EndicottJohnson Shoe Company Cuts Wages Breaks Its
Promises; Lies About Profits; Retreats When Fought
Johnson Asks Workers
to Take 20 P. c.. Cut
Like Gentlemen"

BINGHAMPTON, N. Y, Nov. H.
The Endicott- Johnson Shoe Co. is
cutting wages right and left, to keep
its profits high, but is trying at the
same time to kid the workers along
with the idea, first, that it is against
wage cuts and secondly. that it is not
making money. The statements OF
the officials of the company, not in
tended for the workers themselves,
show that they are lying to the men
who make the shoes-and take the
wage cuts.
This company, one of the biggest
in the world, employs about 1900
shoe workers in an area 25 miles
square, taking in Binghampton, john
son City, Endicott and owego, N. Y.

ment in the local papers Nov. try

T
johnson himself says in big type that
the shop bulletin is only political
document" and that What changes
have been made in our wage scales
will be because we are forced by COM
petition. 4. 1t would be pleasant
job for your management to keep the
high scales and all privileges in effect
and force if it we're humanity possible
But the result would be we would be
retired from business in very little
while ~ etc.
The facts are that the company
is determined to make good profit
at the expense of the workers. AS
this same johnson said in a state
ment to the Binghampton Press, Oct.
20 (only a few days before his pow
erty plea of Nov. A. II have had some
inquiries from anxious stockholders
as to the condition of the company
and ability to earn and pay dividends
during this present business depres-
sion and hard shedding.
"As the statement of the COM
pany clearly shows there is sur
plus of several millions of dollars
available for dividends. We are
earning fair profit considering
the whole situation"
They Gouge the Workers!
That is the actual situation Not
one penny for the workers out of
the millions of surplus profits. in
stead, cut their wages and tell them
the company is too poor to pay more
by all means keep the profits roll

ing in, no matter how many wage
cuts it needs or how many workers
starve! That is Johson's policy
While conducting this merciless
and treacherous and lying campaign
against the workers. johnson poses
in other parts of the country as being
against wage cuts. He sent tele-
gram published last July in Printers
Ink" a New York monthly, saying:
Labor should not pay for the bust
ness depression, low wages make the
depression worse. and Take it from
the income of those who have it,"
etc.
When the shop bulletin exposed
this hypocrisy and lying, johnson in
his answer tries to get around the
contradiction by saying, 81 personally
have been advocating maintenance OF
wages" etc, and claiming that his
own company overrules him.
Fighting Stops Cut.
The leaflet which reused johnson
to the full page newspaper reply
pointed out that women workers in
the tannery in Endicott got a cut OF
10 per cent, and this was followed by
= 20 per cent wage cut in other fac
tories. In Johnson City the 20 per
cent cut vas preceded by nice faith
erly talk by Johnson, urging ~
workers to be quiet. and take it / A.
gentlemen" However, in the last.
and finishing room, of the New Scot,
factory, the workers didn't take it
like gentlemen" they, fought like men,
and as result George F. Johnson
suffered complete defeat.
This is the action that wins.
