Liberal" OWNERS OF CONSUMERS
COOP PAY STARVATION WAGES
Part-Time Employment and Wage-Cuts Give
Lie to Boards Claim of "Highest Wages"

Actually. commercial restaurants
pay dishwashers 81 to $15 a week,
and in those organized by the Food
Workers Industrial Union they are
paid $18 for a 48-hour week. In
these Co-operatives, however, a dish
washer is taken on in the middle of
the day for five days a week, for
which he gets at the most ST. His
hours make it impossible for him to
get additional work. This part time
practice is never mentioned by the
Cooperative.
Holidays and sickness further cut
down this minimum wage. There is
a so-called sick benefit, but its pro-
visions are so complicated that only
the management can understand it.,
and workers rarely benefit from it.
To kill opposition from the work
ers certain of them have been given
part-time work, instead of being
fired, but their wages come from re-
ductions in the wages of others do
ing the same work When the oppo-
sition dies out these part-time work
ers are let go, and the others never
get back their old wages.
The members are under the illu-
sion that when the consumers own
the restaurants and apartment
houses, capitalism will disappear
without the necessity OF a revolu-
tion.

trial Union here at the termination
of nine-day strike.
Originally called to demand that

went to New Brunswick after a COM
mittee- of the strikers asked aid Of
the T. U. U. L.
Fisher and many of the strikers
were threatened with arrest several
times, but the solid front presented
by the workers forced the boss to
grant Is and 10 per cent wage in
creases; Is per cent to workers re-
ceiving less than 80 cents per hour
and 10 per cent to those receiving
over 30 cents.
Union officers were elected and a
broad shop committee established, at

the T. U. U. L., received a great
ovation for the aid given to the

FAIL TO BREAK
Ell MONTE STRIKE

Ell MONTE, Cal.--More than 5000
agricultural workers in San Gabriel
Valley, Orange County and the beach
cities, Venice and Santa Monica are
still on strike, in spite of the efforts
by the Mexican Cice Consul Hill and
Fitzpatrick, the Roosevelt mediator
sent from Washington to force them
to surrender to a sell-out agreement.
Hundreds flocked to the fields in
answer to an ad placed by the ranch
ers offering / cent a box to all those
who wanted to pick berries. But the
Mexican workers in Ell Monte or
ganized their picketing committees
and pulled out over 100 workers on
one of the ranches. One worker who
refused to move when the police dis
persed the pickets was arrested and
badly beaten.
Mexican Consul Active
Hill and his lieutenant, Flores,
have again appeared to warn the
workers to stay away from the "reds"
and he will obtain assistance for
them from the Mexican government.
He has stopped all efforts Of the In
ternational Labor Defense to defend
the arrested workers, although the
workers themselves have demanded
that the l. L. D. be permitted to
enter the cases.
Leaflets distributed by the Agrieul-
ttlral Workers Industrial Union, ex-
posing the consul's role and the in
tentions of Fitzgerald, have had
wide effect in the strike area.
Hundreds of thugs, mobilized by
the Los Angeles sheriff, guard the
roads to the camps,

DEMOCRATS AND

MEANING OF '4TH'
Workers Can Benefit
By Slavery Act, Say
Socialists

NEW YORK.-Fourth of July was
celebrated in and around Union
Square by Tammany Hall-the polit-
ical breeding of President Roose-
velt-and by the Socialist Party OF
New York. In the Tammany wig
wan, Just off Union Square, the
Democratic speakers, including both
Senator Royal s. Copeland and
Mayor John O'Brien, told of the
wonders of the Roosevelt slavery pro-
gram. Outside, the Socialists told
the workers the benefits" that the
workers could gain under the Roose-
velt industrial recovery" act.
Five hundred socialists and sympa-
thizers gathered in an independence
Day meeting on Union Square.
William Karlin, former Socialist
Assemblyman, stated that workers
could obtain higher wages and less
unemployment from the 30-hour week
provisions In the bill. He said that
the bill as whole was an effort to
support capitalism, but the workers,
if they followed the Socialist Party,
could derive many benefits from it.
He neglected to give any further
directions for getting these benefits.

