Siegel Si oe é ¥ BITE A DELIGHT Miles for Vet Aid Joseph Alkire and His Mother, Minda Alkire Son Gassed in War Never Had Disability Aid; Gets Pneumonia Every Winter NEW YORK.—Joseph Alkire, of Denver, Colorado, arrived in New York Monday after hitch-hiking 3000 miles with his 75-year old mother to see a doctor here about his veterans’ disabilty allowance, whch he had never re- ceived. Most of the time they managed to get a bed to sleep in, but twice he and his mother had to sleep in a jail@ and once they slept in the open. Joseph was dressed in his much mended overseas army uniform; the wrinkled aged mother looked like a quaint picture out of the past, with her black old fashioned skirt and old velvet jacket pinned at the throat with a safety pin. Mrs. Minda Alkire has to use a cane, because two years ago the two of them had hitch-hiked to an Amer- ican Legion Convention and as a re- sult of two different automobile ac- cidents her hips and legs had been injured. Joseph wanted to get hold of this doctor. But the cane wasn’t going to stop the aged mother from going along with her byy to New York. She car- ried part o: their belongings in two packs, one of them slung over her slim shoulders, the other under her arm. The amazing thing is how this frail little mother could carry both these heavy packs. Joseph, a lean six footer with hol- low cheeks had been gassed in France during the war. “I ain’t never missed a winter haying pneumonia since I came out of the army,” he said, “and if I ain’t entitled to some disability allowance, why then Commander Byrd ain't entitled to his $200,000} for his broken ankle.” Major Babcock was commander of his outfit, the 310th Infantry. If through him he could get hold of then he believes his long journey would be justified. The affidavits would prove his disabilities. And it was necessary to make this long journey, because they couldn't exist in Denver. “I haven't had a steady job in all the years since I got out of the army,” he pointed out, “and I've worked at everything a man can work at.” He was a farm super- visor when the United States entered the war. “The last job I had was chopping wood for 50 cents a day in Oklahoma. I worked at it from as soon as I could see till it was dark and I couldn't see any more. Members of Post 191 of the W.E. S. L. who are going to have an af- fair to raise money for them, found them resting in Union Square Park and brought them up to the Daily Worker office. Joseph was asked what he would do if he couldn’t get any veteran com- ensation. “Listen,” he said bel- ligerently, “I’m a poor quitter; I'll just pester them guys till they come across.” “Would he join the fighting W. E. 8. L. if he can’t win out by himself?” “I ain’t against joining the organi- zation in advance of that,” came the ready answer. “Because if they are fighting for the good of the ex- serviceman, my being a vet would mean I could join right now.” el vith eid deeded tedededetebbebeb deeb bebo bebdedbebeobbobbdedodeds WHERE YOUR NIC PURE OPEN DAY LEEELELELE EEL EL EEE LE ED EEE E EE PEL PL fo Bop fo Bf fsfesp Boho fos ingston TAT SS een BUY THE MOST AT PROLETARIAN PRICES KING’S BEER ON DRAUGHT Grand Opening | TODAY SEPTEMBER 7th | Meet Your Comrades at the ALE RAIL BAR AND GRILL 106 East 14th Street’ Between Fourth Avenue and Irving Place KELS AND DIMES FOOD and NIGHT Elections—How They Affect Work- ers,” will be the subject of a lecture Friday night at 8:30 p.m. by Robert Minor, Communist candidate for Mayor, at the Brownsville Youth Center, 105 Thatford Ave., in Brook- ‘lyn.

Pickets must include all of the strikers. And the strikers must bring in their families to participate in the picket line. They must also go out in an organized way and round up the neighbors, men, women and youths, as volunteer helpers in the picket line. It must be a mass picket line. “But the most necessary thing is to call on the Unemployed Council to come as an organized body to Picket. This will not only strengthen | your forces in numbers but will also) serve as a token of the solidarity be- tween employed and unemployed. | The organized unemployed are the very best assistance in picketing,” he continued. During Minor’s speech, a repre- sentative of the Frame-Makers | per cent of the wages of the 400 workers as aid to the Progressive strikers, Minor pointed out that it is neces- sary to explain clearly to many fur- niture workers who have not much experience in this sort of struggle that it is absolutely necessary to vio- late the injunction openly and pur- posely before the eyes of the whole world, To surrender to the injunction is to surrender the whole fight and to go back to the miserable starva- | tion wages under worse conditions. “Don’t be afraid of getting into jail @ little,” he said. “It won't hurt you and if the mass picket line stands! | firm we can get everybody out they | put in, One thing is necessary. If some are arrested, we must be or- ganized to rush in and take their Places, There must always be a bunch ready to step in in the most disci-| plined way,” Minor concluded. The strikers pledged themselves on their honor to stick together and not to return to work except by agree-/| | ment altogether. A vote of thanks | to the frame-makers was’ passed and the meeting adjourned to allow the strike committee to hold @ session to recommend organized plans for a mass picket today.

