By a Worker Correspondent | NEW YORK.—A _ couple of weeks ago, due to pressure from the general membership, the Brook- lyn Edison local of the Brother- hocd of Utility Employes of Amer- ica threatened a strike. The main issue was the discharge of three B.U.E. members on a_ frame-up charge. These men were Donegan, Neely and O’Ryan. Donegan is chairman of the local. The first step by the officials of the local was to appeal to the Re- gional Labor Board. Mrs. Herrick, after one of her notorious “con- ferences,” denied the appeal of the | union. party, in these days of struggle I have to admit that I awoke last March to the fact that I always have been a born Communist with- out knowing it.

The J. & L. Co. has prepared a pile of specially made heavy clubs with which they hope to prevent strikes. This Labor Day, early in the morning, the burgess and two cops went to raid a worker's house. They claimed he was making moonshine. They found nothing but two pieces of new lumber that the worker had got for a bench he was making. The cops and the burgess took away these two pieces of lumber.

Several mew members were re- cruited into the Party and some new readers gotten for the Daily Worker. In the places where the signatures were collected the Party was fairly well popularized, through literature and conversations. plenty of the comrades in Mil- waukee will admit if questioned. I am sure of that “Dear Miss Luke, how it is that the domestics workers don't have any reports in this paper?

Without the influence and c ‘sel of the Communist Unit, the Brotherhood membership would never have broken through the red tape of reformist bureaucracy.
