Conference Yields the Fur Workers
Into A National Front of Struggle

in ease the N.R.A. administration
will refuse the Just demands of the
far workers for substantial reYi-
sion of the labor provisions of the
code, a national general strike
should be declared.
Ia this manner the militant fur
workers will defeat the code, that
threatens to wipe out all the gains
they won under a policy of clear
cut class struggle. Here we wit
ness the results of the theological
and organizational activities of the
Industrial Union, which schooled
the workers to depend only on their
own militancy to improve their
conditions.
One OF the most outstanding fea-
lures of the conference was the pic
ture unveiled by the rank and file
delegates from Detroit, Philadel-
phia, Cleveland and Los Angeles.
1t was the same picture all over
OF workers betrayed, abandoned and
sold out by the A. F. of L. leaders.
Wherever the International Fur
Workers Union has still some foot
hold in the trade, one betrayal fol-
lowed another. The living condi-
lions steadily went down.

All the discussions were marked
by the active participation of the
rank and file delegates. by the
enthusiasm shown by them and by
the unanimous decisions. Eight ma
tionalities and % women were
among the delegates. A consider
able section of the delegation of fur
dressers and dyers were Negro
workers. No less than 80 rank and
file delegates took the floor during
the two day sessions. The delegates
from the A. F. of L. locals en-
phasized the difference between this
free, united conference and the con-
Ventions of A. F. of L. unions. For

Spurns Demands
By MEILECH EPSTEIN

For the first time since the split
in 1926, the fur workers from all
over the country convened at a
national conference through elected
representatives One hundred twen-
ty-four delegates representing 1902
workers of all branches of the fur
trade met at the call of the Needle
Trades Workers Industrial Union,
on June 22nd, 23rd and oath, to
organize the struggle against the
code recently approved by the Pres
ident and to lay the basis for a
National Fur Workers Industrial
Union.
The discussions and the decisions
of the National Conference are of
tremendous significance for all fur
workers. The Conference struck a
ringing blow for unity as against
division; for actual living workers
democracy as against demagogic
phrases concealing contempt for
workers rights; for an aggressive
united front policy for the vital
needs of the workers, as Aagainst the
shabby, tricky subterfuges of the
N.RA. and its agents, the sAFL.

Militant Union Fights
Frame-ups as Hague's
Terror Methods Grow

IF you don't quit making trouble
for me I'll move my shop out to
Jersey City and break your union
with an open shop"
This threat so often made by
New York bosses to union workers,
especially where the workers are
organized into militant ciaSs-strug-
gle unions like the shoe and fur in
ouStrieS, will be translated into a
reality-unless New York and New
Jersey unions take immediate and
emphatic measures to smash the at
temptS Of Mayor Hague's political
machine to make Jersey City an
open shop town
The immediate test of who will be
supreme, the bosses and Mayor
Hague or the workers, is the strug-
gle of the Furniture Workers In
dustrial Union against the Miller
Parlor Furniture Co, 261 Orient
Ave.
Jailed In Tive Days
So far every worker walking or
standing in front of the open shop
with a placard stating that the
Miller Company is unfair to union
labor has been arrested and rail
roaded to jail for 30 days. In two
days last week. Tuesday and Thurs
day. seven persons were convicted
OF "disorderly conduct, interfering
and obstrueting" or something sim
liar. and sentenced TO 80 days.
Sentences are dealt out by Judge
William McGoyern. Mayor Hagues

Facts. evidence mean nothing to

Certainly this is a fight against
the snti-labor, corrupt political
Hague machine bossed by Mayor
Hague himself Roosevelt supporter.
N. r. A. extoller, member of the
National Executive Committee of

Democratic Party.
Certainly this is a battle for the
rights Of workers to organize into
the union OF their choice-in this
case, into militant union. with
none of the corruption. class
collaboration policies OF the bureau
craticalJy-led American Feaeration
of Labor.
A study Of the history of the case
presents a typical example of how
bosses have been able and will try
in the future, to DISCARD the re
straining bonds" of a militant union
and cut wages and lengthen hours
with the greatest freedom and en-
enlargement from the political
grafterS Of the Jersey City admins
tfation.
Equally significant is the brazen
disregard of this case by the Ma
tional Labor Board which. after
many complaints from the union
that the Miller shop was violating
the code, made a half hearted at
tempt to call q conference. When
the bosses failed to show up. the
N. r. A. board dropped the case
entirely and refused to render any
decision.
On August 80. 1888, the Furniture
Workers Industrial Union entered
into a union agreement with the
Maujer Parlor Frame Co. in Brook
lyn, signed by Sam Miller, president
OF the company. About the same
time the Union entered into SIM
liar contract with the Junius Parlor

by Samuel Starr.

Trend Declared Indication
That Prosperity Is
Returning.

Evidence of rapid betterment in
economic conditions in this terri
tory, as reflected by increased sales
of higher priced models, is seen by
Indianapolis Ford dealers, accord
ing to R. A. Hayes, branch manager,
following an analysis of passenger
car sales in the last month.
THE Ford company's analysis,
conducted throughout the national
sales organization of the company,
shows the general public to be buy
ing automobiles that are beyond
bare transportation requirements"
the dealers say. There is a tire
mendous demand for Ford V-8 of
the de luxe types, and similar les
sening in the demand for standard
body types. This is a direct con-
trast to automobile buying in 1888,
when standard types were in de-
mand and de luxe cars sold in lesser
numbers"
In this territory, they say, in
creased sales of the new de luxe

AUTO RETAILING
CODE APPROVED
BY U. S. COURT
Head of Indiana Board Cites
Ruling Against Men,
phiS Company.

Much has been done in the last
few days to determine the definite
status Of the automobile retail code,
according to w. J. Robinson, chair
man of the Indiana state advisory
board.
He points out that assurance has
been received that the automobile
dealers code is not affected by the
recent announcement that price fix
ing is not to be included in code
powers.
Mr.. Robinson quotes from a tele-
grom from F. w. A. Vesper, admin
istrator for the motor vehicle re-
failing code:
Market provisions of the motor
vehicle retailing code are not in
Guided or contemplated in the state
ment regarding the abolition Of
price fixing recently released to
newspapers. This ruling from the
authorities in Washington strength
ems the automobile code immeaSur-
ably"
The national control board of the
code authority has been holding seS-
sions formulating plans for the en-
fOrcement of the code throughout
the country, Mr.. Robinson asserts,
and following the completion of this
program, enforcement of code pro-
visions will be carried on vigorously.
That the code has legal status in
federal courts is indicated by an
other telegram from code author
tiles, says the Indiana chairman.
A national control board tele-
gram in part follows:
First decree federal courts Sus-
tanning dealers code. Permanent
injunction obtained restraining Auto
Sales Company, Memphis, Tenn,
from violating code. Violation,

disconnected. Decree means any flu
ture violations, dealers would be in
contempt of federal court"
Mr.. Robinson explains that pre-
liminary plans have been made for
aggressive enforcement in Indiana
following the completion of the ma
tional program.
Dealers have been asked to sub
NIT reports of suspected violations
to the state board so that lnvestiga-
ton may be completed by the time
the campaign starts.

various departments.
Mr.. Evans comes to Indianapolis
