VICTORY NEAR IN
12-WEEK'S FIGHT
or The PLUMBERS
Helpers Will Be Brot
Into Union

Victory for the Brooklyn plumbers,
on strike since April /, is seen as a
result of conference between Plumb
ers' Local l and the United Masters
Association, which has announced
that it will employ all of the workers
now on strike beginning Monday
morning.
This independent group of bosses
has broken away from the principal
employers group and has promised to
hire all the workers on the five-day
week, $3.50 day basis. They also
pledge to raise the pay to S13.75 a
day as soon as the rest of the build
ing trades gain the five-day week.
The independent bosses and the
local union also agree to take up the
question of getting the plumbers
helpers into the union before the end
of the year. The independent group
represents n bosses. A. Libsky is
their president
Last nights meeting was held at
Ace Hall, Brooklyn. Thomas Oates,
president of the local, read the report
of the conference committee.

Appeal for Funds to Aid
Nationalist Wounded

SHANGHAI, June 10.-Steps are
being taken here for the organiza-
ton of anti-British and anti-Japan-
csc boycotts.
The rapid advance of the Hankow
Nationalist troops has again brought
to the fore the danger of an open
imperialist war against China and
workers here are arousing popular
sentiment against the purchase Of
their goods.
The proposed boycott is not a move
on part of the right wing supporters
Of Chang Kai-shek who are in con-
troll of the city. 1t is a spontaneous
protest on the part of the masses of
workers who are almost unanimously
in favor of the Nationalist. British
and Japanese trade has already
dropped from Is to 80 per cent in
the last a months.
An especial effort to raise funds
in the United States to aid National
lists troops wounded in the armed
struggle against domestic militarism
and foreign imperialism is being
launched at Hankow.
Readers Of The DAILY WORKER

.CLENCHED FISTS
ANSWER BALDWIN
in SOVIET UNION
Spontaneous Protest
Thunders in Streets
BY J. LOUIS ENGDAHL.
Especial to The Daily Worker).

MOSCOW, U. S. S. Roy MaiD
An intense and mounting wave of
bitter resentment against the grow
ing series of provocative acts of the
Baldwin Chamberlain government in
Great Britain is sweeping over the
Union of Soviet Republics.
The raid on the Soviet Trade Dele
cation in London came on the heels
of the raid by the British puppet,
Chang Tso Lin, on the Soviet embas-
sly in Peking. And now MAY PSI the
Die-hard intention seems to be to
break off all diplomatic as well as
trade relations with the Soviet Union.
This feeling Of Soviet Labor
against the British imperialism that
is plotting the new war against the
Soviet Union, was brought wildly
home to me during the visit to the
"Amo" Plant, Moscow's automobile
works.
"We are going to have a meeting
at quitting time" said Vladimus Vel
esaian.
"What about?" l asked.
about the raid on the offices Of
ARGOS and our Trade Delegation in
London" was the answer.
Sure enough. At that very moment
the great throng of workers was as
sembling outside this very building.
No long speeches were necessary,
The workers had all read the facts
about the raids in their own press.
They had discussed them thoroly
among themselves. There was short
statement by one of the workers.
Then the reading of the resolution.
In an instant, as the reading of the
resolution ended, a billowy sea Of
hands-of clenched fists-rose high
above the throng. The "Amo" work
ers had spoken unanimously against
the British imperialist foe. The res
olutions adopted were as follows:
"The workers and employees of the
factory Amos have learned from the
newspapers and from the report Of
Comrade Shellenbaum, concerning the
new and unheard Of behavior of the

The attempt to place the murderous
attack on Aaron Gross, furrier leader,
last Thursday morning as a fight be-
tween two factions within the Joint
Board, made by Edward McGrady,
American Federation of Labor repre-
sentative, was branded as an utter
falsehood by the Furriers' Union
Joint Board yesterday.
The Joint Board pointed out that
the attorney representing the two
gangsters when they appeared in
court was a member of the law firm
Of Samuel Markowich, counsel for
the International.
According to the latest information
Gross is still in a serious condition.
Two Big Meetings.
The striking furriers held two large
meetings yesterday afternoon. In
spite of the intense heat thousands of
workers damned Webster Hall and
Manhattan Lyceum to capacity.
Amid loud cheering the assembled
workers were informed that since the
strike started last Friday, 80 shops
have signed up with the Joint Board
and six others are expected to sign
very shortly. This is seen as the be-
ginning of the break in the ranks of
the manufacturers.
