DRIVE DEFENSE WITNESSES FROM TRIAL OF y WORKERS
ELECTRICIANS
LOCKED OUT TO
CUT THE WAGES
Should Elect Strike
Committee; Mass
Picket the Jobs n

NEW YORK-Union electricians
are locked out in New York. The
employers demand reduction of
wages from the 1920 scale. They
demand the wages be cut to SO a day
for old work and to $12 for new work,
There are 5000 members of local
No. 8 of the International Brother
hood of Electrical Workers (A.FL)
here, though only part we're working
before the lockout, which started
yesterday.
The electricians voted down the
two scale system and all reductions
unanimously at the last meeting.
They want to struggle militantly
against the wage cut.
The officials of Local 3, however,
are doing nothing to make it real
struggle. The officials are passively
submitting to the lockout in order to
force upon the men a demoralized
retreat.
The situation, however, is by no
manner of means hopeless, if the
electrical workers themselves take it
in hand, by turning this lockout into
real strike to save the $500 wage
scale.
Elect Strike Committees.
There should be elected at once
rank and file strike committees, at
each job, with central city strike
committee to lead the struggle. The
officials should be compelled to de-
clare strike until the bosses with
draw their demands for the wage
cut. There should be active mass
picketing at all jobs.
No Secret Negotiations!
The membership of the union
should be especially careful not to
let the officials of the union carry
on negotiations with the bosses with
out the presence of the city strike
committee, and no agreements should
be signed without being ratified by
the membership. Otherwise, the Off
cial will probably sign up for $12
OF lower wage scale, and then sit
back while the employers pay what
ever still lower wages they want to.
The following demands are vital,
and should be written into the con-
tract:
Retain the present wage scale Of
$500 a day!
Elect job committees to safeguard
the wage scale!

PLAN STRIKE IN
DRESS INDUSTRY
NTWIU Meet Calls for
Activity in Shops .

Concentration on the organization
of the dress trade for early struggle
against unbearable conditions was
the keynote of the proposals of Sum
days and yesterdays sessions of the
national convention of the Needle
Trades Workers Industrial Union,
held in New Star Casino, l0Tth st.
and Park Ave. The convention
opened Friday night.
The lively discussion revealed that
most of the delegates we're united in
the opinion that a mass struggle
against the wretched conditions fois-
TED on the workers by the fake strikes
and naneuvers of the treacherous
Dubinsky, HICKMAN and Lovestone
cliques must be launched at the be-
ginning of the next season. The sue
cessful shop strikes in the dress trade
that have already been carried
through by the Industrial Union
must be regarded as only begin
ming, the delegates felt.
Trade Conferences.
Sunday evening and all Of yester-
day we're occupied with trade con-
ferences and meetings of the con-
vention committees. At these con-
ferences plans were worked out for
immediate activity in every trade.
The Credentials Committee re-
ported through its chairman, Men
cher, that 270 delegates are present
at TIE convention. OF these 2O5 are
from New York; % from Philadel-
phia; IA from Boston; nine from
Chicago; one from CALIFORNIA; six
from South River, N. ]. and a num-
Der from scattered places.
Stachel Speaks for the T.U.UL.
Jack Stachel, assistant national
secretary Of the Trade Union Unity
League, greeted the convention Sum
day morning in the name Of the T.
U. U. L. to which the Industrial IN
ion ia affiliated. Stachel declared
that one of the main achievements
of the union was the successful fur
strike it conducted, which blasted
during an economic crisis. Stachel
the theory that strikes cannot be won
ridiculed leaflet spread at the con-
vention by Trotskyites and declared
that the difference between the Trots-
kyites and the Lovestoneites is that
the latter demand that the workers
return to the traitorous International
Ladies Garment Workers one at a
time, while the Trotskyites demand
that they do it all together.
Stachel showed that the problems
which face the union now can only
be solved by basing all union work
on the shop The organizational
weakness of the Industrial Union and
of the opposition groups in the re-
dictionary unions, he declared, is due
to the fact that their work is not
carried on in the shop on the basis
of the immediate needs of the work.
ers. Stachel called for the estab-
lishment of real inner union democ-
racy and the drawing in of the
broadest rank and file masses into
the work of the union.
Emphasize Shop Work.
In the discussions Sunday after
noon many delegates participated
nearly all emphasizing the need Of
basing all activity in the shop and
calling for immediate work in this
direction.
Today's sessions will be held ir
Irving Plaza, 18th st. and Irving Pl.
starting at 10 am.

.ARRAIGN SOUTH
RIVER STRIKERS
IA Charges on Relief
Chairman; High Bail

NEW YORK.-The 81 workers who
were arrested because of their act
ivities in the South River strike plead
cd not guilty Friday morning in
Quarter Sessions court, New Bruins
wick, before Judge Adrian Lyon.
Although bail was put up for all
the workers the officials refused to
release s of them. Victor Ploskon
one Of the 6 still being held was re-
Gently railroaded to years in the
State Prison His father Stanley and
his brother Victor were two of the
arrested workers. The Ploskon fam
lily are at present threatened with
evic Jon.
The bail for the arrested workers
was unusually high, ranging in most
cases from $4,000 to $4,000 and 1872
charges were trumped up against the
defendants.
ID Charges On Relief Chairman
Al Truskowski, who was the chair
man Of the w. I. R. relief COMMITTEES
which distributed food during the
strike and after, has Ii charges
against him The courts are deter
mined to give him maximum sent
ence and have refused to release him
on bail.
Some of the charges against Al
Truskowski are obstructing an Off
Ger, melting to riot, unlawful assem-
bly,, malicious mischief and assault
and battery.

factory here in support of the
strikers.
TRENTON. N. j.. Oct. l7.-In the
pouring rain the workers OF the Recall
Doll Company who went on strike
for so per cent increase in wages
carried through a mass picket DEM
onstration in front of the factory.
Workers from all three shifts were
on the picket line.
Over half of the 800 workers, which
is the total number employed in the
shOpa are out on strike and more are
Joining the fight which is led by the
Trade Union Unity League. Many of
the workers were forcibly locked in
the shop by the employers in an at
tempt to keep them from joining the
strike.
The local press has already
launched into campaign of lies and
ISLANDERS in an attempt to confuse
the workers and demoralize the
strike. Although the local newspap-
ers have announced that the Mayors
Committee and the Chamber of Com
merce will take a hand in settling
the strike, the workers understand
that this is move of the bosses to
defeat them.
The spirit of the strike is very
militant. Fearing the spread of the
strike, the police, at the behest of
the bosses arrested three strikers on
the picket line.
Leading the strike is a rank and
file strike committee which was
elected by the strikers. Workers in
Trenton in other industries have
shown their sympathy with the Regal
workers and are supporting their
good fight.
The Regal Doll Company operates
about four months a year, from Sep
TENDER to January. 1t employs over
700 workers, mostly youth, about Sc
per cent of whom are women and
girls. The conditions in the shop are
among the worst of any factory ir
the state. Girls work Sc hours q
week for as little as $3.50 in wages
The average wage Of the girls who
are week workers, the fastest in the
shop, is s. for 56-hour week. Mar.
ried men with families to support
slave go to 70 hours a week for s.
and $40, about is cents an hour.
