WAGE CUTS FOR
SHOE WORKERS
Struggle Nears; Warn
of Fake Unions

The Independent Shoe Workers
Union, in its present drive to or
ganize the unorganized majority in
this industry, reports that it finds
conditions in the shops going from
bad to worse. Wage-cuts ranging
from 10 to 40 per cent and hours
of labor increased to as high as 10
per week make life hard for the
worker and make many workers
jobless.
The union considers that these
conditions will surely lead to bitter
struggles in the near future, Yes
terday, through C. Lippa of the l.
S. W. u, a statement was issued,
warning the unorganized of the
treacherous role they can expect of
the two fake unions in the field,
the Boot and Shoe Workers and the
Shoe Workers Protective. Lippa
says:
Open Strike Breaking.
Here is single instance of how
the workers are harnessed into the
Boot and Shoe, which is nothing but
a pure and simple strike breaking
agency of the bosses. Very recently
the lasting department workers of
the Morsam Shoe Co. went on strike
because they could no longer endure
the conditions in the shop. They
called upon the rest of the crew to
join them, but these hesitated some
what, and they decided to call a
shop meeting.
However, before any united ac-
ton could be taken the bosses called
in the Boot and Shoe agents to fur
nish scabs, in case the workers re-
fused to join the Boot and Shoe, and
thus to prevent them from joining
the Independent Shoe Workers
Union.
every worker was approached
by the boss and the organizer of the
Boot and Shoe and told to sign the
application of the scab union, or to
get the hell out of the shop.
"The workers, taken by surprise,
lost their heads and signed the APP
plications, fearing the loss of their
jobs.
Workers Hate 1t.
"This yellow strike-breaking
agency that goes under the name
Of the Boot and Shoe is known by
all the workers in the country. 1t

the record of this Hoover in

in the foreground.
While Hoover, according to
the statement given out by
Fish, told no more secrets" about
the Communists than may be learned
by anyone who reads the Daily
Worker, which is also to be "inves-
tigated," Fish talked-well, like
Fish, and made it appeal as terribly
important" Hoover has great
ability according to Fish, since he
made the remarkable revelation"
that the Communist Party was an
affiliated section of the Communist
International.
The liability" of Hoover was shown

a sub-inspector of police had been

The peasants, according to the
report carrying firearms, met the

were fired on each side. The re-

were defeated or not, nor how many
were killed.

Police Stoned.

BOMBAY, India, June 1.-THE
head constable at the Haroge Kath-
lal outpost was hit on the head by
a rock thrown by peasants here, and
other officers injured in a fight
during which police fired twice into
the crowd. The number of villagers
killed is suppressed, also the out
come of the struggle.
Communal rioting" is reported
from the Accra district.
This means fighting between Mo-
hammedans and Hindus. Such rel
igious wars are frequently provoked
by British agents to keep the In
dams divided. Often too, class con-
flicts, and fights between workers
or peasants and the police or the
scabs are represented as "Commun-
al strife" in British dispatches.
Indian Press Rejects Report.
The entire Indian press, mainly
petty bourgeois and Indian business
mems organs, with the exception of
the few English language papers
which speak unofficially for the
government, rejects with scorn the
findings of the Simon Commission,
of which the first volume was
printed in London yesterday. Even
these bourgeois organs have to re-
pudiate it, though some of them
worked with the commission while
in India. Their headlines run: "The
Simon Commission Insults india"
India Not a Nation" Dominion
Status in The Dim And Distant
Future" British Domination To
Continue"
1t is to be remembered, however,
that these papers take this attitude
because of the enormous strength
ening of resistance to British i'm
perialism lately, with the workers
forcing to the lead of the move
ment. The papers feel they must
not expose their treason to the anti
imperialist movement too openly.

original Of the surplice blouse
with the lovely frill collar
about the neck and closing. AS
you know, this clever designer
has made a big success In
Paris just the past year. The
appearance of tiny tucking on
the collar is deceptive, for the
detail is really stitching with
out any thread, which merely
holds the fabric IN q neat pat
tern. The closing is important,
and the frill which is distinctly
feminine and soft in feeling.
This blouse also has a normal
or hip-top waistline for the new
suits. It is in white or pastel
flat crepe. ....
The typical tailored suit
blouse is sketc ch d, short
Sleeved, with panel front which
is fashionably important, and
simple in every detail. This
type is suggestive of the shirt
waist blouse which usually has
a higher neckline, is tailored in
a feminine manner, and is
reminiscent Of the Gibson girl.
This blouse is of dusty blue
flat crepe, but is equally good
in white or other pastels.
Next we have an overblouse,
new in every point. It will be
worn by the woman who does
not like tuck-ins, or who con-
Siders them hard to wear.
It Is feminine, and formal,
in dusty pastels, and has a
decidedly attractive feature in
the adjuStible neckline and hip
line that makes it easy to fit
to your figure, or adaptible to
many types of figures. Notice
that the waistline is defined
by a fitted effect.
These blouSes are as intricate
in cut and detail as the new
dresses. For that reason they
will harac niZe nicely with the
new suits that are in the same
spirit, and will be successful
+hroughor, the season. Chosen
at random from the many new
ones that are arriving in Wash
ington daily. they are good ar
gumentS for the belief that it
will be a blouse season.

Since the girl has chosen this
