ELECTS" The
SHOP COMMITTEE
They Will Represent
the Company

CARTERET, N. J. (By MaiD.--
Last Wednesday the ballet was cass
to elect the shop committee (the
company one), in the United States
Metals Refining Co. of Cartert. The
company succeeded in selecting its
men tc "represerJ" the employees,
who were disenfranchised by the
company's rules.
The total vote cast was 1,180 out
of $500 men employed, or 40 per
cent of the men. One was required
to be 90 days in the employ of the
company to have the right to vote.
And to be a candidate the terms
were as drastic as in old European
feudal days.
The minimum of time you had to
be employed by the company is
three years and the candidate had
to be American citizens and over
81 years of age. The only thing
overlooked was the color Of hair
size of ears. However, the men de-
sired by the company became the
members of the bosses committee.
1t is true that the office and
higher gang, foremen and good job
holders went to the polls. Many Of
the workers refused to vote, saying
at does not mean anything any
way"
The bosses one hope is to keep
the FESTIVE workers "cool," But the
wage raise is always in the work
ers' mind here and they say they
will demand that the committee
press that question as their first
grievance. What the committee
does will show whom they repre-
sent.
We don't expect anything, but
the fact that we have been fooled
will come out of the bosses selec-
tion.-Maxim Tramp.

4iliated with the Friends of the
Soviet Union. Roger Baldwin hail
ed the aviators as mot only pioneers
of high courage, but representatives
of whole nation of pioneers. The
future belongs to the workers.
Baldwin declared; "even we of the
middle class know it," He saluted
the Moseow-New York flight as a
symbol of the enormous strides the
first workers republic is making in
Socialist construction.
By this time the 10000 workers
had swarmed onto the field and were
milling about the speakers stand,
breaking into enthusiastic shouts at
every mention of the fliers and of
the Soviet Union. Otto Huiswood
of the American Negro Labor Con-
gress declared that the U. S. S. r.
has special significance for the
Negro workers of America, who
realize that only under workers
and farmers government can full
racial equality be attained.

basso, Ivan Steschenko, orchestral
members and two selections by tho
Freiheit Singing Society, and adj

NJ. Goodman of the F. S. U. followed,
Edith Rudquist then made a presen-
tation of medallions to the filters in
the name of the F. S. L. and Alex.
Trachtenburg prese ssed a bronze
tablet for the Osoaviakhim Building
in Moscow, and announced that ID
tractors had been ordered by the
reception committee for the workers
and peasants of the U. S. S. r. He
requested that American workers :,
assigned collective farm in the
U. S. s. r. to be supplied with model
farm machinery.
Shestakov described the hardships
of the flight, which he said the
wonderful receptions organized for
us have helped us to forget. The
presents and banners which have
been given US will be turned over
to the Revolutionary Museum in
Moscow for the specially-formed
department to be devoted to the
Moscow-New York flight" he said
Rolotov said that future flights over
the route first negotiated by the
Land of the Soviets would be made
in sea-planes, and Fufaev added a
few words of heartfelt thanks to the
American workers, explaining that
if his voice was unsteady. it was
because he was excited and almost
frozen, the crowd roaring with glee.
The reception closed with the singing
Of the International.

