BY MORRIS KAUFMAN

The Laundry Code which was
worked out by the employers and
the New Deal government Labor
Board promised shorter hours and
higher wages for the laundry work.
ers. Section Ia of the Recovery
Act promised and was supposed to
guarantee the workers the rights
to organize and to collective bar
gaining. The New York State Mini
mum Fair Wage Law was to guar
antee 81 cents per hour for women
workers and minors. The great A.
F. of L. was to organize the work
ers and to enforce all these con-
ditins. The LaGuardia progressive
City Administration promised to
force the laundry employers to live
up to the law or stop their water
and revoke their licenses-but what
happened?
The drivers were eliminated from
the code under the pretense that
they are statesmen and commission
workers. The laundry drivers of
Greater New York were told that
only the A. F. of L. would be recog-
nized by the government as the
only a bona fide labor organization
and the small drivers Local 80 of
the Transfers International, con-
trolled by the present convicted
racketeer, the famous Mr.. Samuel
Rozensweig. This local grew with
out any work on the part Of the
officials from $50 to abut 5000 mem
oers, but instead of militizing this
force to better their conditions
Local $40 under Rozensweig (true
to his colors) signed contract with
Mr.. German of the bosses associa-
ton without knowledge Of the
membership, promising not to call
any strikes but leave it to arbitra-
ton which shall be final. Now
when the drivers learned about this
sellout contract of the 5000 mem
bers, 300 remained.
There Is a corps known as the
Laundry Workers International
with a membership in the U.S.A.
of less than 5000. When the State
Minimum Fair Wage Law was
passed by the New York State As
sembly on October 2, 1888, an en-
forcement board was appointed and
M. j. Mackay, the third vice presi-
dent Of this Laundry international,
was appointed to represent the
laundry workers on this board.
Realizing its opportunity the Laun-
dry Workers International began
to hand new charters-in Brooklyn,
Local 1856; in Bronx, Local 80 and
their % year old local in New York
Local $50 which only had about $50
shirt ironers who worked in small
hand laundry stores-before Laun-
dry Local $50 which is in Manhat-
tan, called strikes without consult
ing the workers but depending on
the N.R.A., in the Quick Service"

Independent Unions
Discussed BY StGcheI
In New Tabor Unity''
Takes Up Vital Questions of Policy in Uniting
Workers Dissatisfied With the A. F. of L.

I that the A. F. of L. is the largest
trade union center embracing mil
lions of workers. the central task
Of the whole revolutionary move
mnet is to work among these work
eTs, Stachel goes on to discuss the
question Of an Independent Fedora
ton of Labor:
The whole policy Of aiming to
unite the T.U.UL. union and the in
dependent unions in each industry
at once raises the question of the
uniflcation of the T.U.UL. which is
the center of numerous industrial
unions together with the indepen-
dent unions into one unified class
Independent Federation of Labor.
1t can even be put the other way
around, namely: that the need for
such an independent center arises
from the very existence of the vari-
Gus unions side by side with the A.
F. of L. and the T.UU.L., and the
consideration Of such a center raises
the question of the unity of the
T.U.UL. and independent unions in
each industry. 1t is not conceivable
that such a center should be formed
and that it shall include more than
one union in a given industry. This
would be contrary to the very pur-
poses of such a center.
1.-THE Independent unions, if left
to themselves, will either break up,
be converted into unions similar to
the A. F. Of L., or even become part
of the A. F. of l.. The Lovestone
renegade leaders of the shoe work
ers already at the Boston amalga-
nation convention wanted to affili-
ate with the A. F. of L. But because
of the genuine left elements, and
because of the leadership these ele-
ments gave to the workers organized
in the union, the renegades and So
cialistS could not put over their
plans. But they have by no means
abandoned them. This same situa-
ton exists in other independent
unions.
"On the other hand, there are
some among the reformists who
would like to form new center in
between the A. F. of l.. and the
T.U.U.L. As already mentioned
above, this would be a reformist
center and against the interests of
the workers. The T.U.U.L. is of the
opinion that only by uniting the
workers in unions can these workers
in the independent unions take the
Path Of class struggle and the effec-
tive fight for their interests"
This unif1cation can be best
achieved and a strong Independent
Federation of Labor can be built
by strengthening the work in the
T.U.UL and by increasing the
membership of the T.U.U.L. unions,
Stachel points out.
This article in the Labor Unity
should be read, studied and dis
cussed by every New York trade
union member.

to obtain their 1885 license plates.
This warning was issued today
by Traffic Director William A.
Van Duzer, who added that any
person operating an automobile
on the 1884 tags after midnight
Monday will be arrested. The po-
lice heads are also considering the
impounding of cars found parked
on the streets without proper
plates.
Mr.. Van Duzer estimated today
that it will be almost impossible
to issue all of the remaining 15,-
900 tags during the next three
days His bureau can handle only
900 plates an hour, he declared.

There was the swellest title shop
called THE BUD DRESS SHOP,
1906 G ST, and all the wise
people of the land went there
because they had such lovely
things so reasonably priced. One
day, just before New Year, they
decided to offer exquisite evening
gowns for $6.98 and 1898 so all
the Cinderellas of the kingdom
could go to the ball AL dolled
up" Now these dresses came in
sizes from IA to 20 so the plump
as we'll as the lean maidens could
look their best for the princes.
All who bought these dresses,
soon won a knight and they
married and lived happily ever
after. and the best part OF this
is that it's not a fairy tale. g..
