HATTERS TO MEET
TO FIGHT PAY CUT
Bosses and Officials
Threaten Cuts

NEW YORK.-The hatters now
getting $3.50 per dozen hats are
threatened by wage-cuts to $2.75
per dozen. And, in order to put
over this wage-cut, the bosses are
lining up their forces.
The national and local officers of
the United Hatters "a. F. of L.) are
preventing a struggle against the
bosses, fearful of the effect that
strike action might have upon the
bosses profits.
The situation is such that only
the united efforts of the hatters to
fight the bosses and their allies, the
Greens, Lawlers and Humphreys,
can win better conditions and hit
back at the wage-cut threats.
The left wing in the local has
called for organization of shop COM
mittees to fight for better condi-
tions, week work, for the 5-day
week, 7-hour day and wage in
creases. A campaign must be waged
to organize the unorganized shops
and equalize the wage scale in all
districts.
The left wing further declared
that only under the leadership of
the Needle Trades Workers Indus
trial Union and its headwear sec
ton can the hatters win in their
fight and improve their conditions.
Hatters and trimmers, who also
are threatened with wage-cuts, are
called to a meeting at Manhattan
Lyceum, on E. Fourth St. Friday,
June 13, at 2 p. m. to take up all
these problems and map out line
of action.
