PAID AGITATORS AND
LABOR LEADERS

BY Striker.
Let me give you the true facts
about these supposedly paid agita-
| tors.
The American Federation of Ho-
siery Workers has man. B. Foster,
who for the last ten years has ably
and successfully filled the position
of business agent for the Amalga-
mated Clothing Makers union and
still is filling that office.
Mr.. Foster is helping the hosiery
workers in their freedom from j. A.
Goodman. and never has received
one red cent for his services. He
has stopped three strikes from be-
ing called at mills here. Mr.. Eos
ter is very much against strikes.
I will prove to you that I am
right One day he received a call
to come to the Fulton mill. The
employees we're going to walk out,
because they had received a cut in
pay and had not been notified I'M
til they we're given their checks. Mr..
Foster averted tbs stike.
When Mr.. Goodman laid off the
leader of our union Mr.. Foster
learned that the knitters we're going
to walk out. He was at Real Silk
at in the morning to see that
everybody went to work.
The last time was six weeks ago
when we asked to have our union
recognized.
We gave Mr. Goodman from
Monday until Thursday midnight
for an answer. At midnight there
was no word from Mr. Goodman.
Mr.. Foster asked that we give Mr..
Goodman little more time. 1t was
when the vote was taken and it
was 100 per cent for a strike.
B. Foster is a laboring man and
not an agitator. He is also one of
the most honest and outstanding Of
American citizens and we are 60
ing to stand behind him as he has
so courageously stood by us.
I might add that William Smith.
who also has been called paid
agitator is the national secretary
Of the American Federation of Full
Fashioned Hosiery Workers and
draws his salary as secretary of the
above organization and not as an
agitator.

Milwaukee hosiery mills before the
strike was called? Did you know
that they are making from S45 to
$50 for work in union mills there?
Did you know that many other
Real Silk graduates are scattered
throughout eastern mills, making
living wages of $50 or better a
week? Yet you would have us be-
lieve that these Real Silk knitters
are not trained and are not compe-
tent.
You had better get a little book
yourself, S. F. H, and read up a

derstanding of unionism, what it
actually stands for, and how it
works. You might find out that
union knitters could not come in

settlement of strike. The men
who worked before the strike were
competent then and would be COM
petent afterward. What do you
think Of that? That not only ap-
plies to hosiery workers, but any
other bona f1de labor union, not a
company union.

lredemptive silver security, rather
than pay out gold for the silver you
buy?
AS I understand, the meaning Of
all the discussion about our money
or dollar, is the fact that the dollar
has become too dear. Would not
the issuance Of government nom
interest bearing certificates have the
effect of making money more plenti-
full and therefore cheaper?
Why buy silver with gold when
you can buy it with paper money
which would be backed by the very
silver you buy?
In line with this idea, it follows
that it would also be wise with this
same money to redeem the out
standing interest bearing bonds pre-
viously issued. The money you re-
deem the bonds with would have the
same security the bonds now have,
the credit of the government, plus
the enlarged gold and silver basis.
The idea of a redemptive feature
for the money of our government is
but relic or inheritance of a period
in history, when most governments
were unstable and the timid citizen
wished for a storm cellar to rush to

ton

Of the government that it shall be

UNION KNITTERS'
STATUS STATED
By &. A. ?.

BY r. A. P.
S. F. H, I know you don't know
what you are talking about. I am
not a knitter nor am I a former
employe of Real Silk, as you say
you are.
The strike Of 1929 you write about
was not strike, since it was not
sanctioned by any one except those
who quit. 1t was only a walk-out,
and you must have been one OF the
walkers out, since you know so
much about it and are disgruntled
because J. A. Goodman wouldn't let
you, along with the other agitatorS
of that walk-out, come back to
work.
There is a demand today for
union knitters, instead Of surplus,
as you would have US believe, and
it shows how much you know about
unionism when you say that these
supposedly surplus knitters would
come in and take the places Of the
local operators when the Real Silk
goes union. Do you know that some
fifty knitters have been graduated
from the Real Silk apprenticeship

THE way Of the criminal not always is hard

SUGGESTION OFFERED
FOR SILVER PROGRAM
By Edward Barker.

By Edward Barker.
To President Roosevelt:
AS loyal supporter and admirer,
bear with me while I offer a sugges-
ton respecting the buying of silver
with the purpose Of putting the gov
eminent on a bimetallic basis.
Personally, I am against any in
trinsic value basis for our circulat-
ing medium; but, if you must have
such basis, I agree that silver
should be used with gold, to broaden
the base.
And here comes my reason for adj
dressing you. I notice that the gov
eminent intends to pay for the sill
yer with gold: this may be, and
would be, an improvement over the
single gold standard. but why not
pay for the silver with government
paper money which would have the

and this freedom shall not have
been in vain.
There are three intolerances listed
III the history Of man. The intoler-
ance of laziness, intolerance of ig-
norance and the intolerance of self
interest.
The three combined will drag any
individual or group down until they
become defeatistS. 1t is my opinion
that the Associated Business Build

cal element of local business men
who are activated largely by the in

COMMUNICATIONS CONTROL

THE senate has displayed judgment in it's
approach to the problem of regulating
communications, It has voted for new COM
mission to study the industry.
Maybe mergers of telegraph companies
would be in the public interest But they should
not be permitted until nonpartisan body has
studied the financial, labor and all other
phases Of such a proposition DR.. w. M. w.
Splawn in his report to the house interstate
and foreign commerce committee made a good
case for strict regulation of the telephone
monopoly; but laws for such regulation should
come only after further study.
The senate communications bill provides
for these studies before permanent legislation
is enacted. The bill, also, is in accord with
President Roosevelt's message asking co-or-
dination of regulation under a single COM
mission
The speed with which the senate passed
the bill indicates the house, too. NAV act
quickly. In the public interest it should.

welt silent the most burning issue confronting
the 100000 unemployed, unemployment insurance?
Let us look to the inspiration for Roosevelt's
speech. He proposes that the entire working class
cease its struggle for higher wages. Remember,
Hoover in 1890, when the crisis first struck the
workers, asked the same thing. Green and the
other A. F. of L. officials at that time seized at
the opportunity to pledge the employers that there
would be mo strikes" The employers promised
there would be no wage cuts"
But what happened? The whole working class
of the country had its wages slashed more than so
per cent. That truce was the signal for the most
unabashed the most vicious drive against the stand
ard of living of the American workers.
Roosevelt wants to repeat this onslaught on the
American workers, this time under the specific con-
ditons of the N-R-A. under his maze and snare of
arbitration boards under the whole scheme which
he has used to hike the profits of the employers
and smash down the standards Of living Of the
workers.
Here is what happened in the textile industry
Under the code, the workers living standards were
beaten down so low, the speed-up increased so fast
