikes
were usually the spontaneous rebel
lion against impossible conditions in
one of the trades, with consequent
spread of the strike feeling to other
trades in the garment industry.
The white goods, or silk and muslin
underwear workers, are and always
have been the least skilled and lowest
paid workers in the industry Many
native American and Negro girls have
come into this branch since immigra-
ton has been limited. Altho they are
the hardest to approach with union
ideas, the girl organizers in charge of
the campaign for the international
have had considerable success in in
teresting these workers.
Demand Wage Increase
Wage increases of 20 per cent, I'M
ion shop, sanitary conditions and the
adoption of the sanitary label are the
union demands in the strike.
Prison labor competition has un-
dermined the house dress trade con-
siderably, to the harm of both worker
and employer. The silk underwear
workers, however. have Jared better.
Wages in these trades range from
SIG to $40. but many girls make as
little as $14 and even $12. The higher
wages are made by cutters and the
most highly skilled operators on the
machines. The trades are highly sea-
sonal so that average wages are lower
than weekly wages indicate.

WORKERS PARTY
URGES AID TO
IRISH famine
ExcOriateS Free State
Government

The Workers Communist Party Of
America on receipt Of message from
Ireland that large part of the peas
ant and working class population was
suffering from the tortures Of famine
Immediately took steps to raise funds
for the alienation Of the distress in
that country. In conjunction with the
international Workers. Aid. an Irish
Workers and Peasants Famine Relief
Committee was organized which is
now functloning.
The following statement was issued
by the Central Executive Committee
Of the Workers (communist) Party,
on the Irish famine:
The Famine Victims
100000 Irish workers and peasants
are now the victims of one of the
worst famines that ever visited a ma
ton whose wounds inflicted by foreign
tyranny and civil war are not yet
healed. In stretch of country that
reaches from Donegal in the north to
Cork in the south on the west coast,
and reaching inland for about forty
miles, the poor farmers, workers and
fishermen are in a state of restitution.
The failure of the potato crop over
large area, the flooding of the boys
thru incessant rain thus running the
fuel supply and the destruction of the
fishing industry on the west coast by
British steam trawlers, are given as
the reasons for the terrible situation
that now exists in a large section of
Ireland.
A famine is no new phenomenon in
Ireland. Oppressed by the British gov
eminent for centuries, robbed of their
inheritance by landlords and exploited
by the capitalist class the Irish work
ers and peasants like the workers of
all countries have always been within
speaking distance Of want.
Tens of thousands of peasants and
their families were driven from the
fertile midlands to the bleak and des-
olate west cost, and their former
homesteads were razed to the ground
to make room for the cattle of the
absentee landlords. Bullocks now roam
the land where thousands of sturdy
peasants made their homes. The bar
rem rocks are good enough for the
peasants, the cattle are more highly
priced under capitalism than workers.
To Pay Landlord
During the famine period of 1S45,
1916 and 1S47, enough food was raised
in ireland to feed three times the po-
pulation. But it had to be exported in
order to pay the landlords rent. To
day there is plenty of food in Ireland,
but the capitalists own it. In 1S47
Ireland was governed from Dublin
Castle by English officials. Today,
Ireland is governed from London by
Irish officials obeying their capitalist
masters, and watching the agonies of
their own flesh and blood in the
famine region with cynicism I'M
equalled in the history of British mis-
government in Ireland.
While the workers of Great Britain,
the United States, Soviet Russia and
of every country are preparing to rem
der assistance to their Irish comrades,
the government of hangmen, the Free
State junta is preparing a bill that
will make any Irish worker who
strives to free his native land the
yoke of British Imperialism liable TO
death on the gallows. These execut-
toner's bangle the moose before the

PROVIDENCE, r. l., Feb. 1e.-That
the big wage-sIashing drive which was
supposed to affect only the cotton
mills has already cut deep in the
wooden mills, had to be admitted today
after the 800 weavers Of the Atlantic
Mills met Monday night in Providence
to solve the riddle Of the queer pay
envelopes.
Everyone has been saying during
the past three months: They won't
dare to cut wagesin the wooden mills"
Only last week I asked a veteran
weaver of high skill, long head, and
a longer strike record, whether there
would be any strike He had replied:
Not as long as they confine the cuts
to the cotton mills. But II they cut
in the wooden mills, then there'll be

NOVA SCOTIA
MINERS FIGHT
COAL BARONS
Workers Refuse to Fall
for "Arbitration"
tspsoIaI to rhe Daily Worker,


