The Smash the In- junction Committee of the Trade Union Unity Council, callir demo! ion, points out is the ‘al demonstr have been several at Zelgreen cafe- teria, culminating in a most militant and vigorous one last Thursday. The mass pressure and fury of the work- ers and jobless against the court orders that tell them they dare not strike, the revolt against this ne slavery, is so strong that the 36 pick- ets arrested Thursday have been let off my special sessions with fice days. 3 and a suspended sentence All who were not already out on bail have been released, those bailed Gut pending trial yesterday are serv- ing the five days. Keep Fighting. The Smash the Injunction Com- mittee warns that five day sentences under Paragraph 600 (“violation of an injunction”) instead of the usual 60 day terms is not to be considered as a victory over the injunttion, It is just a tactical move by the court, which hopes that now everything will be forgotten, that the wor! will go to sleep, leaving the injunction men- ace ready to be revived in every food strike still to come, to be launched like an avalanche at the strikers in the approaching dress struggle, and to drive all pickets away from struck shops of every kind.. All out Monday, to save the right to strike! The trial yesterday was fore Judges Greffer, Murphy and Healy ‘They co-operated fully with the prosecution, which was led by Irving Epstein, the A.F.L. business manager of Local 302 the company union that had the injunction issued. Jonah Goldstein, attorney for A.F.L. Wait- ers Local No. 1 was in court practi- cally as chief prosecutor. | Demonstration Outside. | While the trial was goiflg on, some | 2,500 jobless as workers were holding a demonstration before the nearby city fake employment agency, and the noise bothered the judges a lot. | TThey commented on it, before} handing out the five-day sentences. | All pickets were found guilty, of | course. Special sessions, is the pe- culiar New York juryless court; trial | before it for a militant worker is Rally to only the formality that precedes sen- tencing. Struggle More Determined. The released issued the following statement: “We the prisoners arrested Nov. 13 because we participated in the dem- onstration to/ smash the injunction at Zelgreen Cafeteria, on our release today after serving six days and being given a suspended sentence, declare that we are more determined than ever to carry on the fight against the vicious injunction weapon of the bosses and their agents, the judges, and courts. In the demonstration we felt the club of the A.F.L. agent, Irving Ep- | , @S well as those of the bosses police. Epstein was even more s than the cops themselves. winging a policeman’s club he beat over the head the worker, but only | men but women as well. The injunction gives the A.F.L.,) the bosses and: the police the chance | to break up @ur organization, to pro- | hibit us from striking and picketirg, and from getting real union condi- tions for the workers, As members of the revolutionary unions, we pledge ourselves not to be | intimidated or terrorized by the bru- tality of the police, bosses or A-F.L. | gangsters and to spread the fight to | more and more masses of workers. “We call upon all workers to join us on the picket line and to fight fw the right to strike. This can only be dene by a determined, militant struggle, and by mass violation to de- stroy the injunction and Paragraph 600 which is used to imprison and terrorize the workers, “Under the eladership of the Smash the Injunctions Committee of | the TTrade Union Unity Council we will make the next demonstration a bigger and more militant one. ‘Forward to more demonstrations against the injunction! in the fight!” Beat Up In Jail. When being taken to the court the workers arrested were forced to in-| dividually run a gauntlet of police clubbers, with the lights turned out so that they coyld not tell which way to run. Tony Thomas and Sam Santos were particularly badly beaten up in jail. Pickets who had not been hurt at all in the picketing | appeared with cracked heads as a ri " sult of the jail beatings. R.R.

Shows Up Hoover’s Crisis Plan ATLANTA, Nov. 17—The much; boasted “plan” of Hoover to solve the crisis, which failed miserably, is | Now being assailed by the capitalists | themselves. Prof. Irby R. Hudson, of Vanderbilt University, president of the Political ‘Science Association, speaking here at the Southeastern Conference a few days ago said: “Where is there a program offered us? Certainly not in the speech of our president.” He goes on to be- rate “this chief agent of the business man, this efficiency engineer in gov- ernment, this expert in administra- Chicago Jobless Live in Caves and Holes CHICAGO, Nov. 17.—Unemployed workers are resorting to caves around Canal St. to keep from freezing to death. Nearly a hundred men have gathered all the bricks, stone, cement, tin, junk, boards and dirt they could find and constructed temporary holes in which they can starve this winter. ‘The capitalist newpapers are treat- ing the desperation of thesé men as a huge joke. They refer to the dug- outs as a village of homeless men, and take a great deal of pleasure in telling of the “particular care” With which some of the “homes” are made.

