Green's Agent Pleads
for Light Drinks
tspeeIaI to The paIIy workerl

Especial to The Daily Worker)
WASHINGTON, April "a direct
appeal by organized labor for modi-
fieation of the VoIstead act to permit
sale Of light wines and beer was made
to the senate wet and dry" commit
tee today by William Roberts, per-
scnaI representative of William Green,
president Of the American Federation
Of Labor, at the hearing today. SEN
ator Harreld, republican of Oklahoma,
condueted the session in place Of SEN
ator Means, who Is sick.
The prohibition law, Roberts said,
is being openly disregarded by the
American people and has turned the
country into nation Of law violators.
"Give the people chance to vote on
the ISSUE" said Roberts, land there
will be no doubt of the result"
when the federation meets in con-
ventions each year, it's delegates are
well informed on all subjects that
come before the body, as they know
the attitude of the rank and file," de-
clared Roberts. Therefore, when the
federation conventions declared by
practically unanimous votes that the
Volstead act should be modified il
was in response to the voice of the
rank and file. At every convention the
delegates have freely stated that the
unrest among the wage earners be-
cause of the volstead act is ever-in-
creasing."
Gompers Missed the Beer.
Roberts told of travelling 10000
miles with the late Samuel Gompers.
Every where we went there was
plenty of distilled liquor but seldom
real beer. We found the homes of
the people had been turned into brew
cries and distilleries which turned out
dangerous connections that If drunk
to any extent would ruin the health
of those who drank them. When
asked why they drank such stuff they
said there was nothing else to be OBJ
tanned. They invariably asked when
were members of congress going to
realize that the manufacture and sale
of beer would make for true tenn
perance. Women as we'll as men
were interested in such questioning"
Eighteenth Amendment o. K.
rs it your opinion the consump-
ton of hard liquors would be reduc-
ed if beer and light wines were al
lowed?" asked Senator Reed, D) of
Missouri.
1T certainly is" said Roberts.
"You are not opposing the eight
zenith amendment, them" asked SEN
ator Harreld, (R) of Oklahoma.
mo, not at all" Roberts replied.
I'VE stand for. true temperance and
we believe modification of. the pre-
sent law to permit beers and light
wines is the only way to true tenn
perance."
MesorIey Testlfles.
William ], McSorley, president Of
the building trades department of the
federation, said he favored a law
which will give the working men beer
and light Wines"
"The working man does not believe
the present law is Just or fair" said
McSorley. "He feels that the rich
man. who had enough money, could
stock his cellar and have his drink
of whiskey, beer and wine all his life

Strikers Rally to Fight
Police Brutality

aIl-nght picket line is the answer of
the United Front Committee to the
three attacks by police on picket lines.
I'VE are not daunted, we have just
begun to fight" said Albert Weisbord
in announcing the continuous lines.
The picket line at the Gera mill
was viciously attacked by the police
and Andy Bokowsky, Tony Amazon,
and Stephen Gede arrested and held
under heavy bail. Gede was badly
beaten, as were the others. He suf-
fered decorations about the head and
face.
Attack 1000 Piekets.
A picket line 1000 strong was brok-
en- up in the late afternoon when #
attempted to pass the Gera mill. Clubs

women were trampled and crushed by
horses and by an increased motor
cycle detachment,-all the horror
which has become so sickeningly fam
liar to the strikers in their eleven
weeks of dealing with the rioting
police, were re-enacted. At the time
of writing it was impossible to deter
mine how many were hurt, or how
many we're arrested.
Hide Their Badges.
Police again covered their badges
so that strikers might not be able to
take their numbers and obtain legal
redress for the brutal clubbings. They
then charged the crowd with their
horses, motorcycles and clubs.
An, evening picket line before the
Botany mill was also viciously attack
ed, Helen Bekowsky and Anna Kosh
being arrested. They were beaten and
abused during their arrest.
Establish AII-NIght Picket Line.
The following statement by Albert
Weisbord announced the all-day all
night picket line.

be kept constantly in mind of the public

Europe has turned its eyes on the

were peacefully feeding, to practice
steps under the vigilant eye of their
mother. In the morning they prac-

get the meals. They practiced in the
garnet and in the cellar.
Kitty Doner went into vaudeville
when barely in her teens. and got
a job on the Coast with Rock and
Fulton in THE Candy Shop" Her in
dividual type and clever dancing made
such hit she was engaged to appear r
with AL Jolson in Robinson Crusoe

also in Dancing Around" and THE
Dancing Girl" in which Ted and Rose
also appeared.
She is now doing a single act In
