WORKING WOMEN
TO Meet dec. IS
Federation Calls Big
Delegate Conference

The New York Working Women's
Federation has issued broad call
for a delegate conference to be
held Thursday evening, Dec. Is, to
lay plans for vigorous campaign
to organize unorganized women in
the leading industries of New York
State. The conference appeals to
working women in shops, factories
and stores to meet and elect their
delegates to this most important
meeting, or if this cannot be done
to come themselves with one other
shop mate and take part in shaping
the policies which will follow from
this meeting.
The Delegate Conference to or
ganize the unorganized will be held
Thursday evening, December 18th,
at the Labor Temple, 14th st. and
End Ave. The New York Working
Women's Federation, initiating this
discussion as a preliminary to the
campaign in behalf of the many
thousands of exploited women work
ers, does so with the full recogni-
ton of the fact that New York is
the state in the country employing
the largest number of women work
ers.
The reactionary labor misleaders
of the American Federation of La
Dor have pursued its policy in New
York as elsewhere, excluding wo-
men workers from organized trades
and deliberately sidestepping the
issue of organizing them.
The militant forces Of workers
in the needle trades, furriers, mill
linery and food workers have fought
this policy and organized thousands
of working women over the heads
and in spite of the understanding
tactics of the corrupt officialdom of
the A. F. of L.

MANY WORKERS
JOINING WINDOW
CLEANERS union
so Percent of Bosses
Ask for Terms

Representatives of the Window
Cleaners Protective Union, Local 8,
are jubilant. The drive to organize
the entire business is meeting with
unexpected success, according to
Harry Feinstein, secretary of the
fighting union.
Starting three weeks ago with
the object of organizing the 400 non
union workers in the open shops of
the industry in New York, the ap-
plications for membership, Fem
stein said, exceeded, so far, the
unions most hopeful expectations.
Bosses Capitulate.
Most gratifying, he said, was the
fact that since the drive got under
way nearly half of the open-shop
bosses have come to the union ask
ing for terms. In many cases the
bosses have used third-party inter
mediaries.
More than 10 shops have ac-
cepted the unions demand of "A
hour week with $45 minimum
wage-scale.
Many bosses, Feinstein said, used
racial antagonism for their own
purposes. They pitted the white
worker against the Negro worker.
Negro workers were told that the
union would not accept Negroes as
members. This, Feinstein said, was
a lie. Nearly 100 members in the
Window Cleaners Protective Union,
be said, were Negroes.
Union officials claim that the en-
tire industry will be organized
within a month.

against their employers.
On the other night active workers
in the fur dressing industry will
come together to a conference in
Joint Board headquarters to con-
slider the organization of TIL a t
greatly unorganized industry.

RALLY MILLINERS
TOLOCAL MEET
Left Wing in Call to
Fight Bureaucrats

Almost simultaneous with the
printed announcement of the Mil
linery Workers Local "a of men,
bership meeting, which was issued
by the right wing officialdom of that
local, appeared circular distributed
by the organized left wing of that
union calling on the members to
attend the meeting and compel the
officialdom to take up the questions
most important to them now instead
of the "watery' agenda prepared by
the official local machinery. The
meeting will be held tonight, i'm
mediately after work, in Bryant
Hall, Sixth Ave. and And Street.
DESTROYS of avoiding uncon-
Portable discussion of the burning
question of unemployment that is
now haunting the bulk of the men,
bership, the officialdom intend to
take up the usual reports" of the
locals petty officers, while the APP
peal of the left wing calls the work
ers' attention to this question of I'M
employment as we'll as to the cam
paign of union destruction which the
chief bureaucrats are carrying on
by its policy of expelling left wing
ers and smashing locals that have a
left wing leadership.
Most reactionary of all the pro-
boss policies Of the Zaritsky machine,
the left wing leaflet points out, is
his policy of organizing the employ
ers into strong manufacturers as
ISOLATION for the purpose Of forcing
on the union a collective agreement.
The union now has agreements with
the employers individually. Zarit-
sky wants to change this in order to
force the piece-work system on the
walkers and compel them to return
tosthe 44-hour week. These are not
mere conjectures. Zaritsky has
openly stated himself as favoring all
these sell-out tactics.
The circular also sharply con-
dennis M. Spector, the right wing
head of Local "a who likes to pose
as progressive" while condoning
the Zaritsky gang in all its union
wEecking steps, from the expulsion
of. left wingers to the enforcement
off piece-work. The left wing call
concludes with the following APP
peals: "Come to the meeting to fight
against the secret attempts to bring
back collective agreement and the
piece-work system! Come and fight
against. the pogrom on the militant
membership and leadership of Lo
cal AZ! Come and demand that steps
be taken TO end the terrible unem
ployment"

