Worcester Cops Use
Guns to TGrrOrizG
Workers on Strike

WORCESTER, Mass, May "a
Day by day in every way the strike
of the Building and Common La
borers Of Worcester is becoming
more and more effective. From the
moment the strike commenced on
Wednesday morning, May the 18th,
every member Of the union was on
duty on the picket lines around the
various construction Jobs, A more
happy determined and militant or
ganized body Of workers out on strike
has not very often been seen in this
city before.
The first serious incident of the
strike occurred on the following day
that the strike was declared when
Frederick f. Mute, a superintendent
on the new Horticultural Building
job, in the employ of J. J, Powers, the
most aggressive anti-union contractor,
rushed to the picketers with shovel
swinging in his hand We're it not
for the quick assistance of his fellow
picketers, Frank Dachana, an IS year
old striker would have been struck
fatal blow.
Cops Pull Guns.
A general melee ensued as Patrol
men O'Rourke and Bartholomew
pounced upon the strikers who ran
to assist their brother. Without any
provocation the cops pulled their guns
altho the patrolmen were aided by
score Of passersby who were Of a
middle-class element. Despite all the
provoeation upon the part of the job
superintendent and police the strikers
merely wanted to rescue their fellow
worker, but the cops not only seemed
to delight in pulling their guns, but
wanted to arrest the entire picket
line instead of the superintendent
who attacked the picketers with a
shovel,
Angered by this continued attack
upon them, the strikers, in an attempt
to push off the bullies, knocked the
two officers and the superintendent
on to a pile Of sand, but were quickly
pounced upon by score of cops who
had responded to a riot call sent in
by ]. J. Power, the contractor AS q
result ten strikers were arrested and
booked on various charges such as
assault battery and use Of indecent
language.
The men we're Immediately bailed
out and on the following morning the
court imposed fines Of $1,000 and 500
on each charge. The cases were ap-
pealed.
Meanwhile preparations had been
made for a Joint meeting with the
sister locals 2l0 and 45o Hodcarriers
and Masontanders which was held the
night following The arrests, at Vic
tory Hall. The hall was jammed TO
the doors and the meeting was the
most enthusiastic one held. The ar
rests during the day had angered
every worker and gave added vigor
to the ranks that remained solid.
Frank Lapriore, President of local
210 was unanimously elected Chair
man Of the joint meeting After the
opening remarks by the President of
local 2l0 who ended by demanding
solid ranks and unity of action of all
three locals, Louis Agrippino and
Fede DeBone, international repre-
sentatives spoke. I he crowning
achievement Of the meeting was the

Plans were laid for a committee Of

Despite determined efforts to break

|. L. d. Dance. Success.

NEWARK, n. J., May 24.-On
Saturday evening the combined locals
Of the International Labor Defense of
the city of Newark staged their first
successful dance. Hundreds of work
ers attended, and a jolly good time
was had by all. Pat Devine. the
metropolitan organizer Of the LID,
spoke and was given a rousing re-
ception, The affair was a success
morally and financially. We wish to
thank all our friends who helped in
making the affair a success thru The

Hats and coats flew in the air.
hand clapping, whistling and cheer
ing greeted the passing of the mo-
ton. With the walkout of the other
two locals, six of the smaller eontrac-
tors realized that they We're up
against stone wall so they hurriedly
sigued up and the men went back
to the signed-up jobs. All the other
jobs are tied up completely as the
masons and bIicklayers having no
tenders refuse to accept materials
furnished by seabs. The nasons and
bricklayers are impatient at the con-
tractors refusal to settle with the
laborers and are threatening to join
the strike. Already about 800 men
are out and if the strike continues
until next Wednesday, the Worcester
Building Trades Council will take the
matter up al its regular meeting AT
the Labor Temple.
1t is expected the Building Trades
Council will elect a committee that
will attempt to settle the strike, If
settlement cannot be reached by it's
committee and the contractors, II is
believed that a general strike affect
ing all crafts viii be recommended,
At least this is the Recommendation
that local 620 will bring. Men were
imported from other cities, but went
back again as soon as they learned
that they were brought to scah.
Among the outstanding projects
tied up are the Dormitory at Wor-
cester Tech, Million Dollar Library at
Holy Cross College, The track work
Of the Worcester Consolidated Street
Railway Company, Boston & Albany
round house, st. Mary's Paroehial
School, Our Lady Of the Angels
Church, Lee ST., School, Adams ST.,
School, City Hall Garage, Hortieul-

The latest news is the arrest of
two more strikers and the tie-up of
school job in Shrewsbury, a nearby
town. II the strikers continue the
magnificent activity as they are doing
and no doubt they will, then victory
Is certain.

