The Needle Trades Workers’ Indus- trial Union issued a leaflet calling upon the workers to strike against the wage cut and not to be misled by the Amalgamated fakers. The leaflet was received very favorable. The majority of the workers are ready to fight. A strike may de- velop. ‘The other shop is the Model Pants Company. The conditions in this shop are worse than in any other pants shop in town. The present wage cut is by no means the first. ‘Wages have been cut constantly.

California Police Chief Work for By an Unemployed Worker. HAYWARD, Cal.—Hayward’s fam- ous wocden statue type, Chief of Po- lice Louis Silva (who ordered fire hose turned on the unemployed gathering), has good advice for “tramps” (unemployed workers). He is very hospitable and says: “With summer weather definitely here and with the average tramp able to sleep comfortably on the wide open spaces of Hayward and environs, the jai] will not be a ref- uge for the wanderers. Although there is not an over-abundance of work in the fields and orchards (so we know only too well and Sii< is forced to admit) of the Hayward dis- trict, the average tramp with a de- sire for employment, if fo rno more than a mea! and a night’s lodging, ean find temporary employment, if he looks hard enough.” That is the kind of advice this wooden figure gives us. Suggestion that “tramps” «the unemployed workers) work for practiaed by ranchers around here “Let’s Daily Worker: Last winter the workers of this vil- lage seemed to think that it was just another “hard winter” like so many that are seen in capitalist countries, and that things would pick up in the Spring. But now, as their growl, they are beginning to realize that the Daily Worker is telling the truth while all the capitalist papers are packed with lies. Last winter the workers around here refused to cut ice at 15c. per hour, which forced the bosses to pay 20c, But now, labor here is only getting from 50c. per day without meats up to $1.00 a day with dinner for ten hours. So now the workers aré seeing the need of a fighting or- ganization and political action. Last Sunday I stopped at a farm house to get some water, and the lady remarked on the hard times. Bhe said: “Yes, we've got a young men working here and we're only paying him 60c a day he came here Moscow, Mich, Wash. Lumber Mill Closing; 1500 Workers. : and Families Affected : (By a Worker Correspondent) HOQUIAM, Wash.—More prosper- ity fer the workers in the lumber tills of Washington. From Onalaska, Wash., @ mill town owned by the Carlisle Lumber Co., comes the news that the mill there is to close for two years. This means forever so far as the workers are concerned. No- tice was served on the workers to prepare to vacate by the first of July, as the mill will close and that all water and light will be cut off after that date. 1500 Workers Affected ‘This mill employs some two hun- dred men in the mill and perhaps Portland Workers Pledge to Defend USSR (By a Worker Correspondent) PORTLAND, Oregon.—No! was the enthusiastic response of 400 Port~ land workers to the question: Will we fight against the workers in the Soviet Union, A fitting answer of the Portland workers to the months of terrorism by the police and im- migration department in their efforts to smash the Communist Party and from being cowed into submission the workers are steadily gathering their forces for greater resistance to all capitalist measures of starvation, The meeting, for Alex Noral, who sacgny xeturned from a two years | wan to make us unemployed do— Try Communism, Says Workers Should Meals already and chief Silva’s statement will give impetus to this drive. I have worked on pea picking for $11 per day for 9 hours work and had to buy food and lodging on that. Now} on cherry picking I was offered meals and a cot in the open spaces in re- turn for work. So that is what they nc, expect any wages, but go back to day's of slavery and work for a keep, which the ranchers are offering now. Silva will surely get a medal from Hayward “kulaks” for that. Are we going to give up even the meagre standards of living labor has won through sacrifice for the number of years and sign up as slaves? No. ‘We will organize more strongly into the unemployed council and as we did before when we served our no- tice upon the authorities where they were forced to give some pretense at relief—this time we will make our voices stronger and more effective. The city “fathers” will be forced to consider the demands of hundreds of unemployed here. ” Says Mich.

At the same time yesterday and today have been marked by a rapid increase in arrests and terrorist by the armed forces placed at the dis- posal of the operators by the city, county and state authorities. The Wheeling Register says: “Scores of arrests were made yes- terday about the areas affected by the strike... .” Reports to the dis- trict office of the National Miners’ | Union and the Rank and File Strike Committee place the total number of | arrests at 42 miners and their wives.

