GODOFF, ARCONI
WORKERS STRIKE
Must Organize Own
Leadership

NEWARK, N. J.-Workers of the
Godoff and Arconi shops at SO w
Market ST., making children's wash
able suits, are on strike for higher
wages and shorter hours. They en-
ploy boys and girls as young as Ia
and Is years of age. paying them SO
to 81 week for so hours.
The Needle Trades Workers Indus
trial Union has carried on organiza-
tional work in these shops for some
time. AS result of this some mem
bers of the Needle Trades Workers
Industrial Union were fired.
The International Ladies Garment
Union sent in its organizers and
began its usual dirty work, by talk
ing to the bosses behind the backs
of the workers.
They had fall out and could not
agree. They then called the work
ers> on strike. They also called a
strike at the Roselle shop.
1t is already the fifth day of the
strike and so far only about one
third of tie workers walked out,
thus showing that they have no con-
fidence in the leadership.
In Newark, out of about 400 eighty
are on strike, in Roselle out of 400
seventy are on strike.
In Roselle go out of the 10 that
walked out on strike are young Me-
no workers and are very militant.
Already were arrested and fined SIS
each
So far the workers have no lead
ership of their own. No concrete de-
mands were discussed and worked out
with the workers and no strike COM
mittee of the workers elected.
Those workers who we're fired from
the shop for trying to organize the
workers are kept out of the meetings
by the organizers of the International
union.
The Needle Trades Workers Indus
trial Union has pledged its support
to the strikers. 1t points out that
to make this victorious strike, the
strikers should elect their own large
strike committee, representing all de-
partments and all workers. The
strikers must discuss and work out
their own demands and themselves
present them to the boss, instead of
Mr.. Greenberg having private deal
ings with the boss.

READING, Pa, July IA move
to break the strike of the 10000 Read
ing workers which now embraces not
only the hosiery workers but workers
in many other industries is under
way as the State Employment office
openly recruits scabs to man the
plants on strike.
The Erie Penn. office of the State
Employment bureau has been hiring
silk weavers and paying the fares of
these workers to Reading. Adver-
tisements appear regularly in the
local papers. Police we're called in
by the employment office in Erie
when a number of workers, learning
they were to be sent to break a
strike, spontaneously protested
against the state acting as scab
agents. The Unemployed Council
here is also active in warning the
workers against going to Reading.
The action of the State Employ
ment office exposes Mrs. Pinchot's
demagogic action in appearing on the
Reading picket lines while at the
same time the state is engaged in
breaking the strike.
The Mayor of Reading took steps
today to appoint committee of IS
to meet to consider the strike situa-
ton. This is the result of protests
from the business men here who are

UNIONS URGED TO
FORMULATE OWN
STRUGGLE CODES
Defend the Unions
Conference Ell e cts
Action Committee

NEW YORK-A decision to carry
on a united struggle against the
attacks under the Roosevelt "Recov-
cry act was made at the conference
called in defense of the trade unions
last Saturday at which 995 delegates
representing 500 Federation locals,
independent unions, T. U. U. L.
unions, workers clubs and fraternal
organizations we're present.
A unity committee of 80 represen-
tatives of various unions were elected
to help workers in various trades for
mulate their own codes in opposition
to the hunger codes of the bosses.
The committee will fight to have the
demands of the workers considered
at the Washington hearings and at
the same time organize and mobilize
for strikes to force the bosses to
concede these demands on the job.
Endorse Cleveland Meet
The conference endorsed the COM
ing Cleveland Conference on August
26 and called all workers organiza-
tions represented to send delegates
to 1t. A resolution condemning the
Socialist Party for its support of the
A. F. of L. and the bosses in the fur
strike was adopted.
The main resolution, embodying
series of proposals on the fight
against the Recovery Act, was
adopted. The resolution recommends
that all unions take UP the following
points in their codes: That the bosses
and government shall be responsible
for paying a minimum wage scale,
and assuring minimum income for
a whole year for every worker. That
minimum scales shall be decided &C
cording to specific conditions in each
trade. If the industry does not guar
antee definite yearly income, the
government shall supplement this by
paying unemployment insurance.
That workers earning as much as
or more than the minimum wage de-
cided on shall get an increase Of
Is per cent in their wages. Wages
shall increase with the cost of living
Special clauses should be included
against discrimination against Negro
workers and guaranteeing them the
right to be employed at every job in
the industry, with equal pay for
equal work, to abolish night work
and to guarantee equal pay for equal
work for women.
That children under 16 shall not
be employed but shall be supported
at the expense of the bosses and the
government.

