OUT
TO HELP PUT
OVER PAYCUT
CONTINUED FROM FACE ONE,


Wolf, another Council Delegate, then
jumped out and stated that Frey was
lying and Weinstock was telling the
truth. After this motion was made
and unanimously adopted that all
three council delegates be instructed
to demand from the district council
that any power given to Kelly shall
be taken away from him and all
negotiations to be carried on by the
duly elected agreement committee.
The general opinion of the mem
bership of the local is fatty opposed
to the proposals Of the bosses sane
toned by the officialdom for two
wage scales, regardless of whatever
the decisions of the other building
trades crafts may be.
In Local "a Bricklayers, the mem
bership are showing such opposition
to the officialdom and their treach-
erous sell-out policy that these takers
conducted the last membership under
police protection over dozen plain
clothes men being present in the
meeting hall.
A committee of carpenters came
to the District Council today TO get
information on what they should do.
The officialdom told them if you are
in a position to bring your bosses
here to negotiate, do so, if you can't,
go to work under any conditions you
can get"
The work on all important jobs is
tied up with the exception of Radio
City where only non-union structural
iron workers and some excavators are
at work. The officialdom of all
building trade unions are doing their
utmose to prevent any picketing OF
the jobs, clearing the way for any
bosses who may attempt using strike
breakers.
The Building Trades Council is at
tempting to get the elevator con-
structors and electricians to accept
the Is per cent wagecut announced
by the bosses and accepted by the
Council instead Of the approximately
is per cent wage cut which these two
/ trades have agreed with their bosses
to accept. Not only are the takers OF
the Building Trades Council for a
wage-cut, but they are helping the
bosses to the biggest wage-cut.
Carpenters and painters working al
Gimbel Brothers Deartment Store
33rd Street and 9Th Ave, went on
strike this morning and were imne-
diately sentback to work by Their
union officials without any scale Of
wages. The carenters are at work
while the painters refuse to go to
work without conditions.
The immediate task confronting
the membership Of the various local
unions in this struggle against thei1
officials and the bosses, is the calling
of special membership meetings al
which rank and file strike commit
tees should be elected to lead the
strike and organize mass picketine
on the various jobs.
The press controlled by the bosses
speak of the vacation" strike, thus
trying to discourage the idea of any
real militant mass picketing which
alone can stop the wage-cut. The
membership therefore can protect
their interests only by repudiating
any idea of vacation strike" anc
forcing the fight for real fighting
strike, with a militant organized
picket controlled by the rank and
file.

Mayor Swoboda led Racine delega-

But when it came time to disperse, it
seemed that he had deserted-ridden
away in his automobile, to leave his
followers fatigued and admittedly thirsty.
Most of those who had trudged for
blocks wandered homeward, but the
Racine marchers waited uncertainty
for their leader.
Swoboda returned, smiling broadly, in
q few minutes.
He rallied the Racine delegation and
started a new march. The mayor had
arranged for free lunch and near-beer
at one Of the breweries which once
