HELPERS union
GIVES TO FUND


Five dollars towards the sum being
raised for the Workers Center at 26
Union Square was collected Friday at
a meeting held by the American AS
ISOLATION of Plumbers Helpers at 1876
East Oath st.
Discussion at the meeting showed
that the helpers realize the need of a
workers center and especially of a
working class paper such as The
DAILY, WORKER.
1t was further brought out that
plumbers of Local Brooklyn are now
considering new proposed agree
ment with the Master Plumbers.
Many of the helpers branded the
agreement as a flake" and charged
that it would make a virtual com
pany union of Local 1. Under terms
of the agreement, helpers would be
left out of consideration, the only pro-
vision being that they register. No
provision is made for wages, hours
or organization.
The helpers union is planning a
campaign to organize the trade and
secure its own conditions.

POLICE USE Guns,
CLUBS ON PICKETS
AT AvELLA MINES
U. M. w. A. Stops Relief
to 4 Progressive Locals

AVELLA, Pa, April 20 (By Mail)
Coal and Iron police trained their
machine guns upon a crowd of sew
eral hundred pickets marching UP the
road to picket the Pittsburgh Ter
minal number nine mine at Avella
Monday morning. The superintendent
of the mine stood beside the police,
ready to give instructions.
A huge strikebreaker walked across
the road, shouting insults at the
pickets to provoke them to violence.
but the pickets ignored the "decoy
duck" and concentrated their efforts
upon other strikebreakers walking to
the mine, with good results. It is re-
ported that over $50 left the mine at
the call of the rank and file pickets.
Mounted Police.
1t was not until the pickets were
halfway home that the trouble be-
gan. Mounted police came tearing
down the road, and charged into the
peaceful line of miners, clubbing and
running them down with their horses.
Later in the day the troopers came
to the Avella barracks and asked the
striking miners to identify those who
were on the picket line, but the min
ers could not remember"
The four Avella locals, which COM
prise over 800 families, were cut off
the relief list by the United Mine
Workers of America, because they
sent delegation to the National
Save the Union Conference in Pitts
burgh on April 1, and later, when
International officers demanded the
expulsion of the representatives, re-
fused to comply.
