INJUNCTION HITS
HARTFORD STRIKE
OF UPHOLS TERERS
Capitalist Courts Ready,
Tool as Usual


HARTFORD, Conn, Oct. 10 (By
Mail) Attic Sunday is considered a
day Of peace and rest 1t did not stop
the Dworkin concern from working
overtime and bringing an injunction
against the workers on strike. Just
before the noon meeting of the strik-
ers Sunday, October 10, 1925, an in
junction was served on Morris VOL
berg, president of the upholsterers'
union.
Judge Marvin has signed this tenn
porary Injunction on the following
charges:
That the employees are not dissat-
is1ed with the conditions.
None Of them belong to the union
nor have any desire to join one.
Always a Conspiracy"
That the conduct OF the defendants
result from an unlawful conspiracy
seeking to prevent the present en-
ployes of the plaintiff from working
there.
The temporary injunction restraints
Local No. S5 or their associates from
inducing or attempting to induce any
person now employed to leave his en-
ployment, from congregating or loiter-
ing upon or in the neighborhood of
the plaintiffs business or upon or in
the neighborhood of the homes Of the
employees Of the plaintiff.
Workers Cursed At and Beaten.
This ridiculous charge against the
union, which conducted itself in a
very orderly manner, was refuted by
the strikers. This shows the weak
ness of the bosses and the pressure
from the furniture dealers for goods
that the company cannot supply. The
claim that the workers in the Dwor-
kin shop did not desire a union, and
that they were perfectly satisfied witn
their conditions was shown UP when
about fifteen workers of the same
shop who are on strike and were pres
ent at the meeting testified that this
is a lie.
The workers showed up the rotten
conditions that they have to work un-
der. the unsanitary conditions. They
said that they were treated like slaves,
they were cursed, and sometimes
beaten by the bosses. All these
things forced them to go out and
fight for better conditions and join
the union.
Fight Harder Than Ever.
It is only the third day Of the strike
and the shops are all tied up. The
bosses are firing their last guns, and
the union Is prepared to meet it.
Financial support was promised by the
labor organizations OF Hartford and
by sympathizing organizations.
The organizer of the union, Hyman
Wolfson, declared that this injunction
will not stop the union from fighting
and that they are now more than ever
ready to fight the bosses and their in
functions and bring the strike to vic
tory.
The young American boys and girls
who make up the strikers are deter
mined to stay out and fight.

William T. Coston, of Hong Kong,
China, arrived in this country on
Monday last after remarkably short
trip, having left China on April 16.
Mr.. Costen is the son of E. S. Cos
ton and the late Mrs. Costen, this
city, and has been in the East for
three years in the employ of the Stan,
dard Oil Company. His headquarters
were formerly at Canton, but the re-
cent war made things very uncom-
Portable there, and he was removed to
Hong Kong.
AS soon as Mr.. Costen arranges
business matters with his firm in New
York, he will come to Pocomoke with
his family, consisting of his wife and
boy, and will remain here for a few
months before returning to his work

the people there as pleasant, the eli
mate agreeable, and his work inter-
esting. While here, he will visit his
father who resides on a farm near
Cokesbury.

Attendance Officer Lucy N. Stage,
Pocomoke City not only has dropped
below the average, in the matter of
attendance, but also stands at the
bottom of the list of county high
schools, with an average of 91.9. The
other schools in their order are: Ocean
City 95.7; Stockton 95.1; Snow Hill,
94.9; Berlin 92.5. With the exception
of Ocean City all the high schools
show a higher average for April
1926 than for 1925, Ocean City falling
back only two points.
1t must be said, however, that all
these averages are creditable, and
fewer than four points divide the
highest from the lowest. Last place

PENINSULA OF PLENTY I
DEL-MAR-VA SLOGAN
Four Contestants Submit The Same
Theme. Prizes Awarded
Winners

''The Peninsula of Plenty" has been
selected as the slogan for the Del
Mar-Va Eastern Shore Association, in
it's recent contest, according to an
nouncement made by DIR. G. Layton
Grier, of Milford, Del, chairman of
the Publicity Committee of the Asso-
citation. .L
The selection was made from about
1900 slogans submitted from all sec
tins of the Del-Mar-Va Eastern Shore.
It's final adoption came about after
the committee and judges gave care
full consideration to a large number
of slogans which appeared suitable.
There were four contestants in the
slogan campaign who submitted "The
Peninsula of Plenty" and the COM
mittee in charge of distributing the
fifty dollar award decided to divide it
equally among them. They are: Err
nest J. Otteni, Delaware Credit Com
pany Tenth, and Orange street, Will
mington, DEL; Jean B. Barnet, Prin-
cess Anne, Md; A. j. Matthias, Green
bush, Va; and j. M. Trammell, Prin-
cess Anne, Md. Checks in proportion
ate amounts are being mailed to the
winners by the Association.
Talking of the contest Dr.. Grier
said that it aroused keen and wide
spread interest in every section of the
peninsula and that it was difficult in
deed for the committee and judges
to reach final decision because of the
many excellent suggestions offered.
''The committee feels that it has
made perfect selection, for the Del
Mar-Va Eastern Shore is. indeed a Pc
ninsula of plenty. This four word
slogan carries a great message, for
We know it as truth, a big outstand-
ing truth, and it will stand up under
the most critical examinations" DR..
Grier said. ,:t. ..
