Doll Workers Gust Reds
And Organize Real Union
Employees of Trenton Plant Overcome Violent Commu-
mist Opposition in Spectacular Warfare Join A. F.
of L. and Gain Decent Wages and Working Con-
ditiOns

The Regal plant was sweatshop
enough when the trouble started. 1t
has gone through the communist
destructive stage and now goes back
into operation under a union agree
ment, with a decent wage and with
the old work period of two to three
months extended to nine or ten
months.
Union Crusade Wins
The trade union battle to win the
plant for unionism was more like old
fashioned union crusading than any
thing that has happened in years.
The union members have had to liter
ally fight for their right to belong to
union. And more than once Presi-
dent Marciante has had to lead his
union committee into fist combat to
protect new union members from as
saults by reds.
1t was the Regal plant exposure
that started what has now become
an almost nationwide crusade against
sweatshops. Union labor in Trenton
placed the facts before the country
at the outset, but could not win un-
ionism in the plant at the time. The
reds sailed in and won out temporarily
with over-ripe promises, lies and
hokum which was taken at face value
by desperate workers who knew little
of the significance of any movement
of workers, red or otherwise.
Bad Blow to Reds
The defeat Of the communists in
this plant, after long campaign in
which education has played leading
part, is one of the most significant
victories won by unionism in long
time. 1t is a serious blow to the
buster and pretense of the reds.

II. s. Workers Protest
Milk and Rent Prices

Washington, D. C. (ILNS)-Pro-
tests against the high costs of milk
and rents in Washington were made
at mass meeting held by the Dis
trict of Columbia department of the
American Federation of Government
Employees. The speakers included
Leo E. George, president of the Ma
tional Federation of Post Office
Clerks, Senator Arthur Capper, of
Kansas and Representative Jennings
Randolph, of West Virginia. Resolu-

tions in the cost of housing and rent.
Endorsing the movement for lower
milk prices, Senator Capper told the
meeting that Washington is paying
a higher retail price for milk than
most cities.

"Old Order" on Death Bed
SOME WAGE
Increases Not What They
Seem

Indianapolis, Ind (ILNS)-Some of
these wage increases which certain
employers have been trumpeting
through the press have a "cheesy''
smell, as one worker puts it. He said
that conditions had been misrepre-
sented to the public in several in
stances.
The R. P Mallory plant here gave
its employees a 1914 per cent wage
increase on April and again on
May l, and the fact was duly herald
ed. 1t happens that the increase was
not an increase of 25 per cent, but
merely the cut taken from the work
ers in January.
1t also developed that the Mallory
Company, according to its employees,

cut in one of its departments since
May l. The company manufactures
electrical appliances. In the elkonode
and condenser departments some of
the girls employed work u to 18
hours day to make 81 to $1.50.
However, there is an indication of
an upward swing of wages in this
section. If commodity prices start on
an upswing wages will have to keep
pace or else numerous strikes will be
called. Workers say they will not
temporize or be the goat.

luton, generally wondering under

comes law
With labor's endorsement and with
the endorsement of organized en-
ployers. the bin is marching rapidly
toward final enactment.

industry will come under the COM
plete control of President Roosevelt,

Johnson as his administrator. Gem
eral Johnson, like Farm Administra-
tor Peeke, is known as a Barney Ba-

seems destined to play heap big role
in the new dictatorship, with one lieu
tenant in charge of industry, while
another dominates farming. Some
are already wondering just where the
"poWer house" will be-all of which
is more or less a side issue as com
pared to the main fact that the new
legislation will completely change the
control of American industry, put
Individual decision in the ice box and
enthrone governmental authority in
every factory.
Outlawing of Strikes Seen
Labor has proposed an amendment
to the bill, introduced by Senator
Wagner, to clarity labor's right to
organize The bill as first drafted
would actually have made it crime
to insist upon a union shop. If the
precise language of labor's amend
ment is not adopted, at least COM
promise is expected.
But even under the amendment
there are many, including both law
yers and labor men, who believe
strikes will be absolutely outlawed
under the new legislation.
Labor is accepting the drastic pro-
visions of the bill, undoubtedly, as a
means of escape from the control of
bankers and in the belief that the die
tatorial power of the presidency is the
only power strong enough to grapple
with Wall street and throw aside the
! tremendous interlocking directorate
that heads up in the great banks of
the Grand Canyon of Finance. The
Connery bill, with its proposal to con-
1rol industry through democratic
methods has been abandoned on the
main ground that it could not be en-
acted with administration opposition.
Law May Have Long Life
The presidential control will con-
tinue for two years, under the terms
of the Wagner bill, but there is no
lack of those who more or less laugh
at the two-year limitation, on the
theory that such machine as must
result from the Wagner bill is not
going to suddenly cease to exist at
the end Of stated time

