avenue. They began striking with
fists and the butts of their sticks but
as the workers attempted to stand
firm the police swung at full arm
length, failing viciously in six-foot
arcs at the buttocks, sides and legs
Of the pickets. One of the leaders,
Sam Lipsin, collapsed, and was taken
to ST. Marks Hospital. Women's
screams rose in the air as the police
beat them viciously. Most of the
strikers gave way, police tearing af-
ter them with failing clubs. But sew.

for a time, among these Ben Gitlow, a
member of the Amalgamated cutters
local and leader of the left wing,
also Workers Party candidate for
mayor. Gitlow is a tall, heavy man
and the police chose the shorter work
ers around him for their targets. One
girl, Jennie Cohen, was arrested and
later released in court, but the arrest
was on an ordinary police charge, not
under the injunction which was a
dead letter for the day.
There was excitement about half an
hour later when So. workers walked
out. Raymond Reiss, vice-president,
general manager and so on, of the
millionaire owner lost his head and
pulled a gun. But without avail.

has seen. The second took place an
hour later when thousands OF celebrat-
ing workers welcomed the march in
to their midst of IS foremen and So
key-position workers in all from the
plant that has been fighting the union
four and half months.
Leading the first demonstration was
the Amalgamated Action Committee,
an unofficial left wing movement that
advocates open defiance Of injunc-
tions. Organizing the second demon.
stration was the official body of the
Amalgamated Clothing Workers
Union itself. When the Internation-
al Tailoring Co. got what it consider
ed the tightest injunction New York
City has known in a labor case the
unions tactics were to continue the
fight but officially to confine its pick
citing to the J. L. Taylor G. Co., an
allied concern and located in the
same building, and in this course they
were technically endorsed by court
when arrests had been made.
This morning at seven there were
eight or ten Amalgamated pickets
bearing the Taylor strike placards
and more than that many police
men. One picket, however peaceful,
is always considered to justify as
many policemen as possible. The
scene was quiet, but not for long. At
1880 the left wing marchers came,
several hundred strong, bearing fore
and aft big red lettered placards en-
blazoned with the name of the Inter-
national Tailoring Co., which Judge
Churchill has ordered not be adver-

u. S. Imperialism in
New Oppressive Acts
Against the Haitians
CONTINUED from page one)

Continued from page one)
Press dispatch reported that "State
department officials see no reason to
expect serious trouble in Haiti even
If President Borno should decide,
as he probably will, and has the
Constitutional authority to do, to with
hold the call until October 1897"
This prediction was fulfilled by Pre-
sident Borno on October 10, and Wash
ington has decided not to interfere.
Military Rule
Political life in Haiti, however, is
completely dominated by American
interests. The United States con-
trolls the republic through a detach-
ment Of marines, an American-control
led constabulary, an American finan-
cial adviser, and an American receiv-
er-general who collects all customs
revenues. Above all there is an Amer
lean high commissioner, at present
General John H. Russell of the U. S.
marine corps.
Haiti's political subsection to the
United States is intimately connect
ed with the investments in that repu-
bile of the National City Bank of
New York, a Rockefeller intuition.
Six times during 1914 and 1915 the
state department made direct over
lures to Haiti to obtain control Of its
customs in order to guarantee Amer
loan Investments XVhau fhaea ox,ar
lures were turned down, American
battleships and marines, commanded
by Admiral Caperton, invaded the re-
public and assumed control.
A Rockefeller Game
The legal" foundation of Amer
ica's control rests on the treaty of
1915, which was later extended to
1885. The treaty was forced on the
Haitian legislature after Admiral Cap
erton seized the capital and the lead
ing ports and declared martial law. :
Subsequently an American financial
adviser appointed by President Hard
ing brought pressure to bear on Haiti
to pass laws giving the National City
}ank financial control. Haiti owes the
New York intuition $4,000, 900.
Furthermore, Haiti's national bank
and railroad are both in the hands Of
the National City Bank.
Over 1900 practically unarmed
Haitians were killed during the pro-
cess OF turning Haiti into protector.

Of neglecting to tell British and Am

to reduce the city to ruins, hence they
remained while the French evacuated.
AS result number of Americans

The British press is extremely
critical Of the massacre and the Am

FAIR SEX REFUSE TO
RISK FINERY IN MUD
Social Event of The Year Must
Wait Until 1t Stops Raining

The women folks of the members
of the Elizabeth City Country Club
are determined not to let Mother
Nature spoil for them what promis-
eS to he the greatest social event of
their lives. the formal opening of
the new Country Club.
For weeks the women folk have
been Keeping local dresSmakerS busy
making evening gowns. or remaking
gowns of other years. They have
reSurrected the mems dress suits
that have been in tar paper bags
with camphor balls for a decade.
The dry cleaning establishments.
both Bray's and COoper's have been
busy soaking the camphor out of
the Tuxedos and pressing them back
into some semblance of their Origi-
nal shape. And it has rained, rain
ed. rained.
The opening Of the club was to
have been last Friday night, with Il
reception at which Elizabeth Citys
fairest were to strut themselves as
they had never-for lack of Oppor-
tunity-strutted themselves before.
But it rained and the affair was
postponed till Monday night. Ihc
ladies were not going to risk their
finery in the wet. Monday it rail-
ed again and 400 telephone calls
notified members and guests of all

rain again the opening and rccrl-
ton may be pulled off tonight IL
it rains, there'll be another post

out in the wet with all their flnery
provided with so much trouble ana
expense.
