pay for overtime, recognition of de-
partment committee and other de-
mands.

DEMAND FOR NO
DISCRIMINATION
IN RELIEF WON
K apl an, Spokesman

PROVIDENCE, R. l., June 10
lward PH Reidy, Director of Public
Aid, accepted yesterday the demands
of the strikers on relief job not to
discriminate against any worker on
the return to the job. The wage cut
has been rescinded.
After the strike committee left
Reidy's Office and were waiting for
car, the police arrested Kaplan and
Ford, both members of the commit
tee. Ford was released later, while
Kaplan is held incommunicado.
With this act the officials expected
to stifle the militancy of the men
who returned to work.
The workers adopted resolutions
condemning the unity of the relief
officials, the police and capitalist
newspapers against the strikers.
They condemned the arrest of Kap-
Ian and demanded his immediate re-
lease.
The men are determined to build
their organization, the Right to Live
Club. They are developing move
ment to fight for their demands of
$40 weekly cash relief for married
people plus an additional dollar a
week for each dependent.

RECOVERY ACT
USED TO BREAK
STRIKE IN UTICA
By a Special Daily Worker Reporter

BY a Special Daily Worker Reporter
ANNISTON, Ala, June 16.-The
heroic strike of the Utica Mill work
ers here has been sold out to the
bosses by George L. Googe, repre-
sentative of the American Fedora
ton of Labor, and Charles L. Rich
ardson, federal conciliator The in
strument used to break the strike
was ROosevelt's Federal Industrial
Control Act.
Under the pretenSe that this strike
breaking bill gives the workers the
right to organize, Googe, Richard
son and the employers forced the
strikers to accept a settlement
which includes not one of the de-
nandS for which the workers have
fought for weeks.
Contingent on Roosevelt
AS a favor" to the workers, the
mill management agreed that the
final settlement of the strike would
be contingent upon the passage OF
the Industrial Control Act" The
settlement provides that there is to
be no discrimination against EN-
ployees who become members of '1eg-
itimate" labor organizations-i.e., OF
company union or local under
the treacherous misleadership of the
A. F. of L. The militant unions OF
the Trade Union Unity League are
needless to say, not Legitimate" ir
the eyes of the mill bosses, with
whom the decision rests as to wheth-
er or not it is permissible for work
ors to join a certain union.
Defied Militia
The strike of the Utica mill work
ers was against a ten per cent cut
in the wages of 81 to So week fol-
SIS hours, and particularly vicious
stretch-out system. The workers
have defied the national guard, load
ed machine guns, and carefully
guarded scabS.
The sell-out of these workers is
the first fruit of the Roosevelt In
dustrial Bill in the South.

used by Sadie Berg, who will be tried
this Monday with Irving Hartmen
and Bertha Friedman at the Penn
sylvania and Liberty Avenue Court,
Brooklyn, for having taken part in
a demonstration for relief at a Home
Relief Bureau.
The decision to use defense
follows upon the dismissal of charges
against Irving Dolb, secretary of the
Brownsville Unemployed Council
and suspended sentences for three
other workers when leaflets were
issued and an announcement made
that the workers would demand jury
trials and conduct their own defense.
Rather than give the arrested worker
the chances to defend themselves
and expose their frame-up and CAPT.
talist class justice before g crowded
court room, the presiding judge freed
them.
The International Labor Defense,
whose lawyers assisted the arrested
workers, issued a statement on the
policy of self-defense, saying, in part:
Workers Aecusers
Workers must lose their awe Of
capitalist courts. They must face the
court and judge not as accused but
as accusers. They must demand the
right to jury trial and show their
workingclass courage by exposing the
nature of the capitalist frame-up
system through speeches made by
them in self-defense. BY so doing
they rally workers to the courtroom
to support them and become accusers
against the entire capitalist class in
stead of facing the court as culprits.
The I. L. d. policy of self defense has
been proven a more effective weapon
than legal defense for the release of

