First, it is to be noted that these workers struck against the wishes of their officials and in repudiation of terms secured by the official com- mittee thru negotiation with the bosses. Seeond, obvious efforts to prevent the strike because of the connection of the more powerful employers with the Tammany Hall political machine met with failur Third, the strike was marked by police provocation and brutality from its inception to its end. The “indus- trial squad” even raided a meeting of strikers while the union and bosses’ committees were meeting. Fourth, Joseph Ryan, head of the | Longshoremen’s Union and one of the |leaders of the Central Labor Council, announced at the beginning of the |strike that “his” union was not in- |volved and would not call a strike in support of the truckmen. This action undoubtedly gave great encouragement to the bosses and was a blow at labor solidarity. Fifth, while the strikers secured a $5 a week increase they did not suc- A: Grand St. Cosgrove.

It is clear, in view of the solidarity and militancy of the strikers them- selves, and the widespread sympathy \for them among the rank and file of other waterfront unions, expressed in many ways, that united action by all of these unions would have gained the | eight-hour day and would in addition have greatly strengthened unionism on the whole waterfront of the biggest port in the United, States. 2 Sixth, the suddenness with which the strike occurred, following the be- | trayal and defeat of the traction workers, the repudiation of the offi- cial committee by the rank and file, the stubborn insistence of the strikers on guarantees before they would re- turn to work, the mass picketing in | the face of. police mobilization, the de- velopments near the end of the strike which nearly resulted in its renewal ary officialdom is by no means as eomplete as many believe.

When Sophie Epstein, chairman, opened the meeting she was immedi- ately placed under arrest. Leo Tob- chnick, an-official of the Grocery Clerks’ Union, who then mounted the platform was also taken into custody. When the policeman left for the station house with his two prisoners, Rose Nevins of the council and Louis A. Baum, secretary of the Photo- graphic Workers’ Union spoke. Returning to the meeting, the pa- trolman found Baum addressing a large crowd. He was telling the as- sembled workers that it was a dis- grace the way labor meetings are broken up in this city. He also point- ed out that the widows and orphans of dead policemen are also not treated in a proper manner. This apparently had a vivid effect on the policeman, for he allowed the meeting to con- tinue without interference. Six Pickets Arrested. | Six piekets were also arrested yes- terday while picketing the grocery store at 521 East 187th St. Of the eight workers arrested yesterday" three were released on $500 bail and the others paroled in the custody ot their attorney.
