The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1926-02-26

arguments of both sides came to the
following conclusion;
In view Of the fact that mere de-
cision on the three shops would not
solve the problem, it is necessary to
to not only decide on the three shops,
but also to agree on policy to be fol-
lowed by both organizations in the fu-
ture so that similar difficulties should
not again occur Therefore, the i'm
partial chairman recommends as a
policy for both sides to fight for and
carry into effect the following:
Recommendation
l. That all locals and groups in
agreement with this in the baking in
dustry should work towards the ANAL
gamation Of both organizations into
one union affiliated to the American
Federation of Labor on the following
basis:
(a) Both sides, the International
Brotherhood and Confectionery Work
ers and the Amalgamated Food Work
ers are to agree that in order to or
ganize the biggest factor now pre-
vailing in the industry, the baking
trust, both sides must take into their
organizations all workers skilled,
semi-skilled and unskilled. Such
workers as cannot be directly organ
lied into the bakers union on account
of jurisdictional claims by unions op-
Grating in other industries, such as
the teamsters, both sides are to agree
that an agreement must be reached
with the unions involved for an alli-
ance and joint action in whatever con-
troversy may occur with the employ
ers:
CD Both sides are to agree that the
chief effort must be concentrated to-
ward organizing the tremendous mass
of unorganized workers especially in
the trustified concerns and modern
bakeries:
(c) If the International Brother
hood and Confectionery Workers will
refuse to agree to the proposition of
taking in the various categories of
help working in trust bakeries then
all those in agreement with this pro
gressive policy are to support full
heartedly the Amalgamated Food
Workers in their efforts to organize
the trust bakeries so as to lessen or
if possible to eliminate altogether the
menace these openshop centers rep.
resent to the organized workers as a
whole.
United Action.
Until such time as the two organ
izations can be amalgamated or reach
an understanding for their activities
against the trusts and in order to min
imize and if possible to avoid iurisdic-
tional friction arising out of the or
ganizational activities of both organ
izations, the following arrangement
should prevail:
1. A joint organization committee
is to be created of equal representa-
ton from both sides to take up all
matters of jurisdiction and organiza-
ton of unorganized and other matters
affecting the interests of both organiza-
tions in such manner as to present
a united front to the bosses and to
settle all disputes inside the two or
CARNATIONS on the following basis:
(a) Organization campaigns to or.
ganize the unorganized to be under
taken jointly by both organizations.
The territory to be organized to be
agreed upon previous to the campaign
and each side to concentrate upon the
specified territory agreed for each
side and whatever shops are organ
lied by either side to be affiliated TO
those organizing same. This terri
torial division to remain in effect
only during the organization cam
paign, after the campaign each side to
organize wherever it finds it neces-
sary to do so.
OBJ In the territory to be organized
or in any new shops both organiza-
tons are to agree upon joint wage
scale and working conditions so as
not TO allow the boss a favorable
basis to discriminate one in favor of
the other on account of differences in
wages.
Maintain High Wages.
(c) Both organizations are to co.
operate in the maintenance of the
higher wage scale now prevalent in
some Of the International Brother.
hood and Confectionery Worker shops.
I'D All shops organized outside of
major organizatlonal campaigns are
to be affiliated with whichever side
organizes them.
(e) 1t is understood that both sides
must strive to arrange their activities
In such a manner as to make new de.
mands upon the employers, wages
hours, working conditions jointly and
by mutual agreement and that the
wage scale of the Amalgamated Food
Workers bakery locals is to reach as
soon as possible the higher scale pre-.
vailing in the International Brother.
