Call Strike at the
Chicago Fur Shops

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Sept. 19.-Work-
ers of the David Adler shop walked
out on strike yesterday at the call
of the Fur Workers section of the
Needle Trades Workers Industrial
Union. The Adler shop has been
an open shop since its inception
and is known to manufacture the
finest quality of fur garments
while at the same time paying the
lowest wages to the workers.
The immediate cause Of the strike
was the dischage of two of the
workers who were active in organ
izing the union in the shop. The
strikers are demanding re-instate-
ment of the fired worker, pay in
creases and a 40-hour week. The
Industrial Union asks all fur work
ers to report at the union office,
119 South Wells St., at 7 am.
every morning to assist on the
picket line.

sng Food Prices Spread Hunger Disclosed in Reports
Steel Trust Fails to
Stop Union Meeting

GARY, Ind, Sept. 19.-The steel
trust extended its long strike-break-
ing arm into the activities of the
Steel and Metal Workers industrial
Union and ordered the owner of a
hall in this steel company town to
close its doors to prevent a meeting
of the Steel and Metal Workers In
dustrial Union.
The union engaged Crystal Ball
room for a mass meeting of steel
workers on Sept. to acquaint them
with the experiences Of steel workers
in the recent struggles in Buffalo,
Pittsburgh, McKees Rocks and other
centers. Negro workers were invited
and urged to participate in the meet
ing. On the day of the meeting, a
DR.. Ross, Negro dentist who subleases
the hall, refused the keys and in a
last minute effort to stop the meet
ing had the lights turned off by the
Gary Heat and Light Co., although
deposit had been paid and receipt
obtained previously. AS the workers
arrived for the meeting two detec-
tives were posted to drive them from
the meeting.
The steel trust failed in its objective,
however, when the workers gathered
at 1885 Broadway, the headquarters
of the union, and held crowded and
successful meeting, attended by more
than $50. Many joined the union.

"a Hour Picketing
Keeps Indiana Steel
Mill Shut; 500 Out

INDIANA HARBOR, Ind, Sept.
18.-The strike of over 500 steel
workers of the Standard Forgings
plant is in it's second week. The
company is realizing that the men
are sticking solid and has been
mobilizing the local A. F. of L. Of
ficials and the local MIRA. to break
the strike. The local newspapers,
such as the Gary Post Tribune
and Chicago Tribune, are calling
for a return to work by referring
to the Steel and Metal Workers In
dustrial Union as IAN outlaw
union"
Despite these efforts the strikers
are solid behind the program of
the S. M. w. I. u, and about $50
have already joined its ranks. The
Vice-President of the Boilermakers'
Union of the A. F. of L., Guthridge,
together with Fred Shutz of the
Central Labor Union and the local
N. R. A. official, Kyne, have met
with Superintendent Swanson of the
Standard Forgings Co. and are try
ing to negotiate a separate agree
ment for the Is welders who are
on strike and who have been mis-
led into joining the A. F. of l..
Union. The rank and file welders,
however, pledge to stay out on
strike until a successful agreement
has been reached for all of the
men.
The workers throughout the steel
region are watching the strike
closely. There is a great response

Roosevelt Signs Coal Code; Strikes Won Concessions

Roosevelt made two other small
amendments, one providing for the
furnishing of statistics and another
enlarging the national bituminous
administraticl bc2-1 from IA to 10,
nine to be appointed by the oper-
ators and nine by the Federal Gov
eminent, insuring the operators COM
plete control of the board which is
to put the coal code into action.
What to DO Now
What must the miners do now that
the code Is passed. 1t is clear that
whatever concessions there are in the
code were won through the action OF
the miners themselves. The miners
can win better conditions than pro-
vided in the code by their own or
ganization and struggle.
The code should be discussed In ev-
cry mine. Mass meetings should be
called In order to give the miners an
opportunity to say what they think
about the code, and to lay down a
program of action.
In every mine, the miners should
elect their own representatives, to
draw up tonnage rates, to demand
pay for dead work, to establish the
right of joining union OF their own
choosing, and to see that the paper
concessions are carried out.
The present code should be COM
pared to the code submitted by the
National Miners Union, and the de-
mands left out, such as the six-hour
day, unemployment insurance, the
right to organize and strike, be put
to the operators.
In each mine the miners should
draw up their objections to the code.
Protests should be made against
the compulsory arbitration clause,
and against John l.. Lewis for spon-
soring this strikebreaking apparatus
for the coal fields.
An opposition group should be or
ganized in every UMW.A. local, rail-
lying all of the miners belonging to
the U.M.W-A. behind it on the basis
of driving out John L. Lewis and
other U.MW.A. officials who have
shown themselves tools of the coal
operators. A program Of struggle
should be drawn up for higher wages,
tonnage rates, union recognition, the
right to raise demands for higher
wages to meet higher prices, and the
right to strike and picket.
What happens to the miners con-
ditions as the result Of the code Is in
the hands Of the miners. Their action,
which won concessions, can win better
conditions and defeat the strike
breaking power given to the coal OPP
orators

Mass. Governor Calls
Troops to End Strike
i'm Cranberry Fields

NEW BEDFORD, Mass, Sept 49,
More state troopers were ordered out
by Governor Ely to help break the
strike of the cranberry pickers that
has tied up the harvest for over two
weeks.
The growing militancy of the
pickets, who have already gone far
beyond their AFL leadership has
greatly alarmed the property owners
and local officials. In response to
a plea from John ]. Beaton, pres
ident of the Cape Cod Cranberry
Growers Association for the pro-
lection of scab workers, the Select
men of Barnstable replied, "Our po-
lice are on the job, and If anything
is started here the instigators will

