OPEN SHOPPERS
IN FAKE CHARGE
AGAINST union
Jail Two Workers in
Frame-Up

AS a result of a local strike, the
Window Cleaners Protective Union,
local 8, is engaged in fight against
an anti-picketing injunction, accord
ing to its secretary, Harry Feinstein.
The application for the injunction
was made recently by the Spanier
Window Cleaning Co., an open shop
plant, before Judge Tierney in the
Supreme Court, part 1.
1t charges that the union "con-
spired, enticed, intimidated, threat
ened and coerced the plaintiff and its
employees and induced customers to
break contracts" If the injunction
is granted it will order workers to
restrain from picketing the plant of
the open shop boss.
As charges of violence make the
granting of an injunction more easy
the bosses, union officials state, have
framed union members, Louis Berk-
owitz and Nicholas Bulk, on the
charge of battery and assault.
In commenting on the possible is
suance of the injunction, and the
arrest of the workers, Feinstein said,
in part:
"The charges of violence are only
a pretext to have the injunction
granted. But this trickery will avail
the open-shoppers little. We will
fight the application for the injunc-
ton and the injunction itself with
all the power and energy at our
command"

Greet SHIFRIN
AT CLERK RALLY
Banquet, Meeting, to
Be Held This Sunday

An enthusiastic welcome meeting,
crowded to the doors, was held last
night by the workers in the retail
grocery, delicatessen, butcher, bak-
cry and fruit stores, to greet Will
liam Shifrin, left wing worker who
faces a charge of second degree
murder for his heroism in defending
his life. The meeting will be held in
Stuyvesant Casino, Second Ave. and
Ninth st.
After a tremendous ovation for
Shifrin, that continued, despite his
pleadings to desist, the victim of
the socialist frame-up machine told
of his fight for life. Shifrin, in
helping the food workers in their
struggles to organize, had been at
tackled by gang of six armed
thugs. In that fight, against over
whelming odds, Shifrin succeeded in
repulsing his attackers only after
he had mortally wounded one of
them.
Leaders of other left wing unions
in the Jewish labor movement also
spoke, in addition to the heads of
the food store unions. Sam Lipsin,
secretary of the Shifrin Defense
Committee, in speaking to the as
semblage, told them that tremen-
dous expenses would be met with
in the struggle to save Shifrin from
possible life term in Jail. His ap-
peal for funds was contributed to
generously and with enthusiasm.
The meeting unanimously passed
resolution condemning the social
ist" union leaders, who stop at no
means to destroy the influence of
the left wing.
Lipsin also told of the arrange
ments for numerous affairs being
arranged by sympathetic militant
labor organizations.
This Sunday evening a welcome
home banquet will be given Shifrin
at the United Workers Co-opera-
tive Restaurant, 2700 Bronx Park
East. Shifrin is a member of the
cooperative. colony of workers
homes. The banquet begins at 8
O'clock.
Another mass meeting is to be
held to greet Shifrin and to aid his
fight for freedom. 1t will be held
this Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock
at 1873 43rd St., Brooklyn, and is
arranged under the joint auspices
Of the Workmen's Circle of that sec
ton and the Jewish Workers Club.
The speakers at this meeting will
be Shifrin himself, A. Werner of the
Progressive Butchers Union, S.
Lipzin Of the Defense Committee
and B. Matzkin.

MINERS STRIKE
IN ANTHRACITE
Bares Misleadership of
McGarry
ESPECIAL to the Dailg Worker

tOpec2dL 70 the DuttB w OfheT/
PITTSTON, Nov. 9.-Complete
exposure of the bankrupt and cow
ardly Frank McGarry leadership in
the anthracite is taking place here
as result of his conduct of the
strike of the Pennsylvania Coal
Company collieries which he called
out last Wednesday.
As head of the mine grievance
committees, McGarry called for a
stoppage in all pits of the company,
nominally against the numerous
evils, particularly the contractor
system, which infests the anthra-
cite, but actually to secure the rec
ignition of the independent anthra-
cite union, which McGarry heads
and which he recently Incorporated
Under the state law.
Miners Not Consulted. 3
Without warning and without prep
aration the miners, nevertheless, re-
sponded. due to the vicious condi-
tions under which they work. Six
out of ten colliefies struck, even
though the miners were not even in
formed or consulted about the move.
Two collieries struck 100 per cent
and four about 60 per cent, it is
said.
Mayor William Gillespie, little
dictator for the coal barons, imme-
diately issued an order prohibiting
meetings. Instead Of fighting the
vicious order, Garry, in cowardly
fashion, sought to hold meetings
cut of town in Dupont and Inter
man. These meetings were broken
up.
Further displaying his incapacity
for leadership, McGarry made no
call for mass picketing of the struck
mines, but appointed several small
committees. When these were at
tackled, beaten up and dispersed by
The coal police, McGarry had no rem
edy left. A futile effort to secure
''free speech" was made by the
bankrupt misleader in sending for
Arthur Garfield Hayes, attorney for
the Civil Liberties Union. But a
meeting called for this afternoon in
vacant lot was again dispersed
after the sheriff had revoked per-
nit which he had earlier granted
for the meeting.
One Union of all Miners.
Representatives of the new Ma
tional Miners Union have called
upon the coal diggers to meet any,
way despite the orders Of the mayor.
1t urges mass pickcting as the only
effective weapon and joining with
the National Miners Union in the
common fight under a militant pro-
gram.
The miners are fighters and un-
derstand that the only method which
can win against the coal barons and
their paid politicians and law courts
is mass picketing, united action and
real struggle. They have become
6isgusted with McGarry. The But
Ter Mine Local last night at mem
bership meeting voted to GUST him
and to return tc work.
The new National Miners Union
has consistently condemned the ad-
veptrrism of the McGarry leader
ship. 1t has urged the anthracite
coal diggers to join with their
bituminous brothers in the common
fight, pointing out that only through
a united stand is victory against the
coal barons possible.
