Fairland, near Dayton, to pave the
way for the ground battle.

"It is in line with the strikebreak-
ing activities of Woll, McGrady and
the rest of the corrupt, bureaucratic
A. F. of L. gang"
This was the Characterization last
night by the Joint Board of the
Needle Trades Workers Industrial
Union of Matthew VOLTS strike
breaking blast in the New York
Times, organ of the right wing,
against the Forthcoming struggle of
the fur workers.
Are We Satisfied"
"The statement of the A. F. of L.
committee-Woll, McGrady and Col
lins," the Needle Trades Union de-
clared, "that there is no reason for
the fur strike, that 80 per cent of
the workers are employed and are
thoroughly satisfied with the condi-
tions in the shops, will call forth
ridicule, not only from the fur work
ers, who are we'll acquainted with
the treacherous role of the A. F. of
l.. officialdom (Which has destroyed
the once powerful furriers' union
and brought untold suffering to the
thousands of fur workers), but also
from all others who have any knowl-
edge of the chaotic conditions pre-
vailing in the fur trade today"
WAGES Cuf Half
Continuing, the statement says:
'It is common knowledge. that the
wages of the workers in the fur
trade have been reduced about so
per cent, working hours have al
most been doubled, overtime is be-
ing worked at single rate, the sub
contracting, the speed-up system
and the sweatshop have been gener-
ally re-introduced as a result of the
disruptive activities of the A. F. Of
L. Committee in the fur trade. The
workers in the fur trade nave abso-
lutely no protection. They are dis
charged at will; they work under
the most miserable conditions of sla-
very and are at the complete mercy
of the bosses. The long hours
worked by those furriers who are in
the shops and the general chaotic
conditions in the trade are directly
responsible for the more than 5000
unemployed workers, who are liter
ally starving.
"The statement that no dissatis-
faction exists amongst the workers
in the associated shops is equally
untrue. The fact that great many
of the associated shops were repre-
sented at the trade conference held
on May A, and have, together with
the other workers voted unani-
mously for the strike is the best in
dication of the temper of the work
ers.
Strikebreaking.
'The part of the statement which
says that the A. F. of l.. Commit
tee will throw it's force against the
strike, will not be read with aston
ishment by the fur workers. The
activities of the A. F. of L. in the
1926 strike, when above the heads
CT the strikers they attempted to
sell out the demands of the work
ers, their campaign of terrorism,
provocation and frame-up, instituted
by the A. F. of L. since 1927, have
convinced the fur workers long
time ago that the A. F. Of L. Off

URGE FORMATION

Militants Charge That
Council Conspires
to End Strikes
Fight for 5-Day Week
Urge Organization Of
Unorganized

Over $4,000 building trades
workers will be locked out to-
morrow at S o'clock, according
to the decision of the profit
glutted building trades bosses,
made formally at a secret meeting
of the board of governors Of the
Building. Trades Employers Associ-
alton here yesterday afternoon at
their offices at 2 Park Ave.
If the decision holds not only will
the $4,000 workers be thrown from
their jobs by the order of the bosses,
but thousands of other workers en-
gagged in work closely associated to
the building industry will also be
forced to cease work. This includes
especially bricklayers and steel
workers.
Hits Many Trades.
Those Immediately effected by the
lockout order are steam engineers,
carpenters, plumbers, plumbers
helpers, steamfitters, painters, ele-
vator construction men, trowel
trades workers, cement workers and
their associated helpers.
When word of the lockout order
became known militants in the build
ing industry began to advocate
among the rank and file workers
the immediate formation of shop and
building committees and workers
council in order to safeguard against
betrayal by the officials.
Urge Mass Struggle.
Charges were also made by the
militants that the lockout order was
tie result of a deliberate conspiracy
between the building trades employ
ers association and the Building
Trades Council in an effort to break
the strike of electrical workers
against several big New York bosses
and also in an effort to break down
the comparatively high wage stan
dard of favored workers in the in
dustry.
In addition to the formation Of
shop committees and workers coun-
Gil, they pointed out that the situ-
alton caused by the lockout should
be turned in the direction of a
genuine struggle of the building
trades, not only to defeat the con-
spiratorial plans of the bosses and
the corrupt official union leadership
but also to organize the countless
unorganized thousands in the in
dustry.
The building bosses claim that the
reason for their action is the contin-
uation Of the strike of mechanics
who went out on strike in support

8. The electricians struck on three

Several days ago the Building
Trades Employers Council an
nounced that after several confer
ences with the union officials it had
decided to grant five-day, 40-hour
week, and ten per cent increase,
setting Aug. "a as the date for the
beginning of the new schedule.
Last Saturday, however, the
bosses association suddenly an
nounced that this arrangement was
off Indefinitely, unless the union Of
ficials succeeded in calling off the
strikes of the mechanics and cleo
tricians. At the same time an
rouncement of the lockout was
made.

\. GROSVOLD RETURNS FR0N SIX MONTHS
 TOUR, CONTINENT

The schooner Fl Hurd, Capt. Ralph Grosvold, skipper, and A. Grosvold, owner, arrived in port yesterday from Seattle enroute to Sand Point. The Fl Hurd un- derwent alteration to the ex- tent of $12,OO0 while in Seattle, MT. Grosvold says, and it now probably the finest vessel of it's size and type in that Westward district.
 1 The name of Grosvold can be likened with those of the earliest day pioneer of Alaska for he set- tied at Sand Point in 1888 and has been there since. In 1902 he established his present mercan- { tile business, this was directly af- ter the Nome gold rush. Since that early day he has acquired many other interests, canneries. fox farms, etc., and for years past has been recognized as one of the Westwards most promi- nent Of business men.
 For the last Six months MT. Grosvold has been touring the continent for two purposes, that of regaining his health and to visit relatives residing at the four corners of the continent.
 He left Sand Point February 27 and during the intervening period visited all thru the mid West, the East and down South. Tn Wisconsin he spent happy reunion with brother whom he had not seen for 51 years. At this family reunion 42 relatives Iof the family were present. Many other descendants are scattered at other points in the United States, and in Europe.
 MT. Grosvold, who returns to his Alaska home much improved in health, recalled his first trip to Alaska, in 1887, at which time he first made the acquaintance of Capt. o. A. Johansen. They formed friendship at that time which has lasted down the years and while in Seward the oldtimers had considerable to discuss.
 Others on board the Fl Hurd are MT. and Mrs. Oscar Bartel who will assume charge of the Gros- void blue fox farm on Cherbor- ough island, 50 odd miles from Sand Point; Joe Lyns, the we'll known Westward oldtimer; and Innes Nickeferoff, former Seward lad, who is now holding down the cooks job on the vessel.
 The Fl Hurd is 65 feet in length with a tonnage of 38. 4 mail sub sidy around Shumagin island, once a month, keeps the vessel more or less busy throughout the year.
 But of all his possessions that which MT Grosvold is most proud of is his life-membership in the Seward IgIoo, Pioneers of Alaska. He has always been very active in the Order until recent years but still keeps in close touch with the oldtimers.
