In the meantime, Mr.. Petsy (the
business agent of the coat shop sug-
geSted that we go back to work at
s O'Clock in the morning. In the
meantime they would take it up with
the firm.
We all shouted, "No, we will not
go back until we. are granted our
demandsl We want to be treated like
human beings"
In the morning, no worker got the
floor to express his view of the sit
uation.
Union Gives Company Right to Fire
Later I learned some more unbe-
lievable news, that the company has
an agreement with the union that
the company had the right to hire
and fire. The business agent pleaded
that we should not walk out on strike
any more because this is the agree
ment between the company and the
union. The business agent promised
the company that we would not walk
out any more. In case we have any
complaints We should come to the
union.
Brothers and sisters. AS one of
you, working for the 7. T. Co. and
being very well acquainted with our
union misleaders, for I have been
with the Amalgamated Union since
1915, appeal to you, don't let your
selves be misled! Why didn't the
union take up our complaints when
We went to them? Their answer was,
Eve cannot do anything"
Fellow workers, we must demand
shop meetings at once. We must see
that our complaints are taken care
of. Elect committees from your own
shop, from each floor, to straighten
things out for you.
We set an example of what we can
do by walking out Monday. We won
our demands, without the support
from the union. Only by united &C
ton Of all the workers will we con-
tinue to win all our demands.

ViSCOSe Plant
Workers Demand
40 P. c. Increase
(By a Worker Correspondent

PARKERSBURG, w. Va.-Just q
few lines on the developing struggle
CT the rayon workers.
The union representative Of the
ViscoSe Co.'S workers, Of the entire
American Viscose Corp, met in con-
ference on Dec. 3rd to 9Th inclusive,
at Marcus Hook, Pa, and presented
to the corporation their demands for
an immediate 40 per cent increase in
pay for all rayon workers.
The company, as all companies
usually do in such situations, began
to maneuver with the tactics of de-
laying to answer; promising that by
Dec. 10th they would let the workers
know; that it was necessary first to
ell board of directors meeting, etc.
The workers insisted upon an imme-
diate answer.
This resulted IN cablegram being
sent to the American Viscose Corp.
to the ViscoSe Co, Ltd, Of England.
AS q consequence. a Mr.. johnson, who
is president of all the Viscose Co.,
and resides in England, has decided
to sail for America at once; he is
on his way here now, and will be
available for conference on or about
Dec. Is.
To strengthen the present position
of the Vrscose Co.'s workers in their
demands, it is necessary that rayon
workers in the Dupont Rayon Co,
the Bsmberg and Glanzatoff Corp,
the Industrial Rayon Corp, the
American Enka Corp, the Tubize
Chatillon Corp, and also other rayon
mills take immediate steps, and make
similar demands.
For years the American rayon IN
dustry has at the expense Of low
wages to the workers reaped crini-
nally exorbitant profits In 1926 and
1927, the cost of producing a pound
of rayon averaged around 20 cents
and was sold as high as So Id.
Think of this, fellow workers, 800 per
cent profit. At present the profit is
somewhat lower, as rayon today sells
for about $110 d pound, and the
production price is between Is and
20 cents a pound.
The 40 per cent increase in pay
which the rayon workers in the Wis
cose Co. demand, IS not an exorbitant
one, and it can be won; and if the
workers in the other rayon mills
make like demands, higher stand
ard Of life can be realized by all of
the rayon workers.

Determined to Defend
Their Union Against
Boss and Cops
by a Negro Needle Worker
Correspondent

It's 8 o'clock in the morning and
200 workers of Mailman and Sanger
Dress Co., 462 7th Ave, who have
been locked out, form into a picket
line under the leadership of the
Needle Trades Workers Industrial
Union, with their signs which read
as follows: Mailman and Sanger has
locked us out for a Xmas present"
Mailman and Sanger, we demand
our jobs back" owe are on strike for
the right to belong TO the union of
our choice"
This boss also has pickets. Who
are they? Dicks and cops. What is
this, q demonstration" shouts one of
the cops. Break it up, or I'll get
the wagon for youse," he yells, push
ing the workers at the same time.
Workers, close your ranks" shouts q
Mailman and Sanger worker. Well
fight to get our jobs back"
The workers resisting the cops con-
tinue their picketing. Our picket line
is working fine, and the workers are
determined to fight to win their strike
and to demand the N.T.WI.U. For
this is the only union in the needle
industry that fights the bosses in the
interest Of the workers, for them to
earn decent living.

want to express my condemnation OF
the Amalgsmated officialdom.
For many months workers have
been asking in vain for shop meet
ings, where they could present their
complaints, But the officials refused
I'VE don't need any shop meetings
we can take care Of everyone without
a meeting, was the reply of the bust
ness agent. Meantime, workers have
been fired and insulted continuously
by the company.
What protection did the workers
get from the union? Nothing at all!
They enforced the check-off system
where the company deducted SO cents
week from every worker, regardless
Of how little the workers earned fol
their weeks labor.
Finally, when we no longer could
tolerate all the miserable conditions
we walked out on strike without
the knowledge of the union officials
Official Too Busy With Bosses
When we got to the union head
quarters we were unable to get in
touch with any of the union officials
After four or five hours waiting, We
received weird that someone had got

Letters from
Our Readers
CRITICIZEs r. s. u. MEETING
New York.

