The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1931-09-03

Communist Party for governor of
New Jersey declared that he, in the
name Of the Communist Party,
would participate in the test of the
right of the workers of Paterson to
hold open air meeting in the city.
Sam Appel, one Of the most mill
tant strikers who has been beaten
up many times by the police for his
nii1itancy, told the workers at the
meetings how the NTWU was check
ing up on every shop settled by 1t
to see that the terms of the settle
ment were being maintained. This
is done by carefully questioning the
workers and the bosses. The UTW
had started rurnors that the settle
ment which the NTWU had made in
the Perfect silk Co. was fake set
Element. The NTWU in the course
of it's regular check up examined
every pay check on pay day. Every
check and pay-slip was strictly ex-
amined and the prices were found
to be according to the settlement
terms. 1t was found that a weaver
who had worked 38 hours during the
week had pay check of $35. In the
Newtex, which was hard shop to
settle because of the stubborn resist
ance Of the boss, the winder who be-
fore the strike was making only $12
a week is now receiving the full IN
ion scale of $40. This winder was
present at the meeting and verified
the statement.
Expose UTW Fake Settlement.
At the mass meeting this morning,
two workers from the Mayer Shop
Of IA Cortland st., told Of the fake
settlement the AFL had negotiated
with the boss. There are 16 weav-
ers in the shop in two shifts. These
workers who we're both members of
the NTWU went into the shop on the
bosses promise that the AFL would
settle on full prices. After working
one and half days they found they
we're getting only az cents for 38
picks on artificial, which represen-
ted half cent increase whereas the
union price is 4 ga cents. They
went on strike again and came to the
N'TWU to get the cooperation of the
only union which would get set
Element and have it kept.
A special membership meeting of
the NTWU is being held Thursday
night for the purpose of mobilizing
for the Friday unity conference. The
new executive will be elected at this
meeting which will be held at the
Turn Hall at p. m.
Committees to Collect Relief.
In order to broaden the collection
for relief the Workers International
Relief is sending number of COM
mittees Of strikers to workers organ
isations In Passaic, Plainfield, Sum-
NIT, and Newark. The WIR asks
that all organizations which receive
these committees should give them
the fullest cooperation so that the
funds which are so vital to the con-
tinuation Of the strike are obtained.
Two branches Of the international
Workers Order have pledged sub
stantial sums from their treasures
and will mobilize their membership
for the collection of relief. The LODI
ger Benevolent Young Mems Asso-
citation has pledged to contribute
$25 and to mobilize for the textile
relief campaign Of the WIR. The
Workers International Relief urges
all workers organizations throughout
the country to speed immediat aid
to the Paterson strikers who are now
in the seventh week of their strike.
The necessity of the relief can be
seen from tn fact that the city au-
thorities are cutting Off relief from
militant workers. An unemployed
worker had been receiving miser-
able three dollars week from the
municipal authorities for maintaining
his family of nine. His daughter was
arrested on the picket line and the
authorities stopped the three dollars
for this family Of nine.
On the opening of school on Sept.
demonstration will be held before
the Board of Education to demand
free food and clothing for children of
strikers and unemployed workers. In
preparation for this demonstration
the Young Textile Pioneers are ar