GLAcE BAY, Nova Scotia, Feb. 10.
Since last November the miners
here have not worked more than TWEEN.
sy days each. II was this extreme un-
employment among the miners, reduc-
ing them to poverty, that the British
Empire Steel corporation took advant-
age of to enforce a cut in WAGES at
the expiration Of the agreement on
January 18th.
The negotiations with the corpora
ton led to the declaration of the cor
poration that a ten per cent cut in
wages was necessary. The demands
Of the miners were formulated at
district convention held in Sydney,
Nov. II to "a, and included an in
crease Of rs per cent for datal men
and 10 per cent increase for con-
tract men. These demands were made
on the corporation, with the result
that the negotiations came to a dead
lock. The corporation declared it's de-
termination to force a cut of 10 per
cent on the miners and since 1t was
impossible to get the representatives
of the miners to accept this they APP
piled for an arbitration board, which
the minister of labor, Murdoch, agreed
to Immediately.
District Committee Staunch
The minister of labor notified the
district executive that they should ap-
point their representative, but this
they refused to do. This district ex-
ecutive was elected on a red" plat
form, and they were not to be fooled
by the arbitration stunts of the cor
poration and its government at OF
tawa. Finding it impossible to get the
district executive to appoint a repres-
entative the minister of labor sent
one of his stoolpigeons, Quirk, to per-
suade the committee to appoint some
one to the board. This he failed in
since he is well known as the faker
who has always been used by the cor
poration to sabotage every strike of
the miners or steel workers of Nova
Scotia.
After this failed the minister of Ia
Dor appointed DR.. ]. w. Robertson of
Ottawa as the Representative" of the
miners. This Robertson was a men,
Der of the royal commission that in
vestigated the grievance of the steel
workers of Sydney in 1923 and white
washed the company in the report.
Tools OF Besco
When the board arrived here, the
district committee branded them as
tools of Besco and stated that their
only function was to help the corpora
ton put the wage cut over, and that
the miners would have nothing to do
with them. The board hung around
Sydney for a few days. and then sent
in a report to the government, the
contents of which have not yet been
made public.
The district committee has now de-
handed that the corporation extend
the present scale of wages for four
months and that the government ap
point a commission to investigate the
financing Of the corporation. II this
can be forced on the corporation, the
miners will be in better position to
strike for their demands than they
are at the present time.

RADIO MEETING
Say Question Annoys
Cal Coolidge
Especial to The Daily Worker,


WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. TO-
Whether or not the Soviet Union shall
be included In the invitation list for
the world radio conference which is
to be called together in Washington
next autumn in the latest phase Of the
Russian recognition game to annoy
President Coolidge.
1t was in 1912 that theSdelegates Of
all the chief countries of the world
met in London and adopted the Lon
don convention on international regul-
alton of Geographic communication.
The American government invited the
peoples Of the world to hold their
next conference on this subject in
Washington, and the invitation was
unanimously accepted. The date was
then set at 1917.
But the war upset that plan. The
telegraph conference which was to
have been held in Paris in 1915, and
the radio conference in Washington in
1917, were postponed. Now the tel
egraph conference is about to be held
in Paris, and the state department
has prepared list Of 80 states that
are TO be invited to the radio dis
cussion in Washington next fall. They
won't say whether Soviet Russia is
included.
President Coolidge. faced with the
question, decides that the issue Of in
viting Russia may be one which will
require consultation with Britain,
France, Japan and Italy, That is to
say, the big four powers that divided
the world after the war will be con-
suited as 70 whether Russia will do
more harm outside or inside this con-
ference. All OF them now deal with
Moscow.
Must Have Russia
II Russia is TO be excluded because
Coolidge does not recognize the Soviet
Union, then the chance OF reaching
an agreement In the conference that
will be OF permanent value to the
world may be questioned. The last
Washington conference Settled" the
fate Of China and Japan and the Rus
sian Far East--and immediately China
developed a series Of civil wars. fol.
lowed by treaties with the Soviet
Union on the part OF both China and
Japan. .~

RHEUMATISM PAINS
ARE NOW IN SEASON

Rheumatism is easier to avoid
than to cure, states well,known
authority. We are advised to dress
warmly. keep the feet dry, avoid
exposure. and above all, drink plenty
OF good water and avoid eating
sweets of all kind.
Rheumatism Is caused by body
waste and acids resulting from food
fermentation. 1t is the function Of
the kidneys to filter this poison from
the blood and cast it out in the
urine; the pores of the skin are also
q means OF freeing the blood OF this
impurity. In damp and chilly cold
weather the skin pores are closet,
thus forcing the kidneys to do double
work; they become weak and slug
gish and fail to eliminate this waste
and acids, which keeps accommodating
and circulating through the system,
eventually settling in the joints and
muscles. causing stiffness, soreness
and pain, called rheumatism.
At the first twinge o. rheuma-
tism get from any pharmacist about
four ounces of Jad Salts; put a Ia
blespoonfuls In a glass of water and
drink before breakfast each morning
for week. This is helpful to neu-
tralize acidity, remove waste mat
ter, also to stimulate the kidneys,
thus often Kidding the blood OF rheu-
matte poison.
Jad Salts Is inexpensive, and is
made from the acid Of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with lithia
and is used with excellent results
by thousands Of folks whoe are sub
Ject to rheumatism. = ADVERTISE

MEDITATION-In this declara-
ton Christ defined his mission. He
had come, not only to associate with
the good and to enjoy the fellow
ship of congenial friends, but also
to seek those who most needed his
ministry. 1t is always hard to spend
time with unlovely people; it is tax
ing to minister to the sick; 1t is dam
gerous to be with the wicked; but
Jesus followed the only true method
OF service--to go where he was need
ed and to do what would be of great
est help. Sin distressed him and
evil people panied him. but he went
70 them that he might do them good.
To follow Jesus here Is part Of the
