CAPITAL SHIFTS
LOSS TO LABOR;
UNIONS IN PERIL!
See Wave of Strikes and
Organization
Workers Party Plenum
Plans Against War

That a sharp industrial crisis
faces the United States, with
growing unemployment and eff
forts of American capital to
shift the burden of the crisis
onto the shoulders of labor with
increasing slashes of wages,
lock-outs, more attempts to de-
stroy trade unions, and consequently
wave of strikes and organization Of
new forces into the labor movement,
is the opinion which the Political Com
mittee of the Workers (Communist)
Party will present to the full meeting
of the Central Committee of the Party
beginning today at Irving Plaza hall,
18th st. and Irving Place, New York
City at p. m.
Most Important Event.
This plenary session of the leading
committee Of the working class party
is rated as one of the most important
events in American political life of
recent years.
The sitting occurs at the opening
of period considered by the Com
munist leadership as a turning point
in American economic and political
life, and consequently in the life Of
the labor movement.
That the organized labor movement
now faces crisis of the gravest sort
is an opinion of the Communist lead
ers which is now more or less openly
admitted by a growing number of
conservative and even reactionary
trade union leaders. The opening ses-
sion of the Central Committee this
afternoon will be presented with some
thoroly worked-out plans for facing
the crisis in the trade unions with
concerted action of the party member
ship in the unions.
1t is we'll known that sporadic
strikes in various parts of the coun-
try very definitely indicate condi-
ton which lays the basis for coming
wave of strikes. That a correct lead
ership of the militant elements in the
unions can bring hundreds of thou
sands of unorganized workers into the
unions, making for new vitalization
of the labor movement, is an opinion
which underlies measures which will
be proposed for the vigorous tackling
of the problem of organizing the un-
organized.
Labor Party Drive.
Extensive plans will be offered for
the work of hastening the breaking
away of the masses of workers and

turn the whole thing into a reaction

Smith and the corrupt Tammany ma

thruout the New York labor move

ANTI-STRIKE LAW
LABOR ST|FLINC
Experts" to Take Over
Members Powers

Disclosure yesterday Of the details
Of the proposed nationwide anti
strike law, sponsored by the Amer
lean Bar Association with the coop
Grafton of the American Federation
of Labor and the open shop employ
ers, confirmed the charge that the
formula" has for its purpose the
double purpose of sitting the labor
movement and setting up a wall
against the influence of the left wing
in the unions.
Among ten conclusions announced
by julius Henry Cohen, heading the
Bar Association Committee, are one
advocating that claw should give en-
forcibility to contracts for the set
tlement of industrial disputes" and
another which states that "where the
organization of employees is more or
less Communistic in its tendencies
there is strong opposition on the part
Of management to the attempts of
the organization to gain foothold in
industry"
Would Eliminate Union Members.
Another conclusion" arrived at by
the reactionary Bar Association is
that "great care should be taken not
to drive too fast but to make use of
the experience of men who have spe-
cial knowledge of the subject" This
provision is interpreted to- advocate
the handing over of certain union
problems to experts" for solution
thus paving the way for the final
elimination of the union members as
q factor in working out their prob
lens.
Other so-called conclusions would
provide for collective arbitration
agreements, labelled voluntary" and
a form of union-management coop

Of self government in industry"

Co., charged with violation of the
mass picketing injunction. At the
same time gunner hired by the coal
and iron police of the Pittsburgh Ter
minal Coal Co. bombarded the miners
barracks and school house at Brough-
ton with rifle fire.
At Daisytown union organizers
were advised by troopers that fur
ther mass picketing would bring ar
rests under the Schoonmaker injunc-
tion. But the organizer replied that
the miners do not recognize the in
junction, and picketing would con-
tinue. State police wanted to take
the arrested pickets before the COM
pany squire, but on the objection of
the organizer, they were taken to the
county seat.
Mass picketing is continuing with
out further arrests. Two strikers
were arrested at Neffs, Ohio, when
300 strikers picketed the scab mine.
Mass picketing is spreading like

|. R. 7. FARE CRAB
is NOW CERTAIN
Tammany Understood
To Be Behind Move

Following the announcement of
Thursday that the company will in
crease the subway fare to seven cents
beginning March 8, the Interborough
Rapid Transit Co. yesterday prom
ised to grant a Is per cent increase
to its employees on that day.
The wage promise followed imme-
diately upon their previous informa-
tion that neither the city authorities
nor the transit commission had made
any attempt to devise means of halt
ing the threatened fare grab. 1t is
now clear that the l. R. T., in order
to ensure definitely it's increase in its
fare will soon apply to a supreme
court justice for an Injunction pre-
venting the city authorities from in
terfering.
Union Is Silent.
This move, competent observers
state, indicates the complete recon-
ciliation between the Morgan inter-
ests and the Chase National Bank
group which until recently had been
opposing each other. The way for
this had been paved by the Inter
myer investigation.
Officials of the Amalgamated trac-
tion union refused yesterday to indi-
cate any sort of action in the situa-
ton.
Big Loot.
Even assuming that the I. R. T. will
make good its promise Of wage
raise, it will nevertheless leave the
corporation 80 per cent of the $685.

5000 JODLESS IN
FALL RIVER FIRE
Workers Houses Burn,
Fear Wage Cuts

FALL RIVER, Mass, Feb. 8. -
Over 5000 workers were thrown out
of work as a result of fire which
destroyed 20 city blocks here last
night. Severe hardships are expected
following this huge increase in un-
employment.
The fire started in the Pocasset
Mill No. 2 and spread rapidly. Mills,
newspaper buildings and many plants
were consumed. The workers quar-
ters in the neighborhood of the tex
tile mills were directly in the path
of the blaze, and many dwellings oc-
cupied by workingclass families were
wiped out. At least 300 were injured,
including 10 firemen. Fire apparatus
had to be summoned from Boston,
Providence and other cities in the
vicinity. All telephone and telegraph
communications were shut off. Tex
sile workers fear that the mill oper-
ltors will use the fire as a pretext
Tor further wage reductions.
