MASS PICKETINC
OF BARRIERS HAS
BOSSES SCARED
Fifty Girls Join Union
as Strike Spreads

The Master BARRIERS Association of
the Bronx was weakening yesterday
afternoon as result Of two days Of
mass piclIeting on the part of BARRIERS
Union, Local $50, that called a strike
Of all the BARRIERS and beauty parlor
workers Of the Bronx on Monday
morning.
A motion that separate agreements
be signed with individual bosses was
shouted down by crowded meeting
OF strikers held yesterday afternoon
at Mckinley Square Gardens, 1858
Boston Road. The opinion Of the as
sembled workers was to continue on
strike together and return to work
as one. The proposal was that the
returning workers donate two DAYS
pay a week as long as the strike
lasted
Among the few BARRIERS shops that
is attempting to continue in defiance
OF the strike is Tameolin, 10 Jerome
Ave. The DAILY WORKER has re-
ceived an unconfirmed report of pick
cts being attacked at an Italian bar
Der shop in the Bronx when they
asked the workers to join the strike.
According to an arrangement with
the union, when a barber shop has
two bosses they can divide the work
among them, one working in the morn
ing and the other in the afternoon.
Since the strike started, the union has
been informed of many cases where
both bosses are working at the same
time. Arrangements are being made
to picket these shops.
There were six arrests yesterday on
the picket line, four men and two
girls being taken to court and re-
leased on bail. Strike leaders reported
that more than so girls joined Local
$50 during the day, and many more
recruits are expected as interest and
enthusiasm grows.

would be determined at another ses-
sion Of the Executive Board which is
to be held today.
Local l has been on strike since
April 1st, and their walkout resulted
in the lockout of all plumbers in the
other city boroughs. Newspapers yes

of their grievances. No confirmation
or denial Of this was given by Execu-

ATTACKS DRIVER
HELPING union
North American Strike
Test Case

Attacked by the president of the
Laundry Owners Association, Max
Freeman, union driver for the
Ready Laundry Service planned yes
terday to swear out a warrant for
assault.
Freeman declares he was attacked
by Adolph Loewe, the associations
head and several plugugIies while on
his route. His offense evidently was
in loyalty to the Laundry Drivers
Union, which is involved in hot
strike against the North American
Laundry in Harlem. Freeman had
asked housewives to patronize union
laundries only, arousing Loewe's no
tility.
That the North American strike is
a test Of strength between the union
and the bosses was the belief ex-
pressed yesterday by Max Brodie.
business agent of Laundry Drivers
Local $40. Although the agreement
did not expire until June II, the boss
began firing union men without re-
course to the machinery provided in
the contract.
When it became apparent that the
North American was intent on
destroying the union, strike was
declared. The Negro laundry work
ers walked out with the white driv-
ers. Twenty-onc drivers and % wo-
msn are involved. Other contracts
expire in the near future and the
laundry drivers are preparing for
possible strikes on a city wide scale.
Brodie viii appear in magistrates
court today on a picketing charge
while several other union members
face trial in special sessions.
The bosses are making use of la
Dor strike-breaking agencies, Brodie
charges. Before the strike, several
known strike-breakers tried to get
admission to the union, in prepar-
alton evidently for the walkout. Re-
fused admission, they were rushed
into service as soon as the regular
drivers struck.

Effort to DepOrt
Italian Worker in
U. S. 3 Years

The rights of seamen, as we'll as
the integrity of United States laws.
are not at stake in the case Of Mauro
La Russo who is being threatened
with deportation because he is an
anti-fascist.
La Russo who entered as a seaman,
has been in this country more than
three years, and the law says no alien
who has been here more than three
years can be deported for unlawful
entry Technically he cannot be de-
ported for being opposed to Mussolini
but that is really what the authori-
ties are trying to do.
When his case came to court, the
judge ordered that the writ be sus-
tanned releasing him. However, the
United States government has taken
an appeal, and the case viii be argued
some time this month in a further
effort to send him back to Italy.
Test Case
Isaac Shorr is defending La Russo,
and he points out that if the govern
ment should succeed IN this depo1ta-
ton case no seaman who has remained
in this country would be safe, in spite
Of the law. Various attempts to leg
alize this power to deport aliens many
years after they have entered this
country, have been made in the anti
alien bills introduced into congress
during the past five years. 1t is the
sort Of legislation being fought by the
National Council for Protection of
Foreign Born Workers. In the case
of La Russo, the government is not
even waiting for passage of a law to
justify them in their action.
