Fort Whiternan Has
Splendid Meetings
in Kansas Cities
Especial to The Daily worker)

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, March %. -
Lovett rt-Whiteman, national or
ganizer of the American Negro La
Dor Congress, spoke to the black and
white workers at two mass meetings.
The first meeting, on the Missouri
side, was held under the auspices of
the Kansas City Labor Bureau, and
the second, on the Kansas side, by the
Civic League.
Both meetings had good attend
ance in spite of the fact that its enc
mics, white and black, did everything
possible to scare away workers.
The result Of Whiteman's trip to
Kansas City was far-reaching.
A large inter-racial committee was
organized on the Missouri side and a
provisional committee on the Kansas
side.
Kansas City will be the center Of a
campaign to organize the Negro indus
trial and mining centers.

CHICAGO ADDS
VOICE IN ADOF
FOREIGN-DORN

There Is developing within the CHI
eago labor movement an ever broader
organized protest against the bills
now pending before congress which
propose fingerprIntlng and photo
graphing the fcreIun-born workers In
the United States.
4 Particularly, the foreign-born work
ers themselves are taking the action
thru their various organizations 10
create mass sentiment and bring mass
pressure to bear, fully recognizing,
however, that it is not only they them
selves who are threatened by these
bills, but the American working class
as a whole.
Several mass meetings are being
planned by the various language
groups and also one under the au-
spices of the Workers (Communist)
Party, to be held Wednesday March
oath at the Shoenhoffen Hall, corner
Ashland and Milwaukee avenues. Ro-
bert Minor and Arne Swabeck, with
! others, will speak.
Unions Opposed.
Unions have gone on record pro-
testing against the passage Of the
bills and for the organization of q
movement in opposition. When IL is
remembered that these bills propose
not only fnger-printing and register
ing foreigniborn workers, but also to
rrfr nf NJ vra
vious employers, and to give the re-
cord of any arrest or penal servitude
which workers may at one time or an
other have been subject to, either for
strike activities or otherwise, the IN
tent of these bills becomes clear. In
case they become law each worker
will be supplied with a certificate Of
Identification which he will be COM
PEELED to show upon demand any time
at any place, this certificate contain
ing complete record of said worker,
showing whether he ever participated
in strike or belonged to a union. In
other words blacklist system of the
most effective kind.
Conferences Planned.
Machinists Locals No. 81 and 3S7
have declared their opposition to the
blacklist bills. The joint board Of
the International Ladies Garment
workers has elected committee in
structed to find ways and means to
bring this whole matter effectively be-
fore the Chicago trade union move
ment.
One conference will take place on
March 30th, consisting of various
] Ukrainian organizations of which
twenty already have signified their
readiness to participate. Branches of
the Jewish Workmen's Circle, and
various South Slavic fraternal So
cieties have likewise taken the ini-
tiative to call conferences. The same
methods are being followed among
other national groups, the purpose
being to give organized expression to
the opposition of the bills against the
foreignlborn workers.
The details as to the real character
of the bills pending will be brought
out at the meeting at Schoenhoffen
Hall, Milwaukee and Ashland Avenue,
March Gath.

The revolutionary movement has it's

In the American movement, these
dangers have become apparent. This

SIXTY BOSSES
GRANT DEMANDS
OF FUR WORKERS
Strike Ranks Solid; EN-.
plOyers Split
Especial to The Daily worksr)

NEW YORK, March 22-The fur
manufacturers opposition to a 4o-hour
week and equal distribution of work
in the shop is rapidly breaking down,
according to officials at the Furriers
Union, which for the past five weeks
has been conducting a strike in tho
industry in the city. These two i'm
portant demands of the fur workers
have been most bitterly fought by
the manufacturers; but with the be.
ginning Of the busy season in the
trade, applications for settlement on
the unions terms are coming in from
hundreds of manufacturers. The set
Element committee has opened special
headquarters to handle this work.
Sixty Shops Resume Work.
Altho all relations between the
union and the Association of Fur
Manufacturers are completely sew
cred because the association refused
to entertain the demands of the work
ers. individual members of this asso-
citation have already settled with the
union, and this morning opened I'M
der the new agreement. This makes
total Of so shops now operating and
new ones will be added daily from
among those who have already signi-
fed their desire to sign the new
agreement.
In addition to the 40-hour week and
equal distribution of work the new
contract grants the furriers their
first wage increase since 1917-an adj
vance Of 25 per cent over the pres
ent wage scale. There is also to be
no overtime work, and the employer
agrees to pay 3 per cent Of his weekly
salary budget for an unemployment
insurance fund.
Mass Picket Demonstration.
In protest against the heavy fines
and jail sentences imposed upon
strikers arrested for peaceful picket
ing during this past week the union
officials have called upon the 10000
fur strikers to appear on the picket
line this morning for a mass picket
demonstration. The union in this way
VIII assert once again its legal right
to picket in an orderly fashion the
shops which are on strike. The union
claims that peaceful picketing has
been repeatedly interferred with, and
that arrests have been made aud fines
imposed without cause.
The strikers gathered in the fur
manufacturing district at 1880 and
walked thru the streets from Both
street to 2Srd street, between Sixth
and Seventh avenues, and then down
to their meeting halls on the east side.
