A struggle will en- sue between the. police and the workers, resulting in the victory of | the latter and the release of their comrades, This scene, one of thd largest) mass spectacles ever staged in this country, will mark the high point of | 2 program of unusual lavishness. Another feature of the program will be the taking of moving pic- tures of the outing, showing scenes | of the various activities. This pic- | ture will later be shown throughout | the country. Other Numbers.

Despite the mobilization of all these forces of the bosses and their |etrikebreaking government, scores of workers in the cotton division American Printing Company plant joined the strike noon. This is adniitted even boss-owned press here. pee ny The announcement that the de- partment of justice will interfere has already succeeded in stirring up a storm of indignation, not only among the strikers, but even among the membership of the reactionary- captained American Federation of |Textile Operatives, Their indignant condemnation of this move reveals not only hatred for this scheme to hurt the popular Textile Mill Committees, but also re- member the role played by these frame-up artists in the Sacco-Van- zetti murder. Meanwhile the officialdom of the A, F. T. ©. Textile Council, who, led by their black president, Police Commissioner Tansey, are trying their utmost to halt the growing sentiment for general walkout. Campos, council secretary, yester- day issued a statement asking for a conference with Nathan Durfee, American Printing Company boss, in which he declared that he will promise not to take up the wage cut question. He asks the parley, however, to convince Durfee to grant recognition to his union. The councj! also issued an order to their members, many of whom had joined the strike, to remain at their places by the looms. This etrikebreaking move is vehemently denounced by their own member- ship. a {workers formed ir BRAVE CITY'S POLICE pecial to the Dai ily Worker) Mass:, Aug. 8—More than two thousand shoe workers of this city, crowding the approaches to the hall where they were intend- ing to listen to speakers of the Pro- gressive Shoe Wo: rs, yesterday confronted a battalion of police called by .the authorities and the bosses to prevent the meeting. A mass meeting of shoe workers had been scheduled for seven- thirty in the evening, but the first hodies of police began to surround the hall by four in the afternoon. More followed presently until all entrances to the building were un- der police guard. Warned that the authorities had acted to prevent the gathering, the crowds front of the hall, but the organizers at- | tempted to proceed with the meet- ing and were warned by the captain of police to leave the city immedi- ately under threat of arrest. in Protests from the crowd only brought a more inenacing aititude on the yart of the police. In order to prevent any disturbance which could react against the shoe work- ers, whose resentment was growing as the crowd increased, the chair- men then announced that the meet- ing would be postponed until next week. In the meantime efforts will be made to obtain official permission for holding a similar meeting al- though the leaders of the Progres- sive Shoe Workers expect to en- counter strong oprosition from the G rl Shell Shocked at Military ; Camp LANCASTER, Pas, —Miss Emma M, Westerman of this city is suffering from shell shock as a result of standing near a large field gun while visiting Camp Henderson, at Mount Gretna, recently Miss Westerman unknowingly walked near the piece while a smoke sereen was being laid.
