The boss is the brother-in-law of the two discharged workers. The slugging of Louis took place | while he was on the route Monday | morning, at Enwood Place and Wal-| ton Ave., Bronx. A gangster clubbed him with a lead pipe, and 20 stitches | | had to be taken in his head at Mor- risania Hospital. The boss came up| to the hospital to “warn” him. When he went back to the laundry he was fired. His brother asked why, and he got fired. A shop meeting sent a committee to demand the reinstate- ment of the two workers, was refused, and picketing started. When Louis and Julius Schribman tried to speak in front of the laundry, they were arrested. Picketing is going on. | “We are the only workers in New | York who still work under a chattel | slavery contract,” says the Organiza- |tion Committee of the Laundry Workers’ Union, in a call to all in | that industry to organize in the shops | and elect delegates to the conference | | DAILY WORKER, NEW YORK, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1931 THE ADVENTURES 0 F BILL WORKER [BACK Faom THE WAR, Ueno tong Fe eee Lae U.S 1931 f 4 ( Ex “Seovcs M W, = The’ ard Big’ Barada: SE: ADES Uy nf se By RYAN WALKER ILD IN FIGHT ON COURT EVICTION Arrest Workers Re- | |Many.

But the Unemployed Council was on the job and with the help of workers in the neighborhood, their furniture was | put back. On Tuesday the landlord | appeared with a police officer and three strong-arm men. Though they had no dispossess, they tried to throw | the family out forcibly onto the/| street. Bardoulas and his wife re- sisted vigorously and the entire fam- | ily was arrested, Bardoulas being} charged with disorderly conduct and | his wife with felonious assault. | At the hearing of Bardoulas in| Night Court, 314 W. 54th St., Jacques Buitenkant, attorney for the I.

He revealed that Tammany's Unem- | ployment Relief Commission had Promised to send $25 to pay the rent of the Bardoulas family, but it had | been only another one of Tammany’s promises.
