Musteites Aid Bosses
Against Workers

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Aug. 27.-
The boss press announces a 20 per
cent wage cut in the Phoenix and
Holeproof Companies in Milwaukee,
employing hundreds of workers,
mainly women.
This reduction takes place with
the direct aid of the Musteite local
leaders and the national leaders of
the American Federation of Full
Fashioned Hosiery Workers, who
have come to town for the purpose
of helping the bosses carry out the
wage-cut with as little friction as
possible.
The socialist Milwaukee "leader''
fully endorses the work of the
social fascist betrayers whose func-
ton is to help the bosses put the
burden of the crisis on the backs
OF the working class. Under the
slogan of Strike against wage
cuts" the local Trade Union Unity
League will completely expose the
social fascist role of the Musteites
as agents Of the wage-cutting
bosses, and to win the exploited
rank and file to the fighting pro-
gram of the National Textile Work
ers' Union and for solidarity and
support of the striking textile
workers of Bessemer City.

MUSTEITES PRAISED BY
BOSSES FOR WAGE CUTS

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Aug. 81
Since the fake agreement between
the so-called "union" shops and the
Musteites, the capitalist press has
been singing songs of praise almost
daily to these labor takers. They
write of the necessity of wages
coming down, since they claim the
workers in the hosiery mills have
been making "too much" What
are the realities?
The bar-toppers, whose work is
very difficult, requires great skill
and is hard on the eyes, often ruin
ing the eyesight of the girls work
ing in this part of the trade, never
at any time received more than s35
a week.
Now with the new agreement"
in effect, $1S is the average wage
paid. Those who work only part
time are lucky to get Sc or 81 a
week.

Another incident of great signi-
ficance is the mist of mystery sur
rounding the disappearance of Gen.
eral Ho Chen, a very important
lieutenant of Chang Kai-shek and
Markings governor of Human prov
ince. 1t should be remembered that
it was Ho Chen and his troops
that reentered Changsha under the
cover Of imperialist bombardment
after armed workers and peasants
occupied the city for over a week,
and it was also Ho Chen who or
dered the execution of an average
of over $50 militant workers daily
in the last few weeks. Now the
capitalist press reports that Ho
Chen has "fled" and that Eau
thoritative circles believed that Red
influence within the provincial mill
tary was responsible.
Whatever happens to Ho Chen
doesn't concern US so long he doesn't
make his appearance again. What
is of Importance to the workers is
that all these events indicate that
the soldiery of China, unpaid and
starving, is definitely being revolu-
tionized and this is an unusually
important favorable factor in the
Chinese revolution.

PAINTER Tells
OF BETRAYALS

Help Bosses Worsen
Conditions By Cuts

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. Gloon
ditions in the painting trades are
growing worse daily. With the ex-
ception of a few weeks work, most
of the painters lost the entire spring
and summer seasons. Many have
become chronically unemployed and
there is no relief in sight.
The bosses are taking advantage
of this situation to enforce a greater
speed-up, wage-cuts, etc. The me-
chanization of the painting trade
fuse of spray guns, skinning of
work, etc. is further aggravating
conditions. In all their attacks on
the standards of the workers the
bosses have the full support of the
A. F. of L. union officials, who fear
that fight would deplete the union
treasury and deprive them of their
fat salaries.
In the few fake strikes called by
these officials the painters were sold
out, as in the case of the Rau shop
last year, when a fake Settlement"
was rushed through by Blumberg
and Ritchief, the big shots of the
A. F. of L. Conditions in that shop
are now worse than ever.
While the strike of 1926 Melted
us a raise in the scale to $1.12h
per hour, early in 1927 a reduction
of TX cents was put through. The
present leadership of the union was
directly responsible for this retreat
which opened the way to further at
tacks. Only the other day these
takers surrendered to the United
Engineering Co. and Human Bros,
who refused to pay the extra 25
cents an hour which the agreement
requires. They are preparing fur
Their betrayals.
The Trade Union Unity League
calls upon you to meet the sell-out
tactics of the Blumberg, Grass,
Gersh, etc, by organizing solid
inter-local rank and file opposition.
Smash the bosses agents in our
ranks! Demand equalization of
work and free quarterly cards to the
unemployed! Organize an Unem-
ployed Painters Council, under the

League! Join the Building Trades

on Aug. % said. that because divi-

of such reductions to the wages OF

The "Annalist" goes even further,
and for the benefit of the A. F. of
L. building trades workers, they
should have this in their mind when
they read the hokum of Lehman
as given to their pot-bellied A. f.
of L. officials. The "Annalist"
makes a direct propaganda for
wage-cuts especially in the build
ing trades, saying:
I'm some directions, especially
in the building trades, including
all those involved in the erection
of residential buildings, this
(wage-cuts) would be a change
for the economic better. One of
the heaviest burdens on home
building is labor cost out of
all proportions to the incomes of
most of those who would like to
have new or remOdeled houses"
So the building trades workers,
who have none too much yearly in
come, but whose A. +. of L. officials
keep trying to kid them along with
hopes for better days, can get ready
to face a wage slaughter. Not by
following the advice of their sell

of struggle and strike against wage

At the Herbert B. Newton, uphols-

Daily WORKER
Your articles appearing in a re-
cent issue were of great interest to
me, as l am a steel worker In this
modern mechanical age steel plays
an important part in our lives.
In the summer time it is too hot
to work, in the winter time it IS too
cold. Yet, the cold is preferable
to the heat. However, when we need
work the most and can do it with
less physical effect (winter) we
don't get it. And we don't make
enough in the summer months to
tide us over even mild winter.

If there was ever a need for a
strong militant labor organization,
it exists in the metal industries. 1t
employs thousands of thousands of
men and there are not more than 80

mills in the country-they don't
mean anything, either.
At present l am working for the
Youngstown Sheet & Tube Co. The
Eston interests are having a court
battle to prevent the merger of this
company with the Bethlehem Steel
Co.
President Grace of the Bethlehem
receives a salary of $12,500 per
year and last year was paid $780,
900 bonus. Three vice-presidents
receiving nominal salaries each re-
ceived in excess of 100000 in bon
uses. And that the lousy bunch of
bastards that pay the lowest wage
scale in the country.
There are plenty of men and the
bosses here are plenty independent
and hard to get along with. -Four
mills out of % worked three days
last week. Four mills are off this
week.
The company recognizes the need
for extra men and they hire plenty
but do they pay them? He'll, no!
The company forces US to let them
work with us. They get half our
days wages and do half the work.
We get them once, and now some
times twice a week. So, in reality,
we are only working 2 and 21s days
a week.
