Y., June 12.— Three packinghouse strikers were framed up on charges of assault yesterday following the mass resent- | ment against the use of armored | cars to convey scabs into the plant. Two-thirds of the city police have been ordered to be ready for emer- gency duty as the refrigerating en- gineers prepare to join the strike. The rank and file strikers have been warned by the relief workers against so-called arbitration. | A fourth police frame-up oc-| curred when 50 truck drivers and chauffeurs at the big department store, Sibley, Lindsay and Curr, } struck Saturday night for union | recognition of the Teamsters, Chauffeurs and Drivers Local.

Hosiery Union Delegates Fight For Strike Call Demand Socialist Rieve Refer Settlements to Membership READING, Pa., June 12—A revolt against the policy of the Socialist, Emil Rieve, president of the Amer- ican Federation of Hosiery Workers. of collaboration with the Hosiery Code Authority, the N.R.A. and hosiery bosses, was indicated today at the union's convention here, when delegates demanded the pass age of a resolution calling for a strike in August for a thirty-three and one-third per cent wage in- crease, and taking the power to make settlements out of the hands | of the executive board. Rieve called this resolution “silly” when it was introduced. This stirred the anger of many delegates, in the face of the wage cuts that Rieve | had previously put over and in the face of the way he had broken the militant Reading strike by telling the workers to rely on N.R.A. prom- ises and signing away their future right to strike. Otto Loebe, a Philadelphia dele- gate, declared the resolution was a to Washington that the workers in the industry were not joking; that we are not going to be kidded along any longer.” Form Committee to Oust Osip Wolinsky NEW YORK —Socialists and Communists, workers of all shades of political opinion in the Pocket- | book Workers’ Union, have united| With a rupture. Given a heavy load | their forces against the appoint-| he was shoved while descending ment of Osip Wolinsky as the “ad-/| visor” of the union. | The various groups in the union) —Progressives, the Leather Work- | ers’ Society, the Rank and File| Committee and the Socialist League | —realizing the dangerous position into which the union was placed through the appointment of Wolin- sky, who was condemned by the en-| tire labor movement as a traitor to| the working class, held a confer-| ence, where they united their forces | through the formation of a United | Anti-Wolinsky Committee. The purpose of the committee, according to an official statement | issued yesterday, is: “(1) To conduct a united strug- gle against Wolinsky and his poli- cies, not to permit him to estab- lish a reign of Hitlerism in our union, and to see to it that our | union should get rid of Wolinsky | as quickly as possible. | “(2) To clean out from our administration all dishonest and irresponsible elements wh o dragged down our union into the Wolinsky-mire and put it to shame and scorn of the entire labor movement. “(3) To create such a united force in our union, which should be able to defeat the harmful elements and to establish an ad- ministration which will serve the interest of all our members. “At the same time we pledge ourselves to help with all our power to resist the attacks of our | bosses and to fight for our de- mands both in New York and ‘out-of-town.’” The committee has issued an ap- peal to all class-conscious members of the union “not to allow them- selyes to be terrorized by our ad- | ministration, but with courage and | determination to conduct a fight for | a clean, honest, fighting union,” Roosevelt In } Meet To Draft New Bill (Continued from Page 1) some other strategy, such as calling union leadérs to the White House, may be successful in thwarting the President Roosevelt cleared his desk at 2:30 today to receive the fol- lowing: Secretary of Labor Frances Per- kins; Chairman Wagner of the Na- tional Labor Board; Senator Rob- insom of Arkansas, Democratic leader in the Senate; Representa- tive Joseph Byrnes of Tennessee, Democratic leader in the House; Donald Richberg, chief lawyer of the N. R. A., and Joseph Wyzanski, solicitor of the Labor Department. The secret conference was still in session two hours after it began. Although all officiat sources with- held comment, it was generally re- ported that the measure under con- sideration is one to declare a broad principle of arbitration in labor dis- putes — something less controver- sial” than the Wagner Labor Dis- putes and the Wagner Industrial Adjustment bills, in othér words, something calling for arbitration without demagogic trimmings again promising protection of collective bargaining and union recognition. Johnson strongly indicated this today when he was asked whether it would be logical to suppose Presi- dent Roosevelt might propose to make good his recent promise to hold “elections” in steél. Johnson said: “As far as the law now stands, a tender of elections is just a tender of good offices—there is no statu- tory authority for elections.” In other words, the government in Johnson's view can only promise “good offices.” Nobody expects the law to be strengthened with respact to the Promise of collective bargaininz— |S} and Sixth Ave, and for Friday. that would meke it more instead of less Anemia is urgently | ‘Tighe Drops All Gutters of New York | whe Plate THE ABSENT-MINDED COP WHO “THOUGHT HE WAS AT A RELIEF DEMONSTRATION Grounds.”—-NEWS ITEM. by del “Police will participate in a baseball game at the Polo Cops’ Terror Shown Agains Workers Who Demand Bread The treatment a worker who dem- onstrates for bread may expect is shown by the case of Harry Vesere | who with 14 others was arrested on | April 27 at the Home Relief Bureau.

