KENOSHA, Wis. (By maiD AT a
meeting of the 800 workers locked
out of the Allen A Hosiery Mill here,
Louis J. Budenz, a leader of the strik-
ers, announced that thereafter no one
will be allowed to attend strike meet
ings with the exception of those on
strike and their immediate relatives" "
A representative of the Young Work
ers League of America, who is also
correspondent for The DAILY WORK
Err, was asked to leave the hall.
Police Attend.
At a previous meeting the day be-
fore Budenz had declared that all
strikers meetings are open to repre-
sentatives of the Kenosha News and
the police, as well as to the sympa-
thizers who care to attend. What
made Budenz declare that all meet
ings are closed to strikers just one
day after his former statement.
Since the beginning of the lockout
of the $50 workers, the leadership of
the strikers represented by the
pseudo-liberal Louis F. Budenz and
the vice president of the American
Federation of Full Fashioned Hosiery
Workers, have refused to carry on any
real militant tactics to win the strike.
The Young Workers League, local
Kenosha, took the lead in pointing out
to the strikers the necessity of call
ing out the hundreds of unskllled
workers who are working for the
Allen A. Co. The League has also
demanded that mass picketing be
conducted in order to keep out scabs.
At present there are over $50 scabs
working fer the Allen \ Co.
Makes Bluff
Budenz objected to the leaflets is
sued by the Young Workers League
in conversation with League rep
resentative. But he was forced to
make a bluff of allowing the strik-
ers to picket the Allen A mill as the
strikers were growing impatient with
his doing nothing to violate the In
junction He therefore allowed the
strikers to picket for half an hour
when the scabs were leaving the mill
two or three times a week. In this
way he intended to keep down the
discomfort that would have arisen
among the strikers if pieketing had
not been allowed.
However, the Young Workers
League continued to issue leaflets
calling upon the strikers to organize
daily mass picketing from early in
the morning until night, and the i'm
portance of calling out the morgan
lied was stressed. Hundreds of copies
of The DAILY WORKER were dis
tributed to the strikers.
1t was then that Budenz determined
to keep out Of the meetings the rep
resentatives of The DAILY WORKER
and members of the Young Workers
League, in spite of the fact that the
League representative helped picket
the plant whenever the strikers
threw a picket line around the Allen
A Co., while Budenz would ride away
in his machine to the hotel Dayton

Lew Head, canned" as editor of a
Pasadena capitalist paper, spoke on
the subject, "The socialist party plat
form" He dealt with few of the
main planks, such as public owner
ship, unemployment insurance and
civil liberties, etc, and his defense of
the instrument ran along the same
lines as reformers' speeches generally
do. "This platform is practical
one" he declared. LaFollette SYM

can vote for it, he continued "Then
it must be reactionary," voice said.
Instead of going forward, the late
Robert M. LaFollette advocated

Announcement of the meeting read
in part, as follows: "The National
Convention of the socialist party just
held in New York City adopted what
many believe is the finest platform

less than four per cent of the estim-

glad to have some sympathizers!' he
continued. Then he proceeded to tell
a story about an Irishman who also
was out looking for sympathizers.
The man was advised to go to Boston,
Mass, where nearly all the Irish are
on the police force" Well, the police

60 Per Cent of Motor Expenditures

on his vehicle has grown during each
OF the last 10 years In almost geometric
ratio to the increase in automobile
registrations" Commissioner Webster
said. where the American motorist OF
1918 spent 20 cents of his car dollar
for service, he spent 81 cents in 1927.
THE fact that motor car manufac-
turers today are building more mileage
anu transportation into their automO-
biles and making them speedier' and
sturdicr than ever before is the real
secret OF the increasing demand for
service. because the public Is buying
m~re cars than ever before and are
rapidly learning that an automobile Is
a piece Of transportation machinery
which must be taken good care Of II It
is to be operated safely, comfortably
and economically.
"On the basis of the number of cars
that will be manufactured sold and
registered in the United States this
year. 1t Is ultra conservative to say
that at least so cents of every automo-
bile dollar spent by the American
motorist in 1928 will be for mainte-
nance and service. American registra-
ton of motor vehicles will easily pass
25000.000 by next December. This
means that Americas automobile bill
for 1928 will top by many millions the
already stupcndous $4,000 100000 total
Of 1927. and that $4,000, 100000 of this
will checrfully be paid by the American
motorist to keep his car running and in
good condition on the road"
