MILITANTSA APPEAL
TO CONVENTION ON
SICMAN VOTE RULE
Conference Soon of All
Taken Off Ballot

An appeal to the coming conven-
ton of the International Ladies Gar
ment Workers Union, drawn up and
signed with the names Of the parti-
cipants in conference held recently
by all progressives ruled off the bal
lot by the right wing in control OF
Locals 38, &c and 20 of New York,
was made public yesterday by Don
Wishnevsky of Local 38, one of the
initiators of the difference. The ap-
peal condemns the action of the ad-
ministrative machine which refused to
permit them to run for delegates tC
the convention when they declined to
sign statement "condemning &
working class politial party"
Conference April II.
The letter accompanying the appeal
also declares that the New York pro-
gressives excluded from the ballot
are calling conferene of all those
not permitted on the states of other
locals throughout the country. This
conference is to be held in New York
ON Tuesday evening, April II, at
Manhattan Lyceum, 66 E. 4th st.
The primary purpose of this new
conference will be, according to the
statement, to elect a committee of
the excluded delegates to go to the
convention in Boston on May and
present the appeal officially on the
convention floor.
The signatures on the document
adopted at the last conference, which
will no doubt be endorsed by new
additions from the out of town locals,
show that the majority of them are
members in good standing in the
union for many years. Most of them
are union members for from 10 to
10 years.
Condemn Board.
After condernning the action of
the General Executive Board of the
International in ruling them off the
ballot for their political opinion and
for their criticism of the reactionary
administration which destroyed a
once powerful union by their expul-
sion policy, the appeal quotes sec
tions of the constitution adopted at
the last convention of the union which
expressly permits freedom of poll
teal affiliation in an organization
composed of members of all shades
of political thought.
The undersigned progressives, after
pointing to their many years of ac-
iivity in the union, end their state
ment with the following appeal:
delegates! We charge that the
action of the General Executive Board
in violating the laws of our union
was taken with the object of perpe-
tuating themselves in power against
our organization, appeal to you
the expressed wishes of the vast
majority of our membership.
I'VE, the undersigned, members of
many years standing and service in

DEFY TROOPERS
IN BIG REVIVAL
OF STRIKE WAVE
Women Again Lead in
Union Drive

PITTSBURGH, April 9-Threat-
ening to ride over them if they ap-
pear on the picket line tomorrow, five
mounted state troopers under Private
Joe Francis herded more than thirty
wives and daughters of striking min
ers into the road leading to Montour
Number 10 mine at Library this
morning, their horses and clubs
forcing women on.
Although police declared the men
might picket they were showed along
together with the women for a dis
tance. One striker who did not move
fast enough was helped along with
blows by the state troopers.
Women gathered along the road at
five o'clock this morning carrying
signs, Join the United Mine Work
ers of America" crudely traced on
boards. About dozen coal and iron
police kept them moving.
Shortly after six o'clock, five
mounted state troopers swooped down
upon the pickets. Women shouted
protests as. they were driven from the
line but the horses forced them on
"We suffer more than the men, we
and our children" they cried. But
We'll stay on the line until we win
the strike"
One elderly woman who ran to the
Hillock side of the road to escape
the horses was quickly brought bach

told them.
"People believe terrible things
about troopers. They are afraid ever
to drive through the county"
AS Mrs. Dolance left the office she
told reporters the sheriff said that
troopers had acted in accordance with
his instructions. The women com
planned to the sheriff that cops threw
tear bombs and rode horses ovel

women pickets would be arrested
"We don't mind going to JAIL" Mrs
Rupnick declared, "but cops say

"The cleverest and most out of-the-ordinary crook comedy of the season. critics have branded Warner Bros.' production of "The Social Highwayman," opening Sunday at the Liberty.
 It has it's beginnings in a mod erately small1sized town where John Patrick is seen as young reporter, who, during the shufflc after a political bout between two local papers, finds himself not only out of a job, but out of a car appropriated by Duckert Nell son, train and highway robber, played by Montagu Love.
 Wandering through the hinter- land a couple of weeks later, he invites himself for breakfast at the campfire of Dr. R. Rappaport Runyon, itinerant medicine man. When the subject of Duckert Nel- son. the robber, comes up and Runyon expresses admiration for him, our young reported cOnfesses that he is the man, not knowing that Runyon is the Jekyll side of the robber.

age and on the Carson farm. and
about her experiences with the car
