in preparation in an effort to halt
the coming walkout of the tens of
thousands in this huge mill center.
Plans ere being laid, police off

members of the Textile Mill Com

Despite the mobilization Of all
these forces of the bosses and their

Of workers in the cotton division
of the American Printing Company
plant joined the strike yesterday
noon. This is admitted even by he
boss-owned press here.
The announcement that the de-

among the strikers, but even among
the membership of the reactionary.

Textile Operatives,
Their indignant condemnation Of
this move reveals not only hatred
for this scheme to hurt the popular
Textile Mill Committees, but also
reveals the fact that they will re-
member the role played by these
frame-up artists in the Sacco- Van
zetti murder.
Meanwhile the officialdom Of the
A. F. 7. G. Textile Council. who
led by their black president, Police
Commissioner Tansey, are trying
their utmost to halt the growing
sentiment fol a general walkout.
Campos, council secretary, yester-
day issued a statement asking for a
conference with Nathan Durfee,
American Printing Company boss,
in which he declared that he will
promise not to take up the wage
cut question. He asks the Farley,
however, to convince Durfee to
grant recognition TO his union.
The council also issued an order
to their members, many Of whom
had joined the strike, to remain at
their places by the looms. This
strikebroaking move is vehemently
denounced by their own member

LYNN, Mass, Aug. 8.-More
than two thousand shoe workers of
this city, crowding the approaches
to the hall where they we're intend
ing to listen to speakers of the Pro-
gressive Shoe Workers, yesterday
confronted a battalion of police
called by the authorities and the
bosses to prevent the meeting.
A mass meeting of shoe workers
had been scheduled for seven
thirty in the evening, but the first
bodies of police began to surround
the hall by four in the afternoon.
More followed presently until all
entrances to the building were I'M
der police guard.
Warned that the authorities had
acted to prevent the gathering, the
workers formed in crowds in front
of the hall, but the organizers at
tempted to proceed with the meet
ing and were warned by the captain
Of police to leave the city iIumedi-
ately under threat of arrest.
Protests from the crowd only
brought a more menacing attitude
on the part of the police. In order
to prevent any disturbance which
could react against the shoe work
ers, whose resentment was growing
as the crowd increased, the chair
men then announced that the meet
ing would be postponed until next
week.
In the meantime efforts will be
made to obtain official permission
for holding a similar meeting al
though the leaders of the Progress
sive Shoe Workers expect to en-
counter strong opposition from the

ALL. Treasurer
IS REPORTED out
Tobin, Tammany Tool,
Makes Gesture

ATLANTIC CITY, Aug. 8. (UP).
--Reports were current here today
that Daniel J. Tobin, treasurer of
the American Federation of Labor,
had resigned because the executive
council of the federation failed to
indorse Governor Alfred E. Smiths
candidacy.
Tobin refused to confirm or deny
the reports.
The federation council, meeting
a secret session here, adopted a
1sition of neutrality in the presi-
Dental campaign.
Tobin's resignation as treasurer
was said to have been tabled in the
hope that he would reconsider be-
fore the next quarterly meeting.
1t was known that Tobin, presi-
dent of the Transfers and Chauf-
feurs International Union, was a
strong supporter of Governor Smith
and the councils decision not to
openly support the Democratic
nominee was regarded as a victory
for Herbert Hoover.

tice, the police. A struggle will en-
sue between the police and the
workers, resulting in the victory of
the latter and the release of their
comrades.

with William Schwartzfeller, local
manager of the w. I. R. At the

To enable the w. l. R. to vary

A Tammany Tool.

The report of the resignation OF
Daniel ]. Tobin, treasurer of the
American Federation of Labor, was
received here with very little sur
prise. Informed labor circles have
known that Tobin was committed to
support Smith several monts age
following a reported conference Of
labor officials and Tammany Hall
politicians. Tobin, who is president
of the Brotherhood of Transfers
is one of the pillars of the Tam
many machine. Tobin has con-
sistently refused to organize the
taxi drivers throughout the ,coun-
try and especially in New York
City. The Yellow Taxivab Corpora
ton, which is controlled by inter
csts close to Tammany Hall, is be-
lieved to have been guaranteed "im-
inunity" by the Tobin machine.
1t is not believed that Tobin will
"stay" resigned.
