SENTIMENT OF
WORKERS FOR
A WALK-OUT
Wage Raise and Better
Hours Is Demand

Panic stricken by the threat of
1000 stage hands in New York City
to go on strike tomorrow if their
demands are not met, the labor COM
mittee of the International Theatri-
cal Association, the bosses league,
attempted yesterday to avert the
strike by comforting with officials of
Local / of the Theatrical Protective
Union. Sentiment among the stage
hands is overwhelmingly for the
walkout if all the demands are not
met by the bosses.
The International Theatrical AS
ISOLATION is the organization of the
atre managers, whose agreement
with the stage hands expired last
Sunday. The agreement was not re.
newed at once, since the members
of the stage hands union refused to
agree to work for $48 a week.
Demands of the stage hands in
clude weekly wage of 800 for de-
partment heads, of whom three are
required in each theatre-property
man, carpenter and electrician. AS
sistants to department heads now re-
ceiving sos a week are asking 500.
Department heads are now paid
from S75 to S100.
The union is also asking change
in working hours and crew Of
seven men in theatres alternating
weekly between musical and dram
attic attractions. Ordinary stage
hands want $85 a week. The old
agreement was made two years ago.
More than two thousand stage
hands in New York are members of
the union and if strike is called
Saturday virtually every theatre in
New York will be affected.

proposing that conferences be held
between the bosses and the U. T. w.

for this proposal, which the U. T.

T. NJ. C. leaders declare, "the insti-
tuition of the speed-up plan will
mean bigger wage cut than before,
in addition to an inhuman exploita-

Expose Settlement.
The Textile Mill Committees or
ganization has been preparing the
strikers for the coming betrayal for
the last few weeks, by exposing any
fake settlements the Batty gang
may arrive at. Even statements
made in the local capitalist press
admit that the overwhelming ma
jority of the strikers will not go
back to work unless the employers
capitulate completely. Nevertheless
some sort of fake settlement will be
made with the U. T. w. as first
step toward splitting the said ranks
of the strikers.

the detrimental effects of the COM
ing strikebreaking moves of the A.

Workers Union again put forward
their demands for twenty per cent
wage increase, the forty hour week.
etc. The T. M. c. also announces
that preparations are in full swing
for the immediate resumption of
huge daily picket lines at the mills.
Plans for the organization of Block
Committees among the broad masses
of strikers is already well under
way, the strike leaders declared. The
immediate goal for this work is the
establishment Of at least so block
committees.
These organizational measures are
being entered into now in order to
prepare for the police terror that
will be aimed at the Textile Mil

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Sept. g.
The Cleveland district of the Work
ers (Communist) Party and the
Young Workers (Communist)
League is at present engaged in a
strenuous effort to bring the influ-
ence of the Communist election cam
paign into the shops and factories
of Ohio and Kentucky. Speakers are
preparing tours throughout the dis
trict, concentrating on the unor-
eanized industrial towns. Commun-
list literature and leaflets will be
distributed before factory doors.
The Daily Worker will be placed in
the hands of workers who for years
have seen no genuine labor litera-
ture.
Two speakers are already out on
a campaign tour. Sadie Van Veer
and L. Bower, representing the
Workers (Communist) Party and
Young Workers (Communist)
League respectively, have held meet
ings before factory gates in Dayton
and Middletown. At Dayton the
meeting was held before the Delco-
Remy Light Goa General Motors
controlled plant. A crowd of 500
workers were present at the meet
ing.
In Middletown the speakers adj
dressed a crowd of workers en-
ployed in the Beech-Nut Tobacco
plant. They were enthusiastically
received by the workers, who until
that time had come in contact with
no workers movement whatsoever.
Into these cities, as we'll as all the
cities of Ohio and Kentucky where
the workers are forced to slave for
starvation wages and under horrible
speed-up systems, the Communist
election campaign speakers will
bring the message and platform of
the class struggle.

MINERS STILL
ON BIG STRIKE
Russian Unionists Send
$4,000 Aid Weekly

STOCKHOLM (FP), Sept. 6. =
Locked out last January because
they refused to take wage cut, A.
900 iron miners are still on strike
in central Sweden after eight
months of conflict.
Wages underground equal 1862
cents in American money, so per
cent reduction in a few years. When
the 1927 agreement ended, bosses
sought to write a further 10 per
cent cut into a new agreement to
run for two years. A strike and
lockout followed simultaneously.
The Russian Miners Federation,
which concluded a mutual aid pact
with the Swedish miners last au-
tumn, has been sending the strikers
about $4,000 a week in relief.

Chick Hafey put the Cards in the
lead with a home run with one on
in the fifth, only to have Paul
Waner hit for the circuit in the
ninth, with L. Waner on base, to tie
the score. The Pirates threatened

SWIMMING MARATHON NOT
TO BE RESUMED THIS YEAR

TORONTO, Ont, Sept 6 (UP)-
The failure of any of the contestants
to finish in the 15-mile Wrigley
swimming marathon in Lake Onta-
rio yesterday appears to have
sounded the death knell of another
such event in September.
If the event is renewed in 1929
it probably will be much earlier in
the season, as the water is entirely
too cold in September.
The management of the mara
thon announced today that the prize
money of $4,000 this year would be

WE MADE A GOOD TRADE.

~ ENTLEMAN got peeved at something
I about the Gazette last week and came in
~ and had his paper discontinued. He was
nice enough about it though, he didn't refuse it
at the post office which proves he had courage
to come in and tell US he didn't like it.
Every day we see things don't like in
papers and even in windows. Now, for in
stance, day two ago we saw pair OF shoes
in window. We didn't like the looks OF them
and wouldn't wear pair of them on bet, but
we didn't go into the store and tell the merchant
we wouldn't trade with him any more on ac-
count of those shoes. Later in the same after
noon we passed the same store and saw the
merchant taking the shoes out of the window to
sell them to a man who thought they were the
very stuff He liked them so well that he she'll
ed out enough filthy lucre so he might hide his
ungainly toes in them and walk out among the
people on Sunday
But getting back to the man who didn't like
the Gazette. On the same day he stopped his
paper two other men came in and coughed up
two dollars EACH They had read the Gazette
and liked it so we'll they decided they wanted
the paper for year. We are satisfied with the
trade of one subscriber who didn't like the paper
for two that did, as the man who traded an en-
pity bucket for turkey. We're running the Ga
zette. We try to print all the news we can get,
and we will continue to run the Gazette without
asking anyone what to print and when to print
it, We haven't ntimated that we know every
thing and that our ideas are better than yours.
The only difference is, talk to approximately
$500 people each week, where you talk with pos
sibly 100, and we don't get peeved with farmer
when we pass his place and see where he has
corn planted where he ought to have flax, and we
don't get peeved when we pass show window
and see something we wouldn't eat or wear. We
always figure it pleases the farmer or merchant,
and possibly every other person who passes.
The gentleman mentioned above hasn't quit
reading the Gazette, mind you He'll drop around
to the barber shop and read the paper from now
on and possibly cuss it, all of which worries US
not a whit, as the more people reading the pa
per the better off our advertisers are. The old
sheets been going the rounds for nearly sixty
years and bids fair to keep going. There S
strength in years. especially when applied to a
country newspaper.-The Editors.
