HAVERHILL, Mass.-A week ago
Tuesday our Unemployment Council
delegation to the City Council
presented our demands for cash re-
lief and the opening up of caf-
eteria for the single unemployed
When our delegation went in, many
workers filled the council chambers.
After the delegation presented the
arguments for our demands, these
city officials were very careful to be
polite, because the city elections are
approaching and our Unemployment
Council has strength.
Alderman Costello, in charge of
health and charities" was forced
to admit that the workers can get
cash relief if they want it bad
enough. Of course, if we had not
raised this question no one would
have known about it. Alderman
Costello also admitted that $4,000
was being paid out in cash, and
those that were getting it were the
foremen on the welfare jobs and
their friends.
The city officials tried to argue
that cash relief was all right, only
"the men will drink booze with it.
We asked them to show us one
yorker receiving welfare who has
been drinking with the miserable
few dollars We get on the reliel
checks. They couldn't answer that

Flag Issue
Hit is Yell
For Pay Cut
By a Shoe Worker Correspondent

BY A Shoe Worker Correspondent
LEWISTON, Me.-The outrage
GUS act of the Lynn Stitchers Local
in suspending a sister shoe worker
for refusing to salute the flag came
up for discussion in our local q
of the United Shoe and Leather
Workers Union.
1t was pointed out correctly by
the militants that this is not a ques-
ton of the flag, it is question of
wage cuts. 1t is in line with the
opportunist practice of our Resi-
dent General Board and our Ma
tional Organizer, Brother Mackasey,
who made previous statements
about getting rid of the militants
and Communists who dare to criti-
CHE and expose the policies of these
officials to the shoe workers.
1t was decided to send protest
to the Lynn Stitchers' Local and
the General Board, demanding her
immediate reinstatement, and the
avoidance of such fascist acts in
the future.
When the question of putting in
to practice our resolutions to fight
for unemployment insurance and
relief for the shoe workers came UP
our organizer became very nervous
and hysterical. He did not mind
when it was merely a resolution.
Instead of sticking to our resolu-
ton, he, together with the Love
Stoneite Bixby, worked out a plan
of Christmas baskets, as if that
would solve the problems of the I'M
employed shoe workers.
He attacked the militants and the
Daily Worker for publishing news
on what is going on in our local.
He showed himself in his true COL
ors, a deserving disciple Of Macka-
sey and Zimmerman.
When one of the rank and file
group took the floor and exposed
his reactionary policies, he became
so angry that he got up and left the
hall. The meeting went on without
him, discussing Unemployment In
surance and relief. 1t was decided
to bring detailed proposals on these
questions to the next meeting.

IS A Week
Pay Gouged
For Dues
BY a Needle Worker Correspondent

BY a Needle Worker Correspondent
NEW YORK; am very much
interested in your paper and in what
yoa are doing for the workers.
I am an operator in Local 142,
international Neckwear Union. We
are glad to earn IS week with
which we can not afford to pay
dues. Our Business Agent, Max K,
Pelicoff, who is sent up by that big
shot, Mr.. Tuvim, tells us that IN
less we pay our dues out of that IS
he will throw us of the job.
When we ask him not to take
ANYTHING off this week as we hardly
earned anything, he goes over to
the boss and demands a check from
him, telling him to take it out OF
our pay regardless of what salary
we earn.
When we ask Mr.. Tuvim for
lob. he tells us that he can't use
Us because we are not 100 per cent
union. What he means by that is
that We should pay our dues out
of the IS we earn. If there is a
job, he picks a chairlady from an
other shop who is dissatisfied with
her present job, and gives her the
new one while we SIT in the local and
beg for work. We don't get any
because We cannot afford to pay
dues.

