PROTESTS MOUNT IN PHILADELPHIA EVICTION Staying
Vigilance of Fur Union
Achieves Many Victories

Of the union, after $4,000 has been
expended during the past IL months.
Win Demands Of Workers
In centers outside New York the
Fur Workers Industrial Union has
been carrying on energetic strug-
giles and winning demands for the
furriers. In Los Angeles, for ex-
ample, where the Industrial Union
has a majority of the furriers, the
35-hour week has been won. In
Chicago, where the same situation
exists, the union has compelled the
manufacturers to grant the 35-hour
week. However, in those shops con-
trolled by the right wing Interna-
tional, workers are compelled to put
in a 1914 hour week.
In st. Paul and Minneapolis
where the International still con-
trolls the majority of the workers
though terrorism, the 40-44 hour
week prevails. In Boston, too, where
the International reigns, workers
put in the 40-hour week.
Leaders of the Fur Workers In
dustrial Union tell how leaders of
the right wing International in
Philadelphia helped the bosses in
preventing a complete victory in the
struggle for the 35-hour week, in
crease in wages, no discharges, and
for an unemployment fund. The
strike had almost come to vic
torious conclusion, Industrial Union
leaders charge, when Harold Gold

stein, an official Of the Interna-
tional, went to Buffalo where the
furriers were on strike and helped
put over an agreement for the 40
hour week.
When Goldstein returned to
Philadelphia he helped prolong the
strike by promising the bosses the
4O-hour week. AS a result, the In
dustrial Union was forced to COM
promise on settlement for the So
hour week, after a six weeks strike.
All the other demands, however,
were won.
The 35-hour week was gained for
the Cleveland furriers, leaders Of
the Industrial Union point out, as
a result of the united front action
of the left wing furriers and the
A. F. Of L. local of the Interns-
tional, affiliated with the United
National Committee of the N.TWI.
and IF.WU.
A general strike of furTiers Is
now on in its third week in Detroit.
The chief demand here is for the
35-hour week. Two organizers Of
the Fur Workers Industrial Union
are on the ground, and are aiding
the local leadership in bringing the
struggle to a victorious conclusion.
In every fur center of the coun-
try, leaders of the Industrial Union
declare, the organization is waging
energetic struggles and winning
more and more concessions for the
workers.

level of the experienced workers.
When a lay-off takes place, they
are the last to be laid off and first
to be rehired.
The American Federation of La
Dor, toward the end of the last con-
tract. tried to organize the workers
in this plant. They started strike
talk going in the factory. Many
workers joined the union, No ac-
ton, however, was taken. The
union tried to close the factory with
an injunction. This, of course,
failed.
The president of the union de-
cided to open an airplane factory
of his own by having all union
members buy $50 worth of stock. A
few of the workers bought stock
and small factory was rented, not,
however, building planes. They
are now engaged in building guinea
pig pens. This, together with the
inaction of the union, completely
broke up the organization.
Workers Fight Discouragement
The workers now realize that set
ting up their own corporation to
compete with the Glenn Martin
Company won't solve their prob
lens. There are plenty of COM
panies already, with large capital,
good equipment and government
connections. The only way for the
workers to better their conditions is
to rebuild the union on the basis
of a fighting program for better
wages and working conditions.
Many old union members are dis
gusted with the union because of
the lack of activity. But being dis
gusted won't bring us better condi-
tions. At this time our main job is
to go back into the union, see that
the A. F. of L. charter is retained,
and work up real program
around which the union can be
built.
This is the only way we can bet
ter our conditions.
Last winter, while the union was
conducting a membership drive, the
company got worried and came
across with an increase in pay of
close to five per cent.

BY CARL REEVE

The housing" program of the
Roosevelt government is an impor-
tant phase of the accelerated drive
to increase profits by hammering
down the workers living standards.
This housing program includes:
u reduction of the building con-
struction workers wages and
through this reduction in wages.
lowering of the whole wage level of
all workers; . giving the employ
ers free hand and financial aid in
making more profits in all future
building and eliminating govern
ment expenditure on housing in or
der not to eat into the profits of
the private employers.
The demagogy of the Roosevelt
government regarding slum clear
ance, regarding low costing housing
and big P. w. A. housing expendi-
ture now turns out to be hollow
talk. The greatly ballyhooed Fed
eral Housing Act sidetracked all
federal housing projects.
Under the p. w. A. only ten
million dollars has actually been
disbursed for housing projects
since 1t began in the summer OF
1888, according to a U. S. Treas
ury statement of Nov. %. These
figures throw a startling light on
the ballyhoo of Secretary of the
Interior Ickes and other Roose-
welt officials regarding great
housing projects.
A total of $150,000,00O has been
allotted" out of the three billion
three hundred million dollars P. w.
A. funds, very small sum when the
more than a billion spent out of
P. w. A. on war preparations is
taken into account. All of this
$50, 000,00 has been allotted to
private contractors who are to build
houses renting from s12 to SIS a
room month, a prohibitive figure
when it is considered that families
require more than one room. And
of this allotment, it is now revealed
that only ten million dollars has
actually been disbursed