Trenton, N. j. (1LNS)-Four hun
dred workers have gone back to work
in the Regal Doll Factory, largest
doll-making plant in America, organ
lied in American Federation of Labor
unions, after year of warfare to
oust the communists who organized
the plant in 1882.
The warfare has been spectacular,
the gains to the workers from genu-
inc union organization tremendous.
Outstanding credit for the heroic
achievement goes to Louis Maciante,
president of the Central Labor Union
and one of the best known and ablest
trade unionists in New Jersey.
A year ago the reds organized the
plan. Sick of the outfit, Harry Fried
man, president of the plant, this year
asked the A. F. of L. to come in and
form real unions.
Reds Fight Union
The company established an office
in the American Mechanics building
for use of the organizers. Mrs. Srmidi
Crescent, William Talon and others
served as an organizing committee,
representing the c. L. u These un-
ionists enrolled members of the new
union while communists picketed the
building outside.
Police were called to quell red dis
turbances several times. When work
was resumed at the factory last week
after long shutdown the reds staged
riot. Thirteen communists were ar
rested. Five got 80 days, among
them being Buck Olden, long red
agitator and trouble-starter in Tren-
ton.

Measure Makes President
Dictator of All Industry
Labor Urges Amendment to Clarity Workers Right to
Organize, But Even With Amendment Many Hold
Strikes Will BE Outawed Under Administration Pro-
gram.

Meanwhile wonderment as to just
what will happen when the measure
becomes law continues, with a rising
tide of interest as the magnitude of
the proposal soaks in generally. There
is plenty in the bill to make it clear
that the trade association is to be
the unit of operation among employ
ers. There is no assurance of any
kind that the trade union will become
the unit of operation among work
ers. Under labor's proposed amend
ment the right to organize will be
clearly stated, if the amendment is
adopted, but it is fully realized that
there is still a long road to complete
organization Of workers in all indus
stries and collective bargaining
throughout the field.
Trade Associations Ready
Perhaps an inkling of what may be
coming, causing many labor men
much worry at the outset, is the an
nouncement that number of trade
associations are ready for the new
Jaw, with codes of practice and wage
agreements ready to file with the
president or his administrator. Among
the industries announcing this pre-
paredness is the steel industry! II
the steel industry is ready to file wage
agreements with its employees, then
surely unions are not in the picture
to any appreciable degree.
One of the best direction pointers
just now is found in the utterances of
persons close to the president. These
hold that the president is fired with
"a new sense of duty" as the result
of which he holds that the state has
responsibility to see to it that all
things run properly.
"Old Order" on Death Bed
This conception is undoubtedly ex-
pressed in the Wagner bill, soon to
/ become law. Under its terms the "old
order" passes completely from the
stage The era born with the coming

Il has been predicted with the new

an epidemic OF grand slam bidding.
This might be true in rubber bridge.
but the new duplicate code announc-
ed by the American Bridge league
and the new pivot and progressive
code which will be announced Feb. /,
1888, both provide for the old grand
slam bonuses-in other words, at du-
plicate and party bridge q grand slam
not vulnerable Is worth 1000, q vul-
nerable grand slam is still worth
$500, while at rubber bridge the new
laws provide $500 for q not vulner-
able grand slam and 2,250 for q vul-
nerable grand slam.
In duplicate tournament play there
are few grand slams bid as the bet
ter player feels that he has but little
to gain by bidding q grand slam, es-
pecially II it is in any way doubtful.
Generally II you bid for and make q

Let us talk and think about the

disappointments and its tragedies,
has become history. 1t can do no
good to recount them here.
Let me cite the action of Churchill
Downs in maintaining the value OF
the Kentucky Derby at $4,000 add
ed. This is the first and most his
toric of the stakes for three-year-olds
to be decided in the spring. The
interest in this race is not only ma
tional, but worldwide. A reduction
in its value at this time would have
affected every breeder and owner OF
thoroughbred. every race course in
America. and would have surprised
and discouraged every lover OF high
class racing. We felt that We owed
a special duty to the public which
for So years has given the Derby en-
! thusiastic and generous support.
Now for the psychological effect
The response was immediate. Al
though the Kentucky Derby will not
run until May s. We already have
sold more than 500 boxes and there
is every assurance that Churchill
Downs will have one Of the best
meetings in its history.
