AS THE WORKER
SEES HK WORLD
Summary and Digest of
Important Events of the
Week, Here and Abroad
Twelve hundred unemployed men
and women, gathered togethere by
leaders said to be communists,
Stormed the city hall at Cleveland,
Ohio, on February 11 and were beaten
back by police after injury to 20 of
their number and two police officers.
The United States department of
labor reports that following the set
tlement of a recent dispute between
the longshoremen and shipping agents
at Halifax, the longshoremen were
granted a working day of nine hours,
together with a number of minor con
cessions.
The League for Industrial Democ
racy is not an educational body but
"decidedly partisan" in advocating a
now social order in which goods
would be produced for use and not for
profit, the federal board of tax ap
peals ruled recently in deciding the
case of a woman who asked for de
ductions in income tax as the result
of contributions made to the league.
The Ralston Punt Co.
Gov. Roosevelt, of New York, de
clared recently that the Baumes law,
which compels judges to sentence
felony offenders to life imprisonment
on their fourth conviction will have
to be modified, but that he had not
thought of asking the present legis
lature to make any changes.
III! I
Strong opposition to recognition by
the United States of the Russian
soviet government was voiced in the
house on February 11 by Representa
tive Dickstein, of New York, who
assailed the soviet for its "oppres
sion of religious people of all creeds."
Officials of the Pennsylvania rail
road have agreed to equip a passen
ger locomotive with a perpendicular
headlight and operate it in Ohio as
an experiment looking to greater
safety. The beam of the perpendic
ular light will extend upward for 700
or 800 feet, and it is believed it will
be seen by motorists at a much great
er distance than the present horizon
tal beam.
DRESSMAKERS WIN
And Doom Sweatshops
Eight-Day in New
York Ends
New York City (ILNS)—Doom of
the sweatshop in the dressmaking
industry here was assured by an
agreement ending an eight-day strike
of 22,000 dressmakers. The agree
ment, which runs for two years, was
signed at city hall by representatives
of the manufacturers and the Inter
national Ladies' Garment Workers'
Union.
Eight thousand workers employed
by independent manufacturers remain
on strike, but will return to work as
fast as individual agreements cover
ing them are signed.
Settlement of the strike came as
the result of mediation by Lieut. Gov.
Herbert H. Lehman.
The agreement, considered a big
victory by the dressmakers, will vir
tually abolish sweatshops and will re
sult in the formation of an impartial
commission to settle disputes in the
industry. The agreement also pro
vides for a 44-hour working week.
No increase in wages was asked, this
having by agreement gone
over for
a year.
The impartial commission will be
appointed by Gov. Roosevelt and will
be composed of three representatives
of the union, of the three manufac
turers' associations and of three other
disinterested persons. The commis
sion will serve for a three months'
trial term and if successful will be
made a permanent body. Similar
machinery for settling disputes in
the cloak and suit industry is in oper
ation.

After 1,000 Hear Gorman's
Address
Danville Workers Applaud De
nunciation of Wag:e Reduction
and Alleged Industrial De
mocracy Scheme.
Danville, Va. (ILNS)—Mill own
ers here were told by Vice President
Francis J. Gorman, of the United
Textile Workers, that the union is
coming for the good of the workers
and in the end for the good of the
industry.
Speaking to 1,000 mill workers in
Majestic Theatre, Gorman aroused
his hearers to tremendous enthusiasm.
Later applications for membership
were signed by 750 workers, showing
the determination for unionism on
every hand.
Pursuant to the mass meeting,
Vice President Gorman met with a
picked committee of 100 to plan for
further work in the establishment of
a firm organization and for a strong
membership drive to bring in the en
tire roster of more than 5,000 work
ers employed in mills here.
Gorman sailed into the mill owners
on two counts. First, he attacked
the 10 per cent wage reduction or
dered by the Riverside and Dan River
mills. Employes joined in a pub
lished denial that they had acquiesced
in the reduction, recently put into
effect. They went further and ut
tered a ringing renunciation of the
so-called industrial democracy scheme
installed by the owners—the usual
scheme of deception.
Then Gorman waded into the as
sertion of the Riverside and Dan
River mill owners that their wage
scales rated above others in the
South. He showed the figures. He
read the schedules of the Erwin mills
and declared that H. R. Fitzgerald,
president of the Riverside and Dan
River mills, claiming the top wages,
were not correct.
"They are all claiming that they
pay the highest wages," said Gor
man. "And what is this high wage
that they are paying? Eighteen
dollars a week in the weaving room,
where the highest wages in the plant
are paid!"
Pointing to a million and a quarter
dollars paid in dividends and interest
to stockholders, Gorman ridiculed the
wage reduction as a bitter injustice,
showing that while wages were cut
the income to stockholders who do
not work in the mills was not
touched. He said that if, however,
the money for stockholders had to be
taken from surplus funds, the em
ployers might have taken just a little
more to keep from cutting wages.
Gorman said the wage reductions
were even unfair to the mills them
selves and to the whole textile indus
try in the South.
