William M. Batty, secretary of

G. fne to me last week and pleaded
TIP if we took down our wage-cut
notices, he would agree to have his
union accept the Frieder Standard
ization Plan," said John Sullivan,
president of the New Bedford Cot

urday in an exclusive interview with
the writer today. This news COM
ing after the conference between
the diehard Sullivan and Batty is
authoritative proof that the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor officials
are frantic at the growing strength
of the Textile Mill Committees.
When interviewed Batty declared
that he would work to put thru the
Frieder plan. Admitting the plan
to be a speed-up system, Batty de-
clared that it is the only way out
of the situation.
"We favor the Frieder Eff
cheney Plan, but it all depends on
j the workers. l fear that some
, workers view this plan as speed
, J system, but if accepted pros
Iscts for a settlement would be
Bright" said Batty to the question

Pittsburgh city police, carrying
out an evidently well-planned pro-
gram and cooperating with over two
hundred thugs recognized by min
ers as members of a permanent
army of paid attaches of the Lewis
administration, rode rough shod
through the meeting of the mine

cry with which the fascist army led
by the police drove into the attack.

repeated. In the roundup, Freeman

Tony Calmari of Charleroi and

The cops spent the afternoon to-
day in driving from one hotel to
another arresting all delegates
whom they could lay hands on.
Their first act after the raid on
the Labor Lyceum was to proceed
to the Monongahela Hotel at three
o'clock at which place they arrested
all members of the delegation pres
ent. At the hotel at which ths
West Virginia delegation was regis
tered, Lewis gangsters made a
wholesale attack on members who
were outside of the entrance. Fol-
lowing this the whole delegation
was arrested
Another delegation of thirty-five
members who arrived at the Labor
Lyceum this afternoon, ignorant of
the raid this morning, were immedi-
ately pounced upon by the police
and dragged off to Jail.
Information which came to the
National Arrangements Committee
for the new union of the Lewis
plans to break up the convention
caused the four hundred delegates
who had already arrived last night
to take possession of the meeting
hall during the night in order TO
hold it, About nine o'clock this
morning the Lewis gangsters, some
of whom have come from as far as
West Virginia, drove up in taxi
cabs. Among them were many rec
ognized as coal operator detectives.
All wore red, white and blue badges
