This in- junction has not yet been served on he proper union officials, and the| en arrested are released when they | ; ppear in magistrate’s court. Yesterday the bosses’ lawyers told the police to take the arrested! pickets to the supreme court, where | the presiding judge ruled that even though the injunction had not been legally served, the pickets would have to stay away or go to jail. Will Continue Picketing. The pickets do not inten’ to stop their watning of all concerned that Griffing & White is a struck shop. Last Monday seven kebreakers got into a fight in this shop but the police made it an excuse for arrest- ing Joseph Fontano, a striker, and getting him held under $1,500 bail. The Bender Shoe Shop in New York is frantically hunting strike- breakers but so far has obtained only a few old time scabs, who spent their first day getting drunk, and have not had the nerve to come back. The strike of the Liff Shoe Shop is going on full force. Only a few slaves of the boss are at work. Yes- terday one of the scabs tried to slap a picket, and both were arrested. e union immediately had the striker bailed out. Shop Delegatss Meeting.

New York City has become in fact the Injunction City, the City of Police Terror, under the rule | of the parties of Big Business, the minions of Tammany Hall and the | republican party. In this critical situation, it is | necessary that every labor organi- zation and every individual work- er take immediate action to stem the tide of capitalist terror against the labor movement of | New York City. Help the cafeteria workers on strike. Join their picket line in mass violation of the bosses’ in- junction. Help the striking food workers financially and in every possible way. Don’t patronize scab restaurants. Mobilize for May Day. Pass resolutions in your labor organization protesting against the reign of terror and the injunc- tion menace. Mobilize in full force for the giant meeting at the Coliseum on May 1st and the May Day parade, as a mighty protest against the tyranny of the employing class and their lackeys in the City Hall and the courts. Build the new trade union cen- ter as a bulwark against the for- ces of capitalism. Send your union or shop delegate to the Trade Union Unity Conference at the Irving Plaza on May 18 and 19th in preparation for the national conference in Cleveland on June ist and 2nd. Down With Injunctions. Down with the government by injunction and police terror, The forces behind the city gov- ernment are the same forces which today are exploiting most cruelly the women, Negro and young workers, the same forces which are shooting and clubbing the starving textile workers of the South, the same capitalist class which is oppressing the colonial peoples of Latin America, Haiti, the Philippines, Cuba, Nicaragua and China, the forces which are rushing the workers headlong into a new imperialist war and attack upon the Soviet Union. Down with the socialist party and the A, F. of L. bureaucracy, which have betrayed the workers in the struggle. Hail the Communist Party, the stalwart leader of the struggle of the working class against capital- ist exploitation and imperialist war.
