FURRIERS DEMAND
McCRADY Get OUT
A. F. Of L. Agent Tried
To Wreck Greek Local

Edward F. McGrady, special agent
of the A. F. of L., sent in to or
ganize the campaign of destruction
against the Furriers' Joint Board,
and A. Sotiropolis, his right hand
man among the Greek fur workers,
nave been told by the membership
of the Greek Workers Local 20, to
get out of the organization bag and
baggage, and thereby permit the
workers to rebuild the union.
This decision was made by the
membership at a recent meeting des-
pite the fact that the local is COM
pletely controlled by the right wing.
The meeting was called after those
in control of the local could no longer
resist the mass demand for a mem
bership meeting. The most import
ant action taken at the meeting,
however, was voted unanimously al
ter the workers had listened to the
wrangling of the two groups in con-
troll of the local for over four hours.
The committee proposed by the
progressive workers was elected to
investigate the finances of the union
and attend to other important phases
Of union work, and also to bring back
to a membership meeting to be held
in a few days a set of recommenda-
tons to remedy the open shop condi-
tions in the industry.
The committee was also instructed
to work out plans to rebuild the shat
tered organization. The committee of
five elected were all rank and file
members of the local, and were unan-
imously elected with full powers des-
pite the strenuous opposition of the
McGrady machine.

the workers were gathering in head
quarters to begin an organized march
to the picket line around the mills on
the South End. 1t was the South End
Hall, on Patomska and South First
st. that the police squadron attempted
to close.
Not relying on the possible decision
of the license department to renew
the permit, the officers of the Textile
Mill Committees Immediately went
out and obtained the use of a large
open lot, and announced to the strik-
ers evicted from the hall that mass
meeting would be held. When the
meeting took place later, it was at

Appeal for Aid to Strikers.
In state sents issued by the Work

appeal is sent out to the whole labor
movement, to provide the strikers
with bread and other bare necessities
When the enthusiasm, and high spirit

served it is readily admitted by even
those not acquainted with labor
struggles that the strike will win if
the workers are given food.
The intense exploitation existing in
the mills here, where the average
wage of an adult worker was about
SIG a week, was the reason for the
workers not having anything in re-
serve to assist them in holding out.
The extremely low standard of living
caused by these low wages, have made
it certain, however, that if bread and
other absolute necessities are provid-
ed by the other workers, the strikers
will keep their ranks as solid as on
the day when their 100 per cent walk
out shut the gates of So textile manu-
facing mills.

FORCE OUT A. F. |.
MEMBERS;OTHERS
WORK below RATE
Gill, Bricklayer Head,
Is Named

Evidence Of corruption in connec-
ton with the practice of discriminat-
ing against union men in locals affili-
ated with the American Federation of
Labor in favor of workers belonging
to a dual union was disclosed yester-
day as a result of information that
laborers of locals 116 and TAG of the
Hold Carriers have been removed from
a number of jobs at the orders of the
Bricklayers' Executive Committee of
which John J. Gill is the chairman.
Employers, it was disclosed, are
paying for the privilege of employ
ing members of the dual United Build
ing and Common Laborers Union at
a scale in many cases So per day
lower than the regular union rate
and that the rakeoff is being divided
between members of the Bricklayers'
Executive Committee and those at
the head of the dual union.
Information obtained from num-
Der Of workers employed at the jobs
affected disclosed that about fifteen
laborer members of locals 116 and
TAG of the International Hold Carriers
Building and Common Laborers Union
affiliated with the A. F. of l.. were
last week forced from jobs at 225th
St., west of Broadway, operated by
the Tavalacci and Callano Construc-
ton Company and from jobs at 166th
st. and Morris Ave-, operated by the
Castle Construction Company. The
order forcing these workers from their
jobs was served on the bosses by Peter
Humphreys, the workers stated.
Humphreys, who represents local
81 of the Bricklayers, accord
ing to information confirmed by
both workers still employed at the
jobs and those who were forced out,
came to Callano the employer, at
225th st. and informed him that he
would have to discharge those of his
employees where were members of the
regular A F. of L. union and employ
only those of the United Building and
Common Laborers Union, the dual
union.
At the head of this dual union, ac-
cording to details disclosed previously
by The DAILY WORKER is one D.
+. Dioguardi, who has served a Jail
sentence after being convicted for
graft and extortion at the time of the
Lockwood Building Investigation.
Dioguardi was then forced out of the
labor movement but has since been
set up as the head of the dual union
by Gill, the head of the bricklayers
executive committee.
The practice of forcing out union
men in favor of the dual organiza-
ton sponsored by Gill has been going
on for several years. The graft and
rake off, from the practice, it is
charged, is divided between the MEN,
bers of the executive of the bricklay-
ers and those at the head of the dual
union. The union scale is SO whereas
the members of the dual union are
forced to accept in most cases as low
as Sc. 1t is generally understood that
employers pay handsomely for the
privilege"
Complaints and appeals to the
American Federation of Labor and to
William Green, president of the Fed
Grafton, have been Systematically
neglected and sidetracked, it was dis
closed during similar exposures last
winter.
