FLAIANI AND four
OTHER PICKETS
STAND GROUND
Philadelphia Clothing
Workers Courageous


PHILADELPHIA (By Mail) -
Last Saturday morning at 10 a. M,
65 per cent. of the employees of the
S. j. Cohen Clothing Company at
18th and Callowhill walked out be-
cause the bosses of this firm wanted
to fire certain workers who are in
terested in organizing the shop on
a union basis.
Dirty Work.
Later workers were out on picket
duty and everything was quite until
noon. However, scores of police
men, as we'll as scores of private
detectives from the Ross detective
agency, including the big bull Ross
himself, were on hand. Ross was
there looking for rough and dirty
work.
At noon the captain of police from
District No. s, the 10th and Button
wood streets police station, threat
ened the pickets with arrest if they
did not disband Immediately.
The pickets, led by Dominick
Flaiani, a militant worker and
known to all workers of his trade
for militant and vigorous leadership,
were not frightened by these threats,
and the picket line remained firm,
despite the fact that the officials
of the Amalgamated Clothing Work
ers are against the policy of mass
picketing. But, of course, the
picket line was small in numbers.
Threaten Flaiani.
The captain and the sergeant,
seeing that the picket line did not
disband, with raised clubs, rushed
brutally to Flaiani, threatening him
with arrest. Flaiani did not bulge
at this, but stood his ground firmly
and insisted on his right to picket.
Upon this persistence of militant
spirit, they Immediately seized
Flaiani and four other pickets, b.
Palermo, C. LaSpina, Rea and Peter
Succia.
Unfortunately for the police, they
could not secure patrol wagon for
almost an hour. So the five ar
rested pickets, led by Flaiani, sang
to the hundreds of workers who had
gathered and were cheering the
strikers. They sang revolutionary
songs as "Bandiera Rosa" (Red
Flag, Hold the Fort" and "Solid-
arity Forever"
When the militant pickets were
finally taken into the patrol wagon.
hundreds of workers waved their
hands and cheered them, cursing the
American democracy that does not
permit the workers to make an eff
fort to better their standard of liv-
ing by peaceful picketing.
At the station house the pickets
were released on bail, and they i'm
mediately returned to the picket
line, undaunted.
25 Arrested.
At p. M, when the picket line
had been enlarged, the police
charged the pickets and arrested 25
of them. All this time they had
been threatening Flaiani, recogniz-
ing him as the leader and arresting
him first, the second time in a per-
iod Of five hours. Another worker
had just left his daily work from
another shop which had no connec-
ton with the picket line. Police
man No. 1886 came over to this
worker and asked him what he was
doing. The worker replied, 81 have
just left work and am going home"
The policeman viciously cracked his
face, severely injuring the utterly
innocent worker. This incident is
typical of the police methods en-
ployed by these lackeys Of the Ware
machine.
The 25 arrested men were later re-
leased on bail for hearing the
morning after.

DECIDES UNION
MAY Be USEFUL
Amalgamated Urged
to Issue Leaflets
az q Worker Correspondentl

(By Worker Correspondent
Some time ago I had conversa-
ton with a dishwaEher. In the
course of our conversation l asked
him whether he was a union man.
NO." he replied, "there is no
union in my line Of work"
eyes, there is; and the name of it
is the Amalgamated Food Workers
Union" told him.
"Is that SO? Well, I never
thought of it. But can you show
me restaurant that is operated by
union help?"
eyes. will show you many" 1
asked him to go over to the Co
operative Restaurant on Union
Square. Besides. l wanted to show
him several other places operated
by union help.
THAT is very good" he said, "but
l do not believe that the union can
better my condition and help me
secure more pay"
| cited many examples to him of
how workers in his trade obtained
more money and better conditions
That was only through having a
union. I then asked him how many
hours he worked per day.
IL Hours a Day.
Twelve hours a day, from IL a.
m. to IL p. m. / get two half days
off during the week"
well. don't you think IL hours is
too much for days work? Don't
you think that eight hours a day is
sufficient" l asked him.
IT think that I am better off by
working twelve hours a day. This
gives me chance to save my money,
since | have no time to go any
place." he answered.
$50 you're a philosopher and
human being. A horse works and
sleeps, too. What's the difference
between you and horse?"
To this argument I received no
reply. l gave him examples show
ing workers who labor eight hours
day receive more money and are
better treated than those who work
twelve hours per day.
Join Now.
"Guess you're right. I never
thought of that" he replied.
81 sure am right, lad, for the
union makes us strong In union
there is strength. Your place is in
the union. Join it now"
an think it over. Anyway, your
talk was worth while"
eff you want to know something
about trade unionism, read The
DAILY WORKER. You can buy it
at any newsstand"
II shall. So long. Hope to see
you again." and off he went.
This is a simple incident that
shows that even workers who are
hostile to trade unionism can be
won over to the workers cause after
proper talk. They think as they do
because capitalist society has forced
them to learn what it wished ever
since they were children.
The Amalgamated Food Work
ers' Union should issue leaflets
about its union and they surely will
get a good response.
1t can be done.
1t must be done! N. B.
