StOrmySeSSiOnsMarkIOoL,
Dye Makers Contention
Amidst Cheers, Convention Representing 10000
Endorse Workers Unemployed Insurance Bill

One significant fact became clearly
demonstrated throughout the course
of this convention. Matthew Smith,
general secretary, had witnessed his
popularity waning, while Chapman
became the delegations favorite.
Smith had evidently underestimated
a wave of radicalism manifested by
the various groups. If he persists
in his attitude of brotherly love and
Cancellation" towards the EMPLOYERS,
he may find himself back on the
shop bench again and this is equally
true Of the other officials. In the
face Of wholesale violations of codes,
discharging stewards, and individual
abuses against union members, the
present leniency shown offenders
cannot be tolerated any further. The
terrible speed-up instituted by the
job shops especially, is responsible
for the stiffeniag Of militant frame
Of mind of the increasing numbers
Of victims, clamoring for Jobs around
the offices Of the locals; the problem
OF this burden becoming heavier day
by day.
The resolutions committee con-
sidered the Lundeen Workers and
Farmers Unemployment Insurance
Bill submitted by Brother John
Anderson, providing $40 per week plus
So per week for each dependent, for
all unemployed, which had been APP
proved without any opposition and
passed unanimously amid cheers.
The Convention decided to Or
ganize all production workers in adj
dition to its own tool and die crafts
men. An organizational committee
had been elected for this purpose to
function Immediately. Experience
upon the picket lines in the last
strike had shown the absolute neces-
sity Of strict rigid cooperation. Tool
and Die makers are now extending
hand Of friendship to their produc-
ton brethren, consolidating their
forces; thus insuring success and q
complete tie-up in case d strike is
called.
A rank and file election had been
held some time ago, by secret ballot.
The following national officers were
elected: General President, John
Chapman CTeledo); Secretary, Mat
thew Smith; Treasurer, w. Russell;
Vice-President, j. Murdoch; Organ
izers, Harry Harrison, j. ]. Griffin,

Aluminium Go. of America
Most famous Of Melons corpora
lions is Aluminium Co. of America,
which, through its control of raw
materials and patents, holds a 100
per cent monopoly on the manu-
facture of this extremely useful light
weight metal. Aluminium is one
third the weight Of steel and just as
strong when properly alleged. Alunni-
mum Co. of America, ever since its
organization way back in the B0's,
has enjoyed the express protection
Of the United States government
through patents, tariffs and failure
of government departments to pros
ecute it under the antitrust law
Its tremendous profits have exceeded
s20,000,o00 in one year. The sweat
shop inquiry in Pennsylvania in 1888
found that Aluminium was firing men,
earning 81 and IS day, from some
departments, and hiring women to do
their work at Is cents an hour. :.
The full list of Mellon companies
fills many pages. They are heavy
stockholders in the Pullman sleeping
car monopoly, Pittsburgh Plate Glass,
American Tar Products, and National
Lumber 81 Creosoting.
The Melons are the perfect ex-
ample OF the fusion of industrial and
finance capital. Their $250,000, 600

Get Tribute in Steel, Oil.

BY HARVEY O'CONNoR
Author of MELONS Millions


Mote: The following was taken
from the pamphlet by Harvey

tionaI Pamphlets, 1893 Broadway,

TOWERING among the financial
4 giants is the Mellon family with
its billion-dollar hoard, probably the
largest in America, The Pittsburgh
tltans Of finance capital, are directly
interested in corporations with assets
of $10.500,000,00o.
Although he is usually described as
king of aluminium, Andrew Mellon,
former secretary Of the Treasury,
raked in his billion from an amazing
variety of industries. For the
Melons draw tribute from real estate,
banking, steel, railway equipment, oil,
coal and its myriad by-products,
aluminium, utilities. Workers in al
most every industry you can name
are being exploited to enchance the
financial power Of the Melons.
Count off the major enterprises OF
Mellon and you will include most of
the basic industries.

up meetings and picket lines. After
SIX weeks, the workers were forced
back under promise of arbitration.
In 1915, at Massena, New York, his
aluminium workers struck, took pos
session of the aluminium plant and
threw up a barricade in front of the
main gate. Governor Whitman Gre
publican) of New York, sent in COM
panies of militia which stormed the
barricades and finally drove the
workers out in q series of bloody
encounters. Strikers homes were
raided and a strike leader later died
Of wounds inflicted by guardsmen. A
hundred workers were jailed. The
strike was soon settled with the COM
pany promising slight wage increases
and correction of grievances over
rents.

ers in New Kensington struck, de-
manding the 8-hour day and rec
ognition of A. F. of L. unions, but
were defeated when the company
shifted its war orders to other plants
The workers were forced back after
three months.
In the Standard Steel Car Works
at Butler, Pa, in 1919, state troopers
beat back workers who joined the
great steel strike. The troopers horses
were trained to kick in the doors of
workers homes and to enter, scatter
ing terror among wives and children
of the strikers.
In Pittsburgh Coal, however, the
Mellon labor policy came to highest
fruition. R. B. Mellon, once chair
man Of the company's board, prac-
tically admitted before a Senate COM

