LOS ANGELES, Cal.-The work.
ers of HUFFMAN Bros. shop Of Los
Angeles forced mass picketing
against the stagnant leadership Of
the Amalgamated Clothing Workers
Union, in conjunction with the
MIRA.
They were on strike for 10 weeks.
For Il weeks the leadership did not
bring forward a program of action
or encourage any militancy, but in
stead gave the entire strike situa-
ton into the hands of the NR.A.
against the protests of the strikers.
After two weeks the MIRA. con-
clusively decided with the consent
of the union officials that the boss
shall abide by the previously pre-
vailing conditions and the workers
must stop picketing.
The firm threatened a 20 per cent
wage-cut. Thereupon the workers
held a shop meeting and unani-
mously decided not to accept a re-
duction in wages. The boss refused
to negotiate with the union. He
Schemed ways and means to scare
the workers. He made them work
part time. He kept the shop closed
for five weeks, after which he noti-
fled them individually to come back
and resume work, and he proposed
the conditions. One of the workers
notified the union, and again all
the workers held shop meeting at
which they unanimously decided to
call a strike.
But the Amalgamated gave con-
cessions to the boss! In the coat
department three scabs remained at
work. The foreman cutter is not
to work any longer" than the other
cutters. The vest department re-
main unsettled. In the pants de-
partment the work should be sent
to a union contractor and all scabs
ought to be eliminated, but instead
all the scabs remained at work
All the strikers went back to work.
The old conditions remained.

Forced to Sign
AOGyRights to
Reg.uJarWages
Los Angeles SpOrtswear
Dress Workers Plan
Struggle
By a Needle Trades Worker
Correspondent

LOS ANGELES, Calif.-The In
ternational Ladies Garment Work
ers' Union was instrumental in
helping the bosses evade the code
in the sportswear shops in this city.
A wage increase gained by the In
ternational is a so per cent decrease
in actuality-as in the case of the
Taskee Dress in the recent Today
strike.
Mr.. Scotty and Mr.. Busick settle
garments for 30-35c the strik-
ers militantly rejected the settle
ment. They held a shop meeting
and elected a price committee to
re-settle garments. AS a result,
they gained a so per cent increase
on the very same garments.
In the so-called union shops"
the workers are forced to work dur
ing the lunch hour in order to
possibly make the dress code rate.
Bosses force workers to sign papers
that they are "sub-normal" and
therefore are physically unable to
make the code.
The workers have no rights in
the shops. Unequal division of work
prevails. Fast workers are given
better work and a higher price on
the garment. Men are given better
work than the women working to-
gether in one shop. There are price
committees in the shops but they
are not granted the right and priv
ilege to function as such. The bosses
dictate prices for garments. Scabs
are permitted to work along with
the union workers and are given the
preference to better work. The
bosses threaten to enforce a 40
hour week.
In one shop, the boss planned to
give the right to the employees in
the legal holiday of Washington's
Birthday. The "chairlady'' under
the instructions of Mr.. Scotty, COM
PEELED the workers to work on that
day.
There are about 30 sportswear
shops in this city employing about
400 workers. These shops produce
the finer and higher priced gar
ments in the dress industry.
The Needle Trades Workers In
dustrial Union is intensifying and
concentrating its forces on organiz-
ing the sportswear dress workers.
Not long ago a group of militant
workers met, and only five shops
were represented. The week fol-
lowing another conference was held
at which ID shops we're represented,
and nuclei in these shops were es-
tablished. AS an outgrowth, a mass
meeting was held with large and
enthusiastic attendance. A program
of militant action was brought
forth-a minimum of 90c an hour;
to Standardize the 35 hour week;
and complete union control of the
entire industry.

WE SAIL AMONG THE COLOR.
ISLANDS

In order to determine in what
ways it is safe or not safe to alter
externally any colors of the hui
man body it is best to investigate at
least briefly, the nature of such
processes.
Color, the scientists tell us, is non
existent as a concrete substance: it
is an Illusion caused by the various
length of light rays reflected by a
specified substance. To effect an
alteration of color in any part of
ourselves two methods may be en-
ployed: altering by chemical re-
action Of our own substance, so that
light rays of different length are
given off bleaching etc., or by ap-
plying a coating Of a substance Of
the color desired.
Pigments used for coloring or
staining fall into two general cate
gories-inorganic and organic. Or

vegetal or animal origin, and are

does not much affect our use of
them for cosmetic purposes.
Inorganic colors consist of me-
tallic or other mineral substances,
or both: some mineral colors (earth
or stone or crystal powders being
practically permanent and immune
to chemical reaction. Such colors
are in high favo- with painters
wishing to make permanent can
vases, even though the range of
such colorS is very limited. Metal
lie colors are subject to change
through oxidation They may also
have an effect on other substances
with which they come in contact.

plication to skin or hair as the
