NEW WAGE CUT in
|. MILLER SHOP
Should Defy Company
Union; Put Up Fight

NEW YORK.-Another wage cut
knives to the bone the workers in
l. Miller and Son shoe shop. There
was one short time ago, and now
another of 10 per cent. Those in
each department are called together
by the company union chairman at
separate meetings and told that if
they do not accept, the bosses will
close down. They insult the work
ers by telling them they can make
up for the loss by working longer.
One worker, D. Aversa, in spite
of the tactics of the bosses to divide
and freighten the workers, never al
lowing them to hold one large meet
ing together, rose and denounced the
miserable wages and the new cut.
He was fired.
The shoe workers now begin to
see they must mobilize their forces,
join the Independent Shoe Workers
Union, and refuse to recognize the
Boot and Shoe, which is only COM
pany union. The wage cut adds
to the company profits-it is killing
the workers.

NEW YORK.-From Flower Hos
pital, where he is resting after an
operation for acute appendicitis,
word came yesterday that Robert
Minor, Communist candidate in the
Twentieth Congressional District,
Harlem, is better, though it is
doubtful whether he will be well
enough to appear at the Madison
Square Garden meeting on Oct. 81,
where he, together with William 2.
Foster, Communist candidate for
Governor of New York state, and
Israel Amter, Communist candidate
in the Twenty-Third Congressional
District, Bronx, will be greeted upon
their release.
Workers in many shops and fac

along two small barrels of green
apples to feed this huge crowd.
The Cleveland Unemployed Coun-
Gil distributed leaflets denouncing
the trickery and schemes of the
bosses and their tools in the city
council.
When two o'clock came around
only a few hundred applicants had
been taken care of. The city hall
bureaucrats then ordered the hall
cleared and the door locked, but
the famished unemployed workers
defiantly refused to leave, forcing
the takers to keep the hall open til
five. AS already stated the "jobs"
are supposed to be pick and shovel
jobs at sixty cents per hour. One

that the writer saw making appli-

could not possibly handle a pick or

more.

BERLIN, Oct. 13.-At the open
ing of the Reichstag this afternoon
the fascist deputies changed into the
fascist uniform after reaching the
building.
The Communist deputies intro
duced an emergency motion demand
ing ten release of the arrested Com
munist deputy, Maddalena, whose
immunity was violated. Outside of
the Reichstag fascist disturbances
took place. Police arrested 80.
This morning 1000 toolmakers
struck against an attempt to exceed
the arbitration now going on and
to reduce wages Immediately by 80
per cent. Yesterday the trade union
conference unanimously rejected the
arbitration decision providing for a
wage-cut of 6 to 8 per cent.
The misleaders of the metal
workers union are conducting an
unnecessary ballot vote on a de-
cision refusing to make strike the
issue, the ballot thus proving the
intention of sabotage of the fight
against wage-cuts by the reaction
airy union leaders. The central
strike committee of the revolution
airy union opposition is working
counter to the bureaucrats' maneu-
vers. The misleaders will probably
strive to persuade the government
to refrain from making the arbi-
tration decision binding, and will
try to get the decision modified to
per cent wage-cut, hoping to get
the workers to accept it without
strike.
