IRISH RAILWAY
WORKERS STRIKE
Misleaders Try to Split
Movement

DUBLIN. Dec. 11.-RailWay work
ers throughout Northern Ireland are
expected TO strike at midnight tonight
against the TO- per cent wage cut
authorized by the Railway Wage
Board, to take effect Dec. 10.
Officials of the National Railway
mems Union have done all in Their
power to prevent the strike, but the
sentiment Of numerous rank and file
meetings, held during the past few
weeks, has been so Overwhelmingly
in favor of strike action, that the
officials have been compelled to call
the walkout. Their tactics now, how
ever, is to split the stduggle by con-
filming it to Northern Ireland; the
Irish Free State government Is ac-
lively supporting this strikebreaking
tactic.
The revolutionary opposition in the
union is raising the slogan of united
front of railway workers throughout
all of Ireland, both organized and
unorganized, for immediate strike and
is calling for the election of rank
and file committees in the shops and
terminals.

ROOSEVELT IN

WorkersUrged to Build

NEW YORK. - President elect
Roosevelt conferred Saturday, Dec.
IL, at his Hyde Park home with rep
resentatives Of three Glass railroads
and the head of the American Car
Foundry Co., one of the chief con-
Germs manufacturing railway equip
ment on the question of railworkers
wages
Discuss Wage Reductions
The demand for an extension OF
the present 10 per cent cut, expiring
next February, and further reduc-
ton of at least 10 per cent, were the
major concrete issues discussed by
Roosevelt.
The question of further credits
Qoans) to railway companies from
the Reconstruction Finance Company
was also taken up.
Maintain Secrecy
Secrecy surrounded. the details OF
the discussion and any conclusions
reached, Presidents Roosevelt
stating to newspapermen that INC
announcement would be made after
the conference.
Coolidge Committee Get Demands
! The National Transportation Com
mittee, headed by Calvin Coolidge,
and of which Alfred E. Smith and
Bernard Baruch are members giving
it an outstanding two-party COM
position) has given statement to
the press which declares: IAN i'm
portant section of the thesis of the
railroads had to do with wages. The
railroads represented vigorously their
need of further wage reductions"
Wall Street Press Goes Into Action
The Wall Street press is winging
rapidly into action in the propaganda
campaign for rail wage reductions.
The New York Herald Tribune for
Sunday, Dec. II, carries column
article which declares that conditions
seem ito call emphaticaIly for re-
duction in railroad wages"
Prepare Sweeping Cut
The accommodating evidence that the
railroads, banks and big insurance
companies have united for additional
sweeping cut of rail wages is ines
capable. The tactics of the railway
union officials in discouraging all
rank and file preparation for strike
struggle against the wage cut pro-
gram and placing confidence in
Roosevelt therefore appears all the
more criminal.
The Unity Committee Program
The need for the rail workers rally
ing to the demand of the Railway
Brotherhoods Unity Committee for
referendum vote on the wage cut
proposals. and all proposed changes
in working rules-another major
point of attack upon the living stand
ards of the union memberships
becoming clearer every day.
The setting up of active united
front committees ire all terminals
and shops, composed of members of
all railway unions and the morgan
lied workers, is vital and immediate
task.

SOP JOBLESS AID
BILL IN SENATE
Costigan-La Toilette
Fake Measure

WASHINGTON, Dec, 1i-SenatorS
Costigan, democrat, of Colorado, and
LaF'ollette, fake progressive repub-
lican, of Wisconsin, have introduced
a bill to take the administration of
federal unemployment relief away
from the Reconstruction Finance
Corporation and insistead to set up a
federal board of members, with an
appropriation of $500,000,000.
The bill provides that only 40 per
cent shall be distributed to the states
for relief, while the rest shall remain
as a reserve fund. This would give
only $2o0,000,00o, and even aSsum-
ing that every cent of this is spent
in actual relief, with fully 100000
unemployed workers and their de-
pendents, this would give only about
$3.50 to each Of these starving mil
lions. 1t is clear that abe Costigan-
LaFoliette bill would iaaake no es-
sential change in present conditions
The bill is evidently designed to
smash the mass struggle of the IN
employed whose 5000 representatives
demanded in Washington Tuesday,
not the setting up of new bureau
cratic machinery to hand out crumbs,
but the immediate granting of $50
winter relief to every jobless worker
and the enactment of federal I'M
employment insurance.

BRONX, N. "a mass meeting
of laundry workers will be held
Thursday, Dec. Is. at the Union Hall,
260 z. 18Th ST., to discuss the gen.

strike of the 10 Negro and white

Agency on Lenox Ave, corner Of 1920

strikers Went to the agency and
stopped that.
The bosses are trying TO induce the
customers who were dealing with the
Fairway to continue to give them
the trade for lower prices. The ru-
NOR is that in order to break the
strike the association Of the bosses
has permitted them to take wash at
half price. 1--WE therefore appeal TO
all working class women not be

for one purpose, to break the strike
