Social Workers Hit
HOdSOn Relief Plan
And Police Terror
Open Letter Exposes the
Liberal Policies of
Welfare Head


NEW YORK-In an open letter
to Commissioner Of Welfare, VIII
liam Hodson, the Social workers
Discussion Club, 233 West 21st
Street, scored the policy of the
Welfare Department for the use of
police terror in it's drive on the liv-
ing standards of the jobless workers
with the one purpose of further re-
ducing relief standards below the
present sub-marginal relief.
On May is, a committee from the
Social Workers Discussion Club met
with Hodson and presented a de-
tailed study of the relief practices
of the administration This study
showed that the relief granted by
the city was below all standards of
decent living, that rents when paid
tended to set up super -Slum areas
for the iobless, and that single IN
attached workers were driven into
the demoralizing flop houses of the
Salvation Army
Before the committee could finish
its presentation, Hodson interrupted
to say that he was aware of the in
adequacies of relief and that "the
whole relief picture was flop" The
committee then recommended that:
ID Home Relief be made available
to all single unattached workers;
90 relief allowances be Immediately
increased; 90 rents be increased
and paid; a. all unemployed be
given work at trade union rates;
and 81 that the Bankers Agree
ment be abrogated to release funds
for this purpose.
The open letter goes on to say
that Hodson admitted that these
demands represented the minimum
needs of the unemployed, and told
the committee that although he was
asking $1000O,000 for the month of
June, $25,O0O,000 represented the
amount needed.
To the demands of the committee
that Hodson publicly declare him
self for the program that he pro-
fessed to favor, Hodson replied that
this would get him into trouble and
would antagonize state and federal
relief bodies.

Messengers
Plan Nation
Wide Union
General Organizer To
Tour Country to Unite
IlUniOns and Groups

AT the first National Conference
Of the Office Workers Union the
foundation for a National Tele-
graph Messengers Union was laid.
At this conference the Office Work
ers Union delegates included in
their reports their attempts to or
ganize the messengers of their
cities.
These reports showed that main
ly because of the lack of a central
leading body of messengers all at
tEmptS at organizing were smashed
messengers were fired right and
left, police tetrrorized them by fol-
lowing them to their meeting places,
etc. Furthermore, strikes we're
called prematurely and in local
spots only, making possible whole
sale scabbing and the consequent
breaking Of the strikes.
Because of this lack of central
leadership there was no inter-
change of experiences, consequently,
tactics which experience proved to
be bad, were used.
Inc Telegraph messengers Union
at this conference proposed a ma
tional organization of messengers
by the unification of all existing
messengers unions and the setting
up of locals in cities where no
unions exist. For this purpose, the
Telegraph Messengers is sending
out its general organizer to these
various cities.
However, in order to finance this
trip it has been found necessary
to run Farewell Party and Dance
on Friday, June %, at 800 pm.
at the Office Workers Hall, ia w.
18th Street. There will be skits
depicting the messengers expert
ences with the telegraph trusts.
There will also be a prominent
speaker. All Postal Telegraph and
Western Union messengers, clerk,
operators, all workers and gympa-
thizers, are urged to attend. Tickets
are only IS cents.

3.-That the GoldenS and the

One of the most shameful and
and brazen betrayals of the MILL
merry workers was recently committed
by zaritzky's appointed officials of
the Blockers Local AZ.
Seven blockers from Cohn and
Donkin shop were locked out with
the help of police for refusing to
accept q wage cut.
The blockers complained to Mr..
Goldman, who is Zaritzky's appoint
ed manager of Local AZ, and instead
of taking down the whole shop and
declaring strike, Goldman told the
blockers that they'll have to wait
for decision from the impartial
chairman, DR.. Abelson, that seven
blockers cannot go back to work and
that the union must send up other
blockers in their place. And so the
union officials, true to their tradi-
tons of strike breaking and scab-
berry against the militant trimmers
local 43) did send up workers to
scab on the locked out blockers.
Exposed Treachery
The Millinery United Front Com
mittee. through open air meetings
and leaflets exposed this Scandalous
treachery and called upon the
blockerS of Cohn and Donkin to
picket the shop and pledged to
mobilize the millinery workers in
support of their struggle.
Unfortunately, the blockers per-
mitted themselves to be misled by

Workers Picket Shop
That Moved To Avoid
knitgoods Ind. Union

The Sherman Knitting Mills,
which was on strike for seven weeks
moved from 1877 Broadway, Brook
lyn to Elizabeth, N. j. The work
ers Of this shop were On strike un-
der the leadership Of the Knitgoods
Workers Industrial Union. The
strike was against the attempt of
the manufacturers to break the
agreement and install the 40 hour
week instead of the IS hour week.
When the manufacturer saw that
the workers are determined to con-
tlnue with the strike to a victory.
they decided to move out of town
to get rid of the strikers. But he
did not succeed, however, in this
attempt. He was located by the
union in the Durant Building of
Elizabeth, N. j., and the shop is
picketed.
The Union is at present inten-
styling its activities by adding an
additional organizer to pay more
attention not only to New York and
Brooklyn but also to New Jersey.
A meeting of all knftters, hand,
fat-power and circular and also
winders is called by the Union to-
day at 2:30 pm. sharp, in Irving
Plaza Hall, 18th Street and Irving
Place, to discuss the role of the
knitters and winders in the prepa-
ration for one general strike.

