THE DAILY WORKER PICKETS DEFY POLICE THUGS AND WEATHER Girl Beaten and DAILY WORKER Reporter Arrested In spite of falling snow and the flying fists of half-drunken policemen the picket lines of the girl garment strikers were stronger yesterday than they have been for a week. Thirty-five pickets were ar- rested, almost a record number for the strike, but the girls were back on the picket line as acon as they were bailed out. Proof that the heroic deter- mination of the pickets is be- ing rewarded is shown by the announcement of the special citizens’ committee that more than 70 shops have already settled with the Ladies’ Gar ment Workers’ Union and that other bosses are ready for ar- bitration. Picketing Spells Success, The success of the strike now de- pends on the picket lines being kept at the highest possible strength while the bosses weaken and sur- render one by one. Strikers are wel- coming the volunteers who are join- ing them from other unions and are eagerly looking forward to morg sup- port from the Chicago Federation’s “Committee of 15” which meets to- morrow to consider the question of mass picketing. The committee will afso take up the question of the police violence which is running rampant on the picket lines ahd which is inspired by the liquor which employers are pouring down the throats of the bluecoats who are guarding their premises. Ethel Spink Beaten, The worst act of brutality yester- oy morning was the beating of Miss Ethel Spink by Officers 5489 and 3609 in front of the C. H. Lowenthal fac- tory on S. Market street, near Jack- son, yesterday morning. Miss Spink is not a striker. Her shop settled with the union recently and she was on her way to work and| stopped to talk with one of her friends on the picket line when the police rushed at them. With a kick from his heavy shoe Officer 5189 sent the other girl reeling, then he clutched Miss Spink with both hands about the breast and began to shake her vio- lently. Two Brutes At One Girl, The plucky little girl, who is hard- ly more than five feet high, Was slip- ping out of his grasp when Officer 8609 grabbed her also, the two of them tearing at her from opposite sides as they dragged her along the pavement, Officer 5189 beating at her with his fists. The girl’s cries reached the ears of Arthur Shields, a reporter for the DAILY WORKER, further down the street and he ran up in time to see Miss Spink struggling in the arms of the two brutes with four other police- men making a blue-coated ring. The smell of liquor was heavy in the air. At this moment Lena Morvitz, a Ha ete who was protesting against the rutality was seized and a plain- elothesman pointed out the reporter. “Take.our numbers, will you!” snarled Officer 2389. “Jl smash your G—— d. head,” chipped in Officer 8587. The reporter was asked for his eredentials and showed them amidst £ spout of profanity from the drove “THAT Paper.” “That’s THAT paper that comes | down here!”, growled another polic man, and the plainclothes advisor sug. gested that they arrest him on an-| other charge. | Up stepped 3587 who afterwards| gave his name as M. Cronyn and ar- Tested the reporter on the charge of “Resiting an officer in the perform- ance of his duty” and “disorderly conduct.” The former charge was afterwards dropped. In the C. H. Lowenthal doorway which is used as a detention place awaiting patrol wagons the police urged Lowenthal himself to produce “some girl” to prefer a charge of as- fault against one of the pickets. But the boss said he could not do so, “More Room.” \ As the patear wagon was going away, with five prisoners—three more being picked up down the street, a detective jumped on the rear and laughingly suggested that there was still morg room—‘“better get some more.” . Injunction Hearings Begin. Injunction Judge Dennie Sullivan will start hearing the cases of 15 strikers tomorrow in the county Lady Columbia: “Now we're so intimate, you boys mustn’t call me Mis(s) Government! Out Wit ORKERS AND FARMERS! The ‘disclosures of the Tea- pot Dome investigation nave shown sinister capitalist control of every agency in the government. The revelations to date in the Wheeler investigation of the De- partment of Justice and Attorney- General Daugherty have proved again that the United States gov- ernment is a tool in the hands of the employing class, used against the working and farming masses. Now is the time for the workers and farmers to get together and demand a hearing before the Wheeler committee in order to ex- pose the criminal conduct of At- torney-General Daugherty and Wil- liam J. Burns in the last strike of railway shopmen and in other re- cent labor struggles. Workers and farmers! Go to your unions, labor organizations, farm organizations, and secure the adop- tion of resolutions demanding that the Wheeler committee investigate and make public the strikebreak- ing activities of Attorney-General Daugherty and William J. Burns. Go to your local unions, central labor body, farm coperative associa- tion, and have them pass resolu- tions calling upon the executive council of the American Federation of Labor to demand that it be called e cases yesterday and the strikers ill begin their formal defense to- day. They are Louis Sakaloff, Min- {nie Sugarman, Marion Brosk, Sarah Horwitz, Yetta Russman, Celia Fac- lor, Valentino Pieseck, Marcella Ha- rom, Samuel Kauffman, Alice H. Carzie, Pearl Czernick, Barney Went- worth, Camille Skrzat, Mrs. Louise Peurns and C. F. Miller. Get After Mayor. Anton Johannsen announced to a strike meeting yesterday that the sub committee appointed by Father Frederick Seidenberg of the Citizens’ committee to work towards strike settlement has sent a summons to Mayor Dever demanding that none but uniformed officers be used in the strike zone. (This would eliminate the plain clothes men). Also that a special force of patrolman be selected for strike duty and instructed to ar-| rest guards and private detectives, as well as pickets, when these thugs violate the law. BURNS. MUST GO!

