Special to The Daily Worksrl

NEW YORK, July 1.-THE tenth
annual convention of the American
Federation of Teachers, held at the
Civic Club in New York City begin
ming June 8, marked at least few
steps forward for this comparatively
new addition to the labor movement.
There were several challenging notes
of protest sounded and a number of
indications that the teachers union is
quite as fit for its place in the A. F. of
L. as most international unions of
either hand or brain workers.
The speech Of welcome was made by
Brother Conklin of the New York
Trades and Labor Council His was
an old line trade union talk, the gist
Of which was: "If teachers were as
intelligent as bricklayers, then they,
too, would have decent conditions, for
they would be organized" However
steoreotyped Conklin's talk, some of
the delegates, new recruits who have
not yet learned the fundamentals of
trade unionism, must have profited by
several of his jibes.
Brother Crossway, organizer of the
Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters,
made a very good impression by a
speech in which he advocated against
the color line in labor organization
md struggle.
Discussion on Militarism.
The discussion on militarism that
occupied the whole of the second days
session was, significant. All the dele
gates were against militarism, but
most of them didn't know what to do
about it. Speeches were made and
resolutions introduced, one by Abra-
ham Lefkowitz of New York. But the
climax of this debate came when Del
egate Gary of Minneapolis declared

HEADS OF BOX
Makers union
WARN WORKERS
Possible Lockout t,
Lengthen Hours

NEW P)-Warning that
the paper box manufacturers here
who have contract with their en-
ployees are trying to antagonize the
workers into striking has lately been
issued by the executive committee Of
the Paper Box Makers Union of
Greater New York. Following this
warning the membership voted unani-
mously that in the event of walkout
the pay of all union officers shall
cease when the pay OF the workers in
the shops ceases. This move was
suggested by the officers themselves.
The same action will be taken if
there should be lockout. For there
are signs, the union officers say, that
the manufacturers are trying to dis
cover some excuse to warrant locking
out all their employees during the
present slack season. The evident
purpose of this is to- increase working
hours.
Five months ahead of the expira-
lion time of the i,prevailing wage
agreement, (which runs to Sept. 800,
he manufacturers sought to get a
aew two-year agreement signed, which
would have provided for a 4S-hour
week instead of as as at present. The
union met this approach by calling
for 44-hour week after Sept 30.
Fred Caiola, general manager of the
union, says that his organization has
held steadfastly to its contract, but
that the employers have sought in each
slack season to break the union. Two
months ago the union membership as
sessed themselves one-half a weeks
wages as an emergency lockout and
strike fund. New York City has about
215 box factories; 1875 of these are
organized. A strike or lockout would
affect about 10000 workers.

REVIEW OF" THE CONVENTION OF THE

ers and teachers. Let us get to the
most important question before the
convention: the question of organizing
the teachers"
$4,000 Fund.
When the organization committee
reported it brought in a plan to raise
$4,000 to place organizers on the field
and start the job in genuine trade
union fashion. After a few sugges-
lions by Scott Nearing, this report
was adopted.
The election Of officers centered
around the choice of a secretary-treas-
urer. The incumbent, F. G. Stecker
who had held the post for ten years,
was the center of battle. Delegate
Hardy Of Local 5, New York, led off
the discussion with an argument for
more frequent rotation in office and a
more aggressive policy in the national
center. Delegate Nearing made
speech, in which he pointed out the
bankruptcy of Stecker's report to the
convention. "The main questions be-
fore the teachers we're the building of
the organization relations with the A.
F. of L. and theSlabor movement, and
international utilization. All these
were left untouched. The time has
come when the Teachers Federation
must either build its organization or
go to pieces"
Stecker Defeated.
When the vote twas taken on the
secretary and the members of the ex
ecutive board, Stecker's opponent
Mrs. Hanson of Local 3 of Chicago
won by good margin.
While the teachers have yet long
way to go before they make even. the
most modest beginnings in organizing

convention would indicate that they
have settled down to beginning in
earnest after many years of needles.

BY CARL HAEssLER, Fed. Press.
The 10000 Armenians in America
are getting in intimate touch again
with their homeland after an inter
ruption of many years of war and
reconstruction. The Armenian Work
ers' republic has sent a non-partisan
delegation to America to renew the
lies, and to tell their compatriots in
his country Of the progress made
jinqe the days of czarist rule and
Turkish raids. The delegation has a
moving picture film which aids the
lecturers in their exposition of the
'emarkable advance made economi-
sally and educationally since the re-
public was established in 1920 The
visit has no political significance.
The delegation landed in New York
in April and will sail back in August.
The principal Armenian colonies to
be visited on the tour are New York,
Boston, Detroit, Chicago, San Francis
co, Fresno and Los Angeles. The
American Armenians, 20 per cent OF
whom are 9aborers in the basic in
dustries, have everywhere cheered
and greeted the delegation and ex-
pressed their desire to return to the
old country.
