STRIKE; ASK AID
OF joint BOARD
Right Wingers Throw
Away July Raises

Spirited picketing of the Stein Fur
Dyeing Co., 500 East 18th ST., will be
continued this morning. The workers
went on strike Tuesday, unable any
longer to work under the terrible con-
ditions that confronted them.
A committee of 20 workers repre-
senting the shop came to the office
of the Joint Board, Furriers' Union on
Monday and asked for assistance in
organizing the shop. Although it is
the function of the International Of
flclals to organize the dyeing shops,
the JOINT Board promised to help.
200 Workers.
More than 200 workers are en-
ployed in the shop, which is the larg-
est dye shop in Manhattan.
A meeting of the strikers will be
held tonight, at SAT East 72nd St.
where the committee appointed bv
the joint board will be present. 4
communication has been set to Local
20 of Newark asking for it's assist
ance in the struggle
The demands of the workers are
the 4O-hour week; increase in wages
and recognition of the union.
Working Conditions.
The working conditions of the shop
are unusually bad. The workers have
to toll 40 hours week for wages
averaging $50 to $25 weekly under
the most unsanitary conditions. Dur
ing the rush season they have to be
in the shop seven days a week, put
ting in 70 to 80 hours weekly.

CHANG AND u, S.
TRADERS QUARREL
over new TARIFF

SHANGHAI, China, July 27-Chi-
ang Kai-shek has served imperialism
we'll in China by killing labor lead
ers, but when he tries to take his
pay for a good days work, he finds
himself in trouble. A meeting Of
American business men yesterday
cabled a stout protest to Washing
ton, against the new taxes of the
government at Marking.
They object that the Nanking rul-
ers are actually going ahead with
out negotiation, to raise tariff taxes,
on the assumption that China has
autonomy in this matter The bust
ness men are an for opposing the
new taxation, and enforcing the old
'uni-laterap treaties.
Marking May Fall.
Reports continue that Marking is in
danger of capture by the armies of
the Hankow government.
In an interview yesterday at Han
kow with foreign press representa-
tives, General Tang Shin-tse, now
dictator of the Wuhan government,
announced his intention to attack
Nanking at the earliest opportunity,
and insisted that Feng Yu-hsiang
would cooperate.
1t is known that neither Feng,
Tang nor Chang is at present push
ing the northern expedition. Ap-
parently the unifying of China de-
pends, as far as these war lords are
concerned, on bargains and treaties,
among themselves, to be broken at

Arrange Mass Meetings.

BOSTON, July 27.-With the trans
fer of Sacco and Vanzetti to the death
house scheduled for Monday, mass
meetings of protest all over the world
are being arranged by the Sacco Van
zetti Defense Committee.
Governor Fuller, it was learned this
afternoon, paid surprise visit to
Sacco and Vanzetti in Charlestown
prison last evening. Prison officials
admitted that Fuller had visited the
framed-up radicals. 1t was also un-
derstood that Fuller had talked to
Celestinos Madeiros, who confessed to
the crime for which Sacco and Van
zetti have been sentenced to die on
August 10th.
Sacco, Vanzetti Weaker.
Sacco and Vanzetti are growing
weaker and weaker after their long
hunger strike. Despite reports from
the prison physician, their seven-year
imprisonment coupled with their fast
has told on them considerably, accord
ing to William Thompson, their law
yer.
The reports of the committee ap-
pointed by Fuller to investigate the
case will be rendered before the end
of the week, it is understood. The
secret and unfair hearings conducted
by the committee was one of the chief
reasons for the declaration of hun
ger strike by Sacco and Vanzetti.
A meeting will be held on the Bos-
ton Common Sunday under the aus
pices of the Sacco-Vanzetti Defense
Committee. Demonstrations in other
cities in the United States and in
Europe will be held simultaneously to
protest against the threatened execu-
ton of Sacco and Vanzetti.
A cablegram from Paris states that
friends are attempting to send Ro-
main ROLAND and Henri Barbusse,
well-known authors, and NJ. Torres, a
noted lawyer, to this country to aid
in the struggle for the freedom of
Sacco and Vanzetti.
New York Protest.
Five mass meetings will be held in
New York City on Friday by Sacco-
Vanzetti sympathizers. The meetings
will be held under the auspices of the
Sacco-V -Vanzetti Emergency Committee,

FOreign-BOrn Council
Protests to Colorado
Governor on Killings

Nina Samarodin, secretary of the
National Council for the Protection
of Foreign Born Workers, Al Union
Square, sent a telegram to Gov.
Adams, Denver, Colo, last night,
protesting against the murder Of
six mine pickets and demanding
the withdrawal of the state troops.
The telegram reads as follows:
"The National Council for the Pro-
lection Of Foreign Born Workers,
representing So regional councils,
protests against the killing of
striking miners at the Columbine
mine.
"The massacre is a climax in a
consistent campaign of prosecution
conducted by the government on
behalf of the industrialists of this
land against the foreign born
workers, who comprise the bulk of
the American working class, with
view to lowering their living con-
ditions in order ultimately to low
err the standards of the native born
workers.
eve urge that you recall imme-
diately the state constabulary and
permit legal picketing by the strik-
ers."

Dividing the Workers.
Does the company employ any Me-
gro labor?" l inquired.
"Oh, yes, about rs per cent are Ne
groes, and the rest white"
81 suppose then, that if the whites
don't like their starvation wages, the
company has Negro to put in their
place; and if the Negroes don't like
their pay the company can call on the
white Ku Klux Khan to take care of
them?" l remarked.
Slavery and Unions.
That's it, Cap, that's it. We can't
say so, but we are all slaves. It's a
little different kind of slavery from
what it used to be but it's slavery
just the same, Cap, that's all it is"
"Have you any union or any chance
of getting one," l inquired.
"No, Cap, we amt got no union and
no hopes of getting one. The COM
pany wouldn't stand for it; jobs are
too scarce now. We have to be aw-
full careful what we say, but we are
thinking, Cap, we're thinking. 1t can't
go on like this forever, Cap. It's got
to change somehow"
What Is Needed.
Yes, they are thinking. can vouch
for that. What they need is informa-
ton. The conditions have already
made them class conscious, but they
need Northumberland leadership. It's
a fertile field-these exploited unor-
ganized black and white workers
not only in this section, but thruout
the southland here.
Time had now come for my friend
to get off.

mark.

Some Conclusions.
So ended our visit. No more uneX-
pected than startling. And doubtless
could be duplicated many times over
in other sections of Sunny Florida, u
the land of sunshine and flowers. AS
my train rolled on eastward l could
not help wondering how long these
oppressed and exploited workers will
have to wait for knowledge, enlight-
eminent and organization.
/ couldn't figure out the answer, but
l saw and learned enough to know
that they certainly need aid. And
wondered if the Workers Party
couldn't plan some way to reach and
organize them.
