Rabbit Dressing Shops
Paralyzed by Workers

Only 2 shops in Brooklyn and
none in Newark is the total number
of Consolidated Rabbit Dressing As
ISOLATION shops now still at work. This
announcement was made yesterday by
the union to show the results OBJ
tanned by the employers association
who declared that they intended to
reopen their shops under rs per cent
wage reduction.
One of these shops is run by the
manager of the bosses organization
with the help of two scabs, and the
other shop operates with only the
owners working. The union is picket
ing these shops continually.
After joint membership meeting
of both locals affected, 20 and So,
which had decided not to accept arbi-
tration of the bosses demand for a
reduction, the employers broke off ne
gotiations. They had hoped that the
workers would agree to remain in the
factories at a reduced wage. The
workers, however, Immediately left
the shops and an almost complete tie
! up resulted.

"The All-American Anti-Imperialist
League is circulating all Latin
American organizations in this coun-
try asking for support for the de-
tense in this case which, as already
indicated by the judge, will result in
conviction unless widespread support
for &the accused workers can be de-
veloped at once" the United States
section of the league said in a state
ment last night.
"The campaign is being carried on
by kilograms. This case represents
the final test as to whether or not
foreign-born workers in America are
to be subjected to any arbitrary pun
ishment that American big business
may decide to inflict upon them be-
cause Of their convictions. We call
attention to the fact that forty-seven
of the strikers in Colorado are Mex
leans and that the most brutal treat
ment is being meted out to them by
the same military machine which pro-
tects big business in Latin America
against the interests of the Latin
American people"
The statement is signed by Manuel

Zetkin Writes of Talk
With Lenin in Letter
From Soviet Children

Clara Zetkin, writing in the
"Reminiscences of Lenin" tells of
talk she held with Lenin in 1922,
and how at that time Lenin re-
ferred to a letter he received from
group of children.
Clara Zetkin writes as follows:
"Lenin said:
"'A few days ago received a
letter from an out-of- the-way little
village. About 100 children in
home wrote to me:
Text of Letter.
"'Dear Grandfather Lenin: We
want to tell you that we have be-
come very good children. We are
studying hard. We are already
able to read and write and are do
! ing many good things. We wash
ourselves well every morning and
wash our hands when we eat. We
want to make our teacher pleased
with us; he does not love US when
we are dirty"
"'You see, dear Clara contin-
ued Lenin, we are making sue
cesses in all fields, serious sue
cesses. We are learning culture,
we are even washing ourselves
every day! See, even the children
in the villages are participating in
the building up of Soviet Russia.
And in such conditions should we
be afraid that victory will be on
our side?'
"And here Lenin laughed, laugh
ed with his former joyful laughter
in which so much goodness and
assurance in victory rang"
A Lenin memorial meeting will
be held at Madison Square Garden
Saturday evening.

FIGHTS WAGE CUT

Officers of the American Associa-
ton of Plumbers Helpers, whose
members are involved in the wage
cut made Monday by the plumbing
firm of Lipsky & Rosenthal of
Brooklyn, announced yesterday that
they are planning definite action to
protect their men.
"This wage reduction handed to
about twenty of our members in
Brooklyn is merely the beginning, in
the ranks of the weaker sections of
the building trades workers, of a gen
eral attack on the standards of all the
building union trades" the announce
ment stated. "The journeymen
| plumbers on this job are already
working below union standards. We
consider it significant that Lipsky,
the senior member of the firm, is the
president of the Independent Master
Plumbers Association. This is nc
ordinary wage reduction. The time
has come for the building trades
workers to act if they would prevent
the greatest attack on their union
standards since before the war"
A meeting of the helpers employed
by the Brooklyn firm will be held
shortly, the helpers union announced,
at which action will be taken.

.I.R. T. Men RESENT
INTIMIDATION
Workers on Subway
Favor Strike

Considerable resentment has been
aroused among New York traction
workers as a result of information
disclosed yesterday that the Inter
borough has been intimidating Will
lam Thompson, motorman who is
member of the Amalgamated Asso-
citation of Street and Electric Railway
Union.
Thompson, who was recently APP
pointed as acting chairman of the
union by Amalgamated officials, is
only one of several score of employees
who have been prosecuted and dis
charged, the workers report. Dozens
of cases have been reported to Of
ficials Of the union, but no action has
been taken, union members state.
Workers Ready To Act.
Sentiment among the traction
workers for a number of months was
favorable to a strike as a means of
protecting themselves against these
attacks from the I. R. T., but the Of
ficials of the Amalgamated in the
meantime made an agreement in
court to hold off any action pending
the decision on the injunction pro-
ceeding to be heard on next Monday.

and women of the teaching force"
Mayor Walker and the city admins
tration are strongly criticised for
their failure to support the lowest
paid teachers
"How long are the deserving peo-
pie going to stand for injustice ?"
Hylan asks in a letter 10 Dr.. John
Ferguson, commissioner of the board
of education. INSTEAD of the au-
thorities using the money for the
purpose intended by the legislature,
some of the poorly paid teachers have
received only an increase of 50 a week
out of the $14,00O,000 allowed to take
care of the underpaid teaching force,
while some. of the higher paid of
ficials have been increased as much
as $4,000 more a year"
Hylan Ought To Know.
Hylan says the board of education
would never have dared to use this
money to enrich the already we'll
paid officials to the extent of thou
sands year if mayor Walker and
the city administration had insisted
on the lower paid teachers being
treated fairly and in accordance with
the legislative intent of the law"
The teachers were underpaid when
Hylan was mayor. And he is now
a disgruntled politician with little
influence.

Unions Call Meetings.

FALL RIVER, Mass, Jan. 18-Tn
keeping with the policy of wage cuts
that is now effecting all of New Eng
lands textile centers, the Cotton Man
ufacturers' Association is to demand
a general wage slash of ten per cent
in a conference this week with the
Fall River Textile Council.
An announcement to this effect was
made Immediately following the post
ing of wage cut notices in the large
mills of the American Printing Com
pany, The Stevens Manufacturing
Company, and The Arkwright Mills.
The reductions in these mills became
effective Monday.
Meetings of all the unions affiliat-
ed with the Textile Council will be
held this week. The resentment ex-
pressed by the workers shows that
sharp struggle against the cuts is in
evitable.
