These workers declare that they were brutally asaulted by the police before being arrested. Wray charges that one officer spit in-his face when he was inside the Mercer street po- lice station. They mainfain that the officers who attacked and arrested them have made the great majority of similar arrests since the beginning of the bex strike three weeks ago, Florence Geller, secretary of the union, charges that she witnessed of- ficers approaching workers on Woos- ter street yesterday and asking them if they wanted jobs. “In addition to riding on the paper box delivery wagons, protecting the property of the employers,” Miss Geller said, “the po- lice are evidently recruiting workera for the bosses to help break the strike.” , Try to Terrorize Pickets.

They are now using all their tricks on the delegates to the imperial conference, particularly those who are chafing un- der the collar because of the imperial restrictions imposed on them by the so-called “mother country.” "As we pointed out yesterday, it is not wise to believe British news sto- ries to the effect that Downing Street has Premier Hertzog of South Africa isolated from Canada and the Irish Free State representatives, As a mat- ter of fact, the British are at least as worried about Canada as they are about South Africa. And today we learn that the intention of Canada to send @ representative to Washington who would speak directly to the state department Canada has created a very uneasy fi in London, Bri Jesultism, This {s wh: British trickery comes in. The foreign office’ circulated the report that Washington would rather deal with imperial ambassador, speaking for all the dominions rather than with a),dozen representatives. As a matter of fact, Washington has already had direct conferences with South Africa over trade matters and one of Hertzog’s grievances is that the rBitish ambassador in Washington allowed imperial displeasure over the conversations to reach the white house, Labor Must Support Filipino"Démand, Say Anti-Imperialists “The Filipinos want their indepen- dence,” reads a statement by the U.
