CUT SCRANTON
R.R. WAGES 10 PIC
TUUL Calls For Fight
Against Wage Cuts

SCRANTON, Pa, Aug. IA
wage cut of 10 per cent was given
the 240 workers on the Lackawanna
& Wyoming Valley R.R. here, also
known as the Laurel Line.
The excuse given by the president
is that profits were dropping and
the first to be considered were the
parasite bond and stock holders.
This is a perfect example of how
widespread the wage cutting cam
paign is becoming, and the fact
that the bosses are transferring the
burden of the crisis on the back of
the workers. The A. F. of L. aids
in all these wage-cutting drives. 1t
is only the Trade Union Unity
League which is mobilizing the
workers under the slogan of Cor
ganize and Strike Against Wage
Cuts" that is leading the fight
against wage slashes.

" AMALGAMATED"
BETRAYS STRIKE
Industrial Union Calls Kulak Work
ers and Canvas Makers to Revolt.

NEW YORK.-The Kulak shop,
where workers forced a strike in
answer to the bosss lockout, con-
tinues to do business with the help
of the Amalgamated company union
officials. Weiner, of the Amalga-
mated, when the strikers show him
the place where Kulak sends his
pants, or the place where his altera-
ton work is sent, just says he can
do nothing.
The Needle Trades Workers In
dustrial Union calls on the Kulak
tailors 10 take charge of their own
strike, and win it. The Amalga-
mated, which tried to prevent a
strike, is betraying it after it starts.
Organize a shop committee" says
the Industrial Union, "and send dele
gates to the shop conference of
mems clothing workers"
Betray Canvas Makers.
Similarly, the canvas makers OF
the Amalgamated have been con-
Quoting "stoppage" since July 30,
The company union officials formu-
lated the demands, and they are not
the workers demands. Tht demand
for standardized prices means piece
work. The fake nature of this stop
page is shown by the fact that the
Amalgamated leaders do nothing
about the continued work in this
trade right in town and out of town.
The S. Winner shop, where prom
ineDt Amalgamated official is a
partner, runs full blast, without
anything being done to stop it.
The Industrial Union urges the
canvas makers to organize their
committees, turn the fake stoppage
into a real strike for minimum
wage of S45 a week, unemployment
insurance, equal pay for equal work
and no discrimination. 1t calls on all
tailors to refuse to put the canvas
now provided into coats, to organize
and join forces with the canvas
makers.

STEERS OFF
FOR BAYLOR
Coaches Fight Against
Possibility Of a
Let-Down

AUSTIN. Nov. Fighting any
possibility Of a let down that would
leave them at the mercy of an in
spired Baylor team next week. the
Texas Longhorns began to taper
off for one Of their frequent CRU
cial' games Of the season, with the
hope Of enhancing their chances
a. a conference title running high.
ii the Longhorns can 60 TO Baylor
and beat out the veteran Bear club
before an enthusiastic crowd of
home-comers. they will stand a good
chance TO beat the Horned Frogs
out for the conference title. but if
they lose or tie. the Orange will
have 70 wait another year for a
Chance at the flag.
Speculation was rife IS to whether
Iittlefield would send his Steers
on the field against Baylor with the
same kind of defense that stopped
the Mustangs completely. or whether
cr not ne would gc back 10 the old
defense that has hitherto met with
more than average success. An
other conjecture. and perhaps a more
plausible one. was that the Ling
horns were learning something en-
tirelv new in those heated sessions
behind barred gates this week. and
that the Bears would find something
designed TO stop their powerful run
ming attack and their aerials at the
same time
Last week the Mustangs found a
defense that was constantly chang
ing. and where enc moment six men
we're IN the line. four men would be
there the next. The Pony running
plays looked cumbersome and the
aerials would not work at all, I'M
til the Texas first string was re-
moved from the game.

will arrive in Waco Friday night.
