RACE ISSUE NO
ISSUE IN N. Y.
GARMENT STRIKE
Italian Boss Fails to Di-
vide Unionists

NEW YORK CITY, Aug. 6.-Enorts
to stir up race prejudice between strik-
ing Italian and Yiddish cloakmakers
are charged by Louis Lyman, chair
man OF the cloakmakers' General Strike
Committee. Tho attempts are made
to demoralize the workers to break
the strike, Hyman declared, in inter
preting assertions by Frank P. In
grassia, manager and president of the
Williamsburg Contractors Association,
that the Association is protesting
against discrimination on the part of
the union" against 1000 Italians en-
ployed by its members.
No Race Issue In Strike.
"The association charges" Mr.. Hy-
man declared, that the union refuses
to settle with its members in order to
divert work from Brooklyn Italians to
shops in Manhattan, inferring that the
work would be turned over to Jewish
workers. I brand this charge as an
absolute lie. There is no antagonism
between the Jewish worker and the
Italian worker. AS a matter of fact,
we have IN New York about 5000 Ital-
ian strikers and they are fighting
shoulder to shoulder with the Jewish
workers. This story Of Brooklyn
contractors is simply an attempt to
bring in race prejudice and race
hatred In order to demoralize our
ranks.
A Friend OF Peculiar Stripe.
"Mr. Ingrassia now shows himself
in HIS true colors, tho he pretends to
be a friend Of the workers in his
shops. Mr.. Ingrassia knows that the
union is ready to settle with the job
bers who supply his associations
shops with work, If they will meet the
union requirements. He knows that
the strikers can be helped only by OBJ
tanning the union demands from the
jobbers, but he proposes instead to
defy the union and cast in his lot with
the jobbers. His threat to start work
despite the 100 per cent stoppage is a
foolish one, since his propaganda
among our Italian workers is bound to
fail.
Ten more settlements we're effected
by the strike settlement committee,
headed by Salvatore Ninfo, yester-
day. This brings the total of peace
pacts to date to So. Lyman ridiculed
declarations made yesterday by H.
Finder, president of the Industrial
Council of the manufacturers, claiming
that from 20 to 80 per cent OF their
normal output is being produced dur
ing the strike.
One Per Cent Output.
'If Mr.. Finder means to tell the
truth about the work actually being
done, he would be forced to admit that
few scab shops are operating in
all with the serious intention of pro-
pose of exciting pickets, and not at
all with the serious intention of pro-
ducing garments. Scarcely more than
one per cent of the garments custom
arily produced by the Industrial Coun-
lcil is now being made"
A series of mass meetings are held
daily in various strike halls, attended
by thousands Of strikers.

Uncle Sam Pays
Measly Wages to
Forest Fire Fighters
By a Worker Correspondent.

SPOKANE, Wash, Aug. 6.-Paul is
wage slave. Paul was broke. He
needed work badly. He was told that
he could make pile Of Jack" fight
ing forest fires for Uncle Sam.
"Six dollars day and work twenty
hours a day If you want" was what
they told him. THE work is a snap.
There Is nothing to It," they persisted,
He went to work fighting fires in the
Rocky Mountains.
After several hours riding on the
train he arrived at his destination. To
PauPs sorrow he found that Uncle
Sam paid but 80 cents an hour and
chuck to frehghters, The flrehghters
were given grubbing hoe, an axe
and a shovel and then they started
out on a six-mile hike up a steep
mountain.
Paul was Disguised. He caught a
freight train back to Spokane. In
stead Of getting time and a half for
overtime, he frehghters often work
IA hours and are allowed but IL. II
You stay 20 days your fare is paid
back to Spokane.
According to the press, the fire. is
costing the government $4,000 a day
Paul declares the f1reflghters are not
getting even major portion Of the
money Besides the great dangers
they are forced to face in these forest
fires, they are also highjacked when
they leave the camp. A few nights
ago 100 workers were held up. No
attempt was made to get those re-
sponsible. Neither the state nor the
government is offering any reward
or attempting to get the stick-up men.

One Dead, Another
Unconscious from
Carbon MOnOxide Gas

Chicopee, Mass, Dec. 7-(P)-Ov-
ercome by carbon monoxide gas in
small parked sedan, Thomas E
Girouard, %, of West Springfield
was found dead early today. Miss
Mary Mortell, 81, of Chicopee, Cir
Guards companion, was rushed to a
hospital unconscious and is in q
critical condition from gas poison
ing.
The couple, who, 1t was said, were
engaged to be married, apparently
had been where they were found
since shortly after II o'clock last
night. Girouard who is employed
in Springfield filling station, closed
the station at that hour and took
Miss Mortell in his car to a point
near the bank of the Connecticut
river near the Springfield city line.
He apparently parked the car and
left the motor running either to keep
the radiator from freezing or for the
incidental warmth to the occupants
of the car. The car was discovered
this morning by Waterman at a
nearby packing plant who investi-
gated and found Girouard dead.
Warmth of the body indicated that
life had not been long extinct.
Miss Mortell was unconscious and
she was taken to a Springfield hos
pital. Apparently the fumes from
the motor exhaust worked up
through the car floor sufficiently to
gradually overcome the couple.
