RENO, Nevada, June 3.—In the state of Nevada, according to the Reno Evening Gazette, a local news- paper here, there is a reward of one thousand dollars for an officer of the law who captures a bank bandit, while if the bandit is killed by the officer, the officer recéives $2,500. This law was explained by the ivening Gazette when two miners of t City, Nevada, robbed the bank of Portola, California, one bandit being captured by the sheriff of ‘Washoe counnty as he attempted to make his way into Reno. “If the bandit had been killed in- stead of captured,” says the Gazette, “the capturing officer would have re- ceived $2,500, instead of $1,000.” Every Worker Correspondent must be a subscriber to the American Worker Correspondent.

AS GROWING STRIKE MOVEMENT WINS HIGHER WAGES By a Worker Correspondent. PERTH AMBOY, N. J., June 3.—The strike movement in Perth Amboy is going strong and promises to establish the city as a strong union district, four general organizers of the American Federation of Labor having been sent in to organize the workers who have been demanding unionization. All copper workers are to meet Friday evening, under the auspices of the A.

The workers from these enterprises are back at work,. waiting for the organ- izers to give them a union. The wage raise is for two and a half cents an hour to five cents, depending on the class of work. Strikes Still Popular. The three plants of the National Fireproofing company and the Bayuk Cigar company are still on strike. About 350 girls employed by the Bayuk Cigar company walked out when the boss tried to cut the piece work’ price from 80 cents to 70 cents a hutidfed. The boss claimed that he was 'inaking cheaper cigars and would only ¥éiuce the price to the girls for five Wkeks, when he would go back to the former make of smokes, The girls would not trust any boss to give them back Sothething he once took away. In addition, the girls claim that New York cigar makers are paid more for making the same cigars. They say that they will stop the bosses from their,scheme of coming to New Jersey ning, showed how the move of manu- facturers into New Jersey to escape the unions and get an open shop, must be fought. Elore Reporter Arrested. Mr. Friedman, a reporter for the Hungarian paper Elore, was arrested when talking to some of the cigar girls while they were being paid off. Officials of the Central Labor Union immediately secured his release. The girls had just voted while the boss looked on, against accepting the wage cut. On the third day of the strike, Mr. Good, organizer for the International Cigar Makers’ union arrived in Perth Amboy and laid plans at once to or- ganize the girls into the union. Pearl- man and Good spoke to the girls at an organization meeting and Friedman, reporter for the Elore translated the speeches in Hungarian. Pledge to Unionize. The strike committees from the At- lantic Terra Cotta and the New Jersey Terra Cotta plants, joined forces the second day and in a meeting address- ed by-George Pearlman, pledged to TO BE MADE IN McSWIGGIN QUIZ Crowe Grand Jury Will Adjourn Friday The Crowe-Carlstrom special grand jury, impanelled to investigate the slaying of Assistant State’s Attorney William H. McSwiggin and his two booze-running pals intends to adjourn Friday without returning any indict- ments in connection with the murders, Whitewash Crowe. The special grand jury under the law must be discharged Saturday as it has completed a session of a month’s duration. When this special grand jury was appdinted by Attorney Gen- eral Oscar B. Carlstrom at the direc- tion of State’s Attorney Robert E. Crowe objections were raised point- ing out the ‘impossibility of such a special grand jury carrying on a real investigation. of the connections be- tween gangland and Crowe's office and the circumi ices surrounding Mc- Swiggin's d and that such a spe- cial grand jury ‘would only attempt to hide the real facts and whitewash the state’s attorney's office. Captains) Recite “Pieces.” In its last sessions police captains from each district were called in and asked to testify on their inability to cope with beer-rumning gangs. Each of the captains recited a well-mem- orized piece about the gunmen and gangsters refusing to testify and ‘snitch” on their opponents. This tes- timony was meant to convince Cook county as to the grand jury’s hopeless task and prepare the way for its ad- journment without making any indict- ments. What About Tell-Tale List? Nothing is said about the list of Cicero vice and booze joints found in the pockets of one of McSwiggin’s bootlegger pals which had sums checked up against each name. The grand jury, the;knowing that this evi- dence existed, made no effort to delve into the meaning of the sheets of paper.

He “was surprised” to learn of the bad condi- tions. Weaver thought he was doing some- thing nice when he offered to “remove all obstacles that prevent the workers from turning out a big output”—as though workers were interested in in- creasing production instead of increas- ing wages. He also promised “to do something” for those getting only 41 cents an hour straight time. When asked what that meant, he said he might raise them to 45 cents. The workers turned down the offer and are holding out for a ten cent raise, MINE CAVE-IN ENTOMBS THREE AT BUTTE; TWO MAY BE DEAD, REPORT BUTTE, Mont.

Hakoah sports clubs are organized all over Europe. These clubs are used to aid the nationalist leaders in getting the Jewish population behind their dreams of a Jewish nation. ‘The best players that can be procured by the Hakoah are bought up. All of the players, tho they are supposed to be amateurs, are paid fancy prices for their sports work, At the reception in New York of the Hakoah Sports Club very little was said about sports or sports’ work. All of the speeches were on Zionism, Nathan Strauss, a Jewish millionaire, headed the reception committee, Nationalism, As the team travels all over the country, its managers extol the vir- tues of Zionism and urge the Jewish population to get behind the idea of a “home for the Jews” in Palestine, The backers of this attempt to arouse the nationalist fervor of the Jewish workers in America claim thet the tour is “non-political,” “non-parti- san.” These claims do not carry them very far. The class-conscious workers eee thru this move of the Zionist leaders. They begin to see the value of sports organization in rallying great masses of workers together and they are be- ginning to pay more attention to the organization of workers’ sports organi- zations.
