Strike of 1900 Window
Cleaners on Today

ness. The vote was followed by
cheers. Peter Darck, secretary of
the Protective Union, said, eve have
appealed to the employers to recog-
nize this union, which is a chartered
member in the American Federation
of Labor and in reply they organized
company union and threatened with
dismissal all workers who refused to
join their company union. We have
asked them to arbitrate such differ
ences as exist between you and your
employers. This they have refused to
do. In my opinion there is only one
thing to do now and that is to de-
clare general strike in the industry.
The employers have asked for a
strike and we will have to give it to
them. All responsibility rested with
the employers association"
The men demand a So increase and
union recognition.
Harry Feinstein, business agent for
the union, declared, eve made it per-
fectly clear to the bosses that we
were willing to arbitrate anything
except the recognition of our union,
which has been in existence for more
than ten years. We will not allow
the company union to dictate under
what conditions we will work in this
very dangerous occupation. There is
only one course open to us. We are
in position to carry on sharp and
successful strike"
Darck announced that the position
of the Window Cleaners Protective
Union was endorsed by the executive
committee of the Central Trades and
Labor Council, which also condemned
the company union. Mr.. Darck said
that many unions throughout the city
had promised financial and moral
support in the strike.
He also said more than one hundred
members of the company union had
come to him to pledge support in the
strike when it was declared. He said
the only reason they joined the COM
pany union was that they had been
threatened with instant dismissal if
they failed to leave the Protective
! Union.
Picketing committees were an
nounced and were instructed. A re-
lief committee was also formed.
Feinstein urged the strikers tc
carry on their picketing in peace
full manner and to avoid all invitation
to violence. He warned the men that
agents of the company union will dc
all in their power to provoke VIC
lence.
Darck said the strike will affect
100 shops and involve between Loco
and 1,2O0 window cleaners through
out the city.

ITALIAN HOSPITAL
NURSES REBEL AT
FOOD GIVEN THEM
WalkOut When Forced
to OYerwOrk

Because they were served poor, I'M
clean food, had to live in crowded,
stuffy quarters, and were unbearably
overworked, more than a score Of
nurses employed by the Italian Hos
pitat, S3rd st. and East River,
walked out the other day, it was
learned yesterday.
Conditions in the hospital were
graphically described by one Of the
nurses to a reporter for this news
paper. She admitted to him that "al-
though the conditions in almost all
the city hospitals are terrible, Italian
Hospital was conglomeration of all
their evils"
Do Work of Three
Since the hospital is understaffed,
each nurse has to DO the work Of two
or three nurses. In order to make it
possible for the small staff to handle
most of the work, nurses are told to
give baths to only one patient day.
In spite Of this, which is hardship
on the patients, the nurses are IN
able to finish their work even though
they labor at top speed all day.
Thus, many Of the most essential
wants of the patients must be ig
nored, she said.
Terrible Food
The food, which is described by the
nurses to be the poorest served in
the city, was often found unpalat-
able. On one occasion, just before
she resigned, the nurse said cock
reaches were found in it. The nurses
were so Disguised that many of them
got up from the table, went to their
rooms, and without further notifi-
cation packed their grips and left the
hospital.
Building Is Small
The nurses home, on 83rd ST., a
small two-story building, is too small
to house one-fifth of the nursing
staff. The hospital has rented the
ground floor of an old tenement next
to it on saith St., where the rooms
have windows only Is inches wide.
In these rooms, three and four
nurses must sleep in room that
should only accommodate one. Two
rooms were formerly clothes closets,
and these are the only rooms one
nurse occupies privately.

SIGNATURES ARE.
NEEDED TO PLACE
PARTY ON BALLOT
Nomination Convention
Will Be Held Sunday

Urging the support of all Workers
Party members in securing signatures
to place the Communist candidates on
the ballot, the New York District,
Workers (Communist) Party calls
upon all Party members to devote
Saturday and Sunday to this work.
The Party statement, reads in part
as follows:
"Since the last election, the big bust
ness interests that firmly control the
American government have been fos-
tering more reactionary laws upon
the workers and have been using ever
more openly the police, courts, city,
state and national power against the
working class.
"The appointment of Dwight Nor
row of the House of Morgan as am
bassador to Mexico, the shooting
down of hundreds of Nicaraguan peo-
pie by American marines, the killing
Of thousands of Chinese people by
American gunboats at Marking, the
disregard of the welfare of poor farm
ers by the Coolidge administration in
the veto of the McNary-Haugen bill,
the intensified exploitation of labor
by capital assisted by the government,
show that the trust and bankers are
utilizing to the maximum their power
for their own imperialistic and reac-
tionary purposes.
"The murder of Sacco and Vanzetti
demonstrates that this reaction is di-
rected in the first place against the
working class.
Road of Reaction.
"To this general reaction in the
country, New York City and state are
no exception. New York City and
state dominated by Tammany Hall
and the republican party have been
travelling the high road of reaction
since the world war. During the past
two years, the Tammany politicians
together with the republican politi-
clans have put over the short ballet
system which concentrates greater
power in the hands of the governor.
Now these same capitalist parties are
proposing to double the term of gov
ernor, senators and assemblymen so
as to make even more remote the in
fluence of the people upon the legis-
lators and thus enable big business to
put through yet more reactionary laws
against the workers.
"The attitude of Governor Smith in
the needle trades strike, the action of
Walker and his police in smashing the
traction strike, the use Of police in
the paper box truckmen strike, as
we'll as the shoe and needle trades
strikes, the issuance Of iniunctions
against all sections Of labor, the pas
sage of the Baumes laws which will
be used with crushing effect against
labor in their attempt to organize,
the Tammany Hall traction swindle
that is about to be perpetrated, the
housing program of the governor
which will place more millions of dol
lars in the hands of the real estate
sharks, all show that labor can expect
nothing from the capitalist parties
but reaction and still more reaction. y
In order to effectively carry on the
election campaign it is necessary that
the Workers Party put its candidates
on the ballot. We are still short
many signatures to enable us to place
some of our candidates in important
districts on the ballot. The Party
calls upon all members and sympa-
thizers to volunteer this coming Sat
