Workers Ignore Plea to

The right wing picketing in the fur

According to all indications it will
never take place.
The letters sent out last Saturday
to the New York locals of the Ameri-
can Federation Of Labor asking for
their help in breaking the furriers
strike has brought no response, the
local trade unions refusing to act in
the role Of strikebreakers. This is
seen as a major defeat for the policies

Two Right Wingers Arrested.
Two right wing gangsters were ar
rested yesterday morning at the cor
ner of Sixth Ave. and oath st. They
are Herman Silvers and Jack Regel
They were charged with carrying con
cealed weapons, large clubs being dis
covered up their sleeves. They were
released in $1,000 and $500 bail by
Magistrate Rosenbluth in jefferson
Market Court.
Police authorities stated yesterday
ChaC one OF the reasons Tor the mass
arrests of pickets was to discourage
non-strikers from joining the picket
line. They said that those workers
who picket in the morning before GO
ing to work, lose a days pay when
arrested. In this way the police de-
partment hopes to keep these work
ers from joining future mass demon
strations during the duration of the
strike.
Two Students Nabbed.
Two students we're arrested on the
picket line yesterday morning. When
brought to Jefferson Market Court
they were released. They are Simon

FAIL TO Terribly
WORKERS BY new
ARREST TACTICS
Women Beaten by Cops
In Brutal Orgy
By CHARLES YALE HARRISON.

At 6.45 a. m. yesterday Police Com
missioner Warren's mounted police
went into action. With Gathering
hoofs they galloped up Seventh Ave
nue. and drew rein at the corner of
Thirtieth Street. Their faces were
brutally grim and set. They tugged
viciously at the reins to hold the ner-
vous horses in check.
The fur district was deserted at
this early hour and the police took
advantage Of the empty streets to
post sentries. 200 police on foot were
stationed at fifty-foot intervals along
the affected streets. They were armed
with ugly night-sticks and uglier re-
Wolvers.
This is war-industrial war.
March of Pickets.
At seven o'clock sharp the striking
fur workers began to pour into the
strike area. Within few minutes
thousands of them were parading to
and fro.
Massed picketing-the phrase is
meaningless unless one has seen these
thousands of determined workers
holding their own on the picket line.
Men and women, girls and youths.
Glass war-the phrase is meaning
less unless one has seen these cour-
ageous fur workers viciously dubbed
by the police and knitted by the paid
gangsters of the American Fedora
ton of Labor.
Girls Slugged.
Scores Of girls and men are herded
into hallway and jabbed with night
sticks. Police wagons crash through
tho crowd and back up. The workers
are showed and jostled in amid the
cheers Of their comrades.

street and down the other. In Il one

this morning. Information is offered.

Right wing forces controlling the
fake convention quarreled badly all
morning over whether they should ac-
cede to the first of the unity commit
tees demands: that the 33 delegates
of the joint board unions be heard in
defense against general executive
board charges. President Oizer
Schachtman was bitterly attacked by
Vice President Winnick as a "camou-
flaged progressive" trying to repeat
his compromising of 1925, by which he
was elected president.
The right wing ganged up unani-
mously against Schachtman on his
ruling that the joint board delegates
be heard. In desperation Schachtman
sent out a call for Vice President
Matthew Vol, head Of the A. F. Of
L. committee in charge of attempted
disruption in New York who explained
to the Infatuated right wingers that
it is necessary to give the joint board
hearing in order to preserve the
legality of convention proceedings
against attack in court. Grudgingly
the machine agreed to hear the New
York delegates tomorrow morning
preparatory to expelling the joint
board unions.
As Delegates Join
Forty-eight delegates last night
joined the unity committee to bring
peace and unity within the ranks Of
fur workers. Representing New
York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Boston,
Newark, Montreal, Toronto and Win
nipeg, they spoke for so per cent of
Americas organized furriers.
Harry Highlander, manager of the
Toronto Joint Board, suspended on the
conventions first day as international
vice president because he protested
the seating of the New York right
wingers, was chosen chairman and an
executive board of ID members, rep
resenting each local affiliated, was
elected.
Highlander stated the unity COM
mittee arose from a pre-convention
appeal to all locals to support unity
movement.
New York, containing the bulk Of
the fur workers, Highlander explained,
is the center of the union and the
source of financial strength to help
organization in outlying cities. But

IE-HARDS HIT BY U. S. S. R. BOYCOTT;
LAUNCH RABID PROPAGANDA DRIVE
British Workers Jobless Following Break in
Trade; Wool Barons Lose $25,0O0,000

LONDON, June 15.-Fake reports,
emanating from Warsaw and Riga
about "reign of terror" in the Sow
let Union, are appearing in the Tory
press-and deceive no one but the
Tories.
The reports appearing in the die
hard press are particularly rabid be-
cause British industrialists are con-
ferring with German industrialists
with a view to extending credit to
the Soviet Union. The determined at
titude taken by the Soviet Union, in
declaring an immediate boycott, has
been a severe blow to British trade.
Hysterical Attacks
The conciliatory attitude of British
manufacturers has driven the ex-
IRENE Tory papers like the Daily
Mail into hysterical attacks on the
Soviet Union. Long and ridiculous
accounts Of "Bolshevik terror" appear
daily.
British labor scoffs at these ac-
counts. This afternoon George Bu-
chanan, Labor member Of Parliament
was ordered from the House Of Com
mons for branding as a lie the Tory
statement that the British Govern
mont had nothing to do with spies
recently captured in the Soviet Union.
