UNION PICKET is
FACING ARREST
Milwaukee Strik e is
Reply to Lockout

MILWAUKEE, Wis, April 81
The mems clothing company, David
Adler and Sons, who recently locked
out their workers in an effort to es-
tablish the open-shop, has sworn out
warrant for the arrest Of one Of
the most active union members. At
tempt to frame him up is to be made
because his leading of the picket line
prevented the reopening of the plant
with scabs.
The membership of the Amalga-
mated Clothing Workers Union,
whose agreement the company broke,
are determined to compel the CAPT
tulation of this boss, knowing that
his success means an immediate at
tack by the other union firms in the
city.
They also criticize the union ad-
ministration for neglecting to carry
on any organization campaigns in
the city. They point out that this en-
ployer would not have dared to chal-
lenge the union if it had pursued a
militant organization policy.

emf rates for electricity, following the
example of the Ontario Hydro-Elec-
t,ic Commission, was shown in much
correspondence as well as in New
combs testimony. The LAWYER stated
that his organization was wholly hos
tile to anything like the Ontario sys-
tenn. since private corporations would
have their financial arrangements dis
turbed by it. He said they had to
nlan wears in advance for develop
meat of their own sources of power
and would be injured by the sale OF
power by the government to anyone
except the operating companies.
Conspiracy Shown.
o. C. Merrill, executive secretary
of the federal power commission, was
shown to have suggested, at New
combs request, the draft of para.
graph for a letter which the joint
committee was to send to Chairman
Smith of the house committee deal
ing with the Boulder Canyon dam
bill. Merrill's suggestions were not
used. but Newcomb's ideas were used
in the letter, which protested against
federal entry into the power business
in the southwest.

Federation HEAD
is ACCUSED IN
.SHAKEDOWN DEAL
Martel is Candidate For
A. F. L. Delegate
By H. M. WICKs.

DETROIT, April 27.-Frank <.
Martel, president of the Detroit Fed
Grafton of Labor, was for six or seven
weeks on the payroll of the cleaners
and dyers employers association, ac-
cording to testimony in an extortion
trial taking place in court here.
Nathan Slogan, treasurer of the
associated cleaners and dyers, testl-
fled that Charles C. Jacoby, head OF
big dry cleaning concern, paid
Martel $500 week when Martel
Strengthened out "some trouble we
were Having with our inside help.
They wanted shorter hours and more
money"
Martel is one of the worst reac-
tionaries in the Labor Movement and
it has long been an open secret that
he was destined to follow the foot
steps of the notorious Brindell. For
weeks the shakedown scandal has
threatened to break over his head and
now it is here.
Martel is a prominent member Of
the Typo union, and is at present a
candidate for delegate to the Ameri
can Federation of Labor Convention
on the so-called Progressive" ticket.
dominated by Frank Morrison and
Charles P. Howard, president of the
international.
The trial now going on involves a
group of gangsters charged with ex-
torting money from employers in a
cleaners and dyers war that has been
marked by bombings, incendiarism
and other forms of terrorism. No
bonafide union is involved in any way.

ANTI-INJUNCTION
BILL is FOUGHT
BY POWER TRUST
Lobby Would Strangle
Unions

WASHINGTON, April 27 (FP).-
That the joint committee of the Ma
tional Utility Associations, commonly
known as the power lobby, included
the Shipstead anti-injunction bill as
one of the chief measures in congress
in which it was "deeply interested"
was disclosed by Josiah Newcomb, its
,000-a-year Washington counsel.
in testimony before the Federal Trade
Commission. Newcomb admitted that
the Walsh resolution for investiga-
ton of the power and utility indus
try was the first object of their anx-
iety and that the danger of competi-
ton from the federal government, at
Muscle Shoals and Boulder Canyon
in the generation and distribution of
electricity, was next in Importance.
Fight Injunction Bill.
This was the first time that the
lobby of the federated electric, gas
and street railway corporations of the
United States had been shown to be
among the big business interests that
are preventing action by the present
congress on the labor injunction issue
Already it is clear that the Shipstead
bill is to be reported to the senate.
and it is likely to come to vote
there in accordance with a pledge
made by republican leaders early in
the session. But the power trust for
ces in senate and house are able to
prevent its enactment.
2 Billion of Water.
Chief Counsel Healy for the COM
mission brought out in examination
of Newcomb that the power lobby
first became alarmed at newspaper
interview with Sen. Walsh of Mon
tana, last year, wherein Walsh de-
clared that $2,000,oOo,0OO of utilities
capitalization was water. A man
named Roberts, an expert on utilities
finance, was brought from New York
and had a number of talks with
Walsh, resulting in modification of
the resolution when Walsh finally
brought it into the present session.
Then ex-senator Lenroot was hired
to argue before the senate interstate
commerce committee that the senate
should not adopt the Walsh measure

