Wagenknecht’s statement is in the form of a letter to John S. Horn- back, demanding that he immediately protest the maltreatment of the pris- oners to the government. The work- ers are jailed in the Occaquon, Va., workhouse. Weakened By Jail. Weakened by their harsh treat- ment in the prison and the hunger strike, which they were forced to call immediately after their jailing in protest against mistreatment at the hands of their jailers in Wash- ington, many of these class war byisoners have become ill. In spite of the terror practised igainst them by their jailers all of the prisoners are unanimous in their determination to fight on for the liberation of their fellow prisoner, Jchn Porter. The International Labor Defense is issuing its demand that the gov- ernment ston the brutal treatment raeted out to the prisoners who have been slammed into the Ocecaquon werkhouse on the charge of violating a parade ordinance ordinarily en- tailing a five dollar fine. ° Savage Beating, Disclosure of the treatment of the prisoners at Occaquon follows on the heels of similar stories of savage beatings given John Porter, the vic-| tim of boss and jingo hatred in the New Bedford strike, who is now, Continued cn Page Two LARIFY MERGER ‘AT FURRIER MEET EndorseAmalgamation at Union Rally After continuing in session al- most five hours, in a highly inter- esting discussion of the problems they are facing, over a thousand fur workers crowded Manhattan Lyceum, 66 East 4th St., at a mem- bership meeting of their union, and came to an almost unanimous con- | clusion to endorse the convention decisions of the Joint Board, the most important of which was the proposed amalgamation with the left wing Cloak and Dressmakers’ Union.

Noah’s ark was built of gopher wood, according to the bible, and Strong, who believes implicitly in the bible and Dr. Jesus’s leper cure, builds his argument for the survi- val of the ark to this day as fol lows ‘Gopher wood,” he reasons, “is a species of cypress, which is not subject to the attack of the fungus of decay. The ark was grounded on a mountain, where the rareness of the air would check decay.

With hundreds of new union members, recruited during the pres- ent strike of broad k workers, unable to attend because the offi- cialdom refused to send them offi- cial notification of the meeting, and with all the highly skilled crafts- men of other union branches mobil- ized, the officialdom succeeded in railroading thru a measure that de- nies the right of the broad silk workers to choose strike tacties that will enable them to win their bitter struggle.