The predictions covered in the
three points listed above were broadly
hinted at Monday by the Dow Ser
vice Daily Building Reports, the au-
thoritative daily chronicle Of the in
dustry In a special article by Allen
e. Beals, the sweeping admission was
made that the Building Trades EN-
ployers' efforts to Stabilize" wages
and make an example" Of Brooklyn
plumbers strike have failed
They have failed because the build
ing industry has not yet started it's
decline and because the chaos in the
industry does not permit a unified
labor policy to be fully effective, ac-
eording TO the Dow Reports
G. G, Norman, head of the Employ
ers' Association when queried by The
DAILY WORKER yesterday on the
Dow Reports story, snapped q am
not responsible for what the Dow Re-
ports may say"
But he did admit that a full months
efforts to club the Brooklyn strikers
into submission had brought this re-
suit:
1.-The Brooklyn plumbers are still
out to man. and no serious effort is
being made to fiji their places.
2s-The lockout against the Bronx
and Manhattan plumbers, engineered
by this association, has collapsed.
g.. The lockout against the Queens
and Richmond plumbers is being CON
tinued
Local I Proves Correctness,
Thus the militancy and god sense
Of Plumbers Local / last week in re-
fusing to arbitrate the five day week
and the S14 scale demanded in a strike
lasting since April I is borne out by
the official commentators on the IN
dustry itself. Shortly after Local
had voted down overwhelmingly the
international officers demands that
they return to work pending the arbi-
trration proceedings, the Employers
Association called off the Bronx-Man-
haitian lockout, using as an excuse a
week old injunction. At the same time
the international officials hied them
selves back to Chicago.
Building trades workers in Cooper
ative Hall, SAT East 72nd st. last
night reflected the optimistic turn of
events in q demand that the interna-
tisnal union enter negotiations with
the Plumbers Helpers Association,
looking toward their admission into
the union with regular standing. The
building workers also commended Lo-
cal ! and called for renewed support
of the strike in Brooklyn and the
locked out men in Queens and Staten
Island

CHICK FEEDING
Since the chick must absorb the egg
yolk in its body cavity before it takes
food into its digestive tract, it is nee
essary to keep all food, except milk
from chicks until they arc 1T least
as hours old, preferably sixty to sew
enty hours old. Whichever method
of feeding is adopted remember the
following principles must be observ-
ed:
1. Teach them to eat only one
thing at a time.
2. Feed only little at a time anc
feed often, what they will clean VI
in fifteen minutes and feed five times
daily.
8. Keep them hungry except the
last feeding in the afternoon. Let
them go to bed with a full crop.
A. Feed only clean foods thai
have no mustiness about them.
5. Never feed sloppy foods.

There are good commercial chick

Coolidge is Right

President Coolidge, with his unerrln9
instinct for the thought and sentiment OF
the American public is right in calling On
private contributions TO meet the costs OF
the generous relief to Mississippi Valley
flood sufferers. His prompt decision ana
quick action in this vital moment has
met the situation to date and it will meet
it. To do this great work promptly with
out calling Congress in special session Is
an act of leadership of first rank and has
honored America in the eyes of all the
world The amount of the subscription
has been kept elastic TO meet the need.
The emergency has been met with a
promptness realizable in no other way.
The calling Of Congress in special session
is a slow and cumbrous process he who
gives promptly gives twice. Abundaul
relief given by American skill and ready
generosity has come to the sufferers be-
fore the slow formalities of assembling
Congress could be set in motion.