Questions and Answers on
the MIRA.

Question: How will this recovery
bill effect the colonial countries,
especially Cuba?
Answer: Directly the act does not
apply to the colonies, but they will
feel the effects of the act through
greater war preparations and a fur
Their penetration of American CAPT.
talism into the colonial markets. It
means that the smashing down of
the standard Of living will be used as
lever to lower still further the
standard of living of the colonial
toilers. Cuba, which is so closely
linked with Wall ST., will be espe-
cially affected. The naval building
program under the act is aimed to
strengthen U. S. domination over
Cuba, Philippines, Panama and Porto
Rico.
Question: In what way does the
Recovery act counterfeit the extra
Overproduction due to initiation
(overstocking for . future price
rise)?
Answer: The act provides for the
creation of trade associations, or
monopolies in the form Of cartels. A
cartel is the grouping of various fac
tories in one industry for the pur-
pose of agreeing to higher prices,
rules of competition, distribution Of
markets. Roosevelt and the bosses
hope to stem overproduction by this
new monopoly venture-and cspe-
cially by penetrating world markets
undermining competitors. OF course,
the wish and the accomplishment are
two different things. Even within
the cartels there will be struggles,
each seeking to produce and sell more
than the others. One cartel will
fight another cotton against rayon)
each in the process overproducing in
the attempt to gain the market. The
main cause for oyerproduction is the
poverty of the masses, their inability
to buy back the vast stores Of goods
at a profit to the bosses. This con-
tradiction capitalism can never over

SCRANTON, Pa, July 17.-Mass
picketing of thousands of strikers
has spread the strike of silk and
garment workers to about 26 plants
in this area, with every likelihood
that all the plants in the region will
soon be tied up in the strike.
Attacks by police officers here

Sheriff George T. Williams has

Federal Mediator Davis, together

PLEAD REPEAL OF
NIGHT WORK LAW
Natl Textile Union
Opposes Bill at Mass
Hearings to Suspend
Law

BOSTON, Mass, July 17.-By .
vote of I6 to 8 the Massachusetts,
Senate yesterday voted for the
suspension Of the night work law
for women and children in the
cotton mills wlNeh prohibited em-
ployment from p. m. to 6 a. m.
The bill goes to the House this
week. william Green, in tele-
gram here stated that he approved
the action of the Massachusetts,
State Federation of Labor In sup
porting the suspension of the night
work law.
BOSTON, Mass, July 17.-Public
hearings on a bill to suspend the six
o'clock law which prohibits night work
for women and children were called
by the State Committee of Labor and
Industries Of Massachusetts last We'd
nesday.
The mill owners did not need to-
argue their cause since as a speaker
pointed out, they could not have
done the job as well as the A. F. of
Z. officials did it," For five hours,
Robert Watt, secretary Of the state
Federation of Labor, william Batty
of the New Bedford Textile Council
and other U'TW officials pleaded for
the suspension of the law which sends
women and children into the factories
to toll at night. Only As minutes
were granted to the representatives
of the National Textile Workers Union
headed by Burke, who were in oppo-
sition to the suspension bill. Textile
workers who came to voice their bit
ter protest against the return of the
night work system we're given five
minutes by the state legislative COM
mittee.
Burke, speaking for the textile
workers declared that the National
Textile Workers Union would carry
on a sharp fight and would organize
the resistance of the workers to de-
feat the repeal of this law. Burke
showed that Batty, and Binns, A. F..
of L. organizers in New Bedford, act
ed over the heads of the textile work
ers when they railroaded through a
resolution favoring suspension at a
meeting of the Textile Council in
New Bedford on the ground that
there could be no opposition after the
Executive Council had already made
the decision.

5 NEGRO LAUNDRY
STRIKERS JAILED

NEW YORK.-Five Negro women
laundry strikers were arrested in the
Bronx yesterday, charged with dis
orderly conduct, and held in $25
bail. The arrests are part of the
attempt Of the laundry bosses to
crush the laundry strikes still going
on at the Mott Haven and the Active
laundries, under the leadership of
the Laundry Workers Industrial
Union.
The women, Alice Bishop, Jessie
Clemens, Bella Pross, Viola Sample
and Lolene Williams, will be tried
today in the Bronx Magistrates
Court at 161st Street. These strikers
were talking to scab driver and he
became abusive, forcing the women

