CHICAGO COUNCIL
|. FOR ALIEN AID
MAKES PROGRESS
Local Federation Of Labor
Endorses Organization

CHICAGO, Jan. 90 (FP)-Creden-
tailed by the Chicago federation Of
labor, the Chicago council for protec-
ton Of foreign born workers is sue
cessfulIy presenting the case against
the anti-alien bills in congress to local
unions. The proposed photographing,
fingerprinting and registration of
aliens, now under consideration at
Washington, meets no favor in Chi
cage labor circles.
The joint board of the Amalga-
mated clothing workers has donated
$50 to the council, which is headed by
Max Orlowsky of the machinists.
Other unions that have given or
promised money in the campaign
which has just begun are the cap
makers. machinists, cleaners and
dyers, and the bakers. Fraternal or
ganizations like the Austrian aid So
ciety and the Russian women's pro-
gressive league are cooperating.
Class To Train Speakers.
The council urges unions to put the
congressman on record regarding
their stand on the anti-alien bills. 1t
is conducting a class to train speakers
on the significance Of the bills and
their bad effect on labor organiza-
ton work, particularly in the basic
industries where foreign born workers
are numerous and where union ac-
tivity could be seriously impeded by
bringing government pressure on
aliens who Joined the union. A ma
turalization school is also conducted
by the council.
The Chicago council is a branch Of
the National council for protection of
foreign born workers OF Al Union
Square, New York.

GREETINGS

The DAILY WORKER since it's existence,
has helped and inspired the left wing elements
to fight against graft and corruption in the
American trade unions. It has constantly
fought against exploitation of the workers,
and it had fearlessly unmasked the traitors
in the labor movement.
We wish that in the future The DAILY
WORKER shall become more influential
among the American working class for whose
interests it is always fighting

(speeial To INC DaiIr Workerl


BALTIMORE, Nd, Jan. 26.-Sid-
ney Hillman's policy of "worker-em
ployer cooperation" has shown its
head in this town where the officials
of the Amalgamated Clothing Work
ers of America, it is alleged, have
given their approval to plan sug-
gested by Henry Sonnenborn & Co.,
largest shop in the city, employing
several thousand workers, for the
latter to become stockholders Ito pre-
vent the factory from closing down. "
During the last few years wages
have been reduced many times ac-
cording to agreements reached with
Anlalgamated officials. The last of
this series of wage cuts taking place
few weeks ago.
The Siren Sings.
Last Monday morning, Sigmund
Sonnenborn, president of the concern,
came to the machines and made a
short speech, informing the. workers
that business is very bad and | am
losing money. Not only my own
money but that of my wife and other
members Of my family. But in order
to save the concern and make it
possible for you to continue to work
here, am willing that each and
every one Of you become stockholders
and thus my partners. In that way
we viii be able to continue the bust
ness shoulder to shoulder"
The workers do not know how TO
answer this amazing proposal, and
with the local Amalgamated officials
conspicuous by their closed mouths,
many interesting developments can
be expected in the immediate future.

THE United Mine Workers of AM
\ erica is now holding its 30th con-
vsntion-the first general convention
of the union to be held in three years.
1t promises to be the most import
ant convention in the history of the
organization. II comes on the eve Of
an expected strike. 1t comes at a
time when the union has lost nearly
100000 members and the control of
the southern bituminous fields under
the misleadership of Mr.. Lewis.
The report of the United States
Bureau of Mines, made public yester-
day, indicates that over csc Of the
soft coal being produced in the coun-
try on December 81, 1926 (the date
of the survey was from non-union
mines and that over CLIO of the
miners employed in the production
OF soft coal were not members of the
union and were working in mines not
under the unions control.
Figures Prove Lewis Failed.
This evidence of the failure Of Mr..
Lewis administration is made pub
lie by the government on the eve OF
the convention with the intention of
discouraging the demand for strike.
1t will be argued by those opposing a
strike that even if the strike is 1000
effective, it can close less than $3.50
of the producing units and can call
cut less than 4Oee of all the miners
in the industry. If the policies Of
Mr.. Lewis are again followed, this
is no doubt correct, for Lewis has
never made an earnest attempt to
organize the non-union fields.
Genuine Strike VIII Win.
The hope for real struggle and
real defense of the miners interests
can come only if the progressive ele-
ments, which are sure to have con-
siderable number Of delegates. at the
convention, are able to force a policy
Of genuine strike of the entire in
dustry in which determined effort
is made to organize the unorganized
fields and make the U. NJ. w. Of A.
once more a union controlling the en-
tire industry.
The only obstacle to this is the
cowardly and even treacherous lead
ership of Mr.. Lewis because no one,
who knows the spirit of the men en-
ployed in the mining industry, can
doubt but that an honest call to them
and determined effort to organize
them would meet with an immediate
and enthusiastic response. They are
not non-uaion miners by choice but
thru the deliberate neglect of Mr..
Lewis and his machine to organize
them.

Lewis has displayed great weak
ness in his struggle with the coal
owners but great strength and fight