New methods Of efficiency are in
.trodueed cons. antly making the work
harder. Nothing is paid for over
time recently; and Sunday work does
not receive more than the usual days
pay as was demonstrated last Christ
mas. There is absolutely no fighting
spirit amcng the employees. They
grumble continuously but make no
attempt to improve their condition by
mass cooperation or by pro est to the
management. 1t is absolutely unknown
to most of them to strike or. TO or
ganize. Many of them have never
worked before and they know no hing
of unionism or of class solidarity. Yet
/ am positive that much progress can
be made if the methods pursued here
tofore are persistently continued.
Otherwise the little spirit and interest
aroused will die. Constant propa-
ganda is bound to cause some interest
on the part Of the workers. But
Propaganda with these workers must
be carried on differen ~ than wi \
other workers. / do not believe that
The DAILY WORKER is ineligible
to the majority of them, save an ar
ticle d ir ectIy concerning them.
Propaganda here must be especially
made to suit their requirements and
intelligence.
I sincerely hope TO see the day when
The National Bellas Hess will be
properly organized. The energy al
ready expanded must not be for
naught nor in vain. Every effort
must be made to continue the work
more effectively, and more suitablg
to the requirements Of this type OF
workers.
Yours for a Bellas Hess Union.

was in Trieste in 1920 before the
fascist came into power. The Conn
munist movement then was very
strong and we had a wonderful May
Day celebration.
10000 Workers.
Nobody is working on that day. All
the workers were marching and listen
to speakers. Early in the morning
music wakes up everybody and they
know it is time to get together for
MAY Day. We gather in the square
in the city, the Piadza Donadoni, co.
900 or 10000 workers, and there we
hear many good speakers telling about
Nav Day and why we celebrate and
how we have to fight and how we
have to have workers government.
And then we march.
We march through the whole city
in long columns. We march past the
Communist Party office, where IS a
beautiful red flag hung out and the
whole parade marches under 1T and
cheers and sings. We have bands that
plav revolutionary music. We carry
red flags and we have red flowers
and red ribbons in our button holes.
The police and the soldiers march
with the workers. We know why they
are there. but no trouble comes.

thinking. They are wondering what

haven't the least conception.
Many of the girls are under 1G

schools. When it is very busy the
section heads advise them not to go

Comrades, the conditions are mucE
worse than you have been informed
Girls commence at the rate of $12
week. Boys probably get dollai
more. Advancement is very slow and
painful. 1t does not in fact exist at
all for the average worker, as workers
are taken on and fired continuously
for no reason at all save the fact that
the rush is over, or that the individual
is not fast enough, or has not entirely
pleased the department or section
head. 1t is called by the term
familiar to workers reduction of

Unbelievable Conditions.
Some of the conditions existing
there are unbelievable. In the de-
partments where many girls are en-
ployed a matron supervises the wash
room. She is paid 10 hurry and rush
the girls while they wash up and at
tend to their wants. The matron gen
orally scolds the girls in the crudest
and severest language for the least
thing. Girls must not have any COM
munication with each other at all in
the Mushroom, nor linger a minute
over the time the matron chooses tc
allot to them. The washrooms are not
nearly as large as they should be and
each department is permitted in only
curing a prescribed hour. Many work
ers are afraid to en- er the Mushroom
behind the time set down by rule even
IN time of necessity to avoid the
angry voice of the matron and her in
taIrogations.

Jail For Celebrators.

But now it is different. Now on
May Day everybody works. If the
boss is democratic he gives US maybe
half day, and if he is fascist, he
gets the worker in prison if he stays
away from work.
So we don't march and we don't
have speakers, but we celebrate just
the same. After work we meet
illegally in comrades houses or near
the city in the woods, and we plan for
stronger and better fighting against
the fascist and for the Communist
movement.
Here in America we must also fight
to get back again what we had for
May Day many years ago. We must
go to Madison Square Garden, thou
sands OF US, and demonstrate for unity
of all workers on May First.
