200 GIRLS WIN
STRIKE ON WAGE
CUT IN B'KLYN
Many Join Industrial
Needle Union

NEW YORK.--A strike of 200 girls
of the Diana Mills, underwear manu-
facturers was won under the leader
ship of the youth section of the
Needle Trades Workers Industrial
Union.
When the bosses handed the girls,
most of whom are under 81, wage
cut of IS to SO per cent, the workers
went out on strike. They elected
a rank and file strike committee,
conducted militant picketing, and won
their strike. The demands finally
agreed to by the boss were: with
drawal Of the wage cut; no discharge:
recognition Of the shop committee;
no fines (the workers used to be fined
$1.00 for coming late and for da-
mages); no standard of production,
that is, no speed up. Over 100 girls
Joined the union.
When the girls returned To the
shop the boss once more made an
effort to demoralize the ranks of
the strikers by sending down two Of
the active strikers. He was immedi-
ately informed that the discharged
girls had the backing of all the
workers and that the strike would
be declared again. The girls were
reinstated and are back at work.
The workers have learned valu-
able lesson In this strike. Despite
the short duration of the strike, the

bosses put through the wage cut
The militancy of the girls defeated
both the boss and the company
union agents. The girls returned to
the shop inspired and ready not only
to make their shop real organized
shop but to assist in organizing the
other girls in the neighborhood.

PATERSON, N. J.. July 3O.-A
monster mass meeting was held here
tonight at 7 p. m. at Cross and FL
lison SITS, on private lot near Turn
Hall. At the time the Daily Work
er went to press the meeting was
still on. Rudolph Katz, leader of the

March 9Th unemployed delegation,
and Ben Gold, National Secretary of
the Needle Trades Workers Indus
trial Union, were scheduled to speak.
The statement of the commission
manufacturers in this mornings
press, the secret meeting of the
Mayors Cancellation Board and Mr..
Holderman's statement that this
strike will not last more than one
week, are all indications that the
sell-out is prepared by the bosses
and the A. F. of L. leaders. The
United Front General Strike Com
nfittee states in the name of thou
the workers will prevent the sell-out
planned by the labor takers, that
there is only one power that can and
will make settlements and that is
the strikers themselves and their
representatives, the General Strike
Committee. The wage scale and
complete set of demands as dis
cussed and adopted by the rank and
file strikers will be presented to the
manufacturers within a very short
time. The General Strike Commit
tee refuses to recognize and will re-
pudiate any settlement proposals
that are not arrived at directly be-
tween the strikers themselves and
the manufacturers.
The mass meeting repudiated the
strikebreaking maneuvers of the
strikebreaking A. F. of L. leaders,

ers, will result in larger and more
militant picket lines until complete
victory is won and the demands OF
the strikers granted by the bosses.

.ARNO IS EXPECTED
|. TO SUE WIFE TODAY
Cross-BiII May Be Filed, and
illegal Steps" by Mrs.
Vanderbilt Planned.

By the Associated Press.
RENO, New, June 22.-Peter Arno,
New York cartoonist, who has figured
in the Cornelius Vanderbilt, jr, di-
vorce case. was expected to hold the
center of the stage today while further
legal action on the. part of the VAN
derbiltS is held in abeyance.
Attorneys said Arno, having COM
pleted the six weeks residence required
by law, probably would file suit for
divorce from Lois Long Arno, a writer.
That Mrs. Arno will contest the
action brought by her husband is ex-
pected, 1t having been reliably reported
that she will file a crosS-complaint
and that Arno will consent that the
decree be granted to her. Mrs. Arno
would not be required to be present
in court.
: William Woodburn, counsel for Mrs.
Vanderbilt, has announced that legal
steps" will be taken tomorrow to COM
bat the divorce ection begun by her
husband on grounds of extreme cruelty
While he would not say just what
action was contemplated, the usual
procedure is to file a cross complaint
and ask for a bill of particulars.
Vanderbilt filed suit for divorce last
Friday, after he and Mrs. Vanderbilt
had quarreled over attentions he
charged Arno was paying her.
Vanderbilt himself said that he had
driven Arno from his house early Mon
day and that he would have shot the
cartoonist had he not realized the
seriousness of the situation.
