Reduction
Especial to The Daily worker)


WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.--Wlth a
slight concession to the petty bour-
geois elements in the democratic party
the combinations of Coolidge Mellon
republicans and Morgan democrats
put thru the 100 per cent reduction In
surfaces that saves Mellon and other
bilIionalres the enormous sum Of mill
lions year. Surfaces we're reduced
from a maximum Of 40 per cent to 20
per cent.
The democrats, in order to insure
unity OF their party yielded to the de-
mands Of the petty bourgeois elements
who insisted upon greater reduc-
ton of taxes in the middle brackets
incomes between $4,000 and $780,
000). With these reductions granted
to the class they represent these mid
die west democrats supported the re-
duction of millions granted the Mellon
crowd.
A number of amendments calculated
to raise the tax on great incomes
were presented by radical" repub-
licans and democrats, but they were
all voted down by the combination Of
leading elements in both old parties.
Reductions on the income Of the
highly skilled workers and lower mid
die class was Just sufficient to bride
these elements into voting for the old
parties this fall, but in no manner
affected the mass Of workers.

ognized that the twtenty-four venire
men present at the opening of the
trial would not be sufficient, and or
ders were issued to bring in others
from the north and eastern part Of
the county which is a farming dis
trict. By the close of the session
1913 venire men had been brot in.
Both the prosecution and the defense
have 100 challenges on prospective
iurymen, and from the results thus
far it seems as if all the challenges
on both sides will be used.
From the start it was seen that this
case is of the greatest political i'm
portance. The defendants represent
the rank and file Of the miners union
and the case was launched against
them by the sub-district officials rep
resenting the Harrington machine Of
the union which is closely linked up
with the operators and the Small ad.
ministration in the state.
Even in the tedious examination Of
the prospective jurors this was seen.
The prosecution was willing to accept
miners who were members Of the ORR
ent local of the United Mine Workers
because that is the local OF Lon Fox,
sub-district president, and 1t was
taken for granted that they would be
favorable to the administration. An.

to get in line and not delay coming
in with the rest.
Relief for the strikers is being or
ganized. Bakers and other business
concerns have offered help and the
unions OF other cities are getting on
the job providing the needy with sup
plies.
Col. Johnson Of the Botany mill
said he hoped the strikers would soon
starVe so that they would be driven
back to work. He knows that the
wages given to the workers have been
so small that they have not been able
to save at all. 1.-THE workers are
only a week ahead of starvation"
said Weisbord, "and now Johnson
wants you to go back and accept
cut even below what you were get
ting"
With the Gera mill tied up, the en-
tire textile industry in Passaic is at
a standstill. The spirit of the strik-
ers is excellent, and they are deter.
mined to hold out to the bitter end.
Much unrest is felt in the Rubber
and Betting company where the work
ers have been cut as in the other
mills, and it is only a matter of a few
days till the workers there will go
out.
The Lodi mill which employs about
1000 is on the verge of revolt and is
expected to be pulled out at any time.
This is the most miserable slave hole
in the industry and the breaking point
is near.
The United Front Committee is TAX
ing good care of the strike and the
entire movement is in a healthy con.
dition. Over 100 members Of the To-
cal committee meet every night and
decide upon the matters that come IN.
The rank and file is signing up in
great numbers every day and the or
ganization is growing rapidly.

outcome of the long fight of the

Accept Relief Offer.
The next question considered by
the body was the question Of relief.
Delegate Edmunds of Local Union 500,
Edwardsville, a member of the exec
utive board read to the body a tele-
gram from Bishop William Moptgo-
merry Brown offering the assistance
Of the International Workers Aid to
the striking miners. Pro-Lewis dele
gates argued against acceptance, stat
ing all relief was distributed thru the
district and international Office Of the
union. This brought hearty laugh
from the body, for delegates stated
the relief obtained from this source
after they fight long time to get It
going thru yards Of red tape-is in
SUFFICIENT to meet the needs Of their
members. A delegate stated his local
union applied for relief several months
ago and when committee after COM
mittee tried to collect it they finally
received $500 for their membership
Of 1900 for five months strike! This
was SS cents per member! The relief
received thru these sources is In
sufficient and the necessity Of the
general assembly forming a relief ap-
paratus was stressed by all delegates
who spoke in favor Of accepting the
offer of the International Workers
Aid.
Miners Starve--No Relief.
Some Of the delegates who at first
were not in favor of accepting the re-
lief offer finally voted for the measure
after the necessity of accepting relief
from any source was brought home
to them. Delegates reported scores
Of enthusiastically starving, with
out coal and clothes,-yet nothing is
adopted to accept the offer Of the
International Workers Aid and invite
Bishop Brown by telegram to address
their next meeting.
Early in the meeting the body unan-
imously adopted a motion Of the Ed
wardsville delegation to extend tbS
floor to the writer, in attendance as a
correspondent of the DAILY WORK
Err, over the protest of the Pro-Lewis
delegates who left the meeting before
the vote was taken, rather than re-