When after hours of work in the steaming kit- chen he fainted and was put in| solitary confinement.

Main Demands (Continued from Page 1) “in passing along the streets to and fro.” MeNair said: “No great issues are | involved,” in condemning the strike. A marked increase 1s shown in employment figures in the mills this week, as the companies are hiring strikebreakers already, These strikebreaking measures are openly admitted. The mills around Pitts- burgh are constructing bunks inside the plant and storing tear gas. Company police are increased in number and searchlights have been installed, These open terroristic measures are characterized by to- day’s Pittsburgh Press as follows: “Mill owners continued their pre- cautions against possible sabotage.” This includes heavy barbed wiring of plants. . Weirton Steel Co. Fires Men to Bar Strike WEIRTON, W. Va.— Desperate and brutal measures to head off a strike are being taken by the Weir- ton Steel Co. which has already fired 116 men who said they would stand by the union if a strike came. Foremen on all turns approached the men, asking, “In case of trouble or a strike, are you going to work or quit?” A record was kept thus: If one answered, “I am going to work.” he was checked off as voting against the strike and in favor of the company union. “And if you said you would stay out they im- médiately told you you had worked your last day for Weirton steel,” the workers report. The bosses insisted on an answer, La Guardia-O'Ryan Launch Violence. At Workers of NY. (Continued from Page 1) | clear that the wrath of the city gov- ernment has fallen most bestially | and indiscriminately on all workers | who fight for their elementary | rights, This violence was long ago pre- dicted by the Daily Worker as part of the Fusion administration's basic policy. An indication of what was to come in the line of police sup- pression was to be seen less than @ month and a half after LaGuar- dia became Mayor. It was on Feb. 14 that the New York Times re- ported that: ~ “Plans for a complete reorgan- {zation of the administrative and executive functions of the police department along the lines of the general staff organization of the army were announced yesterday | by Police Commissioner O’Ryan.” | Today, when the bloody results| of this reorganization are known to all New York workers, when it be- comes clear that LaGuardia and his associates will stop at nothing to victimize fhe masses of this city in the interests of his Wall Street banker-masters, it is more than ever before necessary for these bru- talities to be traced and exposed at their cold-blooded source, City Hall. They should be brought before the masses of workers and unem- ployed not as momentary and occa- sional lapses, which is the impres- sion that the metropolitan press seeks to convey to its readers, but as a consistent, and open policy of the present administration—a pol- icy which is the logical outcome of all demagogic “progressive” polit- ical groups such as the one which LaGuardia, by the grace of Wall Street, officially heads. Plan to Extend Boston Truck Drivers’ Strike BOSTON (F.P.).—The strike of truck drivers against the H.P. Welch Transportation Co. of Boston and Somerville will be extended to any other concerns handling the firm’s business, the Truck Drivers’ Union Says. Police were detailed to guard the firm's warehouse, garage and of- fices. Company officials said their drivers were pulled from trucks, gagged him and put him in a car. They drove him out 15 miles and then gave him a severe beating, cut his clothes off and left him in a field. He came to about 6 a.m. and walked to a farmhouse. The yes or no, and the men, not want- ing to quit their work, were forced to say yes. The company record shows 95 per cent will remain at work in case of trouble, This would be reversed under fair methods, the men say. Union Members Beaten Pete Gregos, a member of the Amalgamated Association of Iron, Steel and Tin Workers, went to work at 4 am. and the foreman, Charles Eddy, asked him if he was going to work in case of trouble. Pete said, “No.” Eddie said, “You won't be around here long.

