FLAT WORKERS
MAY STRIKE IN
new YORK CITY
100000 Will Walk Out
Over Hours

NEW YORK, April 16-- (FP) =
Apartment house elevator men in
bondage to IA hours night work and
"a hours week, are being canvassed
by the Elevator Starters and Operat-
ors Union in vigorous organization
campaign.
The campaign includes the hall
boys and the attendants, the starters
and the door men, says Michael Fiore
business agent, Of Local Union 67 and
it has the backing Of the firemen's
union, the elevator constructors and
the building service employees organ.
ization as we'll as the support Of the
Central Trades and Labor Council of
Greater New York.
Many Are Organized.
An uptown office is being opened
BY the elevator operators union to
facilitate their new campaign.
A strike will be the elimination of
the Organization drive unless demands
now being drawn up are granted by
employers, says Fiore. There are
100000 workers engaged in building
maintenance, a minority Of them al
ready organized. whose backing will
be sought in the movement.
Demand S-Hour Day.
Reduction in wages Of 10 and Is
per cent have recently been suffered
by elevator operators and other build
Ing maintenance workers, says Fiore
The afiliated unions will demand
wage increases of rs to 80 per cent
and the S-hour day. A minimum of
s25 a week will be asked in apart
ment houses.
Experience in the April, 1920 strike
taught the elevator operators the need
for industrial cooperation from the
other building service employees. The
elevator operators went it alone in
that strike with disastrous results.

Wants Democracy for
Counts and Liberals
But Not for Workers
Especial to The Daily Worker,

NEW YORK, April 16.-Samuel I'm
termeyer, the millionaire attorney
who argues for free speech in one
breath and attacks trade union or
CARNATIONS in the next, delivered HIM
self of characteristic speech at the
convention of the national associa-
ton Of the Jewish baking industry in
the Broadway Central Hotel
Untermyer condemned the gag on
Count Karolyi and the conviction Of
Roger N. Baldwin in Paterson, in the
same talk in which he criticised the
Jewish Bakers Union with which his
hearers deal. Untermyer thinks the
organized workers are too hard on
their bosses and argues that the I'M
ion should sign its contracts with the
Jewish bakers association instead of
compelling the bosses to sign up
separately with the union.
He further deplored the practice of
compelling the boss to get his work
ers thru the union. His words arous-
ed among the employers much pity
for themselves and admiration for
the lawyer who is their kind of
liberal.

At present the institute is making a

DR.. Hamilton. The actual examina-

the worker is sent to the institute,
sometimes for the day, sometimes for
several nights, SO that without inter
rupting his work he may be put thru
all the necessary tests.
Health Is First Consideration
DR.. Hamilton next visited the In
stitute of Sanitary Hygiene which is
especially devoted to problems of ven

One of the chief occupational hazards
this institute is fighting, is that of
mercury poisoning, common in the
hat industry, and known as matters

has been substituted for the nitrate
of mercury used formerly.
DR.. Hamilton tells how "a speci-

A rousing meeting of all commit tees for the Fourth of July celebra- tion was held last night at the Fire Hall, with practically every member of the divers committees on hand, marking the intense interest in mak- ing the coming holiday the best ever. Elwyn Swetmann, was unani- mously appointed general chairman over all the committees and whipped into action immediately upon taking the chair. The meeting was called for the purpose of presenting re- ports of progress to date and the following gives ample testimony that every committee is and has been, hard at work

This news seems to be doubted by quite number, it is reported, but the facts remain, un- der the tuition of Band Master Arm strong, he is rapidly whipping into shape, a group of melody whose blast will echo to Mckinley Park.

His Conclusion.

An excellent story is told by Kate
Douglas Wiggin, the popular writer. A
negro servant, wishing to get married,
asked his master to buy him license
in the neighboring town. The master,
being in haste, did not ask the name
of the happy woman, but as he drove
along he reflected on the many tender
attentions that he had seen John law
ish upon Euphemia Wilson, the cook,
and, concluding that there could be no
mistake, had the license made out in
her name.
There's your license to marry Eu-
phemia.' he said TO the servant that
night you're as good as married al
ready and you owe me only ST."
The darky's face fell
"But, Mass Tom, Euphemia Wilson

Georgiana Thompson, the la'ndress, is
the one is gwine to marry"
oh. well, john" said the master,
amused and irritated at the same time,
there's no great harm done. I'll get
you another license tomorrow, but it
will cost you 50 more. of course"
The next morning the darby came
out to the carriage as it was starting
for town, and, leaning confidentially
over the wheel, said:
"Mass' Tom, you needn't git me no
udder license! I'll use de one rs got.

SITUATION IN
SHOE INDUSTRY
is MOST CHAOTIC
Arnalgamated Officers
Try Crooked Game
BY M. sHARAF.

LYNN, Mass.-The opponents of the
Boot and Shoe Union succeeded in
blocking the referendum calling for
the Amalgamated to join the Boot and
Shoe.
The local that initiated that refereh.
dunn withdrew 1t from the council and
seeded from the Amalgamated, and
will apply for a charter in the Boot
ond Shoe at the expiration of the
present agreement which ends on
April 30.
The mixed local that endorsed the
referendum notified the Amalgamatec
that they will not be a party to an
agreement signed by the Amalga-
mated.
The Heel workers and Bottomers'
locals called special meetings to take
up the present situation and It is mos,
likely that they will secede.
The Lasters' local. which seeded
from the Amalgamated about a year
ago and functioned as an independent
body, were granted charter by the
Boot and Shoe and will be the first
local in Lynn under the Boot and Shoe
since 1903 at the time the Boot and
Shoe was driven out of Lynn.
Charles Hartshorne, general agent
of the Amalgamated, was doing all in
his power to have the referendum
polled, altho there was no more five
locals to endorse the referendum
which is required by the constitution
Of the Amalgamated union.
The last convention of the Amalga
mated elected a committee of five tc
call a conference of all independent
unions for the purpose of amalgama
ton. That conference was never
called, and Hartshorne, who is to see
that the constitution and decisions Of
conventions be lived up to, has never
called that committee to account
Which goes to show that something IL
wrong.
The progressive committee Of the
Shoe and Leather industry, which is
working in conjunction with the Trade
Union Educational League, is to meet
in few days to map out tactics ap
plicable to the present chaotic situG
ton in Lynn.

Left Wing Of the
Building Trades
Publishes Pamphlet

The Progressive Building Trades
Worker has just published pamphlet,
What's Wrong in the Carpenters Un-
ion?"
This pamphlet tells the story of ad-
ministration corruption and expulsion
of militants in the Carpenters Union.
It produces documents to prove
every accusation made against the
Hutchinson machine.
Although dealing exclusively with
corruption within the Carpenters I'm
ion, it is a pamphlet that should be
read by all militants no matter in
what industry they may work as the
indictment of Hutcheson is in reality
an indictment of the labor bureaucrats
that now control the American labor
movement.
1t is a Sc page pamphlet. Price, 10c
per copy, $500 per hundred.
It is published by The Progressive
