The states attorneys Office again
asked for continuance, which, in

Shuchter pointed out last Saturday,
when Reeve was scheduled to secure
jury trial, that the complaints were
not properly made out, that it was
ridiculous for an assistant states at
torney to press a disorderly conduct
charge, and that the defense was
ready to call its witnesses and pro-

grounds Shuchter asked for dismissal

AG AINST PACT
And Lewis LAXITY
Mass Meeting Calls for
Stronger Action

BELLAIRE, Ohio, June 25.-Miners
of Eastern Ohio held a large mass
meeting here in tho theatre Of the
Miners Temple to discuss ways and
means to secure the enforcement Of
the present contract and union condi-
tons of employment, which the coal
operators, taking advantage of great
unemployment, are breaking continu-
ously, and which the union officials,
it is charged are lax to enforce.
Representatives Of eighteen local
unions and a large gathering of in
dividual miners assembled in spite Of
discouraging articles in the local vel
low press, let loose by the members
OF the official family, and in spite of
an official circular sent to every To-
cal union in the sub-district 5, calling
upon the miners to ignore this meet
ing, and repeating the old hackneyed
phrase of "disruptionists at work"
The Rank and File Frank.
Meeting was opened with few re-
marks by the chairman after which
a secretary was elected and the floor
thrown open for discussion. 1t was
interesting to watch the contrasts be-
tween the rhapsodies of John L. ct.
Co. and the frank statements of the
miners from the facts in describing
the beauties of the present thrse-year
contract.

speeches delivered by the rank and
file in this gathering, while the union
officials were conspicuous by their
absence.

That is a story by itself which
will be dealt with later in the
series.
In the second place, if they fought
the police it would be hard to get
news from this fertile source. And
thirdly, 1t might put at the head of the
police department man who was
less interested in publicity than in his
job of hunting law breakers. And
the fact that the goldfish" is used
against union men and friendless poor
persons excites no sympathy in news
papers which are big business jnsti-
tutions themselves.
Hearst Paper Named Chief.
When William Hale Thompson
came into the mayors Office it was
well-known all over the city that the
Herald-Examiner was going to name
the next chief of police. And it did.
The Hearst newspaper first named
one man and when he was disap-
proved by some politicians, they
named George Fitzmorris. Needless
to say, the chiefs office extended
every courtesy to the Herald-Exam-
iner in getting the news. It was as
much as minor police officials job
was worth to buck a Hex" reporters
efforts to get story, even if get
ting the story meant that criminal
escaped.
"Hex" Man Big Boss.
Harry Romanoff, star man on the
Hex" was power in the police de-
partment. Police captains would be
called up and "bawled out" by Harry
because he failed to get a good story
from their station.
Publicity is great help to po-
lice officer in getting on in the depart
ment. The case of Grady, the sus-
pended lieutenant of the detective bu-
reau, is a case in point A short
while ago he was an obscure sergeant
in a south side station.
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1924-06-26

liked the excitement and publicity OF
hunting criminals. He got plenty OF
publicity from both the Herald-Exam
iner and the American. To them he
was hero. He gave them news that
the other papers didn't get. He was
always good for bit Of news when
Mike Hughes would not talk.
When the Franks case broke, Grady
was assigned with nearly all the 9th.
er detective bureau squads to worl,
on the case. He was called the lace
of detectives" by the admiring papers
He was on the spot with news. He
furnished the American with special
analysis of the case. 1t was featured
He was on top of the world.
Grady Indicted.
Then federal grand jury indicted
him for booze deal. He was ac-
cused Of having assisted a bunch of
beer runners to rob distillery. He
was suspended from the force.
But he still carries his "gat"; he
still does detective work. He only
the other day entered a house on
the south side without a search war
rant and without even the excuse of
being police officer and searched the
place on the pretext that he was look
ing for some stolen property.
This was hailed by the Herald-Ex-
aminer as a great deed. He was high
ly praised for his alleged devotion
to duty.
American Runs Grady's Campaign.
The case of Grady serves to show
Just what one paper will do to get
a little more than another paper. At
present the American seems to be
managing the campaign of Grady to
be reinstated On the force, even be-
fore the Indictment against him is dis
posed of.
From papers which depend on their
for sensational and police
news, there is no hope of expecting
any helm in eradicating the goldfish

