WATER COMPANY MAY FILL MORE PROPERTY

In view of the immense improve ment shown by the fill which the Juneau Water Company has made in their lot across Willoughby from the Commercial Dock, the com pany may fill the lot on the har- Dor side also, it was announced yesterday.
 Originally it was intended that the buildings. which have Sagged badly since the filling of Will loughby, would be moved across the avenue to the new fill, but now rock may be dumped in under them, avoiding the difficult work of getting the buildings off the piles and across the street.

Heads To Break Strike;
Court Action Quashed

Because of their militant struggle
against racketeering in Local 302 of
the DelicatesSen, Restaurant and
Cafeteria Employees Union, A. F. Of
L., thirteen members, including
the President, Vice-President and
officers on the Executive Board
were railroaded out of the union.
Max Pincus, A.. primer agent of the
bosses association, Epstein, Williams
and Goldstein were forced to hire
Dutch Schultz gangsters to intimi-
date rank and file members of the
local who had exposed the crooked,
sell-out policy of these officials.
Association Pays Local
The Restaurant Owners Associa-
ton financed the officials of Local
800 when they tried to break the

strikes in 1929-3O.
In October, 1898, the rank and file
opposition brought charges of GRIM
inal assault and coercion against the
officials and gangsters. Six workers
were placed under protective ar
rest" and held as material witnesses
under $4,000 bail. The criminals
were released ON $500 bail while
the workers were virtual prisoners
for four months, awaiting court
action.
Kill Court Action
The officials by spending $25, OOC
were able to kill the court action
The sincere rank and file men,

In POcketbOOk
Union Rebels
Ruling Clique Employs
Force to Keep Jobs;
Betray JObIess
BY L. SYLVIA

The International P0cketbOOk
Workers Union consists Of some
1000 members in New York, $500
of whom are partially employed
and the rest totally unemployed.
There are some 10000 workers
scattered throughout the country,
very few of whom are organized.
While these 10000 workers are play
ing a very big role in determining
the living standards OF the New
York workers, because OF the very
low wages paid the out of New
York workers, due to the fact that
they are not organized, they for the
same reason play no direct role in
deciding the policies of the Union.
This is fully in the hands of the
New York workers
Clique Approved Cuts
The Union administration is in
the hands Of a clique, who have
a record of constant betrayaJs and
sell-outs. The betrayals Of this
CLIQUE administration reached its
highest point when they four weeks
ego brought as victory a code
for the industry which among other
very bad points proposes wage cuts
Of from 40 to so per cent and does
not PROPOSE any shorter hours in
spite Of the unemployment in the
trade.
TIE workers unanimously rejected
the code and decided for a special
union meeting to take up the role
the administration played in bring
ing this code Knowing how dis
credited they are in the eyes Of the
workers, they feared that this meet
ing would result in their being
kicked out of office.
In the past, when confronted with
a revolt of the membership, this
clique modified its "strongarm
elements and when these proved
too weak, hired regular gangsters
in order to terrorize the member
chip. But this time, in addition to
she fact that the workers due to
their meager earnings could not pay
dues and taxes, they were also very
unwilling to pay dues, with the re-
suit that the strong arms" and
gangsters refused to serve" an
empty treasury.
Try TO Use Terror
When confronted with this very
serious problem, the breakdown Of
their arms of terror, and the revolt
of the membership, they looked for
a way out. Finally they found a
man who they think would rally
around himself the gangsters,
promising them that he will be able
to, through force and terror. to fill
up again the treasury for these
strong boys"
This man they found in Osip
Wolinsky. who until 1929 was man
ager of this union, but was forced
cut when he was found guilty of
being on the payroll of M. White
the largest firm, while he was man
ager Of the union.
Rank and File Rebel
The Pocketbeok workers, Rank
and File Committee, IS issuing leaf
lets, writing articles in the press
and calling meetings in order to
rally the workers against the traitor
Wolinsky and against the admin
istration.

ment in America. The average
rank and filler looks up to
that local as the model OF a
labor union, but l shall try to
convince the reader of this
paper that this is merely an illu-
sion, created by the officials.
First shall try to explain why
the present administration of Local
% calls itself progressive -
About three years ago Local %
had an administration that followed
the following principles. Their
principle was the regulation one.
that union must be pure and
simple" organization; the only CD
ject of union is economic, to i'm
prove the condition of the workers,
to shorten the hours of labor, and
to get higher wages. According to
the same policy a trade union must
collaborate with the leaders of the
industry. instead of fighting the
bosses as class enemies, as is ad-
vocated by the revolutionary unions.
The A. F. of L. leaders preach
collaboration" and cooperation
with the bosses. Not only that;
they also preach that the union
should help the bosses conduct their
business wherever necessary, big
cause the workers have to be in
terested in the welfare Of the in
dustry in which they are occupied"
The best example of "coopegs ton"
between the workers and the bosses
is the Bmalgamated, where a whole
staff of accountants are employed
to help the employers reorganize
their factories wherever it becomes
necessary, and also to teach the
employers the new methods of pro-
duction to increase their output.
Workers Not Satisfied
The very same principle prevailed
in Local %. But many members,
some of them Communists, social
anarchists, and progressives, were
not satisfied with the old admins
tration which stood for the policy
Of collaboration and "co-opera-
tion;" they had been brought up
with different ideas, especially the
Communists had different concep-
ton Of how trade union should
be organized and conducted. Their
conception of a trade union was:
that a union must be militant or
ganization; in union workers have
to be taught to become class con-
scious, imbued with class strug-
GLE" and they must also be taught
to be ready when the time comes
to abolish the present capitalistic
system through a revolution and
establish socialist society.
There were many groups in that
local with different PHILOSOPHERS:
they all combined into one group
This group named itself THE Pro-
gressive Trade Union Group Of Local
%" The Communists did not agree
to deviate from their principles
Program of Promises
This group consisted mainly OF
Lovestoneites, Socialists, and anar-
chists. Through an intensive agita
ton among the dressmakers, they
succeeded in gaining foothold.
Before the ProgreSSives came into
power they drew up a program with
wonderful promises. They promised
the membership full democracy, no
suppression of any political group
holding different opinions, equality
to all members, and many more
such promises.
But as soon as they got the power
for which they were striving, every
thing was forgotten. For instance,
the Progressives came into power

and then carry the elections for a
