THE THIRD PRIZE WINNER.
HENRY'S CAREER

crime. After all he could not sacri-
fee his whole life for such small
wages. So the next Monday when the
operators came in to work they found
that Henry, the chairman Of the union,
was sub-contractor.
Before a week was gone everybody
in the shop realized that Henry would
not last. He could not get the CO.
operation of the operators, as much as
he might try. They simply despised
him, especially David, the dreamer"
who was considered the leader of the
shop. David could not forgive Henry
because, while being the highest Of
fetal of the union, he had sold him
self to the boss.
After six weeks Of struggle Henry
realized it was a losing fight and quit
his job.
TT was plain he could not go back to
1 the union for a job. They would
take him to the executive board of the
local and there Jimie and Shapiro
would ask him all kinds of disgracing
questions. So after looking in vain
for a non-union job, he took the train
for Chicago, far away from Hamilton,
where nobody would know him and
where he could start anew.
In Chicago he soon learned that the
easiest way to get in right with the
officials of the union and be consid-
cred a loyal and active member is
by making war on the left wingers,
shouting "disrupters" at them in meet
ings, etc. 1t did not take long until
Henry had a good job, a Ford car and
was considered a prominent member
Of the Pants Makers Local in Chi
cago.
DUT once Henry got in wrong. He
- got a job at Alfred Decker. At
first he introduced himself as an ac-
tive union member and had the ambi-
ton to become the shop chairman.
But that did not prevent him from be-
coming a good friend with the fore
man. SO when the workers of his sec
ton had a fight with the foreman and
the shop chairman called in the labor
manager to take up with him the ques-
ton of discharging the foreman for
misbehavior, Henry got up and made
a speech before the labor manager in
favor of the foreman.
That settled his career" in that
shop. The workers saw his character
and Henry will soon have to look for
another city to start again shouting
"disrupters" at the left wingers.

BIZ a Worker correspondent.

PERTH AMBOY, N. j., May ga
three-day strike Of the Raritan Copper
Company's workers, involving 1900
men, ended when the workers decided
to accept the cents and hour in
crease and weekly pay day to be
paid in cash. The. workers struck for
10 cents and weekly cash pay.
The strike broke out In tank house
No 2 and was soon followed by the
men in all departments. The second
and third shift men also struck. A
meeting was held and demands for
mulated.
Learn to Run Strike.
The men elected a strike committee
of % men representative of all de-
partments at this meeting George
Pearlman, a labor leader of New Jer-
sey, spoke at the meeting and the
strikers elected him as chairman of
their strike committee.
When the strike committee met
PeaElman outlined the methods Of
handling strikes, putting the commit
tee wise to many sorts of tricks used
by the bosses when confronting a
strike committee When the commit
tee returned from conference with
the management, the committee felt
that the forewarning was the means
of their getting the best of the con-
ference.
In the three days of strike the Rari-
tan workers lost thousands of dollars.
The hot copper "froze" and became a
solid mass and it will take few days
before all this is broken up.
Mechanics Break Rules.
The second visitsof the strike com
mittee with the management resulted
in the offer of the e5-cent raise and
weekly pay in cash. Previously the
workers received their pay in checks
twice a month. The workers at a
mass meeting refused to accept the s.
cent raise and wers determined to re-
main out until 10s.eents was granted.
But the mechanics, who get from 65
to rs cents per hour, while the rest
of the workers get only from 40 to 40
cents, were satisfied with the scent
raise and the following day agitated
among the rest for acceptance Of the
5 cents and returnfg 70 work.
After an address to the workers by
Mr.. Clark, the mahager of the plant,
the mechanics broke, strike solidarity
and returned to work. The rest of
the workers, seeing this made the sit
uation hopeless to. hold for the 10
cents demand, also returned. The
Negro workers stayed out solidly until
the last and returned in body.
Pearlman has promised to organize
the copper workers and is laying plans
to that end.

[Worker correspondent)

(WorkeF CofFeSponueutJ
TTENRY was a modest young man
IL and never mixed in others affairs.
He was neatly dressed, even on small
pay as a pants operator. He was not
very good as mechanic, so he usually
laid low and did no kicking about the
small wages.
But in 1916 something happened
that made Henry very ambitious. He
worked at that time in Hamilton, a
city in Canada which has a popula-
ton of eighty thousand. There was
no union of that trade in the city and
an organizer was sent in by the Anal
gamated Clothing Workers to organize
one. After many months of hard
work the organizer succeeded in form
ing local of few hundred members.
AT first Henry was very much
"A afraid of joining the union. "The
boss would fire me as soon as join, -
he said. But after the shop where
he worked signed am agreement with
the union the boss stopped the power
one day and said: "All workers that
don't belong to the union as yet must
ioin." So Henry became a union man.
The union was composed largely of
,oreign-born workers, mostly Jewish,
but many Polish and some Canadians.
The union meeting had to be con-
iucted in English, so all could partici-
pate. But since many were recent
immigrants they ignored the official
language. One would speak Jewish,
another Polish and few would use
English at ALL Naturally, the organ
izer, who was the chairman of the
meeting, did not understand and had
hard time trying to conduct the
meeting. So he found that Henry I'M
derstood Jewish and Polish and he
got him elected as chairman Of the
local.
WHEN Henry found himself chair
w man of the union he became very
ambitious and dreamed of career
in the labor movement" He felt sure
that it would not be long until he
would become a paid official and would
not have to get up early in the morn
ing and go to work for $50 a week.
So when Mr.. Klein of the Klein Pants
Shop offered to make him a sub-con-
tractor over three operators he fatty
refused, saying that he would not be-
tray the union and sell himself for
money.
But time went by and Henry did not
become paid official. In fact, he was
total failure as chairman and there
fore became greatly discouraged.
One day after work the boss called
him into the Office and after a drink
from a bottle that always stood ready
in the Office the boss told him he
had decided to give him chance to
work himself up. He was to be made
contractor over all the operators and
in that way get a good start. OF
course the boss had his own reasons
for this. He would not stand for a
union in his shop any longer, and If
Henry would become contractor that
would help considerably. Besides,
such an able man as Henry should not
have to work for $40 week.
A T first Henry would not listen, al
"A tho he appreciated the good inten.
tions Of the boss. He, as chairman
Of the union, could not accept it. OF
course IL he we're not chairman of the
union he would gladly accept. But
after few more drinks and a little
more friendly talk by the boss he was
convinced that 1t was not such