T.U.E.L. Opens War on Company Unions


the figure rose to S14 in 1924" he
stated, saying that this epidemic of
boss unionism is strongest in the
metal industry. followed closely by
the lumber, railroad, textile, printing
and rubber industries, with the Com
monwealth Edison and the Peoples
Gas, Light and Coke Co. the most
prominent Chicago examples.
Attitude Of r. U. {. L.
what new problems do company
unions bring the T. U. E. LII" asked
Loeb. How can the left wing fight
them, both outside and inside, both
before they are formed and after
wards?"
In general, company unions must be
destroyed, root and branch, he de-
clared, suggesting exceptions to this
rule, however, in cases where work
ers succeed in gaining control and in
changing these organizations into
bona fide unions. II they cannot win
the union for the workers, they may
force the boss to drop 1t as useless
for his purposes.
"Most important, however, Is the
utilization Of the T. U. &. LIS pro-
gram for organization Of the morgan
lied and for the amaIgamatlon Of craft
unions into industrial unions. The
craft union is the bosses pet aruu-
ment for company union. With its
Iurlsdictlonal squabbles and armchair
officials, 1t serves him as fitting SUBJ
Iect for ridicule. In contrast, he
paints a rosy picture Of company
unionism."
Company unions are the bosses
reply to the workers desire for or
ganization," said Loeb in showing that
the purpose of these zone big family"
unions is to prevent the workers from
forming, or participating in unions of
their own.
SuppIyiu the "Human" Element.
Capitalists have learned to take
advantage of these conditions by
establishing company unions, either
thru persuasion or thru bribery and
corruption. 1t must be remembered
that the Taylor system in introducing
'speed-up' devices, efficiency methods,
etc, neglected the human element
ain order to keep up this deIusion,
certain minor demands are granted
the workers; for Instance, clean
towels once a week or splttoons In
strategic positions. In return for these
concessions to the worker, the en-
ployers gain control over hiring and
firing, over wages and hours, as we'll
as freedom to cut costs Of production
by Increasing exploitation thru speed
ing up, piece work, etc.
Employers can get whatever they
want from company unions thru the
power Of foremen and managers, to
say nothing of the fact that the gen.
eral superintendent always has the
power of veto over any workers pro-
posal."
Twin Menaees Shown.
In closing, Loeb pointed out that
while ostensibly the American FEEDER
alton of Labor is opposed to, and fight
ing against company unions, in prac-
tice many trade unions are brothers
of company unions and unless the
left wing takes action, class collabora-
ton will become the first order of
business for the labor bureaucracy. In
proof Of this statement, he cited the
railroad brotherhoods, the machinists
and the clothing workers.
A donation of $40 was made to the
International Labor Defense for the
Zeigler miners as a result OF collec-

las native-born, but that foreigners"
are also liable to the penalty of the
law If they commit a crime.
The defense also took up this mat
ter and questioned the prospective
jurors if they belonged to any organ
ization which had for it's object the
restriction of foreign immigration, or
the exclusion of foreigners. This
question throws up the matter of the
ku klux khan since in this country one
is either Tor or against the khan.
This triS goes far beyond the ques-
ton of whether D. B. Cobb was beat
up by some workers. The question at
issue is whether or not the miners
union is to be an instrument Of collab-
Grafton with the operators at the ex-
pense of the wages and conditions Of
the workers. The infamous statement

Miners Of Illinois on Trial.
The defendants on trial are not
merely this handful OF progressive
leaders Of zeigler local union. The
real defendants are the coal miners
OF Illinois in the persons OF these
courageous fighters against the policy
OF giving in TO the bosses represented
by Harrington and his Official family.
The trial and conviction az II is

warning 10 the rank and file OF the
union OF what will happen to those
who dare to rebel against Harrington
and his friends the operators. Be-

into the defense Of these miners, Is
performing a great service for the
miners OF this state and the working
