ON STRIKE TODAY

the 1000 non union shops in the

Journeymen BARRIERS.
The strike which was decided
upon, after unanimous vote of the

and increase in wages for the bar
bers will all be possible after the

USSR PROTESTS
SALE OF SHIPS
Rumania Seized Boats
in 1917
By EUGENE LYONS.

MOSCOW, Aug. 7 (UP)-Rus-
n-Rumanian relations, always
strained because of the Bessarabian
question, have been made far worse
by the reported seizure by Rumania
of certain former Russian proper
ties, it was made plain today.
The Soviet government, it was
learned, proposes to protest ener-
getically, and to threaten reprisals,
against the reported seizure and
subsequent sale of the properties.
The new situation arises from
report that Rumania had sold 200
vessels of various types, the prop
erty of the former Russian Dan;sbe
Steamship Company, as well as
other properties estimated here to
be worth several million gold
roubles. A rouble is SO cents. The
properties were left by the retreat
ing Russian armies in 1917. Russia
claims that the ships and other
properties undeniably belong to her.
The steamship company. it is
claimed, was Russian government
institution even before the retolu-
tion.

In defiance of savage police attack
launched against the first picket de-

total of 20 arrests and the clubbings

Strikers, picketing for the first
time in their lives, meet the re-
peated police attacks with the most
inspiring courage and despite the ar
rests of the picket line leaders. The
eleven pickets arrested last night
were increased by the jailing this
morning of nine more strikers,
among whom was James P. Ried,

the National Organizational Com
mittee issued the following call
which will be distributed by the
thousands in every district where
workers and to be found. Louis
Hyman, Chairman of the N. o. c..
signs the call.
The call says in part:
To-day is the Bronx meeting.
To-day you will raise your voice
against the company union, against
the sweat shop, against everything
that has helped to make your life
miserable during the past two
years!
"Every workerswho is suffering
and shaving in the cloak and dress
industry must come to help lay the
foundation for the rebuilding of our
union.
Enough suffering, enou h
slavery! Let US become free men
and women. Forward to the Stadium
meeting! Long live the union of the
workers!"
The circular is signed: "Joint

Committee.
Directions to the meeting are
simple, it is stated. The meeting
place can be reached from all parts

TO AID MM'GRADY
SAYS BILL GREEN
Yellow Press Wakes
Hysterical

With great fanfare of trumpets
the right wing Jewish Daily For
ward came out yesterday with a
hysterical denial of the Importance
of the two letters written by the
right wing leaders of the attack
against the fur workers, Edward F.
McGrady and A. l. Shiplacoff, in
which they admitted being defeated
by the left wing Furriers Joint
Board. A telegram by William
Green, president of the American
Federation of Labor was used to
"prove" that Shiplacoff and Nc
Grady were only joking when they
signed their names to confession
of failure.
Charles Stetsky, of the defunct
right wing Fur Joint Council issued
another statement to the same eff
feet, Hugh Frayne A. F. of L. or
ganizer, McGrady and Matthew
Woll issued pitiful denial, but to no
avail. The impression left by the
letters, which speak for themselves,
is ineradicable even from the minds
of the manufacturers who read
about it in their own trade press.
This despite the fact that the re-
ports in these journals were ex-
extremely favorable in assigning
space to the denials of the right
wing leaders. This was admitted
by many manufacturers when their
impressions are recorded.
McGrady's letter admitted that
his Joint Council company union
had been unable to destroy the left
wing Joint Board, and that if finan-
cial aid was not forthcoming from
the committee, then, the A. F. of L.
would withdraw from the situation.
