RAYON BARONS TO
BRING IN SCABS
Strikers Determined to
Resist

ELIZABETHTON, Tenn, March
15.-Announcement was made to-
day by the officials of the Ameri-
can Glanzstoff Corporation, rayon
trust, that they will try to resume
operations with strikebreakers which
the company is preparing to import
in large numbers.
That the desperately determined
strikers, numbering 1000, are not
prepared to accept this submissively
can be CLEANED from the answer
given capitalist newspaper re-
porter by one Of the women strik-
ers, who was asked what they would
do if strikebreakers were imported,
After explaining that there are more
ways than one in which hoe can
be used, she added, "and | haven't
forgotten how to use hoe"

Just as the helpful Governor Hor-

militia officer to stay in the strike

the science of history, is immeasur-
able. The gaps that will be made
by the death of this titan will soon
be felt.

before the might Of this young or
ganization, before the week closes.
The Goldstein Shoe Company, 127
Spring St., hiring crew of 135,
signed up late last night and agreed
to concede all the demands of the
workers. This shop had held the
men on strike for about five days.
The Gerson Style Shoe Company
will probably sign up tomorrow.
Another large firm that is anxi-
Gus to end the strike is the Colonial
Shoe Company where over 100
workers are employed. Acceptance
of the Unions uniform contract was
already conceded, but the firm was
not yet ready to agree to all the
demands of the crew, such as wage
raises, etc. The workers, are to listen
to report and will decide whether
they want to go back or hold out.
A new strike was also declared yes
terday against the Calsrad Co.
and the entire crew is out in answer
to the call.
The fight against the Dan Palter
Co., where $50 are still striking, is
being conducted with the greatest
vigor, despite the negotiations for a
settlement that are going on. This
is the biggest shop to be tackled in
the drive and a strong fight for rec
ognition is being conducted here.
1t was in front Of this shop, at
151 w. .26th St., that. Organizer
Joseph Magliacano, was injured. A
scab had slashed him across the
cheek, inflicting deep wound. Not
a single man is left in the shop, and
it is quite certain that the employer
will submit to unionization and the
wage raise concessions.
Although, injured, Magliacano
was arrested and will be compelled
to face trial in the jefferson Mar
ket Magistrates Court this morning.

Large amounts of war materials, in

lean manufacturers by the Mexican
government through its embassy
here. Additional munitions are be-
ing provided by the United States
government from it's surplus stock.
The wife of an Ell Paso hardware
dealer was arrested at the border
today for smuggling ammunition to
the rebels.
MEXICO CITY, March 15.-The
Mexican government today stated
that federal troops. under General
Gales had driven rebels from the
city of Durango, in the state of Du-
range, and was pressing hastily on
to the northeast in order to reach
Torreon, where the decisive conflict
of the present rebellion is reckoned,
as only matter of hours, or at the
utmost, within two days.
With Gales approaching from the
southwest, Torreon is nearly but not
quite surrounded, with another col
umn of Gales command coming
from Canitas along the railway from
the south, and with three columns
spreading their approach from the
east along and on both sides of the
railway running from Monterey. A
complete encirclement has not yet
been made, as federals have so far
found it impossible to reach point
northwest of Torreon, so as to cut
the railway northwestward to Chi
huahua and the U. S. border which
is their objective in order that rebels
in Torreon cannot retreat.

WASHINGTON, March Is. =
American citizens at Mazatlan, on