the tendency to constant overproduc-
ton, which initiation is intensifying
The result will be sharper drives for
world markets and war to obtain
them.
Question: Will you please show
how the industrial recovery act is
step towards fascism?
Answer: 1t is attempting to crush
the resistance Of the workers to the
program Of lowering the standard of
living, especially hitting at the revo-
lutionary trade unions. The capital
ist state comes out more openly as a
dictatorship Of the imperialists, wip-
ing out many Of the former pretenses
at democracy. Roosevelt asks for the
immediate elimination OF all labor
laws formerly passed in the various
states, like the Massachusetts, law,
which prohibits night work for
women and children. When the
codes are passed, q strike becomes
an action against the government
created code, with the government
stepping in through its naked force
Courts and police) to smash down
the workers struggles. The state
becomes more openly and closely
linked with the bankers and exploit
ers, disregarding all the legal frills
about the rights Of free speech, free
assemblage, etc. Every step forward
under the act, brings more into the
open the capitalist class dictatorship,
and increases the oppressive acts
against the workers. There is more
direct linking up directly Of the re-
formist trade union leaders and the
imperialist state to keep the work
ers from struggling. In this way the
act opens the door to rapid fascist
development OF the state. The only
way to prevent 1t is by the mobiliza-
ton OF the workers for struggle
against the slave codes, for the right
to create their own organizations, for
the right to strike, for the profession

DETROIT STEEL
.PLANTSRAISEPAY
TO AVERT STRIKE

DETROIT.-F'earing that the LOO
workers of the Michigan Steel Corp.
and the $500 men of the Great Lakes
Steel Corp. would walk out despite
the efforts of the leaders of the
American Federation of Labor to
kill all strike sentiment, the manage
nlent of these two plants, both owned
by the National Steel Corp, has in
creased wages Is percent.
In addition, at the Michigan Steel
plant, the company has been forced
to install electric fans and provide
iced drinking water.
The wage raise restores only a
small part of the sweeping wage cuts
that the workers have suffered,
which had reduced their pay by 35
to so percent. The militant Steel
and Metal Workers Industrial Union,
which has been carrying on activity
in both plants, raised the demand
for 80 percent increase.
With the help of the leaders of
the A. F. of L., Amalgamated Asso-
citation of Iron, Steel and Tin Work
ers, the management has succeeded
not only in temporarily preventing
strike action, but in getting COM
pany agents elected to represent the
men as part Of the code they have
proposed under the Industrial Re
covery" Act.
The Steel and Metal Workers In
dustrial Union is calling a meeting
Of the workers in the Great Lakes
plant Saturday, July Is, at $50 p.
m, to organize the struggle for fur
ther improvements and for real rank
and file representation for the men.

Minimum

NEW 1.-Two thousand
substitute postoffice employees will

Park to City Hall as a protest
against the Is percent wage cut
handed them by the new administra-
ton, and to demand a $1,000 yearly
minimum pay.

ton will start at IL o'clock and pre-
sent their demands to Mayor James
P. O'Brien and Postmaster John j.
Kiely.
From City Hall they will march
to the office of Commissioner of
Public Welfare Taylor, to whom a
committee will deliver list of those
needing immediate relief.
A statement by the association
said:
Average wages Of substitutes
are Sc per week. This sum has
been further reduced by the i'm
position of a Is per cent wage
cut. Subs are forced to report
regularly. They spend long hours
waiting for the little work they
get.
"As result of these conditions
families of substitutes have been
broken up. Recently two children
of sub died because Of made
quate medical attention.
These conditions are country
wide. The association has ap-
pealed TO Washington for relief
many times.
TN response to letter attack
ing the economy mania which
sought to balance the budget by
unbalancing the diets of Federal
employees, the Bureau Of the Budg-
ct wrote that the subs should

called upon to make as your con-
tribution to the return of better
conditions for alP."

In the midst OF the convention the
leadership of the M. w. I. U. in the
actions of the marine workers for
better conditions was strikingly Illus
trated. From the floor of the confer
ence committee was elected to visit
the owners of the ship "City of Fair
bury" on which Thomas Joyce, who
reported at the convention, was
cheated of his wages. The committee
went to the steamship company's
Offices, threatened to call strike and
picket the lines. The seaman was
promised a settlement of the case,
which the committee is determined to
carry through.
Port officials were astonished and
taken aback by the militancy of the
group. They seemed very anxious to
avoid action by the union. The case
was put before the convention for
further action last night.
Workers at the terror-ridden war
port of San Pedro, just outside of Los
Angeles, sent $3.50 with greetings to
the conference. 1t was in this port
that an International Longshoreman
Association official from San Francis
co was booed off the platform by
1000 longshoremen.
The recent Scottsboro march to
Washington was used as the opening
wedge in organizing the Negro long

port of delegate from that port.
