MUCH DEBATE OF
NEEDLE WORKE RS
IN MEDIATION
Governors Commission
a Place of Talk

NEW YORK, April 20.-Announce-
ment of the joint board of the Cloak
and Dressmakers' Union, Information
al Ladies' Garment Workers, that the
dressmaking shops of New York with
their 10000 workers, will again be on
strike unless the sanitary label is
sewn into all garments is one Of the
two features of needle trades news
this week. The other is the protract-
ed hearing going on before Governor
Smiths mediation commission for the
cloak trade.
At the hearings a debate is taking
place between counsel for the en-
ployers, both jobbers and contractors,
and counsel for the International
Ladies'. Garment Workers Union, over
the issue raised by the details of I'M
ion control of the shops and the rival
demands.
Issues Raised. fa
A fiat increase of 10 per cent in
wages is also demanded and the in
stallation of the 4O-hour week in the
cloak trade as it now prevails in the
dressmaking trade.
The issues of piece work and the
right of employers to discharge that
had been raised by the bosses re-
ceived much attention in the argu-
ment before the commission. Piece
work has inherent defects. 1t means
constant pickering over piece work
prices. The union had agreed to linn
itations on the right to strike in re-
turn for employers guarantees against
unwarranted discharges. The union
stands fast on the principle that no
worker may be discharged without
adequate review of his case by the
two parties involved.
Guarantee of 80 Weeks.
In a formal statement of its de-
mands which the union laid before the
commission one of the most import
ant clauses is one insisting that manu-
acturers deposit financial guarantees
for the 80 weeks work a year called
for by labor. The jobber is made the
responsible party by the union and is
required to guarantee that the work
ers employed by the sub-contractors
to whom he farms out his work, be
properly taken care of.
In the case of those jobbers who
are organized into the two boss as
sociations-the Industrial Council of
the Cloak, Suit and Skirt Manufacture
ers' Protective Association and the
Merchants Ladies' Garment Associa-
tion-the guarantee is provided thru
the pledges Of these two bodies.
Hearings are continuing and are
keenly watched in the needle trades.

STEEL WORKERS
VICTIMIzED BY
"SAFETY FIRST"
Open Shop and Speed
Up In Pittsburgh
BY THOMAS worker Correspondent

BY THOMAS Worker Correspondent
PITTSBURGH, April 2O.-"Safety
first" committees have become the
pet angel of the steel trust. In reality
they are nothing but open shop prop
uganda committees trying to force
their dope on the workers, nothing is
ever given for the benefit of the work
ers. Here is how it works out in the
mill where I am employed.
There are paid men who go around
the mill every day of the week preach
ing how much better the place is now
than it was ten years ago, and try to
convince the workers that they are
in heaven, but it is the opposite, it is
the worst hell it is possible to imagine
"Safety Committee" Always BIames
the Workers.
This safety committee is supposed
to try to cut down accidents and give
reasons when an accident takes place
so that men could avoid them in the
future. That is what they say they
are doing, but there is nothing of the
sort. What they do is to put the
blame on the shoulders of the work
ers, for every accident which takes
place. Regardless of whose fault it
is, the workers are called careless.
There was young worker fired be-
cause he had received a few cuts on
his hands in one week. Another was
fred because he refused to handle
heavy bars with an injured hand
There was another worker whose job
it was to oil the rolls over which
white hot rails run. He could not oil
them while the rails were running, so
he told the foreman to stop them,
which he did, but not long enough for
the worker to finish the job with the
result that hot rail went clean thru
his body and killed him.
At the next safety meeting" paid
speaker of the company came and
stated that man had been killed, and
as much as the company regretted it,
it is mainly thru his own carelessness
and that he had no business in that
spot; this, altho he had been ordered
there by the foreman, and then the
speaker went on to state the difference
in the accidents now and ten years
ago.
"AlI Time Want More Work"
A good many of the foreign born
workers can see that the safety meet
ing is speed-up meeting. 1 spoke to
one today and altho he could not I'm.
derstand the English language very
good or even speak it, asked him
what he thought of the meetings he
said, "All time want more work" So
you see the impression that he got.
The company has it's spies all over
the plant who will report any talk
of union that they hear, and some
excuse is Immediately found to fire
the one who advocates organization.
The wages are so low that the work
ers have barely enough to live on and
if any sickness takes place they have
to trust to charity of others. If you
are injured too bad to be able to walk
to work, the company will send the
ambulance to fetch you and take you
home again in the evening in order to
keep discomfort at a minimum.
The main point is they are afraid
the men will organize once again to
better their conditions. They have
done it once and they will do it again.

WATT SCORES
FARRIN C TON
IN STATEMENT
''Come Personally and
Put Watt Quit"

SPRINGFIELD, H., April 20.-John
Watt, progressive secretary of Sub
District No. 4, Of District No. ~, u. M.
w. of A., who has been ordered re-
moved from office illegally by Frank
Harrington, district president and his
appointed" underlings, has issued a
statement burning up Harrington for
his illegal and autocratic rule as pres
ident, a position Harrington is accused
of having stolen in the last election.
The statement follows:
Frank Harrington has built a fire
that surely will burn him before it
dies out, and now realizing what he
has done, he attempts to mislead the
membership of the mine workers un-
ion to cover up his illegal action, the
kind of action that he so loudly com
planned of when John L. Lewis took
Howat case. Harrington seems to
have forgotten the records made in
the Howat case, but he shortly will be
reminded of them.
Harrington forgets the records he
made in his efforts to make district
settlement for Illinois.
On Constitutional Rights.
"You talk of constitutional authority,
will you kindly explain to the rank
and file where you or your board got
the constitutional right to do to Free
man Thompson what you did do? In
face of former rulings you and your
board have made? Will you show me
where you and your stool pigeon got
the constitutional right to infer that
you had thrown me out Of Office for
characterization? Cite what section of
the sub-district law gives you or any
one else that right?
you say to me that failing to com
ply with these instructions you will
be expelled from membership in the
United Mine Workers of America
Will you do that constitutionally or
automatically as the other acts of
yours have been?
The Back Salary Harrington Grabbed.
you do not like to come to mass
meetings because you would see the
membership that is paying your $500
train fare bills for three months, and
your 5000 hotel bills for three months
and your $1,000 telegram bills for
three months (while travelling so you
state) and also your back salary of
over $1,000 for the 1922 strike which
you so generously done without (nit).
Come out and see what they think Of
you, their great leader.
''You might explain to the rank and
file gathered there whether you split
with onyone around for allowing the
Lester mine to operate, as was said
in letters that were exchanged be-
tween you and President Lewis.
Preparing for a Wage Cut.
"You might tell the membership II
you are now being used by the coal
operators to cause a condition that
may bring about reduction in wages
and II you contemplate making a sep
arate wage agreement. Ask Walter
Nesbit what he told our sub-district
tellers about you and the separate
wage agreement.
II call on you, the mighty, fearless
leader OF District No. -, If your are
not personally satisfied with the choice
for secretary that the rank and file Of
Sub-District No. has elected, to come
over TO my Office at 221ts South
Fourth street. and personally mot by
