new MANAGEMENT
AT OIL CITY GARAGE
WELL KNOWN OIL OPERATOR HAS LEASED
BUSINESS PLACE; TOOK CHARGE THIS
WEEK; SOME CHANGES MADE

Probably the reason that j.
L. white Wilson did not
depart for Texas as was stated
in this paper a week or SO ago
is due to the fact that he has
leased the Oil City Garage
from ]. w. Elliott and E. Z.
Prouty who have been at the
head Of this Institution since
il opened for business about
year ago.
The new proprietor, Mr..
Wilson, or White as he is
familiar known among his
friends, needs no introduction.
He has been a resident of Kew
in for the past three years. He
has been engaged in oil drill
ing contracting, and until rec
emily he was in charge Of the
J. E. Andrus operations just

Mr.. Wilson informs the edit
or that he will carry on this
business to the best of his abil-
ity, doing everything possible
to satisfy his customers, as he
prefers his motto to be, Sat

son, it is understood, has hired
an expert mechanic to take
care Of the mechanical depart
ment. AT the present time
Ross Scribner is in charge OF
this department, Other help
maintained at this place is c..

partment.
The Oil City will continue
its sale Of International trucks,
while it is not known at this
time what agency will be taxi
en- on for cars, but, perhaps,
they will retain the agency for
Oakland and Pontiac, as the
company has heretofore handl-|
cd this make. Mr.. Elliott, one
Of the retiring proprietors,
will devote his entire time to|
his oil operations and drillingI
activities. while it is not knownl
vet what the undertakings OF
Mr.. Prouty will be. but it is al
sure bet that he will engage inI
something that will keep him
in Kevin.

SICMAN'S CLAIM
OF BIC REGISTRY
LIE, SAYS LYMAN
Bureaucrat's Trickery
And Violence Fail

NEW YORK, Feb. 2. - Exposing
the terrorist methods that have been
used by the International to force
wokers to register, Louis Hyman,
manager of the Joint Board of Cloak
and Dressmakers' Unions, today de-
MED that $4,000 workers have regis
tered with the International, as Nor
ris Sigman, president has stated to
the press.
Very Few Register.
"No such number have gone to reg
lister at the International in spite Of
the terrorist methods that have been
used against the workers to force
registration" he said. 1.-THE best
proof of this is that the International,
while claiming this large majority,
still fears TO allow elections to be
held in the locals, and has further
extended the time for registering in
spite of frequent statements that the
time would expire on the first of the
month. There would he no need to
coax workers in at the last moment
by an extension of time, if they had
been rushing to the International TO
register as Sigman has claimed.
Sigman's Boss Friends.
"Sigman has attempted to force
this registration by every sort Of ter
rorist device. Workers have been dis
charged for refusing to register and
the International has promised special
rewards to employers who will threa-
ten their workers with discharge.
Only today a firm informed me that
Sigman had agreed not to exact the
usual security if the firm would dis
charge workers sympathetic to the
Joint Board.
Business agents of the Interna-
tional have been posing as jobbers,
and have informed sub-contractors by
telephone that no more work would
be given them unless they forced
their workers to register.
Guerillas Tour District.
"Guerillas hired by the Internation-
al have been touring the garment dis
trict in automobiles, attacking work
ers sympathetic to the Joint Board,
beating up pickets, protecting scabs
in shops on strike, and spreading gen.
eral terror.
even with all those strong-arm
methods, the International registra-
ton has been a failure. Many work
ers who have been threatened into
registering have come to the Joint
Board to pay their dues, and tell us
that they are loyal to the officers of
the Joi't Board, and that their reg
istration means nothing. Even if Mr..
Siglnan has secured the 10000 regis
trations he claims, he would find it

daggers to gain the support Of the
members.
20. We ask the Shop Chairmen's
Council to take up the question Of

behalf of our arrested and convicted
brothers.
80. We protest and condemn the
actions Of the international in trying

