Ltvinoff Proposal Creates Panic in Foreign Offices
WORKERS IN 20
SHOPS MOBILIZE
AGAINST BOSSES
Garment Workers Form
Picket Line

A general mobilization of the lock-
ed out members of Local Al of the
International Ladies' Garment Work
ers' Union took place yesterday after
non at the Joint Board office, 16 W.
21st St. They were locked out dur
ing the last two weeks due to their
refusal to register with the right
wing dual union established by the
reactionary elements of the l. l.. G.
w. U.
The assembled workers pledged
themselves to conduct an aggressive
picket line at each of the 20 shops
where lock-outs have been declared,
They were addressed by M. E. Taft,
manager of Local Al; Rose Wortis
of the Joint Board; Harry Berlin Of
Local 10, l. L. G. W. u, and A. Wise,
business agent of the Joint Board.
The speakers told of strikebreaking
by the right wing in the cloak and
dress industry and warned the work
ers to expect similar action.
More Lockouts.
Right wing committees were active
in the market yesterday. The work
ers of the C. & C. shop, 40 W. 25th
St., and the Seigel- Windy shop, 161
w. 23rd St., were driven out of their
shops by the right wingers who at
tempted to force them to go to the
right wing office for registration.
The workers ignored the threats
and went instead in a body to the
office of Local IL. After comforting
with the local union officials, strikes
were called iii both shops.
Drive Out Rights.
When right wing committee Wis
tied the Advance shop, 100 w. 38th
ST., its members were driven out by
the workers, however. This is an in
dependent contracting shop whose
agreement with Local Al will not ex-
pire until Jan. Is.
So great is the vigilance of the po-
lice in behalf of the employers that
Rose Missner who is not affiliated
with the union or the strike, was
placed under arrest when she stopped
to talk with a friend outside the
& D. Co., 48 w. 25th St., where a
lockout is in force.
Discharged in Court.
When taken to the jefferson Mar
ket Court she was discharged.
A general membership meeting OF
Local al will be held Monday evening
after work at Irving Plaza, Irving
Place and E. 18th st.
Arrangements to conduct an ag.
gressive struggle against the employ
ers will be taken up at the meeting,
Taft said.

Thousands of Eyictions.
Within the coming week thousands
of families will be added to the tens
of thousands evicted since Schwab
and Mellon opened the coal war and
began evicting the union miners from
their company houses twenty months
before the Jacksonville Agreement
expired The decision handed down
by the superior court of Pennsylvania
removes the last barrier to mass evic-
ton.
Strikers whose houses were not
bonded have already been eyicted
wholesale. The Pittsburgh Terminal
Coal Corporation injunction enjoined
the union and surety companies from
bonding any houses in the future.
Expelling Whole Communities.
Evictions are heing pushed through
at top speed. Strikers families at all
the Pittsburgh Terminal mines
Avella, Coverdale, Castle Shannon,
Mollenauer-many hundreds in all
will have to be out within the next
few days. In addition miners Of the

Coal Company mines at Puckety Creek
and near Bentleyville, the Harwick
mine of the Harwick Coal and Coke
Company, the Inland Colliery Coal
Company mine at Indianola, and
scores of others throughout the dis
trict.
Terrible Suffering.
Terrible suffering will follow this
bounding of thousands Of families
from their homes in winter unless
those who are with the miners at this
critical turn of the struggle come
swiftly to their aid. Barracks have
to be thrown together hastily because
the time allowed the strikers to va

EVICTION PLAN
"Act of Inhumanity," ("
Says Wire to Fisher
Especial to the Daily Worker).
By AMY SCHECHTER.

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Nov. 30. -
The following telegram was today
sent to Governor Fisher by officials
Of the union in the name of the
wives of the locked-out coal miners
at the Indianola Mine Inhnd Coal
Co, and made public by Philip Muir
ray.
The wire follows:
The Message.
|"The undersigned women, mothers
Of families of locked-out mine work
ers, desire to make a respectful pro-
test to your excellency against the
action of the Inland Coal Co., at In
dianola, Allegheny County, Pa, in
summarily evicting our families from
their homes without giving time for
the mine workers organizations to
erect temporary domiciles into which
we can move.
"We are appreciative of the fact
that the Superior Court of Pennsyl-
vania has handed down a decision
which required the evacuation of
those company houses. 1t is our in
tention to comply with the decision
of the court just as soon as we can
secure other shelter for our children.
The weather is inclement and it will
take some time to erect temporary
barracks.
at would be brutal act of inhu-
manity for the Inland Coal Co. to
set our families and goods and chat
tells in the public road with the
storms of winter upon us. viii not
your excellency, in the name of char
ity, use your influence to have this
coal company stay actual ejectmcnt
for a reasonable length Of time until
temporary homes can be erected?"

by the Soviet delegation.

"The Soviet participated in this

"We want the problem presented in

the spectacular playing of a member

Probably the outstanding player of
the hundred odd who dribbled and
jumped on the court here today, was
Neal Goodman, 10-year-ol forward of
the Gila team. His team beat the
Tulsa Okla, Eagles, 35 to 81 in one
of the most hair-raising contests of
an eventful day.
Goodman, the smallest player on
the floor, accounted Tor 10 of his
teams points, five field goals sped the
ball to his fellow forward, for almost
as many more points and batted down
at least a half dozen apparent pot
shots of the Eagles. The youngster
was. the storm center of all the action
in the game His basket shooting
stood fthe meagre morning crowd on
its feet. He shot from what seemed
hopeless, impossible angles, over his
shoulder while running away from the

British Autom 0 bile
Will Try for Sp eed
Record On Fla. Beach

DAYTONA, Fla. March Is (R-
Sun and tide conditions were found
at their best when Major H. O.. D.
Seagrave, British racing driver, arr
rived here late today with his mys-
terry Sunbeam special racing auto
mobile in which he hopes to set a
new speed record of 200 miles an
hour over the sands of the beach.
A dozen mechanics began work to
place the car in condition for the
trials which are expected to be run
during the week. Major Seagrave
was unable to say definitely when
the automobile will be clocked in
record attempt saying changes in
atmospheric conditions may require
some adjustments.
Strong spring tides have placed the
leach in above the average condi-
ton and the sun s1ants a less glars
ing angle of light on the sands.
Level almost as floor, firm as
concrete, resilient as rubber, the
speedway extends 500 feet wide ID
miles long without an obstruction az
low tide Nowhere else along the
coast does this condition exist on
such scale. The ocean waves, re-
ceding over the almost level beach,
pound it and roll it into it's smooth
and firm surface. On most beaches
this action would not result in hard
cning the sands but scientists ex-
plain that here. the sands, composed
of finest silicon and shell particles
have an angle approaching zero with
the level. This allows the particles
to pack close and evenly.
Nine miles of the beach will be
cleared of traffic and patrolled to
permit Major Seagrave to clock the
Sunbeam for one mile. The pilot
has requested four miles to attain
maximum speed, a mile clocked and
four miles to slow TO a stop.
No inconsiderable part of the man
agement's work will be to keer
chance motorists off the beach 1t
is a favorite pastime for winter
residents and others to our south
from Daytona Beach along the ocean
edge to Mosquito Inlet light house
and north past Ormond and the win
ter home of John D. Rockefeller, Sr.
At the seasons height the sands
often are covered with automobiles
for miles and traffic policemen main
tain strict regulations, except for
speeding. There is no speed limit
on the beach, but reckless drivers
are ordered away. Il.
