Scab Attacks Paper
Box Organizer, Then
Whistles for Police

George E. Powers, organizer Of the
Paper Box Makers Union that has
been conducting a strike for the past
sixteen weeks, was arrested with
George Bridgeman, union member
on the charge of beating up a scah
named A. Cooperman.
They were arrested by Patrolman
George Aschenbeck, of the Clinton
Street Station and brought before
Magistrate WE'LL, in the Essex Mar
ket Court, where they were released
on $500 bail each. Their case will
come up for trial Wednesday morn
ing, January 90, when they will be
defended by William Karlin, attor-
ney for the union.
In a statement to The DAILY
WORKER, Powers stated that the
claim of Cooperman was a lie.
"Bridgeman and myself went TO his
home at Sd Orchard Street to try and
persuade him not to be a strike
breaker, but instead to join the other
workers in the fight against the bos-
SEES" said Powers. when we were
trying to convince him, he suddenly
attacked Bridgeman. l tried to stop
him but we soon saw it was useless
SO we started to leave. He then blew
police whistle and had officer
Aschenbeck place us under arrest"
An attempt to settle the paper
box makers strike will be made at
a joint meeting of the Citizens Com
mittee of One Hundred, delegates
from the PaperbOx Makers Union,
and Representatives Of the manufac-
turers, to be held at the Bar Associa-
ton Building, AZ West 44th St, next
Tuesday.
The paperbox makers strike is now
in its seventeenth week, with the
workers still vigorously fighting the
bosses attempt to break up the union.
By their planned disruption Of the
New York union, manufacturers hope
to keep the paperbox makers all over
the country unorganized.
Jacob Bilkoff is coming in from
Philadelphia to act as chairman at
the conference, which was demanded
when public indignation was aroused
by the brutality Of the police toward
the strikers.

In Spain the bOurgeoisie court of
justice acts in the most arbitrary
manner. The trials come three or
four years after committing delin-
quincy, and frequently the prosecutor
demands penalties less than the time
has already elapsed in Imprisonment
The defendants are forced to confess
by all kinds of brutal methods of the
"guardia civi".
Some months ago it was brought
to the light the innocence Of two
workers who were y years in prison,
condemned for murder. But the
dead" has been found alive. The two
had confessed to being assassins by
the terrible abuse of the police.
Against Communists.
Since 1920, when the Spanish Com
munist Party was organized it has
not been possible for the Party to
function openly. 1t has always been
considered an illegal organization.
Just the fact that person is a mem
Der of committee, speaking as a
Communist in trade union as
sembly, or the reading of our organ
"La Antorcha". is considered a crime
and enough for Imprisonment.
Some few days ago in Barcelona
our comrades, Oscar Perez Louis,
Joaquin Maurin, Alberto F. Perez,
Salas, Victor Colome and others were
accused of a terrible crime; they
intended to form a Communist fede-
ration. They have been sentenced to
three years in prison and were not
even allowed to defend themselves.
The condemned comrades are our
Party's most active and capable menu
bers. The design of the military
court was to separate from the work
ingclass struggle combatants as de-
termined as were those comrades. In
all Spanish jails there are numerous
Communists, separatists, and syn

Suspend KalpOkas for
Lese Majesty; Local
Desires Investigation
BY SYLVAN A. POLLACK.

ny . lLf AN "A. IOLLAOk.
Abraham Beckerman and his
clique have added another notch on
their gun by suspending the regular
elected business agent of Local Sd,
Amalgamated Clothing Workers of
America.
This action was taken because he
was not supporting that union
wreclSing crew in their fight against
the militant and left wing forces in
the local labor movement.
Recently Reelected.
Business Agent, F. Kalpokas, was
recently reelected by an over
whelming vote in his local, which did
not please "Mussolini" Beckerman.
So Kalpokas was brought before the
joint board and charged with dis
tributing a leaflet denouncing Beck
ermanism.
Kalpokas vigorously denies that he
gave the leaflet to the right wing
spy, or made the alleged statement,
that Beckermanism destroys the
union.
Beckerman then demanded that
Kalpokas sign statement denounc-
ing the Workers (Communist) Party
and the Trade Union Educational
League.
While not a member Of either or
ganization, he refused to sign that
yellow Dog" document. Infuriated,
Beckerman then had his hand-picked,
and gangster controlled joint board
suspend Kalpokas from office.
When the members of Local 81
were informed Of this action, they
passed resolution at their meeting
by vote of 219 to 16, demanding
an impartial trial and a complete
investigation of the entire question.
A committee of three, consisting
of J. Buivydas, V. Charnauskis and
A. Andrulis, were elected, with in
structions to appear before the next
meeting of the joint board, and see
that the rights of the membership
Of Local 81 are upheld.

