Chicago Plasterers
Turn Down Ultimatum

The Chicago Plasterers' Local No. 5
made short work Of the ultimatum
BLUM of the Employing Plasterers' As
ISOLATION that the union call off the
strike and then talk about the wage
scale afterward.
The local plasterers feel in no mood
to surrender to the bosses on any
such terms, which include arbitration
after the men go back to work with
no wage scale to be discussed until
all the men are back at work at the
old scale. It was felt that this is but
a transparent maneuver by the bosses
to inculcate in trade unionists the idea
that striking does no good.
AS the contractors cannot get the
work done, however, unless they sign
up as have IT'S employers, the union
plasterers turned down the ultimatum
as matter OF course, devoting more
time to the local union election than
to worrying about the bosses. Il is

Copper Trust Decides
Small Raise Cheaper
BY a Worker Correspondent.

PERTH AMBoY, N. ]. May 49,
The strike of the Raritan Copper Com
pany workers 1900 strong was nearly
producing another strike in the plant
of the American Smelling and Rein
ing Company when the latter COM
pany granted scent an hour raise
raise to it's $500 employees. The man
agement felt that discomfort with the
prevailing low wages was leading to
a strike and gave the scent raise 10
forestall strike.
The workers, it is true, were on the
edge of striking and joining their fell
low-workers of the Raritan works.
The Perth Amboy News carried an
article stating that George Pearlman,
who was handling the Raritan strike.
threatened to pull out the workers of
the American Smelling and Refining
Company. The men at the latter plant
were glad to hear it, and strike talk
was all over the plant.
The management of the company
headed off the movement by granting
the small raise of cents an hour. It
was later learned that strike COM
mittee was in process of formation.
The copper workers Of the city are
in need of an organization and when
Pearlman spoke of this need he was
unanimously applauded by the work
ers.

STRIKE MINI,

AGAINST CUT
Fight Open Shop in the
A. c. w. Union
BY cEcILE oUTMAN.
BY a Worker Correspondent

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, May %. -
The workers of the United Garment
Co. are on strike against a cut in
wages. They are now demanding re-
cognition Of their union and a 1870
increase in wages as well as 44-hour
week.
Thirty-flve men and women OF the
United Garment Co., Third st. and
First Ave. North, went out on strike
last Friday, because of a recent cut
In wages and refusal of the boss, Mr.
Sweet, to allow them to join the Anal
gamated Clothing Workers Union.
1000 solidarity prevails. Every per-
son eligible to join the union, to last
man, walked out of the shop. The
demands of the workers are, first:
Recognition of the union; a 1870 in
crease in wage and a fortyfour hour
week. They are now working forty
six and a half hours per week.
All indications point to decisive
victory for the strikers. So far, the
bosses have made no attempt to hire
scab labor. The strikers, together
with the committee from the Anal
gamated Clothing Workers have secur-
ed the assurance of the cap makers in
the shop, who are organized, that
they will support the workers in their
demands, and will resist any attempts
Of the bosses to bring in scab labor
The strikers were called out by the
Amalgamated Clothing Workers,
which had for some time been trying
to organize the shop.

INHERITANCE TAX
REPEAL IS VOTED
TO-DAY IN SENATE
by United Press Leased Wire

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1o.-The
Republican, Democratic coalition in
the senate today voted to repeal the
federal tax on inheritanccs.
Recommendations of the coalition
for abolition of the tax which
mounts from per cent over $4,000
up to 40 per cent on $4,000, 900,
were adopted by safe majority.
This does not mean, however, that
tn repeal will finally be written
into the law because the, house
adopted definite provision and
the issue must yet be threshed out
in conference.
But the action closed the final
highly controversial issue between
opposing senate factions on the bill
and prcsagcd final adoption of the
entire measure by the senate, prob
ably by Friday.
The senate provision adopted
would not only effect immediate re.
peal of all federal inheritance lcvics
and leave that form Of taxation to
the states, but make the repeal re-
troactivc so that low rates of the
1921 law will apply on all estates
since 1921 instead of the high 1924
rates, II was estimated by treasury
experts that, this action ewill cost
the government $20,000,0 900 in reve,
