A. T. |. Shoe Union
Heads Seek to Break
The BrOCktOn Strike
Brotherhood Leaders
Discourage Real Strike

BROCKTON, Mass, Sept. 25-The
strike of the Brockton shoe workers
involving nearly 5000 continues
strong after the unanimous decision
of the strikers to reject the proposals
of the MIRA. National Labor Advis-
DRY Board.
The boards decision would have
forced the strikers back to their jobs
with the check-off of the IS cents
weekly dues continued and held in
escrow until final decision is made
as to which union the workers shall
belong. A decision of the National
Labor Advisory Board is expected
within few days.
Meanwhile the local boss press Is
preparing the sentiment of the strik-
ers for the return of the Boot and
Shoe Union. A local paper devotes a
whole page of recent issue to the
offer submitted by the Boot and Shoe
Union to the MIRA. A F. of L. Off
Gals of the Boot and Shoe Union are
assisting the shoe manufacturers to
recruit scabs and break the strike in
several shops which are trying to OPP
crate. But the strikers are determined
to rid themselves of the corrupt Off
Gals and the Boot and Shoe Union.
They support the Brotherhood, a
newly formed organization controlled
by a local politician, Goodwin, who is
chiefly interested in gaining recog-
milton of the union.
Great militancy prevails among
the strikers, who want to develop a
real struggle but are being held back
by the Brotherhood officials. Thus
far no demands have been raised in
the strike dealing with the improve
ment of the workers conditions, and
mass picketing is discouraged. What
ever picketing Is carried on is called
observing" since the word picket
ing" is taboo.
In letter to the manufacturers
Brotherhood officials declare that
they have organized their own union
and will not accept dictation or in
reference from the manufacturers
regarding the union they wish to
join. The letter appeals to the manu-
4dCGuIeIS LOT recognition, assuring
them that the workers will be faith
full, loyal employees" you are the
only ones who can settle it." the Off
Gals of the Brotherhood declare. The
strikers recognize, however, that their
solidarity and continued struggle will
settle the strike and are determined
to continue the strike to rid them
selves of the A. F. of L.
Pressure of the rank ana file forced
the Brotherhood to establish a unior
relief committee of 100 members last
week, and the entire city is to be can.

Shoe Strikers Voice
Loyalty to Union At
the NRA Conference
Bosses Fail to Appear
At "Mediation" Meet

NEW YORK.-A delegation of 20
shoe strikers of the Shoe and Leather
Workers Industrial Union met at the
MIRA. headquarters yesterday at the
call Of Henry W. Wolff, chairman Of
the Labor Mediation Committee, who
had arranged the meeting for the
purpose Of "mediating" the strike.
The shoe manufacturers openly
flouted the invitation of the MIRA.
mediator and refused to send their
representatives They declared that
they would have nothing to do with
a Communist Union, and made the
old time worn threat that they would
move out of town rather than con-
cede to the demands of the Shoe
and Leather Workers Industrial
Union.
Wolff made the proposal that the
strikers accept an agreement in which
all demands are granted except rec
ignition of the union, the latter de-
mand to be left to the N. r. A. in
washington to determine. Fred Bic
denkapp, secretary of the union, left
the reply to the members of the de-
legation. One by one they emphatic
ally declared their support and loyal
ty of the Shoe and Leather Workers
Industrial Union.
when we struck, we made our
choice from among the shoe unions
in the city and We chose the In
dustrial Union and its leadership I'M
animously," said the chairman of the
general strike committee of the 1.
Miller Co. Frank Costello, another
delegate, declared he was not a Com
munist but that the bosses are max
ing him one. I'm all the years of
experience in the trade unions" he
declared, Il have never known any
union so sincere and devoted to the
working class as this union"
All the delegates attacked the Boot
and Shoe Union. Louis Boudin, at
torney for the Industrial Union, de-
clared that Whalen's statement in
the press has been detrimental to the
workers and that he encouraged the
shoe manufacturers to take out in
functions when he publicly declared
that recognition of the Shoe and
Leather Workers Industrial Union
would be treason to the government.
The delegates of the Boot and Shoe
Union and the National Shoe Union,
whom Biedenkapp exposed as repre-
senting altogether no more than $50
shoe workers, left the conference de-
claring they had nothing to say.
Wolff declared that he would call
on the shoe manufacturers to meet in
conference again. He admitted that
the sentiment of the strikers was for
the industrial union.

Dubinsky Railroads
Another Sell-Out Of
Underwear Workers

NEW YORK. The deal negotiated
by Mr.. Dubinsky of the International
Ladies Garment Workers Union and
the whit goods manufacturers
through the NR.A., was read to the
strikers yesterday at strike meetings
at Beethoven, Arlington and Webster
halls.
1.-THE terms of the settlement grant
far less to the workers than the de-
mands for which they struck. Not
only are the wage scales agreed to
lower than the demands raised, but
the work is classified into cheaper
and higher grades allowing Is per
cent reduction to those workers en-
ployed on cheaper grades of work.
For example, the minimum wage of
$26 for operators, for which the strik-
ers fought, was reduced to $21 by the
agreement. The working week is to be
3712 hours instead of the IS hours
demanded.
The workers showed bitter resent
ment when they heard the terms of
the settlement. One worker was Sc
verely beaten when she rose from
the floor to question the decision. At
ter raising the red scare" and in
timidating the workers with the
threat of long strike, the meeting
was adjourned with no vote taken.
At a meeting held by the Needle
Trades Workers Industrial Union,
many workers of Local 81 came to
discuss the strike settlement. More
than 1000 strikers present rejected
the settlement and voted to continue
the strike. Members of Local 81 de-
clared they would fight to have the
agreement withdrawn. The meeting
adjourned with the strikers united to
continue struggle.

like the Army's stand and
persistency. There is no reason
why the boys at the post cannot
see the beetle ears perform with
out asking Baltimore. And If
the civs want to come in there
should be no reason why the
athletic fund should not be in
creased by permitting them to
dig up their shin-plasters.
The only sufferer, as I see it. is the
Maryland State Athletic Commission
which loses 10 per cent If the shows
are permitted. And If these gentle
men devoted more time in promoting
more clubs. and less in bemoaning the
state of affairs in the sour science in
their bailiwick there would be no need
for paying much attention to Fort
Washington.
Yet there is an argument for the
honorable commissioners. In taking
promoters 10 per cent they promise
protection against infringement on his
trade. Mr.. Cornell is holding them
to that promise.