This was received with a lasting APP
plause.
The thorn in the side of the Eastern
Ohio miners seems to be the discrim-
ination by the bosses against those
active in the local unions in reli-
giously carrying out the contract,
fighting for their fellow workers.
These men when they leave the en-
ployment of one company, can never
again secure a Job with that company

yet the union officials refuse to do
anything for these militants. defend

This and many other grievances
were brot up in the meeting, which
unanimously accepted motion that
each and every local union represent
ed, take steps to bring about a spe-
cial convention of the sub-district 5

.JAPSLEAD FIGHT
AGAINST SALMON
KINGS in CANADA
o r G anize Interracial
Solidarity in Strike
BY SYDNEY WARREN.
Federated Press staff Correspond

I
PORT ESsINGTON, B. c., June rs.
"A splendid example OF international
labor solidarity is being shown in the
strike of some two hundred Japanese
Indian and white fishermen employed
by the canneries on the Skeena river.
The fishing season for sockeye opened
on June 81, but the fishermen had
been informed in advance that the
price Of sockeye salmon would be
much lower than last season and
promptly told the bosses that they
would have to catch their own fish at
the price offered.
Last seasons price for sockeye sal
mon was soc fish using company
gear and 45c a fish supplying your
own gear. For this season the bosses
offered 221ac and SAC respectively.
The fishermen rejected this proposal
and demanded instead 25c and 371zc.
The above prices applied only to sock
eye salmon fish; inferior Chums and
Humpies were reduced accordingly.
Japs Form United Front.
AS soon as the workers learned that
the bosses were going to insist on ac-
ceptance of their scale for fishing this
season, they made preparations for
strike. The Japanese fishermen were
and are still the only group organized
in the fishing industry on the Skeena
river. Their organization is called
The Japanese FisheI1nen's Associa-
ton and this group Immediately pro-
ceeded to form united front among
the unorganized white and Indian
fishermen.
Japs House Strikers.
The cannery bosses drove the strik-
ers from the company houses, but
the japanese had prepared for this.
The president of the union owns a
number of houses at Port Essington,
which are now being used by the
strikers regardless Of nationality. Pro-
visions are on hand to cover the sal
mon fishing season which lasts about
two months and a victualling commit
tee of two distributes the food to the

Union restaurants In St. Louis

ST. LOUIS.-Union Mattresses have
signed a union shop agreement with
the LaSaIle restaurant here. This is
the termination of a long fight which
started 1920, when the La Sale joined
a citywide openshop drive on the
union culinary workers. The unions
side of the battle was conducted re-
lentlessly. Only two other large res
taurants remain nonunion as result
of an attempt to introduce the open
shop in the culinary establishments
here.

shoes.
Buy More Machinery.

Meanwhile Chile continues to i'm
port an increasing amount of ma
chinery. During 1923 the consign-
ments from the United States alone
we're valued at s2,575.942 as compared
with s1,171,S43 worth in 1922. Be-
tween 1922 and 1923 the value of shoe
machinery put into Chile by the
United States increased rs per cent.
The vital import of this to shoe
workers in the United States is ap-
parent when we note that in April of
this year 3 per cent of the shoe plants
in the country were idle while those
still operating we're only running Sc
per cent of full time and SO per cent
of capacity. Engineers estimate that
in normal times the demand for shoes
calls for not more than 60 per cent
of the industry's capacity. Faced
with unemployment the shoe workers
are accepting wage cuts.
Markets Will Get Simmer.
The condition, shown in terms of
a single foreign market for the prod
ucts of single industry, will be in
creasingly characteristic of the gen.
eral foreign market for products of
a majority of our industries. For
time parts Of the world which have
Jagged behind in industrial develop
ment will afford markets for surplus
finished products. But at the same
time American capitalists will be ex-
porting machinery and developing
these regions to the point where they
will supply their own wants. The re-
suit will be that productive capacity
on a world scale will exceed the abil-
ity of producers to buy back their
own products. Such situation will
force drastic establishments in the
social order.