liShed in the ranks of the workers
and one union established on the
basis Of a class struggle program.
This did not remain an abstract
lesson. Immediately with the con-
clusion of the strike, negotiations
for the establishment of one union
were started. These negotiations
passed from the stage of involving
only the catering trades, and now
involves the whole food industry as
such. At present, all the local
unions of the Amalgamated Food
Workers of America are discussing
and voting on the proposition of
merging nationally with the Food
Workers Industrial Union into one
National Independent Union of Food
Workers. Already, Bakers Locals /
and 1874 and the Amalgamated
Hotel and Restaurant Workers
Union have voted favorably on the
amalgamation question, and Bakers
Local is expected to cast its vote
on July 7th.
Movement Created Stir
This amalgamation movement
created quite a stir in the ranks of
the American Federation of Labor,
food unions, especially in the Bakers
International and in the Hotel and
Restaurant Employees and Bever-
age Dispensers International Al
lance.
In order to smash this sentiment
of the rank and file A. F. of L.
catering workers in favor of the
amalgamation movement,
the delegation of Walters and
Mattresses Union Local No. 16 of
New York to the International
Convention in August of this year is
prepared to fight for a resolution
New York Locals l, 2.
302, 1875, 219, 719, 3, and 10, merging
them with Local 16, and dividing
this one local into branches such as
walters, bartenders, countermen,
cooks and broilers, unskilled workers,
etc. Much demagogic talk and
speech is now going on in Local 16
about the new industrial union"
the lone union in the catering in
dustry," the organization of the I'M
skilled" etc.
Another Reason
There is another reason for carry
ing through this contemplated plan
of the Local Is machine to merge
the nine A. F. of L. Local unions
into one departmentalized local,
and that is that Dutch Schultze and
his underworld henchmen today
have alleged control over only two
A. F. of l.. Locals; i. e., Walters
Local is and Countermen's Local
302. 1t is no doubt in the interests
of Schultze and his mob to gain
control of the seven remaining locals
in the city. This the mob has tried
to do in the past through other
methods without much success. Now
they are using a two-faced method.

(COhuhued from last Monday
The rank and file workers in the

important lesson from the general

Of whether they were members of

of the Amalgamated Hotel and

unorganized, they realized-that in

if carried out will bring wages and

This International Convention
will not be quiet one. What with
the struggle for power between the
misleaders-a struggle for the pot
with the attempt of the mobsters
to gain control of all the New York
locals and to put their fingers into
the International, and with the
rank and file delegates presenting a
clear cut class struggle program
around which they will organize the
membership for struggle, Flore,
Kearney, and Coulcher may not be
able to spend all their convention
time on the memberships money as
they had originally planned.

hegemony of Local 16. The other
is the mob's present activity of or
ganizing a new bosses association
known as the Metropolitan Restau-
rant and Cafeteria Owners Associa-
ton.
The organization of such an asso-
ciation-by Dutch Schultze's
henchmen-which is progressing
rapidly (the Mutual already having
liquidated and joined the Metro
politan) means what? That even
should the International Conven-
ton disagree with the establishment
of one A. F. of L. Local in New York
under the control of Coulcher of
Local 16 and incidentally of Dutch
Schultze-with the mob working
both the bosses and the Unions
ends-Local 16 with its general
agreement with the new racketeer
built bosses association which it
will no doubt obtain, will begin
wiping out the other eight locals
whose bosses will be members of the
Metropolitan and whose workers
will be forced to join Local 16 in
order to work in an association shop,
Other methods being used at
present before the convention re-
volve around the following: y
Bosses are promised wage reductions
if they will join the new associa-
ton and then sign a general agree
ment with Local 16. p Some bosses
who may refuse to join the aSsocia-
ton are not only threatened in true
gangland method but also find Local
Is picketS before their shops stating
that they refuse to employ union
help 81 Without controlling a
single worker in shop, if the boss
refuses to sign a contract with Local
l6, picket line is placed before his
store while no attempts are made to
organize the men inside. Then, if
the boss is finally forced to sign a
contract, the men are herded into
the Union at a $40 initiation fee in
order to maintain their jobs. And
who knows how much the invisible
government" gets from each initia-
ton? A Already, Local 16 has in
vaded the territories of practically
all the other local unions and is at
tempting to smash the organization
of the other locals.
FlOre Wants His Job
Meanwhile, at the International
Convention, John j. Kearney, Sixth
International Vice-PreSident will
try to grab the job of International
President from Flore. Flore wants
to maintain his job. Both. Kearney
and Flore are looking to Coulcher