Goldin, sn . iT. tion.” * Q | PLEDGETO REDUCE FORCED IN GENEVA | Mees |Litvinoff Compels It; It Will Be Broken | Capitalist news sources show that the League of Nations preliminary | arms conference, attended by a U. S. delegate, was forced yesterday to swallow its spleen against the Soviet | | Union, and accept an important amendment to its statement of pur- pose which Litvinoff, head of the delegation from the Union of Social- ist Soviet Republics, jammed down. The amendment states that it is the aim of the conference to reduce armaments. The imperialist powers had stated it as one of merely lim- | iting armaments. The special correspondence to the | New York Times yesterday states: “Most of the time of the two sessions (Monday) was devoted to | trying to ayoid voting on a Soviet | amendment in the clear-cut fash- ion which Litvinoff wanted.” Hard to Explain! The workers’ delegates insisted, | | and the imperialist delegates did not | | dare to refuse. It would be too hard to explain to the masses at home! | The conference refused to vote on | the amendment alone Monday, but | after thinking it over, had to sur- | render today. It is obvious from comment in the Soviet Union press that neither the} Litvinoff delegation nor the workers "| who sent it to Geneva really expect | the imperialist powers to reduce arm- jaments, All the militarist nations | | are driving ahead to a war against | the Soviet Union, and to other wars | with each other. But they were put! in a most embarrassing position by the U. S. S. R. delegation, and will be further exposed now, when they break their solemn promise to “re- duce armaments.” Litvinoff punctured the ‘Tench | | delegation’s fine words about inter- national junstice. “Though there has been 10 years | of peace, said Lityinoff, “part of | the Soviet fleet is still held in cap- tivity by one of the Great Powers. By what right? They have no right except the right of force.” | | Veseeorion RESTAURANTS | Where the best food and fresh | vegetables are served | all year round 4 WEST 28TH STREET 37 WEST 32ND STREET 225 WEST 36TH STREET We Invite Workers to the BLUE BIRD CAFETERIA GOOD WHOLESOME FOOD Fair Prices A Comfortable Place to Eat 827 BROADWAY Between 12th and 13th Sts.

A demonstration the | day before scared the landlord into leaving the furniture in until yester- day morning. The furniture was put out in the forenoon, and the masses | gathered were willing yesterday to put it back, but Kaplan decided to | move. Before the demonstration began | yesterday, a reporter for the Daily) Worker, walking among the groups of workers and tenants arriving, was | approached by a cop who looked at his credentials, and then announced: “If we start to work out on you fel- lows, you'll be the first one!” 500 Gather. | | With about 500 present, the first meeting got under way at the corner | of Saratoga and Pitkin. The police |drove the crowd across the street, |where another meeting began. | Mounted police tried to overthrow | the platform while a woman worker | was speaking. The crowd prevented them. The meeting was again driven on, started again, and again the crowd prevented the cossacks from overthrowing the platform. They were driven then to Hozel and Pitkin, two blocks away, and conducted an- other meeting there, some 400 of the crowd having followed to take part. The chairman of the meeting, Lena Weinstone, was one who joined the tenants’ league only the day before. She made an excellent speech.

The first meeting was a lively session. Battalions of police cordons surrounded the Sport Palace, where the meeting was held, preventing the- masses of workers from entering. However, enough ob- tained entrance subject the speak- ers to constant interruptions. Occa- sionally tumults prevented the speak- ers from being heard. \ There were cheers for the Soviet Union and singing of the Interna- tionale by the workers. Police with drawn clubs attempted to clear part of the hall of workers. The workers defended themselves with chairs. The police drew their revolvers and a terrible bloodbath was imminent, when officers decided to limit op- erations to clubbing. The translation of the speech of Sir William Harwod was rendered impossible, The meeting closed with the singing of the Internationale, FOSTER AND RILU DELEGATES TONITE NEW YORK.—Tonight at 7 p. m. in Webster Hall William Z.
