Wage Cuts Heavier

Organized workers registered SO
wage increases in February, accord
ing to Labor Bureaus April survey,
But IA groups, mostly unorganized,
reported cuts. By far a larger num-
Der were effected by cuts than by
increases. Strongly unionized print
ing trades workers won nearly half
the gains, building trades union were
second and transportation trades, also
organized, were third. Ten of the IA
wage reductions were suffered by the
unorganized New England textile
workers, three by building employees
and one by city employees.

NEW BEDFORD, Mass, (By Mail.
Embroidered by the success Of their
wage slashing policy in other eenters'
the Cotton Manufacturers Association
has announced a general wage cut
ranging from % per cent to 10 per
cent for the workers Of this city and
Taunton.
There are 10000 textile workers
here. of whom 5000 of the more
highly skilled are organized IN the
American Federation of Textile
Operatives. This union, the leaders
of which stole the strike vote, which
was cast in Fall River some weeks
ago. will take a ballot Of their work
ers on Thursday, and Judging from
the spirit of resistance which the
workers are themselves showing, 1t
seems certain that a strike will be
declared. In that case New England
will witness a struggle on a much
wider scale than the manufacturers
bargain for.
New Bedford can be the center OF
revolt against the inhuman condi-
ton existing in the industry.
In spite of the fact that Salvation
Batty, who smashed the dyehouse
workers strike last year in the Pacific
Mills of Lawrence, IS preparing to
follow in the footsteps Of police COM
missioner and union president Tan
say of Fall River, the militant action
of the small group of workers in the
New Bedford silk mills indicates that
the union will vote to strike.
Preparations for the steal have
been made in the provision that
four out of seven locals in the New
Bedford Council must have a two
thirds majority for strike before ac-
ton can be taken. The leaders,
among them Samuel Ross, associate
commissioner of Massachusetts
state labor board, are talking very
loudly and very militantly of a
strike. But a glance at the ballot
ting conditions and a remembrance
of what happened at Fall River will
teach us to watch our leaders"
Every man who is in the American
Federation Of Textile Operatives in
New Bedford must vote strike at
Thursday nights meeting. The ac-
tion of the New Bedford silk workers
much be taken as hat thrown into
the ring.
Every member of the American
Federation Of Textile Operatives must
support the workers who have thrown
down the challenge to the bosses and
the union leaders.

May Day l saw in Hamburg in 1907.
Tie Up Port.
The complete tie-up of the port Of
Hamburg on the First of May in 1907
shows how the German workers will
fight if their holiday is. threatened.
Ships which came in on April 80 de-
manded stevedores for unloading as
usual for the following day.
The hiring of port workers in Ham
burg was done entirely through the
union. The union considered May
First as a day of no-work and pro-
ceeded accordingly. No stevedores
were furnished.
The Marcus Cohn und Sohn is big
shipping company at Hamburg. One
of their ships came in on April 80,
and the company decided that May
Day was all humbug; unloading must
go on as usual. They demanded 200
stevedores for the next day from the
union, threatening to import them If
the union refused. The union refused.
The German workers must have their
"Maifeier."
Scabs.
On May First two barges came in
to port with about 100 labOrers, ready
to unload the ship. They had been
recruited by the company at Altoona,
a town near Hamburg. AS soon as
the union workers realized what the
barge contained, stones and rotten
vegetables and everything lying
around the port which they could lay
their hands on, went flying through
the air into the barges. The men
never landed Four Of the scabs were
hurt.
A clerk of the company came down
to the wharf to get onto the ship.
you intend boarding that ship" a
worker asked. "You work on May
First?" asked several others. There
was no time to answer, for a good
kick had landed the white collar slave
in the water.
Come to Union.
The next day the company again
came to the union for workers. The
union obliged and the ship was I'M
loaded.
This ship was only one of the many
that waited in vain for workers on
Nav First. The German workers are
Jealous of their May First tradition
Of no work. They will fight any eff
fort on the part of the employers to
encroach on their holiday, and in re-
cent years they came to many bloody
clashes in various German cities.
| see that in New York we are GO
ing to celebrate May First in Madison
Square Garden this year. That Is

work on May First and come at .

