Metal Union Head
Attacked by Thug
Pat Cush Slugged on
Way to Meeting

PITTSBURGH. Pa, April 2S.-Pat
Cush national president of the Steel
and Metal Workers industrial Union
was slugged by an unidentified thug
upon entering the Lithuanian Hall.
Soho Street, where a union mass
meeting was to be held several days
ago.
The gunman was waiting for Pat
Cush in an alley near the hall. and
he accomplished his dirty task while
no workers we're around.
The mass meeting was called TO
take up special issues confronting
the workers of the Jones and
Laughlin Steel Corporation, and
all indications point to the thug
being one of the many gunner
hired by the j. g. L. Company.
Pat Cush was announced as
speaker at this meeting in a special
leaflet which was distributed in the
j. & L. mills, and this attack on
Cush was deliberate effort on
the part Of the steel bosses to ter
rorize the steel workers.

L. A. Hosiery Mills
Recruit Scabs From
East To Smash Strike

Los ANGELES. April 81 d,
Maid - Sparing no amount NJ
money TO break the solidarity N
the Los Angeles Hosiery strikers
the bosses this week imported ~
scabs from the East, bringing the
total number Of scabs now en-
ployed in the Mission Knit Mil,
to 10.
The professional strike breakeu
were brought in by bus by a super
scsb named Art Shires. The Cant
talist press reported that his bus
load Of scabs had been stopped in
North Carolina and that he had
been held up by police for trans
porting them without a license. The
bus. however. was allowed TO pro-
coed. The Central Labor Council
made no effort to stop the importa-
ton or to assist the strikers.
Shires arrived yesterday with the
rs scabs and put them up in the
Coliseum Hotel at Santa Barbara
Avenue and Figueroa Street. From
there he marched them dramatic
ally to the mill where the scabs
already working were herded out on
the roof to serve as a reception
committee.
Direct evidence OF "red SQUAD"
connivance to frame the militant
strikers has been exposed.

acreage Reduction Means Misery to Share Choppers

from the government. This rented
land, as we'll as the land that Deal
owns, is very poor, Last year on his
best piece Of land a share cropper,
who has now been evicted, made
three bales for four and a half acres.
This is the rating the board gave
Deal for all his land-that which he
owns and that which he has rented
And Deal is not the only one who
is lining his pockets by this method.
This can clearly be seen by the
fact that after all the reduction
contracts were signed, even with
the 40 per cent reduction. fore
land would have been put in cot
ton this year than has ever been
planted in Union County before.
/. Instead of investigating the fig
ures Of the landlords, 1aow this COM
mittee is again cutting down all the
farmers. And the poor farmers are
the ones who are getting the biggest
cuts again, G, a Negro managing
tenant, was originally cut down from
80 to 20 acres; on this second cut
he has been reduced to IA acres.
He will receive rental payments only

L. A. Custom Tailors
Maintain MiIitancy

LOS ANGELES, April 24.-Call-
ing upon all custom tailors work
ing on the cheaper grades to sup
port their striking fellow workers
the Custom Tailors' Union is main
tanning its solidarity in strike.
The tailors working on the
cheaper grades of clothing are or
ganized under the A. F. of L. The
militant union Of those employed
in the shops making more expsn-
sive clothing issued q circular call
ing for Joint action to support the
strike. The strikers pointed out
that worse conditions are tolerated
in the second-grade shops, but that
proposals for joint action had been
refused by the A. F. of L. union
leaders.
The leaflet called upon all tail
ors to refuse work coming in from
shops on strike. 1t gave the pledge
of the striking tailors to assist the
others in any undertaking to i'm
prove their conditions.

Fraternal and
Mass Orders
Back HR 1898
Wide Representation at
the First Conference of
Fraternal Federation

NEW YORK-Five hundred dele
gates, representing 10000 members
of fraternal orders, met at the Cen
trail Opera House, Sunday, to plan
wide support for the Workers IN
employment and Social Insurance
Bill III. r. 1899. The conference
unanimously endorsed the Workers
Bill.
George Primhoff, secretary of the
Fraternal Federation for Social In
suranee, reviewed the work of the
Federation since its inception in its
work Of obtaining endorsement and
support to the Workers Bill.
In its resolutions, the conference
demanded that no further reduc-
lions be made on G. w A., that all
@. w. A. workers be paid at union
wages, and that jobs or cash relief
equal at least to G. w A. wages be
paid TO all unemployed.
In its campaign for the enact
nent of the Workers Bill, the con-
ference delegates will mobilize the
membership of their lodges and fra
ternal organizations when their
delegates present the Workers Bill
to Mayor LaGuardia for endorse
ment.
Thirty-five independent fraternal
organizations were represented at
the conference in addition to dele
gates seated from national orga-
nizations such as the Foresters,
Sons of Italy, Sons of Italy Grand
Lodge, Odd Fellows, Knights Of
Colombus, Catholic Council, Order
Of Eastern Star, Modern Woodmen
Of the World, Workmen's Circle
League, Daily News Chapel, Elks,