men stood listlessly about as speak

and shouted against "all forms of
Dictatorship Former Judge Jacob
Panken was not sure whether my
friend, President Roosevelt" was a
state Socialist" or not, but was sure
that the governments policy led di-
rectly to the establishment of state
Socialism. August Claessens blamed
most of the evils of the present sys-
tenn on what he called ''industrio-
cracy." He did not bother to define
the term. Most of the other evils
were blamed by other speakers on
Tammany Hall.
Other speakers, in referring to Ne
gro discrimination, spoke of the
Herndon case, without mentioning
Angelo Herndon's name, and to the
Scottsboro boys, without referring to
the International Labor Defense and
it's efforts to free the boys.
The meeting ended with an
apathetic singing OF the "Interna-
tionale."
War Vets Rally
Two hundred and fifty Negro and
white veterans met in a spontaneous
meeting in Union Square after the
Socialists had finished their 'Inde-
pendence Day" meeting. Speakers
from the Workers Ex-Service-
mems League condemned Roosevelt's
New Dear' and showed how 1t meant
misery and starvation for the vet
Grams. The meeting condemned the
Industrial Recovery" Bill, and
shouted their support of the German
workers N their struggle against
Fascisln.
Speakers condemned the Socialist
speakers of the previous meeting
especially Judge Jacob Panxen, for
not advocating unemployment in
surance, but supporting the empty
promises of the Roosevelt govern
ment.
Money was collected to send tele-
gram to Roosevelt, protesting against

RETAIL STORE CODE CUTS
WAGES BY HUNGER RATES
Director of Bloomingdale Bros, Member o.
Industrial Advisory Board

employers on the code might be
cited.
Employers Well Satisfied.
The employers are thoroughly sat-
isfied because it was they who
drafted the code openly and without
pretense that they were considering
the workers. Such men as Percy S.
Straus of R. H. Macy & Co. sat on
the code committee. And represen-
tatives of William Filene's Sons Co.,
in Boston, and of Abraham & Straus,
Inc, in Brooklyn, were among those
reviewing" the code.
Straus and his brother, Jessie L.,
likewise an official of the Macy
store, contributed together some
$25 600 to the Roosevelt election cam
paign chest and are high up in the
councils of the Roosevelt adminis-
tration. The latter is in fact the
new Rooseyelt-appointed ambassador
to France They, too, approve the
code for it will benefit only them.
R. H. Macy & Co., which is reported
to have laid off 5000 workers in one
blow after a recent Christmas sea-
son, pays wages as little as $40 and
less a week. For this reason it has
been able to show net profit of
So $50 900 in the fourth year of the
crisis, 1882. 1t paid dividends of
SO 100000 for 1882 and in the last
two years has paid $8,000,000 in cash
and $5,000000 in stock dividends. No
greater evidence of whom the code
will benefit is needed than the ap-
proval of the code by such exploit
ers.
Another Roosevelt official, Louis e.
KRISTEN, member of the Industrial
Advisory Board set up under the Re-
covery Act, is director of such de-
partment stores as B,oomingdale
Bros, B. Forman & Co., Abraham &
Straus, Inc, and official of william
Filene's Sons Co. 1t is such close
Roosevelt advisors and millionaire
department store owners who, after
drafting the anti-labor codes, then go
through the formality Of endorsing
and approving" them.
Hypocrisy can go no further than
that achieved by the Filene store Of
ficials. Thus Edward A. Filene, So
called liberal employer, advocated a
minimum wage of s25 a week in re-
tail stores, according to an article in
Nations Business, November, 1880.
At the same time salesgirls were be-
ing cut from $40 to S12 and $40 in
| his store, and girls employed in the
store bank we're told they'd have to
| take S12 week instead of the $35
they were making previously! SIM
ilarly, Filene prattles of high wages,
better conditions and the rest, while
his fellow official KRISTEN, is busy
on codes which slash wages to as
little as &c.
AS for the right to organize and
bargain collectively through repre-
sentatives of their own choosing"
allegedly guaranteed to workers un-
.der the retail code, this also consti-
flutes an attack upon the workers,
For such liberal employers as FL
lene and KRISTEN have for years had
a company union in their Boston
store. And KRISTEN, under cover of
his recovery act post, will undoubt-
edly see to it that such provisions
are continued-that the employers
are protected" through company
unions"
The retail code as announced is
without doubt one of the most
vicious plans yet attempted under
the Recovery Act. 1t aims the fur
ther enslavement of retail store
workers.
