merely punched so as to keep track Of
the strikers, he said and to find out
who is and who is not working.
Getting The Strike News
'Do you read the DAILY WORK
Err" asked Hyde of Fabian Tipshus.
Eyes" was the answer.
"Do you read it every day."
Eyes, read it every day to get the
strike news" Tipshus answered.
Hyde again was aroused by the fact
that the DAILY WORKER is exposing
the farce on justice being enacted in
Foell's court where workers striving
for decent wage are browbeaten like
criminals
Ask Funds For Strike
The Committee of Fifteen yesterday
sent letter to all unions in Chicago
asking them to aid the strikers finan-
cially. Members Of the Committee of
Is today said they doubted if float
to advertise the cause of the strikers.
They declared the idea may be aban-
doned because of the expense.
A recent report says that Com
pers, serenely oblivous Of the gallant
struggle of the garment strikers
against the injunction, is in Harris
burg pulling some of his political
strings on matter more important to
him, personally than a labor struggle.
put of Cases TIL Tuesday
The thirteen cases before Judge
FoeIl were postponed yesterday until
the coming Tuesday. One of the law
yers was informed by Judge Foell
that possibly on Tuesday the cases
will be laid over until at least another
week.
One Interpretation OF the postpon-
ments is that Judge Foell has a busy
calendar and postponed the cases for
lack of time.
Daily Worker Forces Judges Hand
But many are pointing out that the
exposure by the DAILY WORKER of
the class antagonism in which Judge
Foell continually sides with the en-
ployers, is making itselfsfelt. These
people point out that the publicity has
injured Foell's prestige as a fair
Judge.
The DAILY WORKER is showing
up the Judge who was Endorsed by so
many labor leaders in the last cleo
ton, and the cases are being postpon-
ed by Judge Foell, it is believed, in
order to save his face.
They Read the Daily Worker.
The DAILY WORKER was con-
stantly being brought up in yester-
days testimony by Charles Hyde,
lawyer for the ladies' garment bosses.
do you read the DAILY WORK
ERR" asked Hyde of Morris Sher.
"Of course l read the DAILY
WORKER" was the answer.
do you read it every day."
Eyes, l read it every day"
81 read the DAILY WORKER to
get the strike news" Morris Sher
said to a DAILY WORKER reporter
a little later. None of the other
Chicago papers tells the truth about
the strike Of the garment workers"
Judge Foell said in court yester-
day: 1.-THE right to strike is as sacred
as the right to work" If Judge Foell
believes that then the least he could |
do would be to declare the injunction
against picketing unconstitutional. |
AS long as Judge Foell sentences
strikers and keeps them off the
picket line he is acting in the in
terests Of the garment bosses and
helping them break the strike.
But Judge Foell should not allow
Attorney Hyde to browbeat the girl
defendants, get up close to them and
wave injunction writs and strike
cards in their faces as he has been
doing.
The present hearing in Room S07,
in the County Building, is perfect |
example of the use of the courts in
the battle of organized labor against
the employers, showing how the
courts are used to break strikes in
the interests of the employers.
That use Of police, detectives and |
judges to enforce injunctions against |
picketing is part Of the employers
plan to crush labor. The American
Federation of Labor and every or
ganized union has recognized the use
of the bench as an instrument in the
hands Of the employers.
No worker can respect Judge or
vote for him on election day when he
allows himself to be used as such a
tool. This case is not an ordinary
criminal case and the defendants are
not criminals. The right to picket
is as sacred as the right to strike,
because one cannot be carried on
without the other.
