ten points lower than the high of

Chandler Motor was also weak

that the half yearly report, due
soon, will. disclose an unfavorable

Working Peoples League for
Farmer Labor Federation
By WILLIAM F. dunno
Especial TO The Daily Worker)

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Mar.
13.-The Working Peoples
Nonpartisan League in session
in Richmond Hall here has an
dorsed the Farmer-Labor Fed
Grafton and voted to become
part of that organization.
The decision was reached
with but little debate and that
chiefly on details of the organ
ization plan. William Ma
honey, of st. Paul, is chairman,
and Fred Siegel, of that city, is
secretary.
The Farmer-Labor Fedora
ton delegates, who met yester-
day and perfected their organ
ization, are meeting with the Work
ing Peoples Nonpartisan Political
League and the organization is now
the Federation of Workers and Farm
ers.
The Townley organization is also
meeting today and has FafsSea- te~saav
any delegate suspected Of desiring to
have the organization follow the
example of the Working Peoples
Nonpartisan Political League and be-
come part of the Federation.
The negotiations committee appoint
ed by the Federation yesterday was
denied the opportunity Of conveying
the message of the Federation to the
conference of the Townley organiza-
ton and this has resulted in clean
cut division among the Nonpartisan
League delegates. Numbers Of them
are now demanding that the Fedora
tion committee be heard and are
threatening to leave the League con
ference and meet with the Fedora
ton. The rank and file wants unity
and is going to have it in spite Of
the officials.

STRIKERS IN
COURT FIGHT
FOR RIGHTS
But It's Hard to Get Justice
Before DOnni0 Sullivan


Three garment strikers will
be brought before Judge Denis
Sullivan this afternoon to show
cause why they should not be
held in contempt of court for
alleged violations of the in
junction he issued on behalf of
the Graceline Dress Co., 3O2 S.
Market St. They are Morris
kravis, Eugenia SchIacter and
Minnie SeideI.
They were all arrested yes
terday by deputy sheriffs and
brought to the court of Judge
Sullivan for preliminary hear
ing.
They had not been served with
notices to appear in court to show
cause why they should not be held in
contempt as is usually done.
They were seized and hurried off
by the deputies. They were not
given a chance to consult Attorney
Peter Sissman, who represents the
union in the injunction proceedings,
and who appeared for the defendants.
y saSissman pointed out to the court
that he objected to any questioning
Of the people arrested on the grounds
that they had not been properly
served with notice to appear and
since they had not had a chance to
consult counsel they might incrimi-
nate themselves.
Judge Gets On High Horse.
His objection was overruled. Judge
Sullivan told Sissman that since he
had not filed in writing notice of his
appearance as counsel that he (Sul-
livan) would not recognize him.
Sissman countered by saying that he
had had no notice Of the proceedings
in time to file notice. The judge,
without saying so directly, finally
recognized Sissman as attorney for
the strikers.
Sissman repeatedly pointed out to
the court that any questions adj
dressed to the defendants were
illegal, because they had not been
properly notified in the contempt pro-
ceedings.
"But, Mr.. Sissman, / am only try
ing to find what is going on in the
district covered by these injunctions,"
Sullivan said.
Wants Judge to Obey Law.

getting that information except as Is
provided by law" Sissman objected.
His objection was overruled.
