The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1928-02-06

brought up handful of DAILY
WORKERS and distributed them to
the labor officials, Tammany politi-
clans and ministers on the stage. The
main headline announcing the meet
ing on page one of the paper read:
"'Unwanted' Workers Go To Cooper
Union; Ask Real Smash At Injunc-
tons; No Tammany Lies" 1t was
under these auspices that the meet
ing got under way.
Green in his speech began a long
outline of the attitude of public of
ficials, court justices and legal repre-
sentatives to the injunction. Senator
Pepper of Pennsylvania, arch reac-
tionary, was quoted as to the menace
of the injunction. Something has to
be DONE" said Green quoting Pepper,
"or a revolutionary situation in the
United States will develop"
"But we are going to fight this
menace" he continued. eve will hold
meetings throughout the country
Groans became audible at various
parts of the hall. Don't laugh
Green shouted, becoming peeved. 1--WE
are really going to fight for freedom -
Later he outlined the suffering of
the miners. "And it is under these
conditions that the employers have
secured injunctions against us. But
we are fighting back. We have been
sending relief to the miners"
At this point someone shouted:
Sixty cents per man, average y
Green tried to continue: eve have
been supporting our brothers, in
Pennsylvania, in Ohio, in Indiana, in
West Virginia and we will continue
to do so as long. :"
Colorado, Colorado, Colorado" was
shouted from a thousand threats in
every part of the hall. Five minutes
more of cheering and shouting fol-
lowed. Chairman Ryan was dispatch
ed to the rear of the hall to consult
with the chief of the Industrial Squad
whose thirty or more huskies were
stationed within the hail. Apparently
no method could be devised to stop
the three thousand unionists most OF
whom obviously We're in sympathy
with a program of real action.
One of the amusing features at the
meeting was the sudden appearance
upon the stage, besides Green, of a
jovial faced individual who has
stepped on the stage at recent other
meetings with the calm announce
ment: "Let me speak, / am the Mes
siah." This incident was repeated
yesterday and added to the discom-
future of the said Green. This like
wise "unwanted" individual was as
sisted from the stage.
You Said 1t, Andy.
Andrew Furuseth gave long &C.
count of the development of the is
suance of injunctions. He broke off
his dramatic" discourse with the
unique contribution: well, guess !
have said many things that ]
shouldn't have stated here" John
Sullivan, member of the Brewery
Workers Union, lived up to his repu-
tation of saying all the things a good
Iammany politician 1--WE want 1gnt
wines and beerD should say.
William D. Mahon promised to
flight the injunction to a finish, no
matter what happens" Nathan D.
Perlman, counsel for the Amalga-
mated Association, announced that he
had his ideas of what the Inter
borough would do in the case of the
present injunction ISSUE" but pre-
ferred not to state them. There were
few smiles on the platform when he
announced that he and the labor of
ficials We're opposed to the increased
fare move of the /. r. T.
A minister and a priest also spoke
for several hours, fifteen minutes
each.
! Then the brass band began it's thun-
der.
