Courtney States Attorney for Cook County, of which Chicago is the major part Courtney's attacks on the labor moy ent have not only been aimed at the Communist Party and the militant trade unions affilated with the Trade Union Unity League but have included many unions of the American Federation of Labor. The local Chicago Federation and the Illinois Federation are both cooper- ating with the Civil Liberties com- mittee here to expose and combat | the attacks of Courtney's upon labor. First Attacked Teamsters Starting six months ago by breaking up lawful indoor meetings of a local of the Chicago Teamsters Council, which seceded from the office International Brotherhood of Team- | sSters and Chauffeurs long ago, Courtney has now turned his at- tention to locals within the Ameri- ean Federation of Labor. The list grows longer week by week. List of Attacks Affidavits gathered by a special committee of the Chicago Federa- tion, which will present its report at the Sept. 16 meeting, show the following outrages: 1. The prosecutor’s specially detailed police regularly break up picket lines of Bakers’ Local 62 around Kroger-Consumer stores, holding the pickets until the stores have closed for the day and then letting the arrested pickets go without any charges. against them. This paralyzes picketing though picketing is legal. Union Leaders Beaten 2. Union officials are hauled down to the state’s attorney’s of- fice where they are threatened bodily harm and actually punch- ed and kicked around. They are further told they might as well fold up as their union won't be allowed to operate further. 3. Complaints brought to the prosecutor under the state N.R.A. law are “taken under advise- ment” if the complainant is a labor organization. 4. Courtney, without warrant ahd without other justification, raids A. F. of L. union offices, arresting union officers, breaking into desks, carting away records —and then letting the men and records go without charge. Six Unions Assaiied Unions suffering from Courtney's official lawbreaking and from sim- flar action by Chicago police already include, among A. F. of L. locals alone, the vupholsterers, bakers, weil bartenders, janitors and aneous hotel workers. District 8 of the Communist Party, the headquarters city of which is Chicago, has issued a statement urging a united front of all forces in the labor move- ment to combat the growing ter- rorism against the workers.

The Communist Party yesterday | issued a leaflet warning the workers against arbitration and demanding broad democraticaliy elected com- | mittees as against the policy of the |U. T. W. leaders.

The Communist Party is issuing a leaflet calling upon all silk workers to attend the meeting to prevent any maneuvers to place the strike in the hands of the Roosevelt me- diation board, and to demand the election of a broad rank and file strike committee, against individual settlements and for the strengthen- ing of the strike untill all the de- mands of the national convention re met, the Communist Party on Tuesday to explain in detail the Communist proposals to win this strike. Converters Join in Shamokin (Special to the Daily Worker) SHAMOKIN, Pa., Sept. 5.— The | strike in the Hagle Silk Mill here is 100 per cent solid, with 800 con- verting workers striking together | with the weavers and throwers. The | Eagle company is one of the biggest Plants in the country, employing moze than 3,000 workers. At the strike meeting in Red Men's Hall today, all hands were! raised in enthusiastic response to| | | mills of the Susquehanna Silk Com- |pany in Sunbury, Pa. 17 miles | away. Preliminary reports indicate | that the strike is taking hold in | Sunbury. Shamokin strikers are optimistic over possibility of organ- |izing Sunbury workers today and| | pulling them out on strike. Twi | ty-five cheering carloads of s | ers traveled to Sunbury for piclet- | ing. Many workers of U. T. W. local | 1739 feel that Walter Fortune, pres- |ident of the local, is more sym- Pathetic to the company than to the strikers. Fortune complained that the Eagle Company is being “crucified” and will lose money be- cause of the strike, but brushed over the unbearable conditions of the workers in the mills, trying to make | them feel good by telling them that out voluntarily and that 90 per cent were. “intimidated.” But every) worker in New England knows that | the general textile strike in New| |England is now aid-tight because | they themselves carried on huge mass picket lines. In Fall River last night tear gas Was again thrown at a crowd of thousands of pickets in front of the Sagamore Mill. But the workers closed the mill and every other Fall River mill. Auto squads of pickets were mopping up the few smaller mills today which remained at work, | | the strikers sending pickets from | the plants already struck. In Lowell the strikers formed a | united front of the U. T. W. and | members of the independent union, |the Textile Workers’ Protective | | Union, the urge of the workers for | | unity inducing the officials to hold joint meetings. The workers merged on the picket lines, members of both | | unions picketing together. | But the officials of the Protec- | |tive furthered the “red scare” by | attacking Communists, J.

In Lawrence, I toured the giant | American Woolen Mills, huge brick | fortresses. Workers told me today that far less than half of the woolen workers are now at work. Only about 5,000 out of approxi- mately 20,000 woolen workers are at | | work in Lawrence.

