Bohm, business agent of the Book
keepers, Stenographers' and Ac-
countants' Union after his discharge.
Bohm refused to take any action
against the bank, Rubin declared.
H. M. Wicks, of the editorial staff

Bronx Workers to Hear of
Miners Struggle Tonight

Company police shoot and torture
the striking miners on the slightest
provocation, declared Rachel Getto,
wife of striking miner of Bentley
vile, Pa, yesterday. Mrs. Getto will
tell several thousand workers tonight
at Hunts Point Palace, 163d st. and
Southern Boulevard, how the work
ers are bounded and threatened by the
bosses police who use every means
to force them back to the coal pits.
"But we mean to stick! The women
are alongside of the men, and even
the children go on the picket line
and take up the fight in the school
rooms!"
Along Battle Front.
Mrs. Getto told a DAILY WORK
Err reporter how one of the strikers,
Steve Zilka, who lived next door to
a scab, walked out on his porch be-
cause he heard shouting in the next
house.
"a yellow dog, that's what we
call those company policemen in
Bentleville, fired lot of shots at
him because he was out there at
night, and one went through his foot
and some went clean through the wall
and shot his wife who was in bed.
Now both of them are crippled for
life. You see, the houses we live in
don't have walls like your houses.
It's easy to shoot thru, and for the
wind and cold to flow in"
Law with Bosses"
The case was brought to trial, but
the police were exonerated as they
usually are by judges who are in
sympathy with the mine operators,
declared the miners wife.
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1928-01-25

Mrs. Getto bitterly told how Pet
rolf, another miner, was brutally tor
tured by the police.
st wasn't enough that he and all
his children evicted from the house
by the company, but the night before
they were to leave the whole building
with everything they owned in it was
burned to the ground. Then the yell
low dogs arrested him, and all night
they tortured him to try to make him
say he set fire to the company house.
Torture Miner.
"They took him to the window of
the top floor of the Jail and said,
Say you did it or we'll throw you
down!' l can't even talk about the
things he said they did to him. He
was terribly sick the next day when
they let him go.'
Mrs. Getto is an active member
of the Women's Auxiliary of the Min
ers' Union and every morning until
she left Bentleyville, she distributed
the supplies sent by the relief organ
izations before going on the picket
line.
To Speak Tonight.
Mrs. Getto will speak at meetings
the Women's Committee for Miners
Relief is arranging for her. Juliet
Stuart Poyntz, Director Of Women's
work of the Workers (Communist)
Party, Rose Wortis of the Interna-
tional Ladies Garment Workers Joint

ADMIRAL MOVES
TO FREEZE OUT
GERMAN PLANES
Naval Aviation Bosses
Menace Latin America

HAVANA, Jan. 24.-Colombia and
the United States clashed today over
the American aircraft proposals. The
dispute came over an amendment
drafted by the American delegation
to modify the project of Pan-Amer-
ican Aviation Convention. The pur-
pose of the amendment was to au-
thorize the United States to enter into
special agreements with Panama and
Cuba.
When the amendment was read
there was an immediate objection
from DIR. Enrique Olaya Herrera,
chief of the Colombian delegation.
The Colombian's argument was
that such agreements would take the
form of military alliances, which were
not wanted in the new world. Chair
man Sampaio Correa of Brazil re-
ferred the issue to a special SUBJ
committee.
HAVANA, Jan. 24.--In an effort
to avoid future discussions of the
sovereignty of the Panama Canal
Zone and the Guantanamo naval base.
to preserve these naval bases for
military reasons, as points from
which to dominate Latin America,
and to prevent foreign commercial
aviation companies from competing
with United States commercial avia-
ton interests, Hsszs p Fletcher,
United States ambassador to Italy
and member of the delegation to the
Pan-American conference, has brot
before the committee on communica-
tions amendments to the proposed
air treaty.
Fletcher's amendments provide that
the signatory powers agree among
themselves concerning the zones that
shall be closed to commercial avia-
ton. Under the terms of the original
treaty, any planes engaged in Gus
toms, postal, police or other govern
ment services were exempt from the
terms of the treaty.
Hits Competition.
The amendments proposed by
Fletcher are generally interpreted
not merely as a means to safeguard
the Panama Canal Zone and Guata-
namo as military bases, but also as
move to eliminate foreign CONNER

