TWO MEN ARE ARRESTED

The shooting down on Mott street,
near Bleecker, yesterday morning OF
a picket of the Amalgamated Clothing
Workers Of America who had attacked
a non-union clothing worker threw
a new light upon conditions in the
supposedly Settled" clothing strike.
A week ago yesterday Justice John
M. Tierney in the Supreme Court
handed down a decision disrnissing the
application of counsel for Heidelberg.
Wolff & Co, wholesale clothing manu-
facturers, for contempt proceedings
against several officers Of the Amalga-
mated Clothing Workers Of America
for alleged violation of an injunction
issued some weeks ago forbiddng the
Amalgamated and its members and
officers from in any way interfering
with the business of Heidelberg. Wolff
& Co, at 644 Broadway.
Acts OF Violence Cited.
The firm has been running an open
shop since the first OF this year. Be-
cause OF repeated acts OF violence
against It's non-union employees during
January, February and March The firm
brought action. through Gordon. Taliey
& Gordon, counsel for the clothing man.
ufacturers. who will not accept the die
tates OF Sidney Hiliman and Joseph
Schlossberg, president and secretary of
the Amalgamated. as to how they should
run their business. The action asked
for permanent injunction against what
were described as Outrageous acts Of
felonious assault" for damages and for
other relief Pending the trial of the
action a temporary injunction was
granted.
Tho violence. which consisted princl-
pally OF hired Amaleamated pickets
waiting for Heidelberg. Wolff & Co. en-
ployees either going to or coming from
work. and assaulting them. both men
and women, with clubs, iron bars or
brass knuckles-the assailants being
designated In the affidavits OF the firms
employees as known thugs and guer-
rillas pretending to be Amalgamated
workers. but really hired to commit
these assaults''--contnued in spite Of
the temporary injunction issued by JUS
tlce Tierncy.
Justice Tierney. looking over the evil
dence, dismissed the application for con-
tempt proceedings He also dismissed at
the same time similar application
made by Gordon. Talley & Gordon in
behalf OF Fruhauf Bros. clothing manu-
facturers.
The decision OF Justice Tierney seems
to have been the signal for an instant
and intensive renewal Of the violence by
Amalgomated pickets upon Heidelberg
& Wolff employees. The very same day
Charles Goldstein, head tailoring oper-
ator for the firm, was assaulted by two
or three men who followed him to his
home. sos Dumont avenue, Brooklyn.
Goldstein was knocked down and struck
across the face with weapon which
broke both his lips open and ashed
some OF his teeth. He recognized the men
who attacked him as men who had
picketed the shop at Bleecker street and

"Yes," he sighed. "And that is why

They were silent. Below the cleo

the waltz had stopped. The sound OF
laughing voices came up to them.
Turning away again they leaned on
the balustrade and watched the dis

She answered, with exaltation:
