the progressive miners, know why,

Lewis Aided Operators.
John L.. Lewis has contributed to
the defeat of the anthracite miners
by his permission to the maintenan-
ance men to work during the strike.
The maintenance men have secured
the coal-owners property during the
strike, and have aided the coal
owners to break the strike, by keep
ing the property in a condition that
enabled the operators to wash and
ship stock coal all during the shut
down.
Lewis stands accused Of betray-
ing the miners by his acceptance OF
arbitration and his refusal to call
out the maintenance men. The

Clothing Workers, 400 South Halsted
street, by the city detective bureau
squad, led by Mike Grady upon orders
from the international Tailoring Com
pany, failed to achieve its purpose Of
breaking the strike against that firm,
was shown by the spirit displayed by
the pickets yesterday.
At the strike meeting, the Interna-
tional employees, realizing that the
raid was another desperate attempt to
smash their union and break up the
strike, went ahead with plans for
their picnic on Sunday. The IA strike
leaders who had been held in $4,000
and $4,000 bond each were all re-
leased yesterday, and bail for Patsey
De Rosa held on 100000 bond, was
expected to be obtained by nightfall.
Jailed Strikers cheered.
The strike meeting yesterday was
crowded with enthusiastic pickets,
who applauded and cheered those who
had been held in the raid. The picket
line was even bigger and the strikers
more determined than ever that they
shall not return to work until the In

The prosecution was based on the
fact that the police had found in his

and writings Of the noted Chinese
Communist Chen Tah-chie.
The court found that Mr. Chen's
articles were directed against impe-

ARTICLE III.
"Majah" Berry, like many other
high officials of the American FEEDER
alton of Labor, has conveniently for
gotten the early history of the trade
union movement in this country,
when the unions and the men who
organized the unions believed in fight
ing against the employers for better
conditions for the workers and not in
cooperating with the employers to
fleece the membership. Today Berry
claims to be a prominent business
man and one of those good labor
leaders who never have any quarrels
with the bosses. If Berry does not
quarrel with the bosses, he cannot
say the same about his relations with
the members of his own union.

was that he believed in making the
publishers live up to their agreements.
Even capitalist newspaper, the
Brooklyn Daily Times, admitted that
the publishers broke the strike of the
New York web pressmen in Septem-
Der 1928. In its issue of July 10, 1925,
the Times, commenting on a court de.
cision which gave Simons the right
to jury trial in his fight with Berry,
said. "Simons lost his position in the
union following the pressmen's out

newspapers in the city for nearly
week and was finally crushed thru
the efforts Of Berry in bringing in

FRANKLIN union
NO. A BETRAYED
BY PRESIDENT
Tries to Split Feeders
from Freshmen

That President Hugh crambert Of
Franklin Union No. 4 Of the Press
Feeders ls trying to betray the MEM
bers again to the Berry international
machine was disclosed Thursday,
when he tried to break the strike and
force the feeders back to work at the
cuneo plant, which does the printing
work Of Sears oebuck. The line Of
attack Of the Berry international ma
chine Is now revealed as an attempt
to split the pressmen and feeders be-
fore they join forces.
Crambert, whose reputation is well
known as laekey and lickspittle of
Berry, has been on a vacation for
week and a half. But evidently hear
ing that the pressmen and feeders
were going to unite their forces, prob
ably being tipped off by the Berry ma
chine, Crambert hurried back to town
and tried to call meeting of the feed
ers now on strike at Cuneo's.
Conspiracy to Block AmaIaamation.
Crambert's bright idea was to coax,
beg or blackjack the feeders to go
back to work. If the feeders went
back, then the InternationaIs machine
crooks In the Pressmen could point
out that the feeders had broken the
strike line, and thus by setting No. 8
and No. A against each other, to be-
tray and defeat the effort of the men,
bership of both unions to amalgamate
at the meeting scheduled to take place
at the Peoples Institute, Leavitt and
Van Buren, streets, Saturday at 2::sO
D. M
The International gang is making
desperate efforts to break the feeders
and prezsDies apart, to. split them
away from each other and ruin the
hopes of the members of both unions,
before this meeting takes place.
crambert's Treason Strikes Snaa.
When Crambert tried to tell the
feeders at Thursdays meeting that
Cuneo's shop was full of scabs and
that they had to go back to prevent
complete loss of the union, he sound
ed the wrong key, for the feeders
knew the conditions at the plant. They
resented the strikebreaking threats
and actions Of Crambert and altho he
tried to hold a meeting secretly of
feders only, the progressive feeders
knew what was coming.
When the meeting opened, about ESQ
men, both feeders and pressmen also,
were present, and when Crambert
pulled his strikebreaking stuff near
riot ensued, in which Crambert es-
capped physical injury only by the skin
of his teeth.
Tricked Them Before With Lie.
Crambert has bad name among the
feeders, not only as a general faker,
but for his lying method of getting
them into the International three
years ago by a promise that if they
would go back in the international,
the color houses would be won back in
three months.
1t is now three years since Cram
bert made that promise and the men
agreed to accept the proposition. But
the color houses still remain where
they were three years ago. The feed
ers are determined to defeat all eff
forts to split them away from the
Ressmen, who are kept thoroly in
formed of all moves Of the Berry ma
chine and who are in turn cooperating
fully with the feeders
