TRY TO FRAME
Shoe striker
F a il t O Intin1idate
Militant Workers

Despite intimidation of shoe
workers striking under the leader
ship of the militant Independent
Shoe Workers Union, intimidation
being extended even into the homes
of the workers, the strikers are
standing solid for their demands.
An example of the gangster meth
DDS against the strikers was the
action of detectives and thugs in
entering the home of Salvatore Con-
stanza, shoe striker, at 6 am. last
Wednesday, and ordering him to
dress at once. He was taken to a
police station and held incommuni-
cado, until Thursday evening,
When the Union officials located
him they were told that the worker
was being held on 1000 bail on a
charge of feloneous assault.
When the Union wished to bail
Constanza out, it was learned that
bail had been increased to 5000 at
the suggestion of La Velle owner of
the shop in which Constanza
worked. The La Vale shop is one
of the % which locked out its work
ers, and broke it's agreement, at
the suggestion of Commissioner
Wood of the Department OF Labor

should come up.
Criticize Official.
The report of the organizer and
ary-treasurer, August Burk-
hardt, was criticized sharply by the
militants because it showed a real
activity to organize the food fac
tories, such as the National Biscuit
Company, which has plant in New
York with about 5000 workers, and
the packing houses in the West,
which have thousands of workers,
and even the big chain restaurants.
In this struggle the militants were
opposed by groups of Lore SYM

headed by the Tammany politician,
Friedloia, tie organizer in Local s.

Go to the U. S. S. r.

Mario Giletti, anti-fasc:sr worker,
whom the U. S. government had
planned to hand over to the fascist
terror in Italy, has been permitted
entry in the Soviet Union. Giletti
had been held at ELS Island for de-
portation. He was arrested in Chi
cago in 1925 when he applied for
aid at the Intalian consulate. He
was beaten up and forced to sign
a confession that he had shot at
fascist in New York.
Extradited to New York he was
framed up to a prison term of 1 10
to years, and served a year and
a half of this. A decision by Judge

section is rising daily, as rational
ization grows and lay-offs continue.
PATERSON, N. J., Dec. 8.-Over
1000 workers have been laid off by
the Wright Aeronautical Corp. in
the last wet weeks. AS the govern
ment demand for war planes is
again increasing, the plant is gradu-

former men workers, women work
ers are being hired at $14 a week.
DETROIT, Dec. S.-Thousands of
workers have been thrown out of
work in the closing down of the
Fisher Body Plant Is, part of the
huge General Motors chain. This

The session yesterday proceeded
in dull fashion, Baroof reporting
that the left wing had "criminally
wasted' a large part Of the union
treasury by spending it on a strike.
The delegates 'shuddered, for obvi-
ously, that money could have been
saved for Schlesinger and graft.
Ex-judge Panken, of New York,
appeared and conducted little de-
bate with Woll over the best tactics
to keep the workers from voting
Communist. Panken, socialist party
member, is cfraid they won't al
ways vote the openly capitalist
ticket, and wants the union to be
up-to-date like the New York Times,
and help put over the socialist party
swindle. Woll sticks out for the old
methods, saying the proletariat
mustn't be allowed to suspect even
the existence of classes or class
struggle. There will be a vote
eventually, the convention to de-
eide which tactic is to be followed,
