FIGHT STARTING
OVER CONDITIONS
Philadelphia |, L. A.
Elects Own Committee

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Oct. 3. -
Polly" Baker, placed over the In
ternational Longshoremen's Associa-
ton local here by President RYAN of
the lila, called meeting Friday,
The local president announced that
"a committee has been appointed to
negotiate with the companies on
working conditions in this port" :,
"Who appointed it?" demanded a
longshoreman from the floor, and in
stead of answering, the chairman adj
journed the meeting.
The rank and file longshoremen
went out, but returned in few min
utes and compelled the officials to
call another meeting, where they
threw out the appointed committee
and elected one from their own num-
Der.
Correct Procedure.
These Iongshoremen are thus car
rying out the policy of the elected
Rank and File Committee, which
fights against Ryan's wage cut and
has a list of demands on conditions,
voted for by rank and file meetings,
The demands include: or more men
in hold and on the dock, 4 men on
steel lighters, four men on cars for
lumber, smaller LOADS, eight hour day,
full union wages for car gangs, no
discrimination.
Dislike Wage Cut
The situation is very hot in Phi
ladelphia, the men being intensely
dissatisfied with the wage cut of II
per cent negotiated by Ryan and
the companies. The struggle may
break out over the working condi-
lions. Already one firm, the Jarca
Stevedoring Co. has tried to cut
wages and has been stopped. Jarca
yielded, but is still trying to evade
the payment of full wages.
The chief job of the Rank and
File Committee is to weld unity be-
tween the Negro and white long
shoremen. There are about 1000 Of
each in the port of Philadelphia.

MASS MEETING
IS CALLED THIS
NOON ON CAMPUS
Map Plans to Smash
Terrorization of the
Foreign Students o


NEW YORK.--A mass meeting has
been called for this noon by the
students of Columbia University to
protest against the ruling of Secre-
tary of Labor Doak prohibiting for
eign students from getting jobs. The
mass meeting will be held on the
campus and will be addressed by a
representative of the National Stu
dents League,
This meeting will lay plans for a
student strike at Columbia to force
Doak to withdraw this ruling, which,
as Donald Henderson, executive sec
rotary of the NSL, pointed out in
Yesterdays Columbia Spectator, is a
piece of vicious class legislation
aimed at letting loose a reign Of
deportation of foreign students"
Doak pretends to make this ruling
to aid the 100000 unemployed, but
that this is only fake gesture is
clearly shown by the recent state
ment of Ralph Easily, of the National
Civic Federation, who called on Doak
i, to send stool pigeons into the college
to spy on the radical activities Of
the foreign students.
Doak is thus trying to terrorize the
growing nnilitancy of the students in
the same way as he is pushing his
deportation terror drive against mil
liant workers.
Garment workers. ignidje
NEW YORK-The minority group
of the organization committee of Lo-
cal 30 of the International Ladies
Garment Workers Union in call
today issued to all members of the
local to elect a strike committee con-
sisting of representatives of the union
shops, open shops and unemployed
to mobilize the workers for a real
strike on a rank and file basis.
The statement Of the minority
group said:
81. We proposed and demanded
that women dressnakers must be in
cludeo in the organization drive and
strike, because they are part of our
union and a vast majority in the
trade. Mr.. Greenberg was opposed to
this until the membership overruled
him.
-. We proposed that the Organ
ization Committee should have some
thing to say about the leaflets to be
issued to the workers. Greenberg
ignored us.
%. We proposed that shop meet
ings be called Of union and open
shops so as to mobilize these work
erS and drew them into the strike
preparations. This was also rejected.
a. We demanded that the strike
committee be composed on the basis
of shop representatives elected by the
workers and not of hand picked ap-
pointees by Mr.. Greenberg and his
Executive Ecard so that the workers
and not the officials should be in
control of the strike. This most i'm
pcreant demand was rejected by the
administration without your knowl-
edge Or consent.
BY these actions we are convinced
thai the administration is not work
ing IN the direction of preparing a
reel strike for better conditions.
LEI us mobilize our ranks for a
real strike under rank and file lead
ership Let us together fight for the
rccc ,ablishment of union conditions,
the 40-hcur fice-day week, for a 20
per- cent increase for the workers in
tbs unorganized dress shops, for up-
employment insurance for the unem-
Tloy5d workers

as illustrated by the recent wage cuts
in the Needle Trades industry and of
the Longshoremen," the cali states.
Elect Delegates.
The call concludes with:
"All these facts point to the need
Of working class unity, the need for a
fighting united front against the cap
italist class for jobs and bread. Let
US make the October 10th Conference
a powerful demonstration of the
growing unity Of the working class
and a challenge to the bosses pro-
gram of hunger and war Elect your

