The article declared that the

the workers are rallying more and

to Lead 20 Back Is
Laughing Stock
More Evicted Need Aid
Senators in New Move
Avoid Hearing Facts

Especial to the Daily Worker)
GASTONIA, N. c., May 24.-The
Manville-Jenckes Co. drive to break
the strike in the Loray Mill by
drawing back some of the leading
strikers has proven q flat failure.
The mill had promised a select
group of strikers their old jobs back,
better houses and a slight increase
in pay. The strikers answer to the
mill bribes was that if the Manville-
Jenckes Co. was willing to increase
wages, or had any other terms to
offer, it should be referred to the
strike committee of the National
Textile Workers Union.
A traitor to the workers, who had
promised to deliver the 20 most in
fluential strikers to the mill, has
been refused a Job by the Manville-
Jenckes Co. following the complete
collapse of his plan. He is now a
laughing stock among the workers,
who are more determined than ever
to continue on strike. Many of them
state that if the mill is willing to
increase the wages of some of the
workers in an attempt to break the
strike, it can raise the wages of all
the workers.
More Evictions.
The eviction campaign has again
started. Vicious tactics are being
used against the strikers being
evicted. During the absence of J.

Pointing out that "the workers

the union officials" the statement
declares that principles cannot be
arbitrated." AS evidence of the
treachery of the union officials, the
statement charges that the building
trades "leaders" have submitted the
question of the sympathetic strike,
the use of non-union made fixtures,
etc., to arbitration, following the
lockout threat of the bosses.
This sell-out must be resisted by
the building trades workers, the
statement urges. "Vote against ar

BERLIN, May 24.-The Berlin
Neukoelln court yesterday acquitted
three young workers who were ac-
cused of participating in the May
Day disturbances.
The evidence showed that the
police attacked the public and fired
without warning, and also showed
that the police beat up the prisoners.
The witnesses for the defense pre-
vented the prosecutor from present
ing his evidence by standing up and
demanding the acquittal of the ac-
cused without further proceedings.
In another trial, Vierkorn, a
worker, who was accused of stopping
a tramway in Neukoelln on May

WORKERS DEMONSTRATE TODAY IN union SQUARE
AGAINST POLICE BRUTALITY and MASS ARRESTS!

THOUSANDS of New York workers
who have felt the heavy night stick
of the Tammany Hall police will
gather in Union Square today at
1:30 to protest the brutality in
strikes of Walker and Whalen's
"cossacks," the police assault on
the Workers Center last Saturday,
when they dubbed and jailed the
workers children, and the granting
of injunctions as strike breaking
weapons in the cafeteria, needle
trades and other strikes.
Today District 2 of the Commu-
mist Party issued a statement thor
oughly exposing Commissioner of
Police Whalen for his weasel-like
declaration to the press, following
visit from committee of law
yers, in which Whalen blandly de-
MED that the police wantonly beat
up workers, though the day by day
evidence reeks with their bloody as
saults on pickets in the present food
strike. Whalen was trying by this
slippery tactic to head off the mass
demonstration today.
Lifshitz Still Jailed.
And Benjamin Lifshitz, acting
district organizer of District 2 of
the Communist Party, arrested in
the attack on the Workers Center,
still lies in Jail, deprived by artifi-
cial legal technicalities, put up by
Tammany, of his right to be released
on bonds during appeal of the case.
Particularly the workers of the
militant unions, whose members
have faced the police terror in many
hard fought strikes, the food,
needle trades, shoe and other unions
and such workers organizations as
the International Labor Defense,
Trade Union Educational League,
Anti-Imperialist League, and others,
will protest the assault last Satur-
day when police of Whalen's newly
uniformed gunner broke ranks and
destroyed a sign on the Workers
Center. The sign read: down With
Walkers Police Brutality" The
meeting will denounce the beating
up of the workers children, the
Young Pioneers, which followed
when the Pioneers demonstrated
against the tearing down of the sign,
and against the arrest of Lifskitz
because he refused to take down the
sign.
