World Telegram Cuts
Everybody 10 Percent;
Union Urges Struggle

NEW YORK. - Workers of the
World-Telegram welcomed with en-
thusiasm leaflets distributed Satur-
day by the Office Workers Union, CAL
ling them to organize and resist the
general 10 percent wage-cut which
has just gone into effect. This is the
second 10 percent slash the workers
have received this year.
The leaflet was drawn up by a
group of workers within the Scripps-
Howard organization with the aid of
the Office Workers Union. The
management called detectives to ar
rest the distributors, but the dis
tributors evaded them by walking
boldly inside of the building. Groups
of workers inside greeted the dis
tributors and aided them.
The 10 percent wage cut affects all
with the exception of the printers
and the feature writer's under con-
tract. Especial resentment against
the cut is evidenced by the reporters
who clearly see the demagogic edi-
torial policy Of the Scripps- Howard
stripped naked.

FORCE RELEASE
REX STRIKERS
Call to Mass Picket
Monday Morning

NEW YORK-Because Of the mil
itancy and determination of the
many Rex strikers who crowded the
Essex st. court, 26 Of the strikers
who were arrested Friday were re-
leased.
The bosses, the brothers Rosen-
berg, through the police, are trying
toNintimidste the strikers, and break
the mass picket line by these arrests,
but the spirit of the workers while
in the patrol wagon and in the cells
was a dandy answer to the bosses of
Rex. In the court room you could
hear the song ION the Picket Line"
coming from the cells behind. The
workers are determined that their
picket line shall continue until the
boss will recognize their demands.
The boss is weakening Today he
called for a conference but refused
to meet the committee that the
strikers wanted. He refused to see
any of the Spanish workers and any
of the workers who have been very
active in the strike The answer of
the strikers was that in the very near
future he would see the committee
the strikers elected and that if the
strikers went back to work they
would go back together as one body
or nobody would go back to work in
Rex.
The strikers are determined to win
this strike but they need the sup
port of every class conscious worker
in New York. The Metal Workers In
dustrial Union calls upon all workers
to come to the picket line Monday
(this) morning at 7'o'clock at 18th
st. and University Pl. Committees of
strikers and union men are visiting
organizations to collect funds for the
strike We ask all organizations to
give the utmost support to these mil
liant Rex strikers.

Premier Herriot Says
He Has Information

PARIS, Sept. 18.-Germany was
charged with being engaged in the
illegal manufacture of arms by Pre-
mier Herriot before the Foreign At
fairs Commission of the Chamber of
Deputies.
The French Premier appeared be-
fore the Foreign Affairs Commits
sion to defend his policy toward Ger
many's demand for arms equality as
outlined in the Won Papen's memo
randum to the government of France
He declared himself against the
proposal to discuss the German equal
ity demand before a conference of
great powers and promised to lay his
information concerning the illegal
manufacture of arms in Germany
before the League of Nations.
A note defining the position of
the British government on the CUES
ton was received yesterday by the
Foreign Office here. In political
circles great nervousness is evinced
as the nature of the note has not
been disclosed as yet.
It is not ascertained whether Pre-
mier Herriot will go to Geneva to
participate in the arms conference,
where no German delegate will be
sitting. In a note addressed to Ar
thur Henderson, president of the
conference, Won Papen informed
that Germany will not be repre-
sented at the arms meeting until her
claim on arms equality is recognized
or negotiations are started on the
question.

HILLQUIT WON'T
PLEDGE A CHANGE
Admits He Would Do
About Like Tammany

NEW YORK.-The capitalist press
Yesterday played up an interview
with Morris Hillquit, candidate of the
Socialist Party for mayor of New
York, in which the millionaire law
yer admits that a socialist regime in
New York would not mean any great
outward change in the government"
This fact, already demonstrated in
Milwaukee where a socialist mayor
is faithfully carrying out the bosses
hunger and terror program against
the masses, Hillquit attempts to ex-
plain with the argument that consti-
tutional restrictions of the bourgeois
state would prevent the Socialist
Party from carrying out a policy in
any way different to that of the two
other capitalist parties, the Repub-
licans and Democrats.
Sees Degeneration.
The interview as published in the
New York Tribune states that:
Mr. Hillquit is philosophic about
the old parties. and admits that If
the socialists gained power and held
il for many years. they too, eventu-
alt. would degenerate"

PRINTING BOSSES
ANNOUNCE CUT
Rank and File Called
to Prepare Strike

NEW YORK.-At the meeting yes
terday of Typographical Union local
No. 6. President Hewson reported
that the Printers League (Bosses)
have notified the union that they
will POST notices in all shops on Tues
day, Sept. 10, than on and after Oct
ober when the existing contract eX-
pires, the men will get a 1870 wage
cut SLIP per hour instead Of 81 81
at present.. This also applies to the
apprentices. The bosses also stated
that they will not recognize the pri
GRITTY law, thus giving the right to
the foreman to hire and fire when
ever he chooses without any restric-
lions by the union.
Officials Aid Bosses.
Instead of taking the necessary or
ganiza tional steps to strike against
the wage cut and worsening shop
conditions, the officials again indulge
in demagogic phrases and in watch
full waiting The militants Of the
union (The Amalgamation Party

1t is clear that only the militant

have pursued the policy of wage cuts
persistaently. In this case their
