cowing Gets Fooled.
General Foreman John Cowings
has been the most INSCRIPTIONS and
the most active in trying to break
the strike. Cowings has whispered
all sorts of rumors and threats to, the
men, but they have refused to have
anything to do with him. 1t was
Cowings who sent out word to the
reamers that they must come back to
work and break the strike. He has
several times sent word to the men
to meet him for a conference, and
has tried to induce them to accept the
wage cut.
Asks Scabs to Perjure Selves.
Cowings' worst trick was put over"
Saturday. Cowings came out and
talked to three of the strikers. One
Of them was cleaning his nails with
penknife. Cowings went back into
the shop and spread the story that
this striker had drawn knife and at
tempted to stab him. Cowings tried
to impress on three scabs that they
had witnessed this act. They de-
clared they had not. Cowings then
told them they would either act as
witnesses or lose their scab jobs.
When the scabs refused to perjure
themselves, Cowings that night fired
lthem. Thus does the Pullman Com
pany bride it's men with fat bonuses
to do the dirty work.
Scab Goes on Strike.
One scab, who admitted to the
DAILY WORKER reporter that he
had been nothing but bum, a gang
ster and a cutthrQat gunman for
many years past, declared to the
DAILY WORKER that he is out on a
strike of his own. 1.-THE Pullman

when they paid me off only received
65 cents an hour. My arrangement
with the company was that / was not

make a lot of noise so that the men
outside the plant would lose heart.
would not do their dirty work for
less than they promised me, and quit.
Strike Aid for Pickets.
Plans have been made by John
Holmgren, the strike leader, to visit
some of the favorable unions during
the coming week, and appeal to them
for financial aid to the strikers.
Some of the painters and carpenters
locals will be among the first visited.
Strike aid will be given on the basis
lof picketing," Holmgren told the
DAILY WORKER. Every striker
has promised to picket the shops and
railroad stations, and each one has
been assigned definite time and
place to do the picketing. We are
planning to pay some of the urgent
expenses of these pickets and expect
substantial financial aid from organ
lied labor in Chicago"
Union organizations which have
been following the progress of the
Pullman strike in the DAILY WORK

Resolution Sent for Approval.
Whereas, the rent laws passed in
1920 and the recent extension of these
laws have afforded no relief from the
intolerable situation in which the
workers find themselves, and
whereas, the tax exemption did
not relieve the great mass of work
ers who cannot pay $40 room in
the newly-built tax exempt houses,
and
Whereas, the workers are still
compelled to live in unsanitary and
dangerous fre-traps,
Therefore, be it RESOLVED that
we endorse the demand of the Unit
ed Council of Workingclass Women
for CITY BUILT HOUSES TO BE
RENTED TO WORKERS AT COST.
and
Be it further resolved, that we
heartily support the DEMONSTRA-

Present Functions
Before we had been successful in
obtaining the passage of the eighteenth
amendment" Mrs. Bolle said, in ex-
planning the function of the w. C. 7.
U. at the present time, I'VE felt that
that act would be our biggest fight.
We did not imagine that a small mi
nority of Americans would offer oppo-
sition to the law and that these would
organize against its enforcement. We
have found this to be the result, how
ever, and we now believe the stamping
out of illegal alcohol will be almost so
great an effort as getting the law
placed on the books"
Mrs. Bolle asserted that the eigh-
teenth amendment was not, as some
represented, law forced "on' the peo-
pie but one forced "by" them. She
pointed out that after ratification by
congress it was passed by 46 state leg
islatures and by half of the houses in
the remaining two, Rhode Island and
Connecticut.
Act Not Perfect
The speaker said she was not alto
gether satisfied with the Volstead act
but would like to see it amended to give
it more teeth. Among additions, she
urged civil service for federal officers.

firing as he turned toward the target.
Nor did he touch the trigger. as the
