positions in the AT of l. with the &C.
tivity Of the TUUL unions more and
more. And we shall continue and in
tensify the fight for one union based
on the policy of the class struggle
in each industry.
This we shall achieve in each indus
try, in the labor movement as whole
when we succeed in unmasking the
policies of the Greens and Lewises,
and liquidate their influence in the
organizations they now control. The
road for one union in each industry
is not a smooth one. There are many
problems, many difficulties to be over
come. 1t may take on in different
industries different forms. We on
our part shall always be willing to
see the content and not bubble about
the form. We stand for the demo-
cratic decisions of the workers based
on the principle Of the class struggle
Today the first step in this direction
lies in the development Of the united
struggle Of the workers irrespective
of their union afflliation. in the
strengthening of the TUUL unions,
in the strengthening of the opposition
work in the AT Of L unions.
AS for the threat Mr.. Green makes
that there is no room for any other
labor movement" we know he is only
stating what the employers and the
government are already doing with
the aid of Green-trying to crush the
militant unions, refusing to recognize
them. But the workers think quite
differently. The miners strike while
Lewis in their name promises no
strikes. The silk workers refuse to
go back to work after McMahon
promises to send them back. The
Brockton shoe workers repudiate the
agreement reached by the AT Of /
leaders and the MIRA. Thus we can
see That not only can Green not
speak for all workers, the overwheln-
ing majority Of whom are not in the
AT Of L, but he cannot even speak
for the rank and file of the AT Of L.
The employers and the Roosevelt
government are trying to help Green
This is the meaning Of Green's latest
statement. But more and more the
workers speak for themselves. More
and more the militant unions and
AT of l. left oppositions not only rep
resent but speak for the workers.
They will force the employers to deal
with them and the unions Of their
hoice

5 MORE JAILED, HELD
NCOMMUNICADO; IL D.
URGES MASS PROTESTS
All Schools Closed By
Strike of 1000
Kids

GALLUP, New Mexico, Sept. 18.
Five more strikers were arrested
here near the office of the National
Miners Union on orders from Gen
eral Wood, dictator here under
martial law rule. A total of eleven
are now in Jail being held incom-
municado for court martial set for
tomorrow. General Wood is the
son of the late General Leonard
Wood, former governor general of
the Philippines, and an experienced
strikebreaker.
Attorney Tittman, representing
the arrested strikers, was refused
admittance in court when attempt
ing to defend the miners.
All schools in this city have been
closed by a strike two hours after
the arrest of students. Two thous-
and of the school children paraded
around the county Jail despite the
presence of the military.

that we must understand the state
ment by Green that the AT of L
will organize the unorganized, that
the AFL alone will organize the work
ers and that there is no room for
any other labor movement. This is
clear recognition of the activity
and thegrowth OF the TUUL unions.
1t is recognition that there is an
other labor movement. 1t is the mill
tant trade union movement. This is
not limited to the unions affiliated
to the IUUL and the other independ-
ent unions. 1t is also existing right
within the AT Of L organization in
the organization and activity Of the
growing left wing oppositions.
Mr. Green now promises to orga-
nize the unorganized. Where have
you been, MI. Green, all these years?
Why all of a sudden are you so con-
science-stricken that you are going to
help" the u7organized steel workers,
auto workers and others. We under
stand the reason. Because you and a
section of the employing class, many
of the government officials realize
that the workers are organizing into
the left wing organizat. ons. You and
the government want to crush these
militant unions. You want to drive
the workers into the AT OF l.. You
are attempting to divert the move
ment of the workers for struggle
against the employers. You are as
usual coming to the assistance of the
employers whose interests you have
defended against the workers for so
long,. Mr.. Green is now like at the
time of the last world war trying to
herd the workers in basic industries,
in industries connected with war
preparations into the AT of L for the
purpose of continuing starvation con-
ditions and preventing strikes. Mr..
Green in his announcement about or
ganizing the unorganized, announces
the policy of the employers and the
government to prevent the workers
from organizing into unions of their
own choosing and fighting for better
conditions The workers will more
and more learn to understand this.
They are learning 1t In the textile
industry, they are learning it in the

who areS joining the Steel and Metal

Recent Retail Price
Rise Is Sharpest in
More Than 10 Years

NEW YORK, Sept. 18.-Retail
prices Of all store commodities, such
as clothes, shoes, blankets, home
furnishings, ETC., have advanced
more rapidly during the last month
than at any time in the last decade,
the Fairchild price reports revealed
yesterday.
The index of retail store prices on
Sept. / was Is per cent higher than
when Roosevelt took office In March
this year.
AS result of the Roosevelt infla-
ton program, retail and wholesale
merchants are quite open in their
predictions that retail prices will
continue to sweep upward under the
pressure Of the Roosevelt program
reaching level that will be 35-40
per cent higher than March. They
expect to see these prices about Oc-
tober or November, they say.

Demand Abolition of
Martial Law and
Gunner Rule

NEW YORK.-Appealing to all
districts, sections, branches, of the
organization, and to all sympathetic
and individuals to help
with mass protest and with funds to
smash the reign of terror in the
Utah and New Mexico coal fields,
the International Labor Defense to-
day raised the following demands:
Abolition of martial law.
Disarming of deputized company
gunner.
Right of the strikers and their
sympathizers to self -defense and to
defense by their attorneys in civil
courts.
Release of all arrested strikers and
their sympathizers.
Withdrawal of National Guard
and U. S. A. army forces from Gal
lup, N. M, and Helper, Utah.
Repeal Of the Utah Criminal Syn
dicalism law.
Immediate public recognition Of
the right Of the miners to belong
to a trade union Of their own choos-
ing.
Wires with these demands have
been sent to Governors Blood and
Seligman of Utah and New Mexico
and to President Roosevelt.
The call of the I. L. D. asked all
organizations to send wires, letters
and resolutions with these demands
to these three officials, from their
organizations, from all regular meet
ings, and from meetings to be espe-
cially called.