eiety. Lithuanian Workingmens Al

whose five-year average was 324
pounds per acre, was cut down to
100 pounds. When he refused TO
accept the Boards estimate, the
chairman Of the board stated:
You either accept our figure or
none at all. We will see to It that
you will not gin any cotton this
year"
On the other hand the members
of the board are fixing the reduc-
ton figures so that they and their
friends will receive rental payments
for land and at the same time not
decrease their acreage, but actually
increase it. Deal, member of the
board, rented several hundred acres
from a bank, and has evicted all
the troopers and tenants, except
one, from this land. This tenant
owed debt to the bank, and the
bank would not allow his eviction
as they hope to collect his debt.
Deal says that he will get more from
this land by renting it to the gov
eminent than he would be raking
a crop on it.
Let us see why he will get more

Parker and Blume Praise
Arbitration To
Halt Strike

OMAHA, Neb., April 24.-After a
complete sellout by union officials,
cooperating with the Regional La
Dor Board, 535 striking streetcar
men went back to work Thursday
pending arbitration.
Less than one-haf voted to end
the strike. The streetcar men met
Wednesday night at the Labor
Temple and voted 249 to A to &C
cept the plan agreed upon by union
leaders and company officials.
J. NJ Parker, international vice
president Of the Amalgamated As
ISOLATION of Street and Electric
Railway Workers Union, advised
the men to return to work and ex-
pressed confidence in arbitration as
a means Of settling disputes. we
are neither Communists nor anar-
ehists, he declared.
Parker echoed the secretary of
the Kansas City Regional Labor
Board, r. L. Biume. Blume,
who arranged the conference
betwene the union and COM
pany representatives and acted as
mediator, made an appeal to the
streetcar men 10 end the strike.
Ignoring the strike lessons of
1918, the workers made no gains in
their strike. The written agreement
read at the union meeting is as
follows:
1, Charges Of discrimination
against union men will be srbi-
trated.
2. A 48-hour week of work in
six days will be adopted if this does
not add to the company's cost of
operation or reduce employment.
3. Demands for wage increases
will be arbitrated, provided jitney
service is completely stopped within
five days and volume of streetcar
traffic becomes normal within 30
days.
The company will not arbitrate
on three union men discharged be-
fore Oct. 2.
The workers were demanding a
basic pay increase from 50 cents to
So cents per hour, union recogni-
ton and reinstatement of IL fired
workers.
Parker aided the boss by declaring
that he would get the three men
fired before Oct. 2 better jobs in
some other city"

Tenants Driven Off the
Land by Wealthy
Landlords
Ry JANE WATSON

Union County, North Carolina,
serves as q very good example of
what acreage reduction means for
the share troopers, tenants, and
small farmers.
The amount Of cotton that any
farmer can grow this year is set by
the County Control Committee. In
Union County as throughout the
South, this committee is composed
Of landlords. bankers, insurance
men, etc, and these enemies of the
toiling farmers are seeing to it that
they, and not the poro farmers, will
receive added profits this year as
the result of the acreage reduction,
Four of the members of the Union
County Committee are: Jones. a
rich landowner, banker, realtor, and
insurance man; Prce, big land
lord; Deal, another big landlord;
and Shields, the owner of a chain
of filling stations and son Of still
another rich landlord. This COM
mittee sets the average produc-
ton" upon which is based the
amount to be grown this year as
well as the rental and parity to be
received from the government.
The committee has set the aver
age production for Union County as
227 pounds of lint cotton per acre,
making the average rental $l0.22
per acre. But share troopers and
share tenants do not receive a penny
of this rental; it all goes to the
landlord. Of the tenant farmers,
only the managing tenants" htose
who own their own equipment and
stock, will receive the rental pre-
uiums. And many Of the landlords
have kept their managing tenants
from finding this out and intent
to collect the rental themselves.
The average production figure
Of 227 pounds really means moth
Ing 50 far as the poor farmers are
concerned. A Negro sharecropper

