Their remarks were accepted with a great deal of enthusiasm. Immediately after the general meeting, department meet- ings took place where strike activi- ties were organized and various relief, defense and picket committees were elected. It is expected that produc- tion will be completely crippled within the next few days. ‘The bosses have made desperate attempts to hold the workers back— trying to intimidate them by taking the pictures of the pickets, by trying to hold back the crews from certain departments, etc—but they have failed. The police were mobilized from early in the morning on. Dave Rothman, a member of the Shoe Workers Union, and Louise Morrison of the TUUC, were arrested for dis- tributing the strike call. Their trial wil take place on Thursday of next week. Mass Picket Today Mass picketing will begin this morning.

Prizes already donated by organizations will be the following: @ small bronze statue will be the first team prize and the first second and third ind’ idual prizes will be sets of silverware. A permit to hold this street run on Sunday was refused by the police. ‘This was done in the face of the fact that a bosses’ A. A. U. club in the same section is allowed to hold runs Sundays. This clearly shows that anyone fighting for the freedom of Tom Mooney and the Scottsboro boys as are workers sports movement, the Labor Sports Union and the Counter Olympic Committee of which the L.

A committee of carpenters came to the District Council today to get information on what they should do. | The officialdom told them “if you are | \in a position to bring your bosses | here to negotiate, do so, if you can't, | go to work under any conditions you ) can get.” ‘The work on all important jobs is | tied up with the exception of Radio | City where only non-union structural | iron workers and some excavators are | at work.

The Building Trades Council is at- ; | tempting to get the elevator con- |structors and electricians to accept the 25 per cent wagecut announced |by the bosses and accepted by the Council instead of the approximately 15 per cent wage cut which these two | trades have agreed with their bosses | to accept. Not only are the fakers of the Building Trades Council for a | wage-cut, but they are helping the bosses to the biggest wage-cut. Carpenters and painters working at Gimbel Brothers Deartment Store, 33rd Street and 6th Ave. went on | strike this morning and were imme- diately sentback to work by their union officials without any scale of wages. The carenters are at work while the painters refuse to go to work without conditions. The immediate task confronting the membersh,ip of the various local unions in this struggle against their officials and the bosses, is the calling of special membership meetings which rank and file strike commit- ; tees should be elected to lead the strike and organize mass picketing on the various jobs. ‘The press controlled by the bosses speak of the “vacation” strike, thus trying to discourage the idea of any | real militant mass picketing which alone can stop the wage-cut.
