These petulant complaints, lead
ers of the Industrial Union point

all the tricks and devices of the
swindle maneuvers of the bosses
and their company union.
Meanwhile, the Industrial Union

campaign, according to the union,
will commence soon on a large scale.
Meanwhile, preparations are going
forward. Large block and building

be conducted.

CAP OFFICIALS
ADMIT DEALS

Cap strikers met at 1873 Second
Ave-, yesterday, to hear their Off
Gals report on how their strike was
being conducted in the most mod
ern," anti-union fashion.
Officially the strike was called to
enforce the demand that bosses put
up security on the agreements and
for the 40-hour week, which was
won following the 1926 strike over
the heads of the officialdom, but
which officialdom has yielded to the
bosses.
At the meeting, H. SAFER, a left
wing cap maker, took the floor and
charged that the officialdom had
understandings" with the bosses to
return their security shortly after
receiving it. At the same time
SAFER also charged that at time
When the capmakers were fighting
for the 40-hour week, workers in
shops which have settled are already
working more than 40-hours.
Evading these categorical charges,
Roberts, general secretary of the
union launched vicious attack on
SAFER and declared that he was a
delegate to the T.U.E.L. conference
in Cleveland"

'ImpartiaP' Cloak Chairman
Walls About the Chain Stores

A statement issued yesterday by
Raymond V. Ingersoll, so-called i'm
partial chairman of the cloak in
dustry, revealed strikingly just how
far the Schlesinger clique in the In
ternational Ladies Garment Work
ers and the manufacturers can meet
the competition OF the chain stores
against the jobbers and manufac-
turers. 1t was apparently for this
reason that the recent fake stoppage
was put thru.
In this statement Ingersoll COM
plains that the owners of the chain
stores snap their fingers at the or
gained jobbers, cloak manufac-
turers and their servants in their
company union-now even more
than before.
What is most urgent, Ingersoll de-
clares, is that the association of the
bosses be made stronger. At the
same time he complains of an at
tempt on the part of the chain stores
and groups of stores to get from
the manufacturers, in addition to
the regular trade discount, an adj

the Negroes are realizing the fight
of the National Textile Workers
Union is theirs as we'll as the strug-

All the Newark organizations
pledged a donation, and adopted

DETROIT, July 22.-Three thou

Part of Strike Wave.
That the strikers express the
mass discomfort of the workers
throughout the auto city against
ruthless speed-up and wage slashes
IS indicated by the strikes at the
Ford plant and at the Buick plant
at Flint. Over 1900 are off the
line at the Buick plant. They are
led by a strike committee of 20. The
Ford walkout was called for two
hours when workers on five lines
refused to work on material for the
Murray Body plant last Friday.
While the lines are continually
broken as workers join the strike,
enthusiastic strike meetings are
he'd daily at union headquarters at
IS Adelaide st. and at the New
Workers Home at 1343 E Ferry
Ave.

AUTO WORKERS
FOR UNITY meet
Other Workers Also to
Hold Conferences

With the strike of 5000 workers
in the Murray Body Plant in De-
troit growing, plans are proceeding
fey the preliminary conference tc be
held there on August II to elect del
egates to the great Trade Union
Unity Convention to be held in
Cleveland August 81. This conven-
ton, an epoch-making event in the
history of the American working
class, will create new trade union
center in the United States.
The conference planned in De-
troit is only one of the numerous
gatherings, representing thousands
Of organized and unorganized work
ers, to be held throughout the
country. Foremost among these, in
addition to the one planned in De-
troit, will be those of marine work
ers, shoe workers, textile workers,
hmalgamated Clothing Workers
and workers from numerous other
industries.
Thousands to Be Represented.
Thousands of workers are expect
ed to be represented at the great
Eouthern Textile Conference to be
Iald in Charlotte, S. c., Sunday,
fully 28. The conference will be
held in the center of the struggle
of the textile workers to build a
strong, militant union and where
courageous fight is now being put
up to defeat the plans of the south
ern mill barons to electrocute Is
strikers and strike leaders.
The preliminary conferences in
Charlotte will elect delegates to the
Cleveland Convention.
Shoe Workers.
Progressive shoe workers, at the
initiative by militant members of
the Independent Shoe Workers I'm
ion, have also arranged for two
day conference in New York which
Wal be held Aug. 10 and IL at Irv-
ing Plaza, 18th st. and Irving
Place. The shoe workers throughout
the United States, and especially in
the Eastern centers, have not been
exempt from the naturalization
Nmpaign of the bosses with its con-
Iquent speed-up, slashing of wages
hid understanding attacks.
Tin the Middle West, no less than
nine preliminary conferences for
the Trade Union Unity Convention
is being planned in the metal min
! ing sections of Northern Minnesota
and Michigan. Here also consider
able sentiment has bee aroused for
! the Cleveland gathering.
One Of the most significant Of the
preliminary conferences will be that
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1929-07-23

of the marine workers who have an
nounced conference for Aug. II,
to be held at the Marine Workers
League, % So1th st. The seamen
and dock workers are among the
most mi-erably exploited workers
in the entire world, and have had
their share of betrayals at the hands
of the corrupt misleaders of the
American Federation of Labor. Join
ing with other workers in the fight
to establish a new trade union cen
ter, the preliminary meeting will
select delegates to the Cleveland
Conference.
With the war danger becoming
more immediate each day, the organ
ization of the seamen along class
lines will be q powerful weapon in
the hands of the working class
against the imperialist war mongers.
The great Trade Union Unity Con-
ferences is the center of the concen-
tration of the forces of the militant
workers from all industries and all
sections of the country. 1t will
adopt a program of struggle to
mobilize and unite the militant work
ers in old and new unions, as well
as organize the great masses of UNI
organized workers into one coordin-
ated center.
Appeal to All Workers.
Special attention is being paid to
the unorganized workers and es-
peciallly the Negro workers.
The trade Union Educational
League appeals to all workers, in
GLIDING Negro workers, especially
in such key and basic industries as
steel, automobile, railroad, rubber,
textile, airplane, chemical, meat
packing, ETC., to Immediately or
ganize their shop committees, by
calling together those of their shop
mates most interested and forming
shop committees, then extending
the agitation for the Unity Confer
ence to the broad masses in the shop.
Funds Needed.
Of vital necessity to the success
Of the Conference Is the raising of
the $4,000 fund. This fund must
be swelled at once, and all workers
and workers organizations. are
urged to send in their contributions
Immediately.