Take the strike into your own hands by electing rank and file strike committees in every local. Every step should be taken now to organize regional strike conferences in every textile area, in New England, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, and in the South. Workers representing every mill in the region should be sent to these conferences. The re- gional conferences, fighting against arbitration, mobilizing a real 100 per cent walkout and mass picketing, should elect delegates who really represent the workers, These delegates from the regional conferences should hold a na- tional meeting, and act as the only genuinely elected representatives of th hundreds of thousands of strikers, with authority to act for them, to meet and negotiate with the bosses in order to insure the strike will lead to a victory for the workers. This is the most effective way of blocking arbitration strike- breaking maneuvers. Do not let Gorman & Co. through his General Council, which is prepared to arbitrate in 24 hours, decide the out- come of your strike or under what conditions you go back to work. That should be put up to the strikers themselves, and decided by them. It is the workers who came out of the mills, who are facing the bayonets and machine guns of the bosses, who are losing their liyes in the struggle. It is the rank and file of the workers who should have the say on how this strike should be run and under what conditions it Shall be negotiated and settled!

W. leaders have failed to put forward the demand for increased wage minimum. This | is a basic demand, and starvation wages is what really brought them on strike, coupled, of course, with the killing stretch-out. In Burlington, Vt., Mayor James Burke issued an order prohibiting all outdoor meetings. The “benevolent” employers who now after everyone is obviously on strike declare they close the mills down to “protect loyal employes” only yesterday asked Governor Ely to call out the National Guard in Massachusetts, This request was | contained in a telegram to Ely from | Frank Carpenter, secretary of the Cotton Manufacturers’ Association, issued tomorrow when the uphol- ery and drapery workers will be alled out.” Gorman’s figures cannot be taken as official since new totals are ad- mitted each hour. It is a conceded fact, however, that the number out on strike is being multiplied with each new report. “Reports continue to pour in re- porting more mills closed. We are closing the industry. Every hour sees new mills closed. Even the sec- tions that we knew would lag be- hind are joining the strike. Today the sirike tide is flooding up across. North Carolina.

A picket line of more than 5,000 shut down the Shawmut Mill at Lowell yesterday. 1,200 Out in Boston BOSTON, Mass., Sept. 6.—About 1,200 textile workers came out on strike here yesterday with about 400 still at work. These remaining few hundred will be out soon, The United Textile Workers, which has a small nucleus of about 60 mem- bers, at a mass meeting held on Labor Day with about 150 to 200 jpresent voted to strike Tuesday jmorning. However, no attempt was |made Tuesday morning to form a picket line when about 100 stayed out. Only when National Textile Workers Union followers got in among these textile workers was a picket line successfully established by members of both unions on |Tuesday at noon. The followers of | |the National Textile Workers Union | |have been in the forefront of strug- jgle and have actually ldriving force in making picket | line a success. Tuesday noon about | | 709 responded to the strike call as/ ja result of this joint activity of | |followers of both unions. The ranks | of the strikers were swelled to 1,200 | |by Wednesday. By today every tex- | tile worker is expected to be on strike, with militant picket lines be- ing formed. “We do not know whether the union will be asked to submit the textile strike issues to arbitration, but if an arbitration proposal is made we shall agree to it only after we have closed all mills in all divi- sions of the industry.” Bouquets for Roosevelt “Roosevelt,” he said, “has acted out of a spirit of helpfulness and because of his genuine concern for the welfare of the workers. We know that. ” Despite the offi- cially admitted reduced standard of living suffered by all workers under the Roosevelt program. It is obvious that the Gorman strike leadership is baffled by the totally unexpected, mountanous wave of strike militancy of the workers, Only this desperate detor- mination on the part of the work- ers to fight on the picket lines has prevented the U.T.W. leadership from stopping the strike forthwith on receipt of the Roosevelt pro- posal. Indications point to the at- tempt to keep the workers under U.T.W. control within grazing radius of the U.T.W., as it were. Acting on the recommendation of Lloyd K. Garrison, chairman of the National Labor Relations Board, Roosevelt last night appointed a textile “inquiry” mediation board of three to “Inquire into the general character and extent of the com- plaints of the workers in the cotton, wool, rayon, silk and allied indus- tries,” “To inquire into the problems confronting the employers” and “upon the request of the parties to a labor dispute, act ag a board of voluntary arbitration or select a person or agency for voluntary ar- bitration.” Each board member will be paid $25 a day. Roosevelt ordered the new board to report to him, “through the Sec- retary of Labor,” and “not later than Oct. 1, 1934.” This new Rocsevelt board consists John W. Winant, chairman, mil- lionaire Governor of New Hamp- shire, one of the texti states. Many of today’s capitalist press stories label him a “liberal Repub- lican.” Winant, in “Who's Who in America,” lists himself as “engaged of screaming supporter of the N. R. A., quotes Gorman today: “Pretty Terrible Experiences” “Our people have had some pretty teribly experiences with other boards in the pasi. On previous oc- casions when a board has investi- gated conditions of the workers, conditions were worse afterward than they were when the board began.” When questioned about the signed ‘Washington dispatch in today’s New York Times, that the U. T. W. will continue the strike “pending the findings of the mediation board unless President Roosevelt asks the | union to call off the wali-out.” Gorman declared the story “a mis- statement.” The Times reported apologized, saying “Some mixup” occurred “in the office.” However, it js indicative of the way the wind is blowing around strike headquarters that no U. T. W. official even re- ferred to the Times story until it was called to Gorman’s attention. In answer to many questions about the spreading activities of the deputized murder squads oper- ating under employer-government direction, Gorman announced that “we urged our people to maintain the peace. We're having a hard time doing it in the face of the shoctings in the back. The workers were shot down in cold blood just as they were in Marion, N.
