Dear Sir:
/ wish TO acknowledge receipt of
the copy Of Red Cartoons which was

READING SHOP
OF N. Y. FIRM
JOINS STRIKE
Garment Union Finds
Cops and Courts

READING, Pa, Oct. 5.-When strik-
ing members of the international Lad
les Garment Workers union came
down from New York to look into the
scab shop of the Lorraine company at
18th and Marion streets, they found
the Reading police as active for the
garment capitalists as those in Man
haitian. They even met an injunction.
The company moved to Reading
with a few professional scabs about
July / and offered Reading workers
$14 for a 81 hour weeks work. This
was lovely, as in New York before the
strike wages were far above the sweat
shop rate the company offered in Read
ing.
Form Union From Strikers.
Together with seven Reading labor
officials. connected with the Federated
Trades Council, led by J. Henry
Stump, president the strikers began
= picket the shop and pulled out As,
or about half of the workers, mostly
women, of which local l. L. G. w.
uion was formed.
While so engaged, some Of the
gangsters kept on hand by the com
pany rushed out Of the shop and as
saulted the pickets, and the police con
veniently coming, arrested them, labor
leaders and all, for "disorderly con-
duct"
A Little Matter Of Politics.
Police Magistrate William T. Sny-
der, who admits he didn't know the
law, obligingly fined the batch 1925
each on the charge. But stump, who is
a perennial socialist candidate for
mayor figured that the whole thing
was unconstitutional and told the May
OF w. E. Sherman, his democratic op-
poser in the last election about 1t.
Sherman naturally didn't want any
ammunition like this for the next
campaign in the hands of his opposition
so he, let the strikers go free and re-
turned their fines.
Injunction Appears.
But the story didn't end there. In
the name of Hyman Goldberg, who
appears as the owner of the shop, an
injunction was issued restraining both
the local labor officials and the strik-
ers who came from New York, from
picketing the shop.
The usual charges of threatening"
employees and circulating handbills
were the basis for the petition. There
is no strike" says the petition, and
argues that the pickets used "viol-
ence." -
Stump of the Trades Council de-
MES this, and goes very far indeed to
prove that he advocated only humility
as strike weapon.
Christ has Nothing on Stump
Il warned our pickets that there
would be violence attempted by this
firm. / told them on no account to
return blow, but to let their hands
hang at their sides if blows were
struck"
Pending decision on the injunction,
no pickets will be posted although al
lowed by the state law.
