The Independent Shoe Workers
Union of Greater New York has
received information that the eight
shoe companies who have been con-
Quoting a lockout against them for
the last several weeks are applying
for an injunction to try and prevent
picketing and to interfere with the
struggle the union is carrying on.
The shop delegates conference
meeting last night in Union Head
quarters, Is w. 81 ST., has pledged
full support to the organization in
this struggle, and the delegates
have assessed themselves percent
age of their wages, to be deducted
weekly and added to the organiza-
tion and strike funds.
The information of the use of the
Tammany courts against this union
has not terrified the members, on
the contrary, the reaction is an an
nounced determination to fight more
vigorously than ever.
The companies which have asked
for the injunction are the Setum,
Colonial, Diana, Refined, Elbee,

Il. S. RQdium
Corp. R0lsons
Unborn Babes
Mothers, Tots Doomed
to Agony

NEWARK, N. j., Nov. 14.-The
United States Radium Corporation
has doomed to slow and hideous
death not only the five working
women who slaved in its Orange
plant, whose case has become fam
Gus, but has also doomed to a life
of torture three children of two
other woman workers of the same
company. For radium poison has
been discovered in these tots, poison
transmitted to the children before
their birth.
Four women, Mrs. Quinta Nc
Donald, Mrs. Albina Larice, kath-
crime Schaub, and Mrs. Edna Huss-
man, were poisoned by pointing
with their lips as they painted lumi-
nous watch diaIs. They are all on
the verge of death, the end being
matter of few weeks, it is said.
The workers were made victims
in the capitalist courts, which
worked with the radium bosses
when the suits of the workers were
settled. Eight hundred dollars a
year for life, this was the miser-
able pittance for which the women
were inveigled into settling.
Mrs. Helen Puck of Red Bank and
Mrs. Ethelwynne Metz of Newark
are the two women workers whose
children have been found to be suf-
fering from radium poisoning trans
mitted to them before their birth.
The three afflicted children are
Walter Puck, six years; Harold
Puck, aged two, and Edward Metz,
six years old.
Doctors who have examined the
children state positively that the
poisoning is a direct result of the
mothers slavery in the U. S. Radium
plant, and that the children's dis
ease is incurable. The children are
pale and anaemic, the joints being
sore and stiff, the preliminary
symptoms of radium poisoning in
it's most malignant form, when the
tissues and bones are being gnawed
away by the radium in the blood.
Mrs. Puck and Mrs. Metz were
poisoned in the radium plant in 1919.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 14.-At the
very outset of the A. F. L. textile

William Green struck the keynote
of A. F. L. betrayal and sell out.
In long speech on the Southern
situation, he complained that in most
of the Southern strikes the workers
cleft their looms before they were
properly organized" This meant
that the United Textile Workers
Union might have to stand by and
watch them get a victory, or still
worse join with the National Textile
Workers Union, which is now lead
ing the battle for better wages,
hours and conditions in the South.
Wherever the U. T. W. has got
control, as at Elizabethton and
Marion, an arrangement between U.
T. W. officials and the bosses has
always been reached, to send the
men back to work without gains, and
usually with a blacklist.