in 1884, and removals from Lynn
have been as serious. The tendency
to leave the old centers is not new,
but the crisis has accentuated it.
Many go north to Maine and New
Hampshire. Upper New York State
has also jumped into the bidding.
Haverhill and Lynn manufacturers
are deluged with real estate circu-
lars from small towns. One depicted
ample skilled labor and happy
open shop conditions for dissatisfied
shoe manufacturers"
The N. r. A. code approved a
year ago sets a minimum scale
which is low or lower, according as
the city is large or small. Towns
under 10000 get a clear differential
of IA cents per hour under those
of 10000 to 250,OOO population.
The mayors of Massachusetts,
shoe cities recently met and adopted
a resolution calling for minimum
of $40 for a 40-hour week, to apply
| to all workers in all centers. This
figure compares with minimum
now permitted under the code of
$14 for men and $12 for women for
a 40-hour week. The 45-hour week
is permitted for eight weeks in any
six-month period.
Seek Reopening Of Code
The union is trying to get the
code reopened, and investigators for
the National Industrial Board who
checked up recently on reported
chiseIing In the Massachusetts,
North Shore are understood to
favor such reopening. The Haver-
hill Gazette is among those who are
saying openly that higher code
minimum would do no good because
it could not be enforced.
Certainly the National Labor Re-
lations Board has been powerless
to enforce Section Ia on the Maine
shoe firms. It removed the blue
eagle from the Venus Shoe Co. of
Auburn early in october, but the
company seems to be carrying on as
affably as the Weirton Steel Co.
The United Shoe and Leather
Workers Union now claims between
10000 and $4,000 members in all
parts Of the country. It is consid-
ering amalgamation with the
Brotherhood of Shoe and Allied
Crafts Of Brockton.
Whether the code will be re-
opened or not, the solution to the
problems of wage reductions or re-
moval of factories depends on what
policy the U. S. & L. w. U. will
follow.
The organization of a militant
struggle against wage reductions, an
intensified campaign for the organ
izstion of the unorganized centers,
will stop the attack of the shoe
manufacturers upon the standard of
living of the shoe workers. This
campaign, coupled with fight for
the unemployed, for relief and the

ance Bill H. r. 1898, will stabilize

New England Firms Try to Use Dull Season
AS Another Weapon for Reducing Wages
Militant Policy of Big United Shoe Union Can
Stop Attack on Living Conditions
By a Shoe Worker Correspondent

By a Shoe Worker Correspondent
HAVERHILL, Mass.-The A. E.
Emerson Shoe Co. threatens to
move the shop to Manchester, N. H,
unless the United Shoe and Leather
Workers Union grants a 40 per cent
wage cut, elimination of one-half
the shop crew, and the right of the
boss to hire and fire help. The
unions attorney said Emerson
wanted an open shop with union
sanction"
Liquidation would throw 700
shoe workers and their families on
the city relief roll, which already
supports 5000 persons in a city Of
10000.
EtmerSon's move is merely part
Of a concerted offensive by New
England shoe manufacturers to beat
down standards and break the
union. Taking advantage of a
season which is described by Old
timers as the dullest they can re-
member, and concentrating their
efforts in the dullest month, No
vember, the bosses have raised, first
in one center and then in another,
the demand for reductions of 20
per cent.
Unionists know that wage reduc-
tons in the organized centers-
Lynn, Haverhill, Boston, Newbury-
port, Lowell, Lawrence, Salem, Pea
body, Chelsea and Marlboro-would
be followed by reductions in the
centers which are still without a
union agreement, such as Biddeford
and Naturalization, Maine, and
Claremont, Pennington and Man
chester, N. H. They point out that
Naturalization imposed a cut of
10 to 80 per cent within the last
three months, and is now as slack
as the organized centers. With the
cost of living rising, the union has
ruled a wage cut definitely out Of
the picture.
Manufacturers Play CenGers
Against Each Other
The bosses tactic has been to play
off one center against another, en-
listing for the purpose the boss
press, the city mayors and council
men, and citizens committees" In
Lowell certain weak sisters who had
slipped back to work ahead of the
rest in the last strike in that CEN
ter were induced to form a COM
pany union, which undertook to
cooperate" with the bosses. In
each of the other centers, lies were
circulated to the effect that some
other center had granted reduc-
ions. Yet the shoe workers, heart
ened by their success in building
within two years the largest single
shoe union that has existed in the
United States, are standing firm
under the terrific assault.
Their problem is severe, especial
ly because the firms which threaten
to leave the organized centers some
times carry out their threat. 1t is
said that Haverhill has lost 28 shoe
shops, including four large factories,
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1934-12-05

OF these workers get day or two
days work a week and earn less
than $40 a week. Yet their leaders
threatened these workers with ex-
pulsion if they did not come across.
Many of the workers denied food
for their families in order to come
across. Some borrowed. Others
hooked their watches and overcoats
to make good.
Where do you think all the five
dollar bills went to? Irving Ham
mer, the organizer of Local so, who
now also controls Local 40, made a
fine speech about better times that
are coming soon, and was presented
with a diamond ring worth $3.50 for
his loyalty to the workers. His
wife was promised a fur coat and
the workers-were given a. dinner.
Now, some of these workers read
the Daily Worker and would like
to see this racket exposed, but they
cannot mention their names for
fear of their union leaders. prom

hiding my name. SASHA STERN.
