JEWISH BUTCHERS
OF Los ANGELES
OUT TO ORGANIZE
Launch New Drive for
100 Pct. Union
ey A worker c0rresp0ndent

LOS ANGELES, Calf, Nov. 1O.-A
delegate from the Central Labor Coun-
Gil of Los Angeles. NJ. R. Grunof, one
of the vice-presidents of the Amalga-
mated Butchers of North America.
walked up to a group of Jewish butch
ers here one day and said, Boys, win
you help me organize a Jewish Butch
ers' Union in Los Angeles?" That
question started what is now known
as the Los Angeles Jewish Butchers
Local 326.
The concrete achievements from cir
culars Immediately distributed among
Jewish butchers and notices in the
Jewish newspapers inviting all Jewish
butchers to come to a mass meeting
for the purpose Of organizing for bet
ter wages, shorter hours and better
conditions, is demonstrated by the
union cards that adorn the windows
of II newly organized Jewish butcher
shops.
But the Jewish butchers tho proud
OF their accomplishments do not pro-
pose to stop here. Our aim IS to or
ganize the entire city of Los Angeles.
There is Jewish population OF 10O,-
900 in Los Angeles, We therefore urge
every Jewish housewife to stand by
us In our organization drive. Especial
ly do we make our appeal to the wo-
men Consumers Educational League
TO put their shoulder to the wheel and
help the butchers come thru 100 per
cent organized, We can do this II the

UPTON SINCLAIR
SCORES GOV.
OF CALIFORNIA
Points Out Taft's Book
to Aid c. S. Victims
T. L. o. News Service.

Governor Friend w. Richardson Of
California is not a slave to public
opinion tho he is not known TO be SO
cold to suggestions coming from that
section Of society that derives its in-
come from exploiting the many.
Richardson's contempt for public
opinion was learned when he replied
to letter written by the noted novel
ist, Upton Sinclair, appealing to the
governor to pardon Charlotte Anita
Whitney, who was convicted under the
criminal syndlcalism law of the state
Of California and whose conviction
was upheld by the United States SUI
preme court, in its refusal to accept
jurisdiction OF her appeal.
Claims He Enforces all Laws.
In his reply to Sinclair, Governor
Richardson declared that he was in
receipt Of letters and kilograms ask
ing for pardon for Miss Whitney. The
, governor disclaims responsibility for
passing the law but asserts that he
has taken an oath to support all laws
winding up with the statement that:
ut is my duty to stand up for the
laws and to protect society, and will
not issue pardons merely because of
popular clamor."
To which Sinclair replied
Il am deeply touched by the gov
ernor's loyalty to the code Of laws Of
this state, but would like to ask the
governor, as practical man, how
many thousand laws there are on the
statute books which he does not en-
force and which he has entirely for
gotten.
Better Read Tafts Book.
IT would like to remind him also,
upon the highest possible authority,
that of Chief Justice Taft of the
United States supreme court, that the
great bulk of the laws Of this coun-
try are enforced in the interest Of the
rich and not in the interest of the
poor. Governor Richardson has, per
haps, not read Justice Taft's book, en-
titled, Justice and the Poor; ask
him to read it."
The International Labor Defense is
conducting a campaign for the release
of Miss Whitney and all other vic
] tins of the California syndicalist laws.

POLICE HAVE NO
RIGHT TO ARREST
WITHOUT WRITS
Citizens Can Resist
Illegal Search

When minions Of the law attempt
unlawful arrests and are so bold as
to point their pistols. they may be
killed and there is no punishment,
declared Attorney Michael Ahern, in
his speech before the Jury in the
trial Of the two Genna gunner, Albert
Alselmi and John Scalisi. for the kill
ing Of two Chicago policemen.
"Olson and Walsh (the two police
men who were shot by the Genna
gang) when they leaped out of that
car with guns in their hand, put them
selves in a position where the de-
PENDANTS had right to shoot them"
stated Ahern as he turned around to
pick up a number of lawbooks to
prove his contention.
Must Have Warrant.
He then quoted decision of the
United States supreme court in the
case Of Chicago gunman getting"
policeman, that the circumstances
under which an officer may arrest
without a warrant are when. he wit
nesses the commission Of a mis-
demeanor or when he has knowledge
of felony and sees the perpetrator.
He must know beyond question that
his man is guilty before he may ar
rest him.
Grove Plays "Big."
States Attorney Grove, who always
furnishes trial spectators with much
amusement in his attempt to make
himself appear as the defender" OF
claw and order" chimed in with
what if Marty Durkin were to go
automobile riding and a policeman
saw him, but was not quite positive
of his identity, could not the police
man seize him."
"If the policeman did not know
that the man was Durkin," Ahern
shot back, "the man would have a
perfect right to tell the officer il
was none of his damn business"

Sears Roebuck Has

worker Correspondent

twenty-five thousand are now en-
ployed at the Sears Roebuck and Co.,
as it is the mail order rush season
Need for organization is strongly felt
here, especially to resist wage cuts.
New methods of reduction are con-
tinually being worked out, tho there
is no system of increasing wages. No
matter if a man works here 10 years,
there is no difference made in his pay.
If he is married he gets $27 a week,
first and last.
And the boss will snap up a chance
to displace a married man with a
single man, as the latter only gets
$25 a week, that is, if he is above rs
years old. If under that he may get
