Brother Sam Zwaleck, one of the workers of the shop of the Cheaspesa had been out of work for a period of nine months and badly in need of funds, as is natural. got a job in the Chesapeake shop and as soon as the union called on this shop to strike he began talking to the springers, who were still on the job, and the next day of the spri fcMowed the rest of the stri beeause the be i 7 talking. The w showed their solidarity by walking out on strike and are now active fighters with the union. Bosses Try fo Brezk Strike. The bosses, members of the Furni- ture Manufacturing Association, are doing their best to become strike- breakers, by daily visiting the homes of the strikers and telling them the usual lies that the other workers have gone back to the job and telling them that they had better follow suit if thy want to hold their jobs. The workers understand the trick however and will not be fooled by this prattle of the boss and will stay together and wim the fight. Fight for organization; the fight will be won if all of the workers stick is ne *.,together and fight the boss who is trying to break the ranks, and’ the bosses will lose this battle and the Workers will come out victorious. Tn an interview with the Organizer of the Upholsterers International Union and Representative of the Baltimore Federation of Labor the following condition was stated as to the strike: The strike of the Upholsterers of Baltimore started on September 1, 1927. There is a total of 250 workers already out on strike who come from six of the largest shops in the city. The rest of the workers are ready to go out at the call from the union, if the bosses do not consent to settle and negotiate with the union. The Upholsterers Furniture Asso- ciation is seriously affected by the strike. This is shown by a letter that was recently sent to the workers by the bosses. The conditions of the workers here are much worse than that of any of the other cities where the upholsterers are organized.

It was also partly due to m American soldiers marrying Russia girls in Vladivostok, thereby learning |‘ something of the psychology of the | Russian people and what the revolu-| tion was all about. Most of the mu- |tinous troops were transferred to the Philippines as soon as possible, in an | effort to hush up the affair, the rest were discharged and sent home.

The monstrous hypocrisy which produced the rabid denunciation of the Communists and the left wing in their efforts to break thru the solid front of capitalists and crooked labor officials in Passaic and other cities is now apparent.

The purposes of the drive on the Communists and the left wing in Passaic are likewise made clear—the intention was to shift the issues of union recognition, wages and work- ing conditions to “Communism versus trade unionism,” to distract attention from the strikebreaking role of crooked labor leaders and _ enable them to do the dirty work for labor’s enemies under the guise of 100 per-, cent Americanism—the patriotic pose | assumed by every scoundrel. | |e would be a grave mistake to see in the New Jersey exposure an isolated incident the cause of whieh is a crooked Hilfers with connections Lieutenant for Murder | LOSE (NELUENCE | a RAVENNA, Iti Sept. 14. — They are to be found only in the in Two Against One Fight, | . 1 Leopold Massaroli was shot and IN THE U, $. §.
