Fixe workers, distributing leaflets | announcing tonight’s mass meeting in| Cooper Union, were arrested yester-| day by’a policeman who attempted to| destroy a whole bundle of the cir-| culars snatched from Lena Greenberg. | She, ‘together with Dora Halperin,| Ray Epstein and Moses Bergen were | taken inté é¢ustody when they tried to reclaim the leaflets and continued handing them out to the workers—| which is no violation of any law. They were taken to 30th street police sta- tion and placed under $500 bail each} until. they appear in Jefferson Mar-/| ket Court this morning. Registration of unemployed fur} workers began yesterday and will) continue until the strike is declared. | This ~registration will ensure the} maintenance of perfect control of all workers during the strike. The sys-| tem will be carried even more effec- | tively than. in previous strikes. Independent and Fur Trimming} Manufacturers were notified by letter yesterday of the Joint Board’s deci-| sion to’ call a one day stoppage on} the opening day of the strike. This | will enable all. workers in these shops | to get working cards, without which! nd Sigman’s propaganda bureau,|were arrested April 27, at Union they cannot return to their jobs. The Joint Board in its letter to indepen-| | dent manufacturers regrets the neces- | sity of such a stoppage, but states) that it is necessary in ordef to avoid} any further disturbances of produc-| tion. Some Funny Voting. | Rumors were thick yesterday con-| cerning the voting carried on by the | reactionary officials for delegates to the coming convention of the Inter- national Fur Workers’: Union. Fig- ures vary. Some people declare there | were as many as 100 votes cast; /} others sa’y the total was not over 65. However, all informants agree that the lowest vote was polled by I. Win- | nick, one of the vice-presidents who is said to have ambitions for the pres- idency. Of course hé may still be a delegate to the convention; but it will not be because he received enough | votes even from the right wing gang. | Oliviso Sentenced : to Penitentiary for | meeting called at Morris five aetive members of the organiza- tion? Among those. served is Jerry Carpentiere who was severely beaten | up by the right wing gangsters. One of the unionists was arrested | Monday night and held in jail until | the next morning. Three others were | arrested Tuesday. Al] are released under $200 ail. At a meet{ng of the general strike | committee Shapiro and .Skolnik pledge the moral and financial sup- port of. the! New York joint board. Morris. Langer, manager. of . the Newark local, outlined the. situation at present. He told the assembled workers that the.strike was one which concerned the, entire membership in their struggle for freedom of ex-| | pression within the union. PATERSON, N.
