Workers Greet NRA
By Going on Strike.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Aug. H.
Workers in two shops in the city
have gone out on strike against the
ware and hour terms of the MIRA.
A strike affecting 1900 workers
in the Atwater Kent Manufacturing
Co, radio plant, has begun, for an
incrase in wages. The plant went
under the MIRA electrical code.
The bosses admitted that 100
dissatisfied workers" walked out on
strike.
The men became dissatisfied and
struck when the bosses posted the
NRA code. The workers immedi-
ately saw that this meant wage
cut for them and a worsening Of
their conditions.
On Tuesday, Aug. 9th the Puritan
Stationery Co. placed the NRA
Eagle in their window. The workers
in the packing department sent a
committee to the boss demanding
that he also live up to the so-called
labor part Of the NRA.
These workers demanded the 40
hour week. instead of the Sd hours,
and the increase of their wages
from Sc and 81 week to the mini
mum of $14. The boss refused and
the department walked out on strike.

the strike. They were the first to
hold their milk back; they were the
first to dump scab milk and fight
back at the troopers.
And every day, these small farm
ers realize how their leaders are
weakening when, after they have been
dubbed by troopers their leaders
stated these troopers are manly fell
lows only doing their duty" And
every day, the farmers realize where
they have other enemies besides the
dealers and politicians. In every
community, the pickets have pointed
out that the scabs are in almost every
case, rich farmers, high In church
and in township politics.
OId-Linc Farm Leaders Are Strike
Breakers
The farmers learned as well what
sort of support they could expecJ from
the old line farm organizations. The
Farm Bureau and the Grange have
both come out against the strike. This
does not mean the rank and file
Changers in the strike area, most of
whom are now striking, but the
Grange heads, the professional farm
leaders. The Master of the Grange
in New York, Freestone, called the
meeting at which the heads Of the
Farm Bureau, the Grange and the
Dairymen's League came out against
the strike.
The Dairymens' League not only
announced its opposition to the strike
but printed advertisements in the
papers Of most of the cities and towns
in the strike area which were calcu-
lated to get the city people against
the strike, these advertisements were
signed "By the $4,000 farmers who
own. operate and control the Dairy
mems League Cooperative Associa-
ton. Inc" despite the fact that more
than half the members Of the League
are now striking and a good portion
Of the rest are ready to strike.
The farmers strike Is receiving in
creasing support from the workers in
the cities. In some cases, city and |
town workers are on the farmers
picket lines.
The danger to the strike lies in the |
leadership. Betrayal by Woodhead is
q strong possibility. He is now
the idea that the main
purpose Of the strike is to fight, not
against the dealers, but only against
the Milk Board--the same Board
whose creation he hailed as victory
not so long ago.
Woodlands line is thus playing
right into the hands of Governor
Lehman, who is calling for an "inves-
igation" Of the Milk Board.

back, hobnobbing with the strike
breaking McGrady, who told the
miners to go back to work while
Roosevelt fixed things for them.
zausner holds two offices now, Sec
rotary and treasurer. This will SIM
pity his operations.
Zausner was put back into office
last June with the aid of the power
ful Master Painters Association, to
whom he sold paint and painters in
the last few years as paint sales
man. The employers financed his
election campaign. He also had the
support of gunner and thugs in nom
existent locals which voted for zaus-
ner on election day.
Poosevelt's N. r. A. program put
new life into zausner and his gang
sters. They promise the painters that
the N. r. A. will employ 30 per cent
of the unemployed painters when the
fact is that the August issue Of the
American Federationist" shows that
unemployment among the building
trades has increased since the N.RA.
went into effect. According to off
cial figures in June, 1882, there were
81 per cent unemployed in the build
ing trades, in the month the MIRA.
was passed, the number Of unem-
ployed in the building trades jumped
up to 66 per cent; in July, 1882, there
were Sd per cent unemployed. In
July, 1888, there we're 81 per cent.
This is how the N. r. A. employs"

