Henderson Ovation
in Mass Meeting
lsneclaI 10 the nallr Morkerl

BRIDGETON, n j., July II.
At a mass meeting Of more
than 200 strikers of the Sea-
brook Farms, Donald Henderson
and Elinor Henderson were
greeted with an enthusiastic ova-
ton as the strikers voted to ac-
cept the proposal to return to
work under the 80 cents an hour
wage scale for which they were
fighting.
According to the terms agreed
to by the rich owner Seabrook,
after a fierce struggle lasting
more than two weeks, there will
be no wage reductions as orig
inally proposed and no discrim-
nation against any of the
strikers.
The workers, forming the To-
cal of the Agricultural and Cam
merry Workers Industrial Union,
also voted unanimously for a
resolution declaring that the first
attempt at discrimination will be
met by another immediate strike.
Elect Delegation
The workers Of the canning
factory on the farm, also out on
strike, reported that Seabrook
has refused to re-hire some of
the strikers. A delegation was
elected to visit Seabrook and the
offices of the Regional Labor
Board at Newark.
The union voted unanimously
to discharge Attorney Horuvitz
for his work in cooperating with
Seabrook and Moffit in the at
tempt to put over the strike
breaking Board.
A public mass hearing and
trial Of Seabrook, the local Jus
tice of the Peace and authorities
will be held at Bridgeton at 2
o'clock, with the District Coun-
ell of the Union as the preferer
of the charge.
At a meeting Of the local of
the Amalgamated Clothing Work
ers here, a vote of cooperation
with the strikers was taken, and
pledges of aid in mass picketing
in the event of another strike
were made.

Strike of 5000 SmeIter
Men Continues Solid

BUTTE, Mont, July IL. - The
strike Of 5000 copper miners and
snlelter workers continues solid. the
Strike Committee OF the Butte
Miners Union declared, denying the
rumors being spread during the last
few days that the three-month
strike had been settled.
Solidarity with the striking min
ers and smelter workers was ex-
pressed by the railroad workers at
a meeting of 700 workers in Butte
recently, called by the Miners
Union. Mcdonald, chairman of the
Railroad Brotherhoods Unity Move
nnent, addressed the meeting, ex-
pressing solidarity with the strik-
ers, and urging militant action,
mass picketing and spreading the
strike to related industries.

Even seasonal pickup in the

The drastic production curtail-

this one-month period, and the
wholesale wage slashes, are fairly
indicative of the national industrial
trends. Speaking before the Insti-
tute of Public Affairs at the Uni
versity of Virginia yesterday, DR..
Carmen Haider of New York said
I'm February, factory production

"In terms of actual nourish-
ment," DIR. Haider continued,
"the workers are worse off today
they were a year ago."
I'm fact" she added, according
to survey of grocery store eXpen-
ditures, the total amount of food
stuffs consumed for the month OF
April, 1894, was actually less than
that bought in April of last year
the bottom of the depression.
More Money--Less Goods
1.-THE actual amount Of money
spent at grocery stores was higher
this April than last. For this
money, however, less goods in terms
of tonnage were obtained, for prices
had gone up"
While prices of foodstuffs con-
tinue to soar, new wage cuts are
handed out in the form of re-
duced working hours and stagger
systems, and new mass unemploy-
ment looms, the working popula-
ton is forced to dispense with
more and more of the necessities
Of life, and in the struggle to
live, greater proportions of de-
creased earnings must be spent
for food alone.

Federal Paw Cut Continues

From the Philadelphia Record
President Roosevelt orders the Is per
cent wage cut for all Federal employees
continued until June 80.
This Federal pay slash, now six
months old, becomes harder 10 under
stand with each passing week.
The President Is engaged in gigantic
effort to restore national purchasing
power. He Is causing billions to be ex-
pended, in public works, civil works and
other ways. to get money to the people
and to business.
The American Federation Of Labor
shows how well he is succeeding in its
annual report It points out that work
ers' incomes have increased by s51a,-
000,0 900 q month, as against q year
ago-and that of the increase, p. w. A.
and c. w. A. are responsible for $780,
900, 900. Private industry has produced
only $243. .000, 900 Of the increase.
But the same Government that Is
doing so much to increase worker pur-
chasing power deliberately handicaps
itself BY cutting the salaries Of hun
dreds Of thousands Of its own workers
IS per cent.
Isn't the purchasing power Of postal
clerks, soldiers, weather statisticians
and other Federal employees Just as I'm
portant as any ether form Of purchas-
ing power? Doesn't their money 70
into business Just as surely as any other
form Of wages?
Why the Government should give
itself q 15-yard handicap in its drive to
carry the ball over the line Is the chief
mystery Of the administration.
