STRIKES SPREAD IN GERMANY

The spreading Of strikes against
the attempt of the German employers
to reduce wages as provided for by
the recent Won Papen emergency
decree, was admitted Saturday by
Hugo Schaeffer, Minister Of Labor,
according to capitalist press reports.
The Minister said that by cutting
down wages the bosses were fulfilling
their peace obligations" under the
wage agreements and warned" the
workers that by striking against the
Wage-cuts they would violate their
part of the peace obligations" and
endanger their position of their trade
unions. Under the fatherly warn
ing" there is a treath to disband the
workers revolutionary unions and
red opositions which lead the strikes
against wage cuts.
The first attempts by the bosses to
cut wages resulted in a whole series
of strikes following upon a series Of
protest stoppages serving notice on

Ackerly, he dissolved the strike COM
mittee, dissolved the District Council,
called off the strike, signed an agree
ment with the employers, established
an alteration department, and last
but not least he double-crossed both
groups Of politicians" and appointed
Philip Zausner, the notorious labor
faker, the open shop boss, general
organizer with full power. Zausner
cleaned the treasury of $4,000 a
few years ago and was driven out.
But he got back.
This was more than even the pol
iticians" could stand for: Phil zaus-
mes, in full charge of the District
Council, in full charge of dealing
with the employers, make agreements
with them, in full charge of the in
come and expenditures of District
Council No 9! The double crossed
politicians first thought was the
court. Those who expected jobs from
Ackerly were kicked out just like a
useless dog.
They didn't think for minute
to go to the membership and with
the support from the membership
clean out the Ackerly- zausner gang.
No, they don't believe in it. The
politicians" have only two griev-
ances against Ackerly and Zausner.
Ons is that they have been double
crossed, secondly, their rights have
been curtailed as Council delegates.
The membership must take matters
into their own hands The left-wing
must give a program to the members
of District Council No. 9.

So both groups were satisfied, every
body except the membership.
After these promises, Ackerly came
to the District Council and said he
had wonderful plans. to settle the
strike for one scale of wages and he
could do everything under the sun
but he needed full power to act in
behalf" of the organization.
The left-wing opposition pointed
out to the membership at the begin
ming of the strike that $11.20 is not
the main issue; conditions on the
jobs, the control of hiring and firing,
abolition Of speed-up, must be the
main demands along with the $11.20
demand.
The left-wing further pointed out
that the politicians" in the District
Council and also in the strike COM
mittee have artificially split the
ranks to weaken the organization for
the benefit of the employers.
