Plumbers Union Wins
Strike in Big East
Side Alteration Shop

NEW YORK.-A strike Of plum
bers, steamfitters and helpers at
Sloan and Greenberg Co., one of the
largest alteration plumbing shops on
the east side was won this week,
when the demands of the workers
were conceded by the owners. The
workers won recognition of their
shop chairman and shop committee
and an increase of 81 per day for
all the workers. The strike was led
by the Alteration Plumbers, Steam
filters and Helpers Union.
The success Of this strike is in
spring other workers in the trade
to gain improvements in their con-
ditions and build the union.
At a special meeting of the newly
elected executive Board Of the Union
a code of demands was drawn up
which include a 6 hour day and day
week, wages for mechanics to be
$1.66 an hour and for helpers 81 an
hour, a guarantee of 26 weeks work
at full pay, the balance at so per
cent unemployment insurance to be
paid by the employer and the fed
eral government and other important
demands.

DOCkerS Defy Boss;
400 Attend Meeting

NEW YORK.-In response to call
from the Marine Workers Industrial
Union, about 200 longshoremen at
tended a mass meeting at the Mum
son Line pier in Brooklyn to protest
the severe conditions of labor.
The meeting was direct outcome
of the strike of seventeen lockers on
Thursday morning, after one worker
had collapsed on the job.
Although an attempt was made by
the foreman to break up the meeting,
and although a police car arrived to
maintain order" the meeting con-
tinued. Unfortunately, no Italian
speaker was available to address the
workers, the majority of whom are
italian and only slightly familiar
with English. Nevertheless their SEN
timent was excellent, and they ap-
plauded each speaker loudly.
A mass meeting of longshoremen
will be held in the Red Hook District
of Brooklyn to acquaint the marine
workers with the aims and tasks of
the M. w. I. U. and to prepare for
the mass meeting to be held at the
union headquarters, 40 Broad Street,
this Sunday night, where delegates
will be elected for the coming code"
meeting in Washington.

In this report he expressed regret

of the camp affected the lungs of
many of the boys. When Clark asked
medical treatment for his nose

the doctor told him that he had in
fected tonsils. The company COM
mander refused to let him stop work
and be treated for this, and Clark
quit the camp.
On the road, he reported, he met
many who had quit the camps after
being unable to stand the conditions

zone thing I should add: Spies lose
their effectiveness when workers flock
into the unions as they are doing
now. A powerful, aggressive labor
movement need fear no stool-pigeons
any more than a cyclone fears

II presented proof that from the
time Of the steel strike Of 1919 until
Saturday, July %, 1888, large corpor-
ations in the iron and steel industry,
and especially the United States
Steel Corporation, have carried on
systematic espionage upon workers
and workers organizations. This
espionage has included the bribery
of trade union and other labor or
ganization officials and members to
give the employers information prop
erly regarded as confidential; the OBJ
tanning of the names of new members
of such organizations, so that they
may be discharged by the employers;
the spreading Of dissension in the
organizations so that they may be
destroyed; the receiving of advance
information on organization efforts,
SO that those efforts may be blocked.
II testified that spying on workers
existed in the steel industry on July
20, 1893, because on that day inter-

NEW YORK Colonel Phillips Of
the New York N. R. A. Bureau inter-
vened in the strike of the furniture
workers again yesterday when he an
nounced that the Furniture Dealers
Association have asked that negotia-
tons with the strikers be reopened.
According to the strikers, the en-
ployers are maneuvering to sign an
agreement with a few workers who
are confused about the situation on
the basis of an arbitration plan and
to declare this settlement to be the
wish of the mass of strikers. Strikers
are warned against this move, in
which Colonel Phillips will aid the

San Antonio ALL,
City Act to Break
FinckCigar Strike
Shield Scab Work by
Promising Girls
a Bazaar

SAN ANTONIO, Texas. In the
face of rank and file opposition, the
American Federation Of Labor, CO.
operating with the city authorities
and gangsters, is attempting to break
the strike at the Finck Cigar Com
pany. When the girls rejected the
A. F. of L. leadership, the politicians
resorted to the device Of printing
benefit tickets" to feed the strikers,
and have promised them a bazaar.
Paul @. Jones and Pat Viola, spokes-
men for the A. F. of L., have told the
girls not to worry about wages, but
to trust in President Roosevelt.
Jones is employed at the city hall.
Viola is business man and fascist
misleader of the veterans.
Three girls who denounced Viola
and Jones as spies were elected from
the last meeting of the strikers.
Thus, the A F. of L. is making
beggars out of the striking girls, with
the ultimate object of sending the
girls back to starvation, and finally
preventing them from striking under
any circumstances.
Viola's daughter is handling the
strike funds by appointment of her
father.

