Edison Employees to
Push Fight in Court

NEW YORK. - Plans to continue
their struggle against the powerful
Edison Co. through the courts, despite
previous decisions favoring the COM
pany were announced last week by
the attorney Of the Brotherhood OF
Edison Employees, an independent
union OF Edison workers.
On Wednesday the Edison Co. car
ried through q referendum to deter
mine whether its employees were
ready to join the independent union
or the company union plan which it
proposed. known as the Association
of Edison Employees. Both the COM
pany and the union officials declare
in advance of any count that the vote
will indicate majority for the COM
pany plan. Coercion and every form
Of intimidation was practised by the
company before the balloting. No
tellers we're permitted from the
Brotherhood.
The attorney for the Brotherhood
declared yesterday that he would go
to the courts to declare the decision
to join the company union invalid.
Previous attempts Of the Brotherhood
to get an injunction restraining the
company from interfering with their
organization had failed. A temporary
injunction was granted, but later
rescinded, with both parties agreeing
to this decision.

allow the president of Princeton Uni
versity, DR.. Howard w. Dodds, name
the impartial" chairman of the
compulsory arbitration board. They
further agreed that if they have a
grievance they must give the arbitra-
ton board sixty days notice before
it Is considered.
The wage scale is to be adjusted
every sixty days by the Arbitration
board" and no doubt after the men
are forced back to work the scale
will be lowered The claim now is
that the wages will be five per cent
more than the wages paid to silk
workers in two other fields. Since
the other fields always have received
lass pay than the Paterson fields, the
agreement means in reality a wage
reduction for the strikers.
Although the statement of Greene
was printed in the papers, the agree
ment itself has not been made pub
lie, and is being kept secret. The
balloting On the agreement will take
place Monday. The agreement was
not read to the members Of the union
until this afternoon. The crafts are
to vote separately.
A Company Union
The secret agreement gives the U.
T. W. union recognition" giving the
dues control to the union leaders,
and at the same time makes the u,

the clause that the union gives up its
right to strike in the future. The

three U. T. w. leaders, three manu-
facturers and one neutral" chair
man, who will be chosen for his
friendliness to the employers.
The manufacturers made it clear
in these secret conferences, which
went on for four days, that they are
agreeing even to the wage scale pro-
posed only to get the strikers back
to work, then under the no strike
clause, they can cut wages dras-
tically in 60 days. The union lead
ers have agreed to give up all wage
demands and have completely be-
trayed the strikers.

ing railwaymen are concerned.
Green even attempts to make a
virtue of the spread the work
spreading the misery plan initiated
by Walter C. Teagle, head of the
violently anti-labor Standard Oil Co.
Of New Jersey. The effort of en-
ployers to keep their men at work,
even if only part time, is indicated by
union part time figures which have
shown an increase in part time work
in both October and November. The
number of members on part time has
risen from 20 per cent in October and
% per cent in November"
Green's unemployment figures have
always been VIGOROUSLY biased in
favor of the employers, being DELHI
erately calculated to minimize the
impression of the extent Of jobless-
ness among the American workers.
Six months ago, when even so con-
sentative an organization as the Ma
tional Industrial Conference Board
admitted 100000 unemployed, Green
did not admit more than $4,000, 900.
His reluctant admission of growing
unemployment today is thus, all the
more significant Of the extraordinary
army Of joblesS American workers.

WESL Wins Right to
Represent War Vets
at Claim Hearings
Force Federal Review
Board to Withdraw
Objection

NEW YORK. - The Workers Ex-
ServicemenIS League won signal
victory at the Veterans Admins
tration in New York Saturday morn
ing. Review Board No. s, appointed
by Roosevelt to pass ON preSumptive
cases, accepted Harold Hickerson, Ma
tional Secretary of the W.E,SL., as
the representative OF Heketa Pase-
chnik, world war veteran.
The veteran called to review his
case for pension under the regula-
tons for June 10, 1888, was sup
ported in his claim by Samuel Gold
berg, I. L. D. attorney for the W.E.SL.
The case Of Pasechnik is similar to
thousands Of veterans roaming the
streets today. He filed claim In Oc-
tober, 81, 1888, and was diagnosed by
the Veterans Bureau in November of
the same year as a Dement'S praecox
case. However, it was not until Oc-
tober, 1882, that he was awarded COM
pensation. Yet under the World War
Veterans Act of 1924, any claimant
was automatically entitled to COM
pensation, really back-pay from June,
1924.
A letter from the Veterans Bureau
for January T. 1924 admitted his
mental disability at that time was of
long duration and was presumed to
have been aggravated by service. Not
having received any back pay for
eight years he is now cut Off fronA
the miserable compensation paid him
since 1882.
The chairman of the Review Board
at first objected to WESL. repre-
sentation, on the basis that it was not
a duly accredited organization. But
Hickerson pointed out that the
WESL. with a membership of over
$4,000 is in a position to represent and
share in the struggles for veterans
rights. He also pointed out that all
evidence Of affidavits supported the
veterans claim for continuance on the
pension rolls.
At this point Attorney Goldberg
quoted the law which states that a
veteran has the right to choose his
own representative.
He brought to the attention of the
Board that the regulations state that
veterans be given benefit Of doubt
when submitting claims. This is the
government position but one which
the boards do not take seriously
Proof that it is a hypocritical phrase
may be cited from the fact that many
states show 80 per cent of the vet
Grams have been dropped altogether.
Every obstacle is placed in the path
Of the veteran seeking claims.
Faced with these incontrovertible
facts, the board was forced to accept
the W.E.S.L. as duly accredited
representative
Heretofore the only veteran repre-
senstativeS allowed were the Amer
lean Legion, Veterans Of Foreign
Wars and Disabled American Vet
Grams. This precedent puts the
Workers Ex-Servicemen's League in
the forefront Of the struggle for the
veterans rights and demands.
