BY NJ. T. GOLDBERG

Twelve thousand shoe makers are
engaged in struggle for the last
ten weeks against starvation, and
the right to organize. Six thousand
are back in the factories working
under union conditions. Six thousand
are still out in the street.
In the last four years Of the crisis,
wages have been cut from $50 to $12
for 60-hour week. The worst form
OF espionage exists in the factories,
particularly in the Board of Trade"
shops. The Board of Trade kept
up a special office with spies, and
stool pigeons. They also kept names
and addresses of workers who were
somehow or other connected with a
union. In this way the bosses always
knew a worker who applied for a
job.
Racket and Company Union
In the larger factories the bosses
established their own Union" Those
Union Shops" served many pur-
poses. The officials of the Union
Shops were chosen by the bosses.
They collected dues every week and

Industrial Union Hall Wednesday
night, Oct. 49, Axtell was debating
with Roy B. Hudson on the question
1.-THE Soviet Union and the N.R.A."
Axtell laid great emphasis on his
own part in freeing the seamen"
under the Seamen's Act, passed in
1915. and said he hoped the same
tegalistic methods would bring Ameri-
can seamen to conditions as good
as those ON Soviet ships" Axtell
said that radicals had undermined
the seamen's faith in their old lead
ers and the I.S.U." and that was re-
sponsible for bringing the wages
down from their war level, the thigh
est real wage seamen ever got"
That the seamen disagreed with
Axtell was obvious from the thunder
OF applause that greeted Hudson, Ma
tional Secretary of the M. w. I. u,
when he said that the seanen had
rejected the I. S. U. because of the
treachery and sellout tactics in the
1921 strike and afterWard. Hudson
read from the 1. S. U. Convention
minutes, to show the scabby tactics
of the I. S. u, which endorsed the
British National Union Of Seamen
for its scabbing on the General Strike
in 1926 Hudson also read from a
pamphlet the signed statements of
Andrew Furuseth, saying he had
"cleansed" the union of $4,000 mill
tant workers, and had offered to
point these workers out SO the ship
owners could blacklist them. The
shipoWners later used this list, but
the seamen, 100000 of them, left the
I. S. U. as a result.
Axtell spoke at considerable length
ON the Soviet Union, saying that al
though the workers owned the land
and industries of Russia, they were
the creatures of the machines" and
had no freedom" In this country
he said, the workers were free, free
to quit job, free to speak, and free
to move.
Axtell was visibly taken aback
when Hudson read from the hostile
N U. s. BRITISH Seaman" a de-
scrlpt.oA CT the wonderful conditions
aboard q Soviet ship, and compared
it to the rotten fcc'sles, food and
working conditions on American
ships.
Axse1 later said that he "hopec
to make American seamen's condi-
tic1- as coed as those on the Soviet
ship by continuing his present
ms eos Of fighting" for improve
mcns5 while guaranteeing the right
OF ire capitalists to exploit labor.
hudson showed that the N. R. A
VS. designed to strengthen the power
Of the capitalists and to bind the
workers even more thoroughly ir
their power. He concluded by urging
the seamen not to wait for the I.S.U.
Axtell and the government to fiz
the N. R. A. like a yoke on theiI
necks but to take action now to wiz
the demands set forward in Their
code.
He called ON the workers to build
their rank and file action committees
to fight for better conditions ano
better wages on the ships, organize
their own rank and file delegations
to go to Washington to fight for a
real workers code for the marine
industry.

Farm Leader Scores
Milk Code As Trap
for Small Farmers
Pen n S ylvania Code
R etains All Old
Determinations

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 22-Sharp
criticism of the proposed new Milk
Code was made public today by
Lewis C. Bentley, President Of the
United Farmers Protective Associa-
ton.
Bentley an outstanding leader of
the farmers in the Philadelphia Milk
shed. where the whole farming pop
ulation is Up in rebellion against the
gouging Of the Milk Trusts, declared
chat "the proposed milk code evades
I'll the fundamental issues which
concern the farmer at the present
moment, the issues of the ruinous
"oasic surplus" plan, and the issue
Of consumer price"
Attacking the Committee of the
Allied Producers Association, a
group Of rich farmers, which is try
ing to confuse and delay the mass
resentment of the farmers, Bentley
declared that while these people are
trying to deprive the farmers of their
fundamental right to strike, while
they are trying to continue all the
old discrimination against the small
farmers, farms are being foreclosed,
and the POOR farmers are being driven
deeper into poverty"
The Philadelphia milk farmers are
organizing for higher prices for their
milk, and for lower prices for the
consumers in the cities. A United
Front Committee has been formed
with workers in Philadelphia.

