SHOE union wins
8 more STRIKES
Schwartz & Benjamin
Forced to Settle


Victorious after strike Of almost
two weeks, the workers CT the
Schwartz and Benjamin Shoe Co.,
Brooklyn, yesterday forced the
losses to sign an agreement giving
complete recognition to the hide
pendent Shoe Workers Union, I'M
der whose militant leadership the
strike had been fought and won,
and to make closed shop of the
factory.
Two other strikes in Brooklyn
plants we're settled. yesterday, with
the union recognized. The Schwartz
and Benjamin, however, was the
biggest victory, as the company had
done all in its power to break the
strike, failing its leaders and estab-
fishing a scab agency. Only the I'M
flinching solidarity of the strikers
and the able leadership of the union
made the victory possible.
A communication from union
headquarters yesterday announced
that workers in two more shops in
Brooklyn had struck, demanding
union conditions, closed shop, rec
ignition. More complete details of
these strikes viii be published
shortly.
The union, in statement issued
to the workers yesterday, urges all
workers in shoe factories not to al
low themselves to be provoked by
agents of the bosses, but to bring
the facts Of their conditions to the
attention of The Independent Shoe
Workers Union, where strike plans
and strategy will be formulated.

to draw away potential forces from
the proletarian anti-fascist united
front by playing on the false
premises of democratic formulate.
We are not highly impressed by
the democratic fetish as conceived
by the co-operators of the capitalist
imperialist states who today direct
the destinies of the S. and L. I.
Since liberty can never exist in a
society divided in classes and there
fore dominated by certain special
and not by general common in
terests, we are struggling for the
abolition of classes and for the con-
quest of liberty, in other words, for
the establishment of that democracy,
whose principles it will be possible
to apply only when the intelligent
self-interest of the workers has been
substituted for the narrow egcism
of the capitalist class.
In the coming world anti-fascist
congress, the real, the sincere revo-
lutionists, we are convinced, will
give an eloquent reply to the manipu-
lators of political compromises of
the S. and L. l., whose complete lack
of political sensibility allows them
to conduct, without a feeling of re-
pugnance, a struggle against the
revolutionary Union of Socialist
Soviet Republics.

BUENOS AIRES, Feb. 21.-The
local plant of the General Motors
Corporation is paralyzed by a
strike, much to the indignation of
George Wolf, general manager. The
strikers demands affect both hours
and wages.
In addition, 1000 port workers
struck today, embracing about 80
per cent, it is said, of the Maritime
Workers Federation, against the
system of so-called inspector" in
stalled by the bosses, as measure
of fighting the union. Wage de-
mands are being made. The strike
area is in the neighborhood of the
Boccas docks. Ship owners say
that they have been unable to clear
their vessels for several days, be-
cause of the lockers.
With the lockers, in solidarity
strike, there are also an additional
500 chauffeurs of the port area,
and the drivers of trucks, in order
to make a complete tie up of the
district affected.

door by Mrs. Wallace. who received
him in SO tragic a manner that he i'm
mediately became apprehensive and
frightened.
20, Mr. Felton," the woman began.
Ruth has been taken sick-it's the
theater that did it. The doctor says
she's worked too hard"
Tell me-about it," the boy blurted,
his heart in his throat. Where is
Ruth now?"
She's in bed" Mrs. Wallace in
formed him, sorrowfully. But she
can't see no one. The doctor says she
ought to go away-to the country
somewheres. These places in the coun-
try are awful expensive, Mr.. FELTON,.
They're for rich folks-that's what
they are"
IF there's anything I can do :"
FELTON, began, falteringly. He thought
at once Of the money he had just re-
ceived.
That's what Ruth said" Mrs. Wal
lace answered him, ostentatiously
sitting a sob. "She said you'd help
her if you could. 0, Mr.. FELTON,, it's
so good Of you to offer. The poor girl
was afraid maybe-that is, that you
mightn't be able to do anything for
her. But she said it wouldn't do no
harm to ask you"
"No-of course not" he murmured,
eagerly. Il can't do a great deal, but
how much do you need?"
Well. Mr.. Felton," the woman be-
gan, glancing at him %furtively, would
a thousand dollars be too much for
you? -" She paused, her words
suspended, and narrowed her eyes ex-
pectantly.
FELTON, did not hesitate. He took
out his check book and filled in a
blank for one thousand dollars. The
WOman'S face beamed as he passed it
over to her, and her grief gave way
Immediately to smiling and voluble
thanks.
Cant / see Ruth-just for a minute?'
FELTON, begged distractedly.
She's too sick-poor girl" the
mother informed him resolutely. "And
the doctor says nobody was to see her

