The delegates Of the National Union
of Railwaymen in a conference of
eighty decided by a majority of five
to accept the award Of the national
wages board. This acceptance means
that the men receive no advance Of
any kind. On the other hand the de-
mands Of the employers for reduc-
tions in wages are wiped out, so that
the position is as it was before the
negotiations began. This is beyond
doubt a great disappointment of the
peace at any price, compromisers win
ming against militants. The reaction
airy officials are mainly responsible
for the result.
Claims of Machlnist Engineers.
Eighteen months ago. the Amalgam-
ated Engineers and others unions in
the metal trades submitted demand
for an increased wage of twenty shill-
ings a week. AS little or no success
was being made by the negotiators on
national lines, number of the dis
tricts decided to put in claims for
their respective districts, and arrange
ments between the bosses and union
representatives have been made for
conferences to deal with the mems
demands.

Upholsterers' Strike
at Hartford Winning;
Young Workers Active

HARTFORD, Conn, Oct. H. The
strike of the Upholsterers' Union
Local 35 is progressing favorably for
the strikers. More workers from the
Dworkin shop Joined the strikers.
During the next few days all the
rest Of the Dworl1in workers are ex-
pected to join and make the walkout
100 per cent.
The spirit of the strikers is shown
by full attendance at strike meetings
and work on the picket line. Many
good meetings have been held.
Local Labor Backs Strike.
The strikers were addressed by the
president of the Central Labor Union,
the president of the Machinists' Union
and representative of the Young
Workers League. The meeting was
enthusiastic to the point of an ovation
when eight Dworkin factory workers
came in and joined the strike.
Hymie Wolfson, organizer of the
Upholsterers' International Union, an
nouDced that a contract had been
signed with the Goldman Brothers,
winning for the workers nearly all
demands, a 44-hour week instead OF
49, an increase. of wages, recognition
of the union and other demands.
Bosses Under Pressure.
Wolfson is confident that the strike
will be won. The manufacturers can
not hold out long, as they are getting
orders from firms who have contracts
with them and must fill them. or break
the contract under penalty.
The president of the Central Labor
Union said that organized labor Of
Hartford will back the strikers finan-
cially and morally.
Morris Wolberg, the Youthful presi-
dent of the Upholsterers' Union, is
very busy organizing the struggle of
the inexperienced but militant young
workers. Old trade unionists are quite
surprised at the militancy Of the work
ers. Brother Fishman, one OF the
first to start organization OF the union,
is on the job day and night.
This union, composed of so per cent
young workers, is a good example for
the workers of Hartford.

Window Washers Strike
Settled, Win Guarantee

Settlement of the strike of the Chi
cago Window Washers Union, Local
40, was reached Tuesday morning.
Members of the union, more than 400
Of them, had been out since October 4.
The settlement was in the form of
a compromise, it is reported, the union
gaining its demand of a weekly guar
antee OF 40 hours work, but accept
ing the old scale Of $1.00 an hour. The
workers had asked for an increase of
rs cents.
More than 20 Chicago window clean
ing companies were affected by the
strike.
Attempts to break the strike by ef-
forts to intimidate the strikers were
made by the bosses, who used slug
gers and police against the workers.
Two members OF the union were ar.
rested, but were released when no
charges could be preferred against
them.
The union also won pay for holidays
and several other provisions making
for better conditions. One OF the pro-
visions is that the last man to be
laid off shall be the shop steward"
Also a seniority clause is included in
the new agreement, providing that the
last man hired is the first to be fired.
This prevents firing of all old men,
and keeping only young blood"

ZERO is COMING
TO CHICAGO TO

He Is Funnier Than a
Pair of Sidewhiskers

Meet Mr.. Zero. the champion robot
of the world!
Mr.. Zero is the chief actor in "The
Adding Machine" considered by many
dramatic critics one of the best plays
that ever saw the footlights in Chi
cago.
The Studio Players, with headquar-
ters at S26 North Clark street, are
presenting the play for the benefit of
The DAILY WORKER and the data
is set for October oath, D. m. in
Douglas Park Auditorium.
This fellow Zero is like so many
people we could name that those with
sensitive natures may feel Ill at ease
but the hall will be plunged in dark
ness and bushes can be enjoyed un-
seen.
Bookkeepers Are o. K.
That Zero should happen to be a
bookkeeper is no reflection on that
exceedingly useful category. 1t just
happened that way. He might be an
editor and be just as dumb. However
we cannot conceive of an editor work
ing 20 years without asking for a
raise. In fact we cannot conceive of
an editor working at all.
Z But this is getting us nowhere.
When Zero asked for the raise he
got it. Had Zero a hip flask It would
have got smashed. In other words
the boss told him that an adding ma.
chine would take his place. There
fore Mr.. Zero forgot for a moment
that he was a bookkeeper and in man
fashion slaughtered his boss, perhaps
with a fountain pen that could do
everything but write.

