SimpIifie dSwimm.in' ;
Clothes Allowed

For the past two or three
seasons, men have been SWIM
ming in trunks only at private
beaches and in private pools.
Then the fashion began to catch
on at beaches near big cities.
then last winter it was consid-
cred all right at the Southern
resorts.
So now men are discarding
the tops of their bathing suits
almost everywhere. 1t makes
things much simpler, especially
if you're starting out to buy a
new suit. And if you aren't,
let's hope you have a suit with
a detachable top, so that you
can make it do, no matter what
the rules of the pool.
A pair of trunks is much
easier to swim in than a whole
suit, and the main purpose Of
the present.day top is to let in
the sun. so why not discard
it. Then you can wear a short
Sleeved jersey when you come
out of the water, to protect you
from too much sun, or to keep
off any chill breezes that may
be lurking around.

Yesterday we reported at such
length on satin for evening that
you may think it's the only
fabric worn in Paris. So we will
hasten to correct any such i'm.
preston We might have made.
Satin Is newest looking of all
the fabrics, and seen a great
deal, especially as it's Summer,
but it is not the most popular
of fabrics. It may attain that
place in the fall, probably will,
but the more summery things
have first place now, and
rightly so.
There's a rather wintry fabric
called ehichi which is seen q
good deal in Paris, sponsored
especially by Schiaparelli, and
worn by many of her clients. It's
trimmed with anything from
cellophane to plush, however,
wild that may sound to us. We
use cellophane in Summer, but
never plush.
Even Velvet Worn

in pale colors, and Of very
sheer velvet, called Summer vel

Prints are not worn as much
in France as they are here.
They started the season with
considerable popularity, how
ever, some Of which dropped off
as the other fabrics came along.
Prints are used mostly on chif-
fons and sheer cotton materials
such as organza.

course, and for hot weather, as
it's much cooler than the usual

look.

ticking (though it might appear
at any moment), but checked
material, in blue and white, has
been used. It contrasts nicely
with gray or grayish blue trou-
SerS, or with white. The fabric
doesn't wrinkle readily, and
really presents quite a neat ap-
pearance.
The coats seen so far have
been made with a back belt, a
center pleat from the yoke to
the belt, and are plain in front.
This fad suggests many other
washable fabrics to be used
similarly, and ten chances to

and upon the broad mass of steel
workers. BUT I feel that I have

WELFARE of the workers in the
entire steel industry demands that
I speak NOW and speak PLAIN.
First Mistake of Committee of 10
The railroading through of
Green's proposal at this last con-
vention was not the beginning of
this betrayal. 1t started, in fact,
Just as soon as the steel workers
began to organize and demand bet
ter wages and working conditions
from their employers. The case at
Weirton, w. Va, is an outstanding
example of such betrayal All that
the workers in Weirton got was
promises which have never been
fulfilled. All that the steel workers
of the entire country got at this
June IA Convention was more such
promises, just as meaningless.
Ever since our Program of Con-
certed Action, calling for a nation
wide steel strike, was adopted at
the 59th Annual Convention, over
the heads of the Amalgamated Of
fcials. these same officials have
worked, in every conceivable way, to
head off" that strike.
First-They refused to take any
steps to organize and prepare the
strike, because they we're opposed
to the strike from the very start.
Second-They refused to recog-
nize the Committee of Ten elected
at our convention in April to have
charge of the strike. BY doing this
they started a split in our ranks.
The International officials not only
refused to recognize the Cormittee
of Ten, but even threatened to i'm
mediatsly expel any member or
members of that Committee. who
might attempt to act as instructed
by the Convention.
The Committee Of Ten made
the gross mistake CT not calling
their hand. of not daring these
International officials to do their
worst. They should have dared

power over the auto locals, receiv-
ing direct per-capita taxes, etc. He
didn't want to take a final stand,
at this stage before the next ma
tional A. F. L. convention, which
would throw him into a fight either
with the burocrats of the existing
Internationals who want the auto
locals broken up into the various
crafts, or the burocrats led by John
L. Lewis of the U. M. w. A. who
favor new Internationals.
Rank and Filler Applauded
When delegate Mortimer Of
Cleveland spoke he exposed the
stand of Green. He denounced the
statement that the auto workers
ARE not intelligent or experienced
enough to run their own national
union" He was greeted with a big
outburst of applause when he
declared: eve auto workers are in
tellegent enough to decisively reject
Green's proposalI" He gave the
example of his own local in the
White Motor Co. which is run by
the rank and file. This local de-
cided to fight for an increase in
wages and when the A. F. L. Of
ficials tried to decapitate their move
they were kept out of their meet
ings. AS a result the workers fought
for and won their increase and their
local is growing. Contrast this sit
uation, declared Mortimer, with
locals in Cleveland that are domi-
mated by the burocrats. These locals
are not fighting and are losing
members. To get the same results
on a national scale as his local got
we need one all-inclusive industrial
union uniting all auto workers and

