KENOSHA PICKET
SLUGGEDBY THUG
Knitters Continue Fight
Despite Terrorism

KENOSHA, Wis, March 29.-Matt
Klucka, %, striker against the AL
lena Company's attempt to install
the open shop system here, was seri-
ously injured when he was attacked
by a thug in the company's employ,
who followed him in an automobile.
Struck from behind Klucka fractured
his skull when he fell to the sidewalk.
He was still unconscious when taken
to Kenosha hospital.
This is the first striker to be seri-
ously injured in the bitter 7-week-old
strike conducted by the knitters in the
hosiery mills. Every method of coer-
cion employed by the mill owners,
from one of the most vicious injunc-
lions ever obtained by employers in
labor disputes to the use of armed
thugs, has failed to break the ranks
of the strikers.
Adding to the rage of the strikers
at this cowardly assault, is the
friendly" assistance rendered to the
strikers by the Milwaukee Leader, a
socialist daily paper The paper in
reporting the vicious assault, prints
in the issue of Monday, March &c, the
statement of the assailant, C. Ferch,
to the effect that the striker had
jumped to the running board of his
automobile, and that he had hit him
because he thought him to be a hold
up man.

ZARITSKY, CHIEF
OF NY CAP UNION,
ALLOWS SPEEDUP
Lays Ba sis for Piece
Work System

Increased standards of production
are being instituted in more and more
cap and millinery shops, with the
permission of the union officialdom,
according to the complaints voiced by
he workers in the market. This is
being done according to a mapped out
plan of the International Union Pres
dent, Zaritsky, who is trying to use
his as means of forcing upon the
workers the acceptance of the piece
work system.
While permission to increase the
standard of production is generally
secretly granted to individual employ
srs, the boasting of the firm of Klein,
7rankfield, and Aronoff to the work
ers in the shop clearly illustrates this
fact.
Boss Ignores Union.
A. Klain, senior partner in the above
firm, even goes so far as to refuse
% deal with Zaritsky's local officials,
claiming that If he wants anything
Ie can get it directly from Zaritsky.
The workers declare that he has "al-
'eady gotten plenty" First he was
permitted to increase the standard
Of production to two more dozen caps
IN the 4C-hours work-week. When the
workers brought complaint to the
inion that their employer is demand
ng two dozen above the first increase,
\ business agent went up to inves-
igate. There he was informed that
he firm deals directly with Zaritsky,
whose permission they had received
before making the increase. The
workers were told that nothing could
9e done.
Explanation Clear.
The explanation is clearly apparent,
according to facts pieced together by
;he workers in the shop. One day
he boss, A. Klein, had boosted of the
TACT that he can get anything out of
laritsky because he had been a good
customer of Zaritsky's when the In
irrational president stopped being
lnion official for short period and
became an insurance agent. "Zarits-
~ had made $3.50 in commission on
an insurance policy for me alone"
was the employers boast.

and Millinery Urion, when Zaritsky's
reelection was strenuously opposed
