PATERSON SILK
WORKERS HOLD
Meeting, DEC. IA
BY a Worker correspondent.

PATERSON, N. j., Dec. 1.-THE
second of a series of silk workers
mass meetings will be held next Tues
day evening, Dec. IA, at o'clock in
Carpenters Helvetia Hall, 56 Van
Houten ST., Paterson, N. ].
The organization of the broad silk
workers is the immediate object of
the present campaign which has been
launched by the Associated Silk
Workers union. The need of strong
organization within the shops is be-
ing shown to the workers by the wage
reductions and attempts on the part
Of the employers to abolish the eight
hour day and substitute the nine and
ten-hour day in It's place. The plea Of
outside competition is again very
much in evidence. The multiple-loom
system is now quite general and the
employers are attempting to break
down the resistance OF the workers
and compelling them to work longer
hours for less pay.
To Stimulate Campaign.
In order to stimulate the campaign
the mass meeting for next Tuesday
has been decided upon. A number
Of prominent speakers in various Ian
guages will address this meeting
which will be held in Carpenters
Hall which has been the scene Of
many memorable silk workers meet
ings.
The first meeting OF the present
campaign was held on Nov. 10, and
was attended by over five hundred
silk workers representing all the ma
tionalities in the industry.
Demand Uniform Prices.
The installation of uniform price
list for rates on piece work weaving
will be insisted upon by the union.
The general organization headquar-
tiers at POI Market street is the place
where workers who are DESTROYS Of
joining the union or members OF the
union will receive information about
the campaign.

Car Plant Speeding Up

(Worker CorresnondantN

HAMMOND, Ind, Dec. ~. - The
Standard Steel Car company, which
employees 5000 men during their reg
ular season, is rushing to get all the
orders out by Dec. 81. When the
orders are completed, all the men will
be laid off, The plant will then be
shut for two or three months, and
during that time new machinery will
be installed.
During the present rush the men
are working overtime every night and
also all day Saturday and Sunday. For
all Of the overtime, including Sunday
work, they are getting straight time.
Face Starvation.
During the layoff, starvation will be
staring into the faces of the workers
families. The men will not be able to
get other jobs; most Of the other
plants are working half time with re-
duced forces.
1t is rumored that the government
will take over the Standard Steel
Car company for the manufacturing
of airplanes.

years 1915 to 1920. High per capita
wages do not mean sufficient distri-

class buy anywhere near the goods
which industry can produce.
Late reports suggest that the rail
roads may come to the rescue, using
some of their enormous 1926 profits
for equipment and supplies. This
would prevent real slump in 1927.
Coupled with other devices Of the
financial oligarchy, it might even
maintain the myth of republican pros

OPTICIANS FIGHT

81 a Worker Confession dent.

NEW YORK, Dec. 12.-Highly skill
ed mechanical opticians, industrially
organized into the United Brother
hood of Optical Workers are now in
the fourth week Of their fight to gain
recognition and enter the ranks of
] militant trade unions With the les
sons of two previous attempts since
1915 fresh in their minds, the optical
workers are out to win the following
demands: recognition of the union,
closed shop, 44-hour week and pay for
all legal holidays. Tho highly skilled
workers, the average wage is less
than that Of the bod carriers.
Bosses Fight.
Knowing that plans had been laid
before the strike was called for a ma
kional campaign to organize the up
wards of 10000 optical workers in
the industry, the bosses are making
every effort to break the morale of
the workers by spreading defeatist
propaganda among them, writing them
Individual letters, offering increases
hi wages and the notorious B. C O..
plan of organization. The answer Of
the optical workers was manifested
In redoubled efforts to picket lines
and greater determination to win.
Out of town optical workers will
benefit by a victory in New York and
may render moral and material aid in
the following manner:
l. Be on the lookout for work sent
from New York.
2. Print handbills for shop distri-
button, warning Of the strike and to
disregard, news ads for strike break
ers.
3. Make shop collections.
4. Prepare the stage for a branch
OF the national organization in your
city.

without assistance.
These are just q few names from
the list of injured strikers, all of
whom were doing picket duty. How
ever, II these brutalities were intended
to weaken the fighting spirit of the
striking paper boxer makers, then it
has missed its purpose, for the strike
is still in full swing, and fought very
vigorously. General Manager Caiola
stated that a general conference has
ben called for Dec. 10 of all labor
unions of New York, to be held at the
Labor Temple on 18th street, for the
purpose of enlisting the united effort
of all organized labor In the city.
Caiola stated: "The paper box manu-
facturers have made a nationwide
campaign out of this controversy. We
shall follow suit and enlist the help
of all labor forces to defeat the bosses
in their nefarious aim of destroying
our union"
The demands Of the union are for a
44-hour week and a minimum scale of
wages of $25 for the unskilled and $35
for the skilled workers. The condi-
ton up to this time has been: Work
ing hours not regulated and running
as high as from so to so per week,
and a wage of SIS for unskilled and

Maintains Pickets Solid.
During its ten weeks of strike the
union has maintained a solid line Of
pickets, despite the fact that assaults
by the police have been daily oc-
currence. The number of injured men
and women who have suffered at the
hands Of the police reads like a cas-
ualty list from a front line trench.
Brutal Treatment BY Police.
Just to pick out few names from
the sworn affidavits Of the general
manager Of the strike committee, Fred
Caiola, to show the severity Of the
struggle: Jacob Arkin, beat up by
the police, three teeth knocked out;
Anna Leinhard, Charles Sanfatello,
White, Ruth Sharon, severely beaten
by the police with fists and night

grabbed by Police Captain Mangen,