selves. Such a union could win i'm

Coal Diggers Realizing
How Roosevelt Is
Pooling Them
BY TONY NIINERICH

BY TONY MINERlCH
THE fact that the Roosevelt gov
l eminent and all of the other So
called friends of labor are for the
company unions and against the
rank and file of the miners is be-
coming more clear. Many coal
miners, under the influence Of
Roosevelt and the N. R. A., are see
ing that they were again fooled.
That there was only a difference
in methods, in being fooled by
Lewis in 1922 and Roosevelt, Pin
chot, McGrady, johnson and Lewis
in 1888 and 1884.
In 1922 the miners had a great
strike. Lewis sent the other miners
back into the mines and forced the
coke region miners to also go back.
There was big difference in the
slogan of "one for all and all for
one" and the deed Of dividing the
miners. The same is true Of Roose-
welt in 1e33-34.
They waited and waited for union
recognition. They did not get it.
Many times the miners were told
that they had it. Phil Murray, In
ternational President OF the U.
M. w. A. also told the miners that
they had recognition. But still they
did not have it.
Again the miners came out on
strike. Again the government and
the U. M. w. A. leaders got busy.
Discrimination Under N. r. A.
In the meantime the Company
union and the Prick Coal Company
was busy. They did not want an
election. They wanted time. They
asked the government for time.
They got it. Lewis gave them more
time.
The company was busy. U. M. w.
A. miners were fired. Strikes took
place. The U. M. W. A. and the
N. r. A. people sent the miners
back into the pits. There will be
no discrimination" these officials
said. And yet this discrimination
took place in every mining camp
The more the officials said nc
discrimination" the more discrimi-
nation took place.
Coal miners knew that as soon as
their place in the mine was finished
they we're also finished. The COM
pany hired new men, all supporters
of the company union. The old
miners were let go-f1red.
Then the company started the
evictions. The miners appealed tc

trary to procedure. Only those that
pay for the check weighman can
vote for one. These are the coal
diggers and the machine men. But
the day men also voted here.

our future, we are licked before we
start.
At the reconvened Convention,
Immediately after Green's pro-
posal was heard and the formal
reports Of the various lodges given,
the Tighe machine proposed that
the Program for Concerted Action
be referred to a committee to be
appointed by Tighe.
Amendments to this proposal
were net allowed!
The whole strike action was left
in the hands of this picked COM
mittee. The decision of this COM
mittee. which considered nothing
but Bill Green's proposal was rail-
roaded through the Convention. So
afraid were the international Off
Gals, that the delegates might get
out of hand, that the Convention
was kept in session until almost 10
o'clock at night and several motions

This outrageous, dastardly be-
trayal, proposed by Bill Green,
which delivers the steel workers to
an impartial board, appointed by
President Roosevelt. the man who
has handed over billions of dollars
to the bankers and industrialistS,
the man who has steadfaStly re-
fused to meet delegations OF steel
workers, has for the moment, been

A. A. membership.
Merged with Tighe Machine
The Committee Of Ten of which
I am a member, must give an &C
count of itself. Whether con-
sciously or unconsciously. they have
laid the basis of this betrayal at
the hands of Tighe and Green.
They laid this basis by captivating
to Tighe and failing to put forward,
independently, the, Z, xonomic De-
msnds of the Cor Z, Zion. Had the
Committee of 2 g. acted in open
defiance ofsI 3 Z had they carried
out the inc . the April Conven-
ton and p6ned preparations for
the strike on every front, this be-
trayal would have been impos-
Sible.
Instead of doing that, however.
they spent most of their time in
Washington in a fruitless attempt
to "see Roosevelt" This running
around after Roosevelt, created the
impression among the steel workers
that strike was unnecessary. That
Roosevelt would step in at the last
minute and help them A thing
which he had not done!

every criticism, which has been or
may be placed, against that Com
mittee for its weakness in carry
ing out its work. A weakness which
has actually merged the Commit
tee of Ten with the Tighe machine.
Steel workers! You must now put
forward, from your own ranks, men
whom you can depend upon to lead
you forward in the fight for higher
wages and better working condi-
tons. Men who will not be as so
much putty in the hands Of Tighe
or Green, but who will be capable
and courageous enough to carry out
a Program of Concerted Action for
a nationwide steel strike.
Steel Workers! Act Now!
Demand that a Special Meeting
Of your Sub Lodge be called at once
Get every steel worker to attend
this meeting and join the A. A.
At this Special Meeting demand
that the Green proposal be re-
scinded. Demand that the Program
Of nationwide Strike be carried
out unless we are granted an i'm
mediate wage increase of at least
35 per cent in the North and IS
per cent in the South. Demand
recognition Of our Union with
agreements signed by our employ
ers covering such wage scales.
In order to carry out this strike
action, do not depend upon Tighe
and the International Officials, but

have control of the Strike. This

Third-They further fomented a
split in the ranks of the workers by
dragging in the old "Rad Scare"
Instead Of leading our fight against
the Steel Barons, they launched
into a nonsensical attack on the
Communists. Using this as an ex-
cuse, they refused to carry out the
program of United Action, or any
other program of action for that
matter, for the workers in the steel
industry.
Fourth-Our economic demands
for the siX-hour day and f1ve-day
week; 81 per hour minimum wages;
abolition of the differential between
the North and the South; equal
rights for Negroes; passage of the
Workers Unemployment Insurance
Bill, H. R. 1898; none of these
things we're ever mentioned by the
International officials of the A. A..
They were never allowed to be pre-
sented to our employers. The only
demand that was presented was the
demand for Recognition, and even
President Tighe cannot explain
what sort of recognition they &C.
tually wanted.
Unless our economic demands are
popularizad before the workers in
the steel mills, we will never be able
to unite and involve the men in
fight for better wages and working
conditions.
Not only that, without presenting
clear Economic Demands, We lay
ourselves open to just such be-
trayels as has been showed down
our Threats and down the threats
of our delegates to the reconvened
59th Annual Convention. We also
make it possible for the steel COM
panies to saw that the workers
have NO GRIEVANCES" We make
it possible for them to say that the
company unions are just as good
as a bona fide union for their en-
ployees.
Above all We must stress our
Economic Demands before the
workers.

Every action of the reconvened

officials, with the open support of
