Architectural Iron
Workers Union Plans
Organization Campaign
BY A. RoSENFELD.
worker correspondentl

The Architectural Iron, Bronze and
Structural Workers Union is at pres
ent carrying on an intensive organiza-
ton campaign, in order to bring all the
iron and bronze workers of greater
New York within its folds, and to up.
lift their standard of living.
The working conditions of the iron
and bronze workers are far from being
satisfactory. The 4S-hour week still
prevails in more than one half of the
trade. The wages are low, especially
in the non-union shops. The rush
system is unbearable. 1t is about time
that the iron and bronze workers
should do something for themselves.
The union has sent out demands to
all the bosses, requesting the inaugu.
ration of the 44-hour week in all the
shops and minimum wage scale OF
soc. per hour for a helper and $1.10
per hour for a finisher.
The union is also requesting the
establishment OF an unemployment
fund, to be contributed alike by the
NAtRtSJVA diiu TIC MoThtIb.
II Is up to the members now that
these demands be realized. Il Is true
that some OF the members are taking
an active part in the work of the
union, realizing that conditions can
not be improved only thru the efforts
OF the officials, but the number is com.
parative small. II is necessary that
their number become larger and lar.
ger; that the organization committee
which the union is forming be In.
creased and become active In the un.
ion as well as the non-union shops
That all the union meetings be well
attended, because only thru the efforts
of the membership OF the union, win
the working conditions be betterod.
Our local union is attempting 10
bring together the other local unions
IL the trade. in order to work harmon.
idisly for the benefit of all the iron
workers.