The Majority OF the guards vert
from Welfare Island, presumably on
duty in that section of the city prison
in which Matthews had been confined,
while number we're brought from
Harris Island where Shahian himself
had been attacked. Not all of the
guards at the prison were called out
for Identification.
Untermeyer Denies Application
At the same time, Supreme Court
Justice Erwin Untermeyer, son of
Samuel Untermeyer, the Tanmany
advisor, denied John L. Spivak's APP
plication for an order compelling
Commissioner of Correction Cahill to
permit Spivak to see the Correction
Hospital records which prove the
charge that James Matthews was
murdered on Welfare Island. The ap-
plication was made through Attorney
Elias Schwartzbard.
Frankly serving notice that the
right of citizens to view public records
was confined to property owners.
Justice Untermeyer, in denying the
application, said, that he did SO
without prejudice" and that an
other application may be filed pro-
viding it is accompanied by proof that
Spivak is a taxpayer.
Identifies Own Attacker.
While Shahian was unable to
identify positively the guard who at
tackled Matthews, he nevertheless did
point out Edward Dross, the guard,
who had assaulted him, knocking
three OF his own teeth out. He singled
out another guard who he said looked
like the man who murderously slug
ged Matthews, but inasinuch as he
was not absolutely certain that he
was the man, Shahian refused to
make positive identification.
The eyewitness to the Matthews
murder drove to Welfare Island in a
police car with the Assistant District
Attorney and the I. L. D. lawyer, and
upon their arrival great curiosity was
evinced by the inmates who had ap-
parently heard of the "big stink" via
the grapevine route
A few minutes later the uniformed
guards were lined up on an upper

down for about ten minutes examin-
ing them closely while the guards
looked sullenly at Shahian and his

Shahian told Assistant District Att
torney Price that accidents are usu-
ally reported. and the Welfare Island
prison records ought to contain the
name of the guard who brought in
the report regarding Matthews. He
: suggested that Price examine the
records. The assistant district attor-
ney promised to look into it."

ing and very eager to please. you

ties. "Why," said he, holding UP a

1917. Does he mean in membership?
This is lie. After the war the AT
of L had between four and five mil
lion members, twice the present mem
bership. What happened? Green and
his predecessor Gompers betrayed
these workers. They found that they
could not improve their conditions
through the policies Of Gompers and
Green. They left or were driven out
when they took up the fight despite
the leaders. The last convention, be-
cause of the pressure of the rank and
file, went on record for unemploy-
ment insurance. And what has the
Council to report to the coming con-
vention? One would think that there
is no more unemployment. The rank
and file of the AT Of L and the work
ers throughout the country should ask
Mr.. Green what activity did the AT
of L carry on for unemployment in
surance in the last year? The Coun-
Gil has completely forgotten, sabot-
aged and openly opposed the fight for
unemployment insurance.
We Fight for United Labor Movement
So long as the Greens and VOLS
and Lewises are at the head OF the
AT OF L there will be another labor
movement. One led by the Greens
trying to stop the struggles Of the
workers, preaching the common in
terests of the bosses and the workers.
The other based on the united strug-
gle of the workers against their en-
ployers. And furthermore the REFORM
list policies Of the Green will rally
less and less workers. The class strug-
gle policies of the TUUL will rally
more and more workers.
The division is not between the
AT Of l. ond the Trade Union Unity
League. The division is between the
Greens on the one side and the work.
ers of both organizations on the other.
There is no quarrel between the rank
and file of the AT of L and the
TUUL. The aims of the workers of
both organizations are the same even
though they are not always fully con-
scious of it. The left wing will not
abandon the work in the AT of L
organizations. II will increase and
improve it.
1t will fight for the unity of all
workers on the basis Of united front

the workers of the various unions.

Mr. William Green of ALL Makes Some Some Threats

Of L. The workers do not see why
they should join the A. F. of L. since
they are told by the leaders not to
strike, that the N. R. A. will take
care of everything. This has been
the latest development which occu-
pied the attention of the A. F. of L..
Council and which prompted it to
new rnaneuvers, about which we shall
speak later.
Growth of Militant Unions
However, this is not all. At the
same time other organizations have
gone forward and organized the work
ers. The unions affiliated to the
Trade Union Unity League have al
ready recruited close to $4,000 new
members in the course of the last few
months. And one of the most i'm
portant features Of this gain by the
TUUL unions has been the gain in
such industries as textile, mining in
the western sections utah, New Mex
ico) and above all in the steel in
dustry where the Steel and Metal
Workers Union has recruited more
members than the AFL organization
In this industry the Steel and Metal
Workers Industrial Union alone has
conducted a number of important and
successful strikes. Furthermore there
have been formed a number of inn
portant independent unions that are
close to the program and policies of
the TUUL organizations. Such or
CARNATIONS have been formed in the
textile, cement, packing and numer-
GUS other industries.
IF WE take these unions into account
then we can state that the number
of workers organized into the TUUL
and militant independent unions are
almost so per cent of the number of
workers recruited by the American
Federation Of Labor. Aside from the
mining industry, the specific gravity
of the recruitment here is greater
than that Of the AT of L because
they include more decisive industries,
while at least half the recruitment
Of the AFL has been in the needle
industry. And finally with the growth
of the membership Of the AFL in
mining, textile and needle there has
been a growth of the left wing oppo-
sition in these unions. All this is now
being grasped by the AT of L chiefs
and they are planning to counterfeit
this developments
