With the Young Worker
PLUMBERS HELPERS

At last the PLUMBER HELPERS
are organized. The AMERICAN
ASSOCIATION OF PLUMBERS
HELPERS has grown by leaps and
bounds. Starting with members
four months ago. on April the list,
when the plumbers of Brooklyn went
Oh strike, the membership jumped to
800 Since then $500 helpers have
joined the organization.
The organizer, James F. Walsh, one
of the leaders of the I. r. T. strike,
with c. E. Miller. the president, thru
their understanding of the helpers
conditions and an understanding of
unionism has made the A. A. P. H.
a success.
The plumber helpers being the only
unorganized workers in the building
trades receive the average wage of
$400 per day. While other helpers,
such as steamfitters, carpenters, ETC.,
receive from 5000 to $1100 per day.
The A. A. P. H. is organizing the
helpers according to the policies of
the A. F. of L. with the object of be-
coming part of the various plumbers
locals of New York.
When local No. 1 of Brooklyn
walked out April LIST, the helpers of
that borough, the day before, had a
special meeting and with enthusiasm
and determination voted to support
the plumbers by walking out on
strike with them. Since then regular
strike meetings are held twice a week
anil they are very well attended.
Thru these meetings many Of the
helpers of Bronx, Queens and Long
Island have joined the organization.
While in Brooklyn all the helpers
have joined the A. A. P. H.
The picketing of the jobs is going
on all the time, while in the past
there has been no difficulty in pull
ing the jobs where scabs were work
ing. The police are now actively al
igned against us.
On Thursday April 81, the Build
ing Trades Association of the bosses
issued a statement in the capitalist
press, that they will lockout the
plumbers and helpers on April 81
The American Association of plum
hers helpers have prepared to take
in all helpers not registered in prep
aration of the threatened lockout,
The demands of the helpers are:
l.. Recognition of the Union.
2. 50 per day.
8. Double pay for overtime.
