sey Banking Securities Company, it
was decided to call off the hearing of
the officials of the Newark Clearing
House Association, who were sche-
duled to appear The New Jersey

S TRIKE LEADERS
Write TO DAILY"
In Jail, Ask Letters
From Readers

In spite of being imprisoned in a
New Bedford jail while the police on
slaught on the strikers ranks be-
comes moro vicious, William T.
Murdoch, sacretary and Fred E. Beal,
organizer of the Textile Workers I'm
ion of the Textile Mills Committee
send almost daily messages of en-
enlargement to the strikers, and have
now sem a short letter, reprinted
here.
The International Labor Defense
has not as yet succeeded in obtaining
the freedom Of the two strike leaders
thru an appeal to a higher court.
Murdoch faces a 90-day term, and
Beal a 30-day sentence for "peace
disturbance
In a message given to The DAILY
WORKER staff correspondent in
New Bedford, Beal makes several re-
quests for himself and Murdoch of
the strike sympathizers. The mes
sage follows:
''The textile bosses have decided
that the best way to keep William
Murdoch and myself from disturbing
their peace is to imprison us. We
have plenty of time on our hands to
read. They will not allow daily pa
pers to enter and so this excludes The
DAILY WORKER which we miss
very much. l have even asked the
keepers to buy The Nation but l have
not received them yet. We would
especially like to receive letters from
comrades and fellow workers and
friends from everywhere, letting us
know what they are doing in the
world for labor. Address all COM
munications to Fred E. Beal or Will
liam Murdoch, to Box Al, New Bed
ford, Mass"
The Imprisonment of these two
strike leaders marked an immediate
turning point in the 12-week old
strike. A tremendous increase in mil
itancy was Immediately apparent as
soon as the police terror began by
failing the strike leaders. The Inter
national Labor Defense announces
that it will soon complete the neces-
sary steps to permit their return to
activity.

Summer Heat Takes Big
Toll at Crowded Beaches

To escape the sitting heat half of
New York crowded the beaches, and,
as a result of this exodus from the
crowded districts, twent people lost
their lives. The workers living in the
crowded slums left the city at dawn
and crowded the shore resorts, in an
attempt to find days recreation in
the overcrowded surf.
In the rush truck driver, who
could not afford this luxury but had
to make the best of his way over
jammed roads, lost his life in col
lision. A few children were killed on
the highway and twelve people were
drowned in the surf.

easier and quicker rest and re-

Physicians recognize that the
strain in industrial workers must
necessarily be almost entirely
nervous in origin. This nervous
strain makes everything go wrons

havoc with tempers. 1t depends
on three factors: unsuitability OF
occupation, inefficient manage

can all be overcome by medical

service and by giving as far as
. possible absolute security.