and handed over to zausner and his
pals.
According to the constitution of
the painters union, assessments must
be adopted through a referendum in
the local unions and through special
meetings.
Saturdays meeting Is strong
attempt to force through the assess
ment, through the whooping up OF
strikebreaker McGrady and windbag
LaGuardia. All the Zausner gang
sters from New York and Brooklyn
are being modified for the meeting.
There will be no opportunity given
to the rank and file to express their
opposition to Zausner's plan.
Program of Rank and File
The Rank and File Committee of
the union is mobilizing the members
to expose the zausner assessment,
and to expose the crooked activities
Of zausner.
The demands Of the Rank and File
Committee are: Q) Reject Zausner's
assessment proposal, and if zausner
puts it through, refuse to pay it.
(2) Before any organization campaign
is adopted, demand the immediate
reinstatement of all suspended mem
bers. (3) Exemption of dues pay
ments for unemployed, who are to re-
main in good standing in the organ
iZation. ca An industrial insurance
fund to be established similar to that
of the furriers and cloakmakers, to be
paid by the bosses for the benefit Of
the unemployed members. (5) The
adoption of the Workers Unemploy-
ment Insurance Bill.
Zausner has a long history of
crookedness in the painters union.
In 1925 and 1926, as secretary Of the
Painters District Council No. g. with
Charles Koenig, treasurer of the Dis
trict Council, he stole over 10000
from initiation fees paid in by new
members and deposit bonds paid by
the bosses.
Zausner and Koenig were caught
redhanded stealing the money. Koe-
mig beat it from the city. zausner
was brought before the criminal
court, but the district attorney re-
fused to indict him, because he said
Koenig was just as responsible and
the two must be tried together.
Five years later these two birds are

at Sill Broadway in New York. have
found themselves the victims of the
crafty code.
The workers Of this firm were Civ
en- a one dollar a week raise This
was to bring their salary IN to the
$11 a week NRA requirements. But
the boss Overlooked" the fact that
the requirements stipulated that
amount for juniors, that is, those
workers under 18 in the dry goods
line. He also overlooked" the fact
that practically all his employees
were over Is years Of age, the senior
requirement, and therefore supposed
to get $14 a week. In fact quite a
number of the workers are over go.
These workers are still earning less
than the $11 wage. Some get as lit
tie as 81 per week.
"A Good Boss"
But Mr.. Lanport is considered a
good boss. He cut one hour off each
working day with the same pay to
meet the code. BUT:
The noon hour has been cut 10
minutes. An hours salary Is de-
Quoted for coming in late in the
morning. While the workers were
formerly able to start after Is
minute allowance to "straighten
cut" they must now start on the
dot. Time is also taken away from
those who wash-up before the clos
ing hour at night.
In this manner the Lamport COM
pany has not only replaced the hour
cut each day to "meet the code, y
but has also speeded up the work
ers under the guise of giving them
shorter hours.
Literary Digest Speed-up
A similar craftiness in the WELD
ing of the code can be boosted Of by
the Literary Digest, Americas con-
sentative and Impartial weekly,
which employs thousand workers
at 1854 Fourth Ave.
Before the advent of the slavery
act many of the workers, who are
mostly girls, worked less than 40
hours per week. They exercised the
privileges" of office workers which
are denied factory workers. There
was no stringent time-card check
up on the time they came in to work.
Oftimes they left earlier. In fact
they managed to get "time off" quite
often to 60 shopping, report sick, etc.
Those workers receiving more than
SIS per week before the code were
given no increase. Wages under SIS
(the blanket code for office work.
ers) were increased to that amount.
BUT:
Forty hours per week now means
an increase in working time for
many. All extra time has been
stopped. The girls must now "toe
the mark" on the time they arrive

Big. Dairy Monopolies
Grind Farmers and
City Consumers
BY DAN LOWELL.

