N. Y. UPHOLSTERY
ST RIK E ENTERS
ITS 7 HIRD DAY
Nine Shops Already
Out AS Pickets
Mass Solidly

-Four additional upholstery shops
yesterday joined the first five that
walked out Monday in a strike called
by the Furniture and Upholstery
Workers Industrial League, against
the worsening conditions in the trade
and the series of wage cuts instituted
in the shops.
All shops we're picketed and the
strikers manifested a good spirit. The
policy of the league and the pro-
visional strike committee is to spread
the strike, especially in the bigger
shops.
Strike headquarters have been es-
tablished at Ten Eyck and Lorimer
Sts., Brooklyn.
The Women's Council has already
become involved in the upholsterers
strike by serving sandwiches to the
pickets in the morning.
An appeal for assistance on the
picket line from all workers was made
by the provisional strike committees

Ala. Bosses Delay Scottsboro
Action Hoping Workers Forget

CHATTANOOGA Ala, Sept. /. -
In the hope that the stormy protests
of the working class will subside if
the attempt to legally murder the
nine innocent Scottsboro Negro boys
is not pushed for the present, the
courts of the Alabama bosses are
marking time in the Scotsboro care.
1t is understood here that the Su-
preme Court of Alabama will not re-
view before next January the evid-
ence, proving a frame-up filed by the
International Labor Defense in its
appeal against the death sentence of
the eight boys convicted in the orig
inal farcical trial" at Scottsboro
This definite policy of delay is also
being carried out in relation to the
ninth boy. l4-year old Roy Wright,

buffed the attempt ON the part Of
the National Textile Workers Union
to bring about unity among all Of

GREEN SAYS
WAGE CUTS
NOT SO BAD
Tries to Minimize Pay
Cuts AS Bosses
Drive On
Steel Wage Slash Soon
AT. of L. Acts to Keep
Back Strike Struggles

WASHINGTON, Sept. - william
Green, president of the A. F. of L.,
following the Hoover policy is doing
all he can to minimize in the minds
of the workers the virulence of the
wage cut drive now going on. He
deliberately does this in an article
in the September issue of the Amer
lean Federationist" in which he tries
to prove that wage cuts are not so
important and are nowhere near as
big as in 1921 This is in line with
Green's protection of the U. s. Steel
Corporation, which he says will not
cut wages.
That Green is merely following the
policy of attempting to ward off
strikes while wages are slashed whole
sale is shown by the fact that wage
cuts have been going on in nearly
all industries and are now pending
in the basic industries, particularly
steel and railroads. The leading cap

says
Salaries Of officers and office
clerks have been lowered, and other
operating costs cut Gin the steel in
dustry) while there have been ru-
mors of imminent reduction of wages
among the mill workers"
In the Journal of Commerce of Aug.
81 is even more definite in declaring
wage cuts in the steel industry will
come soon. Julius 1. Bogen, financial
editor, writes:
"In well informed quarters it is
indicated now that 1t is only mat
ter of weeks before the steel indus
try will launch determined effort
to get back on profit making basis
through a downward revision of
wages, arranged in such a way as
to work a minimum hardship on
employees"
