Herrin Miner Boost Unionsm
Henry Jacobs, miner from Her
rim, ILL.,, answered the ad run there
for men. He addressed the strikers
yesterday, telling them about the
growth of unionism in Herrin. He
declared that the men should stick to
the strike until it is won.
A collection over 80 dollars was
donated by the strikers to out OF
town men who arrived destitute from
far off points, not knowing Of the
strike, and who refused to scab.
When the DAILY WORKER re,
porter announced to the strikers that
the proceeds of the May Day meet
ing next Thursday night would be
donated to the Pullman strikers, the
strikers cheered. The meeting will
be held in STAINS Stancik's Hall, 2O5
East 115th Street, and many of the
strikers declared their intention of
attending.
Bosses Spread Wild Rumors
The Pullman Company is trying to
shake the solidarity Of the strikers
by spreading many wild rumours.
But they cannot longer deny that pro-
duction is at a standstill. Their il
legal acts in sending out lying labor
agents to scour the country for rivet-
ers, reamers, buckers, filters and
buckers has reacted against them.
The men are arriving by every train
from distant points, and many autos
filed with out-of-town workers are
turning up in Pullman. But as soon
as they learn of the strike, these
workers leave the plant, and demand
their transportation money.
The picketing yesterday was better
than at any time since the start, and
the strike meeting was bigger. More
men have Joined the union on the ap-
peal of John Holmgren, strike leader,
and there are plenty of volunteer
picketers. Laborers in the plant who
are not on strike have been idle for
over a week. Yesterday these men
were idling about the lawns of the
Pullman Company watering the grass
and transplanting sod, instead of their
usual job Of hauling around steel
plates.
The DAILY WORKER is in big de-
mand, in spite of the threats made
against those distributing it.
