CONSPIRACY TO
DESTROY union,
MEMBERS SAY
rs a Crime Against
Organization"

BOSTON, August 1.-THE APP
plication of President Max Zaritsky
of the Cloth, Hat and Capmakers
International, for an injunction
against the administration of Local
Z, Boston, is denounced in a state
ment issued last night by the local,
zaritsky is being represented. by two
socialist attorneys, BearaR and Ro-
weE and further hearing in the case
will take place Aug. 81.
The statement of Local 7 follows,
in part:
1.-THE application for an injunc-
ton against the administration of
Local 7 BOSTON, of the Cloth Hat
and Cap Makers International, by
President Zaritsky is the culminat-
ing point of whole policy of sup
preston of all progressive elements
in our International. The same high
handed policy is being carried out
in Chicago, New York and in other
centers. ~ progressive group
fights against the policies of the
International Officers, which poll
cies it considers as dangerous to the
best welfare of the vast majority of
the membership and as destructive
of our organization.
Start Disrupting Tactics.
THE International officials had
determined that we must be ousted.
They organized factions in our local
in an effort to disrupt the normal
functioning. When this failed, they
trumped up charges against our ad-
ministration and an Investigation
committee of International Officers
found nothing to base its charges on.
Next came the demand that we call
special elections because they
claimed that the membership had
mo confidence in us. we agreed to
lit, and in the elections supervised
by committee of International
Officers, we received substan-
tial majority.
Form Illegal Local
Defeated in this last maneuver,
our International officers entered on
an arbitrary campaign of extermin-
alton. They completely disregarded
the constitution of our International,
of which they are the supposed
guardians. They declared us de-
posed without so much as prefer
ring charges or giving us hear
ing.
"The application for this injunc-
ton is detestable act worthy only
of misleaders of the workers. To
make use of injunctions while labor
is fighting against injunctions is a
crime against the members of our
International"

police are attempting to arrest all

Results of the balloting on the
question of arbitration by unions af-

being awaited here. Present indi-
cations are that, in spite of the re-
dictionary leadership of the unions,
the rank and file will oppose the ar

Belief that the manufacturers
were anxious to end the strike, was
expressed by Eli Keller, organizer
for the Textile Mills Committee
from his cell.
"The manufacturers are eager to
break the strike now because the
textile season is at hand and if the
mills are not started the manufac-
tuners will lose a whole seasons
business" he said.

RAIL WAY RAISES
WACE;PAYSLESS
Fires Many Hundreds
Of Workers

LANCASTER, Pa, August g.
Accompanied by nominal increase
of wages of from one cent to five
cents an hour, the Pennsylvania
Railroad, it was learned today, has
given the gate to nearly two thou
sand employees and has speeded up
its $4,000 workers to previously I'M
believable records.
Railroad employment in April was
lower by SCI per cent than a year
ago. Over one hundred thousand
railroad workers have been dropped
by the various companies during the
past IL months. At present rail
road employee does at least twice
the work required of him ten or
twelve years ago.
The announcement of the increases
by the Pennsylvania Railroad was
made by Calvin w. Long, Chairman
of the Executive Board of the Penn
sylvania Railroad System Frater-
nifty. The announcement carried the
statement that wage increases would
amount to about 100000 per month.
While this amount was questioned in
some quarters, it was pointed out
that the road has decreased it's pay
rolls by at least twice that amount
per month as result of the FRA
tionalization" process now taking
place. All railroads have saved $13,-
691,717 in the last year through
reduced payrolls.

the dilemma between the powerful
camp headed by Matthew Woll, vice
president of the federation, who is
known to have held secret confer

headed by Green who admits freely
that he has practically promised
.Emith to use his influence to en-
forse the Tammany governor.

served to agitate dissatisfaction with
the system. 1t is pointed out that
more than 200 names were on the
Republican ballot in Marion county,
and in both parties, seventeen can
didates for the gubernatorial nom
nations. The number is so large,
it is said as to prevent voters from
becoming even family familiar with
the qualifications of candidates.
The Republican State platform
two years ago said: Recognizing
the evils of the primary law we
suggest that the matter be brought
before the next legislature for modi-
f1cation and we recommend that it
be so modified that it will restore
representative government by politi-
cal parties"
Various measures for modification
or repeal were launched in both
houses but after extended commit
tee discussion and occasional action
on the floor, failed of passage and
left the primary law unaltered. The
absent voter law, however, was re-
pealed.
Leading Republican gubernatorial
candidates have been skittish about
restoring the old convention system

opinions on the remedy, some ad-

wide features, as was attempted in
the legislature. This would repeal
the presidential preference and pro-
vide for the nomination of candi-
dates for Governor and United
States Senator in State conventions.
Some sugges THAT the law be
altered to permit nominations for
Congressman to be made in district
conventions, while others suggest
that county, district and state con-
ventions make all nominations, thus
limiting the function of the prim-
airy to the election of delegates to
the conventions and precinct COM
mitteemen.
The thirteen members Of the res
olutions committee, charged with
framing the party platform, will be
named Wednesday night in meet

Indiana districts, one committee
man being selected from each dis
trict.
The committee will meet in Room
1924 of the SEVERN. Senators James

the platform, which will include in
dorsement Of the national and State
