Mill WORKERS
TO HAVE union

MANCHESTER, N. H., Jan. 6. -
First steps towards organizing the
10000 mill workers employed by the
Amoskeag Manufacturing Co. here
were to be taken at meeting of the
United Textile Workers of America
and the American Federation of La
Dor today, John L. Barry, president
of the Safe Federation, announces.
National headquarters of the Textile
Workers in New York state that
many requests from the mill workers
here for organizers have been re-
ceived. A wage cut of 10 per cent
was introduced in the Amoskeag here
and at Fitchburg, Mass, Christmas
Eve. No tempt to organize these
workers has been made since the big
Amoskeag strike liz 1929.
FALL RIVER, Mass, Jan. 6. One
of the largest Fall River cotton mills

cent wage cut for it's 500 workers and

similar cut to follow one announced
for Dover, N. H. Amoskeag Mills at
Manchester, N. H., and Pepperell
Mills of Biddeford, Me-, wi h branch
at Lowell, Mass, have cut Haverhill
shoe factories have cut wages also.
Other textile centers are likewise
suffering from depression. Passaic,
N. j., has 10000 unemployed in its
immediate vicinity, according to Paul
Fuller, director of Workers Educa-
ton for the district. The federal en-
ployment office lists 5000 jobless in
Passaic alone. Fuller is calling an
unemployment conference for Feb. A.
5 at Passaic.

egg anthracite coal, and a furnace
to consume it. This, he assured, was
serious matter for the merchant,
since the rumor had already gotten
out widely, and his business would be
in danger since the miners are de-
termined to cut off those people who

8-Hour Day-Where Is It?
Disgruntled committee men of an
other colliery asked why the execu-
tive board member allowed that con-
Germ to operate their colliery beyond
the eigkt-hour limit. The local had
taken steps to stop the practice when
the official gave his approval to the
company's measure stating it would
mean more jobs for the men. But
this act was opposed to the locals
wishes, and an explanation was de-
manded.
The board member floundered
about catching thin phrases to screen
the emptiness of his excuse. He
wrestled with nothing for few min
utes, stretching words to cover up his
discomfort. AS he sat down, the sec
rotary swung in with his chantey OF
receipts and expenses, cutting off
further debate, and tumbling the
meeting to an unfinished adjourn
ment. This left most of the matter
to be thrashed out on the streets

grievance which was further elab-
Grated by the vast presence of the
engineer himself who accused the
lokie man of being without CUTS. "
The lokie runner jumped out of his
patience, and accused the other of
"scabbing particularly as this en-
gineer was one of the grievance COM
mittee men, and had actually agreed
to do another mans work without
extra pay!
Debate swung high and low for an
hour, and opinions of each other were
rendered freely until the official
hammer banged on the lean table
again, cleaving the way for official
dom to speak-which it did through
the mouth of the chairman whc stated
this matter would be referred to high
err channels for action as cold condi-
lions must be restored in all the col
lieries." The lokie man lit a cigaret,
and passed into the shadows of the
back reaches of the room.
Maple Hill reports loss of iurisdic-
ton over culm bank men who were
switched to the adjoining colliery
that they might be knocked off" on
idle days contrary to the agreement
already made at Maple Hill which
required that if any rock at all was
being taken out of the breaker on
idle days, the full crew of bank men
be employed. The committee men of
the neighboring colliery noted this,
and promised to restore those men to
work.
Buy Batteries?
Then came the matter of batteries.
A delegate stated that the company
was trying to compel men to buy dis
charge batteries to set off their dyna-
mite. ''In other collieries batteries are
furnished free by the company. Here
they are trying to sell them to US.
What is your opinion?"
A variety of opinions came forth
some holding batteries were better
than fuse because you were sure that
the charge would go off-there were
fewer misses" than with dynamite;
others contended that the old fashion
ed fuse was far better since you had
no wire trouble after the blast went
off which you do have with batteries.
A motion was made to restore the old
fuse again, and not use batteries.
This motion was passed with strained
ayes.
Merchant Uses Coal.
The executive board member then
got up and assured the members that
the rumors about certain merchant
using an oil burner were untrue, as
certain miners investigated the mans
basement. and instead of the alleged
Gil burner, found there few tons of

of the two extreme results occurred,
i.e., failure of the strike or success
of the strike.
Attorney General Helps Bosses.
Attorney General Boatwright came
to the rescue of the coal operators and
the Industrial Commission when, on
Nov. 6, he said the strike was il
legal, unlawful and the notice of the
strikes was void.
The law provides that committee
presenting demands to the boss or
commission must be employed-good
and well for the company, for when
the miners committees of the differ
ent camps signed statements and
presented them they were discharged
at once.
All who took an active part in
drawing up demands were discharged.
According to the law these men were
unlawful, etc., ETC., etc." oh yes,
the Industrial Commission is for the
workers as well as for the capital
lists.
SO Per Cent Wage Cuts.
In the ninth report of the Indus
trial Commission of Colorado for the
year 1925 we can obtain an insight
into the functions of the commission
in behalf of the workers and Judge
for ourselves. The present strike
shows who's who and their action all
through the years also tells tale.
Of great number of cases review
ed (mainly disputes between miners
and operators) I find that over 90
per cent were on wage reductions and
that the cases ended by saying mo
protest, case closed"
Of course the miners were unor-
ganized with the exception of few
United Mine Workers locals under
the type of leadership of Lewis. The
Rockefeller plan was found other
places where decreases were accept
ed with joy.
At this period the U. M. w. A. of
ficers of the district were spending
carfare touring the state telling
workers they would have to take the
cut and in 1927 they toured telling
workers they must not go on strike
for an increase of wages.
Need for Strong Union.
In reviewing other cases, one can
note that where there is a strong
union, able to uphold it's position and
fight for more wages, wage increases
were granted, proving that in the
strength of the union the workers
have their success and not in any COM
mission. Weak, divided workers were
easy prey to the commission for wage
reductions. The bosses pill was sug-
ar-coated by the commission.
Commission Is Bosses Weapon.
Like all other "three party" com
missions the Colorado Industrial Com.
mission is weapon of the capital
list against the workers. 1t is means
of class collaboration as we'll as of
open suppressions. It's laws and acts
and the anti-picketing law are means
for the state to check the advance
of the workers. 1t is weapon of the
capitalist, through the capitalist
state, in period of capitalism when
Capitalization with more power to the
state is necessary for the capitalists
in order to hold their own against the
rising working class.