| BY DAN LOWELL.
More than $4,000 farmers are or
strike in New York State today, with
holding their milk, picketing the
roads and dumping the milk shipped
by scabs, fighting off the state troop
ers. What is the reason for this
strike? What are the farmers fight
Ing for? Who are their enemies and
what is the possible outcome of the
strike?
Last winter, when city workers
were paying nine and ten cents a
quart for milk, the farmers were get
ting from one to two and half cents
quart. At the same time. it cost
the farmers at least four and a third
cents to produce the milk. The deal
ers were taking the seven to eight
cents for pasteurization, delivery and
profits-enough for profits to enable
Borden's to pay high salaries to its
directors and net 100000 clear in
1892.
Treacherous Leader
Last spring, the farmers In the
northern counties of New York, espe-
cially around Rochester, went on
strike for higher prices. The strike
was led by Albert Woodhead, q former
Rochester detective who gained pres
tige among the farmers because Of
his attacks on the Dairymen's League.
Woodhead sold out the farmers in
last springs strike. and he is pre-
pairing to do 1t again. He persuaded
the farmers to change the fight from
one against the dealers to one for
the creation of Milk Control Board
which would regulate prices. The
Board was created. Woodhead an
nounced 1t as victory and the strike
was ended.
This victory" has resulted In lust
what the Milk Trust intended it to
result In. AS far as the Milk Board
is concerned, the only way to raise
prices for the farmer is to raise the
price paid by the consumer; there
is no thoueht Of cutting down the
dealers profit.
One farmer at Bonneville, where
troopers attacked the strikers In the
first days Of the strike. showed this
correspondent that he had re-
ceived 80 cents more for a hundred
pounds Of milk Cor AZ quarts) since
the Milk Board rulings took effect
while the dealers gained SIN more
for the same amount Of milk. These
prices are only for the fluid" milk,

necessary here.

The N. Y. Milk Strike Is A Fight
Against the Milk Trust

the cost to the farmer. Thus, that
portion of milk which is sold for
drinking purposes is the class /, or
fluid milk. The Board gives the farm
er four cents quart for this fluid
milk. But that milk going for butter
cheese, cream, ETC., is sold at much
lower prices. So that, where the deal
er gains five times more than the
farmer on the fluid milk, the farmer
gets four cents quart for only a
portion Of his milk.
In addition, the Dairymen's League.
which supplies through Bordens SO
per cent of New York's milk, pays a
pooled price, or an average price to
its members, after deducting operat-
ing and overhead charges. Thus, the
League members got in June HOB
hundred pounds where the other
farmers got about $135 to $150. The
result of the classification plan of the
Milk Board and the pooled price plan
OF the Dairymen's League with its
$4,000 members is to make the aver
age price for milk $128 hundred
pounds or two and seven tenths cents
a quart while the cost of production
is S2.11 or four and one-haIf cents
quart.
Farmers Fight Big Dealers
What do the farmers want in this
strike? They ask for decent living
wage. They demand As per cent of
the retail price, or cents to the
farmer, 5 cents to the dealer and l
cent. for freight charges. They also
ask that the classification plan be
done away with, arguing that whether
the milk is used for drinking or for
manufactured products, it costs the
farmer the same to produce. They
do not want the retail price raised.
They do not want the city workers
to carry the extra amount for the
dealers. They want the dealers to
give up some Of their swollen profits.
In the present strike there are
three sorts Of leaders. There are men
like the Piesick Brothers of Herkimer
County, or the leaders of the vari-
Gus county organizations, middle
farmers ana rich farmers Cike the
Piesicks) who are sincere in their
demands for higher prices, but who
are inclined to weaken In the face
OF the attacks and provocation of
the state troopers; there is Wood
head, built up by the capitalist press
rs leader, waiting for the chance to
sell out the strike as he did last
spring; finally there are the picket
captains.
In the actual daily struggle, In, the
fighting with the troopers and the
stopping Of scab milk, the pickets are
the leaders of the strike. They are
mainly the poor farmers together with
he farm workers on the poor farmers
ARMS. The fact that those counties
where the strike exists are striking
almost 100 per cent is due to the ac-
,ivity of the poor farmers who spread
