When consent was asked for a
night session Representative Stat
ford. Wisconsin, complained about
q night session running until II
o'clock. He recalled that last
time many members were quite
tired around 1890 p. m. Leader
Tilson suggested that at this
period, with Congress in its, last
month, maybe MI. Stafford
wouldn't mind staying up late
Stafford replied:
II will make no objection
now, but give notice if we
have a heavy day next Friday
we will not run beyond 1890"
Stafford may easily terminate
any night session by point OF

TUIJL ORGANIZING|
THE OIL WORKERS
Tidewater Co. Cuts
Wages Viciously

The committee for the organization
of oil workers of the Trade Union
Unity League is carrying forward the
struggle for the organization of the
workers of the Tide Water Oil Co.
against the wage cut that the COM
pany has put through. This wage cut
amounts to 1920 per week.
Following the announcement of the
proposed wage cut the workers voted
in mass meeting overwhelmingly
to strike against the cut, and to
strike on November 2.
Faced with this mass determine
ton of the workers to strike, the
company realized that they needed
some tricks to put over the wage
cut A so-called vote" was taken in
the plant Thursday, October 90, I'M
der the supervision of the company
officials, who we're thus able to con-
troll ballots, boxes, casting of ballots
counting, ETC., to suit themselves. AS
a. result they announced an ''over-
whelming" vote to accept the wage
cut, but did not announce how many
for and how many against! Why?
Because the workers voted solidIy
again against the company and for
strike!
This shows why the bosses keep
the company union-to betray the
interests of the workers and put
across the bosses schemes!
The Committee for the Organiza-
ton of Oil Workers, of 486 Market
ST., Newark, calls on the workers to
organize real organs of struggle
against the attacks of the bosses, to
oganize grievance committees in -

WRIGHT CO. CUTS
PORTERS' WAGES
Aeroplane Workers
Prepare to Fight
(By a Worker Correspondent

PATERSON, N. J.-At the Wright
Aeronautical Company after the
strike of last winter the bosses pro-
missed to restore the 10 per cent wage
cut in few months.
Instead they installed a bonus syS-
tenn in some deartments. Thorough
this move the men get a few cents
per hour bonus while the company is
getting 60 per cent increase in pro-
duction.
The latest move of the company
was to cut the pay of the janitors,
porters and watchmen cents an
hour
The company, however, is not find
ing everything as they expected as
there is thousands of dollars worth
Of work being spoiled. The men
working at reduced wages are not
very particular. The latest batch of
work spoiled was 100 Curtis master
rods, which is worth pretty penny.
We have gotten rid of most of the
scabs and hope to clean the rest of
them out shortly. There are still
some fighters left here awaiting their
opportunity. We hope for better
luck the next time.

MussOlini Orders
Mass Pay Cuts for
Italian Workers

Italian fascism, under the di-
rect supervision of Mussolini, Sat
urday ordered wholesale wage
cuts of around 10 per cent for
all industrial workers and many
farm labOrers. This is not the
first time that Italian fascism, the
land that serves as the fascist
model for the other capitalist
powers, has cut wages. Recently
a IL per cent cut was ordered for
millions. Mussolini says further
wage cuts" will be necessary.
Coupled with the growing wage
cuts in the United States, England
and Germany, it is clear that
there Is a world widel attack on
the workers at precisely the time
when In the Soviet Union wages
are continuously going up.

POLICE AID THUGS
ATTACK STRIKERS
AT H & NJ KNITTING
Police Arrest Strikers
as Gangsters Allowed
to Go Scott. Free

NEW YORK.-A typical example
of the strikebreaking role of the New
York police was shown october 81 at
the H. & M Knitting Mills, 210 Var
ret ST., Brooklyn, where the workers
are on strike under the leadership Of
the Industrial Union against a lock-
out. The boss engaged the notorious
Fisher gang in order to terrorize the
workers. On the first day of the
strike, the gangsters armed with
knives and blackjacks made vicious
attack on the stikers, injuring S.
Perlman and a passerby. Friday,
noon hour as the workers were pick
citing, another assault was made
which resulted in injuring two strik-
ers-Sam Steinhart and Herman
Atotsky. Both workers were taken to
Kings County Hospital. This assault
was carried through in the presence
and with the protection of the police.
Other workers who witnessed the
attack went to the police station and
demanded the arrest of the gangsters.
Instead of arresting tn thugs, the
police placed these workers. as well as
two injured workers under arrest.
Three workers have been released on
81 500 bail.
This open strike-breaking on the
part of the New York police clearly
exposes the fake campaign carried on
by Mayor Walker and Commissioner
Mulrooney against SO called racket
eering and underworld. While car
rying on their publicity the Police
Department of New York City is
Openly collaborating especially
against striking workers.
The needle trades workers as well
as all other militant workers must an
swer these attacks by rallying to the
support of the strikers of the H. &
M. and help rout out the gangsters az
we'll as the entire Tammany gang.
The strike against the Robinhood
Hat Co., IS w. 39th ST., which in Or
der to evade union conditions locked
out the workers and signed an agree
ment with the racketter Amalga-
mated, an organization formed by the
bosses, is entering in its third week.
The attempt of the bosses to break
the strike through an injunction will
have no effect on the strikers, who
are determined to carry on regardless
Of any injunction. The trimmers of
this shop who are members of the
Industrial Union were the first to go
out on strike and we're later joined by
the operators who forced their Off
Gals of Local "a to declare the shop
on strike. The trimmerS as well as
the Industrial Union have been con-
tinuously exerting every effort to get
| the operators of Local "a to form a
united front strike committee so as to
carry on the strike most effectively.
All millinery workers are called
upon to give active assistance in Or
der to help win the strike and thus
deliver a death blow to the racketeer
union.
