Sev- eral weeks ago the mill men loaned their lot to a medicine show for the same purpose, sueeessful, as the workers ignored it and attended the union meetings. Farmers Sympathetic. A committee consisting of Amy Schechter, Jesse Franks and Bertha Westwood have gone on a trip to Kannapolis. and Mooresville to or- ganize Workers International Re- lief branches.

Started Raid. “Kelley’s presence proves conclu- sively,” said Dunne, tonight, that | the raid was instigated by him end | other U, T. W. officials. “The purpose of the raid was clearly to prevent the distribution of the leaflet exposing the sell-out | by the U, T. W, officials and calling upon the workers to renew the struggle against the blacklist and starvation wages. “Preparations are being made to reprint the leaflet with up-to-date additions and distribute it. More workers are being blaklisted and denied work every day. Disgust with the United Textile Workers is increasing daily, as the workers see more clearly the trap they have been led into.” Take W.LR. Leaflets. The city and county forces have been mobilized to prevent the Na-| tional Textile Workers’ Union liter- ature from reaching the workers. All highways leading into the mill districts are patrolled. John Harvey was stopped on the searched and 500 Workers’ International Relief leaf- lets taken from him. While the deputies had Dunne in custody, the landlady of the board- ing house he lived in sent a tele- gram for him to the office of the International Labor Defense, an- nouncing his arrest. When the Elizabethton deputy |found this out, he tried to have the | message held in the Western Union office in Johnson City. He was too jlate, and then tried by threats to force Dunne and Harvey to sign an- | other message saying they were not \arrested.

Seven were dismissed for lack of evidence, Miller, in a 36 page “opinion” at- tempts to set a precedent in injunc- tion cases that can be used in every strike in every industry in the coun- try. He describes all forms of picketing as essentially illegal and criminal; he tries to cite constitu- tional authority for use of the state troops by the mill companies in their fight to break the strike of the workers, “There can be no such thing as peaceful picketing,” the judge said. “No more than there can be chaste vulgarity, peaceful mobbing or law- ful lynching.

Hoover's message specifically |stated that the congressional com- mittee would co-operate with the “Law Enforcement Commission” and \that he would designate a commit- |tee from the cabinet to also sit with |them. He stated that he expected the joint meetings to recommend legislation to centralize and strengthen the “dry” army and navy and the frame-up machinery that} goes with it. He did not say that this centralized and enlarged secret service, army and navy could be jused to break strikes, imprison la- bor leaders and as an auxiliary to the regular army and navy in the com- | ing war, but everybody knows that | already.

Christman’s report was followed by enthusiastic cheers from the membership. Harry Annis followed Christman. He explained the machinery of the A.
