NEW YORK CITY, Jan. 25.--
Angered at the action Of the Of
fetal machine of the Fancy
Leather Goods Union in taking
all the names OF the miIitants
of the ballot. the progressives
proceeded to print sample ball
lots to distribute. but were bru-
tally beaten by the gangstsrs
provided by the bureaucrats.
The election sef officers took
place on Thursday at the Rand
School, z East 18th street.
Strike Names OF Ballot.
All names of active militants in this
union were stricken from the ballot,
and the membership could only vote
for machine officials, headed by the
s125-a-week Ossip Walinsky, manager.
The progressives Of this union
printed sample ballots with the names
Of the militants, and were distributing
these as protest against this arbi-
trary action on the part Of the union
bureaucrats. Two active young New
York girl comrades were helping il
handing these out to the members Of
the union on their way to vote.
Just at the time these shabby work
ers were golng lzksio regaste6 their
protest, and were each taking a copy
Of the sample ballot, along came a
MISUNDERSTANDING man, vaudevilIe-ac-
tor type, with cane and spats and
shook one Of the girls by the shout
ders and threw her in ditch, say
ing, Are you member OF this I'M
ion?"
He took the ballot from the hands
of the other girl and threw it on the
street, Indignantly.

He then ran into the Rand school
and was reinforced by three dozen o.

he was going after the police force in
addition to this small army. Violin
sky, however, was recognized immedi.
ately by his cane which he evidently
carried not only for the purpose of
keeping up his $125 a week style but
for protection against women who
might be lurking on doorsteps.
The milltants. however, were not
daunted by his rough-house actions.