made to the capitalist press that the
Joint Board engaged gangsters. We
consider this the meanest sort of
provocation that the workers move
ment has ever known.
"a. We approve the plan Of the
Shop Chairmen's Council for carry

ourselves to stimulate interest in

Editor Of American
Nationalist Paper Held
By Chuan Fang General

SHANGHAI, Feb. 2-Francis Zia,
editor of an English language nation
alist newspaper, issued under a South
American registry, has been forcibly
abducted by Sun-Chang- Tang.
This move is believed to be in re-
prisal for the arrest of Kent Wells,
who is connected with another Chin
csc newspaper, which is understood to
be American owned. Wells was ar
rested on a British warrant for re-
fusing to pay taxes and failed to
prove Chinese naturalization.
Zia is held at the headquarters OF
Sun-Chuan-Fang, defender of Shang-
hal, and is threatened with trial for
sedition and possible execution.
Representations by the American
consul have thus far failed to bring

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.-The con-

STRIKERS MARCH
IN STRIKE ZONE
DESPITE POLICE
Workers Hear Engdahl
Before Picketing

Several hundred paper box strikers
participated in a mass picketing de-
monstration last night after their
regular daily meeting at the Church
of All Nations, Second avenue.
Starting at Blocker street, they
marched for one hour through the
entire district in which the strike is
taking place. As they went along po-
lice tried to stop them on several oc-
casions but without success. As they
passed the shops where scabs were
working, they sang Solidarity For
ever" and other working class songs
that became famous during the Pas
sale textile strike.
Wolf Once More.
AS the workers, marching two by
two, headed by George f. Powers,
organizer of the Paper Box Makers
Union, reached the corner of Bleeck-
er and Greene streets, they ssere
stopped by mounted policeman Wolf,
who tried to make the strikers dis
perse. This is the same policeman who
injured Bonchi Friedman, a striker,
several days ago by riding him down.
"Have you permit for this pa
rade?" Wolf asked Powers. He was
informed that it was not parade, but
a picket demonstration. After some
hesitation, he allowed the strikers to
proceed.
Engdahl Speaks.
At their meeting at the Church Of
All Nations, the box strikers were adj
dressed by J. Louis Engdahl, Editor
of The DAILY WORKER; James
WICKER, a student at the Union Theo-
logical Seminary and George f. Pow
ers. Johseph Mordkowitz a striker,
presided.
Engdahl pointed out that the strike
of the paper box makers is not an
isolated struggle, that it is part of
the movement to organize the millions
of unorganized workers in this coun-
try, that at the present time only four
million workers are organized out of
a total of over forty million workers
in this country. He urged them to

its other properties to run nom

for the six-hour day and five

Lewis followed with an attack
on Brophy. Tony Minorich spoke

Conventions Last Day.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Feb. o.
The convention had been adjourned
yesterday to meet at nine o'clock this
morning for the last most important
act of discussing the report of the
wage scale committee. Speculation
among the progressives verged from
a belief that John L. Lewis, Interna-
tional president, would, for grand
stand purposes, have his committee
strongly defend the Jacksonville scale,
and rely on losing strike to break
down the miners resistance of lower
wages, to the theory that he would
brazenly demand the right be given
his committee to bargain away the
future labor of union members at any
rate he might see fit to agree upon
with the companies.

For Present Scale.

The report itself. was a compromise
between the two possible plans Lewis
might have adopted. 1t declares for
the present scale of wages. But it
also insists on the scale committee be-
ing given bargaining power to ''trade
demands" with the operators, thus
opening the way to concessions. No
mention was made of the six hour
day or the five day week, though
progressive resolutions were brought
before the convention demanding
these be included in the next contract
as the only method by which wide
spread unemployment can be avoided.
Whereas the progressives had de-
manded in resolutions adopted by
large number of local unions one con-
tract for the entire coal fields, the
Wage Scale Committee brought in
recommendation for a contract for the
soft coal fields, alone. Lewis, and
Cappellini, president of District /,
of the anthracite, have already tied
the eastern Pennsylvania miners up

their striking with the bituminous
