Furriers Make Gains
In Los Angeles Strike

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 27.-Having
won the strikes in both remaining
open shops in the Harris 81 Frank
Building at 635 S. Hill St., the Fur
Workers Industrial Union is now
leading strike in the last impor-
tant wholesale shop in the trade.
This shop is the Dieterich Fur
Company in the Sun Building. 706
S. Hill st. Pickets are on duty not
only from the fur workers, but
from other sections of the Needle
Trade Workers Industrial Union.
Next week the furriers will begin
series of strikes in the retail
trades, calculated to bring the en-
tire industry in Los Angeles under
100 per cent closed shop conditions
with the industrial union.
The Harris and Frank Building
where the Morris Ball and Cohen &
Hanfling shops capitulated to the
union agreement over the weekend
had long been known as the open
shop nest Most of the wholesale
trade was unionized with the sign
ing of agreements by the Fur Trim
ming and Fur Jacket Associations.
The remaining wholesale shops, of
which the last of any consequence
is now on strike, are shops dealing
in the most expensive furS.

Impartial Labor Board
Helps Fire Carmen

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 27. - Not
only has the Regional Labor Board
refused to order the reinstatement
of seven men who were discharged
by the L. A. Railway Company for
union activity, but it has ruled
specifically that the company acted
in accordance with the provisions
of Section IA in doing so.
Dick L'Estrange, one of the "la-
Dor" members of this board, which
ridiculously pretends to be impair
tial, actually voted with the repre-
sentatives of industry" against re-
Installing the men. Another labor
member, the reactionary John F.
Dalton of the Typographers' Union,
was out of town. L'Estrange's vote
enabled the Impartial" chairman
Professor j. T. Leonard, to remain
impartial" but on the next motion
his consistency as an employers
representative was demonstrated.
The labor" representatives and the
industry" representatives lined up
on opposite sides of the proposition
to declare that the company had
acted in accordance with Section
IA. DR.. Leonard voted with Gin
dustry," breaking the tie.

Fear of Strike Forces
Packers to Announce
Boost in Wage Rates
DAILY worker Midwest Bureaul

CHICAGO, Sept. 81. - Pay in
creases for packing house workers
were announced Monday by the
major packing companies of the
country. What is claimed to be an
8 per cent raise in hourly rates will
be effective on Oct. l.
The tremendous wave Of strikes
now sweeping the country, partic-
ularly the Frisco general strike and
the National Textile Strike were
credited by working class leaders
here as being mainly responsible
for the increases. Fear of strike
action by employees was generally
understood to be the motive behind
the action.
At the same time it was pointed
out that no guaranee of hours were
given. Terrific Speed-up in the Chi
cago Stock Yards has already great
ly increased the productivity of the
workers, with resulting decline in
employment.
Any significant cut in hours here
will more than equal the increase
of the hourly rates.
The major companies were today
claiming the raise as victory for
the company unions. However, the
st. Paul strike and the strikes of
the live stock handlers in Chicago
undoubtedly had far greater effect
on the bosses.

Negro Discrimination May Become Director
By Beauty School Head Of NAACP Law Work

NEW YORK White and Negro
members of the Needle Trades
Workers Industrial Union last week
forced the management of the
Bauers Beauty School, IT West 28th
St., to back down on its policy of
discrimination against Negroes.
The institution gives free service
to the public as part of its training
of students. Last Friday Olga Joffee

vited Vera East, colored, to go along
With them. Miss Merkins, acting
manager and a graduate of the
Rand School (SocialisD ordered the
Negro girl to leave. The three work
ers reported the case to their union,
and a committee was elected to visit
the management.
Miss Merkins insisted the school
will give service to anyone but Ne
groes. The committee declared the
union would picket the place, and
Miss Merkins begged them to first
see the president of the school, M.
H. Einhorn. A few days later the
laster wrote the union that the
incident would not be repeated. The
needle trades workers intend to test
his sincerity by having Negro and
white workers visit the place.