for the first 10 acres taken out of
production,
Cuts Living Standards
What will happen to the troopers
who stay on the land7 A cropper
who made 10 bales last year will
now make six at the most; instead
Of getting five bales, he will now
get three. This will be $50 if cot
ton is 10 cents a pound this Fall
In addition the prices Of food and
clothing have gone up even more in
the landlords stores than in the
regular retail stores. Flour has gone
up from $3.50 to 1915; overalls, from
Csc to $3.50; fat back from 4lzc to
SIC; and fertilizer from SIT to 500
The already low living standards
Of the troopers viii be cut moro
than half, with the acreage reduc-
ton and the higher prices,
1t has long been practice OF
some landlords to rent out about
half Of their land OF troopers and
tenants, and on the other half to
grow q crop using the troopers and
tenants as day laborers The pay"
for this is usually soc day credit
at the landlords store, for which
they work from sunrise to sunset.
These landlords have taken out the
40 per cent cut on the choppers
land, and plan to plant a full crop
on their own land this year, and
the troopers will be forced to slave
for them. In return they may be
allowed patch of the rented land,
which they formerly cropped, for
q garden and about three DAYS work

been making about 20 bales; his
sure rent is s. When he cut his
acreage, he will make around ~
bales and after he has paid his
rent he will have only bales
left. With these four bales ne
must feed and clothe his family
and buy feed, seed, fertilizer, ano
such equipment as he can. The
tenant farmer who pays cash rent
will be in the same boat, for It
will take large part Of his crop
to pay the rent,
The small farmers who own
patch of land and have never been
able 10 produce enough to live are
being forced, Just like the troopers
and tenants. to reduce their acre
age. The Bankhead Bill provides
a leeway Of 5 per cent of the total
production of the county for small
producers or for those who wish &c
go lnto cotton production. This
means nothing for the small farm
er who is now being forced to re-
duce his acreage 40 per cent.
The troopers, tenants, and small
farmers see that acreage reduction
means more misery and starvation.
They see that organizing is the only
way to meet these attacks of the
landlords and the government. Anc
they are organizing into the Share
Choppers Union. Mass meetings and
neighborhood meetings are being
held in many parts Of the county
and new members are coming into
the militant Share Choppers Union.

MuSteite Leaders"
Behead Struggles
of Penna. JObIeSS
COllabOrate with Police
To Lead Struggle into
''Safe" Channels
BY a Worker Correspondent

By a Worker Correspondent
ALLENTOWN, Pa.-The Musteite
leadership of the Unemployed
League again showed its role in
heading the militancy Of the work
ers into safe" channels, at the
demonstration" for relief staged
here last week.
After having successfully pre-
vented the movement among the
CW.A, workers from being directed
into militant struggle for the con-
tinuation Of the C.WA., in line with
the nationwide movement at that
time, they announced that a demon
stration would be called right after
April l, AS they explained it. c.
WA. was to be discontinued after
April l, and in its place something
else, they just didn't know exactly
what, was to be substituted, and
those on C.WA. jobs would just be
transferred to this other some
thing" Therefore, inasmuch as
the workers by their militant pro-
test had forced the Lehigh County
C.W.A. administrators to rescind the
wage cut from so to 40 cents per
hour, it would be necessary to de-
mand that the rate on the new
something" should not be any less.
Previously they had even come for
ward with their Sl00 per hour, 80
hours per week" platform.
BY TO-DAY, Of course, C.w.A. has
disappeared entirely, and thu
something" did not materialize and
all Of the above had to be forgot
ten. Instead it was announced in
all the ward (UL) organizations,
that a demonstration would be
staged in front of the local State
Emergency Relief Board on Mon
day. April g. at IL noon. to be pre-
ceeded by a parade. A few days
later, however, it was announced
in the papers that the parade would
not go to the Relief Board but into
the Trainmens hall insead. It
seems that the Chief of Police, Gen
ersl Berry, had convinced them
(the Musteite leaders, that it would
be much better to do this, as it
might create too much confuson
if workers gathered on the street
in front of the relief headquarters,
The general" had even helped
them to get the hall free of charge,
The desire of the workers for
militant action was apparent from
the applause which greeted every
reference TO such, but when one
Of them at the end Of the meeting
proposed a march from the hall d.
rectly to the local relief board to
present demands for milk for the
children. ETC., this proposal was
souelched under the pretext that no
one was there at the present time.
