DAILY Worker Midwest Bureau
CHICAGO. June 26.-"Pay Vim
cents Hospital Bill"
Tear Down All Old Buildings"
PAY Jenny's Hospital Bill"
These slogans and similar ones
are chalked on every wall on Luther
ST., where seven children were
crushed Friday in the collapse of
a condemned building. The resent
ment of the neighborhood children
is so great that cruising squads of
cops that have patrolled the district
hourly since the crash have been
unable to prevent the chalking Of
slogans.
In spite of the ISLANDERS Of the
police, who claimed it was the chill
dren's fault, feeling among the res
idents is very high. Families, try
ing to catch a breath of air on
their steps Saturday and Sunday
night talked of nothing but the fall
of the building and the rotten sys-
tenn that caused the injury to the
seven.
The building, which was deserted,
had been condemned and ordered
repaired or destroyed in May. The
owner, Albert Macho, a wealthy
building and loan shark, refused to
do anything about it. He is a
brother of an Assistant State At
torney, and naturally, no steps were
taken to enforce the order.
The building remained, unguarded,
a menace to the safety Of neighbor-
hood children, for over a month.
Lack Of playground facilities and
the desperate need of the impover-
ished families you don't live on
Luther st. if you have any money
for fuel, made double reason for
the children to play and seek wood
in the abandoned structure.
The final crash followed a heavy
rain which weakened the structure.
Almost a dozen children wer
trapped, and seven Of these we're
hurt, two of them perhaps fatally.
The police intimidation and SIAN
der against the children followed
Immediately, and frantic mothers,
desperately trying to locate their
children, were brutally driven back
by the cops.
Gouging hospital officials forced
the almost penniless families to
raise 81 to pay for X-ray fees.
Investigators from the Young Pho
neers were on the scene a few hours
after the accident, and on Saturday
the Ruthenberg troop of the Y. P.
A. draw up leaflet at a special
meeting called during a picnic in
Douglas Park, which was read to
and approved by over a hundred
people present. This leaflet was
distributed Sunday to the children
in the neighborhood.
Demands that are being raised in
connection with the case are:
1. Free hospital care for the in
jured.
2. Removal of the wreckage which
is still a menace to the safety of
children on the street.
3. Roping off of the street, to
keep out the rush of sightseers'
autos which have made the neigh
borhood unsafe for children.

DickStein Threatens
Raid on UnempLOy ed
Workers Quarters

NEW YORK. - Congressman
Samuel Dickstein yesterday
threatened to send Department
of Justice agents to raid the
headquarters of the Workers
Committee on Unemployment
locals 2 and (af1liated to the
National Unemployment Coun-
cils) unless the officers of the
jobless' group submitted to him
the membership list. Milton
Stone, who is chairman of the
educational committee of the
locals, was subpoenaed by Dick
stein when workers massed at
the Congressman's home last
Saturday demanding that he act
on the Workers Unemployment
Insurance Bill.
While Stone was being ques-
toned by the Dickstein Commit
tee, half a dozen agents of the
Department of Justice were pre-
sent. Questions were hurled to
Stone such as: who is joseph
Brandt?' (section organizer of
the Communist Party-Editor)
What is the Gold Dust Action
Committee?" What is the Re
lief Workers Lacquer"

Silk Workers Out
On Strike in Four
Pennsylvania Mills

in Looms
Especial to the Daily worker)

