out ON STRIKE
Strikebreaking Trick by
Newark Ledger

NEWARK, N. j., June 26.-More
than $50 BARRIERS struck yesterday be-
cause the bosses refused to accept the
agreement settled upon last year, for
this year. The agreement the strik-
ing BARRIERS wish to renew provides
for working from 8 a. m. to 8 p. m.
from Monday to Friday inclusive, and
from 8 a. m. to p. m. on Saturdays.
A drive for organization is being
conducted simultaneously with the
strike for the renewal of the agree
ment. Adolf Rosenbaum, general or
ganizer of the BARRIERS International,
of the American Federation of Labor,
is the organizer of the strike here.
An attempt to break the strike has
been quickly initiated by the Newark
Ledger, which did not hesitate to de-
clare that the wives of the striking
BARRIERS were urging them to accept
the dictates of the employers. The
strikers are in high, militant spirit
and are being well supported, it is
known. Picketing is being carried on
at many barber shops throughout the
city.
A strike meeting is being called for
tonight at the headquarters of the
Journeymen BARRIERS International
Union, Local BIT, at 220 Plane st.
Further plans for the strike will be
discussed there.

BQunaes Law
Sent 100 to
Jail for Life

OSSINING, N. Y, June 26. - I'm
der the Baumes Laws, 100 men, many
of them in their early twenties, have
received life sentences in the last rs
months. Raymond F. c. Keib, Com

Of these 100 men, over fifty have

those sentenced stole a nickel from

The Baumes Laws, including the
one prescribing life term for any

BETRAY TRACTION
STRIKE in CONN.
Call Off Walkout at
Last Moment

NEW HAVEN, Conn, June &c. -
Within "a hours Of the scheduled
strike of $500 union street car men
against the Connecticut Co., union
officials called off the walkout. The
strike would have tied up all trolleys
in central and western Connecticut.
President W. o. Mahon, who helped
betray the New York subway strike,
is in the state.
The Connecticut Co., open shop
New Haven railroad subsidiary, had
amassed formidable army of strike
breakers, special police, lawyers and
spies to break up the strike. Through
the New Haven railroad, which also
controls bus lines through the section,
rail and bus schedules had been de-
vised to supply transportation needs.
Manufacturers rallied behind the
Mfrs. Assn. of Connecticut and made
a census of all employees who had ex-
perience in transportation work.
These were offered to the Connecticut
Co. to break the strike just as they
were to the New Haven during the
1922 railway Garments strike.
The proposed strike arose from de-
mands of union car men for rs cents
an hour instead of 81 cents on two
men cars; 80 cents instead of SO cents
on one-man cars; 80 cents instead of
72 cents on buses. The union also
demands official recognition, rather
than parleys between the company
and an employees committee, the g.
hour day and representation on the
company's discipline board.
Connecticut Co. workers have the
privilege" the company states, of
appealing fines and other penalties to
the president and "even" to the board
of directors. Only one appeal, how
ever, has ever been made to the board
and none at all to the president dur
ing the past year.

Everyone comedies that it is AL

is clear that the democrats will fol-
low the republicans in the vaudeville
stunt of casting up into the air a
farmers" candidate for vice-presi-
dent, probably Joe Robinson of Ar

real farmers will believe that it is

subterfuge and deception which is be-

because more indirect, than that prac-

fact which likewise marked the dull,

the fact that the democracy" will

this convention far more secret enc

But Wall Street, which openly sup
ports both Hoover and Smith, it is
pointed out, needs just such small,

LAND BARONS IN

Land Owners in Move

MANAGUA, Nicaragua, Aug. %.
Vigilance committees in the State
Of Neuva Segovia have been organ
lied by sixty landowners and mine
owners to help the United States
marines in their fight against the
SANDING Army of independence, and
to help the marines in patroling the
towns when the elections take place.
This action on the part of the
landowners and mineowners is an
attempt to prevent the nationalist
ton of their land and property by
General SANDING, who has proclaimed
his own government in the Depart
ment OF Neuva Segovia.
The naturalization of large
estates and mines has provided the
SANDING government with provisions
and gold for the manufacture Of
money. The committee of vigilants
has its counterpart in the vigilantes
used by large companies throughout
South America, composed mostly Of
men imported from The United
States, to prevent the organization
of militant unions.
simultaneously the United States
election board has announced it's ap-