SOCIALISTS IN
BERLIN COUNCIL
PROTECT CRAFT
Start Fight to Cover
Up Crooked Mayor

BERLIN, Nov. Socialists do
not believe in fist fights or any
other kind of fight against capital
ism but they were ready enough
to start a fist fight in the Berlin
city council in desperate effort to
saw ether grating mayor, Gustav
Boess, from vote of censure pro-
posed by the Communists Party frac-
ton.
The proof was ineontestable that
Boess had received from the city
clothing contractors, the Sklarek
Brothers., an expensive fur coat for
aridiculously small price, The bank
ruptcy of the Sklareks, which in
turn caused the failure of the munic
ipal bank with the life savings of
thousands of workers swept away,
brought about an investigation
pushed by the Communists and the
scandalous graft evidence piled up
against Boess and other socialist
leaders was exposed by the Com
munist paper, the "Rote Fahne."
Boess, however, was spending Sl2,-
900 of Berlin's money on junket-
ing tour of America, and was loath
to come back to fac ethe music.
When he did, he was met at
Bremen and Berlin by large crowds
of irate workers, and tried to Tex
plain" the fur coat business by stat
ing he had told Sklareks that he
would give the difference between
the real price and the few marks
h epaid to clarity. But unfortu-
nately there is no record of any
charity having rec lived cent from
him. Boess' charity 'began at
home"
Thus when the city council met,
the vote to censure him was adj
mitted sound by all but the social
lists, although the capitalist parties
would like to shield him. So the
socialists started fist fight to
stall voting and the meeting adj
journed without : cision. The Com
munists will insist on vote decision
at a new meeting to ensure Boess
being Gus I before the cit yelection.

nal for the first wave of turbulent
applause. AS the hour for the APP

spontaneous outbursts of lusty sing

more and more frequent.
Delegations of workers from as
far west as Cleveland and Detroit,
as far south as Philadelphia and
Wilkes-Barre, Pa, and as far north
as Boston had come to the field in
buses, bringing banners for pre-

Rivera Dictatorship
Faces New Struggles
As Valuta Takes Drop

PARIS, Nov. 10.-In spite Of all
the dictatorship Of Primo de Rivera
can do, the Spanish peseta keeps
falling in value on exchange. This
has been going on since February /,
of this year, and of sourse affects
the workers in increasing the cost
of living while their wages remain
at an already low level.
This opens prospect of increas-
ing disconte.. 1t and strike movements
in spite of the collaboration of the
socialists in tn eexisting 'joint coun-
ellis" formed by the government and

case of Illinois, also against the
Fishwick and Lewis misleaders.
Attention To Steel.
1t is necessary at once for the
7. U. U. L. to pay especial attention
to the steel workers. In the auto
industry, particularly, there is a
wave of unemployment, every auto
center reporting masses of jobless
and continued firing of workers.
The auto workers union is calling a
great convention to meet in the
near future in Detroit, with broad
basis of representation to form a
powerful industrial union. A pro-
visional organizing committee to
take charge of convention arrange
ments is on the job already.
A. F. l.. Takers Scared.
Foster reports that in his meet
ings last week in Detroit, Pontiac,
Cleveland, Youngstown, Buffalo,
Rochester, the meetings besides be-
ing very successful, showed that the
A. F. l.. officialdom was deeply con-
eerned and alarmed. In most of
these meetings strong groups of the
local officials attended, and, though
not able to heckle the speaker, sat
glum throughout the meeting and
watched the workers enthusiastically
applaud for the T. U. U. L. organ
ization campaign.
In all Of the above eenters, and
others covered on the trip, district
I. u. U. L. apparatus was created,
local leagues are organized or are
being organized in outlying but
nearby oenters, and as soon as the
tour of the National Organizer, Jack
tombstone, begins November "a,
these local general leagues will be
drawn into district conventions Of
the It. u. U. L., at which the ma
tional organizer viii be present.
Active organization of industrial
committees in the main centers are
under way.
The substantial numbers of Negro
workers at the Foster meetings was
particularly noticeable.

BUFFALO, N. Y, Nov. 10.-The
entire executive board of the Buff
falo central trades and labor coun-
ell marched in and sat through Will
liam z. Fosters speech here along
with 500 workers Of the steels, tex
tile, chemical, auto and other in

siastic over the thrashing Foster
CAV ethe A. F. L. because Of it's
sell-out policies, its militarism, its
support of American imperialism,
and it's failure to do anything for
the workers.
He explained the program of the
T. U. U. L. for active organization
of the unorganized into the new
revolutionary unions of the T. U.
U. L., affiliated with the Red In
ternational Of Labor Unions, for a
worldwide struggle againt ascpi-

He showed, too, that the T. U.

over the workers in their unions.
Many workers present enrolled in
