STRIKE (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONED by the police. The striker who was shot is Arthur Rose, 40, of 22 South Lexington Ave., White Plains. The Musteites, who are busy among the strikers, exposed their treachery yesterday when at a strike meeting called by them they permit- ted Judge Lynch of the Rotary Club to address the strikers with an of- fer of fake arbitration. At the same time they refused the floor to a re- presentative of the Trade Union Unity League. When the strikers turned down a proposal of the con- tractors ofr $5 for a ten-hour day, and no recognition of the union, Judge. Lynch opened a vicious at- tack on them, declaring that the offer was “fair” and the strikers should accept it. The men are striking for the. eight hour day, $5 a day, and recognition of the union.

New York Workers Plan Tag Day to Send Miners Relief NEW YORK--The miners of Penn- sylvania, Ohio and West Virginia aré fighting one of the most heroic bat- tles that workers have fought in this country. Facing the terror of the coal operators, Governor Pinchot and the scab leaders of the United Mine Workers, Lewis, Fagan and Co., bat- tling against machine guns, tear gas and the most ferocious attacks of the state troopers, deputy sheriffs and company guards, they are fighting on. These miners will not stop until they achieve victory. ‘The 45,000 miners and their fam- ilies are fighting against ‘starvation. They need food, shoes, milk for their babies. The men cannot go on the picket lines without food in their stomachs, without shoes on their feet. Their wives and daughters, who go on the picket lines, cannot fight against the blood terror, with- out food in their stomachs. They have been evicted from the com- pany-owned houses and whole fam- ilies are sleeping up in the hills. They need tents immediately. New York workers know what solidarity means. They have con- ducted many bitter struggles them- selves and will conduct many more. What is to be done? Every class- conscious worker, every worker suf- fering from the greed of the bosses must stand by the miners by, 1, col- lecting money, food and clothing; 2, taking up the issue in his organ- ization and shop to get donations; 3, raising funds for milk for the bahies in the coal fields. But, above all, all workers, men and women, Negro and white, young and adult, must be out for the Tag Days on Saturday and Sunday, July 25-26, collecting funds for the min- ers. Make these tag days the rousing answer of New York workers to the brutal attacks on the miners and their. families. Food, food, food, money and tents! The miners want to carry on; they are ready to con- tinue the battle—but they must eat. New York workers, you must help your brothers and sisters in the coal fields, so that the fight may lead to victory. at CAMP the War Danger DAILY WORKER FREIHEIT WEEK CAMP WOCOLONA CAMP KINDERLAND UNUSUAL EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM WEEK—— from July 13th to 20th NEWSPAPER—Arranged by the WORKER” and “FREIHEIT” Staffs PAGAENTS—A Satirical Play About the Capitalist Press Pen Prostitutes “DAILY LECTURE—The Role of the Communist Press and JOHN REED CLUB MEMBERS—Will Draw Pictures « REVOLUTIONARY PLAY—A New Play Especially Written for This Week Only $17 a week for each visitor.

The best foods to collect are dry, staple foods, such as flour, beans, peas, cereals, canned goods, espe- cially canned milk.

[Anti-War Committee Meets Tonight Many organizations of Brownsville have answered the call for an anti- war conference issued jointly by the Communist Party, the Trade Union Unity League and the Friends of the Soviet’ Union. The conference will be held tonight, Thursday 16, at 1844 Pitkin Avenue. All workers are call- ed upon to come as individual re- presentatives of their house or shop so that they will be able to organize into a united front against war. United Front Anti-War Committee SHOE WORKERS REJECT CUT Bosses Fail Get Seabs Into Shop When the shoe workers in the Glenmore Shoe Co., 221-223 Powell Street, Brooklyn, rejected the boss's offer for a wage cut, the Glenmore Shoe Co. bosses tried to scare the workers, informing them that the company is cutting production and will need only half of the crew. This is the monauvers of the bos- ses to get rid of some workers whom. they accuse as “trouble makers,” in order to be able to put over wage cuts on the workers. The workers in the shop who are members of the Shoe and Leather Workers Industrial Union demanded that all work in the shop be divided equally among the workers in the shop and that there should be no discrimination against any workers. The bosses locked-out the workers and the workers immediately, under the leadership of the Shoe and Lea- ther Workers Industrial Union, de- clared a strike in the shop. The shop is picketed by the workers since yes~ terday, July 14, 1931. Tha@ bosses tried to get scabs but did not suc~ ceed in getting any. All the shoe workers especially in that neighbor- hood must come to the aid of the workers in the Glenmore shop: i their struggle. N. Show “Children of _ the New Day” Fri.