Mines Corp, and Rockefeller's Con-
Solidation mines, took the lead in
1925 in breaking contract with the
United Mine Workers and smashing
that union. Miners were evicted
from the company towns In which
they had been forced to live; coal and
iron police, licensed by the state and
paid by the coal and steel companies,
terrorized strikers. Tear gas and ma
chine guns helped the operators.
When miners Joined the National
Miners Union in 1881 and conducted
another great strike, Pittsburgh Coal
Co. exceeded It's previous efforts.
Dozens Of miners were shot, hundreds
were gassed others were sent to prison
for long terms. their families evicted
and starved But Pittsburgh Coal
superintendent and bunch of COM
pany guards at Arnold, Pa, who shot
and killed John Philipovich, strike
sympathizer, were convicted of mere
manslaughter and paroled. Two Pitts
buroh Coal guards who tortured Mike
Barkoski to death in their police bar
racks were given light sentences.
In the company town the company

mated by one or both of these groups.
Mellon and Labor
Mellon is staunch believer in
long hours and low wages for his
workers. The state sweatshop in
vestigation in Pennsylvania in 1888,
as We have noted, revealed that his
aluminium factories paid 10 cents an
hour to women. His aluminium plants
worked the 11h-hour shift even in
1888.
Strikes periodically convulsed his
spy-ridden factories and mills. In
1918 his aluminium workers in New
Kensingto9 revolted, and wives of
strikers "a led bIacksnake whips TO

Baltimore Seamen
Win Strike Which
Lasted One Day
Get SO Increase i'm
Wages; Set Up Ship
Committee

BALTIMORE, Md, March ABBY
Mail) The crew of the S. S
Buffalo Bridge struck here under
the leadership of the Marine
Workers Industrial Union and
forced the company to increase
wages Of all hands.
The ship was boarded last week
by union delegates, who, with
other members of the Marine
Workers Industrial Union, mus
tered the crew aft and gave them
an outline of what the organized
seamen did in this port-how they
are running the relief agency and
how they established their own
Centralized Shipping Bureau con-
trolled by the rank and file.
The ship delegate had already
discussed these questions with the
men and had them lined up ready
for action (which emphasizes the
Importance of having delegates on
all ships.
The ship was chartered by the
Bull Line and the crew discussed
the Bull Line wage scale which
was $40 higher than the scale of
the Nelson Line, which owned the
ship.
The crew put forward the fol-
lowing demands:
THAT Bull Line wages be
paid to all members of crew;
Clean linen, one face, one
bath towel be issued weekly;
Buckets and soap be issued;
Overtime to be Paid at the
rate of IS cents per hour; s.
Recognition of Ship Committee;
6-No one to be fired for taxi
ing part in this action or is
sues arising out of it.
At the payoff the new articles
called for the old rate of pay,
and the crew refused to sign and
presented the demands to the cap
tain. The captain, seeing the crew
well organized, notified the crew
that he notified New York, and
that he would give them the an
swer when he received it. The
crew mustered aft and discussed
the smallest details on how each
man was to conduct himself.
Win All Demands
About two hours later the Port
Captain came aboard and the
ship committee went forward and
had discussion, as a result all of
the demands were met, oilers get
ting an increase of SIS and the
rest of the crew received an in
crease Of $40. The strike was
run in such an orderly manner
that the engineers and officers
complimented the crew on the way
the Strike was conducted.
This ship leaves port with a
functioning ship committee and a
100 per cent organized crew, and
with perspective of next time
raising the strike to a higher level.

By a Worker Correspondent

DETROIT, Mich.-The Mechanics
Educational Society Of America held
a convention on Feb. oath and 25th,
representing a membership Of 10000
tool and diemakers.
A convention for the establishment
of a constitution and bylaws had
been held at Schiller Hall on the
oath and transferred to the Carpathia
Hall on the following day. Delegates
representing Detroit, Toledo, Pontiac,
Flint and Salem, attended, practl-
cally in full force.
After a good many stormy mo-
ments, the proposed constitution and
bylaws had been formally adopted.
Many revisions and alterations were
found necessary.
The first tilt arose over the pre-
amble. A resolutions committee had
been elected. This body rejected the
preamble submitted and strongly
favored one offered by Brother John
Anderson, embodying class strug-
gle spirit. Harry Harrison, one of
OIlG bIlU Vi VI 5oe4iA1C4os AGAoCA SvA SA4N
GUS objections to the adoption of
Brother Anderson's proposal.
When the first session adjourned,
Brother Brown criticized Harrison
for his stand against the new pre-
amble and fist fight was narrowly
avoided in the dining room just be-
fore the delegates lunched.
Brother John Chapman, the newly
elected general president Of the
union, offlciated as chairman during
the entire convention, relieved tenn
porarily by Brother J. Murdoch, our
present general president. 1t
must be stated here that Brother
Chapman handled the craftsmanship
in an admirably mastery manner.
