1890 Bonner Plant
Men in Buffalo, NY.
Sign Up in Union
Hold Mass Meeting to
Make Final Strike
Preparations
By BILL DUNE

BUFFALO, Aug. 20.-There are big
developments here in the Bonner
plant of the Republic Steel Company.
The men of the chipping department
have demanded 81 cents per hour
and given the company till Monday.
In the present situation in Repub-
lie Steel some 800 to TOO men in the
chipping department are involved di-
rectly and 1900 indirectly in various
other departments.
Friday afternoon one chipping de-
partment turn-about 200 men-quit
work in protest against the wage
scale. The next turn met in the shop
and although supposed to start work
at four D. m. did not start until six
thirty. They had decided to quit with
the earlier shift, but since this shift
had acted without consulting the
chipping department committee =
elected by the whole department, and
because of the pressure of the SUI
perintendent who begged them to wait
until Monday so he could give them
an answer after getting in touch with
the youngstown headquarters of the
company, they decided to work.
Put Demands
At a meeting later it was decided
to deliver the ultimatum to the COM
pany. The demand is for 621a cents
an hour and no tonnage rate.
The Republic Steel has company
union, originally organized on the
standard steel company pattern with
committeeman chosen by the COM
pany - accompanied of course with
some slight pretenses of democratic
elections. But recently the workers
have been carrying through actual
elections and have committees which
represent them although still formally
part of the company union.
These committees have followed the
organizational pattern and work on
the plan of those of the Steel and
Metal Workers Industrial Union
which is very popular among the
men. At a meeting late last night it
was decided by these committee re-
representatives. to have settlement of
the demands by four P. M, Monday
or stop work.
Places for holding mass meetings
are being secured for Sunday. At
these meetings the final decisions and
preparations for strike will be made
if the committees meet point blank
refusal More than 1900 of the 2,800
workers have signed applications for
the SMWIU. A number Of these be-
long to the I. A. of M, and the
Switchmen's Union. Knowing some
thing of the extent Of organization
and the determination among the
men it is by no means impossible that
the company will make some conces-
sions on hourly wage scales or ton
mage rates.
The reasons for the steel company
acceptance of the Roosevelt code
without union provisions is quite
clear from the plant conditions as is
also the opposition of the workers to
| it:
Wages Decreases 50 Peh Cent
In the chipping department of the
Republic mill, for example, workers
employed 100 hours over a two-week
period previously earned between SCI
and $50. Working time has now beer
cut to Sc hours and workers make
only from $50 to $40 in the two-week
period-and often much less thar
this. Roughly speaking, then only
"a hours have been cut from the
work time-20 per cent-while wages
actual income per worker has de-
creased 50 per cent and more.

In New York City

Monday afternoon general mass
meeting of strikers is to take place
at the list Regiment Armory to APP
prove the agreement.
The conference of representa-
tives of striking shops which was
held on Saturday afternoon, Aug
ust the 10Th at Irving Plaza Hall,
Irving Place and 18th ST., after
discussing terms of the settlement
made by the Whalen commission
has decided to call upon all dress
strikers to remain in the halls
until the price committees settle
prices witt the employers, that
guarantee the increased minimum
scale provided in the settlement.
Representatives of nearly 400
shops, including 112 shops striking
under the leadership of the Inter-
national, participated in this con-
ference. Altogether there were 1886
delegates.
The conference was held under the
auspices of the strike committee of
the Needle Trades Workers Indus
trial Union.
All speakers stressed the fact that
in order that this agreement shall
not remain merely on paper, it is
necessary that all strikers be as
sured first by their price committee
that they will receive the benefit of
increased prices, according to the
settlement.