SICMAN ASKS FOR
new INJUNCTION
Weapon Against Chica-
go Cloakmakers

CHICAGO, Jan. "a. - Morris Sig
man, president of the international
Ladies Garment Workers Union, an
swered the call for help issued to him
by the right wing in the Chicago
Joint Board of the Cloakmakers
Union. He came here to testify in
court in order that an injunction be
obtained against the membership of
the Chicago organization.
Weapon Against Workers.
The injunction is aimed to prevent
the workers from retaking control of
their Joint Board.
In Sigman's testimony last Friday,
he openly admitted that he, took pos
session Of the union, when the police
helped him to expel the left wing of
ficials who were in control of the or
ganization.
Early in the proceedings the judge
disagreed with the lawyer represent
ing Sigman, by declaring that the is
sue as it seemed to him was not Com
munism, as the right wing commended,
but the question of democratic cleo
t1ooa.
Contradictory Testimony.
The cross-examination of the attor-
ney representing the membership
brought out many contradictions in
the testimony of Mollie Friedman, an
international vice-president. After
claiming ignorance of any conflict in
the union, she claimed that candi-
dates for office were required BY pro-
visions in the constitution to sign a
form of yellow dog" pledge, after be-
ing allowed on the ballot.

Gang Feud Leads to
Shooting OF Painter

Gun play which is part of the re-
current feud between two gangs was
yesterday given as the cause of the
shooting of Alexander Berkovitz, 33,
union painter of 2159 Pacific St,
Brooklyn.
Berkovitz was shot while dining in
a restaurant, 65 Thatford Ave. An
unknown assailant, it was reported,
drove up in an automobile and fired
three shots through a window.

Workers of America was held IN this
More than $50 men were at the con-
ference. After presentation of the
situation, both as regards the strike
and in the union, by a well-known
miner, the floor was thrown open to
the local representatives. Speech af-
ter speech was made showing the abb
solute need of more militant action to
fight the injuncrions which say that
only three men may picket mine,
while hundreds of scabs are brought
in under the protection of sheriffs.
Professional strikebreakers are be-
ing brought in from all parts of the
countrySto work the mines, how is
not the question. The union is to be
broken-not coal to be mined!
Lied to by Bureaucracy.
The delegates told how the miners
were told by their subdistrict Off
cials, by the district administration,
thai the A. F. Of L. convention would
take the matter of relief in hand. The
convention came and went and moth
ing was done. Again the miners in
this subdistrict complained and decid-
ed to organize their own relief COM
mittee, but their subdistrict officials
against stepped in and assured them
that the meeting of the A. F. of l..
officials in Pittsburgh on November
18th, would do very much. IF they
do not, then you can be assured we
will be the first to advocate organiz-
ing our own relief committee"
The Pittsburgh conference passed,
with only a call on Cal. A paltry
$159,OO0 has been collected from
among the 100000 men affiliated to
the A. f. of L. for 100000 striking
minors ard their families.
In the meantime the officials are
getting their $500 month-and "ex-
penses," which in one case amounts to
$725 a month! One has only to fig
ure up the hundreds of thousands of
dollars going into salaries and Eek
penses" to understand that, if they
wanted to, the United Mine Workers.
officials alone could furnish hundreds
of thousands Of dollars month for
relief of the rank and file.
The miner delegates pointed out
that nothing is being done to organ
ize the non-union fields and every min
er knows that as long as the operat-
ors have these trumps in their hands

"The factory does not shut down
and lay off its employees when times
are dull" says the latest United
States army recruiting leaflet.
Issued in connection with the gov
ernment's imperialistic invasion Of
Nicaragua, the leaflet utilizes the
widespread unemployment in this
country to induce jobless workers to
put on a uniform and take up gun
in the service Of Wall Street.
"He doesn't worry about the costs
