THE AM FLAG
EPISODE.
Prize Winning poem by Antonio Jarvis.

The flag at dawn had mounted high,
It's stars and stripes waved in the sky,
The battles rage and shot and shell
Made all below a screaming hell,
And no V ndthen d ball flew past
As though to tear it from the mast,
The sun went down. the flag remained,
It's lofty watch all night sustained,
Each she'll that burst, each rockets flare
Told Key the flag was waving there.
When he from his position spied
The fort at dawn, it woke his pride,
He voiced a hymn in accents strong:
The world well knows, well loves that song;
That flag yet flies and other eyes
Still watch it waving in the skies;
And millions now say, may it wave
Forever Ger the free and the brave The

Farmer Labor Forces
OF Minnesota Met to
Plan Further Activity

ST. PAUL, Jan. &c. (FP.).-With
eyes fixed on 1928, a presidential
year, the farmer-labor forces Of Min
nesota, after meeting in st. Paul last
week, are making preparations for a
conference of all farmer-labor and
third parties in the northwest. The
proposed conference is to whip things
into shape for a national farmer
labor party that may play con-
siderable role in 1928.
Affiliation Of all farmer and labor
organizations will be sought by the
state party which controls l U. S.
senator, 2 congressman and about
one-third of the membership of each
house in the legislature, being second
only to the republican party in Min
nesota, with the democrats nowhere.
1t polled over a quarter million votes
last November.
Most Of the business pertained to
state affairs but the meeting took
time to denounce American imperial
list meddling in Mexico, Nicaragua
and China to demand the impeach-
ment of secretary of state Frank Kel-
logg, who is a citizen Of Minnesota;
to demand government ownership of
railroads, old age pensions, and equa-
BILE taxation; to denounce injunctions
in labor disputes and the federal re-
serve banking system.
A farmer-labor press service and
a monthly magazine were authorized.

Shoe Operatives Strike
Company; Cut Wages in
Violation of Contract

A walkout Of 40 union shoe oper-
atives has taken place at the River
side Felt Slipper Co., AZ Walker ST.,
as result of a cut in wages of from
s to 10 per cent.
The men, who are members Of local
So of the Shoe Workers Protective
union, decided upon a walkout, after
they had been informed that the wage
cut would take effect Immediately.
The action Of the company directly
violates an agreement, which had been
signed last year with the union, and
which does not expire till Sept. 1,
1927.
The company demands now that the
men accept the wage cut, and extend
the period of the agreement to Jan.
l, 1928, a time which is usually slack
in that industry, and when a strike
would not affect the company seri-
ously. Extra demands are: before
going on strike the men agree to fin
ish up work which the company may
have on hand at that time. The men
are to post $50 security, to live up to
these demands. The company also
insist on the right to discharge Z
men, who have been on the regular
working force, before work is re-
sumed again,
Chester w. Bichby, business agent
Of local 50, states that the strike is in
full progress, that full picket lines
have been established. and that they
are out to win, and to force the COM
pany to live up to the agreement as
originally signed. The walkout is
sanctioned and has the full support
of the district council of the Shoe
Workers Protective union.

Seven Hundred Havana
Leather Workers Quit
As Bosses Deny Union
(By Worker Correspondent.)


HAVANA, Cuba.-Seven hundred
leather workers have declared
strike against the leather manufac-
turers. The main demand is the rec
ognition Of the union.
Due to the lack Of an organization
the leather workers shaved II hours
a day with low wages and bad san
itary conditions. The losses and the
foremen did with the workers as they
pleased.
Through the initiative of group
of workers the leather workers I'M
ion was organized. The first act of
the union was to ask recognition. AL
though this demand was sent to light
manufacturers only, all the employers
got together, condemned it as a Boil
sbeyik demand, and decided on a lock-
out.
The workers found out about the
bosses, decision, and declared gen.
eral strike.
All unions of Havana congratulated
the leather workers on their action
and financial support is already being
organized.
The solidarity Of the workers is
excellent.

on the stockyards and packinghouse
workers Nor do the fraudulent cont
pany unions and insurance schemes
dull the cutting edge Of the more in
tense exploitation The workers are
seeing in these boss-controlled instru-
ments mere additional means of pres
sure.
When the best hog butcher in
Swift's, for example, can't make any
more than AZ cents an hour, the help
lessness, or rather, the harmlessness
OF the company union stands out like
a sore thumb. The workers never did
take the company union seriously.
The last issue Of Armour's "Oval",
the house organ, boosted that $50
Of the men and women in the plant
voted at the last company union cleo
tions. Armour workers laugh at this
and relate that when they came to
work one Monday morning they
found their cards missing out of the
clocks. They were given out only
after voting" for union officers.
That's how Armour got a 95ee vote.
Begin Again.
Old time union men who still carry
the scars of the big stockyards bat
ties of 1916 and 1922 are beginning
to see the yards ripen for another
effort. Within a short time a group
of these cid warriors viii seek union
charter as the first step towards the
reorganization Of The butcher work
men. The initial steps are going to
be hard, but the spirit is there and
with help from the outside labor
movement a new beginning can be
made.
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1927-01-27

A worker in the Chicago yards who
is familiar with the killing floors Of
all the big packers in Chicago, Kan
sas City, Sioux City, Omaha and
South st. Paul told me thai a cattle

Can't Stand Pace.

so that in few more months the
butchers will be doing twice as much
as they did when they had then
union. And for considerably less pay
Discomfort Grows.
Mutterings of discomfort arc
mounting in volume in the corrals
and on the killing floors. Men arc
being let out at rapid rate as new
efficiency methods create speeded
production requiring less hands fol
the same amount Of work. AS it is
there are thousands of butchers anC
laborers out of work. The old time
looseness of discipline during the
union days when a hard worked and
sweating butcher might run down fol-
cup of coffee is no more.
Instead, the oppressiveness Of
nerve-wrecking efficiency has come
or the scene. Come in only one min