Johnson Stalls
Marine Workers
on Code Hearing
Union Mobilizes 1t S
Delegations to
Put Demands

NEW YORK.-A second telegram
from the Marine Workers Industrial
Union, demanding hearing on the
Marine Workers codes" was sent to
Gen. Johnson, Thursday. The first
message sent two weeks ago, brought
back the meager answer that no date
has been set nor demand made for
codes from the industry. He has not
answered the second.
The M.W.I.U. telegram TO Johnson
informed him that a delegation was
being sent, and demanded that a
hearing be. given them when they
arrive in Washington next Wednes-
day, Aug %.
In spite of Jofnson's statements
that he had not called for codes for
the marine industry, the papers re-
port that such action had been taken.
The M.W.IU. pointed out in its
telegram that thousands OF marine
workers had endorsed the M.W1.U.
demands and we're ready to support
them.
At present the shipping industry is
irving to evade the demands of the
workers for decent working hours ana
conditions and decent wages. The
shipowners claim that their confer
ence agreements" govern the industry
and wages and hours are limited
under the Shipping Act of 1928, and
the Seamen's Act.
Since those laws are flagrantly
violated, with no effort on the part
of the government to maintain them,
the pretense is ridiculous.
Delegates to present the demands
will be elected at mass meetings
of seamen, longshoremen and har-
borworkers this week and will go to
washington to present the demands
to the MIRA executives.
Behind this campaign, the NV.
III. is organizing the seamen and
other marine workers to fight for the
demands in the code" if the gov
eminent and the shipowners do not
come across with them.
| The codes" call Tor a minimum
yearly income for ABS of $625 a
wear, for ten months of work, andd
proportioned wages for other seamen.
When this is not reached, the gov
eminent and industry should make
up the difference. They demand an
hour day, 40 hour week, and crew
schedule applicable. A ship committee
on every ship and the right to strike
to enforce the demands Of the work
ers are also included.
For longshoremen minimum OF
80 hours pay week is demanded, and
a maximum of 40 hours work, with
restoration of the 1880 scale Of wages,
and the right of local unions and
dock committees to limit the size
and weight of sling loads. Towboat-
men are making similar demands
under the codes"

Deaf to Workers
Demands; ScabShOp
Policy Is Approved
Big Trusts Write Own
Wage Terms; Codes
to Run 80 Days

WASHINGTON, Aug. 20.-Before
going to his 1,000-acre farm in Hyde
Park, New York, for a weekend va
cation, President Roosevelt in few
hours disposed of codes covering
working conditions for millions Of
workers in the steel, lumber and oil
industries.
Not a bit of attention was paid TO
what the workers themselves said.
Final action was taken between the
big bosses themselves, General john
son and President Roosevelt.
All these codes are to run for 80
days. when the bosses can modify
them. A big point taken up was the
open-shop. A victory for the scah
shop was won by the big trusts. The
way the thing was worked out is de-
signed to mislead the workers. The
lumber. steel and oil codes copy Sec
ton 7 (a) of the NRA. This section
guarantees the open shop and the
right of the workers to join their
own unions.
Open Shop Dominates
But in practice, the open shop DOM
mates, as is shown by the statement
of Robert P. Lamont, representative
of. J. P. Morgan and the big steel
trusts at the steel hearing.
The agreement for the open shop
and company unions, not protested
by william Green, and agreed TO by
General johnson and President
Roosevelt, is being circulated to all
steel workers.
It is undoubtedly similar to the
open shop agreements in lumber and
oil.
In the words of Mr.. Lamont 1t is
as follows:
ut should be distinctly under
stood. however, that the omission
of the Section ION the open shop
does not imply any change in at
titude of the industry on the two
points referred to: that the indus
try believes that the employee rep
resentation plans company unionsl
now in effect at its plants are de-
sired by its employees; that the
members of the industry will ma
turally do everything in their power
to preserve the satisfactory rela-
tionships now existing with their
employees"
Rush Coal, Auto Codes
Within the next 48 hours, Genera.
johnson is preparing to rush throuyn
similar codes for the coal and auto
mobile industries.
Sharp clashes took place around
the writing of all the codes, not SO
much on the question Of wages, hours
or unions, but on the question OF
which of the big trusts would gain
by the price-fixing arrangements.
This was particularly seen in the
oil industry. The oil code, which Will
be directly under Rosevelt's control,
saws very little about wages ana
hours. except that hours are to be
on the 40-a-week minimum, with
plenty OF exceptions.
The main points in the oil code
deal with such matters as control OF
crude petroleum production; limiting
output to benefit Gulf Oil, owned by
Mellon, and Standard Oil, owned by
the Morgans. The smaller operators
