MILLINERY union
STARTS DRIVE TO
ORGANIZE SHOPS
Hand Milliners Have
Little Organization
BY ART SHIELDS.
Federated Press)

NEW YORK, Dec II The hand
millinery workers of New York and a
half dozen other great cities are
highly skilled workers who put their
individuality into their headgear crea-
tions but their wages are only half
those Of the machine workers in the
industry because the latter are or
ganized and the hand workers are not.
SO while the winter season is at its
height special organizers for the
Cloth Hat, Cap and Millinery Work
ers' International Union are putting
the case up to them in a continent
wide campaign in New York. .Phila-
delphia, Chicago, Montreal, Los An
geles and San Francisco.
Union Shop Conditions.
In the union shops the 44-hour week
prevails; protection against discharge
and a minimum wage Of $50 a week
for operators. In the nonunion hand
work shops basic hours are longer
with uncontrolled overtime; the boss
hires and fires as he pleases ana
wages are only half as high.
The machine shops have been sol
idly organized for only few years.
A big strike in 1919 was followed il
1928 by sustained organizing cam
paign that brot that branch of the in
dustry into union relations and raised
minimum wages $40 week. Now in
this first big drive on the hand work
shops where conditions are worse
than they were in the machine shops
when the latter were unorganized the
union finds fertile field. Shops range
in size to 300 workers. The first step
is the formation of. shop committees
which present demands to the employ
ers. the union furnishing the workers
with meeting places and organization
methods and eventually the union
steps in officially.

court DISMISSES
CASES AGAINST
A. G.. W. PICKETS
international Drops
Framed-Up Charges

Justice asiidispensed in Chicago
against the workers during labor dis
putes was luridiy shown up when the
80 and more cases of Amalgamated
Clothing Worker unionists arrested
while the 19,Week International Tai
loring company strike was on were
dismissed one and all. From the petty
charge of disprderly conduct to the
ominous accusation of conspiracy to
murder every. unionist is set free on
motion of the defense counsel. The
Overwhelming bail bonds fixed by the
municipal court, amounting in one
case to 100000 alone, have been re-
leased and the Amalgamated can once
more use its cash for direct trade
union purposes.
State Against Workers.
AS if to point the moral that the
police and the courts are always
against labor during a strike, each
case was dismissed for lack Of evil
dence. The police and the daily
papers had made tremendous affair
OF the raids on the union Offices, had
pictures of the arrested union Off
cials and had stories day after day
of sinister plots discovered just in
the nick Of time. Now all this alleged
evidence, the firearms, the acid, the
brass knuckles, the bombs, the
threats, the assaults, the shots, the
burning of truck with mail, all are
forgotten and the whole case goes to
pot for lack ofevidence.
The explanation is simply that the
union won the strike. The company
settled with labor. The auxiliary
forces of the boss, the police, the
courts and the dailies, have therefore
been restored to a peace footing in
the Amalgamated sector.

The president of the board Of di-
rectors of the Azerbeidjan Oil Trust

From the numerous articles which
appeared on the Prombank's third
anniversary In all the central and
provincial newspapers, characterizing
the role of the Prombank in the work
of restoring industry and other
branches of public economy, attention
must be called to the article by the
assistant manager Of the foreign de-
lpartment of the supreme council of
national economy of the Soviet
Union, M. Roshal. He points out the
role which the Prombank must play
in the animation OF the Soviet's i'm
port and export business in the fol-
lowing words:
Import Machinery.
''As much as the importation of in
dustrial machinery, which is necessary
for enlargement of the basic capital
Of our industry, requires long term
credits, the Prombank, as the special
bank Of industry can and must play
the main role as the natural guaran-
tor for onr industry when 1t secures
the necessary credits from abroad"
