strikers is for stubborn fight to
win improvements in their conditions.
A tailor must work for to years
before he becomes a first class skilled
worker. Yet wages are no more than
$l6 to $18 a week for this highly
skilled work.
Supporting the tailors in their
fight, the fur workers section of the
union contributed $50 to the strike
fund and has voted to tax each
member 10 cents per week for the
duration Of the strike.
The strike is being waged for the
following demands: Abolition Of home
work. A minimum wage scale of

US. Shipping Board
Chairman Gave Pal
Chance for Graft
O'Connor Was Former
President of mi
Longshoremen

NEW YORK. - Take thousand
dollars in cash, four more in good
will" labor leader" who was chair
man of the U. s. Shipping Board,
play poker, and you can become the
owner Of fleet Of ships.
Henry Herberman, president Of the
Export Line, told his Success" story
to senate investigating committee
Monday. Stating that he knew T.
v. O'Connor for IS years and to play
poker with him held no significance,
Mr.. Herberman is explaining every
thing. Herberman was a longshore-
man boss.
O'Connor was president of the In
ternational Longshoremen's Associa-
ton for years and chairman of the
U. s. Shipping Board for IL years.
He was given the shipping board job
in appreciation Of his betrayals Of
the longshoremen and he handed his
racket over to J. P. Ryan, who car
ries on in the best O'Connor tradi-
tions.
O'Connor and Herberman, pals
since their stevedoring days, made
the rounds in Washington in 1919
and subsequent years. To enable his
pal to stay around, O'Connor saw
that he got $42,000,o 900 worth Of ships
to start his company by paying one
million in worthless paper. Before
accepting the million dollar payment.

1929, was less than 40c an hour, in
which latter case, not less than the
hourly rate on July is, 1929, and in
any event not less than soc an hour"
Sifted, these phrases simply state
that longshoremen's wages will fluc-
tuate between 30 and 40 cents an
hour.
Joseph P. Ryan. president of the
International Longshoremens Asso-
citation announces that the members
of the LILA, voted Monday to ex-
tend the present agreement" This
is the request of the shipping bosses,
who are hammering out the code diff
ferences between themselves.
Ryan has betrayed the men by ex-
tending the present agreement and
has only demanded 10 and 20 cents

mary negotiations. Not word about
smaller slingloads, not word about
larger gangs or for a guaranteed
minimum work week.
The Marine Workers Industrial
Union raises these points in their

ers should throw their support to
these demands which will be pre-

dye and silk employers were given
heavy tax reductions by Murner this
year. Therefore Murner's position Is
a very lucrative one. Pirolo, whom
Keller and Schweitzer brought into
the dyers union, AFL, as leader,
is a servant of the political boss,
Murrer. The United Piece Dye Works
taxes (Which includes the Lodi and

Hinchcliffe, who is supported for re-
election by the dye union (AFL) lead
er, Pirolo, is close friend OF w.
Barbour, u. 8. Senator from New
Jersey and owner of the Barbour
Flax Spinning Mills. Hinchcliffe
stands in closely with the dye and
silk manufacturers. 1t Is well known
that the biggest campaign contrib
utions of both the Republican and
Democratic Parties here come from
the dye and silk manufacturers.
s. P, and Love5toneltes Involved
The U.T.W. leaders also bring into
the strike another bosses party, the
Socialist Party. The Associated has
had Norman Thomas speak at their
strike meetings. Recently Thomas
spoke In both Paterson and Passaic.
He praised not only the UTW lead
ers, but praised President Roosevelt
as we'll, saying that the fault lay not
with Roosevelt but with the Demo-
cratic Party. Thomas praised the
yellow dog coal code as an achieve
ment for the workers. August Claes-
sens, socialist, has also been brought
in to attack the NTWU and support
the UTW.
Another bosses outfit which has
been brought in has been the Love
stoneite group. Eli Keller himself,
who, together with Frank Schweit-
yer, is the chief organizer of the AS
ISOLATED and personally guiding the
AFL dyers union. is national leader
Of the Lovestone party. This UTW
leader, Keller, is responsible together
with Schweitzer, for the disgraceful

because it gave the workers nothing
The Communist Party had been the
only party supporting the rank and

SANTA FEE, New Mexico. - War

for the first two weeks Of the Gallup
strike were honored at the state

revelation has brought howl from
every newspaper in the state which
condemn the use OF the troops In

papers visualize the eventual cost
soaring to 100000 unless the troops
are taken out Immediately.
In an editorial the albuquerque Tri-

q. The state, at Governor Selig-

$4,000 Of the taxpayers money to

to rush troops into a peaceful town

1900 Hear Benjamin
in Northwestern
City

SEATTLE, Wash, Sept. 20. - An
initiative and referendum petition
drive will be launched here in jan
uary, for the purpose of presenting
the Workers Unemployment Insur-
ance Bill for adoption by the
legislature. This is the first state
where such a drive is being started,
The campaign will be conducted by
the Central Federation of the IN
employed Citizens League, which is
affiliated to the National Committee
Of the Unemployed Councils.
The adoption of the Workers IN
employment Insurance Bill would
provide a set income based on pre-
vailing wages in respective industries"
to every unemployed worker, the
minimum to be paid being 1910 per
week for every adult, plus 50 for
each dependent" If adopted by the
state it is to be effective until a
federal program OF Unemployment in
surance is launched.
The decision to start this campaign
was reached following a tour OF
Herbert Benjamin, national organizer
of the Unemployed Councils to this
territory. A meeting on Sept. % in
this city, addressed by Benjamin was
attended by 1900 people.
Previously meeting was held OF
the Central Federation at which Ben
jamin spoke. After lengthy dis
cussion the decision was reached un-
animously to affiliate with the I'm
employed Councils.
The Unemployed League here is
the Oldest in the country. Previously
it acted as a "self-help" organiza-
ton. Serving as an adjunct to the
capitalist relief organizations. Hay
ing aided in the election of Mayor
Dore, it found the mayor turning a
deaf ear to the needs of the jobless.
Unemployed workers began to realize
that only a militant program will
make it possible to gain their de-
mands. Since then an increase OF
as high as one hundred and fifty
per cent in relief was gained.
The state committee of the organi-
zation decided on the following pro-
gram in the initiative and referen-
dunn drive:
Visit all organizations to secure en-
dorsement of the Workers Unem-
ployment and Social Insurance Bill
Setting up Unemployment Insur-
ance Committees in all organizations
to secure 100 per cent membership
support.
