I—The workers of Samuels Cleanng and Dyeng shop yesterday walked out when the boss fired two. workers. The two workers, members of the Cleaners and Laundry Workers Ind. League, were fired because of ther actvtes n or- ganzng the workers n the shop. The demands of the workers were: re- nstatement of the two workers and recognton of the shop committee. After the workers had been out for about three hours, the boss was forced to gve n to the demands. The. workers of the trade should Jearn from the workers of the Sa- muels shop. At present, the Effrat elque s preparng to call a stoppage n the trade, The fakers are dong so under the excuse that they want to organize the rest of the trade. What these fakers really want to do is ta deliver the workers to the bosses, who are the dues-collecting agents for this clique of the A. F. of L. and the United Hebrew Trades. The fak- ers, while talking of a stoppage, are not even speaking about economic demands. In their lying statements they claim that they have stopped wage-cuts. But the workers in the shops know that this is a lie. These fakers are merely interested in forc- ing workers pay dues to them. " ‘TENANTSIWINEAST SIDE RENT STRIKE Tenant League Formed in Neighborhood TENANTS The strike of the tenants of 334 E. 8th St. called by the Tenants League several weeks ago was won Friday afternoon, July 31st, when the land- lady called the house committee to- gether and offered to reduce the rent by $1, and make all necessary repairs included in the demands of the T. L, At first the landlady tried to make separate terms with each tenant but the tenants stood firm and refused to agree to anything without the com- mittee. As a last resort she called the committee and acceded to most of their demands. Only one tenant, Mrs. Fiasko was evicted. The land- lord held Mrs. Fiasco responsible for the uprising in the house and felt with her out of the picture things would quiet down. During her ab- sence the lock on the door was broken. and the furniture thrown out. The Unemployed Council was called short- ly afterwards and staged a splendid demonstration. The tenants are more determined than ever to enter the League and begin organizational work on the block. All of them have promised not only to keep their own house in or- der but to encourage militancy in other houses on the street, After the victory @ great demonstration was held at 8th Street and Avenue C in which hundreds of workers partici- pated.

He was released on bail when the sentence was appealed. Eight hundred workers of the Doherty Mills who came out in re- sponse to the United Front General Strike Committee on Monday held a meeting this morning on the ques- tion of demands and leadership. The workers have rejected the Associated- A. F. of L. combinations, but are still somewhat under the domination of company agents of the company unions. The workers voted down a suggestion of these leaders to audit the books in order to convince them- selves how poor the boss is. Another meeting tomorrow will probably swing the workers to the N, T. W. AFL, Union Begins Sell-Out- Police threw representatives of this union out of the meeting -this morning, The Associated has an- | nounced that tomorrow their settle- ment begins. This means nothing less than a complete sell-out. The workers have not been consulted, no one knows what is the basis of the} general pro- agreement and the ceedure proved convincingly that the settlement is between the bosses and the top leaders, réached even before the strike began. A few weeks of in- creased wages and shortened hours anl then when the strike is broken all concessions will be | withdrawn and conditions will be worse than ever before. This bold faced attempt at fake settlement will convince the workers once and for all of ,the treacherous character of the A. F. of L. crowd which is now under the leadership of the Gitlow, Zimmer- man and Keller renegades. It will wipe out the U. T.

Perform- ances are continuous and at popu- Jar prices for the first time on Broadway. Reams upon reams have peen written upon the important subject of Russia’s rapid growth, but no comprehensive version of the coun- try’s actual development had here- tofore been filmed. The Soviet Five Year Plan embraces a period from 1928 to 1933, and now, with the half- way mark passed, comes this authen- tic version of its achievements to date. In a graphic and vivid fashion “The Five Year Plan” depicts the creation of a new Russia, showing a primarily agrarian country being transformed into a land of gigantic Steel mills, of super power plants and vast agricultural enterprises, An added attraction on the Cameo Program is the showing of the first Russian cartoon with sound and mu- sie entitled “Mail.” sanitary living conditions in your houses!

At the Strike Committee meeting Tuesday night a committee of nine- teen strikers representing every craft, including the dyers, was elected as a Settlement Committee. No settle- ment will be récognized which is not agreed upon by the workers of the shops. A relief store will be opened at once to provide food for the families of the strikers who cannot eat at the relief kitchen. Strikers are being or- ganized to help in the collection of foodstuff. ‘The demands and price lists have been endorsed by .the strikers and when the Settlement Committee meets, certain detailed adjustments will be made whereupon it will be} mailed to every manufacturer and every shop chairman in the city.
