GIGANTIC AIR
WAR PLAN NOW

Commercial Planes to
Be Used in Fight
Especial to The Daily wOrker)

WASHINGTON, D. c., August rs. -
The most ambitious program of air
preparation for war ever embarked on
by the United States government was
initiated today when an unofficial
board composed of the three new as
sistant secretaries for air, F. Trubee
Dawson, war; Edward P. Warner,
navy: and William McCracken, com
merce, were instructed to go right
ahead with plans to put the new
scheme into operation.
McCrackens Main Task.
The air secretaries will endeavor
to bring about the fullest cooperation
between the different air services.
McCracken's main job as commerce
air secretary. will be to take the neces-
sary steps to make the commercial
airplanes available for governmental
use as combat planes in time of war.
Mllitarism And Business.
The full force of the army and navy
in the development of commercial
aviation by the commerce department
has been promised. Assistant Secre-
tary Warner of the N avy, an expert on
civil as we'll as military aviation, has
expressed belief that the military SER
vice can be of greatest aid to com
mercial aviation by experimentation
and investigation.

Wilkinson Tells of Strikers Suferings

Wilkinson had to promise not to dis
cuss the general strike, she said. She
travelled thruout England at the time,
in Industrial centers. in small towns
and everywhere the response was
amazing. Workers suddenly realized,
without fully knowing, that the min
ers' cause was somehow theirs. who
ever failed in the general strike, it
was not the rank and file, that can
say!" After 1t was called off there
was no panic among the miners. They
set to organizing more adequate relief
and prepared for long fight, altho
they had almost no funds.
WED have accepted money from
anyone, even John ID. Rockefeller" de-
clared Wilkinson. In their desperate
need the miners were only too CRATE
full to get s2,5O0,0O0 from Russian
trade unionists. Il for one am OF
the opinion, after these last few
months, that 1t won't always be that
one section OF workers fight alone in
their struggle We are realizing that
they need unity. Modern capitalism
has made the world small. Wherever
the fight is--Passaic, West Virginia,
Russia today, Germany tomorrow
we'll realize It's all part OF world

Since the war vertical classification
has grown in Britain. Steel firms and
others have bought up mines. Coal
is delivered 10 them at prices lower
than that paid at the pit-head. The
industries profit from the savings in
getting coal directly, but make the
pay double profit by lowered
wages. Premier Stanley Baldwin him

Of wolf has been abated. Neverthe-
less the mills want the workers to go
back to work, minus the union, so that
they can continue to exploit their
workingmen, divide the community
against itself as they have succeeded
up to the present time, and so keep
up their devilish work, to which they
have bent their every effort, and even
inveigled decent citizens, by misre-
presentation, to assist the mills in
their efforts to discredit the strikers
and put them on the defensive, when
we know all along that the strikers
had every reason for dissatisfaction.
1T is high time that the decent citi-

industry, and that they rise en- masse
and protest against the un-American
and autocratic attitude Of the textile
mill owners"

TRADE COMING
Victory in New York
Raises Enthusiasm

The hat frame makers of Chicago
are organizing. Anna E. David, sec
rotary and organizer for Local 2 Of
the Cloth Hat, Cap and Millinery
Workers, announces that the present
campaign to unionize frame makers in
this city is aided by the very definite
victory won by Ladies' Hat Frame
Makers Local No so of New York,
which has demonstrated the advanr
tages Of unionism by winning in q
three-day strike increases in minimum
wage scales of from $45 to $55 week
for cutters, from $45 to $50 for opera
tors, from $25 to $35 for binders, from
$45 to $50 for FOUNDERS, from $35 to
$45 for stock layers and from $40 to
S25 for packers.
Likewise, all week workers have in.
creased wages of SIS per week if they
are getting already above the mini
mum scale. The rates for piece work
ers have been increased over 20 per
cent. Employers are to be fined IL
they allow members of the firm or
overseers to work on hat frames.
The frame makers in Chicago are
being circularized with a leafiet call.
ing their attention directly to these
gains of the New York workers, It
reads as follows:
FRAME MAKERS OF CHICAGO.
The time has come when you must
organize yourself into a union.
The higher standard which you will
find in the hat frame makers Of New
York was achieved thru their unlons
Whatever improvement we find now
in the working conditions Of any or.
ganlzed industry was achieved only
thru a union.
Now is the time to get together into
a trade union.
The employers have their organlza-
ton for their own protection. 1t Is up
to the frame makers to build their
own organization to effectively pro-
tect their interests.
The union will do for you that
which you cannot do alone. It will
shorten your working hours, raise
your wages and give you control over
working conditions in your shops.
For the purpose of organizing Hat
