SEATTLE, Sept, 81 Protest
against high union dues I'm the
Laundry Workers Union led to
the firing OF an employee nj the
New Richmond Laundry, on the
alleged charge that "she talked
too much" The real reason for
the discrimination was the circu-
lation of u petition by the work
er asking for reasonable ieduc-
ton in the resent union dues.
Asks so per cent Cut
The petition states that due
to the present existing condition
in our union. where many of the
union members are unemployed
and many more on part-time
work, and our wages being cut in
various ways, we, the undersign-
ed, feel that it is necessary for
the following steps to be taken
in order to protect our member
ship, and keep our members in
good standing: First, that the
present rate of dues be reduced
50 per cent; second, that the to-
tally unemployed be kept in
good standing by issuing eXemp-
ton stamps"
international for Higher Dues
In a recent protest against the
high dues, the bone of conten-
ton in the present issue, the in
ternational president made a
special trip to Seattle in order to
whoOp it up for bigger and bet
ter dues. Why not? Bigger dues
means bigger salaries for business
agents and high-pressure inter-
national presidents, while the
workers live on bare subsist
ance wage.
The workers feel that ii is the
business of the union to protect
the worker on the job. In the
case of the worker fired for cir
culating the petition for rcduc-
ton in dues, it is obvious that
the union is not interested in
the worker. 1t also points to the
complete harmony of the bus
mess agent and the boss to re-
move any worker who will pro-
test against the set-up.
Need Special Meeting
The only course of action for
the laundry workers is to call a
special meeting or to take the
matter before the union meeting
in protest on behalf of both the
worker fired for circulating the
petition and the demands stated
in the petition.
The number of signatures al
ready attached to the petition
points to the growing dissatis-

Call East Coast
Maritime Strike
BY MwIU Correspondent

SEATTLE, Sept. 27-On Sep
TENDER 80 the International Long
shoremen's Association Atlantic
Coast agreement expires. Due to
the pressure of the rank and file,
who saw it was possible by put.
ting up a militant struggle to
gain a higher wage scale, the rank
and file longshOremen of the At
lantic Coast forced Ryan to call
a district wage scale conference
and present rank and file de-
mands for $l0O an hour, $3.50 ov-
er-time, siX-hour day, 30 hour
week.
These same demands were pre-
scented by the Pacific Coast long
shoremen. Ryan, before and dur
ing the strike, did his best to
sell the men out.
The action of the rank and
file longshoremen of the Pacific
Coast prevented any of his many
sell-outs from being put over,
and the entire Pacific Coast
question is now before an arbit-
ration board.
Refuse to Handle Scab Cargoes
Already the rank and file in
the Pacific Coast ports are refus-
ing to handle scab ships and scab
cargo. This is done despite the
fact that the takers on the Pa
cifie COas are trying to spread
the rumOr, We must do nothing
or it will queer arbitration"
However, the men on tt Pa
cific Coast are moving abe
only to support the East coast
strike, but also to build u unified
maritime federation composed of
representatives from the scamcn,
teamsters, lOngshOremen's organ
iZations.
With the agitation for a long
shoremens strike to win rank and
file demands on the Atlantic
Coast and under the leadership
of a developing rank and file
movement within the ranks of
the seamen led by the Marine
Workers Industrial Union, the
international Seamens Union has
been forced to put out a strike
call.
ISU Splits Ranks
1t is to be noted that the ISU
is carrying out the old policy of
splitting the seamen from the
lOngshoremen, making no at
tempt in their strike call to point
out the necessity of uniting with
the longshoremen to win rank
and file demands. In their clause
exempting and in other exemp-
tion notices, certain ships from

SEATTLE, Sept. 26-Last We'd
nesday afternoon a member of
the Marine Workers Industrial
Union went down to the Point
Sur to see the crew. In the course
of the conversation it leaked out
that some of the crew scabbed
out of Frisco during the general
strike. AS this seaman was going
ashore with several union men,
bers of the ship, they walked in
to a fight between the scabby
first assistant engineer and I'M
ion oiler. As the fink seemed to
be winning one of the seamen
got into the fight and worked the
scab over and told him to get off
the ship before the next morn
ing.
AS this seaman was unable to
be down there that morning he
had to wait until about four o..

Hit Firing of

Seattle Local First to

SEATTLE, Sept. 81 Seattle To-

protest to the First Assistant
Postmaster General w. w.
Howes. and to Postmaster W. II.
Jackson, st. Louis, Mo, against
the attempt to fire substitute
clerk in the st. Louis Post Office.
The Seattle local was the first
in the country to act on the is

being a member of the ALL un'

consists of his exposure in the

to answer Hills criticism would
be by facts and figures, and not
by taking his job away.

sell-Out? Roosevelt. after accept
ing the report of his boss-domin-
ated investigating committee OF
three, asked all strikers to return
to their jobs at once. pending a
speedy and just" arbitration by
one of his typical boss-cOntrolled
boards: asked the employers not
to discriminate" against strikers,
but to take them back; promised
to look into" the question of the
stretch-out. the speed-up, hours
and wages.
What does it all mean? AS to
the speedy and just" settlement,
should the workers trust the
president after his shamelessly
selling them out on such propO-
sition in the West Coast long
shore strike, the aluminium
strike, last springs proposed au-
to strike, the recent proposed
steel strike, and dozens of other
major cases in which the presid-
ent's hollow promises and alb
sence of action shout to the skies
with their falsity!
Already many industries have
openly refused to take back their
striking employees - and the
Roosevelt machine and the Cor
man machine do nothing to pre-
vent it, but rather aid it by their
silence, inaction; their promises.
ALL Fakers
From the very day that strike
was talked by the men, German
and the rest of the AFL official.
dom used every effort to prevent
it, as in the longshoTe strike and
all previous strikes. As in the
lOngshore strike, when they saw
that they would be forced to fol
low the wishes of the workers in
order to keep their jobs, they fol-
lowed along with the irresistible
tide. As in all previous strikes,
after the strike was in progress
and making real gains, these cor
rupt officials did everything in
their power to betray the work
ers' battle for life. Behind milit-
ant-sounding phrases they kept
the leadership of their unions; by
their criminal continued refusal
to call out affiliated unions that
had voted to strike and by pre-
venting mass .picketing, they sab
Otaged the strike by vicious un-
seen blows. BY their vicious and
false daily cries about the red
scare" they tried to turn public
opinion against all strikers and
especially against the only large
group that was struggling milit-
antly to get the demands that
were struck for.
German
By replying to Johnson's vi
ciOus radio address in militant
phrases, German was able to
keep up the false front while he
was stalling from day to day and
refusing to call out the 10000
rayon and allied workers, who
might have turned the tide to-
ward strike victory. At the same
time, by harping on his trust
the president" theme. German
was able to further sabotage the
strike. AS late as last Thursday
and Friday, German was prOmis-
ing to call out the 10000 on the
next day-tO cover up his secret
sell-Out plans.
On Saturday he and his eXecu-
tive committee of the union call
ed off the strike. HIS militant
phrases and his offer for "arbitra-
ton" when all the mills were
closed. fooled the workers a little
too long for victory.
