MONTREAL, June 2.-Canadian
railway workers must beware OF a
drive on wages. The daily papers are
whooping up the dangers Of the rail
way situation. In 1924 the net oper-

Government statistics show that
railway wages have Increased only
81 per cent since 1918, the smallest
increase for any representative occu-
patton.
The Canadian Nationals difficulties

SHOE WORKERS
in HOT FIGHT

ev r. BAKER.

Especial 20 The Daily Worker.)
PHILADELPHIA Pa, June 2.-The
Shoe Workers. Protective Union Of
Philadelphia Is facing a fresh open
shop drive conducted by the bosses
association thru several small shops
recently taken Into the association.
The trouble started when Cotton &
Mennies Shoe Co. refused to recognize
the union working permits and the Is
union men in the shop refused to per-
NIT anyone without a union permit to
work beside them.
Discharge Answered BY Strike
The union men, members of the
Shoe Workers Protective Union, were
fred and Immediately began picket
ing the shop. The work of the Cotton
Mennies shop was taken to another
association shop, the Star Shoe Co.,
where the organized workers refused
to touch the work from struck shop
and after an argument which resulted
in threat by the boss to hang out an
open shop sign outside and the firing
of several filters the entire shop walk
ed out.
At a special union meeting 1t was
decided to fight this strike to the limit.
The spirit and enthusiasm of the
strikers and tbs union members
assures them a complete and speedy
victory. The entire difference lay in
the fact that the union insists that
the bosses must hire only union men
with union working permits.
Lots Of Cash to Break Strike
It has been discovered from reliable
sources that the bosses association
has fund OF $4,000 to fight this
strike. The union on the other hand
at a special meeting unanimously
adopted an assessment Of per cent
of the wages of all workers in the
union shops to conduct battle
against this new open shop drive and
in addition to that have put out de-
mands for "A hour week and yearly
agreements in plase Of the present
six months agreements.
Needless to say, members Of the
Trade Union Educational League are
actively involved both IN the strike
and the general fight Of the union
against the open shop drive.
The picket line at the Star Shoe
Co., has been enlivened with several
conflicts between the strikers and a
few scabs that attempted to do the
work abandoned by the strikers. AT
least one of the scabs has received a
lesson that win teach him not to work
during a strike again. The police as
usual tried to help the scabs with but
little SUCCESS.
