The 10 workers arrested during
the mass picket line in front of the
Ohrbach department store on Union
Square, Saturday, were held over
for Special Sessions Court to be
tried for contempt of court, after a
hearing Saturday evening at Night
Court.
These are the first of the 1879 ar
rested to be charged with violating
the injunction which prohibits more
than four pickets in front of the
store at the same time. All were
paroled in the custody of the at
tcrney of the Office Workers Union.
Milton Eisenberg, attorney for
Ohrbach's, declared in court that if
the snake dances" in front of the
store do not cease Ohrbach may be
forced to close the store.
Yesterday there was mass dis
tribution of leaflets on Union
Square addressed to the buying
public" calling upon them not to
buy at Klein's store on Union

Rank and File Center
Urges Members To Dust
Both Cliques

WASHINGTON, D. c.. Dec. 81
The climax of the jurisdictional
fight between officials of the Build
ing Trades Department of the A. F.
of L. was reached yesterday, when
twelve of the nineteen unions COM
prising the department. moved out
of the A. F. of L. building and set
up independent headquarters across
the street.
Officials of the twelve unions are
the faction headed by Michael j.
McDonough, who refused to attend
the recent convention of the de-
partment, presided over by William
Green, or to abide by its decisions.
In the meantime, headed by
William j. Williams, another Build
ing Trades Department was set up
by the A. F. of L.
The A. F. of L. Trade Union Com
mfttee at l Union Square. New
York, declared that their split is
only a result of struggle between
corrupt officials for power in the
Building Trades Department. The
consequence of this split between
the officials, it is expected. will be
followed by attempts to split up the
building trades unions and increas-
ing jurisdictional disputes.
The Rank and File Federationist.
organ of the A. F. of L. Trade
Union Committee, states as fol-
lows in its January issue regarding
the dispute:
THE rank and file have nothing
to do with the iurisdictional dis
putes of McDonough, Green and
Hutchinson. The bricklayers, cleo
tricians and carpenters have no
quarrel with the painters, plasterers
and other building trades workers.
The rank and file of the local
unions are disguised with the cor
rupt leadership of the building
trades department and with the
methods used by these officials to
keep themselves in power. The
members of the carpenters, painters
and other internationals are organ
izing on national scale to throw
out these corrupt officials and re-
gain the organizations for the bene-
fit of the rank and file"

Los Angeles Lockout
In Strike Cited AS
Order Is Rejected

LOS ANGELES, Cal. Dec. 81
Realizing from many recent cases
that N. r. A. decisions against the
bosses are not made to be enforced,
the Los Angeles Railway Company
has fatty refused to abide by the
order Of the National Labor Rela-
lions Board to recognize the Anal
gamated Association Of Street and
Electric Railway Employees as an
exclusive bargaining agency for it's
workers.
In statement issued by P. B.
Harris, vice-president of the Los
Angeles Railway Company, the
street car company declares that all
the strikers have been discharged, :"
are therefore no longer It's en-
ployees, and therefore the right of
collective bargaining is not inn
paired.
The letter uses the non-union and
company union as a blind, by stat
ing that if the companies were to
notify that they recognized the
Amalgsmated as the exclusive bar
gaining agency, they would, vol
unfairly and without the consent
of those of their employees whose
rights would be determined by such
action, be depriving those employees
of their proper rights to bargain
collectively, which right, they be-
lieye, and which right, we are sd-
vised, is vested In them by virtue
of our code. This we cannot VOL
unfairly do
Also, by posting a notice the
morning the strike was called-and
in anticipation of the strike call
by the company, stating that ell
employees not reporting for work
that day, would no longer be in the
employ of the company, the COM
pany now states that no striker is
an employee, therefore there is nc
strike.
Thus, according to the logic of
the Los Angeles Railway all an en-
ployer need do is to fire his en-
ployees if they refuse to report to
work on the morning of the first
day of a strike, and they need no
longer be reckoned with.
Having so simply disposed of the
bona -fide strikers, the letter pro-
ceeds to point out that:
THE records before your board
show without contradiction that
these companies have in good faith
conducted collective bargaining pro-
ccedings with all their employees
meaning those not striking Ed. !
and have granted a majority of the
requests made by such employees.
I'VE propose to continue so to
bargain in good faith and sincerely
believe that in SO doing we have
not been, and are not, guilty of
any violation of the true intent and
meaning of Section Ia"

is considered even better.

workers, and $500 for the skilled.