Colonel Philip of the local Compli-
ance Board Of the MIRA Is reported
to have left for Washington last
night to confer with General John
son and Donald Richberg of the NRA.
He is also said to be seeking the help
of Edward McGrady who assisted the
government recently in deceiving the
striking miners.
The Colonels chief objective in go
ing to Washington is to strengthen
the local labor adjustment" machin-
cry of the NRA to enable them to
smash strikes quickly and effectively.
He will ask for the immediate estab-
ishment of a local mediation board
similar TO the National Labor Ad-
visory Board.
In addition to the strikes in the
knitgoods, whitegoods and custom
tailoring sections of the needle in
dustry, strikes are on in the metal,
shoe, furniture, bakery, mirror,
jewelry and painting trades and more
strikes are looming in the waist sec
ton of the garment trade and among
the delivery drivers.

on wages does not even receive men
ton in the code. That is the fact
that prices of food and other neces-
sites are going up so fast that the
present wages will soon be worse than
the old scales. The miners should
retain the right to demand revision
Of wage scales to meet rising prices.
To back it up, they must be orga-
nized, with mine committees empow-
cred with the right to raise the de-
mand for higher wages at any time.
That is another reason compulsory
arbitration is put into the code, to
hold wages down while prices go up.
The code makes no guarantee of
employment and makes no provision
whatever for the hundreds of thou
sands of unemployed miners as de-
manded by the National Miners
Union, in its provision for unemploy-
ment insurance.
The compulsory arbitration clause
was supported and demanded by John
L. Lewis in an effort to keep the
miners from striking, as they have
repeatedly disobeyed his orders not to
strike.
The object of making these con-
ceSsions was to attempt to herd the
miners into the UMWA, and to es-
tablish the leadership of John L.
Lewis as the miners representative, 7"

Roosevelt, in eliminating few sec
tions interpreting the MIRA labor
clauses, tries to keep alive the miners
illusions about the right to choose
their own representatives; but this
will become fact only when the
miners elect their own mine COM
mittees, rejecting Lewis's leadership,
making their own agreements, seeing
by their own action that the conces-
sions are carried out, and the de-
mands of the miners granted.
They Are Pledged
The UMWA and AT of L officials
are now pledged to make effective
and acceptable" to the miners the
worst anti-labor clauses yet included
in any code signed by Roosevelt.
Still intact, and the most outstand-
ing part of the code, is that dealing
with Labor Relations known as
Section 5 of Article VII.
Here the no-strike edict which
drove the 10000 striking miners back
into the pits last August is made
law. The miners are prohibited from
striking, no matter how bad their
conditions are made under the code

grocery chain in the country.
For the last five weeks, these re-
ports reveal, there has been steady
drop in the amount Of daily grocer
les purchased, 4 per cent drop be-
ing registered in dollar sales and
s per cent drop in unit volume.
These figures indicate that not only
are workers being forced to reduce
their grocery buying, but they are
forced tc pay a higher price for the
goods they actually do buy.
AS a result of the advancing cost
of living. workers and housewives are
organizing for active resistance to the
higher prices.
A mass protest meeting Of consum-
ers was held Sunday at Lakewood,
New Jersey at Wolpin Hall to plan
widespread consumers strike.
Plans were laid down for a strike
against the recent raising of bread
prices to 10 cents pound, and rolls
to "a cents dozen.
The consumers demand that bread
be reduced to cents pound, and
rolls to 10 cents dozen.
It is expected that the strike will
spread to neighboring sections, like
Long Branch, Red Bank, and Asbury
Park. Neighborhood groups and COM
mittees are being formed to picket
bakeries, groceries and diaries to de-
mand lower prices.
The meeting was called by the
Monmouth and Ocean County Con-
sumers Association, a united front
group which includes several frater-
nal and mass organizations, such as
the International Workers Order, the
Workmen's Circle, the International
Labor Defense, and the Toms River
Ladies Auxiliary organization.

pulsory arbitration machinery being
made part of the code.
The concessions won by the miners
can now be carried out only by the
action Of the miners themselves. 1t
is up to the miners to see that even
these small wage advances are actu-
ally given.
The National Miners Union de-
manded pay for dead work on the
basis Of the IS day scale, but the
present code makes no provision for
this burning demand Of the miners.
The operators are left to continue
the old practice Of making the min
ers do this heavy work for days with
out any pay at all. No tonnage rates
are set. This can be won only In
the way that the National Miners
Onion pointed out: by the mine COM
mittees, elected by the miners, deter
mining the rate through negotiations
with the coal operators In each mine.
Election Of checkweighman was
granted, but Roosevelt gave the min
erS this concession only after the first
strike, and the operators did not carry
1t out.
The National Miners Union demand
that the miners be allowed to buy in
any stores they want to and not be
forced to buy In the company stores
or live in company houses was grant,
ed. But again this will be carried
through only by the action of the
workers themselves, not by relying on
the coal operators to live up to It.
Checks and Scrip
The demand Of the NMU that the
miners be paid In cash was partly
granted, the code providing that the
miners be paid by cash or check. But
here too the "check" may become
company scrip, If the miners do not
stop the practice by their action.
1t is clear throughout the code that
these concessions won through strug-
gle will remain on paper unless the
miners continue to night and not sub
NIT TO the compulsory arbitration set
up In the code.
The operators know that the min
ers won certain concessions through
struggle. That is precisely the rea-
son the powerful strikebreaking
clauses were put In the code--to pre-
vent the miners through struggle car
rying them through and winning
more In the same way.
Rising Food Prices
One of the most important points