In New York, where different
kinds of light industry are concen-
trated, we find that large percen-
tage of workers are young. We have
various industries where only young
workers are employed. Especially
in the large shops where new mach
merry is being introduced hundreds
and thousands of young workers are
miserably underpaid. The majority
of these young workers do not re-
ceive enough pay to live on decent
ly. They are forced to give up ac-
tual necessities of life. They cannot
even secure the necessary food,
clothing and shelter
. Speed On Pencils
In the Eagle Pencil Co., where
about 1000 young workers toll I'M
der miserable conditions, where the
speed-up system is highly developed,
one worker is forced to work on
three and four machines, for which
he gets only from $14O0 to $500
week.
In the Freshman Radio Co.,with
hundreds of young workers under
paid, they toll eight and three-quar-
ter hours a day for the starvation
wage of $4,000 to $500 a week.
At the same time. this company
made last year profit of $780,
$4,000.
Tricks of Efficiency.
In the Fred Isman Radio Co., with
5000 workers employed seasonally,
the conditions are unimaginably rot
ten and unsanitary. A young worker
from this shop writes to us the fol-
lowing: "The efficiency schemes in
our shop are one of the tricks of the
bosses. The multiple control system
means that each worker is watched
over by ten or more foremen. We
are squeezed into bench space Ton
the average, ten to fifteen on a
bench made for five). Racks are
piled in back and in front so that
there is hardly space to breathe in.
There is no flue system to. carry

Liebknecht Day Meet
DenOunces Nicaraguan
Steal in Resolution

More han 500 young workers and
students attended the mass meeting
called by the Young Workers (Com-
munist) League of Dist. 2. at Stuy-
vesant Casino, New York. The meet
ing was held to commemorate the
9Th anniversary of the death of Karl
Liebknecht and Rosa Luxenburg.
Comrade Schapp, the chairman of
the meeting, sounded the note for the
entire meeting when in his introduc-
tory remarks said that at this time
when American marines and war
ships had been sent to Nicaragua,
and a war was threatened with Mex
leo, that we should learn the lessons
taught us by that valiant fighter
against German imperialism and mil
itarism, Liebknecht.
Comrade Frankfeld, the first
speaker, gave a short review of the
life and activities of Karl Liebknecht.
Liebknecht was the first to realize
the Importance of the working class
youth in the class struggle, and did
not abandon the principles of Marx
ism during the World War but agi-
tated among the soldiers and workers
against the war.
The next speaker was Pioneer.
He was greeted with cheers and Wig
orous applause from the pioneers and
the audience. He told of the strug-
giles Of the Pioneers in the schools and
that the Pioneers were doing their
bit by following in the footsteps Of
Karl Liebknecht.
Comrade Don, the District Organ
izer of the Y. w. H., spoke next. He
stressed the necessity Of building an
organization to fight against mill
tarism, to build the Young Workers
League, and to carry the fight into
the schools and into the factories.
He showed that the young workers
who are exploited in the shops and
factories have nothing to gain from
engaging in the work of the i'm
perialists who want to exploit the
colonial peoples as well.
Comrade Fam, who has just re-
turned from Soviet Russia, was the
last speaker.
He told Of the heroic struggles Of
the peoples in Morocco and Syria last
year. This year it is the people Of
Nicaragua, China, and Mexico that
are demanding national independence.
He told of the activity Of the Y. c.
l.. in France at the time Of the Nor
Deco conflict and how Comrade Dor
lot flung the challenge Of defiance of
the young workers and peasants Of
France into the House of Deputies.
At the end Of the meeting a reso-
luton was read by the chairman and
adopted unanimously. II expressed
solidarity Of the young workers in
the meeting with the oppressed peo-
pies Of Nicaragua, languishing under
American marine rule and the people
of Mexico, threatened with invasion
from the United States.
