Rank and File Garment
Workers Meet TOnite

The Amalgamated called off the
stoppage last week, sending the
workers back to the jobs, making a
deal with the bosses association to
change the grades which means a
reduction in wages.
The deal is also to drive out the
smaller manufacturers and small
contractors.
The rank and file committee calls
upon all workers not to permit any
reductions, at their shop meetings,
but to demand raise in wages in
accordance with the high cost OF
living. The rank and file committee
calls a meeting of all rank and file

Impatient to hear the reports of
the committee which they dele
gated to present their demands to
the companies, 500 messengers
crowded into the Office Workers
hall the evening of April 10Th. 1t
had been agreed previously that if
the demands were not granted the
same day, the boys would go on
strike the next morning. Dave
Newman, President of the Tele-
graph Messengers Union and a
member of the committee, gave the
reports, announcing that both COM
panies had refused the demands,
and instead had tried to put them
off by telling them to wait for the
Code Hearings in May. The next
move was up to the messengers.
The telegraph companies were
feverishly preparing for the strike.
AS soon as the company officials
had aScertained that the sentiment
of the boys was strongly in favor
of striking. they had proceeded to
use every form of intimidation in
an effort to break the morale of the
messengers. They enlisted the aid
of two notorious strike breaking
agencies, namely the Berghoff De-
tective Agency and the New York
Police Department. They hired
hundreds of scabs, promising double
pay and police protection to those
who remained on the job.

The First Round of the Fight
Of the N. Y. Messenger Union

The night of the meeting, the
headquarters was surrounded with
uniformed and plainclothes officers,
and other minionS of the law were
stationed in the windows of the
armory across the street, spying
upon the meeting with powerful
grasses. Inside the hall, company
agents and other stool pigeons
mixed in the crowd OF messengers,
and mere and there, too tough and
cruel in appearance to be honest
workers, stood the easily recognized
guerillas OF Berghoff.

Company Tactics
These company tactics had not
been without their effect. This was
discerned as the meeting progressed.
The weaker boys began 70 drift iii
increasing numbers toward the
strike opposition group, led by the
stools ana company elements. The
strategy of this group was well
planned.
They contrived to crowd out the
militant and sincere messengers
fran gaining the floor to speak.
They noisily cheered those who
preached a policy of further nego-
tiationS with the companies, and
yelled down those who demanded
an immediate strike. Many boys.
new to strike struggles, and al
ready inundated by the police and
the gangSterS, chose to forget the
miserable conditions under which
they worked, and permitted them
selves to be swayed by the clique OF
mercenarieS.
Feeling that they were strong
enough to defeat the sentiment for
strike, the company faction de-
manded that vote be taken. The
results of this showed that they
had gained the support of about
half the boys present. Because of
this split the other messengers felt
it was best to postpone the strike,
as it was evident that the union
was not yet strong enough for
strike. The telegraph companies
had won this round.