COMMUNISM AND
THE MACHINISTS

in policy, namely, organization of
the trustified industry, amalgama-
ton of the craft unions into an in
dustrial union; fight against the in
junction, ETC., all necessary mea-
sures to put the union on fight
ing basis. 1t is a program that is
supported not only by Communists,
but also by progressive elements
who are not Communists. In its
wild campaign the Grand Lodge
brands every progressive measure
as Communist, and forbids anyone
to propagate it. Circular 103 be-
comes a weapon against anyone who
advocates changing the union into
militant organization. 1t divides
the union into two camps-on the
enc hand, the reactionaries; on the
other, the united front of Commu-
nists and progressives.
Explosions Must Be Fought.
Unless the. present expulsion cam
paign is defeated now, tens and hun
dreds of militant workers will be
similarly expelled, unless they cease
their militancy and see their union
dwindle in membership and influ-
ence, without raising their voice in
protest. In the face of the swing
to the right of the leadership, in
view of the naturalization process
which is undermining the skill of
the machinist, in view of the Grand
Lodge extending its class collabora-
ton policy, it becomes of the great
est Importance for militants in the
I. A. of M. to speak up, to CONSOLE
date the progressive forces in the
organization and challenge the lead
ership of the Grand Lodge in the ma
tional election il 1929 and IL the
various district and local lodge cleo
tions.
No Middle Ground.
The progressive forces inside the
|. A. of M. must work hand in hand
with the Communists; there is no
middle ground. The Grand Lodge
has spoken. Anyone fighting for
zeal progressive measures, whether
member of the Communist Party,
sympathizer or an honest trade
unionist, will be given the same
medicine by the Grand Lodge. The
Grand Lodge has taught US that all
those who are progressive must
hang together, or be hung sepa-
rately. A campaign against expul-
sions must be carried on; local
lodges must protest against the ex-
pulsion campaign; they must de-
inand the right of every worker to
belong to the trade union covering
his industry, regardless of his po-
litical convictions.
The Grand Lodge has raised the
issue sharply-their conservative
program against the progressive
program. This struggle will go on,
until one side wins, and historical
forces are on the side of the pro-
gressives. The Grand Lodge policy
must be changed. The attack
against the Communists must be
stopped. Around these issues a
strong national progressive move
nent must be built up.
The only why to abolish unem-
ployment is to abolish capitalism.

FLOOD RELIEF
STUDY CLOSED

WASHINGTON Jan 81 tP - The
longest and the most comprehensive
study of the Mississippi valleys flood
problem ever undertaken by a con-
gressional group is expected to be COM
pleted tomorrow by the house flood
control committee.
Having amasSed testimony totalling
more than 100000 words from over
800 witnesses, the committee will end
hearings that have been in progress
for II weeks. Although number OF
witnesses have yet to be heard, Chair
man Reid announced late today that
he planned to end the public sessions
tomorrow. .%
The senate commerce committee
which also is considering flood legis-
lation, is to continue its hearings next
week and will have as its principal
witnesses Secretary Hoover, Secretary
of war Davis and Major General
i Edgar Jadwin, chief of army surgeons
/ Dismissed from the witness stand
two days ago by Chairman Reid, after
verbal encounter over his failure to
answer questions, General JadWin re-
/ turned to the committee room today to
lreview his flood control plan, which
was recommended to congress by
President Coolidge. There was no sign
of friction.

FAILURE OF sHARKEY

FAILURE OF SHARKEY
Numerous reasons and some ex-
ctses have been given for the form
flop that Jack Sharkey took in his
recent fight with Tom Heeney. 1t
was the second chance that Sharkey
had been given to fight his way
into championship money and he
failed twice.
He was stopped last year by Jack
Dempsey in the final number Of Tex
Richards elimination tournament and
after rest of six months his progress
was stopped again when he could do
no better than get draw with
Heeney.
The fact that he was out Of the
ring for six months and had grown
rusty was the principal excuse offered
for his poor showing. The body
beating that he took from Dempsey
and a feeling of caution for a weak
left hand were given as other reasons.
It is true that fighter can't
remain idle for six months without
suffering lapse of form. 1t is true
that a body beating from a Dempsey
will not improve a fighter and it is
true also that fighter invOIuntariIy
favOrs hand that has been broken,
NO AMBITION LEFT
It may be that Sharkey got all the
bad fighting out of him in that
Heeney bout and that he will come
back and redeem himself enough tc
get into one of the two contests that
Gene Tunney wants this summer
But we doubt that Sharkey ever
will get to the place that he looked
destined for before he met Jack
Dempsey.
lii the. first place Sharkey is not a
smart fighter and he is too arrogant
to be taught even if he were young
enough to be taught. He has glaring
faults like a habit of leading with
his right hand and a vain tendency
: to- act bored and allow his mind
to wander other places when he is
fighting. He showed himself the
/, greenest of rookie fighters when he
/ turned his head toward the referee
to utter a squawk and exposed his
chin to Dempsey.
! That one act of leading with his
chin convinced any number of smart

