Communism, what is the name of

Daily Worker. So have noticed
few other members rushing to news

I was one of the luckiest to get one,
as there were not many papers on

remained standing like unconscious,
and then I saw most everyone trying
to get a Daily Worker in their hands.
All you could hear after from every
one was, This is paper that

Rank and File Uprising.
And now, Mr.. Editor, for the last
five or six weeks, an open uprising
is going on in our local union, and I
am one of those that do not often
go to our meetings, and from the
men that come to the dayroom you
cannot find out anything that is go
ing on.
All could find out was that we
asked the American Federation Of
Labor to come and straighten things
out, but it looks like they did not
come TO help us. I do not know why.
Perhaps you know why the A. F. Of
L. did not come to help us?
Through a paper some day this
week I noticed that my local union
No. So applied for an injunction to
prevent the International from in
terfering in the affairs of Local So,
but for why, and for what, I tell you
the Gods honest truth, I do not
know, and know, Mr.. Editor, it is
my own fault, as I do not attend the
meetings regularly.
And SO, as 1 could not get much
information from the men in the
dayroom, which is located at go E.
3lst St., New York, nothing from the
daily press, so L made up my mind
to go Friday night to the meeting
to hear what is going on, as we meet
every Friday night in the Labor
Temple on East 34th St., New York.
Big Crowd At Union Meeting.
Before approaching the meeting
hall noticed on both sides Of the
street big circles of men like never
before. Approaching nearer rec
ognized the men in the circles are
from my union. Stopping to listen
to what is going on, I could hear
one man reading from a piece clipped
out of newspaper pertaining to our
local union No. So.
I and others were anxious to get
a copy for ourselves to read, so I
asked in what paper it is. So one
fellow jumps out and said, "Oh, a
Communist paper" but for one do
not know the definition Of the word
Communist, and could also vouch for

took place with 1913 delegates, out o.
which " came from 20 shops.
The proposals to the conference al
contained in the resolution were ad.
opted by the conference by a VOTE
Of SO in favor and IA against anc
read as follows:
1. The election of a committee Of
80 to be known as the Shoe Workers
United Front Action Committee COM
posed of five delegates from each or
ganization represented at this confer
ence, to prepare the broad masses OF
shoe workers for a United Struggle
against unbearable shop and living
conditions. For struggles to gain in
creases in wages-to reduce the hours
Of daily labor, for the abolition OF
speed-up system.
2. To organize United Action Com
mittees in shops and factories in pre-
paration for United Struggle.
3. To call mass meetings of all
shoe workers in different sections of
the city by the wide distribution of
leaflets and agitational work in the
shops.
f. The task of this committee shall
also be to achieve through friendly
and intimate discussion a satisfac-
tory basis upon which to begin to
fuse the various organizations into
one union, and to call another Uni
ted Front delegate conference in the
near future, of organized and unor-
ganized shops, at which conference
the committee is to report on its &C
tivities.
5. To advise and conduct such
shop strikes of shoe workers where
more than one organization is in
volved, when called upon by the shop
crew.
Differences Among Delegates
Sharp differences of opinions on
policies and methods of organization
showed themselves throughout the
discussion at both conferences. The
delegates of the National Shoe Work
ers Association in presenting sub
stitute resolution from the floor took
particular exception to the proposals
of the Resolution Committee dealing
with the question Of preparing the
organized and unorganized workers
in the shops for a general struggle
to improve the miserable conditions
now prevailing in the shoe industry.
They particularly objected to the
proposals calling for mass meetings
under the auspices of the United
Front Sommittee of A C I'll o n and
against the carrying on Of strikes in
individual shops wherever and when
ever the workers are ready to tight
for better conditions. A theory. put
forward by them was that nothing
could be done until all present exist
ing organizations had been elirni-
mated and one union established
The conference, before adjourning
on May 20, after adopting the re-
solution voted unanimously that the
proposed committee of 30-to be
known as 1.-The United Front Com
mittee of Action should be elected
as follows: Each of the six organi-
cations are to call a special member

gates and that these thirty delegates
thus elected should hold its first

sions into action.
Action Committee Meets
At the meeting of the Committee
of 30 with % present, the delegates Of
the Shoe and Leather Workers In
dustrial Union made the following
motions:
1. That we recognize the Weiss
manassas strike and give guidance
and leadership to same.
2. That we proceed in arranging
for the calling of the mass meeting
for The purpose of modifying the
shoe workers into action.
That we issue statement outlin-
ing to the workers program and
aim Of the United Front Committee
of Action.
3. That we elect small commit
tee to work out and bring in pro-
posal how best to bring about the
one big Union in the industry.
The delegates of the National Shoe
Workers Association made separ-
ate motion as follows: That we deal
only with the election of a small
committee to discuss ways and means
for the establishing of one big union.
In the discussion, the National
Shoe delegates showed that
l. They are opposed to recogniz-
ing the present strike at the Weiss
manassas Shoe Co. in Brooklyn,
although the strike is conducted on
the basis of Rank and File United
Front.
2. That they are opposed to car
rying out the mandate of the Uni
ted Front Conference.
3. That they are interested only
in the election of smaller commit
tee to work out ways and means how
to bring about the one big Union and
that in the meantime no other &C
ton be taken by the United Front
Committee.
Disregarding Mandate
The delegates of the Shoe and
Leather Workers Industrial Union
pointed out that these delegates were
disregarding the trust placed upon
them by the Rank and File Dele
gates at the United Front Confer
ence of May 20. Their refusal to
have a committee of 80 assume the
role of leadership in the Weissman-
Sass strike was more so a disregard
of the interest of the workers now on
strike.
But the delegates of the National
Shoe Workers Association continued
to maintain their opposition to the
United Front Resolution, refusing to
recognize the same as mandate
from the United Front Rank and File
Conference of May 20.
Mass Meeting Called
In view of such a condition. it was
impossible to continue with deliber-
alton at the meeting of June 3 and
an adjournment was voted until Sat-
urday, June 10, at pm. at 96 Fifth
Avenue. A final effort will be made
to get the delegates to honor the de-
cisions of a United Front Confer
ence.
To bring this question more clearly
to the attention of the Shoe Work
ers and thus prevent the sabotaging
of the United Front Conference, in
structions, we, the delegates repre-
senting the Shoe and Leather Work
ers Industrial Union, call upon all
shoe workers in the City Of New York
and Greater New York to attend the
Mass Meeting being arranged for FRI
day, June 9, at 1880 pm. at the Irving
Plaza Hall. We call upon all shoe
workers to demonstrate and support
for United Front Action and to help
in mobilizing all shoe workers for a
general struggle against the intoler-
able conditions prevailing in the in
dustry. and along that road pave the

fighting for increased wages is the
problem they are now trying to work
out, with the aid Of the Brotherhood
leaders. Unless the rank and file or
ganise to play a more decisive part
than in previous wage movements,
the coming negotiations are likely to
follow the same old pattern. The
companies will demand much more
than they expect to get. The Broth
erhood leaders will talk fight, at the
same time as they tie the members
hands from striking through arbitra-
ton or voluntary" agreement, and
the net result will be another cut
for even continuation of the present
10 per cent deduction means a dras-
tic cut in wages, with Roosevelt bent
on making living costs soar through
his initiation program.
