BY ALFRED LoSSEFF
Worker Correspondent

NEW YORK, Dec. 2.-One thousand
workers, members of the United Work
ers' Cooperative Association, cele-
brated Thanksgiving here by laying
the cornerstone for the second build
ing of the cooperative apartments be-
ing erected at Bropx Park. The first
block of buildings are nearing COM
pletion. They will be occupied ex-
clusiyely by worker-owners.
While the early American colonists
offered thanksgiving for the presumed
help Of god, the worker colonists Of
1926 were thankful that their own
class had the strength and solidarity
to undertake and carry to fruition a
big housing project which promises
health and a finer living to hundreds
now paying excessive rents for I'M
sanitary, crowded tenement dwellings.

Members of the Cooperative stood
with bowed heads in memory of
Leonid Krassin, the noted Soviet
diplomat whose death had occurred in
London the day before Chairman
Halpern spoke with deep feeling Of the
grief in workers hearts in the loss
Of their brilliant comrade overseas.
Following the memorial tribute,
Halpern directed attention to the fine
record Of the United Workers Co
operative in successfully carrying
thru plans for the big housing project
and establishing the summer camp,
Nitgedaiget. only thru the co-opera-
ton of the workers." he declared,
have we been able to accomplish so
much in so short time. Remember,
the first job is the hardest. Our sec
ond building, with its stores and play
grounds, will prove to be a much
easier job"
Greetings From Paterson.
A representative of the Paterson,
N. j., cooperative meat shops brought
greetings to the New York cooper
ators, recounting the fight the
butchers have had to wage against the
middle class storekeepers. After 10
years, the Paterson workers have
achieved victory, he said.
Gerson, executive board member,
told of the great accomplishments Of
the co-operatives in Soviet Russia
especially in helping the British
miners in their long strike. Secretary
Cohen asserted that $4,000 OF per
cent gold bonds of the association
have been sold already and outlined
the campaign to raise the rest of the
money needed.

WILKES-BARRE, Pa, Dec. 2. -
Striking miners at the Prospect col
lieries of the Lehigh Valley Coal COM
pany, members of Local 4S4, U. M. M,
have decided to go back to work, after
remaining out three days. The miners
went on strike against the ruling of
the company on loading OF cars, which
resulted in the docking of the miners
Of from to cars work week.
VIII Stick to Demand.
The miners decided to go back to
work after a motion was passed that,
despite the rule of the company, all
miners shall top cars inches at the
face to prevent the wage loss to the
workers. Miners who violate this de-
cision will be fined s25.
1t is not known what the company
will do now, but the miners are de-
termined to fight for the topping at
the face, instead of at the breaker.
District officials ignored the strike.
Copies Of the Goal Miner" were dis
tributed among the strikers and were
received warmly. Local 40S is under
progressive leadership. Hogan is
president.
Topping is a sore spot here and II
this strike was not settled to the
miners satisfaction a general strike
OF all colleries OF the Lehigh Valley
Coal company, involving $4,000 min
ers, was threatened.

Recall Hard Fight.
Readers Of The DAILY WORKER
will remember the hard fight against
great odds that the Journeyman Tail
ors' Union of this city carried on with
the management of the mills after
they were locked out in January 1925,
the ranks of the union holding intact,
with a single exception, up to the
present time.
At the time of the lockout the COM
pany had a contract with the union
which would not expire until Sept,
1925. There was no question of wages
or working conditions involved, the
sole reason given for the lockout was
that the young son of the president
of the company on taking charge of
the shops decided to try out the Amer
lean plan and the efficiency methods
so much touted then and now.
Was Successful Once.
Up to the time of the lockout this
company had been one of the most
successful business ventures in this
state. With large mills and other
buildings here employing close to two
hundred men and women and branch
stores in the larger cities in West
Virginia and Ohio cities they worked
day and at some, seasons night to fill
orders. And now just twenty-five
months after the American plan and
efficiency methods were introduced
so we'll have they succeeded in wreck.

amounts to $12O,493.46.
Union Laughs Now.
The members of the Local Journey
man Tailors' Union are therefore
laughing last, andsof course best. With
an injunction granted to mills against
them which forbade them from draw
ing their breath in passing a scab EN-.
ployed in the mills they have won
their fight by the only weapon left
for them to fight with and the only
one really effective in such fight, by
persuading their fellow workers of two
states not to patronize the scab mills
Thus another efficiency bubble has
burst, leaving our Rabbits and some
stockholders a little dazed.

STRIKE AGAINST

Bosses Policy
BY Worker correspOndens.


WORCESTER, Mass, Dec. 2. =
Approximately 100 men and women
members of the Amalgamated Cloth
ing Workers of America are on strike
here against their employers who
"laid off" their employees because
there is no work." the lay-off being
indefinite" H. Sher, and the Liteom
Pants Co., both contracting trouser
manufacturers are the two shops in

While both struck shops gave lack
of work" as their reason for laying
off their employees for an indefinite
period, news came to Worchester that
the two above named firms had leased
in the nearby town of Clinton, Mass
achusetts, for a period Of five years
5000 square feet of space in the East
Mill Of Clinton. Boston pants manu-
facturers joined the local employers
in leasing the plant at Clinton, induce

thorities of that town, including the
chamber of commerce, Ii is also
learned that the Clinton plant viii

salerno IN Charge.
Joseph Salerno, organizer for the
Amalgamated Clothing. Workers came
to Worcester to take charge of the
strike. Salerno, at the strike meeting
said, he had endeavored to commune
cate with the contractors and arrange
a conference with them but without
results.
This strike, if it proves anything,
proves the need for strenuous organi-
cation work on the part of the unions,
specially the needle trades, in combat
ting the ever growing contractor and
jobber evil. No doubt it is the inten-
tion of the contractors to hire green
help in the town of Clinton and with
the installation of new and up-to-date
machinery produce more cheaply thus
cheating the workers out of the in
creasing benefits of greater and cheap
er production.
Clinton is but a dozen or so miles
from Worcester. A couple of busloads
of Worcester strikers to daily picket
the new Clinton shops, together with
a real organization campaign among
the green help will forstall the open
shop proclivities of the contractors
who are in league with the chamber
of commerce. Will the Amalgamated
Clothing Workers officials measure up
to this task?
