POLICE ATTACK
REUSED STRIKERS
FIGHTING SPIRIT
Amalgamated Members
Determined to Win

The raid on the Offices of the Anal
gamated Clothing Workers did not
break the spirit of the members of the
union who are striking against the
international Tailoring Company and
the J. L. Taylor Company, 1t was ap-
parent at the picket line in front of
those two plants and at the strike
meeting at Hold Carriers hall.
Instead of trowing fear into the
hearts Of the members Of the union
the action Of the police solidifed the
ranks OF the strikers.
Pickets Show Spirit.
The solidIfcation was a rank and
file movement. The picket line was
manned by more pickets than have
turned out since the strike began.
The strike meeting was very largely
attended. The hall was crowded to
the doors.
Morris Splitter, business agent Of
Pants Makers Local No. IA, was in
charge of the meeting. He told the
strikers that this latest move on the
part of the bosses could only be met
by continued solidarity on the part of
the strikers.
Shows Reason for Raid.
Splitter pointed ont to the strikers
that one of the officials and a part
owner of the International had been
with the police when they raided the
union Offices and had pointed out per-
sons for the police to arrest us there
any more proof needed that the raid
and the charges placed against the
union officials are inspired by the
bosses who we have run ragged" he
asked the strikers.
In statement given 10 the DAILY
WORKER after the meeting Splitter
said: This move of the police in
spired by the bosses win not affect
the action Of the union toward the
strike. II they think that it will
brighten the strikers they have learned
differently by this time.
Show Keen Determination.
"The strikers realize that this at.
empt to frame up on the union officers
is an attack directly at the life OF
their organization.
I'VE Are Still Fighting"
"The ranks Of the strikers and the
members Of the union have been solid
flied by the raid and the charges
placed against the union members and
officers. We are still fighting and
we will win"

Majority to 40 for the reSolu-
ton of the Minority.
Unanimlty.
Following the vote, the election of
delegates to the district convention of
District s., on the basis of "a majority
and II minority took place. A motion
by Nat Green OF the majority, second
ed by Bob Minor of the minority, that
the list of delegates submitted be
accepted, was carried by unanimous
vote.
There were 10 delegates seated by
the credential committee by unan-
i4nous report, unanimously approved
by the body.
This harmonious signal was the first
of many signifying the desire to unity
the party on the basis of the decision
of the Comintern, and the resolutions
and decisions of the Parity Commits
sion.
Unity and BoIshevIzation the Keynote.
Comrade Cannon, in opening the
discussion for the c. E. c., stressed
the future rather than the past, point
ing out that the Comintern had laid
aside the theses of both groups, had
declared that both had made mistakes
and given the party a program ac-
ceptable to both, especially in regard
to the question of the labor party,
which he declared to be the key to
the labor movement.
NOT neglecting the accomplishments
of the party during the past Is
months. however, Comrade Cannon,
limited by the time of 30 minutes al
lotted to opening speakers of both
sides, covered the many activities Of
the party, the child labor campaign,
the presidential election campaign,
where the party had for the first time
come before the workers OF the coun-
try with a Communist program in the
general elections in a situation rem
dered extremely difficult both by OBJ
jective conditions as <recognizde by
the c. l., and the mistakes of the par
ty inherited from the previous Cen
trail Committee.
Constructive Work Under Difficulties.
The party had made a beginning on
the great task of raising the theoret-
ical level of the party member and
leadership in educational work. II
had sustained the great instrument
for Communism, the DAILY WORK.
Err, thru many trials and despite the
fact that the party was divided and
often seriously crippled by the OBJ
position of the hostile internal group,
it had defeated the counter-revolu-
tionary attempt of Abramovich to set
the American workers against Soviet
Russia, had made brave and effective
campaigns in the trade unions, such
as the coal miners, the carpenters,
the needle trades and others.
Citing the needle trades as one field
where the right wing tendencies of
Loreism had been effectively CON-
batted on the basis of concrete issues,
Comrade Cannon set forth the deve-
lopment of Loreism and the C. E. C.'s
method of struggle against 1t, to clari-
fly and Bolshevize the party, SO that

international Back Of Raid.
Grady. in a speech revealing his
squad as the watchdogs and servants
of the employers, admitted that he had
conducted the raid at the instigation
of Ray Reeder, secretary and part
owner of the International Tailoring
Company, after visit to the struck
plant at SAT West Jackson boulevard.
1t was Reeder who made the COM
plant, and then turned the matter
over to the willing Grady.
Grady exposed the real purpose of
the securing of the search warrant
and the arrest of sixty-two of the
strikers when he said: Il learned from
the owners of the International Tailor
ing Company that they suspected the
Amalgamated Of the acid throwing in
tailor shops. There is strike on at

Tae garment bosses, falling to Sc
cure an injunction against peaceful
picketing, failing with the help of the
A. F. of L. union, the United Garment
Workers, to herd scabs enur ~ break

to Rock Island, played a new card and
brot in Mike Grady, on the pay roll
of the city of Chicago, to do their dirty
work and break the strike for them.
Move to Stop Pleketlng.
81 went to the International Tailor
ing Company" said this friend of the
bosses, "and asked if they had any
trouble. They made me acquainted
with Reeder, who told me that his
employees had been slugged and that
the strikers were parading up and
down the streets in front of the build
ing"
Then Grady laid the evidence" Sc
cured in the raid on the Amalgamated,
which will go down in Chicago labor
history as one Of the most outrageous
attempts of the police to break
strike ever perpetrated. Grady laid
two revolvers under the judges nose,
in plain view of the newspaper photog-
raphers, and said he had taken them
from the Offices of the Amalgamated.
But William A. Guinea, attorney for
the Amalgamated, showed that these
two revolvers were unloaded, and that
Il is lawful for any concern to keep
guns in their office or home. Guinea
also showed that the iron rods, some
of them wrapped in newspapers, which
Grady also displayed prominently for
the benefit of the photographers, were
not taken from the persons OF the
union men but were found by Grady.
just where Grady did not state.
Captain Siege, whose squad aided
Grady in the raid on the union hall,
further revealed the attempt OF the
International to break up the Amalga-
mated picket line when he made gem
civilizations about "acid throwing"
smuggling" and "terrorizing," and said
This is not conducive to peaceful
picketing."
No Violent Pieketlns.
Guinea objected to this statement,
declaring that the complainants must
