Merchant Tailors Fight
Reform Legislation

NEW YORK, March 8. - Proof
Of employers activities in defeating
labor laws presented to the New York
state legislature comes to hand again
in letters sent out by the National
Association of Merchant Tailors
against the present senate bill No.
46 for limiting homework in tene-
ments.
Altho Senator Benjamin Antin's
bill does not affect tailoring work in
tenements, the tailor employers are
uniting with other manufacturers
as they have for the last 10 years in
opposing labor legislation. Bill 46
would prohibit the Manufacture of
toilet articles, flowers, Feathers, hat
ornaments, or frogs for pajamas, in
tenements, or in part Of tenement,
used for living purposes. It failed to
pass last year. Jacob de Jong, presi-
dent Of the Associated Flower and
Fancy Feather Manufacturers, Inc, is
q leader of the opposition.
The Merchant Tailors' letter says.
THE uplift interests have again pre-
scented a bill thru Mr. Antin wherein
certain occupations only are men
tioned-the object evidently being to
submit them piecemeal for action,
rather than in combined form as here
tofore, hoping for ultimate success
later on in accomplishing their object
of preventing all homework absolute
ly in every industry. We are directly
interested in this bill for that reason,
knowing full well the next step will
be to stop the journeyman tailors."
A copy of letter sent the Mer-
chants Association Of New York City,
Fifth Ave. Association, and Associated
Industries of New York State (Which
organizations endorse our objections')
is enclosed by the Merchant Tailors
Association. THE bill ought not even
to come out of the committee, and we
trust you will give your aid to that
end" the employers write. They call
the bill radical and destructive" and
not department of labor bill" Con-
trary to the repeated assertions of
trade unions concerned, the employers
say that incidentally it might be in
teresting to know that the working
people themselves who are affected
do not desire this kind of legislation. :"
The State Federation of Labor,
WoMen's Trade Union League, and
unions concerned have insisted on
cleaning up the sweAtshops of the
tenements, where women and children
work on the goods. There have been
many reports that there are insult
icient inspectors to secure enforce
ment of even such restrictions upon
tenement home work as have succeed
ed in passing despite employers lob
bies.

Congress Still Sleeps
AS Strikers at Passaic
Sing on the Picket Line
BY J. LOUIS ENoDAHL.


Then Weisbord would recite the
second stanza, the strikers would
whistle the tune, then sing the
words of the chorus again, repeat
ing until the song was finished. They
have probably learned all the words
by this time, the sixth week of the
strike.
OOMEONE once said, Beware of
~ the workers when they begin to
sing"
The senator's and congressman
down here have not yet heard the
echoes of the songs of the Passaic
textile strikers. They sit around,
few Of them, listening sleepily to
dreary speeches.
BY actual count there were more
door tenders stationed about the
house OF representatives, at all the
many entrances, than there were
Representatives gathered within. One
first impression is that everybody in
the capitol building is there to sleep.
In the senate chamber, there were
more pages (errand boys) on duty
than there were senators present.
1t was four-thirty o'clock in the
afternoon when l dropped in at the
senate for a few moments. Senator
Heflin, of Alabama, was on the floor
and supporting Ford's right to pur-
chase Muscle Shoals. Senator Cara
way got the floor for question. He
said: 1.-THE honored senator from
Alabama, for whom have the high
est regard and respect, arose at two
o'clock this afternoon to make
fifteen minute speech. 1t is now half
past four and he is still talking. l
want to know how much longer he
is going to talk?"
Senator Hefiin, however, managed
to quit before five o'clock, the hour
of adjournment, and the nation was
thus saved once more.
THIS is the American parliament.
4 The voices of the working class
are like something far away. They
do not penetrate here, not even the
singing of Peneresi and his fellow
strikers. But Peneresi and his kind
never quit singing. l can hear him
singing now, in Jail, if he has not
been fortunate enuf to be released
on bail. The ranks of the singing
workers however, will grow, are
growing. The thunder of their voices
will penetrate to Washington. They
will even lift their voices here for
workers rule. The working class
will come to power to abolish all
classes. That these senators and
congressman sense that day was
brought out by one newspaper cor
respondent, who declared
when Russia is mentioned
around here, they all go crazy"
| GREAT is the fear even that an
~ American representative should
sit down at the same time with a
Soviet spokesman at the proposed
disarmament conference of the
league of nations.
What fear then, when an elected
Communist comes marching into
these same capitalist legislative
halls to raise the standards of revo-

TNVEN here in Washington, politi-
~ cal ruling center of the nation,
the report finds its way into the
kept press that Felix Peneresi,
dauntless leader of textile strikers,
at Passaic, New Jersey, has been ar
rested with others for singing labor
songs on the picket line. But this
latest effort OF the textile barons to
gag the strikers in one of Americas
most courageous labor struggles
finds space only on an inside page.
Senator Borah, of Idaho, hailed as
a fighter for the preservation of Am
erican liberties, is on the first page,
in story and picture, but not in de-
Tense of the Passaic strikers, nor Of
New England labor, bludgeoned by
the anti-free speech attack on An
thony Bimba.
Senator Borah is instead the cen
ter of considerable first page pub
licity in connection with the celebra-
ton of Territorial Day" by all sons
of Idaho. They are going to CONNIE

forming of the territory of Idaho.

