RANK AND FILE
GROUP NAMED
BY SILK MEN
Board Is Censured for
Overriding Vote for
Strike Nov. %

PATERSON. N. j., Dec. 9.-At a
meeting of shon chairmen of the
American Federation of Silk Work
ers held here Saturday, a commit
tee of three was elected which is to
represent the rank and file in the
negotiations now going on for an
agreement with the silk bosses. The
decision was made after the meet
ing adopted motion to protest the
actions of the Joint Executive
Board and Eli Keller, manager Of
the union, in overruling the deci-
sion of the membership meeting for
strike scheduled on Nov %. The
protest is to come before the Broad
silk Executive Board and the Joint
Executive Board.
At the meeting Keller reported
that no agreement had been reached
on wages. AT the same time he
launched an attack against shop
chairmen, calling them scabs for
permitting wage cuts in their shops.
This was taken as paving the way
for the acceptance of a wage cut,
by shifting the blame on the shop
chairmen.
Nominations Saturday
Next Saturday a membership
meeting of the broad silk depart
ment will take up nominations for
new officers and an executive board,
as the first steps toward Kidding the
union of the reactionaries who ig-
more and sabotage the decisions of
the membership. The local consti-
tuition will likewise come up for
discussion at the next meeting of
the shop chairmen.
At a shop chairmen's and dele
gates meeting of the Federation of
Silk and Rayon Dyers, a decision
was made that nomination of Off
GERS for the union will be made at
a meeting of shop chairmen and
delegates next Friday. This will be
followed by membership meeting
on Saturday. where the nominations
will be acted upon.
Six polling places were desig-
mated for the $4,000 members in the
local, and voting will take place a
week after the nominating men,
bership meeting. A discussion arose
on the right of the unemployed
members in the union to vote. The
decision was made that a special
polling booth be designated for all
unemployed members who should
have full rights as union mem
bers.
VigOrito Seen as President
There is common talk among the
workers that Charles Vigorito, mil
liant strike leader, and now vice
president Of the local, will be elected
as the next president Anthony
Ammirato, the present president,
has been so thoroughly discredited
during the strike that very few give
him any chances for election.
When Anthony Ventura, one of
the militant members on the set
Element committee returned to his
plant, the Supreme Dye Works, he
was refused his job. Ventura, who
was the shop chairman, was fired
for his union activity several weeks
prior to the outbreak of the strike,
but his case was allowed to drag
and Ammirato made no serious eff
fort to have him reinstated. The
shop chairmen decided that Ammi-
ratio and George Baldanzi, president
of the Federation, are held respon-
sible for his reinstatement within
two days. If this fails a strike is to
be called in the shop.

Strike Truce
Pushed Anew
By McCrady

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. g.
Edward F. McGrady, Assistant Sec
rotary of Labor, yesterday proposed
that representatives of the American
Federation of Labor, the United
States Chamber of Commerce and
the National Association of Manu-
Ifacturers, should come together upon
a plan to prolong the no-strike
truce" entered into by American
Federation of Labor officials and
President Roosevelt.
The six-month truce" proposal
was accepted by the American Fed
Grafton of Labor officials at the high
point of the recent strike wave, fol-
lowing the San Francisco General
Strike and when a half million tex
tile workers were out. McGrady' {
proposal is considered as the first
step of the administration in face
of impending strikes in the automo-
bile, steel, textile and in other major
industries of the country.
The truce" proposal which Nc
Grady would make permanent, has
thus far resulted in gains for COM
pany unions in most industries
which face strike. In textiles it
meant the locking out of tens of
thousands of workers, and speed
UP to an unp. ecedented degree.

 country. in addition to paying for current American exports.
 In view of the many complex factors involved, the most expedi- ent foregin trade policy for this country would seem to be one of compromise between the two pos- sible extremes. Negotiations for the expansion of foreign markets for
 our products are highly desirable;
 but such negotiations must be
 based on a frank recognition that import concessions must be made
 in return. The concessions cannot
 be permitted to disrupt the domes- tic markets of American produc-
