THE DAILY WORKER, NEW YORK, FRIDAY, AUGUST 3, 1928. Page Five — Boston Capmakers Denounce President Zaritsky’s Inj CONSPIRACY TO DESTROY UNION, MEMBERS SAY ‘Is a Crime Against Organization” BOSTON, August 2—The ap- plication of President Max Zaritsk of the Cloth, Hat and Capmakers International, for an injunction against the administration of Local 7, Boston, is denounced in a state- ment issued last night by the local. Zaritsky is being represented, by two socialist attorneys, Bearal® and Ro- wer, and further hearing in the case will take place Aug. 21. The statement of Local 7 follows, in part: “The application for an injunc- tion against the administration of Local 7 (Boston) of the Cloth Hat and Cap Makers International, by President Zaritsky is the culminat- ing point of a whole policy of sup- ‘pression of all progressive elements in our International. The same high- handed policy is being carried out in Chicago,’ “ew York and in other centers. progressive group fights against the policies of the International Officers, which poli- cies it considers as dangerous to the best welfare of the vast thajority of the membership and as destructive of our organization. Start Disrupting Tactics. “The International officials had determined that we must be ousted. They organized factions in our local in an effort to disrupt the normal functioning. When this failed, they trumped up charges against our ad- ministration and an investigation committee of International Officers found nothing to base its charges on, Next came the demand that we call special elections because they claimed that the membership had no confidence in us. ‘We agreed to it, and in the elections supervised by a committee of International Officers, we received a substan- tial majority. Form Illegal Local. ‘Defeated in this last maneuver, our International officers entered on an arbitrary campaign of extermin- ation. They completely disregarded the constitution of our International, of which they are the supposed guardians. They declared us de- posed without so much as prefer- ring charges or giving us a hear- ing. “The application for this injunc- tion is a detestable act worthy only of misleaders of the workers.

CONFLICT Council Divided Over Smith-Hoover ATLANTIC CITY, Aug. 2.—Con: tinued conflict between members of the executive council of the Amer- ican Federation of Labor in session here as to the endorsement of either Hoover or Smith is believed to be the reason for the postponement of the discussion on a political pro- gram until the last session. iG Reports have been issued that the council would not take a stand on the presidency as the way out of the dilemma between the powerful camp headed by Matthew Woll, vice- president of the federation, who is known to have held secret confer- ences with Hoover, and the camp headed by Green who admits freely that he has practically promised mith to use his-influence to en- lorse the Tammany governor.

RAILWAY ‘RAISES’ S STILL RAGING Wage; PAYS LESS Fires Many 1] Hundreds of Workers LANCASTER, Pa., August 2.— Accompanied by a nominal increase |of wages of from one cent to five cents an hour, the Pennsylvania Railroad, it was learned today, has given the gate to nearly two thou- |sand employes and has speeded up its 25,000 workers to previously un- believatle records.

Eli Keller, an organizer of thé T. M. C., Elizabeth Donnelly and Eula- lie Mendes were seized by the au- thorities while they were leading the long line in front of the mill. Manuel Kasmiiro and Manuel ,Costa were arrested with Keller. The arrival of the police failed to scatter the picket line as the au- thorities had apparently expected. The pickets defied the police declar- ing that mass picketing is legal and that they would continue’ to picket unless arrested. Eight were taken to police headquarters. In pursuance of the orders of Mayor Ashley to jail all strike leaders for law violations, regard- less of the nature of his offense, the police are attempting to arrest all the picket line leaders on whom they ean lay their hands, Results of the balloting on the question of arbitration by unions af- filiated with the Textile Council is being awaited here.

Rather than permit his three-year- old son to grow up a hopeless idiot, Vladimir Orlofsky, an aviator, killed the child and then surrendered him- self to the state. After a brief trial, Orlofsky was found ‘technically guilty and the court sentenced him to six months’ imprisonment, but immediately sus- pended sentence, merely reprimand- ing him publicly. The act of the Soviet court in first sentencing him to prison and then} suspending the sentence was caused by the fear that other parents, especially among the ignorant of the population, might take Orlofsky’s action as a precedent for doing away with their own children. The six months’ sentence, therefore, was a sort of warning to others that the WASHINGTON (F.P.)—Resigna-| court considers Orlofsky’s act in- ; jnity. The announcement carried the tion of John J.