Owing to the indignation running

originally intended, but made the

Big VICTORY WON
B BUFFALO
IRON STRIKERS

BUFFALO, N. Y, June 16.-After
two day strike, 450 workers of the
North Buffalo Hardware and Stand
ard Foundries compelled the bosses
to withdraw the % and half to
81 per cent deduction from every
dollar earned, to. recognize the shop
committee which is to represent
every department in the two shops
and to promise no discrimination
against the strikers. The gains
achieved were a tremendous victory
for the strikers.
The splendid spirit of unity among
the workers was evidenced in the
action taken to have the strike COM
nittee Of IL act as the shop COM
nlittee until the next meeting Of al
the workers when the union will be
set up. Recognition of the shop
committee practically means recog-
milton of the union as the men are
now signing up rapidly with the
Metal Workers Industrial Union.

have been getting short each week.
That's why they favor the loan.
This is one of the first steps taken
in Rochester to put into effect the
policy Of the National Recovery Act,
because, as Mr.. Holtz's statement
shows, the bosses and union officials
planned this out on the basis Of
Roosevelt's proposals.
So you can see, fellow workers,
while We starve the officials of the
union get their salaries and the
bosses make their profits, and they
do all this in the name of pros
perity."
Opposition Movement Needed
Fellow workers, it's about time we
get wise to these maneuvers and
build committee of action in each
shop which will deal directly with
the bosses composed of rank and file
workers. Side by side with this we
must build a strong opposition within
the union against the officials and
their policy of betrayal.

Roosevelt, and they were preparing
to reorganize the shops along the
line of the Roosevelt National Recoy-
cry Act.
Boss Tried 1t Once Before
am a worker in Fashion Park
and a member of the Amalgamated
Clothing Workers Union. 1 read a
similar statement year ago in the
same papers. That statement also
promised plenty of work within few
weeks, and that we would work full
time.
But it turned out to be that the
highest week was - to % hours.
Altogether I should say that the first
four weeks after his statement 1
worked 18 hours week. After those
four weeks began to work ten hours
week and this lasted up until six
weeks ago. In the last six weeks I've
only put in ten hours time alto
gether. This is the revival" we were
promised by Mr.. Holtz last year.
Two Wage Cuts
By the way, wages were cut twice
first a general 10 per cent cut-and
then the workers in the overcoat
shop got a II per cent cut on top
coats and lightweight overcoats.
There are two shops, Shop ia is a
Sackcoat shop and lib is the over
coat shop. The so-called defenders
of the workers interests, the Anal
gamated Union officials, use the
sackcoat shop workers against the
oEercoat shop workers The light
weight overcoats and topcoats are
always made in an oYercoat shop.
Union Officials Help To Cut Wages
These workers defenders" allowed
Z the bosses to send the topcoats to the
,saekcoat shop with the understand
ing that if the workers of the over
coat shop did not take u percent
cut, the topcoats would be made N
the sackcoat shop. Through this
scheme they demoraized the spirit
Of the workers.
Boss Forces Loan From Workers
Now in regard to the statement of
this year Mr.. Holtz said the bosses
we're working along the line proposed
in the National Recovery Act. Just
before this statement appeared in
the capitalist press, the bosses de-
manded Is per cent loan from the
workers, and because the officials of
the A c. w. A. are always ready to
accommodate the bosses, they easily
got it.
Loan Returned to Union officials
If the bosses borrow from bank
they have to pay per cent and
guarantee to pay back the loan. But
the Is per cent which we loaned to
- bosses is not guaranteed by them
c. anyone else. If they should hap
pen to make any profit, then they
give Is per cent to the union officials.
Before they give to workers the en-
tire sum that they had loaned to the
bosses, the officials see to it that the
dues of SITS per month come out
first. The union officials are very in
terested in seeing that the dues are
paid.
Due to the lack of work in the
shops, the workers have only aver
aged SIS to Sc a week, which is not
enough to live on. Regardless of this,
the officials only desire is to see to it
that the workers pay dues so that
they can get their big salaries, of
which the lowest is $43.75 a week.
OficiaIs Collect Dues in Spite of
Low Wages
The organizers have been receiving
only about As per cent of their reg
ular salary of about $50 week. This
is because. the workers can't pay
dues But when the officials receive
the rs per cent of the profits which
is supposed to pay back the workers
loan, all of these officials will get in