Mass Picketing Swells
Jewelry Strike Ranks

NEW YORK.-The jewelry strike
continued to spread Friday, when
mass picketing succeeded in closing
down the j. r. Woods shop. The
workers Of the Crysler shop, one of
the largest watch and bracelet shops,
joined the walkout and workers in
many other shops are coming out
on strike.
Garcia, the local union president.
reported the results of negotiations
with the bosses at the strike meeting
on Wednesday and declared that the
following points had been conceded:
Time and half for overtime, scales
Of 81, SLIPS and $3.50 an hour for dia-
mond settlers working on a week
work basis. The bosses remain Stub
borl1ly opposed to the four weeks
trial clause, but the workers are
preparing to stay out on strike until
the bosses are compelled to yield.
Garcia and the rank and filters ad-
dressing the meeting warned the
5000 striking jewelers. to intensity
their mass picketing TO assure a COM
plete victory.

the bosses were the trustees. The
prices of the workers were handed
down by these union officials. Work
ers were hired and fired by the same
officials. Those workers who paid
weekly wages in the form Of graft
to these officials received their share
of work, those who refused to pay
graft would lose their share of work
and job. The I. Miller Shop in l.. I.
was classical example of such COM
pany "Union" shops.
In 1929 the government was direct
ing the attack against the young
union known as the Independent
Shoe Workers Union" This was the
first signal for the manufacturers to
put chains on the shoe workers. They

TRANSACTIONS ON THE NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE SU%
Heavy Selling, Which Brought

After Rally.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.
Special Dispatch to The star.

Special Dispatch to The star
NEW YORK, June 13-Twice during
today's session the stock market was
unsettled by large-scale realizing, once
in the first hour and again in the last.
Between times it forged ahead intA new
high ground.
Among the stocks that made new
N. Y. Central, u S. Steel common,
American Telephone, General Motors
and General Electric. Some of these
passed their old resistance points only
by small fractions and all of them came
down in the late selling, which left the
market somewhat lower at the close.
Comodities Irregular.
Commodities were irregular. Wheat
closed 12 to 3 cents lower and cotton
was unable to make progress Sugar
futures sold off. The dollar rallied but
was unable to hold all its gains.
Selling predcminated all through the
frst hour and prices were down from
fractions to 2 and points. Offerings
came from those desirous of realizing
after Mondays sharp advance and
from spectators for the decline who
thought they saw chance to scalp q
point or two on the downside. Volume
was too large for the tape to keep up
weak
When these offerings had been ab-
sorbed, however, it was found that no
important liquidation had been forced
and the list began slowly to rally under
the leadership of the railway shares.
Inc largest gains were made by the
higher-priced stocks. Delaware Ss Hud-
son and Union Pacific, the former es-
tablishing new years high. Atchison
was strong and most of the rails
were up.
May earning statements are due to
appear shortly and judging from the
traff1c statistics they ought to make
favorable comparisons with those of a
year ago. Chesapeake g. Ohio reported
load1ngs for the week ended June 10
we're 28.8 per cent ahead of its total
Sentiment Confused.
The gold stocks held out all through
the early selling. Dome Mines was
again the leader, up over a point and
within fraction of its previous high.
These stocks have not advanced COM
mensurate with the depreciation of the
dollar, but that is because they had
so large a speculative following and
because their technical position was
impaired
Sentiment in the Street was much
confused. On general principles it was
felt that the market was entitled to a
corrective movement on larger propor-
tions than anything yet seen. On the
other hand, the prospect of additional
imitation provided sustaining inf1l-
ence.
The weekly report of the Federal Re-
serve member banks was notable for
its disclosure that commercial loans
had not increased as had loans on Sc
curities. This confirms advices from
the interior that the banks are still
restricting credit for business purposes.
When they are willing and able to
revise this policy it will be an -indica-
ton OF trade revival from the most
significant source.
