TO ORGANIZE
DYE WORKERS
OF PATERSON
United Front Committee
Plans Intense Drive

PASSAIC, N. J., April 10. - The
United Front Committee will organize
the dye workers in Paterson, who are
clamoring for chance to escape from
the oppression of the bosses. This
decision was announced in a letter to
Fred Hoelscher, ecretary-treasurer of
the Associated Silk Workers on April
9th.
Activities win begin at once in
Paterson under the direction of Organ
izer Coco and "a vigorous and determ-
ined drive for Organization will begin.
The letter is as follows:
Fred Hoelscher
Secretary Treasurer,
Associated, silk Workers
"2O1 Market Street, Paterson
Dear FelloW, Workers:
1.-THE terrible, conditions and miser-
able wages which the dye workers in
the silk section of the textile industry
are forced to, endure call aloud over
Increasingly for immediate redress
To effect this redress a strong organ
ization which will fight for living
wage and decent conditions must be
created by these oppressed workers,
especially in Paterson. Too long have
these workers because of their lack
of organization,r been allowed to re-
main helpless in the hands of the
bosses.
"The present situation must be
remedied at once. From all sides the
dye workers demand an organization.
The workers of the United Piece Dye
Works now on strike have demanded
that we see no more scab work done
in Paterson. These workers call up
on all their brothers in Paterson to
join them in one struggle against the
bosses for decent conditions.
"The United Front Committee of
Textile Workers can resist this pres
sure no longer and this coming week,
we hope by Monday, will see US estab.
lished in our own Office in Paterson
carrying on a,syigorous and deter
mined drive under the leadership of
our Organizers Coco to organize the
dye workers In Paterson.
I'VE have taken the initiative in
this matter for we feel that it is ex-
tremely urgent. We welcome any CO.
operation that the Associated Silk
Workers desire to form a united front
with us and carry on joint campaign
we should be glad to do so and thus
join hands in a real fight against our
common enemy, the bosses.
"Fraternsily yours,
"Albert Weisbord, organizer"

BODY co.
WORKERS MUST
SPREAD STRIKE
Mass Picketing Needed
to Win Strike
BIZ a Worker corrsspondent

CLEVELAND, April 13-The strike
Of the trimmers at the Fisher Body
Ohio Co. continues with all energy.
Five-hundred men are on strike. They
are determined to win.
The workers have been informed by
Cafety Director Barry that they can
only have eight pickets, two of them
Immediately in front of the entrance
to the employment Office. They must
keep on the march. Only one of them
may carry banner. The result of this
poor picket line is that the 5000 work
ers in Fisher Body manage to get by,
for only the trimmers are on strike,
and the pickets do not know the rest
of the workers.
This is mistake. The workers
should put up a full picket line of
at least so workers and not allow
man to pass. They must carry ban
ners and not hesitate 20 carry on their
work as they should. If they constant
ly fear what the police say they will
not be successful. They are in bat
tie and must put all their resources
into it in order to win.
1t is intimated that scabs are work
ing in the trimming department, or
men have been shifted from one de-
partment to the other. Nonetheless,
work is at standstill and the men
are standing firm.

Organize Spy System
in N. w. Logging Camps
BY a Worker Correspondent

PYSHT, Wash, April 13-Because
the blacklist system in the logging
camps has not been operating very
well the lumber companies have plans
for setting up regular secret detec-
tive system to honeycomb all the large
northwest camps.
The duty of these detectives, or
more properly, spies. will be to re-
port regularly on the attitude of the
men and to pay special attention to
"agitators" among the lumber work
ers. Many foreign-born workers who
are members of the American Legion
are being drawn into this fink" &C

NEW YORK, April 13.-Proof that

ployed by New York fur manufactur-
ers endeavoring to break the strike of
10000 fur workers was obtained by
the unions attorney in cross-examin.

that he had served a two and a half

He was convicted of throwing a
knife at girl striker and hitting an
other, but his testimony was later &C

Of pickets charged with disorderly
conduct. Nine of these workers were
fined $40 each. This same group is
appearing against Moe Passman, who
fred three shots at them the night
they were arrested.
Charges that the union is using
gangsters are being played up in the
New York newspapers to discredit the
legitimate demands of the workers for
the 40-hour week, rs per cent wage
increase, equal division of work and
no discharge. Judge Mancuso is re-
ported as announcing that the grand
jury will investigate the district at
torney's statement about the union
using gangsters.

