tracts expire.)
2.-The operators asserted that IL
wages were advanced the cost Of coal
would go up: that the public Is
tired of high coal prices" and want
the price to go down; that they are
so poor they can't afford to pay the
hard coal miners more money be-
cause Of the competition the anttra-
cite mines are getting from the manu-
facturers Of oils, coke and electric
ity."
The miners have put twelve de-
mands up to the operators, thu prin-
cipal demand being for an Increase Of
wages Of 10 per cent for anthracite
miners and 81 day for other classes
of labor
Most Of the poverty stricken oper-

AUTO BODY WORKERS IN
DETROIT FIGHT WAGE CUTS
Continued from page 1

Continued from page
the three days are up the men now
taking their places will quit due to
their inability to make more than 81
or 81 day on the new piece rates.
On the old rates the men made
from IS to So day according to the
kind Of work and the amount of il.
From now on with the hardest kind
Of work, even the most capable men
will not be able to make more than
81 or IS day.
Once Got Twice As Much
In 1918. 10, and 30 when the Auto
Workers Union of Detroit had a strong
organization most of these workers re-
ceived exactly twice as much for
about half as much work as they are
now doing. In those days instead of
the oil sanding process now in use,
the bodies were rubbed by varnish
rubbers with pumice stone and water.
The work was much easier than the
present rubbing with the oil sand ma
per but the men received 50 for three
cars.
Now that the work is far moro siren
uous than before, because the workers
have no organization to protect them
and fight for them they are turning out
10 cars for 1887.
Five Times the Work for the Money
In other words they are turning out
five times as much work for the same
amount Of money, one man now doing
the work that he and four other men
used to do, thereby increasing unem-
ployment and laying the foundation of
present and future wage cuts.
During the days when this industry
was organised the workers received
from $40 TO SIS day and today with
a far higher rate of production they
are lucky II they can earn So or 81.
What this means to these men and
their families Is easy to be seen. They
are simply using up the men as quick
iy as they can get them.
Killing Pace
The strain Of the work Is 80 great
that no man lean stand II for any

must be maintained if he is to "cut

Besides the oil sanders, the spray

makers were also cut. In almost every
case the cuts amounted to from 10 to
20 per cent Of the wages and means a
decrease OF about 75c to 81 day when

strikers are not yet organized. But

campaign OF wage slashing long enuf.

themselves in self protection and in
stead OF this or that department going
out alone they will strike as a body
and the boss will have to treat with
them II he wants his orders filed.
The workers are beginning to realize
this and many of the strikers are ex-
pressing themselves in favor of organi-
zation. They recognize their helpless
ness In the present isolation and they
feel confident that the other depart
ments will follow them as soon as the
cuts In the other departments are def
initely made known.

SUPPORTS THE AMALGAMATED STRIKE

American Federation or Labor; we
feel that this can be accomplished
without injuring in any way any or
ganization now aflliated with the A..
F. OF L. and we request and urge the
president and executive council to
take such action as will within their
judgment be most practical to obtain
the desired results.
EXECUTIVE BOARD CHICAGO FED
GRAFTON OF LABOR.
(Sisned) John Fitzpatrick, Pres;
&. N. Nockels, Secretary.
At Local 113, Tool and Die Makers,
member of the left wing made the
following motion, which carried;
"a move that the delegates to the
Chicago Federation Of Labor be in
structed to request the Chicago Fed
Grafton Of Labor to condemn the &C
ton of the United Garment Workers
in scabblna on the AmaIeamated
Clothing Workers who are on
strike"
Reports state that the Federation
passed the resolution as a reply to the
formal complaint sent Fitzpatrick by
the Amalgamated Joint Board of Chi
cago on July LIST.
Saturday was a busy day, as usual,
for the pickets and for their enemies
the scabs, tho the latter were so few
that great rivalry developed among
the strikers to see who could get at a
scab first.
soab Missed Teeth
Somewhere between her scabby home
and her scabby job, a scab lost her
teeth Saturday morning. and altho &C
companied by few cops and private
slugger she rode around the block in
an auto for an hour or so, looking for
two girl strikers she thot might have
found her teeth. She was unsuccess-
full, and so drove Off to get some new
ones from the dentists.
The st. Louis strikers are taking
part in the picketing, singing some
songs they cooked up in that city and
wearing their buttons "Curlee-We Are
Out to Win!" Their enthusiasm was
good but not altogether necessary,
since the Chicago strikers don't need
any inspiration or prodding. Their
spirit is high and full Of fight and
they expect the Amalgamated union to
win by their solidarity. The union has
reported arrangement for financial re-
lief.
Five Arrests
Picketing was carried on Saturday I'M
til .. M, then only small committee
was left to make sure that If there
were any scabs left to sneak out,
there would be someone left to well
come them. There was some doubt
expressed II there were any scabs left.
Five pickets were arrested Saturday,
among them Mary Despensa and Dom
mick Convera.

athlete who recently won the junior

picked by the experts in Boston to
win the light t-heavyweight champion
ship in the national tourney, which

Lamar, who made quick work of
his two opponents at Baltimore this

an hour, will face two other cham
pions, Joe Woods of Los Angeles, a
former middleweiGht, now boxing as
a 175-pounder. and Leonard Herring,
Philadelphia light heavyweight and
Middle Atlantic champion. -,-
Woods has held the Pacific Coast

they finished last season.

too much cannot be expected of Eddie
Collins in his first season as pilot of
a club that landed in the cellar last
year. For the Indians, White Sox and