A. organizer, urged the men to go back to work and told them that they “could not expect in- creases in wages at once, but condi- tions would improve as the industry regained tis feet.” Frank Sepich, local N. M. U. or- ganizer, was arrested yesterday while peaking at the Elm Grove Mine. A U. M. W. A. organizer then spoke under the protection of the sheriff's forces, Sheriff Yost of Jefferson County has issued a blanket proclamation which in effect declares illegal all Strike or organization meetings of miners and their families. The proc- Jamation says, in part: “Acts of vio- lence and intimidation are being in- cited and encouraged in large part by non-residents of Jefferson County, opposed to the best interests and wel- fare of the law abiding citizens thereof.” “Now, therefore, I, William J. Yost, as sheriff of Jefferson County, Ohio, by the powers invested in me to pre- serve peace, law and order through- out this county, hereby command in the name of the state of Ohio all persons unlawfully or riotously as- sembled to disperse and depart to their several homes or lawful em~ ployment.” The official interpretation of this ezarist ukase is that all. striking miners and N. M. U. organizers are at all times “unlawfully or riotously assembled” and subject to gassing, clubbing and arrest. The pickets at the Glens Run Mine were gassed and clubbed. this morning and one miner is in the hospital, Miners were clubl at the Blaine and three badly injured. Peter Peris, organizer for the N. M.

BAIL REVOKED - FOR WORKE Unemployed Leader Attacked by Court INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., June 21— The State Supreme Court revoked | bail on Luesse, the leader of thé Indiana unemployed in the frame-up contempt case without any justifiea- tion, and took time out to make a vicious attack on the leader of the unemployed who is now serving a three year sentence on the State Farm for fighting an eviction. The court ordered Luesse to be arrested as soon as he is released on appeal in the eviction case which is going to the Supreme Court. The mass sentiment against this vicious jailing is growing. There is already a good response to the Workers Trial entitled “Luesse vs the Capitalist.State” which will be held under the joint auspices of the International Labor Defense and the Unemployed Council, at the workers Center 93242 S.

At the present moment, Judge Hawkins has under advisement the motions of the International Labor Defense for new trials for all of the boys. Grave's statement indicates that Judge Hawkins will rule unfa- vorably on these motions and that the Governor of Alabama will then come forward with the hypocritical gesture of “sparing” the lives of the nine children by sentencing them to a living hell of life imprisonment in the southern prisons.

It is as, | follows: Pittsburgh Terminal strikers, and by all the rest of the 37,000 miners now | jon strike, or the scheme of the gov- | ernor ‘and the operators to break our ‘strike through a scab agreement with | the United Mine Workers of America, {has caused a certain delay in that plan, “Our delegation found when it | veached Harrisburgh that Pinchot, Pursglove and Murray had hidden thelr supposedly public conference | from the representatives of the stri- | kers themselves. The hour of meet- ing was changed and the place of meeting concealed, “Most significant of all, the U. M. W., Pinchot and the operators did not dare, in the face of the mass op- position and repudiation of the U. M. W. by the strikers, to make the scab agreement at this time. “These fakers now see that their attempt just now to break our strike against starvation by an agreement first in the Pittsburgh Terminal mines would be smashed by over- whelming mass picketing. “We know that this strike-breaking plan is only postponed, It will be tried again soon by state or federal “mediators,” which will attempt to use either the U.M.W., or some fake independent union or company un- ion, or all together. Meanwhile, we see in the form in which the break- ing up of the Pinchot-Pursgleve- Murray conference is announced, an attempt to bolster up the damaged reputation of the U. M. W. by repre~ senting it as holding out for a wage raise. The ridiculousness of this at- tempt can be seen by the U. M. W. fake settlement under the direct sponsoring of the president of the Ben Franklin mine at Penna, to form a local of the U. M, W., which John Cinque, sub-district president of the U. M. W. openly pledges not to ask for higher wages. And there are other such settlements and at- tempts of the U. M.