LANCASTER, Pa, June 26.-
Silk workers in four mills belong
ing to the Balloon Company
walked out on strike at a. m.
today. The strikers are demand
ing recognition Of the union.
Six hundred Of the strikers are
from Athens, where the company
fired 25 men for union activity;
900 are out in two mills in Co
lumia and 200 are out in Marietta
Conditions of the workers are
very bad in these mills. Some of
the workers get only Is hours
work a week. A committee from
the paper, The Lancaster Worker,
offered to cooperate with the
strikers and urged that they carry
on the fight for higher wages and
the 30-hour week.
The strikers have been urged to
elect q rank and file committee
to lead the strike and mobilize
the workers for picket duty.
NEW BEDFORD, Mass, June 25.
AS a result of the militancy of 60
weaVers working in the Old Colony
Silk Mill, the mill owners were
forced to take off the two extra
looms that were imposed upon the
men last week, on their loom jobs.
Last week, as soon as the men
found out that the boss was pre-
pairing some looms for six loom
jobs, the National Textile Workers
Union issued a typewriter lSaflet
which was circulated inside of the
mill on both shifts. This leaflet
stimulated the men into talking
strike action against the six-loom
system. On Saturday of last week
the United Textile Workers Union
CA. F. of L. called meeting Of
these workers. The decision of the
rank and file. in spite of the U,T.W.
leaders, was for strike action, which
was called for Tuesday. Today the
men were informed, through the U.
T. w. leaders, that the boss gave in
to their demands for four loom
jobs.
The only way to insure this vic
tory in this mill is through the or
ganization of rank and file mill
committee, representative of all
unions and of unorganized workers
which must look after the interests
of the workers and be ready for any
action against the victimization of
any of the most active workers.

Greer, Dillon and other A. F. of l..
officials.
WHO SNATCHED THE FULL
FRUITS of Victory from our hands
when workers struck despite the
No-Strike order of Green, Collins
and Co., and tied up the plants solid?
Again it was the A. F. of L. leaders.
THE Automobile Labor Board
set up with the stamp of approval
of the A. F. of l.. officials sup
posedly to guarantee against dis
elimination, acted from the very
beginning against unionism. It's
first act was to bar the recruiting
of workers into the union during
working hours, thus leaving the
field clear to the company unions
Its later actions were all in the
same Spirit-to weaken and pre-
vent any effective struggle against
the employers and to crush strikes.
Byrd, the so-called labor man on
the board, acted side by side with
the others in giving a raw deal to
the workers.
The New Deal, the N. R. A. and
its mediation and arbitration sys-
tenn, which was acclaimed by the
top officials of the A. F. of L. as
New Day for Labor, has proven
to be the chief instrument of the
employers for hog-tying the work
ers.
Greer AS Bad As Collins
Within the official machine, a
struggle is going on for the con-
troll of the Federal locals. Greer is
trying to capitalize on the discon-
tent of the rank and file TO build
his own machine. But Greer and
his clique are no more deserving of
rank and file support than Collins.
He was one of the three men that
saw the President during the March
hearings and asked the President
for new emancipation proclama-
ton. The workers surely got one
in the Washington sell out-the
emancipation proclamation for the
company unions.
RANK AND FILE DELEGATES
steer clear of the whole pack of
scheming, sell-out officials. Unite
your ranks against the disruptive
policies of the officials and for a
program of united struggle against
the employers, the company unions,
and the A. F. of L. officials in the
auto industry!
The demand of the hour is a
united fight of the rank and file
of all unions in the industry for
the improvement of conditions.
The demand of the hour is a
united industrial union of all auto
workers, including the members of
all unions and crafts in the auto
industry, with control lodged in the
hands of the workers in the shops.
We propose for your earnest con-
sideration, the adoption of a policy
for united action, nationally and
locally, of all local unions in the
auto industry: For the 30-hour week
with no reduction in pay; for in
creased wages; against the inhuman
speed-up system; against all cheat
ing bonus schemes, for adequate aid
to the unemployed, for the Workers
Unemployment Insurance Bill;
against the Arbitration Boards and
the menace of compulsory arbitra-
ton; for the right to organize and
strike; and against company unions.

