the Settlement Committee, aroused
tremendous applause when he rose
and in angry mood answered Stet-
tin: Were not in here to tell
the workers to compromise. If the
bosses have any offers to make, let
them make them and we will bring
them before you for consideration.
Guys that make remarks like Stet-
tin did, should be thrown out of the
window"
Vigorito was followed by Emit,
president of the Passaic local, who
stated: I'VE don't want any out
siders like German or Mcmahon to
come here and help us settle the
strike. The members will settle
their own strike. We have good
Settlement Committee. Passaic is
out 100 per cent and we will stay
out until we win 81 an hour and a
30-hour week"
Stettin's remarks were like letting
the cat out of the bag for the work
ers. Their suspicion now has been
aroused even more, and they are
watching carefully for the slightest
move of the officials.
There is common talk that Stet-
tin be removed from the Settlement
Committee. Workers from the IN
ternational A Shop, of which he is
chairman, are especially indignant
and it seems quite certain that he
will be removed as chairman.
Some Officials for Compromise
Another conference is now taking
place between the employers and
workers. 1t is reported that several
officials, whose opinion Stettin OBJ
viously expressed, are for accepting
the offer of "a cents an hour for
a 36-hour week.
The bosses do not even concede
the preferential shop, which would
enforce the hiring of union men in
the future, They merely give the
union freedom to organize" The
joker, however, which thus far has
not bet been brought before the
membership, is that according to
the offer, the bosses will likewise
have the freedom to fire anyone
they please for union activity, with
the union seeking justice of some
N. r. A. Board, where there is no
chance for them.
tional Labor Board is not in any
great hurry to settle the strike, and
are cooperating with the employ
ers in an effort to starve the work.
ers into submission. AS one Of the
steps designed to let things drag
and try to cause a break in the
ranks of the workers, it is reported,
will be the plan of the National
Labor Relations Board to have its
speakers appear before the workers.
According to the mood Of the work.
ers, however, they will face a solid
front of strikers, more determined
to fight until victory.
Pickets made the regular patrol
around the entire river side region
and were satisfied that not a single
SCaU wac WOl hlllS. llC OyC lOlC-
mems local has called all its men
out. They are to remain out until
the strike is settled. The transfers
are not handling any scab goods,
which makes this tie-up the most
complete the industry has ever eX-
perienced.
A letter from the Allentown or
ganizer of the union reported to the
strikers that the Mayor Of that city
refuses to let cars of pickets from
other cities enter, and that only
local pickets would be permitted at
the plant there. But the workers
were told that these restrictions
will not be regarded.
The need for strike relief is be-
coming more serious than ever.
Charles vigorito, who acted as
chairman of the meeting, told every
worker who is in need to register at
the union and tomorrow all are ex-
pected to go in a body to the Emer-
gency Relief Office and demand to
be placed on the relief rolls.
