The fourth drive week, just past, shows a net loss of 116 subscribers for the Monday to Fri- day edition and 161 for the Sat- urday. edition. Only seven Districts produced a} net gain in subscribers during the | seven days ending July 16. These | were Districts 4, 13, 15, 16, 18, 20) and 25. These slight advances, however, failed utterly to check the downward trend of subscriptions | since the drive started.

This bureau was informed that th Department of Justice, possibly, | co-operating, but that the chief re- sponsibility is with the Department of Labor.

There was visible evidence that those left at home while Johnson and the troops do the dirty work are aware that this policy to meet the crisis will cost a lot in the coming elections.

The 100,000 on strike in San Francisco were joined by 27,000 union men of Alameda, Oakland and Berkeley across the bay. Pressure of rank and file members on American Federation of La- bor officials was also growihg in Seattle, where workers seem determined to join the general strike. The killing of three longshoremen in Houston, Texas, has intensified the strike situation there and in other gulf ports where the workers are holding out for recognition of their union. * In Portland the members of 85 unions which have already voted for general strike chafed under the delays caused by Senator Robert Wagner's efforts to prevent the strike from going into effect, A picket line of 1,000 strikers in Seattle ropelled a gas attack by police who were protecting nine ships being loaded by scabs. Sentiment for sympathetic strike action was reported growing among 25,000 Boston and New York maritime workers..

The strike involves 1,500 work- leaders of the maritime trades, have | all issued statements against the proposal. - It was adopted by a vote of 207 to 180. This narrow margin was secured by mustering delegates from small and indecisive unions not connected directly with the waterfront. The passage of the resolution, however, has laid the basis for further strike- breaking maneuvering among the uptown crafts. The resolution is interpreted’ by the industrial association as a sign of the weakening of the general strike, and Boynton, its managing director, this morning is demand- ing unconditional surrender. This statement says: “Let the unions go back to work, then talk about arbitration,” and T, G. Plant, head of the Waterfront Employers As- sociation, also now repudiates the former stand of his organization for arbitration—the stand taken when it seemed good tactics for the employers.

Boiler Makers For Strike Earlier in the day, the boiler- makers in Seattle had voted, 222 against 44, in favor of a general strike, The cereal wotkers were ready to strike and the machinists were prepared to vote on the strike. The reactionary leadership of the Central Labor Union, which has not met for two weeks, issued a state- ment against a general strike. The rank and file workers had forced the strike committee to call a mass meeting at the Civic Auditorium on July 17, at which 4,000 were pres- ent. But the leadership avoided the the Central Labor Council in their true anti-working class roles. Im- gamble—so was he? Magnanimousiy he made them this offer: $22.50 a week if the yacht loses, $32 a week if she wins. When the men re fused this, he offered $27.50 a week if the Endeavour lost and $32.50 a week if he won. But the men fe= fused again. Mr. Sopwith there- upon excoriated them for what they were.

This movement, called for the purpose of planning an organized fight against discrimination against Negroes and other minority groups, arises out of a struggle against Jim-Crowism now being waged around 1636-40 University: Avenue, Bronx.