New York.
Dear Comrade Editor:
Permit me to print my letter of
criticism in the Daily Worker in hope
it will be read and considered by
those who are closely connected with
the arrangement of amusernents in
cur organizations.
At dance and entertainment given
by the East Bronx Friends of the Sow
let Union, EInslla Ber1nan and DR..
Stashev insisted upon presenting
part Of the program in Russian.
which brought an almost steady ex-
change Of that language for the rest
CT the evening.
Comrades, if we are to attract the
great masses of native born to our
organizations, please lead the meet
ings and amusements in English.
-Charna.
II is the opinion Of the East
Bronx Branch that the criticism
in the above letter is entirely justi-
fable and a healthy one. We, the
members of the East Bronx Branch,
who were responsible for arrang-
,ng the program, realize the chort-
comings of the entertainment and
in view of the fact that our organi-
zation should attract an American
element, will certainly rectify this
mistake in planning our future en-
tertainrncnts. We thank the COM
rade for the interest shown by the
criticism.

Repudiated A. F. l.
Official Prevents
Meetings Of Local

NEW YORK CITY-A few weeks
ago the administration Of Local 38,
International Ladies Garment Work
ers' Union, was compelled to call a
general membership meeting to read
q report Of the agreement of the last
general strike that took place in
September, 1888.
Harry Greenberg, ex-manager Of
Local 38, was going to interpret the
agreement. The members, however,
decided by a vote that the agreement
should be read first, whereupon the
said Greenberg Immediately left the
meeting.
Upon Greenberg's request, the
Executive Board of Local 80 called
another meeting for wednesday,
Nov. IS.
The members are actually enraged
against his entire actions since he
became manager of the local and
especially for his shameful betrayal
of the last strike and did not want
to listen to him.
The chairman of the meeting re-
fused to entertain a motion that a
vote should be taken whether Green
berg should get the floor, on the
ground that it is not constitutional.
The business agent threatened that
the members will soon know all about
the constitution, meaning the coming
elections in the local. The chairman
thereupon broke off the meeting.
After that, Greenberg boosted that
there would be no meeting even for
as long as two years until he would
have the satisfaction of speaking.
The members time and again re-
pudiated him, but this shameless bu-
reaucrat forces himself upon the
members, regardless Of the workers
hatred.

MGWU Checks Up
on Dues But Lets
Boss Cut Wages
(By Needle worker Correspondent)

(By Needle Worker Corresponding
BROOKLYN.-A few weeks ago,
Local % of the International Ladies
Garment Workers Union had a sec
ton meeting. The executive brought
in a report that everything was lovely
in our union, that we had won the
IS hour week, and the minimum scale
OF wages
I was unemployed at that time, and
really believed that those who work
get these conditions.
Last week a few workers and my
self got a job. In the evening we
were called to the union. We were
informed that unless we make our
books in good standing we won't be
able to work in that shop. We had
to part with our carfare and lunch
money. Still others had to borrow
In order to pay their dues.
"How about prices?" one Of our
workers asked. 1.-THE boss made the
price Himself. We surely won't make
the minimum If we accept the bosses
price"
You can't demand price before
you work week in the shop" said
The official. Come to the union next
week. We will take UP this question
then"
We worked week. Next Monday
the boss told us that he has no work
Furthermore he does not need any
one OF us.
So we went to the union and told
our official how things were. We
also told him that we did not make
even half of the minimum scale.
WELL he said, you can't fight when
there is no work in the shop" why
didn't you let us fight when there
was work in the shop" we protested.
This is the rule Of the Interna-
tional. The meeting was adjourned.

Aid Must Come at Once for
:" Daily" to Obtain New Press

NEW YORK receipts in the
$4,000 drive make it questionable
whether the Daily Worker will be in
a position to make the initial pay
ments or. the new press.
Despite an urgent appeal by G. A.
Hathaway in the columns Of our
paper last Saturday for immediate
funds to help obtain the new, mod
ern press, the response so far is very
poor.
Attention, Districts
Why have the districts failed to
respond to Conlrade Hathaway's ap-
peal that they should state how soon
they can raise their quotas, how
much extra they can raise to help
pay for the new press? New York
is the only district that has replied,
and pledges to raise its full quota
Of $4,000 within the next two weeks.
1t has already raised more than ST.
600. How about Chicago, Cleveland,
Pittsburgh and the others? Let's
hear from you!
Challenge by Unit 4O6
Unit 406, Section 4, New York,
which has already raised SIS,
pledges to double this amount
within a week, and challenges all =.
other units in Section to raise the
largest amount until the drive is
over How about this challenge,
Units of Section 4? Write to the
Daily accepting this revolution
airy challenge.
We must repeat again, comrades,
that unless more funds come in, we
cannot be in a position to acquire
the new press, which will be de-
ltvered to us only if we make the
necessary down payment.
We appeal to all to help. Workers,
send whatever amount you can spare,
All organizations of the working
class, contribute from your treasu-
ries, take up collections at your men,
bership meetings, and rush the funds
at once.
