SUBWAY STRIKE
SHOWS HOSTILE
STATE POWERS
Government Uses All
Aid for the Bosses

NEW YORK CITY, July s.-The
striking subway workers who have
opened the fight against the company
union by organizing the Consolidated
Railroad Workers, a real union, are
finding the government their leading
enemy.
Commissioners Gilchrist and Lock-
wood of the transit commission, in
consultation with strike leaders, SUBJ
mitted list of seven names of promi-
nent men from whom three were to
be picked for the proposed arbitration.
But the commission insisted that the
company union be permitted to name
one of the three. The commission
was protecting the company union.
But the men even agreed to this, arbi-
tration falling thru when the com.
pany refused to arbitrate.
James l.. Quackenbush, general
counsel for the company, publicly
states: Every returning employe will
be protected by company represen-
tative, and, what is more, we expect
bluecoat alongside each motorman"
That the police were ready to help
the company appears from the police
statement that the department could
put Is field inspectors, S5 captains, SIS
lieutenants, 964 sergeants and 13,701
patrolmen on strike duty.

SUBWAY TIE-UP LOOMS IN N. Y. AS
TRACTION MEN UNITE AGAINST co.

the strike of the traction workers."
The joint board of the Furriers
Union, meeting while the great Casino
mass meeting was in progress and
when the elevated men were walking
out, discussed the strike and the re-
volt against the company union that
has for ten years held the subway
and elevated workers enslaved and
adopted the following resolution:
"The Joint Board of the Furriers'
Union, representing $4,000 workers
of New York, which has just
emerged successfully from bitter
strike, greets the striking traction
workers of New York City who are
fighting against the bitter expIoita-
tion of the traction monopolists.
ave rejoice in the challenge
thrown by the long suffering trac-
tion workers against the HedIey-
Connolly conspiracy against labor,
known as the Brotherhood Com
pany Union.
1--WE call upon all labor to rally to
the support of our brother strikers,
and pledge our unlimited moral and
financial support"
Today, the second of the strike,
traffic congestion is worse than it has
thus far been. Less frequently the
scab-manned trains creep thru the
subway. The average speed from
Columbus Circle to Battery Park un-
derground is less than five miles an
hour. Runs that usually require thir-
ty minutes now require many hours
and some trains stall in the subway
and the passengers must get off and
walk in the dark along the rails in
constant danger OF coming in contact
with the deadly electrically-charged
third rail-"
Make Strike General.
The strike committee of the newly
organized Consolidated Railroad Work.
ers' Union has broadcast an appeal TO
all subway and elevated workers in
all other branches of service to make
the strike general, and the response
last night indicates that President
LAWN correctly estimates the situa.
ton when he claims that the end OF
the week will see both the elevated
and subway lines in the Interborough
completely paralyzed.

All's Well in the Silk
Industry, Joyous Claim
of Large New York Bank
BY J. LOUIS ENcDAHL.

Then the development and use of
labor saving devices that eliminate
skilled labor. Here is another in
crease in production at reduced
cost, which again means higher pro-
fits. The new wage theory of the
American Federation of Labor de
clares that this again should result
in the shorter work-day and in
creased wages.
But none of these results accrue
to the silk workers. Colonel Young
in the employers mouthpiece speaks
only of the benefits derived by the
bosses from all these avenues that
lead to greater opportunities for
profiteering. The new wage theory
of the A. F. of L. that pleads with
the bosses, without any organiza-
tion strength to support that plea
and turn 1t into a definite, victor
ious demand, does ont interest the
colonel.
All this should be of intense in
terest to all the silk workers, in
such great centers as Paterson, New
Jersey, where the spirit of struggle
among the highly exploited silk toll
ers burns as valiantly as ever in
spite of many setbacks.
1t is the same spirit that urges on
the striking textiles workers Of the
neighboring city of Passaic, New
Jersey, in the 23rd week of their
war against the entrenched textile
mill interests.
The same applies to the steel in
dustry, the rubber industry, the
automobile industry, the metal min
ing industry, where the new wage
theory of the A. F. of L., promulgat-
ed at Atlantic City, has not gone
into effect by one iota because the
basis of struggle, the economic or
ganizations of the workers has not
been laid and built upon in these
industries.
The gloating of the silk baron,
Colonel Young, in the official house
organ of the Bankers Trust COM
pany of New York City, however,
should cause all workers to stop a
little, think a great deal and then
proceed to act a little for them
selves in the bitter struggle for
existence.
The daily worker., 1926-07-10

