follow. Only the membership can
decide this question. To this we have
had no reply" said Albertson.
Face to face with a general strike,
the Industrial Union plans to issue
q strike call at the same time as the
Amalgamated and to give full sup
port to the spreading Of the strike
and the strengthening Of the strike.
The Industrial Union will continue
its efforts to effect the unity so
strongly desired by the rank and file.
Our workers are supporting the picket
lines OF the Waldorf and other
strikers and are carrying on mass
picketing at all hotels on strike" said
Albertson.
1.-THE Industrial Union believes that
the Amalgamated leadership has been
vacillating and hesitant in the pres
ent strike situation and that it has
failed to carry the Waldorf strike on
the principle of rank and file con-
troll. Further it has failed to raise
sharply the big economic issues that
confront the workers in this struggle.
We call on the fraternal hotel organ
izations and the unions to rally to
the strike Of the Waldorf and demand
participation in an elected strike
committee

Senator Bailey of North Carolina
led the administration side with a
speech frankly enunciating the Amer
ican-British imperialist rivalry which
the Roosevelt program whips up. III
addition, Bailey significantly coupled
the trade war" now going on with a
reminder that the United States was
'in" the world war for a year before
she entered the conflict in arms.
"The declaration of war lin the
case of the World War was just
a recognition of the facts that al
ready existed" Bailey declared.

Bailey continued, and tariff has be-
come a secondary weapon in the

Senator Robinson of Arkansas, the
Democratic eader, corroborated
Bailey: IF there is an exchange
war in progress, as the Senator from
North Carolina has so ably demon
strated, that is one of the best argu-
ments for supporting this bill"
Robinson naturally failed to point
out that this bill will sharpen the
trade war and increase the danger Of
It's being transformed, as the pre-
world war rivalries were, into armed
war.
"The bill will raise prices, 1t will
make increases in the cost of Iiv-
ing" Robinson added. "That's the
purpose Of it," THAT he reasoned,
SIS a reason for supporting It,"
Senator Reed declared that the
price increases would be in full force
by July and that wage increases, if
they come, will be at least five years
in arriving.

General Strike Call
Issued by 2 Unions
tony Hotel Workers

NEW YORK. A call to all New
York hotel workers to walk out on
general strike was issued late yes
terday afternoon by the two unions
of hotel and restaurant workers, the
Hotel and Restaurant Workers Indus
trial Union and the Amalgamated
Food Workers. The call follows on
the strike of 600 workers of the Wal
dorf Astoria Hotel on Tuesday night.
The strike calls were issued separ-
ately after the Analgamated officials
emphatlcally rejected appeals Of q
committee Of $50 of their own mem
bers and of the Waldorf Hotel strik-
ers to enter the strike jointly with the
Industrial Union under one united
strike leadership.
Walters Of the Hotel Lincoln and
the New Weston hotels had already
started the walk-out on Thursday
night
Officials of Local 16 OF the A. F.
Of L. aiding the hotel bosses to break
the strike, applied for a court order
yesterday to restrain the Amalga-
mated from picketing.
Strike headquarters we're estab-
lished by the Industrial Union at their
Offices at so West 45th st. and at
Church Hall, 344 w. 36th st.
Recognition of the union is the
principal demand of the Arnalga-
mated. The strike meeting last night
at Industrial Union offices was sched-
uled to decide on the economic
demands to be raised in the strike.
After an enthusiastic meeting at
Bryant Hall Thursday night, called
by the Industrial Union, in which
nearly 1000 workers pledged support
Of the strike and called for one union
in the industry and one united strike,
$50 workers, mostly members of the
Amalgamated, volunteered to go to
their officials and demand unity In
the strike. Costas, renegade organizer
Of the Amalgamated, who met the
workers, called them a mob and re-
fused to seak with them, stating he
would only accept q committee Of Is.
Later CostaS retreated and met
with the members. Ben Field, secre-
tary Of the union, attacked the poll
cies Of the Industrial Union and
threatened that the workers support
ing its policies would have to make
their choice. He emphatically Sc
iected united strike. Letter the
lights were turned off in the hall
where the workers we're gathered, in
order to force them out of the hall
and prevent Jay Rubin, secretary of
the Food Workers Industrial Union
from speaking to the workers.
Rubin exposed Fields failure to
reply to repeated requests to work
out plans for unity Of the rank and
file, and showed that it was the
Amalgamated officials who were re-
fusing united action.
The rank and file of the hotel
workers are united and determined
to carry on mass picketing at the
hotels to help win the strike.
