Papcun was arrested for speaking

GARMENT WALK
OUT 100 Per
Cent perfect
Watch for Scab Work
in Other Cities

NEW YORK, July Con the Sec
ond day of the cloakmakers' strike
here, not one of the 1900 shops in
New York City and vicinity remained
in operation. Forty thousand workers
walked out on July 1. This is the
eighth strike since the tie-up of 1910,
when the organized workers won rec
ognition for the principle of collective
bargaining in the industry,
In past strikes, strike leaders of the
International Ladies Garment Work
ers' Unioai point out, it was necessary
to send out committees to cover weak
spots here and there; but this time
such procedure is unnecessary. And
this time there is no argument as
to the completeness of the walkout;
the two trade dailies, the News Rec
ord and Womens Wear, and the reg
ular dailies, all report a 1000 strike.
Had to Strike.
This strike was inevitable" declar-
ed union officials. "The jobbers who
control most of the trade, and the
manufacturers who are half jobbers,
have made it unavoidable. The misery
of the cloak workers, their inability
to make living in the shops, their
intolerably long periods of unemploy-
ment, and the general decentralization
in the industry fostered by the jobber
system of production, have left for
the cloakmakers no other avenue of
relief but to strike for their demands.
These demands are moderate and
reasonable. The cloakmakers want a
Limitation of the number of contrac-
tors to be employed seasonally by the
jobbers; that would regularize and
stabilize the trade. Cloakmaking does
not need thousands of petty, wasteful,
mushroom-growth shops to satisfy it's
legitimate demands. The good of the
industry, welfare of the workers, and
needs of consumers can be satisfied
by half the number in existence.
What Strikers Demand.
THE cloakmakers want aguarantee
of 36 weeks of employment per year,
which is certainly not an exorbitant
demand for supporters of families to
ask. They want a wage increase and
a 4O-honr week as measures that
would tend to raise their earnings and
lengthen the incredibly short work
seasons in the shops.

THREE MORE
SHOPS SETTLE
WITH FURRIERS
Bosses Seek to Break
Strike with Injunction

Three more shops have settled
with the striking fur workers here
granting the demands of the union.
Picket lines have been established be-
fore the struck shops. Yesterday
morning the pickets entered the shops
to see if any of the workers were at
work. The picket committees were in
structed to bring union workers out Of
those shops that had not settled with
the union.
The union has ben served with no.
tice to appear before Judge Oscar
Hebel in injunction proceedings. The
bosses seek to break the strike thru
an injunction. The date for the in
junction case has not yet been set as
yet.

WILLIAM GREEN. president of the
w American Federation OF Labor,
speaking for the executive council,
has Issued another statement de-
nounclng the Communists. From a
reading OF this statement II appears
that the reason the Communists are
denounced and the trade unions warn
ed against them is because they are
helping to fight the battles OF the
workers against the bosses.
The burden of President Green's
complaint is that the Communists are
actively supporting the efforts to
raise funds in the trade unions for
support OF the 10000 striking work
ers at Passaic, New Jersey, and for
support OF other labor struggles.

Claim 1900 Out.
Strike leaders say the number of
switchmen and lmotormen out, total
1900. The company will not say how
many are out, but Frank Hedley, man
ager OF the company admitted that the
service was so per cent off. Earlier he
had claimed that it was rs per cent
normal.
Confusion prevailed on all sides as
the hundreds of thousands tried to get
to their places of employment. Under
normal conditions 100000 habitually
use the Interborough.
The huge throngs used every means
of conveyance TO get to work They
took street cars, taxi cabs. automobiles
and busses and the IL" lines. Some
even used bicycles. The other main
subway, the Brooklyn-Manhattan
Transit, was running as usual but it
was taxed far beyond capacity. Thous-
ands walked to their places of en-
ployment.
Few Trains Run. u
BY nine o'clock the strike had made
itself felt with terrific emphasis
Thousands milled in confusion at the
principal subway stations. unable to
get ON the few trains that were run
ming on the PETERBOROUGH line.
A drizzling rain fell during the
morning adding to the Inconvenience
of the thousands struggling to get to
work.
Office routine was disrupted as al
most every employe in the city was late
in getting to work, some of those who
had to walk being several hours late.
Strike May Spread.
Early reports were that 752 motor
men and switchmen of the subway had
responded 100 per cent TO the strike
call. Leaders of the union declared
that the strike would spread. Some
of them asserted that a total of $500
employees of the marlborough, includ-
ing powerhouse men, station agents,
porters, guards and conductors, had
joined the ranks of the strikers,
Recruit Scabs Here.
Non-union traction workers were
being recruited in Chicago today for

ing more than $50 scabs was reported
TO have left here for New York late

Berger Statement.
"Sacco and Vanzetti were labor or
ganizers," he said, ''and as such they
incurred the enmity of the mill own
ers :. In 1920, when the feeling
against them was running high, they
were tried and convicted of murder,
and sentenced to die. Many things oc-
CURED at the trial, and some have oc-
CURED since, that have served to
create q serious doubt In the minds of
those who have studied the facts that
these men are guilty. The reported
admission by the states star wit
nesses who identified Sacco as a gun
man, that they perjured themselves,
has served to increase the doubt.
"The impression has been created
that only handful of radicals, of the
most extreme type. are agitating the
question and are protesting the in
nocence OF the two men. That is UNI
true. The organized labor movement
as represented by the American Fed

on record as favoring a new trial,