This charge is simply a smoke
screen thrown up by the manufacture
ers' association to hide their own 40
tions," declares Ben Gold, fur union
joint board head and strike leader.
1.-THE grand jury will find, If they in
vestigate, that If any gangsters have
been used it is the manufacturers who
have used them. They will find a
number of instances where the police
have arrested gangsters and they
were found to be hired by the en-
ployers. But there is not a single
instance where the gangsters were
employed by the union"

Two Groups Join in a
Single Drive

BOSTON, April 13.-The Greater
Boston Conference for the Relief Of
Passaic Strikers and the Massachu-
sets Relief Committee have estab-
lished basis of unity for the cam
paign of relief for striking textile
workers of Passaic. This agreement
is the elimination of series of nego-
tiations which the workers Of Boston
have watched with great hope and ex-
pectation. For it has been felt gen.
orally that the standing curse of the
labor movement here as we'll as else
where is its lack of unity even on
such an important matter as strike
relief.
Complete Negotiations.
The negotiations for unity were in
itiated at the Conference Of the
Greater Boston Committee, held on
March 6. At that time committee
was appointed to negotiate with a
similar conference called by a group
Of Jewish labor fraternal organiza-
tions.
The achievement Of unity marks a
real triumph for the workers OF. Bos-
ton. The. agreement between the two
committees has been established on
the following basis. There will be
one united executive COMMITTEES Of
seventeen, consisting Of ten from the
Massachusetts Relief Committee and
seven from the Greater Boston Con-
ference. Joint efficiency for the uni
fed organization have also been
named.
Single Dime.
Activity will now proceed with all
possible speed. Appeals will be made
to labor and fraternal organizations,
money and clothing will be collected
thru tag days and collection drives
and mass meetings.

Especial to The Daily Worker)
TULSA, OKLA, April a. That
cottonseed may furnish a substitute
for both beefsteak and hash was the
declaration Of Or. David Wesson,
chemical director for the South
ern Cotton oil company, In an ad-
dress here to the American Cheml-
cal Society which is holding its
71st annual convention here.
Wesson has already built a syn
thetic hash around base Of cotton
seed oil. He asserts that It Is not
dlstineuishabIe in taste from the
best boarding house product.
Analysis Of cottonseed," he stat
ed, Indicates the presence of eonsl-
derable protein, so thatit Is possible
after removing the oil and other
products to obtain a substance con-
talning about SIS per cent Of pro-
tein. This would make a good meat
substitute. With cottonseed meal
costing $50 per ton and carrying so
per cent Of protein we can get 1000
pounds Of protein for $50, or at a
cost Of about 5 cents per pound.
Scent Beefsteak.
"Beefsteak, which contains 20 per
cent Of protein, sells for 40 cents
per pound, so we are paying $500
per pound for the protein. Synthe-
tic beefsteak is almost within the
reach of the research chemist" !"

CANNoNSBURGH, Pa, April 49,
Another fake bombing took place at
Midland, Pa, where the Pittsburgh
Coal Co. is trying to run its mine on
the 1917 scale. 1t appears that the
coal operators in trying to break the
morale of the coal miners, are carry
ing on systematic campaign of
bombing. At Midland. two houses
were badly damaged, one completely
caved in by explosion of steel-cased
bomb thrown or placed near the home
Of Robert MINIS a strike-breaker at
Midland. "e'
AS usual nobody was hurt. The
press which controlled by the coal
barons makes an issue of this and
tries to indirectly connect it up with
the strikers. This is done to. try to
turn public opinion" that is, the
opinion of other workers in the city
and other mines, against the coal
strike that is taking place at all the
'&aihes where the coal operators try
to introduce the 1917 scale.
MoRGANTowN, w. va.-The By
Product Coal Co., is going to try to
open its mine on an open shop basis
next week. It controls four mines in
and around Pursglove. 1t will try 30
get the miners to work under a wage
scale which will be 80 per cent below
the Jacksonville agreement. The
miners will combat the reduction in
wages and will fight to the finish.

