PERENCE TO WIN STRIKE maintained according to the agree- ments Passaic Pushes Relief. All workers who have colectea money in their relief collection boxes should turn them in immediately to the headquarters of the Workers In- ternational Relief since the money 1s urgently needed for the relief of the strikers and their families. The need for relief has grown as the strike has progressed and the collec~ tion activities must be intensied. At the rst meeting of the Passaic relief committee assignments were made for the members of the committee to visit every workers’ organization in the city in the collection of relief. The Passaic committee is planning a series of affairs where admission will be charged in the form of cannéd goods instead of money. The Pas- saic workers are determined to help the Paterson strikers just as the Pat- erson workers helped the Passaic strikers in 1926. The WIR urges all workers’ organizations in New Jersey to organize WIR relief committees in order to conduct an intensive drive for food, money and clothing. All relief collected should be sent immediately to the WIR headquar- ters at 49 Ellison Stret, Paterson, TRY TO DEPORT 4 MARINE WORKERS Workers To Protest In k this organizer has 1 of the shops and were being ing the past wee ked up on found that conditions Court Today NGEL MILLINERS' OUT ON STRIKE .y Union Tries To Sell Out C m of the 'y trade in the ngel, 45 W. 29th hep which receive very low , the firm prac- der to divide ks of the workers. hip o* the Indus- nittee was or- the workers would not con- s the bosses and the jared on strike.

Wickman and Jacobson— who were arrested Wednesday after- noon in Hoboken for distributing lea- flets exposing the treachery of the International Longshoremen’s Asso- strike were arraigned here yesterday in court and were bound over for in- vestigation by the mimigration offis. cials, The four workers were arrested on a warrant sworn out by business agent Nolan of the L.L.A., who played a leading role in the selling out of longshoremen’s strike at the Holland docks last week when eight hundred longshoremen walked out on strike against the will of the A. F. of L. officials. McCreary, the mayor of Hoboken and one of the leaders of the inner circle of the Hoboken booze and graft ring, told the longshoremen last week that he was their friend. McCreary, however, is supporting the LL.A. in its drive against the long- shoremen and is also behind the move to deport the militant work- ers, three of whom were born in the United States, The Marine Workers Industrial Union calls on all seamen and long- shoremen to come to the Recorder's Chambers in Hoboken this morning at 9 o'clock to protest’ against the attempt of the bosses and their agents to railroad the jailed workers. —_——_ TWO DRESS SHOPS SETTLE WITH THE UNION Two settlements were concluded today in dress shops that have been on strike for the past couple of days.

STRIKE FOR FREE FARE Parents Cannot Pay Fare; Work Part Time in Mills PITTSBURGH, Pa., Sept. 3.—Two hundred school children of Hays Borough of Pittsburgh, students in the Gladstone Junior High School, are on strike, Formerly this school paid the fare, two car checks each way, on a special car which was run for the children. Two car checks is sixteen and two-thirds cents and the trip both ways is double that. This year the school board arbitrarily de- cided to pay only half the fare. The parents of these students work in the steel mill at Hays, which this year has been running only one or two days a week. They are des- perately poor and simply cannot stand the added burden of car fares. ‘Wednesday the pupils boarded the special cars and rode to the end of the first fare. Then, when they te- fused to pay more, the special offi- cers of the school board and the con- ductors threw them off. They marched back to Hays in the pouring rain and organized a mili- tant. demonstration with signs read- ing: “No fares—no. school!” etc. Some signs called attention ‘to the reason their families could not pay the fares: “No work—No money—No fares—-NO SCHOOL.” Members of the Young Communist League are trying to get the children together for a meeting. The school authorities threaten to have the pa- rents arrested. under the truancy law. 3 Committee for the Protection of the Foreign Born EXCURSION To HOOK MOUNTAIN On the ‘Steamer MIRAMAR Sunday, Sept. 6, 1931 Musical Program ‘and Dancing on the Boat Boat Leaves from the Battery Pier TICKETS $1.25 A.N.B. at 9 a. m. “SEROY™ 657 Allerton Avenue Estabrook 3216 BRONX, N. ¥.