THE silk industry Is prosperous.
4 If the workers conducted an
energetic campaign for wage in
creases, resulting in courageous
strikes, the silk barons would deny
this. They would hide their profits
and declare they were losing money.
General e. G. Young, president of
the Belding-Hemiway company,
spills the beans" however, in the
current issue of Investments"
quarterly issued by the Bankers
Trust company, of New York. The
colonel finds that business is good
in the silk industry. He declares
this results from:
First:-Great savings resulting
from consultations within the silk
industry.
Second: :-Greater stimulation of
silk sales than cotton or wool.
Third:-Lareer supplies of raw
silk.
Fourth:-The application of labor
saving devices to the silk industry.
Nowhere is there any hint that
the silk workers have received the
results of any of these benefits.
They have not.
Yet the conditions which Colonel
Young cites offer an ideal applica-
tion of the new wage theory of the
American Federation of Labor, that
the workers are entitled to the bene-
fits accruing from the elimination
of waste and the introduction OF la
Dor saving devices.
Consultations in industry-mo-
nopoly-resulted in the elimination
of waste. The A. F. of L. officials
insist that labor should share in
the increased profits resulting from
the elimination of this waste.
Increased sales result in mass pro-
duction and the elimination of ad-
ditional wastes and consequently
greater profits.
Every industry hunts strenuously
for its supply of the needed raw
materials. Wars are fought and
will be fought again for this neces-
sity of industry. The supplies of
raw silk are 81 per cent greater to-
day than Is years ago, comparing
with 271a per cent for cotton and
nine per cent for wool. Another
basis for an increase in profits.

New York Communists
Call for All Union
Aid to Tube Strikers

NEW YORK, July s. - The Work.
ers Party today issued the following
statement on the situation Of the In.
terborough motormen and switchmen:
The brotherhood" on the Inter.
borough is one of the worst types of
company unions. 1t was organized
by the company after a strike called
by the Amalgamated Association of
Street and Electric Railway Employees
of America was broken some years
ago.
Under this company controlled
union" the workers are completely
helpless and powerless. Every deci-
sion of the committees Of the various
'locals" must be referred to the COM
pany for approval or rejection. The
delegates or representatives are com.
pany succors and stool pigeons.
Yellow Dog Contract
Furthermore the workers on the |.
r. T. have no freedom even to with.
draw from the company union slave
ry. Every worker hired is compelled
to sign a yellow dog contract"
obligating him to become a member
of this bogus brotherhood" He also
signs a pledge never to belong to the
regular A. F. Of L. union or to urge
or advise his fellow workers to join
the Amalgamated Association of
Street and Electric Railway Workers.
He signs away every right to become
n ofi1iofod in xryifh {to
lied labor movement.
Workers who rebel against this
company union tyranny, enforced with
yellow dog contracts" are discharged
from the service Of the company. A
100 per cent "closed shop" in favor
Of the company and its bunk union"
is thus enforced.
A Complete Bondage.
To "sell' it's company union despot-
ism to it's workers, the I. r. r. has
also adopted other welfare" activi-
ties. A company magazine extols the
glories of the company union and
carries on systematic attacks on the
organized labor movement. Stock
sales to employees, benefit associations
and other welfare wrinkles are also
used as a substitute for real wages
and decent working conditions.
1t is against this form Of refined
company tyranny that these workers
on the |. r. T. have decided to organ
ize. They have decided to resist the
autocratic schemes of the company
and to have a union of their own.
They are following the examples of
the millions of American workers who
have united in bona fide labor unions
of their own to fight the exploiting
corporations.
Every worker in the New York area
connected with unions in every trade
and industry should rally to the sup.
port of the awakened traction slaves
in their battles against the company
union. A REAL LABOR UNION IN.

Long Mass Meetings.
The daily mass meetings are the
main features Of the strike and they
last from noon until midnight, with
but an interval in the evening. Be-
sides the officials of the union on
strike, a number of other prominent
labor speakers have addressed the
meetings. At last nights meeting Carl
Brodsky, president of one of the cleo
trical workers locals, addressed the
strikers and pledged the support of
his union.
Robert w. Dunn of the American
Civil Liberties Union pledged that his
organization would defend any strik-
ers deprived of their rights to picket
or engage in any work essential to the
winning of the strike. Joseph r..
Brodsky, attorney for the furriers
who just emerged from a successful
strike, pledged the support of that
organization.
This afternoon P. Pascal Cosgrove
of the Shoe Workers Union, addressed
the strikers and pledged the support
Of his organization.
The appearance of local labor lead
ers on the strikers platform and the
pledges of other organizations effec-
lively gives the lie to the propagan-
dists of the Interborough to the effect
that the balance of labor is not behind
the strike.
