They are placed on the “We don’! patronize” list, Yesterday five “observers” who were sitting in an automobile near a non-union job in Alameda were ar rested and charged with “stealing a box of tools.” Bail was finally set at $250 each.

LeY One of the radical Clyde group in the House of Commons, LABORERS TIE-UP ALL CLEVELAND BUILDING JOBS Workers Confident They Will Win Strike CLEVELAND—(FP)—For the first time in the history of the American labor movement a general strike of building laborers has brought a com- plete shutdown of all building opera- tions. This is the situation in Cleve- land where 5,000 building laborers went on strike March 1 for $1 an hour. Hitherto building laborers have struck on isolated jobs, or in conjunc tion with other building trades, but never has @ single-handed strike been effective enough to close down all big building operations, Demands have been granted for 1,500 laborers on independent jobs but the big contracting companies held out. As a result the Cleveland Build- ers Supply Co., operating a score of yards, docks, warehouses and offices, has closed down. Cleveland bankers are losing $30,- 000 a day by waiving interest due from borrowers on struck jobs. In addi- tion fat profits, estimated in the mii- lions, are lost by contractors. The strikers and affiliated building crafts are not worrying about the wages they are “losing.” “The work now tied up will have to be completed sometime,” they say. “The money the men might now be earning will be paid to them when work is resumed. The men are not actually losing anything. There will be just as much building, but it is be- ing put off until the laborers get what they ought to have. We are used to going without wages. The bankers are not.” LIVING NEWSPAPER BY DAILY WORKER RABCOR TONIGHT! DON'T MISS IT!