Union Defea ts Injunction at Chatham Shoe Shop Protest Eleo Arrests at Big Meet Tonight; Case Up for H earing Friday NEW YORK.—The strength of the solid ranks of the 7,000 shoe strikers in New York City made itself felt yesterday when an injunciion applied for by the Chatham Shoe Co., formerly the Paris Shoe Shop, was denied tu the company in the courts. The Paris shop, against which the Shoe and Leather Workers’ Indus- trial Union waged an energetic battle last year, moved to New York from rooklyn and changed its name to the Chatham Shop in an effort to keep the shop from being unionized. | But the workers discovered the ruse and declared a strike. The Chatham bosses rushed des- perately to Whalen’s office, put up the Blue Eagle and when, finally, these steps did not help them, sought an injunction against the union. This was defeated by the vigorous protests of the union and the sworn affida- vits of many strikers baring the sweatshop conditions. Shoe strikers wiil gather to protest against the Whalen NRA attar¢ks on the shoe strike and against the in- junction issued to the Elco shops | at a huge mass meeting scheduled for Thursday night at Arcadia Hall, Brooklyn. The meeting will also re- cord its emphatic opposition to the bosses’ shoe code, to be heard on} Sept. 12, which calls for 37 cents an hour for the skilled shoe workers and 30 cents an hour for women doing the same work. Preparations for the | coming big Madison Square Garden protest meeting against the violation of the supposed rights of the workers to organize under the NRA will also be made at the meeting. The hearing on the case of the six Elco shoe pickets arrested at Grover Whalen’s order to break the shoe strike will be held at the Gates Ave. Court, Brooklyn, on Friday morning, Sept. 8. The bosses are expected to charge the pickets with disorderly conduct. The union is determined to take these frame-up charges to the highest courts if necessary and will mobilize mass sentiment to de- feat the intentions of Whalen and the shoe bosses, Shoe Doak ‘Strike!

The demands of the workers are: Union wage scale, no work af- ter 7 p. m., No discrimination, A 40-hour week, recognition of their union, equal pay for all work. Bosses desiring to enter into an agreement with the Union, with- out interruption of work, have have been advised to communicate with the Strike Settlement Com- mittee, phone ALgonuin 4-9641. All workers should march to Irving Plaza, Irving Place and 1th Street. Workers are urged to support this strike. Do not pa- tronize those neighborhood shops wuieh are on strike, the union asks. Lawyers Map Court Fight ior ‘Terzani Conference for Framed Anti-Fascist NEW YORK.—Plans for the legal defense of Athos Terzani, young anti-Fascist accused of killing his eomrade, Anthony Fierro, in a fight which broke up a meeting of the Fascist Khaki Shirts in Astoria, were outlined yesterday afternoon by five attorneys who met tn the office of Arthur Garfield Hays, 43 Exchange Place.

Since they signed with the NRA, conditions jn the Willow Cafeteria have become worse. To offset in- creased wages there were many lay- offs, At the same time there were many deductions from the stipulated wages, It was because he questioned these conditions that the worker was discharged. | Following soon on the sympathy strike, the bosses brought in a scab crew, bagked up by several auomobile- loads of bluecoats, ready to shield the strike-breakers, Workers demonstrated at the cafeteria incensed by the failure of the NRA to meke the boss live up to the agreement. They tried to re- move the NRA sign. But the “guard- jans of law and order” swung their clubs threateningly, and protected the Willow bosses. 700 Girl Workers in Flower Shop Out on Strike for $14 Wage NEW YORK, Sept, 6.—Seven hun-| dred workers of the Kaplan Co., manufacture-s of artificial flowers, at 45 W. 18th St., came out on strike today. The strikers, mainly young girls, are demanding a minimum wage of $14 and a 25 per cent in- crease for those receiving more than that now. A 40-hour week and rec- ognition of the shop committee also | figure among their demands. At present the average wage of the girls is between $5 and $9. Workers employed at Kaplan’s for the past eleven years are not getting more than $8. ‘The workers met at 4 W. 18th St. today and elected a strike commit- tee to represent them in negotiations with the bosses, |“Daily” Volunteers | To Hold Executive Board Meet Tonight NEW YORK.—In with “ae Daly Work: the pledge of the er Volunteers to raise $5,000, the Executive Committee has decided to work out a plan of activities at its next meeting, to be held at 8 p:m., at 35 East a Street. ‘omorrow night there will be a membership meeting combinec with a lecture on the N.

Do the comrade editors think they can achieve their goal of 750 new sub- scribers in two and a half months on the basis of a few carelessly written announcements set up in type?