Now is the time to get rid of Burns and Daugherty, Our slogans must be, “Get Burns!” “Get Daugherty!” “Out with Burns!” “Out with Daugherty!” There must be no more of Burns or Daugherty in the government.

Away with all employers’ private armies of gunmen and detectives! Let us organize ourselves for control of the government by the workers and poor farmers—a work- ers’ and farmers’ republic.

Hibbs and Company, brokers, but re- ceipts of the accounts were signed by Jesse Smith, intimate friend of the attorney-general. Senator Charles Curtis, republi- can whip from Kansas, and Davis Elkins of West Virginia, were the two mempers of the Upper House of Congress whose stock gamblers were bared, Congressman Arthur B, Rouse, Kentucky democrat, and former rep- resentatives Wells E. Goodykvontz, | West Virginia; Thomas Jefferson | Ryan, New York, with J. T. Himes, Ohio, were also found on the books. Ryan cleaned up $8,645 profit on one deal, Price McKinney, of Cleveland, the second witness on the stand, said during the time the oil committee was investigating the source of for- mer Secretary of the Interior Fall's sudden wealth, Fall wrote him, ask- ing him to say he was the source ‘Polikushka 1VAN. \ } { of the $100,000 loan, which E. L. Do- heny later said he gave Fall. “But you did not say you loaned it ” Walsh asked. “No, sir.” McKinney was then excused. J._G. Darden, former president of the Mammoth Oil Company, will be called as the first witness tomorrow, Senator Walsh announced. He was discovered hiding in a Washington hotel. Darden is the oil man with whom Roxie Stinson testified Jesse Smith and Attorney General Daugherty en- tered into negotiations. She said that each sent him $2,400, Darden has proved an elusive witness, He ‘was subpoenaed a month ago, but it was not until this week that U. S. marshals succeeded in serving him. Darden will be followed by wit- nesses called in connection with the story of Leonard Wood, Jr., regard- ing an alleged proposal to his father in 1920 by Jame Hamon. A new sheaf of code telegrams that shed iight upon the intentions of former Secretary of Interior A. B. Fall, was deciphered for the Sen- ate oi] committee today. The mestages were in a new code and W. F. Friedman, the signal corps expert who unraveled the Ger- man cipher during the war, required nearly a week to translate them. Fall and other criminals ia the oil seandal sent or received the mes- sages thru the Three Rivers, N. M., telegraph offices, Breaking off a four day recess and entering the final phates cf its investigation, the committee today first took up stock speculations of government officials, IMPEACH COOLIDGE! ————_—__..

The investigators are said to be sunning down a report that Calvin Coolidge, then vice-president, was present in McLean’s house on July 3, when the Dempsey-Carpentier fight films were shown in violation of law.

This was bad for the white race, the attorney-general is alleged to have said. Bunch of Subpoenaes Issued. Among those for whom subpoenaes were issued’ besides Secretary of the Treasury, Andrew Mellon and Sec- retary of War John Weeks are: Pro- hibition Commissioner Haynes; John W. H.

William Orr told a story of large payments, totalling sometimes $25,- 000 at a time, to Howard Mannington, | # close friend of Daugherty, These payments Orr said, were in connec-|} tion with “liquor deals”. Orr, the witness who told of the alleged liquor deals, said that “vari- ous people” gave him money in con- nection with liquor withdraw: ind that he always turned it over to Man- nington, Senator Wheeler asked him if the total did not reach $200,000, but Orr said he could not tell the exact figure.
