LAWRENCE, Mass, Nov. S.-The
United Front program has triumphed
for the time being over the balloting
plan to divide the workers and break
the strike of $4,000 textile workers
against a ten per cent wage cut.
Saturday forenoon, the Citizens Com
mittee and all it's subcommittee
which have been canvassing senti-
ment in union locals, clubs, fraternal
orders, churches, and among the
business men, met and indefinitely
postponed the fake ballot for which
enormous preparations have been
made during the last week. They
were expected to announce at this
meeting the date on which the
Strikebreaking ballot would have been
taken, but their own reports show
that the militant, never beaten work
ers of Lawrence are determined to
win this strike, and the ballot would
be a joke, without enough going to
the polls to make it possible to fake
any majority for a return to work

NEW YORK. - Three American
Federation of Labor locals, expressing
the sentiment of the majority of their

ment. The resolution was adopted
unanimously.
Painters Demand Relief.
The members of Painters Local 499
went on record as sharply scoring the
A. F. of L. convention fight against
giving unemployed workers insurance
at the cost of the employers and
their state. A committee was elected
to work out proposals for unemploy-
ment insurance and immediate relief.
The committee was charged with
bringing in definite measures to the
next meeting.
Another painters local, 9O5, raised
the question of immediate relief for
the unemployed, and distribution OF
Jobs under the control of the rank
and file.
A committee of five was elected to
take up the proposals: An unemploy-
ment fund to be established on the
basis Of a cut in the wages of Off
Gals, to that of the average wage of
workers, reduced union expenses. The
unemployed union members are to
be exempt from dues and assess
ments payments.
Action on the above proposals will
be adopted at the next meeting of
the local.
