26 ACQUITTED IN
HOSE STRIKE CASE
Defied Vicious Allen-A
Injunction

MILWAUKEE,, April 25.--A sealed
verdict turned in by federal jury,
after the trial Of the 20 active strik-
ers and union leaders charged with
violating a vicious anti-strike injunc-
ton, found the defendants not guilty.
The American Federation Of Full
Fashioned Hosiery Workers, to which
the defendants belonged, has been
conducting q bitter struggle against
the open-shop Allen-A Hosiery Com
pany for many months.
The strikers had persistantly re-
fused to abide by the provisions of the
Injunction obtained by the employers
from Federal Judge Geiger. Despite
its being one of the most drastic
strikebreaking writs ever issued, and
despite importation of armed thugs
as scab protectors, the workers are
admittedly well on the road to COM
peIling capitulation of the labor
hating firm, whose operations are
completely crippled.

The answer of the striking workers
was to Immediately increase the num-
bers on the picket lines on this street.
The employers, however, had pre-
pared enough police protection to
enable the scabs to continue at work.
The police slugged several pickets
and arrested two women sympathiz-
ers, and Is strikers. They were later
allowed out on parole till their trial
in the West Farms Magistrates
Court tomorrow.
In the last two days two open air
meetings were savagely broken up by
charging squads Of police and plain
clothes men. One of the largest open
air meeting ever held by the United
Council of Working Class Women,
who arranges most of the open air
meetings for the strikers, was dis
persed by police who with swinging
clubs slugged their way thru crowd
of about 5000 to the platform, from
which they dragged the speakers.
Boris Zibatow, striker, standing
near the platform was beaten up
brutally before they placed him under
arrest. He was later released on $500

time introducing the speed-up during
the course of organization.
With this method the boss sue
ceeded to increase the production Of
union men above that of the, former
non-union men. This method of
speed-up was not only tolerated but
also encouraged by Mr.. Wagner as
a reward to the boss for the recog-
milton of the union. This is not only
true in this one instance but is the
general policy Of our officialdom. At
the same time falling in line with
this general policy Of our official
dom is included the refusal of adj
mission into the union of the unor-
ganized workers, forcing these I'M
organized workers to lose confidence
in organized labor.
Brothers, why don't we force our
officialdom to adopt such measures
as would organize the unorganizedd
workers in the craft. This would
enable us to force thhe employer to
accept cur agreement without beg
ging for acceptance as our official
dom has done. This would also en-
able us to eliminate to a certain ex-
tent the competition between the Or
ganized and the unorganized shops
and to eliminate the numbers of new
upholsterers which are thrown on the
labor market year after year by the
non-union employers.
Brothers! Because our officialdom
are carrying on this stand still pol
icy does not mean that the bosses
are doing the same. The bosses are
preparing to fight the union when
the next agreement expires. They
will not allow themselves to lose
their profits because of the compe-
tition between the organized and I'M
organized shops.
We cannot expect that the present
officialdom will make any funda-
mental changes, as long as they car
ry on their Misunderstanding policies as
