ly three months more. On his tour he
has come in contact with countless
numbers of workers, who gathered for
his speeches on the Passaic strike, in
which he carried the message OF the
strike to the workers Of all industries.
Great Interest In PassaIo.
There is great interest in the Pas
sale strike, its causes, IT'S results, and
what 1t demonstrated to the labor
movement thruout the country" Weis-
bord said. Everywhere the workers
are eager to learn of the great strike,
he reports. In many cities. even Of
ncials of American Federation Of La
Dor organizations attended the meet
ings and took active part in the dis
cussion, despite the warnings of the
higher-up A. F. of L. officials to stay
away from Weisbord meetings"
Many Buy Pamphlets.
An extraordinary large sale Of
pamphlets on the strike is strong evil
dence of the great interest being dis
played in the strike and the strike
tactics employed, Weisbord points out.
His tour has been real success
both from the standpoint OF awakening
the country's workers TO Passaic and
from the financial standpoints The
workers have contributed to few
causes, as they have for Passaic at
the meetings.
viii Rally to Defense.
Weisbord is travelling while he Is
under indictment on five charges,
Drought against him for his activity
in Passaic. The enthusiasm he has
created will serve, 1t Is felt, to create
a great wave of public opinion In his
favor An case the charges are prose
euted. He is charged with sedition,
ostility to the government. distribu-
Ion OF Communist literature, melting
o riot, and carrying weapons. The
POLITICAL character Of the charges IL
readily seen. An attempt to imprison
he strike leader will undoubtedly be
made, and when It Is, the thousands
4 supporters Weisbord has made on
his speaking tour will rally to his de-
ense. II the charges are upheld,
yeisbord would face a prison sentence
from 6 10 G3 years.

Muscle Shoals Realty
Statesmen Spread Bunk
to Gather In Suckers
BY DANIEL TOWER,
Federated Press.

NEW YORK CITY, Aug. 3.-(FP)-
Workers with savings accounts here
are being urged by smooth-talking
statesmen to buy city" lots at Muscle
Shoals, where, according to reliable
information, there is no likelihood of a
city developing in the next 25 years.
The lots are being offered particularly
to laborers, women in domestic serv-
ice, clergymen and school teachers.
The real estate enthusiasts have i'm
pressively advertised a farmland area
with AZ voters as the pittsburgh of
the South" Lots there are priced
clear up to $500 by the realty men,
although the same lots have actually
been assessed by the tax collector at
$40 each. And the promoters picture
population of 100000 to 100000
springing up like magic.
Not more than 1000 men will be re-
quired if the two nitrate plants are
operated. Those plants are now lying
idle, and will remain so until congress
makes up its mind about their future.
Besides these, the only other tangible
industry at Muscle Shoals is the Will
son Dam, which, even when all IS
units are funcuoning, will require only
about 100 employees.
Investigation revealed little develop
ment in the city" of Muscle Shoals
beyond sidewalks running out of sight
into the woods and few fire hydrants
and sewers. The spot called by one
promoter "the very hub and civic
center of the City of Muscle Shoals"
turns out to be a meadow with tele-
graph pole and farm house in the
background. One so-called business
center is on densely wooded hillside

Los ANGELES
CLEANERS WIN
Their STRIKE
Bosses Grant Demands
of Local 176

LOS ANGELES, Cal, Aug. 3.-"The
most decisive victory of any trade
union in Los Angeles since the world
war;" was the way one labor official
characterized the settlement of the
cleaners and dyers' strike in Los An
geles. One week after the men walk
ed out, tying up every wholesale plant
IN the city, the bosses association,
which had repeatedly refused to rec
ognize the union and negotiate with
it, surrendered and met the strikers
representatives.
The chief demands of the strikers
were conceded to them. They won the
44-hour week, closed shop conditions,
recognition of the union, pay for over
time, equal division of work during
the slack season, equal pay for wo-
men and men, and an increase in
wages ranging from to Is per cent.
The union is now beginning an or
ganization drive among the retail
plants that were not called out on
strike. It is estimated 1000 workers
were out on strike. The strike was
led by Cleaners G. Dyers Local No.
176.
This was the first important victory
for the closed shop in Los Angeles for
a long time, against the combined ap-
position of the Merchants and Manu-
facturers Association, the Los Angeles
Times, and the Chamber of Commerce,
who exert all their influence to force
bosses to repudiate agreements with
trade unions and run their plants on
an open-shop basis. The organized
labor movement of Los Angeles must
now use every effort to unionize the
town and wipe out the American plan.

BAKERY WORKERS
SEEK Pc WER BY
AMALGAMATION
A. F. of L. and Indepen-

NEW YORK, Aug. 3.-CFP)-Amal-
gamation of bakery workers unions
looms as an issue for the Interna-
tional Baker & Confectionery Work
ers' Union convention in New York.
August 8. Already the unions joint
executive board for greater New York
has invited the action of the Amalga-
mated Food Workers independent un-
ion on the question. The board ex-
presses its desire that the interna-
tional convention likewise take up
and act upon the amalgamation prop
osition.
In replying, the kmalgamated
points out that 1t has always worked
toward amalgamation which would
bring one union in the baking indus
try. "The trend of the industry, the
amalgamation of capital, the continu-
ed introduction of new devices in the
production of the baking industry
have left no bakery workers in doubt
Of the immediate need of amalgama-
ton of the bakery workers organiza-
tions," the Amalgamated states.
The independent union suggests
that it's answer be considered a state

bodies with which it would have to
deal in actual amalgamation proceed
