member. Remy then read a state
ment made to officers by Purcell the
morning following the shooting in
which 1t is written he saw Black
burn hide the gun. Purcell denied
this.
Purcell said he assisted Smith
Martin, 80, Of 607 Congress Ave-,
son-in-law of the defendant, and
Blackburn, in taking tickets from
time to time. Upon cross-examina-
ton Purcell said he saw Martin and
Lyness trying to get into the dance
hall.
Throughout the morning session
defense and prosecuting attorneys
wrangled. Once Judge Collins had
to admonish them to stop their petty
Interruptions while examining wit
nesses.

State against Blackburn.
When Remy asked Miss Reddick
If she had an appointment with
Lyness at the dance hall, and as to
whether or not he was to take her
home after the dance, Symmes OBJ
jected. The objection was sustained
by Judge Collins. Miss Reddick gave
her occupation as an entertainer.
She said she was supposed to sing
at the dance. but did not.
Upon REORGANIZATION Symmes
asked Miss Reddick if she was mar
ried. She admitted she was. but
said she Is now separated from her
husband. She admitted her name
was Mrs. Floyd Randall.
Symmes asked Miss Reddick IL
she was not the Mrs. Randall who
figured in a Juvenile Court case.
Miss Reddick said she was brought
into court. but not convicted.
When Michael Ryan, Remy's as
sistant. objected to the questions put
to Miss Reddick, Symmes said he
was merely doing 1t to attack the
credibility OF the witness. She was
permitted to answer.

There the workers work 6O-hours a
week. The wages are SIS for begin
ners and S22 for old hands.
From week before Thanksgiving
until after New Years the workers
are compelled to work overtime as
late. as 10 p. m. for the price of a
supper. When the straw boss came
up to me and told me that would
have to work overtime l refused. The
following day, l was fired. l was told
by some of workers that when the
company takes stock" which is usu-
ally on Sunday when che store is
closed, they have to work for just the
price of dinner-no extra pay.
The American Federation of Labor
never made real effort to organize
the workers in the department stores.
1t is up to the workers themselves to
joint the Retail Clerks Union in order
to better their conditions.

UNION OFFICIAL
ATTACKS YOUNG
WORKERS LEAGUE
Youth Organizes Miners
to Fight Lewis
BY GEORGE PAPcuN.
(Worker correspondentl

REPUBLIC, Pa, Dec. IA So
called trade union official by the name
of John Kurtz who is supposed to
be an organizer for the United Mine
Workers of America attacked the
Young Workers (Communist) League
and the Workers (Communist) Party
at a meeting held here recently. He
charged that the leaders of the Com
munist movement we're damn fools"
and "nuts"-and why?
Because the Workers (Communist)
Party and the Young Workers (Com-
munist) League won the confidence
and the leadership of the coal miners
in the coke region where the trade
union officials failed.
There was an opposition to the
miners union during the strike in the
coke region. Did the officials do any
thing to break the opposition against
the union? MOI They did not even
try. It took the party and the league
to break this opposition
When we took the situation in hand
it convinced over 40 miners that they
must join the union and got the other
miners convinced that they must not
oppose the union but must get inside
and fight against such takers as Kurtz
and Lewis. When Kurtz got up in the
meeting and said that Feeney was
coming to speak at their next meet
ing, there was big uproar and the
fellows shouted they did not want to
hear the betrayer of the coke region
miners.
The miners joined the union at its
last meeting and when asked why
they joined they say the Workers
(Communist) Party and the Young
Workers (Communist) League tells us
to join and not because the union Of
ficials tell US, which is blow against
the takers and they will not be able
to fool the rank and file in the coke
regions as they are doing in some of
the other places.
Another big blow to the fakirs was
the Pat Tcohey meeting in Cardale,
Pa, which is near Republic. Over a
hundred lon-union miners attended
the meeting where the question OF
joining the union was put to the fore
The meeting was held under the
auspices Of the mine nuclei and two
new members joined the nucleus.

Workers Who Turn Red

The Inter Urban Association is cir
cularizing the trade unions with ques-
tionnaires regarding Negro labor.
Among the questions one finds such
as; Are there any Negro workers in
your trade, if so how many are in
the union? Are you opposed to Negro
workers in the union? Have Negroes
acted as strikebreakers in your
union? The letter accompanying this
QUESTIONABLE asks the unions to CO.
operate with the above organization

cir fellow workers and when the
men protested this action the super
intendent called the men together,
first promising them all the privileges
in the world, bonus and what not, but
the next minute threatening them with
violence and abuse if they would dare
to strike. He very boisterously boast
ed about the powers that were behind
the company, such as the General
Electric Co., and stated:
"If you men attempt any darned
picketing around this shop, this COM
pany has enough money to hire hun
dreds of singers to deal with you"
The next move was to fire II more
men. This finally resulted in calling
the strike
Strike Grows Stronger.
The successful picketing and the
militant spirit of the workers have
had the results that number of men
are coming out every day and joining
the ranks of the strikers and produc-
ton has been completely paralized.
All the highly skilled men who have
been working here for many years
have joined the strike.
The company, however, has made
good its threats of hiring all the plug
uglies, pimps and sewer rats in town
to try to intimidate the men. All these
professional strikebreakers have been
sworn in as special deputy sheriffs
and each scab is accompanied home
by one or two Of these skunks, who
even have the audacity to threaten
violence on elevated trains and street
cars when they see the strikers at
tempt to talk to the scabs.
Should Be Time to Unionize.
All this intimidation, however has
only resulted in greater solidarity
among the strikers, who are determin.
ed not to be bluffed by a bunch of
professional scabs posing as special
police, and they are determined to car
ry on the fight until the company has
been forced to recognize the union
and pay living wage.
The workers employed in the cleo.
trical industry are all paid a miser.

the signal for general organization