"That'll keep the strikers for a day
anyway" remarked one of the col
lectors, after the cash had been count
! ed.
Previously Secretary Woll had care
fully explained to the convention its
refusal yesterday to endorse at this
time the candidacy Of "Tammany" AL
Smith for the 1928 democratic presi-
Dental nomination.
Woll Lauds Smith.
Woll lauded AL Smith, declaring
that the resolutions committee is
unanimously Of the opinion and
Judgment that there is no official
who has served labor better and the
common people as a whole in his ca
pacity as Governor Of New York than
Governor Alfred E. Smith, and that
the committee did not turn him down,
'but rather we were not In a posi-
ton, and it Is improper at this time
to consider any presidential candi-
date no matter how favorably he
might appear to u.s." The convention
listened to the apology without &C
ton.
President Green had also referred
to the disagreement In the trial OF
Harry M. Daugherty. former attorney
general, pointing out his anti-lsbor
record in the railroad shopmen's
strike. He declared there would be
no doubt as to Daugherty's guilt in
the eyes of the American people.
Bunch Resolutions.
The resolutions committee punched
| the resolutions demanding lifting Of
the ban against immigration and al
so the Fe-estabhshment of the Unit
ed States as an asylum for political
refugees. The committee opposed
any changes in the immigration laws,
declaring the changes proposed would
not help workers in this country.
Delegate Furuseth, seaman, told his
annual story about the smuggling OF
Chinese into this country. Delegate
Doyle, painters, told OF smuggling i'm
migrants across the Canadian border,
while Delegate Edwin H. Manson,
Montana Federation of Labor, urged
that there was a surplus of labor in
this country, and that therefore the
immigration bars should be kept up.
Instead of letting down the bars"
said Manson, let us plug up the
holes"
Delegates Reused.
This attack finally resulted in rous-
ing delegates Max Zuckerman, cap
makers, and Isidore Nagler, l. L. G.
w. u, the two organizations introduc-
ing the resolutions.
Zuckerman attacked the committee
for confusing the issues raised, while
Nagler declared the immigrant work
er had not reduced the standard of.
living in this country, but raised it
instead, especially in the needle
trades. But the committee report
carried.
On the question of fighting legisIa-
ton outlawing foreign born workers,
the committee asked for a reaflrma-
ton of the stand already taken by
previous conventions. Delegate Fur
useth sought to amend the report by
declaring against, not only finger.
printing and photographing, but any
other method of identification. woll
was willing to accept the amendment
for the committee, but Delegate
Lynch, printers, member of the COM
mittee refused, altho he did not give
| any reasons. The original committee
report was approved.

, ton before the gathering. This gave
Secretary Woll another opportunity to
arouse the prejudice Of the delegates.
This strike has not been, until very
recently, conducted by the American
Federation OF Labor" said Woll.
"This strike has been run by the
Communist Party"
Woll then declared that the strike
had just come under the banner Of the
A. F. of l.. thru the United Textile
Workers Union, and that this was the
first opportunity that the A. F. of l..
had to take up the question and issue
an appeal for financial assistance.
Woll ManeuVers.
Woll went out of his way to declare
that Delegate Hayes had raised the
question of immediate assistance,
claiming the committee was ignorant
Of any emergency. situation existing.
Woll tried to create the impression
that he was working In harmony with
the textile workers delegation in the
convention while Hayes was working
at counter-purposes under some out
side influence.
conboy Spikes WolI.
Delegate Conboy Of the textile work
ers helped spike this new maneuver
by Woll thru announcing that she was
aware of the dire need of the Passaic
strikers, that one of the strike Of
ficials, Ellen Dawson, was sitting at
the table with the textile workers del
egation, and that she had all the in
I formation concerning the acute suf-
fering of the men, women and chill
dren in Passaic. This was another re-
buff for the Woll spokesmanship for
the resolutions committee.
Right here Delegate Kohn, uphol-
sterers, came to the front with his de-
mand that collection be taken up,
supported by Delegates Joseph A.
Mullaney, asbestos workers. and ].
w. Mara, moulders.
Take Vote.
With Delegate Mara on the floor,
President Green announced the vote
would be taken on the committee re.
port. This was done and the report,
without Woll's later additions, was
adopted.
President Green then called on Del.
egate Weber to explain his PROPOSE.
ton before it was voted on.
"It doesn't matter whether this
strike was under Communist leader
ship or not" declared Weber. "The
strikers are looking to the American
labor movement for aid. There is an
emergency situation at this time and
my amendment seeks to provide for
this emergency"
Delegate Weber's amendment was
thereupon carried unanimously. Then
came the Kohn proposition for a col
lection. Delegate Mara was allowed
to reopen discussion on this PROPOSE
tion. He said he thanked Delegate
Hayes for stirring up the convention
on this question of Passaic.

who is synonomous with the United

There are people in this big city

There are no arrangements made
