IRONWORKERS TO
ATTACK BOSSES
D|SRUPTING union
Counter Against Suit of
Openshop Bosses
BY LudweII Denny.

Federated Press Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK, June 9.-To make the
union shop illegal is the declared pur-
pose of the suit to be brot against the
International Association of Bridge,
Structural and Ornamental Iron Work
ers by the Iron league, New York'E
notorious openshop combine. Employ
ers consider the case as equal in i'm
portance to the famous Danbury Hat
ters case. The iron barOns will ask
for an injunction restraining union
members from signing a contract
agreeing to the union shop on the
ground that such contract is illegal
by interfering with rights Of non
union workers, according to Walter
Drew. attorney for the employers.
This action has grown out of the
iron workers strike for a wage in
crease from $1050 to $12 day and
union recognition. Most of the large
employers have signed with the union
and $500 men are back on the job, ac'
cording to the unions president, P. j
Morrin The Iron League of Essex
county has signed with the exception
of four firms, and over $50 companies
in the metropolitan area have accepted
the union agreement. The walkout on
May was 100 per cent. A few bitter
enders among the employers are try
ing to operate with about $50 strike
breakers under guard Of police and
private gunmen.
Replying to the Iron league, the
union proposed to bring suit against
it for attempting to disrupt the union
unless it forthwith abandon these IL
legal purposes" Samuel Untermeyer
who exposed in the Lockwood investi-
cation the illegal practices Of the Iron
league, is attorney for the union. He
charges that the leagues lawlessness
continues, and in a letter to the league
proposes to test its right "by under
standing or concerted action to wage
warfare against members OF the union
by means of unlawful discrimination
against contractors who have chosen
to enter into agreements with the
union, or to give preference in the
furnishing Of building materials to the
employers of non-union men,"

FASCISM is REAL
MENACE IN U. S.
LABOR MOVEMENT
Gurley Flynn Tells of
KIan in Farrell Case

American fascist, the white-sheeted
Ku Klux Khan, were chiefly respon.
sible for the conviction of Tony Kov-
acoYich in Mercer, Pa, and will secure
the conviction of the other five Farrell
defendants if the organized labor and
radical forces of this country do not
make their protest This was part of
the challenge of, Elizabeth Gurley
Flynn, speaking to the Amalgamated
Food Workers recently on the Men
ace Of tha Fascist and the Khan"
Fascios to Split Unions.
The organized forces Of reaction
must be fought in this country, the
Khan and the American Legion, and
the newly organized Fascios which
are being directed by Mussolini's own
forces, Miss Flynn stated.
She displayed official papers dis
closing plans for forming Fascios in
the United States to take the Italian
workers out of the so-called red" la
Dor organizations of the garment
workers and of the miners.
NO Laughing mdthSEs
1--WE may laugh at the Klan, but
they may very we'll have some serious
purpose underneath which will over
take us when we are not expecting 1t.
The Fascist were laughed at first for
their blackshirts but when they came
with daggers and bombs and broke up
every labor union and radical meeting
place, office, press, and even entered
the homes of well known active mem
bers of the movement it was no laugh
ing matter 'If any Italian paper in
this country attempts to picture even
mildly the terrible deeds of the Fas-
cisti, Mussolini's influence reaches in
to this country and has him arrest
ed" Miss Flynn flashed Indignantly.
Wouldn't Try MussoIinl Here.
She related how Carlo Tresca, editor
of 'Tl Martello," was arrested in
August for anti-Fascisti articles pub
Iished earlier in the year and was con-
victed in October for publishing in
September, after his arrest, the ad
of a book on birth control! The Fas-
cist leader of New York openly said
that his organization did not want to
have Mussolini and Fascism tried in
an American court by American
jurors. The Fascist did not want to
have favorable publicity which would
attend Tresca's trial If based on his
anti-Fascism.
Miss Flynn told how Tony Kovaco-
vich, the steel worker tried and con-
victed under the Pennsylvania sedi-
tion law, had lived peaceably in Far
rell for ~ years and then suddenly
was indicted for no other reason than
for membership in the Workers Party
and subscribing to the Russian Com
munist paper of America.
Miss Flynn's final plea was for the
liberal, labor and radical forces Of this
country to stand together against the
encroachments of the reactionary
Khan and Legion which threaten the
very life Of the labor movement.

Peach County Wins
Victory In Senate
Measure To Create Passed, SO to A.
House Still To Act on Proposal

ATLANTA, July 2--The first real
battle for the creation of Peach county
waged in this session of the legisla-
ture was won by those favoring the
county Wednesday when the Senate,
by vote of IS to 4, passed the Smith
bill authorizing the creation. This was
the first bill passed by the Senate this
session.
President Carwell took the floor in
behalf of the measure, declaring that
while he was opposed to more coun-
ties in Georgia, he believed that the
creations of Peach county would re-
store harmony to the section in which
it will lie. Senator Passmore, of the
Tenth district, was another who spoke
in favor of the bill
The bill will now go to the house for
consideration and if it there meets ap-
.proval, will be voted on by the people
in the next general election.
Peach county has been a bone OF
contention in these successive sess-
ions of the General Assembly and has
produced great strife at its each re-
currence. 1t is proposed to carve the
new county out of part of Houston
county and adjoining sections, with
Fort Valley, peach center OF the world
as the county seat.
