attempt to bring out the whole
shiny roe of the HilIman- Schloss-
berg machine INFO the open and
break the grip OF the clique.
The Hillman machine, openly
ard directly serving the interests
of the employers, has left = naa-
seating trail OF scandals in its
wake. The graft scandals in
voi|ing powerful clothing Gem
panies aod the Offic:aidonl Of the
union and the direct tie-up of the
officials with racketesrs has re-
st'lted in the needs and benefits Of
the workers being continuously
disregarded.
Financial reports have not been
given the members in many years.
Hillman has forced the piece work
system upon the workers and has
reSorted to gangster terror when the
workers fought against the piece
work system.
The money in the Unemployment
Insurance fund, which was. intended
to feed the families of jobless work
ers, has been turned into new
source Of graft for the ruling clique
of the union.
The rank-and-fle committee has
raised these demands in all the
locals of the Amalgamated to rally
the support of the workers on this
militant program and to consolidate
the ranks in the struggle to Dust
Hillman, Schlossberg, and the othes
bureaucrats having a strangle-hold
on the union and its funds.

The AnaaLgamated Clothing
Contention Opens To-Day

AT the first convention of the
"A Amalgamated Clothing Workers
Of America to be called in four years,
and which opens in Rochester, N. Y.
today, the rank -and-nle committee
in the union is rallying its forces
to break the reactionary, strike
breaking Hillman machine and force
rank and file control of the union
on a militant program.
The opposition committee will
propose resolutions at this conVen-
ton demanding that the union fight
against the piece system which has
resulted in virtual sweat-shops thru
out the country. The institution OF
week work is demanded in its place.
Demand Wage Increases
An increase in wages to meet the
rising cost of living and equal pay
for equal work are among the de-
mandS of the opposition. The COM
mittee will raise the issue of home
work and the fight for sanitary con-
ditions in the shops.
Especially important is the de-
mand of the rank and file that the
union shall issue exempt stamps to
the unemployed. The ruling clique
has caused militant workers to lose
their jobs. Unable to continue pay
ing their dues, these workers. have
been dropped from the union. They
are thus deprived of all BENEFITS of
the Unemployment Fund and are
unable to continue their fight
against the misleaders of the union.
Right to Strike
The right to strike and the strug-
gle against discrimination in the
shops will be taken up by the OPP
position at the convention. The
rank-and- delegates there will

Must Build Militant
Opposition Of Dining
Car Cooks and Walters
Union Leaders Fail to Carry the Fight fol the
Observance of Conditions of Agreement
Signed by the Company
By ]. r.


The agreement between the
Brotherhood of Dining Car
Cooks and Walters and the
Pennsylvania R.R. of 1929
specified certain working con
ditions and scale of wage rates for
different classifications of workers.
Under this agreement the Penn.
was supposed to pay for minimum
of three hours for reporting, was
supposed to give full pay for day
dead runs and a minimum of three
hours for all night dead head runs
The union leaders instead of rail-
lying its members and fighting for
the observance of these conditions
by the company, adopted a policy
OF doing nothing about the griev-
ances of the men, or at best
made a feeble protest. The union
officials were content to draw their
salaries from the SO initiation fee
and the ST month dues which the
workers paid into the union for
union protection and sick and death
benNfar.
When the company discovered
that the union did nothing to en-
force the working agreement, they
started a policy of gradually VIC
letting most of the provisions Of this
agreement. For instance, instead
Of dead heading men on day run,
they arranged their schedules so
that most of the men were dead
headed at night, thus saving them
selves several hours wages per man.
Then as time went on they de-
vaioped other wage cutting meth
DDS. Instead Of paying three hours
wages for reporting. they changed
that to fifteen minutes.
Petty Larceny
The Penn. also developed another
lucrative petty larceny racket. They
force out of-toWn workers to sleep
at company flop houses 50 that they
are within call for emergency runs
and charge them IS cents per night
for this imposition which they call
an accommoda ton.
Numerous other violations of the
agreement has so reduced the union
membership that the chair warmers
are now making a violent drive for
membership. They even went SO
far as to circulate the rumor that
new members would be admitted
free. and then officially contra
diced this rumor.
With the initiation fee at So and
the dues 81 per month. the sick
and death benefits suspended in

Fur Shops
BY CLARA MELTzea

A DELEGATION or women needle
"A trades workers is leaving for
Washington today, to demand a
hearing with the Secretary OF Labor,
Miss Perkins, and Rose Schneider
man.
Most of the delegates are fur
workers who face unbearable ex-
ploitation in the shops, uuemploy-
ment, and who are being forced to
belong to a company union.
The National Labor Board has
made an agreement with the fur
bosses, at recent hearing that q
status-quo should be maintained in
the fur trade until a referendum will
decide to which union the workers
choose to belong.
The bosses nave ignored this
agreement and continue to lockout
the workers who refused TO join the
company union. The National Labor
Board did not call the fur bosses
to responsibility for recognizing a
company union, and ratifying their
agreement which was declared void
by the chairman of the hearing.
Senator Wagner.
Scab Council
The bosses have recognized the
Joint Council" better known as the
Joint" which functions as an
agency which provides scabs when
ever a shop gees on strike for union
conditions. The police department,
together with Underworld gangsterS,
and the notorious LoyeS5onite, Terk,
who always carries knife in his
pocket, lead the ScabS every morn
ing to the shops which are on strike.
Conditions Undermined
The bosses have undermined the
conditions in all the shops, by cut
ting the wages and frightening the
hours of the workers. They have
installed the contracting evil, OF
which the women furrierS suffer
mostly, since the work is being done
mostly on finishing by contractors
who exploit non-union help outside
the fur shops.
At a mass meeting OF the f1nishers
it was decided that women's dele
cation is to go to Washington to
present these facts to the ladies, %
Perkins and Rose Schneiderman
who claim to represent the interests
Of the workers, and are especially
concerned they claim-with the
welfare of the women workers.
