TEXTILE BALL
THANKSGIVING
CASTOR 7 Will Appear
at Nov. 81 Affair

The time has come, as the walrus
never said, for the workers of New
York to roll an appraising eye over
their footwear, otherwise known as
dog satchels. The reason for this
sole-searching is the huge Textile
Workers Ball and Carnival, to be
given on Thanksgiving Eve "a week
from Wednesday, at the New Star
Casino, 10th St. and Park Ave.
In the first place, the announce
ment that all seven of the Gastonia
class war prisoners will attend is
sure to start stampede for tickets.
The best shod toilers will be en-
abled to rush rough-shod over the
ensuing socialist competition, so to
speak.
Again, we'll tailored hoofs will be
a prime requisite at the affair itself,
where John G. Smiths Orchestra
will hold forth, which is enough as
surance that nobody's feet will have
a chance to go t. sleep.
Proceeds of this unusual prole-
tartan carnival will help support
the southern textile struggle, and to
aid the campaign to organize the
10000 unorganized New York tex
tile workers.
Tickets cost rs cents at the Ma
tional Textile Workers Union Of

auspices the ball has been arranged,

A violent attack on Tammany city
government and it's strikebreakers
came from one worker, when union
official assured the meeting the
strike call would be issued except
that "we don't want to hurt the
city,"
"What do we have to care about
the city," the worker demanded.
"Why, won't the contractors get
help from Mayor Walker whenever
they're short of scabs or want more
police to slug pickets?"

ratus. He is asking Gov. Roose-

IL LIZ In.
CHICAGO-Over 500 workers of
the Toledo, Peoria and Western
Railroad have struck, despite the
efforts of misleaders to prevent a
strike.
CHICAGO, Nov. 18.--After the
reactionary officials of eleven rail-
road craft unions had been crawling
after the bosses of the Toledo, Peo-
ria and Western Railroad for
months and months, begging and
wheedling for conferences, the ris-
ing militancy of the rank and file
workers of the T. P. and w. has
at length forced them to have a
strike vote taken AS in the past,
the vote will probably be fixed by
the officials to indicate strike is
not wanted. The sentiment for a
strike is strong.
The workers anger at the arrogant
attitude of the rail bosses in refus-
ing to discuss matters affecting
rules and wages on the road is
great. Sentiment for a strike has
grown.
While many of the rank and file
realized that only militant action
would win their demands for better
wages and revision of schedule
rules, the officials of their craft
unions resorted to the GROWING tao
tics they are so noted for.
AS early as 1925, and many times
since, representatives of these or
CARNATIONS started to beg for con-
ferences for "amicable adjustment
of our differences" to put it in
the takers own words.
From 1925 to the beginning of
this year, the misleaders, in true
craft union A F. of L. style acted
individually, until rank and file SEN
timent forced them after four years
to adopt united front tactics.
On June %, 1929, letter signed
by officials Of the II crafts was
addressed to president George P.
McNaid, Jr., of the T. P. and W..
No reply to his. Again they wrote
him begging letter, on June 20,
ard again on July %, and again
they were ignored.
Receiving no answers from Nc
Nair to their letters of September
6, October l and 5, the officials
went step deeper in the mire of
class collaboration by whining for
the help of a federal mediator "to
bring about an amicable settle
ment."
The federal mediator, Bickers,
recognized as a friend by the rail-
way president, arranged a confer
ence between the presidents as
sistant and representatives of the
Conductors, Firemen, Telegraphers,
Trainmcn and Maintenance Men.
At this conference the manage
ment refused to recognize the right
of the workers to participate collec-
lively In any controversy where
their interests were not specifically
involved"
The craft union takers then al
lowed the mediator to modify their
requests. to the extent of signifying
their willingness to deal separately
with the road officials, but 10 set
Element was reached, tho the takers
strained every effort to reach a
basis for sell-out.
The organizations concerned are:
Order of Railway Conductors,
Brotherhood of Locomotive Fire
men and Enginemen, Order of Rail-
road Telegraphers, Brotherhood of
Railroad Trainmen, Brotherhood of
Maintenance Of Way Employees, and
the six shop craft unions-Machin-
lists, Blacksmiths, Boilermakers,
Sheet Metal Workers, Electrical
Workers and Carmen.