Packing House Men
Prepare Strike in
Indiana Plants
5000 Vote for Strike;
A. F. L. Leader Ok's
Scabby Agreement

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, June 26-
Over three thousand packinghouse
workers in this city, THE Cross
Roads Of the Nation" are preparing
for struggle and strike action for
higher wages and improved work
ing conditions. Approximately
$500 are employed at Kingans,
large, independent packers, and
about 500 at Armours. The work.
ers are organizing in the A. F. of L.,
Amalgamated Meat Cutters Union.
A week ago the day shift men,
bers Of the union took strike vote,
with 90 per cent of the workers
voting for strike if the demands are
refused. The night shift workers
took similar action. The under
standing is that the workers will
strike if the demands are refused.
Last week the International Off
Gals of the union we're down here,
and wrote up a proposed agreement
which was accepted by Galloway,
the local leader Galloway, inciden-
tally, has previously been kicked
out of several unions by the
aroused workers for his misleading
tactics.
This proposed agreement is
typical, calling for the Infamous
merit" clause. The only mention
of wages runs as follows: wages
are to be increased if there is a
similar increase in the packing
houses in the rest of the country"
This will actually mean no wage
increase at all.
The Communist Party of In
dianapolis, in a leaflet issued to the
packinghouse workers, called upon
them to prepare for struggle, and
pledged its support to the workers.
The G. P. warned the workers
against the strikebreaking N. r. A.
boards, such as those which broke
the Real Silk strike here, and
against the splitting tactics of
Galloway, who has repeatedly raised
the red scare" The leaflet further
calls upon the workers, Negro and
white, to unite around a real pro-
gram Of demands, calling first for:
l. At least 20 per cent increase in
pay, minimum rate to be so cents
an hour for common labor.
2. Guarantee of at least 80 hours
work per week. 3. Recognition of
department and shop committees,
and the union of your choice.
4. No discrimination on account of
union membership, race Or color,
equal pay for equal work. 5. Against
the speed-up.
1t is of particular Importance,
also, to stress the unity of Negro
and white, for this is Jim-Crow IN
dianapols, and there are hundreds
of Negro workers in the plant.

Starte d Picketing
Before Betrayal

PITTSBURGH. Pa, June 20
The rank and file of the Anal
gamated Association in the Pitts
burgh District are already mobiliz-
ing the real rank and file opposi-
ton against the Tighe-Green be-
trayal.
1t is reported that a meeting was
held in McKeesport with represen-
tatives from many of the lodges in
the Pittsburgh District at which
over so A. A. rank and file mem
bers were present. They adopted an
opposition program, elected commit
tees in each local union to fight for
this program and organize opposi-
tons in each local union. The re-
sentiment Of the rank and file
toward the committee of 10 and
their part in the betrayal was ex-
pressed this week when a group of
workers from McKeesport Tin Plate
surrounded Forbeck, chairman of
the Committee of Ten, when he was
leaving the mill and called him a
double-crosser and other names
which steel workers use to express
their resentment against such be-
trayers.
Several hundred workers present
at this time and though only two
or three took an active part in this
and threatened Forbeck with phys
ical violence, the workers in the
plant all looked on and grinned with
approval at Forbeck's precarious po-
sition.
MOnesSen Picket Line
On the strike day, before word
had reached Monessen that the
strike had been called off, without
any leadership, the workers began
to form in front of the mill and
picketed the mill whole night,
until definite proof was given to
them that the strike had been Of
ficially called off. over 300 work
erS participated in this. They came
to the gate with their lunch buckets
and stood there the whole night in
virtual picket line, expressing
their desire to strike and were much
disappointed when they heard of
the strike betrayal.
The A. A. claims 100 per cent or
ganization in this plant, but the
workers insist on organizing a mass
meeting to organize into the Steel
and Metal workers Industrial
Union. Such a meeting was ar
ranged for Friday, but the Mayor
at the last minute unanswered and
prevented the distribution of leaf
let's for the meeting. Plans are be-
ing made to hold meeting within
a few days.
The work of the Steel and Metal
Workers Industrial Union in taking
advantage Of a very favorable sit
uation to build the union into a
mass organization in the steel in
dustry is seriously hampered by the
lack of funds to carry through the
necessary organizational work. This
must be Immediately overcome. The
$4,000 drive so far has been shame
fully neglected. The good wishes
OF the Sympathizers of the left wing
labor movement is not sufficient to
realize organizational results from
the present very favorable situation
Such sympathies must be in the
material form. Funds should be
sent to the Steel and Metal Work
