RIGHT WINGERS
BREAK up FUR
union ELECTION
Chicago MeetingTurned
Into Riot by Millstein

CHICAGO, Ill.,, March 15.-At
the meeting of the Fur Workers
Union Local % Of Chicago that was
held at the Musicians Hall last Fri
day, to elect another member on the
executive committee a riot broke
loose. The right wingers, seeing
that they could not carry the cleo
ton, called police.
The chairman, A. Finklestein, said
that this meeting was called to elect
a new member of the executive COM
mittee to replace the seat made va
cant by the withdrawal of Morris
Liberman who took a withdrawal
card as he was in partnership with
his employer and was at last to come
out in the open with the facts.
Affiliation Brothers.
Then the minutes of the regular
executive meeting were read, in
which there was a recommendation
that this local take up the matter of
affilating to the United Hebrew
trades and that this matter be left
to the majority to decide as the
local was expelled due to the fact
that Robert Goldstein was one of the
delegates and the United Hebrew
Trades did not find any other way of
getting rid of Robert Goldstein than
to expel the local, thereby not letting
Robert Goldstein report the part
some of its members played in the
breaking up of the regular meeting
of December Ia, 1927 when Brother
Ben Gold was here in the city to adj
dress us.
The recommendation from the ex-
ecutive was to carry the election
and then proceed with the business
Of taking up the matter of the United
Hebrew Trades after the election was
over, but Millstein and his clique de-
cided to filibuster the floor. Then
Millstein rehashed the whole history
of each and every member of the
union that he had any grievance
against.
But fortunately every thing must
have its end and so the leather-lungs
and the parched throat of Millstein
gave way as did the appeal Of Isreal-
son. Every one felt that this was
enough and there came a time that
a vote was to be taken.
At this junction motion was
made to send a delegate to the Uni
ted Hebrew Trades in the place of
Robert Goldstein. This was ruled
out of order as it deprived Robert
Goldstein from running as a candi-
date to fill his vacancy. Then a
second motion was made that the
Fur Workers Union, Local As of
Chicago be affiliated with the Uni
ted Hebrew Trades, this motion
carried, no one voting against.
Then Millstein raised the cry
that this meant that Robert Gold
stein could not run, and demanded
that the international vice president
take over the chair. This the Presi-
dent, A. Finkelstein, refused to
yield and the right wingers started
the riot.

Strikes Spread; 5000

PAWTUCKET, r. l., March 15.-
New England textile workers are Bit
terly fighting the savage wage-slash-
ing policy adopted by the mill owners.
Strikes are breaking out throughout
New England as result of the at
tempts Of textile manufacturers to
lengthen hours and cut wages.
Although strikes are sporadic as
yet, it is quite likely that textile
workers throughout New England will
unite in an effort to resist the latest
onslaught of the mill owners.
5000 Workers Strike.
The Globe and the Social Mills, of
Woonsocket, r. L., owned by the Man
ville-Jenckes Company, which employ
about 5000 operatives, are both COM
pletely tied up by strikes. Workers in
the Social Mill refused several weeks
ago to accept the fifty-four hour week
which the Manville-Jenckes Company
attempted to foist upon them, and
operatives in the Globe Mill joined
them in sympathetic wRlkout.

The Bank of Taiwan is semi-gov-
