Cloak Strikers Fined in
Passaic Court

Three members of the Dressmakers'
Local % of the Joint Board of the
Cloak and Dressmakers' Union, were
arrested yesterday while picketing
the shop of the Sunrise Dress Com
pany. They were later released after
payment of a So fine imposed by
Magistrate Silverman, who found
them guilty Of disorderly conduct in
Jefferson Market Court.
The Sunrise Dress Company was
declared on strike by the Joint Board
several days ago when the employer
signed a contract with the dual
union" of the right wing. Upon the
order of the employer that all those
employed in his shop go and register
in the right wing union" walkout
Immediately took place.
Right Wing Behind Arrests.
The workers were arrested upon
the instigation of the right wing, tes-
timony in the Magistrates Court
clearly showed. The police had made
the arrests not in front of the shop,
but almost a block away. Those ar
rested, Yetta Solovey, Jean Goren-
stein, and Rebecca Mencken, were
pointed out by the right wingers, it
is declared.

Organize!
The traction workers must organ
ize. Begin by forming your shop
committees. Speak organization and
join the union by the thousands at
the same time making sure that even
in the union you fight to keep the
situation in your own hands.
Demand the reinstatement of the
workers who have been discharged.
This is your major demand. A strike
should be called to enforce this de-
mand, but the workers must beware
that such strike is conducted by
them for their own demands and
should not be utilized by the COM
pany. The slogan should be sour
Own Strikel" Organize. Form your
shop committees; demand that the
union officials call a mass meeting of
all workers; demand that the whole
labor movement be mustered in your
defense.

Fine Pickets.

The six workers who were arrested
for picketing the shop Of the Main
Cloak Company in Passaic, N, j.,
came up for trial in local magis-
trates court yesterday. Four Of these
were fined $3.50 and the other two
were released A Joint Board repre-
sentative paid the fine.
A spontaneous walkout Of all the
40 employees Of the firm followed an
announcement by the boss that all
workers must go to register in the
dual union" of Morris Sigman, In
ternational president.
The employers were becoming COM
pletely Disguised with the fact that
they were forced to maintain union
conditions, the boss openly said, ac-
cording to the strikers. He therefore
broke the agreement with the Joint
Board and signed up with the right
wing.
The workers declared their inten-
ton of continuing regular picketing,
in spite of police terrorization. Other
Passaic unions are lending assistance
in the daily picket duties.
Those who paid the fines are: Alex

commanding officer where, after
Questioning them, he told them the
sentries who had admitted the girls
to the island were to be penalized and
that new rule would be enforced
making it necessary for girls going
to the island fort to have passes as
well as the men visitors and to pro-
vide search of all visitors who go to
the island in the future. The Of
ficer not only said what would hap
pen to any soldiers who distributed
such letter" but boosted that if it
had been men who had distributed
the leaflet, they would have been beat
en- up so badly that they couldn't have
walked back.
Trailed By Spy.
After being released, the girls were
trailed for a long distance by an army
spy, not getting rid of him until after
entering restaurant to eat.
The letter which was addressed to
Casual" the name given the 1900
troops waiting at Slocum % be ship
ped to various U. S. possessions, read
in part as follows:
During your stay at Fort Slocum
things have not been so nice altho you
are now one of the so-called defend
ers of your country. You have all
had your fill of the "slum" and "gen-
eral mess" (terms used by he SOL
diers for the food at Slocum) and
have had to get along with two blan-
kets in the old poorly heated bar
racks" Going ON to describe what
was ahead for these new recruits, the
rip down, damned into the hole of
the small transport, previously used
to transport cattle, and telling them
of the harder work" and the "heat"
that would greet them when they
reached their outfits, the letter
raised the question: "Why are you 60
ing? ?"
Forced To Sign.
"Most of you didn't sign up because
you wanted to or because you had any
illusions about the nice conditions in
the army; on the contrary many of
you were forced to join because Of
the growing unemployment. Most Of
you are workers and if you knew
that you were being sent to Panama,
etc., to Cypress the workers
there, and in turn to lower the stand
ard of living in this country, you
would not look forward to your job
with relish because it's just this that
has brought about such bad conditions
at home.
Perhaps you will not be called
upon to shoot down the workers and
asked to cut each others threats for
the profit of their bosses. That is
one reason you are getting such rot
ten conditions now, because the army
is organized for war time efficiency,
not peace time comfort, and. yeurt
present hardships are only a taste
Of what you viii get in the next world
="
"And las, but not least you will
be preparing the battle-ground for
the next world war in the Pacific,
when millions of workers will be-
peasants during your term as isl
being done III China and Nicaragua
but you will nevertheless be fightingl
for the big financial interests, thel
same interests which drove you out
of work, even if you are only thel
police force which prevents the peo-
pie Of these colonies from obtaining
their independence and upholds the
puppet government which Wall
Street has forced upon them. WALL

bosses are importing laborers while
so per cent of the mine workers are
unemployed. At this .colliery there
are 5000 mine workers who revolted
against this practice of the coal COM
panies and went out on strike when
the coal company refused to settle
the situation.
Ont On Strike.
They struck Feb. %, but as usual
the reactionary officialdom came
down in full force and forced the
miners to go back on their jobs with
out settling these grievances. The
situation is not yet settled, tho the
miners returned to work because Of
the pressure of the reactionary Off
cialdom.
Practically the same situation ex-
lists at the Loree division of the Hud-
son Coal Co. at Larksville, where the
miners are in an uproar and ready
to strike.
1t is only when the miners organ
ize themselves thoroughly around the
Save the Union Committee and its
programmed then only-that they
will be able to better their condition

500 At YorkviIIe Meeting.

YORKVILLE, Ohio, Feb. 49,
Thursday evening a meeting was
held here by the Save the Union
Committee at which Brophy spoke.
Brophy's appearance was a signal for
loud cheering of all workers who
packed the union hall here despite
rain. Suffering a defeat at the
Dillonvale meeting the machine sup
porters were absent together with
the officials. This meeting as others
served to inspire the masses of work
ers and strengthen their determine
ton to fight against the Lewis mach
inc as well as the operators.
Friday at 2 p. m. 500 workers
crowded the miners hall in Lansing
to hear Anthony Minerich who was
arrested last week by the city mar
shalls in the same hall. A meeting
was also held at Neffs in the even
ing with the same number attending.

Call for National Strike
and Labor Party

MARTINS FERRY, O., Feb. rs
One of the largest meetings since the
strike was held at Dillonvale, O.,
Thursday, 23rd, at which John Brophy
was the principal speaker. The
meeting was scheduled for D. IN.
but started at 1:30--the Bohemian
hall being packed with hundreds
waiting on the outside to get in, hun
dreds of miners turned out from
many points in the sub-district, many
walking for many miles from early
morning, and others riding in autos
and trucks, to hear Brophy for the
first time in this sub-district since
the strike.
Attacks Lewis Machine.
Brophy in two and one-half hour
address reviewed the situation in the
union since the 1922 strike, leading
up to the present struggle. He
termed as disruptive the sell-out of
the 1922 strike and settlement, leav-
ing the 100000 organized miners out
to starve after settlement had been
reached in the organized districts.
He pointed out the dastardly affect on
the unorganized miners of the
incompetency of the Lewis machine
to organize the unorganized miners,
because he had lost the respect and
confidence of these men in the 1922
betrayal. Hence his inability to draw
these men out in the present strike,
to help accelerate the settlement and
bring it to a successful termination
for the mine workers.

the workers Of Oakland, California,
are making to take from Los Angeles
the lead in the national campaign to
obtain 10000 new subscribers for the