In the days when Jimmy was the mandarin-in-chiet | of the City of New York, the yacht | ed to be puffed up as hot | tions and the philosophers | who covered them for the news-| papers used to toil over their color. | But on Saturday last, two boats, | the Rainbow and the Yankee, long | may they sail, split their mainsails | —sails which were veterans of the | 1931 campaign—and not a frenzy | was worked up in the newspapers. | This is the sting of death!” ware IR THOMAS’ greatest joy in life, | as he said, came in 1931, when | loving cup in token of his! superhuman sportsmanship was | presented to him by none other than that high-type statesman, | Jimmy. “We give it to you,” said | the honest Jimmy, “because we love | you.” The horny-handed sons of | toil who write the sports columns | for the newspapers jumped into | the air three times each, and then | laid themselves down on the floor and bawled with sentiment. Six| thousand dollars in pennies and in| more substantial coin was reputed to | have been collected -to fashion a| piece of silverware for the man who simple souls who write the sports columns had worked hardest in This is the anniversary, as I say, of the days when I used to go wad- | ing after the Lipton challengers and sentiment has crept into my| bones. I feel that I ought to erect a little monument, myself, to the man who always lost with a smile. | T always feel sentimental when a racket is bust, and Sir Thomas had | a racket which was one of the most successsful ever engaged in by | any man who ever robbed a worker, | with a smile, Jimmy also lost with @ smile, but poor Jimmy has not een rewarded with any cup. This is because Jimmy is a night-club boy and never advertised in the newspapers, I have always doubted the validity of that six thousand bucks. Stamp me as one who does not cherish the traditions | of our country, if you will, but | I have always thought that there | must have been a little subtle work at the crossroads to make that | collection. Indeed I have heard reports that the six thousand dol- lars came from Sir Thomas him- self, may the thought perish! Sir ® ‘homas Lipton, the man who al- ways lost with a smile, buy him- self a silver loving cup as a re- ward for his having always lost with a smile! 0, Jimmy, Jimmy, what has happened to the cherished traditions of our coun- try? IN CERTAIN periods of depression, I have believed even that the constituents of the sports page ex- perts never pay attention to what is experted about the yacht races, These optimistic souls, I know, are capable of swallowing anything, but there are two sports, I believe, with which they are utterly out of any- thing but passing glances; and these are yacht racing and polo. I have never seen the emblems of one muck-a-muck or ®nother «in these sports on the lapel of any man. They are sports only for the descendants of those crowned with Mayflowerhood. To the forgotten man they can be of as much ser- vice as ar arbitration board or Sunny Roosevelt's smile. When Sir Thomas was losing with a smile and filling the news- papers with his tea ads, his chal lenges were considered front page stuff. Every time Sir Thomas came over a special press chorus used to meet him with hallelujas. But Sir Thomas was a dog for publicity; and the Tuxedo Park and Newport crowd extends itself only in the matter of divorces. They ara evidently not subject to heartburn if the profanum vulgus doesn’t follow their sporting exploits with bated breaths; and the newspapers give them only conservative chron« icles, There is not a name among them, anyhow, which has been played up to any lustre. So that is why, comrades, the racket of Sir Thomas who used to lose with a smile is now in the limbo, Baseball AMERICAN LEAGUE Detroit 000 004 000-4 8 @ Boston 000 002 000-2 7 1 Bridges and Cochrane; Rhodes, Pennock and R.