mist Party candidates and for the

wages from IS cents per hour to rs
cents on straiaht time and from s1.20
per hour to $110 on overtime, Ryan
did this without consulting the men,
or having any elected delegates from
the various ports at his negotiations
with the employers. The cut went
into effect Saturday
The longshoremen, though much
dissatisfied. did not sufficiently per-
feet their dock committee and rank
and file committee organization in
time to precipitate a struggle Sat-
urday against the cut. There is still
time for that. 1t is a question of
electing leading anti-strike commit?
tees to defy Ryan and his hench-
men and smash the cut.
Fight For Conditions
Meanwhile the Ryan agreement
does not settle the working condi-
lions in the various ports. Polly
Bakers idea in Philadelphia is
Ryan's idea everywhere: just appoint
a committee to make working condi-
tons worse, give the longshoremen
a new kind of wage cut and more
unemployment in the shape of big
ger loads, smaller gangs, and build
a machine through discrimination
and favoritism.
In every port the longshoremen
should follow the example of Phil
adelphia = kick out the appointed
committees and have regularly cleo
ted negotiation committees of rank
and file workers. Garry on the fight
against the bad conditions at the
same time organization against the
wage cut is built up. The Marine
Workers Industrial Union pledges all
possible help.

fspeciaI to The Democratl

Naugatuck, Oct 11.-Congress- man Augustine Lonergan of Hart ford, democratic candidate for United States senator, speaking last night at one of the biggest demo- cratic rallies held in the borough in years predicted the election of Judge Martin E. Gormley of this borough as congressman from the fifth congressional district at the election to be held in November. He also predicted that after Mo- vember 8, the borough will be proud to be the home of Congress- man GormIey. Congressman Lon- ergan also predicted the election of the entire democratic ticket. !. He stated the pendulum started to swing in, 1880 and that 1t has been gaining momentum since that time until it now. has unquestionably swung over to the side of the peo- pie and the democratic party.
 What does the election in Maine 9 few weeks ago mean the con- gressman asked. It shows the people not only of Maine but of the entire country. Maine he stated is not an industrial state. It's popu- lation is made up of mostly rib rocked old time Americans who gain their living through agricul- ture. They have become sick and tired of the conditions that have prevailed without relief for the past three years and. are turning to the Jeffers6nians for their only hope of relief.
 Attacks Bingham
 Congresman Lonergan made a scathing attack on the record of U. s. Senator Hiram Bingham who is the candidate opposing him. Bing- ham has been in the senate eight years he said. In all of that period he has never voted once for a measure for the benefit of the working man.
 His record has been so bad he said that President Greene of the American Federation of Labor has sent a letter to every union man in the state of Connecticut disclos- ing his record as being foe of the laboring man. Congressman Lonergan stated that he had been 9 member of the house for a like number of years that Senator Bing- ham has been in the senate. am willing to stand on my record and it needs no defense. I say to him can he stand on his record without defense. For the third time the congressman stated in the history of the United States senate that a senator has been publicly rebuked in the senate was when the senator who is now seeking re- election took to Washington the paid representative of the Manu- lecturers association of Connecti- cut, took him there secretly and into the secret conferences of the finance committee. It was viola ton of the trust that was put in this man by the people of not only

EXCHANGE RELAXES|
WATCH OVER BEARS
Short Selling Reports to Be
Made Weekly Instead of
Daily Hereafter.
By the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, September 1.-THE
New York Stock Exchange today eased
up its surveillance of the bears by mod
flying its demand for short selling data.
Hereafter members Of the exchange
will be required to make weekly in
stead Of daily reports on the short po-
sition and will discontinue reports on
the daily in-and-out short transactions
Relaxation Of the exchanges position
on short selling records, brokers as
sumed, resulted from the very subStan-
tial decline in the outstanding short in
terest over the past few months. The
exchange tnaugurated an intensive
study Of short selling last May.
The change in system of reporting
by members does not mean, according
to brokerage opinion, that the exchange
has abandoned its vigilance against
short selling of any character forbidden
by the bylaws of the exchange. Ex-
change authorities, 1t was said, will
continue to be alert to detect anything
resembling "bear raids" or operations
tending to have Q demoralizing effect
on the market.
Meanwhile, exchange authorities were
studying some of the telegraphic COM
munications OF member hrmS sent ana
received between September IL and Is,
inclusive, submitted in compliance with
yesterdays official request for flies of
such messages as dealt lin any way
with topics Of a political nature" The
period mentioned covered the Maine
election.
Whether the exchange would make
public its finding in connection with
these messages has not been disclosed.
New York City members were ordered
to submit their files yesterday, while
t-of town firms have until next Mon
day to comply with the order.