No Wages for
Rubin Cafes
80 Walters

tBy Worker Correspondent
January %, friend of mine got
job for So from the Clarendon EN-
ployment Agency as waiter at
Rubin's Restaurant, with a promise
from the agency that the job was
worth 500 a week.
Reporting at the job the next day,
he was accepted and started to work.
At the end of the week he inquired
about wages and to his surprise he
was informed that at Rubin's Restau-
rant no waiter receives wages.
Not satisfied with paying no wages,
the manager, man named Cracoa,
made it compulsory, under the penalty
of discharge, for each waiter to pay
every week day sixty cents, every
Saturday seventy five cents and every
Sunday one dollar, out of his tips, for
the services of a bus boy. Out Of this
money collected from the walters, the
management paid the bus boys wag-
es. The average money the walters
earned in tips did not amount to more
than $28 or $32.
Join Union.
AS time passed the Amalgamated
Food Workers Union came to help
and advise US. We told. them about
the unsanitary condition of the wait
ers' locker room and the unbearable
treatment we got from the manager.
Our clothes We're kept in little hole
next butcher-shop which smelled
like the butcher shop.
Our hours were never less than u
"a day. So we signed up with the
Amalgamated Food Workers. Some
how yellow rat signed up also with
the rest of the boys. So Mr.. Cracoa
called all the help to his office to
question everyone individually about
the coming strike. All those who re-
fused to give him satisfactory infor-
nation We're fired the next day. 81
hear there's union meeting today"
they told US, you'd better go up and
don't come back" Only one was kept
on, the rat.
Fellow workers, | am sending this
information to The DAILY WORKER
because | am sure that no other pa
per will print it. | am doing this SO
that you may all realize the necessity
for union. Join the Food Workers

SAVE ELECTRICAL

Agreement SELLS" Men
to Bosses
by a Worker Correspondent

by a Worker Correspondent
| being one of the electrical work
ers not allowed in the meeting OF
Local of the international Brother
hood of Electrical Workers, and not
having a chance to speak out my mind
on the ways and means of making .
living, hope that you will print this
in The DAILY WORKER which, l
think, is the only militant union paper
in America.
Good Men Ousted.
Why am l kept out of the meeting
together with hundreds of others.
Simply for trying to be good union
man and not sitting in the meeting
hall like a dummy and not talking.
All of us that are kept out have paid
up cards. Anyone who gets up at a
meeting now is kept out and has to
stay out.
This is one man union now under
the misleadership of 'Mussolini
Breach" All the officials are mere
puppets and pay-rollers. Members
can be out of work for three months
and still have to pay their dues just
the same.
, TreacnerOus Agreement.
The officials get from 500 to $125
per week and are elected for one year.
The agreement between the contrac-
tors and the local is the greatest piece
of treachery, cowardice and ''no-guts"
on the part Of the officials. There is
no word with which to describe this
sham, fake and fraud piece of work.
One of the articles says in black
and white: 'The employer shall be
the judge of the competency OF the
employee, and he shall be at liberty to
employ and discharge whomsoever he
sees tit" And this goes under the
name of a union.
Graft Job.
There is a job in this city, the New
York Life Building, big structure.
The superintendent, who does the
hiring for this job, has the nerve to
ask everyone who applies for job;
Have you letter." A letter is
usually from this OF that Democratic
or Republican leader of a district,
and not everyone can get letter The
officials allow this to go on, altho it
has been called to their attention.
There are thousands of men out of
work. Yet they allow men who are
fortunate to be working on some jobs
where they allow overtime.
Why are all these ills in our union
| will try to state why in a few
words:
l. Men Like Breach are more
dangerous in their effort to destroy
the trade union movement than a
Major Berry of the Pressmens
Union. For Breach has the gift of
CAB and is well read and so can de-
ceive the ignorant.
2. Men in the union are too sus-
picious of one another, because they
are brought up in that way, and
they are too apathetic.
The militants of this union ought
to adopt a "Save-the- Union" pro-
gram. After all this is our very
existence, the Union.
