Strikers at Huge Meeting (Special to The Daily Worker) NEW YORK, Oct. 18—Labor, defi- ant, delivered another blow against the use of the Injunction and arrests in New York Saturday afternoon when a mass estimated at 20,000 gathered at Union Square and cheered their ap- proval of the speakers’ demands that the use of the courts to break strikes be discontinued. Militancy stalked thru the gathering. Shouts of approval broke out at the suggestion of labor vigorously fight- ing the use of political power against the workers, Every suggestion of the necessity of aggressiveness and fight on the part of the workingclass to change their conditions was greeted with sweeping applause, Tammany Labor Official Backs Out. The success of the demonstration was accomplished despite the sabo- tage’ of the officials of the Central Labor Council. In spite of the fact that this body was represented in the Emergency Labor Conference where the program of a mass demonstration and march on the city hall was pro- mulgated, their support was with- drawn Fridgy night. Destructive tactics were also em- ployed by Abe Beckerman, manager of the New York Joint Board of: the Amalgamated Clothing Workers, who declared that the name of his organ- ization had been used without authorl- zation a6 there had as yet «been no action taken. This: was said despite the fact. that his union was also re- presented in the Emergency Labor Conference which decided upon the demonstration, ‘The fact that the demonstration was to march on the city hall and make demands on Mayor Walker against the injunction is believed to be the cause of the defection of the Trades and Labor Council officials, who are associated with Tammany Hall, These officials agreed to speak at the Union Square meeting but would oppose everything if the march to city hall who spoke from half a imultaneously, denounc- ed the use of political power against the workers in their struggles.

The prostration of politicians and plutocrats before a repre- #entative of one of the most tyrannical royal families in Europe, however, was marred by the staging of a huge workers’ demon- stration in Union Square against the reception of the Queen.
