HATTERS SMASH
PAYCUT PETITION
IN RECORD MEET
Left Wing Leads Big
Fight on Floor

NEW YORK, Nov. 5.-Amidst sus-
tanned cheering, local 8 of the United
Hatters voted down the proposed
wage-cut proposals of the bosses by
189 to "a at tense meeting that
lasted from 3 to 6.45 p. m.
Called upon the petition of the
Mansion Hat shop where the bosses
and officials forced the men to sign
the petition, the membership in over
whelming number smashingly repu-
dated any wage cut acceptance.
From beginning to end, the left wing
members led the offensive. When
time and again the officials sought
weekly to interrupt shouts from the
floor silenced them.
Left Wing Leads Fight
Leading the attack against the
wage-cuts proposals left wing men,
Der pointed out that the union Of
ficials took no stand at the meetings,
but behind the backs of the workers
were giving aid and comfort to the
bosses in hindering struggle against
the wage cuts. Afric, secretary of the
local, try weakly to defend himself
and expressed himself as grieved that
he was personally attacked.
Many of the workers who previous
ly. under pressure of the bosses and
union officials, were half-heartedly
for the cut, came out solidly and
sharply against it when member after
member hammered at it.
The vote indicated that many of
the Manson Hat workers that were
forced into signing the petition, were
against the cut.
Re-instate Worker
Carried on high wave of enthu-
siasm the matters voted by 146 to So
to sustain the decision of the vigil
ance committee of the Shafferman
Hat shop to re-instate a discharged
worker and fine the foreman $50 for

WARN JOBLESS OF
FAKE POLICE AID
Bosses Seek to Round
Up Militants

NEW YORK.-The police registra-
ton Of unemployed in New York
City, conducted by Tammany Hall
as a pretense to helping the jobless,
Is but the beginning Of a campaign
to keep close tab on all sections of
working class population where mill
tant activity is developing as q re-
suit Of the economic crisis, warns the
International Labor Defense. The
International Labor Defense calls
upon the unemployed to refuse the
Tammany police this information,
that will be ured against them.
In New York City alone defending
workers as result Of evictions for
not being able to pay rents and the
clubbing Of evictcd women by the
police when they show any resis-
lance, has become a serious prob
lem to the I. L. D. The unemployed
situation is becoming more tense as
the winter months are approaching.

Boss Vote Promises Become
Mass Wage Cuts, LayOffs
Campaign of Wage Slashing Takes Big Squirt
After Elections; New Ones Every Day;
Organize and Strike!

NEW YORK. - What the workers
can expect from the promises of the
bosses after elections is graphically
shown by a letter written to the De-
troit News signed &C. M" 1t tells of
1000 men laid off in an automobile
plant the owner of which was one of
the men who told Mayor Murphy a
few weeks ago that he would do all
he could to help the unemployed"
Murphy has been getting the workers
to rely on these promises to keep the
workers from fighting for relief.
New Cuts.
Every day new wage cut reports
come in. The end of the elections, as
admitted by many of the leading bos-
ses, is a signal for a drastic continu-
alton of the drive to slash the wages
of millions of workers.
Yesterday the Daily Worker re-
ported a series of these wage cuts
which followed election. Now we
have some more, which show the
trend, and what can be expected by
all workers with the elections over.
Packing Industry.
In Omaha, Neb, the Cudahy pack
ing plant, introduced the 5-day week,
on the basis of 5-days pay, though
the workers are supposed to produce
as much as they did before. This is
direct wage-cut of FROM Is to 20
per cent. Thousands of workers are
effected.
The copper workers have gotten
two or three wage cuts already. But
the bosses do not stop there. The
Quincy and Painesdale Copper mines,
so-called independent, have just
posted notices announcing another 10
per cent wage cut which brings the
copper miners wages to the average
starvation level of SIS per week. At
the same time the bosses are laying
off hundreds of men.
The function of the A. F. of L. is
to keep these facts quiet. The boss
press is not reporting the wage cuts,
Only the Daily Worker points out
this new attack against the entire
workingclass, which proceeds with the
tremendous growth of unemployment.
Workers! Answer.
The workers answer must be de-
cisive, it must be given now! Or
ganize shop committees! Strike
against wage cuts! Join the Trade
Union Unity League, the revolution
airy leader in the struggle against
wage cuts! One wage cut now, means
more to come later on. This is the
experience in every plant where wage
cuts have been made. Smash the boss
drive against wages and living con-
ditions!

