While Indianapolis has not been
entirely free of encephalitis, or sleep

epidemic outbreak here such as is
sweeping st. Louis is very slight, it
was stated today by DR.. Herman G.
Morgan, city health officer.
For the last three years" he said,
I'VE have had in the city sporadic
cases of disease which resembles
the outbreak of sleeping sickness in
st. Louis, but the number Of cases
has been diminishing here, instead
of increasing, as in st. Louis
Health board records reveal there
were thirty-three deaths last year
from a disease resembling the st.
Louis outbreak, but thus far this
year there have been only ten
deaths, which, if the same rate is
maintained, would mean only twelve
for the year.
while there is some difference,
perhaps, in both the clinical picture
and meteorological studies DR..
Morgan said, there are many
characteristics in cases occurring
here that are similar to those in st.
Louis.
Apparently the degree of trans
instability of encephalitis is not so
marked as in many other trans
missable and contagious maladies.
The death rate, in comparison
with such diseases as pneumonia,
tuberculosis and infantile paralysis,
is not nearly so high.
Gases which have developed here
in the wake of the spinal menin-
gifts outbreak of three years ago
have not shown the virulency and
high mortality rate which occurred
in true cases of meningitis.
Last year, the encephalitis NOR

The Rank and File Action COM
mittee has issued program and a
code covering the demands of the
workers which will guarantee liy-
ing to all longshoremen. The follow
ing are the principal demands: A
six-hour day, 81 per hour. NO over
time work. Size Of gangs and drafts
to be determined by dock committees
of the workers. Unemployment IN
surance at the expense OF the ship
owners and state.
These demands alone will give jobs
without wage cuts. The Rank ana
File Committee in a statement to the
longshoremen declares that any move
to sell out will be exposed to every
man on the waterfront. An appeal
is made to all longshoremen to form
small groups on each dock to take
up the question of backing the for
going demands. The committee sug-
gests that all workers write to Ryan
and General johnson Of the MIRA,
demanding that the rank and file
code be adopted and the delegates
from the docks be heard at all con-
fererres,

Behind closed doors hand picked
delegates held council with the bosses
and agreed to accept cut in wages.
Ryan himself proposed the 10 cent
reduction compromise as the ship
owners demanded larger cut.
The Coming Agreement
On Sept. 5, 1893, the Atlantic Wage
Conference of the LILA. was held
at 164 18th Ave. Delegates from New
York, Boston, Baltimore, Philadelphia
and other ports were present, most of
whom are paid officials of the AS
ISOLATION. Only few rank and file
delegates participated. AT the out
set, Ryan spoke for two and a half
hours, telling of how the LILA. was
growing and attacking the opposition
within the rank and file. He told
the delegates to kick out of the Or
ganization any one who was radical.
He informed the meeting that he
had met with President Roosevelt
and had agreed to accept the 1929
wage scale This was agreed to by
the delegates and committee elect

of the 10 demands presented. The
local union is still discussing the one
demand not granted.
One of the foremost demands,
which specified that the operators
must recognize the mine committees
of the miners. was Internationally
granted.
Following the conference with the
operators, local meetings we're sched-
uled to place the matter of settlement
before the membership. General
Woods, head Of the National Guard,
permitted them to meet but request
ed that the organizers Of the union
be sent out of the meeting. The min
ers declared the meeting closed and
refused to meet without the organ
izers. They refused to negotiate
with the employers and remained out
on strike. General Woods was forced
to grant permission for the organ
izers to be present at all local meet
ings.
Mr.. Moses, superintendent of Go
merco mine, who is largely respon-
sible for the request for martial law,
is apparently becoming uneasy over
the proposed settlement in the two
mines. Martial law restrictions and

are becoming more marked. Two men

BY H. J. FARMER,

The wage agreement between the
International Longshoremens Asso-
citation and the shipowners, affecting
$4,000 longshoremen expires on Sept.
30. The longshoremen on the At
lantic coast look forward this year to
a new agreement which will give them
a chance to live. They expect an
agreement which will provide jobs for
the "a per cent Of their number who
are unemployed; an agreement which
will mean an increase in the size of
gangs and smaller drafts. They are
hoping for shorter hours and M
creased pay to cover the increased
cost of living. Any agreement which
does not provide these conditions will
not improve the lot of the longshore-
men but on the contrary will mean
only that the workers will again have
been delivered into the hands of the
shipowners and stevedore bosses.
Ryan Sets the Stage
Joseph p. Ryan, President OF the
lila, in his annual Labor Day speech
over the air called ON the workers
to work together with the bosses I'M
der the banner of the MIRA; that
only by such cooperation would the
workers gain the benefits of recovery.
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1933-09-16

What does Ryan mean by this CO.
operation? He means that the long
shoremen should accept whatever the
shipowners are willing to give. This
is borne out by Ryan's record in
previous agreements with the BOSSES
In 1881 he accepted cut in overtime
pay and again in 1892 the longshore-
men had to take cut Of 10 cents
in straight time as well as a further
10 cent cut in overtime. All this as
result of getting together" De-
spite the fact that wages were cut,
gangs cut, drafts increased and an
inhuman speed-up introduced and
workers on the dock Short timed"
Ryan again calls for cooperation. The
executive committee of the lila,
headed by Ryan, has always worked
with the shipowners and bosses
against the interest of the workers.
Here are some facts. On Sept. z,
1892, reporting on the wage confer
ence, the New York Times said,
Ryan told 100 delegates from seven
ports that the LILA. was willing TO
be reasonable The same paper
quoted Ryans Labor Day speech in
which he said Labor has taken
about all the cuts 1t can afford" But
when asked about the longshoremen,
he refused TO say that he would IN
sist on renewal of the 1881 agree

When provocative remarks failed to
force the members into fight, the
right wingers led by Schwartz, an
ex-cloak manufacturer, and assisted
by their thugs gave the signal for
the attack. Hurting chairs and mis-
siles into a mass of workers they
threw the meeting into a turmoil.
The workers, however, gave them no
quarter and giving blow for blow
defended themselves courageously,
preventing a real blood bath. Police
forced the meeting to disperse when
the membership attempted to rally
their forces and continue the meet
ing. A number of workers were in
jured.
The right wing gangster attack on
Local 9 was for the ayoWed purpose
of preparing the ground for the
custer of the left wing administration
of Local voted into Office last year,
by an overwhelming majority of the
members. Since the left wing lead
ers took control of the local, the
ILG.W. officials of the Joint Board
together with the group of former
right wingers in the local have con-
spired to Dust the left administra-
ton. They have barred the local adj
ministration from all negotiations in
connection with the cloak code and
with the recent settlement of the
cloak stoppage.
The latest maneuver was planned
to enable the IL.GW. officials to
enter the situation and to put over
an official custer on the ground that
they are unable to maintain order.
