Arrest Strike Leader.
Louis Hyman chairman of the Gem
eral Strike Committee, charged that
Carmody is assuming the role ofs
strikebreaker and that the arrest OF!
important strike officials was a des-'
perate attempt to demorahze the strik-
ers. Charles S. Zimmerman, vice-chair-
man of the strike committee; J4B
Boruchowitz, secretary of the strike
committee, and Abe zirlin, chairman
of the strikers relief committee were3
arrested as they headed a procession
of 10000 pickets thru the garment dis
trict. Thru police laundering, the
union claimed, Lyman, who was with
the others at the time, was not arrests
ed tho Capt. Carmody personally visits
ed the picket line and ordered the
wholesale arrests. &AS
Eve feel certain" Hyman declared
"that Capt Carmody is playing al
lone hand, and it was gratifying to-
find that Magistrate Brodsky was not
impressed with the alleged dangers
Of peaceful picketing."
Judge Recognizes Frame-Up.
An affidavit, introduced by counsel
for the Designers Mutual Aid Associa,'
ton in an attempt to have made per-
manent an injunction against the de-
signers union preventing picketingg
was characterized as spurious by coun~,
sci for the defendants before Supremei
Court Justice Cain. A photostatie
copy of an anonymous letter sent by
special delivery to Jacob Seinfeld, a
member of the designers association.
threatening to give him "the works.
if he didn't quit scabbing and purport.
ing to come from the strike picket
committee was considered by Judgs
Cain as an obviously, disguised hand
of man of education, trying to write
like IAN unlettered cloakmaker."
In his argument before Grain, Mrs
Hillquit, who with Morris Rothenberg,
appeared for the defendants, urged
that the complaint be dismissed on the
ground that 1t is made in the name of
ia membership corporation which could
not possibly be an injured party. The
complaint, he added, was the COM
plant Of several individual members
and was not binding on the entire
membership. He warned that the
court would create precedent by is
suing an injunction on behalf of a
number of persons not at all affected
by the alleged injuries. Judge Grain
asked Hillquit to submit his authori.
ties on this point calling it fine point
Of law.
Hillquit, despite argument by Will
liam Klein, counsel for the plaintiff,
declared the union did not countens
ance violence, and maintained that
all vialence to date had been commit
ted by hired gangsters of the ems
ployers.
Hillquit charged Klein with seeking
to prevent all picketing, to deprive the
workers of the right of lawful as
sembly and the use of persuasion in an
attempt to break the strike.
Judge Grain directed to submit
reply briefs within a week, taking the
case under advisement until that
time.
Six more contracts with manufac-
turers were signed by the settlement
committee of the union, bringing the
total settlements to 40.
Mass meetings are being held daily.
Concerts will be given Friday at
Webster and Clinton Halls. Those
on the program will include Mile.
Siroka, Lazar Fried, Henrietta
Schnitzer Samuel Goldenberg and
Martin Wolfson.
Jobbers Break Silence.
For the first time since the strike in
the cloak industry the jobbers have
broken their silence and showed their
hand. In statement issued by one OF
their leaders to the trade press, they
made an open bid for the support Of
the submanufacturers association in
the ightNagainst the union, in return
for which they promised tn esubmanu-
facturers the recognition OF the prin-
ciple minimum cost production"
In this sudden outburst of eraternal
feeling Of the jobbers toward the sub
manufacturers, can be read a plain
indication that the jobbers are begin
ming to feel the pinch OF the strike
pretty badly. Now that they see that
the strike cannot be regarded as a
vacation gift to them, they are at
tempting to scare the manufacturers
association into an alliance against