Borah is pictured showing the Ital-
ian chef Of local hotel how to bake
them. Sec'y. of Agriculture Jardine,
whose chief job in the Coolidge cab
met is helping cruelty the western
farmers, is shown assisting. This is
the days national problem. This is
more important, of course, than the
smuggling, beating and failing of sing
ing strikers on the Passaic picket
line.

that had been closed the day before
by the police. All during our walk
thru railroad yards, across canals
and along the high fences surround
ing the struck mills, we continually
met up with strikers just little
downhearted because the hall had
been closed. But Peneresi was there
to tell them that that very morning
the police had been forced to open it
again, and the regular afternoon
meeting would be held
Bring everybody to the meeting"
was the call sounded by Peneresi,
like some new Paul Revere sounding
the alarm.
Peneresi was chairman of the
afternoon meeting. Albert Weisbord,
the strike organizer, was there. He
spoke, but on this occasion he also
led in the singing. They sing at all
the strike meetings in Passaic. 1t
isn't so easy to get started, since
the strikers speak a multitude of diff

U. S. Ambassador Peeved.

MEXICO CITY, March 3.-Ambas-
sador Sheffield is reported keenly an
noyed over the failure of the U. s.
state department to consult him be-
fore sending its recent note to the
Mexican government. He is also
known to be upset over the action Of
the administration in consulting
Charles Beecher Warren, former
Mexican envoy. Sheffield is said to
have been unaware Of the contents
Of the note nor eognizant Of the trend
taken by recent American diplomacy.
Sheffield Ready to Quit.
IN Mexican government circles the
impression is prevalent that Sheffield
has been quietly and unofficially
superseded. Many Mexican officials
have held Sheffield responsible for the
blunt statements made about Mexico
by Secretary Of State Kellogg last
summer
Sheffield realizes that Warren
should be consulted on his interpre-
tation of the recognition agreements
which the latter personally drafted.
While Sheffield refrains from all COM
ment it is known that he feels the
slight keenly. Those in close touch
with the embassy believe that he will
resign Immediately if any effort is
made to embarrass him inasmuch as
he does not like the post and is eager
to return to his legal practice in New
York.

is worth noting that such deflation
can be achieved by raising the indi-
vidual output quite as much as by re-
ducing the individual wage"
Apparently the important feature
Of the anthracite settlement for big
business is the prospect of greater
output per worker. Fewer workers
for a given output is a step toward
new deflation of labor.
Debate Labor "To Meet Competition"
Wall Street wants further deflation
Of labor to meet the rising competition
Of countries where workers come
cheap How hot competition for
markets is growing appears in the
fact that the United States exported
"a per cent less iron and steel in
1925 than in 1924 while it's imports
Of these products rose 20 per cent.
A reduction of 150,625 tons in the
untitled orders on the books of the
United States Steel corporation in
January brings the level 154,5S4 tons
below Jan. 81, 1925. While this alone
does not mean an immediate depres-
sion, other signs demand labor's at
tention.
oVerprodueticn in Main Industries.
Overproduction characterized both
the steel and automobile industries in
January. The excessive production of
iron and steel is emphasized in the
Iron Age by director L. H. Haney of
the New York University bureau OF
business research. He shows steel
production 10 per cent above normal
in December and Is per cent above
in January, while January production
of pig iron was 20 per cent above es-
timated normal requirements.
The situation in the automobile in
dustry with its large dependence on
instalment purchasing is more pre-
earious. To prepare for cut-throat
competition the makers are pushing
production far beyond any pace which
can be sustained. Says a special Wall
Street Journal article:
at is estimated that fully 80 per
cent of production during January re-
manned unsold and that stocks of I'M
sold cars increased fully 20 per cent
during the month. The record break
ing production in the first month of
1926 exceeded 100000 cars and trucks,
against 241,062 a year ago. This
would indicate a final output of g.
100000 vehicles this year against A.
100000 last year, if other months con
tinue to show the proportionate gain
shown in January. Few executives
anticipate such a record"
Expect Slump.
Automobile makers counted too
much on the farmers for this years
market. This hope is rapidly fading.
But when they turn to the industrial
regions they are faced with the judg
ment of the Cleveland Trust Co. that
certain markets, notably the middle
Atlantic region, show diminishing alb
sorption for automobiles. AS the auto
industry is considered one of the main
stimulants of industrial activity the
situation demands that labor be pre-
pared.
The Annalist index of business ac-
tivity in January shows a sharp drop.
Editor Baker says, at is now evil
dent that the general weakening in
steel last month did in fact reflect
measurable decline in business, that
decline being more marked than any
single months movement last year ex-
cept May, which ushered in the COM
parative slackness of business which