Housing Act, is now the chief hous-
ing program of the Roosevelt adj
ministration. What is its purpose?
Here is what Roger Stefan, di-
rector of Modernization of Credits,
Federal Housing Administration,
said to the bankers convention of
the credit phase of the Act. THE
plan is to release idle funds to SOL
vent property owners now to repair,
alter and improve their homes and
business property. This should pro-
vide an outlet for bank funds that
will net fair return. Here is
a chance to take some paper which
is safe, liquid, profitable, will do an
enormous amount of good and may
be real help to business recov-
cry" This is the heart of the Fed
eral Housing Act, now the "hous-
ing program" of the Roosevelt gov
eminent. Loans are made to prop
erty owners by bankers, at inter
est up to per cent, to be paid
back in monthly installments, in
sured by the United States govern
ment, or guaranteed by security.
Chance to Make Some Money
j. Howard Audrey, Deputy Ad-
ministrator, Federal Housing Ad-
ministration, told the Bankers
Convention regarding Titles II and
III of the Housing Act, which deal
with insurance of amortized mort
cages: eff you will read this Act
you will find in there the possible
ties of your making some money,
and you will find in there the posi-
bilities of your being able to CO.
operate with this administration in
the thing which it has done, on a
basis that is sound and profitable"
Audrey told the bankers how they
could make profits from Title II of
the Act, which deals with insur-
ance OF mortgages made by Sc
lected group of people-a selected
group of people as makers, selected
risks-in the property we are to in
sure" The government does
not touch it anywhere except in
the administration. and in the

tive movement of the government
and business to bring about the
permanent recovery of the capital
goods industry, of which con-
struction constitutes an irnpor-
tant part, than the suggested plan
of Secretary of Interior Ickes to
pump a large amount of federal
funds into low cost housing. This
is practically the unanimous opin-
ion of the leading producers of
building materials, who believe
such step would have baneful
effect on the growing confidence
of finance and industry"
''The attitude of the government
recently has become more reassur-
ing" adds the Wall Street Journal,
praising Donald Richberg.
In other words, Roosevelt is more
openly scrapping his demagogic
promises and speeding up the bank
ers' program of less government
spending" for unemployed relief, of
more direct and open aid to indus
try. and wage cuts. relief cuts and
anti-strike arbitration boards for
the workers.
Secretary Ickes, as well as Moi
felt, openly demanded that labor
cooperate" in these bankers
housing" schemes by accepting
wage cuts. The abolition of the
thirty-cent an hour minimum work
relief wage has the same wage cut
ting purpose. William Green replied
that the plan" sugar coated with
a promise of share the work, will be
given fair consideration.
That is, William Green and the
A. F. of L. leadership have already
promised the Roosevelt government
support in its drive to cut the wages
of the workers and given assurance
that they will sabotage a fight
against the wage cut drive of
Roosevelt.
Roosevelt promises the bankers
profits, and sweet business" from
his housing program. He attempts
to enforce a wage cut on the work
ers in his housing schemes. The
housing program is bankers pro-
gram.

By a Worker Correspondent

BALTIMORE, Nd, Nov 20
Work on the government order for
81 high-powered bombing planes
for the United States Army is now
in full swing at the Glenn L, Mar
tin Company
Early this summer the company
delivered the last of an order for 48
planes. Each of these orders carries
a spare part clause which brought
the first contract to so planes and
brings this order to SO planes. In
this way. the United States govern
ment gets around their treaty obli-
cations. Together, these orders call
for a total of 129 ships. yet the
company will have built 1856 ships.
The Martin Company also has
submitted plans for super type
bomber. These plans have been APP
proved by the experimental and
procurement officials of Wright
Field, Dayton, Ohio. The company
is to build an experimental plane
from these plans and if it proves
successful it will be used as a model
for 200 or more additional ships
under the 1886 procurement pro-
gram.
The workers employed at this
plant receive average wages ranging
from 40 to so cents per hour. This
in itself is bad enough, yet ever so
often they are laid off for periods
anywhere from three months to one
year between contracts.
Speed Up Instituted
On this contract the company is
trying out ways and means to speed
up production. In most depart
ments special time tickets must be
filled out for each operation. Sew
eral workers are given similar jobs
and are made to compete with one
another. Different operations are
combined so as to eliminate some
of the workers. A special system
has been going on for some time
which tends to reduce the wage
expenses of the company. Young
inexperienced workers are trained
to do the more skilled work. They
soon learn to do the work, yet their
wages are never brought up to the
