The cop, confi-| dent that workers were made to be clubbed, admitted that this version was true, and the judge was suffi-_ ciently embarrassed not to carry | through the usual railroading for | “assaylting a policeman.” He gave the man one day on top of the three | he had already served. ! This worker was arrested at a Communist meeting at University Place and 14th St., where Workers’ Ex-Servicemen were speakers. The L W. W. had got a police permit | for thé same corner and came down after the meeting had been going on | a long time with a well-known faker named Dalton, a man utterly without principles, who speaks for any organization that will pay him. Dalton wanted to speak and the 1. W. W. called the police to win the corner. A policeman came and tried to pull Harrison of the Ex-Service-| men’s League off the platform, the | crowd yelled “Let him speak,” and the Wobblies, whose meeting was now completely deserted, started to mil] around in the crowd. The cop began to wield his club, against Communists, not Wobs, and the worker who was tried yesterday took the club away. The cop then drew his gun, planted it in the work- er’s stomach, and, while everybody expected another Katovis murder, arrested him. Workers jerked the cop’s gun away from the man’s stomach. NEW YORK.—Masses of workers | in the National Biscuit Co. gathered around Food Workers’ Industrial Union speakers yesterday at the| regular Friday noonday meeting | there and approved especially the speech of June Kroll on the need of organizing women workers.

More arrests yesterday at the strike picket lines in the Bronx | brings the total to almost 40 within | three days.

FoR SCAB UNION PICKETS SHOP WHERE FWIU WON NEW YORK.—The Jewish “Day’ and the yellow socialist “Forward” are carrying articles boosting Saper- stein’s scab bakery on Burke and Holland Aves., Bronx. All the workers in this shop are on strike and have joined the Food Workers’ Industrial Union. Scabs are supplied by Local 507 of the Bakery and Confectionary Workers’ International Union of America (A.F.L,). The workers in this shop struck against the 16-hour day which the A.F.L, imposed on them, On this same street the F.W.I.U. has established union conditions in a shop at Burke Ave. and White Plains Rd. There is no strike there, and the workers have won the eight- hour day and sanitary conditions, as well as the union rate of pay. This shop the A.F.L. pickets—in order to throw more business to Saperstein’s, which has lost abou 90 per cent of its trade. The A.F I. makes no demands for worke it only sells its label. Sentiment of the entire neighborhood is for the Saperstein strikers and against the fake picketing of the ship where the F.W.I.U. has control.
