IF YOU have thought of Prince Albert as
tobacco for pipes only, you've heard only
half the story. Just take this for all wool

its fragrance on the air. | ought to know!
First of all, P. A. is crirnp-cut, which
means that it rolls easier and burns better.

here that the character of the scabs
and the gunmen in national guard

Joint Board Keeps Stand Against And-Union Injunction
Senate Meets
IN Secret to
Dust Johnson

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla, Dec. %.
Fearful lest the state militia and
county sheriff's office disband them,
members of the Oklahoma senate con-
vened in secret session, somewhere
in the Lee Huckins hotel here, this
afternoon, writ for the suspension of
Gov. Henry S. Johnson, whose admin
istration has been under fire of the
legislature for more than one month,
was before the body.
Only few of the senators were
advised in advance of the secret meet
ing place, and these escorted their
colleagues, one by one through devious
routes to avoid on-lookers and re-
porters, to their "sanctum sanctorum.
The Oklahoma legislature has
charged the governor with graft and
incompetency, and various other high
crimes. The governor says the legis-
lature has entered into the plot of the
cement trust to "get" him. The gov
ernor called out the militia to stop
the legislature from meeting to i'm

The union miners are unanimous in
the opinion that such methods cannot
be regarded as having anything in

the strike.
The adjutant general made another
accusation that "snipers" are firing

proof of the firing. He claims that
three men fired upon national guard

TO CARRY
FINE RULING To
SUPREME court
Defense to Place Issues
Before All Labor

Determination to oppose the ruling
in the injunction case against leaders
of the New York Joint Board of the
international Ladies Garment Work
ers' Union, made yesterday by Judge
Erlanger, with penalties totalling
$4,000, was voiced yesterday by
Charles Zimmerman speaking for his
associates of the Joint Board.
From other needle trades leaders q
similar line of policy was forthcom-
ing. 1t is the intention to carry the
case to the U. S. Supreme Court If
necessary and to organize back of the
defendants a powerful mass defense
which will place the vital issues in
volved before the entire labor move
ment, according to Zimmerman.
To Appeal.
Pointing out that acceptance of the
Erlanger decision, which was made
public before counsel for the defense
was notified, would mean surrender
of the right to organize, strike and
picket and would establish a prece-
dent which could and would be used
to cripple other unions, Zimmerman
said.

this deliberate attempt of Judge Err

FILIPINO LABOR
CONTINUES FIGHT

Dissolution of the "Legionarios del
Trabajo," the largest secret fraternity
of labor in the Philippine Islands, has
been followed by the organization at
Manila of a new order, dedicated to
the principles of Bonifacio and of DR..
Sun Yat-sen."
According to information which has
reached the U. S. headquarters of the
All-America Anti-Imperialist League,
80 Union Square, New York, the new
organization is called "Legionarios
del Pueblo" (The Peoples Legion
naires). Its aims, as officially set
forth, are:
Work for independence.
"To work vigorously and unceasing-
ly for the political and economic indie
pendence of the Philippines; to pro-
! mote and propagate the ideas of ma
tionalism, and to work for the well
sSare and emancipation of the laboring
class of the islands"
The Legionarios del Trabajo was
organized to carry on the traditions
of the old Katipunan. 1t did not al
ways do this successfully; and espe-
cially in recent years, had shown a
tendency to degenerate more and
more.
Dedication of the new Legionarios
del Pueblo to the principles of Boni-
facio and DR.. Sun Yat-sen would seem
to indicate that the old spirit is by no
means dead, but is on the contrary
reinforced and broadened by the in
fluence of the Chinese revolution.

TAXI men FACE
POLICE CONTROL

Nearly three hundred cases were
tried at the Hack Trials Bureau, 165
Greenwich St., in the week ending
Tuesday, Dec. 9th, according to rec
ords compiled by DAILY WORKER
reporter. These cases of arrested
taxi drivers brought up on various
charges before Inspector Cummings
constitutes record of those so far
drawn into the incessant police drag
net.
Persecute Taxi Drivers.
Nearly 150 of those who appeared
received from one day to thirty days
suspension; large number had their
charges against the taxi drivers were
of the most trivial character. A fire.
quent charge was that made by en-
ployers of drivers who claimed re-
ceipts not turned in. 1t is learned
that this is usual resort of some
bosses who desire to intimidate or
punish their workers for some
imagined or actual offense, entirely
unrelated to that charged.
There is no union organization
among the $4,000 taxi drivers in
Greater New York and to this cause
the workers attribute the discrimina-
ton practiced upon them from every
direction. The International Brother
hood of Teamsters has been criticized
for failing utterly to attempt the or
ganization of the taxi drivers.

CONVICT SEVEN
IN NEWARK MEET

Heaping denunciation upon his YER
dict of guilty, Judge Howe in the
fourth precinct court in Newark yes
terday imposed fines on seven work
ers who participated in the suppressed
Newark celebration of the tenth an
niversary of the Russian Revolution
Nov. 13.
eff it were not for my respect for
your lawyer, | would give you the
limit" Judge Howe told the defend
ants. II have no use for un- American
people, such as you are. If you don't
like it here you ought to get out of
the country. 1t is too crowded here
anyhow"
Criticism Taboo.
Judge Howe referred proudly to his
own service in the United States army
and said no destructive criticism of
the government or of capitalism would
be permitted by the workers of New
ark in the future.
The chief of police, who ordered the
suppression of the Nov. 13 meeting,
also gave defense counsel to under
stand that no permit would be granted
for a Lenin memorial meeting under
the auspices of the Workers (Commu-
nist) Party in Newark January 27.
The seven defendants were Patrick
Toohey, Emil Gardos, Irving Matlin,
Harry Fox, Louis Jaffe, Constant
Bobke and Albert Lederman. The In
ternational Labor Defense paid $25
fine for each as well as the defense
costs. An original charge of unlaw-
full assemblage had been reduced to
lettering.
Detectives Figure.
1t was learned at the trial that the
attitude of Judge Howe was traceable
in part to reports by detectives of ad-
dresses by W. w. Weinstone and Juliet
Stuart Poyntz, of the Workers Party,
at a Russian Revolution anniversary
celebration for which the Newark po-
lice finally issued permit Dec. II.
The "limit" under the Newark law
which the judge was anxious to inn
pose in this case is years imprison-
ment. Counsel for the defense was
John Larkin Hughes. The prosecu-
tion is reported to have advised the
judge that it did not believe the limit
in this instance was practicable.