GAME TONIGHT
PROMISES BIG
CONTEST AT "

What many of the fans expect will
be the greatest game of basketball to
be played in this city this year will be
played at the Y. M. @. A. tonight. The
Tucson General Cords will show their
stuff against the Y. M G. A. team
The visitors have a good record to
their credit. They have won 13 games
out of IA played The star player OF
the Cords is Dlul McKain, who has
made an average of IA points game
for the IA games he has played. He
also led the City league of Tucson last
year in scoring. McKain is a high
school and college star, and is at pres
eft enrolled at the U. of A. He plays
an excellent floor game, passes well, is
good dribbler and is an uncanny shot
from any position on the floor.
AIDE Abbott, elongated center, has
had a great deal of experience in bas-
ketball. Ade is liable to- go on scor-
ing spree at any time. Paul Abbott is
remarkable standing guard. He
makes up for his small stature by his
aggressiveness, and it is due to his eff
forts that the opposing outfit find
"pot'' shots under the basket almost
impossible.
Reader, who plays a forward posi-
ton for the Cords, was one of the stars
Of last years l58th infantry team.
Burr, a guard, played with the same
team, and was one of the largest
Scorers Of the last years Tucson league
The other members of the squad are
Leonard Abbott and Monroe Vreeland,
both of whom have had some past ex-
perierlce. The visitors expect to haYe
a real game tonight and the local boys
are expecting to see to it that they
get it. E
The PLAYERS Of the Y team who have
been on the injNred list for the past
two weeks are now ready to take part
in the games again. Hiatt, who rs
captain Of the team this year, has been
resting for two weeks with sprained
ankle. Verdugo, who also received q.
sprained ankle in the Bisbee game, IS
also ready to play again today.
All of the Y squad will be on nand
tonight to help make the visitors step.
Loya is now getting his stride and IS
steadily putting the ball IN the basket.
Magma dS playing a better game
than at any time this season. Magarla
is called by many the fastest player
that plays on the Y floor, and nnuch
is expected of him tonight. Verdugo
is also finding the basket with regu-
larity and with Hiatt, .Verdugo, Loya,

team. there is promise of real basket

also three fast players, and Director

boxing men that he never would do
against smart fighter and skilled
critics found other minor traits OF
a nom thinking mechanic in his work
Secondly, and more important as
far as his future is concerned;
Sharkey obviously has become salts
fled. He hasn't the spark of ambition
without which no fighter can succeed
to the championship.
HAS PLENTY OF COUEAGE
He has plenty of money, enough to
buy all Of Litl1uania, as Dan Morgan
says, and it is apparent that he
has lost his interest in the business.
He also has surlY disposition and
is inclined to pout.
He feels that he has not been
given a square deal by the sport
writer's and that Tex Rickard gave
him the works last year when he
showed Dempsey in ahead of him
after he had fought himself into a
position Of what he considered to
be the undisputed challenger.
The sport writers have been very
fair to him. Nothing more than
what he said and did was printed
about him and in fact most of his
comments about Dempsey and Tunney
were censored. His complaint against
sRickard is also groundless because
Rickard would not have forced him
to take the Dempsey fight if he had
refused.
After his success against Godfrey
Wills, McTigue and NIaloney, it is
quite likely that Sharkey felt he
could take Dempsey and he would
get two cuts of the big dough instead
of one.
1t is no secret that his managers
can't handle hing. Jimmy Johnston,
who has very convincing way of
handling fighters, was recruited to
get him ready for the Heeney fight,
but Johnston couldn't make him mind
with threats or prayers. No one
could advise him before the Dempsey
fight, during the fight or after the
fight and it is not likely that he
will change now.
But with all his faults, do not let
any one tell yon that Jack Sharkey
hasn't heart or lacks courage.
