TERROR RULE FOR

Meet Members Protest
With Bullets

WILKES-BARRE, Pa, Feb. H.
The struggle of the rank and file in
the local union of the United Mine
Workers against the officialdom that
is working hand in hand with the
Pennsylvania coal company has re-
suited in death for Agati, one of of
ficialdom's supporters.
Thursday morning at 10 o'clock
Bonito, of the rank and file opposition,
called with other members of the
grievance committee of Local 1903 at
the Wilkes-Barre headquarters to in
sist that certain grievances be dealt
with. The officials at the headquar-
ters office, however, attacked Bonito
and his fellow committee members.
Bonito's nose was broken in the as
sault. Bonito then shot in his own
defense and Agati's death resulted.
Bonito knew the tactics of the ma
chine and took no chances.
Molesk and MENDOZA, the other two
committee members, gave themselves
up and are being held by the police.
Feeling is high among the rank and
file against the officialdom, especially

CLEANERS, DYERS
STRIKE MONDAY
Officials Expel Active
Militant First

The officials of the Allied Council
of Cleaners and Dyers, representing
the three unions in the industry, have
declared that the members of the or
ganizations involved will not report to
work on Monday morning. The stop
age will result in virtual shutdown
of all the wholesale and retail clean
ing and dyeing establishments in
Greater New York, Westchester and
northern New Jersey.
Of the three unions involved, two
of them have membership of bona
fide workers, while the other, which
lis the largest, is composed mainly OF
the owners of small retail stores in
New York. The latter, however, have
a charter from the American Fedora
ton of Labor. One union is COM
posed of drivers who are members OF
the teamsters' union.
Shortly before the union officials
made public their intention of calling
a strike they took action, however,
which would prevent the general
membership of the workers unions
from presenting wages and hours de-
mands in addition to the reorganizing
plans. This they accomplished by ex-
pelling seven active members who,
they feared, would lead the member
ship in such demands. During the
past week the officials expelled from
membership Of the executive board
Jack Lifschitz, Nat Greenberg, j.
Breen and Benny Lerner; and from
membership in the conference COM
mittee A. Naparsteck, N. Rosenberg,
and M. Hellerstein.

LABOR RESPONDS
TO DAILY CALL

The rapid increase in subscriptions
and newsstand sales of The DAILY
WORKER during the past week re-
veal that the American working class
understands the purpose of the at
tack which the American capitalists
are making on the paper and its edit
ors and realize the gravity of the
situation confronting the entire Am
erican labor movement and its only
daily militant organ.
Rush Contributions.
Scores of contributions pouring
every day into the office of The
DAILY WORKER, are bringing the
financial aid needed by the paper in
the struggle which the American
capitalists have forced on it. Dozens
of letters accompanying the dona
tions with which the militant Amer
lean workers are showing their de-
termination to defeat their class
enemies, are an indication of the
spirit with which the working class
is meeting the latest attempt to
smash it's vanguard and to wreck its
only daily organ.
'T am sending you only five dol
lars" writes Massachusetts worker,
"but work is no good up here and l
am not working either"

The loyalty and generosity Of these

fight against the conspiracy which
the American capitalists have woven
against the paper. Rush your con-
tributions to The DAILY WORKER,