And she did write to him. After a
week Of torment, FELTON, received a
letter from a small sanitarium in the
Adirondacks. 1t was a tender, solicitous
letter, bidding him not to worry, and
holding out hope for their future.
He received two other letters, and
then the news that she was nearly
we'll, and was returning within a week
or SO. At just this time Trask sent
for him.

ture Of my employees" he began, giving

The speaker was a John Hopkins M.
d. who, though barely thirty, had be-
gun to attract national attention with
his researches in g%landular secretlons.
He glanced, as If for approval, across
the table to Grier, for years a stan
member of the Rockefeller Institute.
Grier acknowledged Wyman's look
with a thoughtful nod.

bonnie. after attempting an analysis OF

mo court of law would admit any
of this co-called evidence of spiritual
ISM" threw in Coberly, a dignified,
middle aged lawyer who sat at Grlers
right.
A brief silence ensued, and Wyman
at length turned to the fourth men,
Der of the group. who, during the dis
cussion had S~crupulously refrained
from any comment.
Don't you agree. DR.. Sayllle,' he
asked, that all this talk about the
naturalization OF the dead is rank
nonsense?"
These four friends met once a week
in this same secluded corner OF the
Knickerbocker Club grill.
DR.. Saville, being the Oldest and
wisest in the ways Of life. had as
sumed a sort of intellectual leader

from his mouth and with a gentle
smile said. The tenets of spiritual

At this moment a well built. serious
looking young man passed close to
the table on his way from the room
and bowed to DR.. Saville with a friend
", intimate smile.
When he was out of hearing Coberly
remarked: "Felton's a lucky man.

and is received everywhere"
DR.. Saville drained his glass and,
setting it down decisively, leaned over
the table.
I'm going to tell you something
about Daniel Felton," he announced.

her head fell forward on her breast.
Feluon's idolatry was such that even
this request was like a sacred command
to him.
FELTON, was very busy the next two
days. Trask had turned over q civil
case to him and he was in court most
OF the time. He had no opportunity
to see the girl, but there was some COM
pensation for this in the fact that he
won his case in particularly brilliant
fashion and secured judgment for the
entire amount sued for.
The case had been accepted partly
on a contingent basis and the morning
after Judgment had been rendered
Trask called him to the Office and pre-
sented him with a check for $1,000
a percentage bonus for having o
the suit. 1t IA an unusual thing for
Trask to do, but FELTON, was too happy
to question it. 1t was a beginning Of
the things he had been hoping for.
Late that afternoon he fastened to

will at the last minute and left every
thing to FELTON,. In many ways it is
an amazing tale-from Wyman's purely
materialistic viewpoint, at least.

slightly.

but an emergency arose, and LENT 1t

A silence followed. The smile on
Trask's face was supplanted by a
shrewd. disdainful look. Lent it?" he
repeated, mercilessly. ITO a woman,
perhaps?"
A hot wave of color surged to the
boys cheeks. Eyes, to a woman-the

Il don't want to see it," FELTON, flung
back, holly. Whatever Miss Wallace
wants me to know she'll tell me her

The old man studied him sharply
for a few seconds, and then dismissed
him with an ironic shrug.
That night, tortured by the memory
of Trask's words, FELTON, sat for hours
in his study fiphting with a vague
sense of worry which had crept into
his mind.