Election Contributions
From Federal Workers

WASHINGTON, Sept. 81. = The
traditional gentle but firm shake
down of government employees by
the campaign committees of capt.
talist political parties is being re-
peated here again by the Demo-
cratic National Committee.
Reports that federal civil SER
vice employees are being compelled
to contribute to the New Deal
war chest were given emphasis by
a statement of Secretary of Agri-
culture Wallace that clerks in his
department were under no obi
CATION to contribute to the Demo-
cratic Party organization
Reports persisted, however, that
George B. Hills, Democratic Ma
tional Committeeman from Flor
ida, has circulated among federal
employees who formerly lived in
Florida a letter that they give /
per cent of their years salary to
the campaign fund.
The Republican campaign COM
mittee, having a smaller grip on
patronage, has thus far contented
itself with contributions from such
groups as the Dupont munitions
and chemical dynasty.
Using the names of various
members of their family, the du-
Points have contributed a total of
$4,000 to the Republican fund
thus far.

Houston joined the prosecution in
declaring Crawford guilty, suggested

ilante bands poured a 15-minute
rain of gunfire into camp of agri-
cultural strikers at Salinas on Tues
day, burned three bunk houses and
all strike relief provisions. and set
fire to the home of a Filipino leader
of the union.
The attack occurred as 300 agri-
cultural workers went back on strike
for a forty cents day wage.
AS in the West Coast general
strike, the vigilante raids were fol-
lowed up by police attacks on union
headquarters and wholesale arrests
of union members.

dubbed everybody in sight, took
away AZ beaten-up workers in am
balances, arrested them and charged
them with assault and intent to

Move Furniture Back
DAILY Worker Midwest Bureau

CHICAGO, Sept. 27.-More than
500 steel and marine workers pre-
vented an eviction Monday night
at 1899 Buffalo Ave, South Chi
cago, in the greatest relief demon
stration ever held in the Chicago
steel district.
More than 100 workers actually
participated in moving back the
furniture, while hundreds of others
applauded them Six squad cars full
of cops arrived too late to stop
the action.
Three speakers addressed the huge
crowd, pointing out the role of the
U. S. Steel Corporation and the re-
dictionary landlord, Reszewik, who
had secured the court eviction
order. The crowd received the talks
with great enthusiasm.
The eviction was stopped by
workers organized in joint action by
the Marine Workers Industrial
Union. the Unemployment Councils
and the Steel and Metal Workers
Industrial Union.

Furniture Men
Win Demands
In Pittsburgh
Recognition ofFurniture
Workers Industrial
Union Conceded

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Sept q. -
After 10 days of strike the workers
of the Keystone Furniture Com
pany, So Arthur Street, won all
their demands. The agreement
which is signed beween the National
Furniture Workers Industrial Union.
Local No. 81, won full recognition
of the Union, no firing or hiring
without the approval of the Union,
readjustment of the price list, and
provision of wage increases in case
the cost of living rises 5 per cent.
The negotiations were carried on
by Joe Kiss, national secretary of
the Union together with an elected
settlement committee from the
ranks of the strikers. Previously
when the A. F. of L. was leading
these workers, the usual procedure
was that the business agent set
tied the strike on a simple verbal"
agreement. Mr.. Coffey, owner of the
plant, attempted this time also to
follow the same method. inviting
Kiss to have a private" conference
with him, behind closed doors with
out the presence of the Settlement
Committee. This was refused out
right by the union representative.
A final victory then followed the
negotiations.
The furniture workers in Pitts
burgh feel confident that the vic
tory gained in the Keystone shop
will be beneficial in opening a broad
membership drive, organizing the
unorganized sweat shops in this city.

ers. More tens of thousands are not
being reinstated by the employers.
These workers face bitter hunger.
The National Unemployment
Council calls upon all its affiliated
bodies Immediately to mobilize the
textile workers for a struggle for
immediate rekef. Wherevre the
Unemployment Council is weak. it
should offer its help to the union
in the organization of the textile
workers for demanding relief.
THE National Unemployment
Council calls attention to the fact
that there viii be wide unemploy-
ment in the textile industry. It is
necessary, therefore to build up I'M
employed organization in every tex
tile center, to force the relief au-
thorities to grant immediate relief.
This becomes a cardinal issue in
those localities where the textile
workers have decided to continue
the fight. In these places, the relief
authorities will try to force the
workers back to work by means of
hunger.
Only the most militant struggle,
coupled with energetic organiza-
tional work will enable the textile
workers to face the winter which is
fast approaching In this struggle
the demand for Unemployment and
social insurance as embodied in the
Workers Unemployment and Social
Insurance Bill H. R. 1898, should be
raised, and all forces be rallied for
the fight.
Not single textile worker shall
go without adequate food and shell
ter-that must be our demand and
aim.
