Fish Witness Boasts of Attack on Unions (Continued tfom Page One) “have Beéal’s head.” And Batty, says Wood, “kept his word’; when hé sdW Beal on the picket line in the 1928 New Bedford strike, he hit | him in the face. When Wood heard that Beal was working in a mill somewhere in the vicinity of Gastonia, he testified that he traveled in his capacity of “in- dustrial conciliator” to that town, an? told Chief of Police Aderholt “you must get that man out of heré of there will be trouble.” Weod, when asked the usual question in the Fish investigation: “How many of them aré foreigners?” said of the Gastonia strikers, “None, they aré all nice peo,le.” The chief couldn’t find Beal, and the Gastonia sttike broke out two months after Wood’s visit. But besides the native American antle, Wood was a disappointment u* two other points. ‘is first hour and a half of tes- ny being so rambling and hard vnderstand, Nelson and Maine ved him and summed up a t' “y for him: “The Communists i a féw men into an industry #1 get 80 or 40 to mass picket. " o¥ get all out in one shop, and then all go and mass picket at an- uther. Finally they have the whole industrial center on strike, and then they collect money for themselves. As soon as the strike is nearly over they decamp.” It sounded tempting, and Wood @agerly agreed. But then when he began to describe the battle at Gas- tonia; he said it took place a month after the strike was over, and was stared by the Communists to at- tract attention. They shot Chief of Police Aderholt in the back.” A Contradiction. Then the puzdled Nelson queried, “But the Communists had all left when the strike neared its end?” And Wood never did satisfactorily explain that. Furthermore the committee has a) theory which they lead witnesses to |Party with a vicious attack upon |the revolutionary party of the | workers. | The workers presént at this méet- jing were not eontent with the | Speech and answers of the socialist | and they showed their discontent j by buying up all the Daily Workers the comrades brought along, many | of the workers eoutributing as much |as 10 and even 26 cents for single | copies of the Daily.

This léaflet was distributed to the workérs at the imeéting and was well received by | them. . | endorse, that the whole Communist |movement in America is run on money from the Soviet Union. But Wood has written a book (whieh he brought to the witness table and presented to the committee) in which he based his argument against “the Reds” on the théory that all their money, and theif sole reason for activity, is to “extfaet monéy from thé American workers.” They can’t both be trué and thé Fish com- mittee cross éxamined Wood on his theory a litte uritil hé blurted out, “T don’t think thé Rtissiah govern- ment has sent one kopeck to the Communists in, America.” They wanted Wood to say that none of the money collécted for strike relief went to the strikers; but Wood couldn't swallow that, He insisted they did feed some of the strikers. A Shocking Contract. Wood told a fanciful talé of how “Biedenkapp swindled thé shée workers into joining the Indepérd- ent Shoe Workers Union,” and thén signed contracts with 53 shoe boss- esy;which raised the wage.scale. The committee eagerly asked whether the workers got the in creased wages or, didn’t thé Com- munists steal it. Wood thought that 25 cents, or 35 cents dues a week for the union meant that the Com- munists were stealing thé money of the workers, He described in detail how shock- ed he was at the contract which thé shoe workers forced their bossés to sign. “It has a provosion that the employer can’t discharge a worker without the eonsent of the whion. There is no contract ever made by a regular A of L. of Brother- hood trade union in America that has anything like that in it.’ When he read this, he sat down and wrote | Elizabethton Mill | Workers Are Hard |, Hit By the Crisis Elizabethton, Tenn.

It is very significant that Chi- cago now has three big shows all once. These three big shows are, to wit: the hake-up” of the grafting politicians and police foree, the Rotary international con- vention and the strong determina- on of the workers to hold a suc- ful unemployment convention 4 and 5. It is very evident that the big war show is not so much to please the Rotarians—or to detract atten- tion away from the stinking mess of graft as to awe the workers in remind war formation to the workers to be quiet and lie down and starve. city in But the workers are not laying down and the grafters are sure worried.
