Lodge NO 800 of the International
Association Association of Machin-
lists at Park Ridge, Ill, and local $50
of the Brotherhood of aPinterS, Dec

ton of William Green in making
public statements, in sending circu-
lar letters to all American Federation

New York A. F. of l.. Trade Union

surance and Relief. The locals
stand on record for unemployment

Movement Growing Fast
The movement among A. F. Of L.
workers for unemployment insurance,
in open definace of the last A. r. Of

organization form with the New York

conference was held Jan 81. 1882 in
the Labor Temple at 243 East 84th

10 A. F. of L, locals present and
$1,000 members represented. The
conference elected Committee
which has since grown to 1906 dele
gates representing 50 locals This is
the New York A. r. of l.. Trade I'm
ion Committee for Unemployment
Insurance and Relief. The forma-
ton of this committee in New York
was followed by similar conferences
and similar committees in: Philadel-

NEW YORK.--Two more Ameri-
can Federation of Labor local unions
have adopted resolutions endorsing
against the Workers Unemployment
Insurance Bill and sharply condemn
ing President William Green of the
A, F. of L. for attacking jooless in
surance. This is undoubtedly the
beginning of a flood of similar reso-
lutions, being a new high point in a
very powerful new movement of the
A. F. of L. membership for insurance.
Since March, a total of 800 A. F. of
L. locals have endorsed the bill after
receiving copies of it from the New
York A. F. of l.. Trade Union Com
mitee for Unemployment Insurance.
Green's answer was to circularize
the A. F. of L. central bodies and To-
cal unions, April 30, ordering them
TO have nothing TO odWith this move
ment for unemployment insurance.
He went further: On May he lifted
the charter of the Building Trades
Council Of Minneapolis representing
Is unions with $500 membership
The council has endorsed the Work
ers Unemployment Insurance Bill
and had taken part in other real
working class activities.
Open Letter TO Green.
Green's circular letter was an
swered on May by the New York
A, F. of L. Committee for Unem-
ployment Insurance with a state
ment to the press in the form of an
open letter pointing out that Green
was fighting the best interests Of
workers and unemployed workers
alike, that Green and the executive
Council of the A. F.. of L. has long
carried on a bitter struggle against
the establishment of a system of I'M
employment insurance, and an
neuncing the movement by 300 local
unions of the A. p. of L. for insur-
anCe.
At the same time, the New York
Committee communicated with the
locals that had already endorsed
unemployment insurance and asked
them 10 adopt resolutions aSsailing
Green's position in his circular letter.

The capitalist press also hints that

In Militant Mass
Demonstration

NEW YORK.-Ovcr a thousand fun
workers demonstrated yesterday il
the fur market at 18th St. and It'll
Ave. demanding immediate relief ano
unemployment insurance for the UNI
employed fur workers.
A committee of FIVE workers, fom
of which we're members Of the A. F
of L. union, we're elected to carry the
demands of the workers to Mr.. SC1ie-
ginger, head of the Association Of

and presented the following demands
I. Ten dollars 4 week relief for
each unemployed fur worker and
SO additional for each dependent.
?. Distribution of relief to be
placed in the hands of the furriers,
5, Money for relief and unem-
rloyrnent 10 be paid by the fur
manufacturers.
4. No cvictions and free medical
aid TO all workers.
Schieglinger said that he could dc
nothing for the workers as he had
an agreement with Kaufman of the
A. T. of l.. which did not provide
for unemployment insurance. The
committee replied that the agreement
was not supported by the masses OF
furriers and pointed out that the de-
mands presented the grievances OF
the rank and file.
Following the demonstration the
workers held meeting in the hall
of the Needle Trades Workers Indus
trial Union. The workers enthusi-
astically pledged to continue the
struggle for unemployment insurance
and relief and rally greater masses
of fur workers for more determined
fight.
The bosses and the A. F. of L. Of
ficials are excrting every effort tc
frame Jack Schneider, leader of the
furriers, and either railroad him to
Jail or deport him to Roumania.
The deportation proceedings against
Schneider h>ve augmented by new
attempt to send him to jail on q
framed-up charge of assault Schnei-
der is being rushed to court today
on this charge which has been pend
ing for some time.
