The Daily Worker has received

ALL MILLER SHOE
FILTERS TO MEET
TONITE IN HALL
Filters Call Entire
Crew for Joint Meet
the Same Evening

The /. Miller filters are called to
an extraordinary meeting tonight by
the Committee Of Fifteen elected at
the last filters meeting. This meet
ing will be held at Astoria Hall, "a
E. 4th st. between I'd and Sd Ave)
New York.
The Committee of Fifteen viii re-
port on the plans it has adopted in
order to prevent the 1 Miller firm
from throwing the workers out Of
their jobs.
The firm until now has maneu-
vered in all ways to split the unity
Of the workers in their struggle to
defend their jobs. At the last meeting
of the filters, the chairman brought
out how he was threatened by GER
tain individuals, and told not to ap-
pear at the factory on Saturday, the
day the filters were meeting inside
the factory. These threats came d-
rectly from the bosses.
The chairman was so inundated
that he actually could not come to
that meeting. When the meeting was
held in the factory, the boss tried
to break the morale of the workers
by pointing out that their leader had
not shown up and therefore the
workers should not organize, but re-
main at his mercy.
But the spirit Of the I. Miller fit
tiers has not been broken. At the open
meeting on Wednesday, they showed
more determination than ever to or
ganize for the fight which the boss
es are forcing upon them.

Such cases were very rare. The
average wage during the peak of war
prosperity was but little more than

Nevertheless wages did increase
and there was STEADY employment.
Basing themselves on this many
workers imagine that the coming war
will solve the problem of the crisis
and bring with it high wages. This
is one of the most serious illusions
that we Communists have to contend
with in our anti-war work among
the masses. 1t breeds an inertia not

which two weeks ago captured
the important industrial city
of Changchow following a vic

reported in yesterdays Daily
Worker. At Union Park over
$4,000 workers, Negro and
white, plus a large percentage
of women, and a larger number
Of youth and children participated.
The meeting was opened by John
Williamson who acted as a chairman
and after short addresses by Earl
BroWder and Negro woman COM
rade, Osby, the march strated. Over
$4,000 were in the line Of march
which was over one and one-half
miles long, ten breast, while thous-
ands of workers cheered and ap-
plauded the crowd for over two hours
over the four mile route through the
working class neighborhoods, stop
ping all traffic on its way. The march
was viewed by over 10000 workers.
Over one thousand banners we're
carried in the parade with slogans
of Defend the Soviet Union" de-
fend the Chinese Masses" For Un-
employed and Social Insurance"
Against Imperialist War" Build
Unions in the Shops" Free Mooney
and the Scottsboro Boys" Defeat

At the head of the parade was a
division of ex-servicemen with over
one Thousand in the line of march
led by a newly organized Chicago
workers band of music, followed
by young workers under the lead
ership of the Young Communist
League. Then came the Unem-
ployed Councils, trade unions OF

mass organizations.
AT the head of the parade the BAN

The demonstration endorsed the

May 7th. Lucy Parson, widow of
Albert Parsons, leader of the first

was invited to speak, was unable to

STRIKERS TO
PICKET JOBS
Hold Building Trades
Meet Thursday at
Irving Plaza
All Are Urged to Come

The Building Con-
struction Workers Lea
que calls all building
trade workers out on
the picket line in the
following concentra-
ton places: Radio City,
9Th Ave. and 50th ST.;
Metropolitan Life In
surance, Madison Ave-;
Inland Terminal, 18th
Street between 9Th and
9th Avenue; Post Of
flee, Both Street and
9th Avenue.
A special strike meeting of the
Building Trades and Construction
Workers Industrial League will take
place Thursday, May S, at 8 p. M,
at Irving Plaza, Corner Irving Place
and 18th Street. Every member of
the League is instructed to be pres
ent without fail.
The present strike was called by
the takers in the building trades
without preparation IN an effort to
betray the membership into a wage
cut and at the same time to hide
their betrayal in order completely to
strange and hog-tie the rank and
file. To finish this dirty job these
officials are taking further steps.
In the Sheet Metal Workers Union
Local No. % where the oxcials have
taken thousands of dollars of the
membership money for their own
use, the membership is prevented
from voting for strike, union meet
ings being called off. Butler, rep
resentative of the local in the Bldg.
Trades Council, stated that the
Council had proposed a Is percent
wage cut, though the membership
had no opportunity to decide any,
thing on this. Postal cards we're
sent out by these officials notifying
the members to go to work Monday,
May 2, which was done by the Of
flcialdom of many other unions as
well.
Hansen, chairman of the Carpent-
ers' District Council instructed the
membership to go to work for the
wage cut scale of $500 and $1,000 a
day, which means in reality for
about half of these figures. Hansen
also instructed Brownsville carpent-
ers to continue to work for anything
they can get regardless of the strike.
No action is taken with regard to in
dependent bosses and Jumpers, but
on many jobs today union men are
working on jobs with sanction of
the Carpenters District Council
without any scale of wages.
Two big painting jobs we're stop
ped Tuesday morning. On the New
Hospital of over 100 men, all hands
are out on strike.
Radio City is very heavily policed,
groups of strikers being immediate
ly dispersed by the cops. This is the
result of the failure of the official
dom to organize regular, systematic
picketing which should be demanded
by the rank and file of every union.
On one job, the Inland Terminal
at 10th Street and Ninth Avenue,
the rank and file have started regu-
lar picketing which will be extend
ed to the other jobs.
The Alteration Painters, an indie
pendent union announced that they
will support the strike and that none
of their members are to take the
places of strikers.