Double Sentences
Yesterday ten workers already
serving from ten to 80 days for dis
orderly conduct, arrested on the Eel
green line, were up in Special Ses-
sions for trial under Paragraph 600.
Those whose sentences for disorderly
had expired were still held in Jail,
and all are now held pending trial
Dec. l on the Paragraph 800 charges.
This means not only double punish
ment for the same picketing, but it
also means the added persecution of
being held for long time in Jail
waiting trial.
In addition, seven other Zelgreen
pickets who have not yet been SEN
fenced had their cases set also for
Dec. in Special Sessions, on Para
graph 500 charges. They also will be
held over three weeks in Jail waiting
trial.

CONFERENCE AT
IRVING PLAZA
ON DRESS STRIKE
Delegates Meet Today
to Plan Big Struggle

NEW YORK.-The dress strike
conference meets today at 7 p. m. at
Irving Plaza Hall. Called by the
Needle Trades Workers Industrial
Union. it will have delegates from
shops organized by the union, dele
gates from open shops and shops still
held by the International Ladies
Garment Workers. The Industrial
Union calls on all open shops and
company union shops to send repre-
seutatives to the conference. The
Industrial Union invites all active
and militant workers, members or
not, to attend the conference.
The unemployed dressmakers will
meet at 131 West 18th ST., at 2 p, m.
today to elect their delegates to the
conference. and to work out plans to
mobilize the unemployed for the
great dress strike.
Terrible Speed-Up.
The conference will hear a detailed
report on the situation, particularly
the facts of the terrific and growing
speed-up in the industry. In many
cases in New York, which will be
cited at the conference, the workers
are forced to produce nearly twice as
much per workers as in 1925. The
report will give a general plan of or
ganization of strike preparations, for
discussion and adoption or amend
ment.
The dressmakers working in shops
whose bosses belong to the Affiliated
Association are very much aroused
at the treachery of the I. L. G. w.
chiefs whose secret sell out agree
ment with the Association was ex-
posed few days ago by the Needle
Trades Workers Industrial Union
These workers realize more and more
the fact that the I. L. G. w. bureau
cracy is working against them and
for the bosses. They are indignant
also at the attempt of the officials
to raise dues right in the midst of
this unemployment period. These
workers will rally to the dress strike.

rating system put into effect by Mai
Pratt, which rewards courtesy and pun
ishes discourtesy.
While material improvement has been
noted In the past few years In the atti-
tude of washington's policemen in re-
spect to courtesy, there are still few
who, on arresting reputable business
man for minor violation Of the traffic
regulations, will treat him as a criminal,
and for this reason reiteration Of the
warning by those in control Of the de-
partment is necessary.
1t is this minority in police ranks
which must mend It's ways. There can
be little cooperation between the police
and public If on being stopped for driv-
ing few miles over the speed limit the
motorist finds himself talking to an
trate, snarling and insolent officer who
demands in peremptory tone to see his
permit and inquiries sarcastically as to
the reason for such hurry. It is this
kind of officer who lessons respect for
the law and precipitateS violent argu-
ment and general ill-will between re-
Sponsible and substantial business men
OF the community and the department.
On the contrary, the policeman who
uses the proper courteous method of
procedure in dealing with the public
stimulates respect and cooperation to
the highest degree and is thereby a
much more efficient officer What
chance of argument is there if an officer,
after stopping motorist for a traffic
violation, inquiries calmly for the op-
orators permit, writes down the infor-
nation contained thereon, hands q
ticket to the motorist and thereupon
starts his motor cycle and goes on his
way? No angry words need to be
spoken between the officer and the
motorist, and with this procedure, which,
gratifyingly. is used by the majority
OF local policemen, no chance Is given
the automobile driver to enter into an
argument concerning the merits of his
arrest.
With so many visitors constantly in
washington 1t behooves the local police
force to set high standard of courtesy.
It Is one Of the best advertisements for
any city. A single policeman, in deal
lngs with tourists, can do much harm or
good to the city. according to his at
titude. Gen. Crosby's and Maj Pratt,s
campaign. therefore, has the whole
hearted approval Of every one inter-
ested in the welfare Of the National
Capital.