RUBBER, TIRES AND CONGRESS

A member of Congress rises TO
remark that speeches in Congress
have scared the tire manufacturers
into making lower prices, that right
after he introduced a resolution to
investigate conditions tire prices
dropped 10 per cent. although there
had been talk on the part Of some
of the manufacturers of demanding
an increase.
There is suspicion abroad that
the tire manufacturers were not
slow to make of the increased price
of crude rubber an excuse for in
have not mentioned the drop in the
price of the rubber from $1.09 to
So or 60 cents per pound.
Possibly the next talk we hear
will not resound in the halls of Con-
gress but out in the wide open
spaces where is being demonstrated
cheaper material and less rubber III
the tires, but considering there has
been a decrease OF between. forty
and fifty per cent in the price of
crude rubber and but ten per cent
in the price of tires the manufactur-
ers should be making good tires. The
statements of their earnings warrant
the belief that they can well afford to
make. a good tire at a reasonable
price even at the present price of
rubber

WITH INFORMATION" WRIT LARGE

At the third winter meeting just
held in the Senate Chambers of the
State House of the Maine Pharma-
ceutical Association, its members
unanimously voted to constitute
themselves as branch information
bureaus for the State of Maine Pub
licity Bureau, the headquarters of
which are at Longfellow Square,
Portland. They will be furnished all
information relative to Maine in ev-
cry phase through the booklets and
pamphlets issued by the State, which
work in conjunction with the State
newspaper and magazine advertising
made possible by the donations of
the towns and cities to the Maine
Development Association.
All literature will be sent direct
from the Maine Publicity Bureau
offices, which acts as the service Or
ganiZation for all State organiza-
tons, whose force will also be in
daily telephone communication with
the members of the Association to
give any additional information that
may be desired.
This is the first direct unifcation
of tie business interests of the State
cause of giving service and putting
before the tourists from out of the
State. proper information of the
State along all lines and follows the
general plan of the State Develop
ment Program now going on along
broad lines for the past year.
The membership of the Maine
Pharmaceutical Association numbers
over 500 prominent druggists from
every section of the State. When
one appreciates the fact that il is
confidently expected from early re-
ports that over 100000 people from
out of the state will visit Maine the
coming summer, as against 100000
last year, the far reaching effect of
such cooperation can be seen, whicn
will i've of the utmost of service to
them.
Appropriate stickers are being pre-
pared which will be prominently dis
pla led on the windows of the drug
stores throughout the State. 1t is
planned by the Executive Committee
of the Maine Publicity Bureau to
later have prepared appropriate
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1926-03-17

metal signs Which will be of a rer-
manent nature.
The stickers now prepared are in
the form of an outline of the State
of Maine. They contain appropriate
drawings with such information as
100000 bushels of potatoes; 15,-
100000 acres of forests; 5000 lakes
and streams; $500 miles of seacoast
and Lafayette National Park. In
large letters are Maine Information
and Publicity Bureau, Inquire with
in for Agricultural, Industrial and
Recreational Booklets and Informa-
ton concerning Maine"
The plan was brought about at the
instigation of Governor Brewster,
who, in speaking before the meeting.
explained the Maine Development
Program in detail. The members
were enthusiastic in their approval.
Plans are also being made to have
each member of the Association re-
sponsible for at least 100 letters be-
ing sent from his respective town or
city to out-of state relatives or
friends inviting them to come to
Maine.
: At the meeting, Harrie B. Coe,
Manager of the State of Maine Pub
licity Bureau, explained how~the lit
erature and information would be
distributed. Philip Kicker Shorey.
State Director of Publicity, also adj
dressed the meeting and arrange
ments were made whereby the men,
bers of the Association would keep
in touch with him for any immediate
news stories of prominent people
who might stop in their town, or any
unusual or interesting pictures that
could be obtained that would be good
for distribution throughout the
United States that would attract
attention to the State of Maine.
This unification of effort through
out the State is expected to be one
of the best means of putting forth
just what the State has to offer and
follows out the lines used by other
states now enjoying the greatest of
prosperity.
In conjunction with the above, the
Publicity Bureau will open branch
Bureau at Kittery, where the great
est influx of visitors come by motor
and at the last meeting of the EXecu-
tive Committee, plans were set in
motion for having branch bureaus 1T
every entrance into the State.
1t is felt that the above plans will
insure 100 percent service to the
great influx of summer visitors for
the coming season.