Philadelphia Shoe
Union Wins Strike
After Long Fight
500 Repair Men Gain

Recognition

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 18th e
Franklin Shoe Repair Co. of Phila-
delphia was compelled today to sign
an agreement granting union condi-
tions and full recognition to the
Shoe and Leather Workers Indus
trial Union.
In the shoe repairers' strike, which
took place in Philadelphia over three
months ago, the strike lasted for
over two months, and the workers
settled on the basis of the recognition
of their shop committee.
The struggle, however, for the rec
ignition of the union continued, and
now this biggest chain store in this
city was compelled to sign on the
dotted line.
500 Workers Involved
This victory of the shoe repairers
follows the successful strike Of some
500 shoe workers under the leader
ship of the Shoe and Leather Work
ers' Industrial Union. While some IA
shops were involved, IL Of them, in
Guiding the largest employing some
$50 workers, were compelled to set
tie, granting increases in wages
ranging from 80 to as per cent in
others, with recognition of either the
shop committee or the Shoe and
Leather Workers Industrial Union.
Only two shops, the Standard and
Quality, are still on strike, and the
workers are determined to stay out
until all their demands are granted

BOSTON, Mass, Aug. 19.-The dye

House in Maiden, are now reverting

smash the militant strike and along
with it the militant dye union, the

and that it had been traced to the

to have exploded in the rear of the
concern, was heard by neighbors, who
called the police. Peculiarly, it was
the neighbors and not the bosses who
called the police.

ceeded in terrorizing the strikers one
bit. The strike goes on more mill

Blue Eagle Cuts
Workers Pay in
Los Angeles, Cal.
Owl Drug Adds Man
But Makes w ork er S
Pay His Wages

LOS ANGELES, Calif.-Here are
a few instances how the "NRA" is
operating against the workers in this
city.
The Owl Drug Store which flaunts
a blue eagle in its windows cut down
hours; added an extra worker and
then reduced the pay of all employees
to pay for the extra worker.
The elevator men in building on
4th and Spring, have been told that
for transport workers, the working
week will be 48 hours instead of 40.
In a Los Angeles restaurant, the
workers, prior to MIRA, received So
a week and free meals. Now they get
$12 a week from which So is deducted
for meals, making an actual reduc-
ton in wages of 81 weekly.
Thousands of workers here, selling
on commission, are absolutely out
side of the application of the reduc-
ton of hours provided in the NRA;
yet their firms, with limited clerks
employed, are displaying the blue
eagle signs. The statesmen are thus
CONSCIOUS OIL Cne WHole HypocrlClcdl

Various "racket" organizations
are selling NRA blue-eagle signs
which are prominently displayed in
windows. These signs are "Consum-
ers" signs playing up the blue-eagle
jingoism to fool workers into think
ing they are supporters of NRA,
whereas investigation reveals that
the display of the signs simply means
they are SELLING supposedly NRA
products.
In Hollywood, large bakery with
over 70 employees, dismissed many of
them prior to the NRA and then

call was issued today by the To-

and the organization committee for
the tobacco industry urges all to-
bacco workers to come out on
strike on Monday, August 81 at
p. m.
The strike is being called to de-
feat the manufacturers code which
provides minimum wage scale of
$12 a week for skilled workers,
while unskilled workers will be
paid even less. Demands of the gem
eral strike are for an immediate
increase of So per thousand in
every shape for cigarmakers and
wage increases for all other work
ers engaged in the industry.
The general strike call says IN
part: "The bosses are united against
US. The Recovery Act protects
them. We must protect ourselves
and fight for higher wages and i'm

A mass meeting of tobacco work
ers will be held tonight at Harlem
