communist Election Rally in
Madison Square Garden on
Sunday afternoon, Nov. 3rd.
At this celebration leading Com
munist candidates and three of the
seven defendants in the Gastonia
case, who are being released on bail
while the working class fights to
defeat the vicious class verdict
against them, will speak.
This terror drive, resulting in the
Gastonia verdict, the arrest of 26
Communist leaders in Chicago on
charges of sedition, the sentencing
of six young workers in Los Angeles
to long prison terms, and in the ar
rests and attacks on militant New
York workers in the recent food
workers, needle trades workers and
truck drivers strikes is being car
ried out by representatives of the
three capitalist parties, the republi-
can, democratic and socialist.
The demonstration on Nov. will
therefore be a mobilization of the
workers of New York behind the
election program of the Communist
Party, the only party that fights
against the Tammany-socialist ter
Tor in this city, against the speed
up and wage-cuts, for social insur-
ance for workers, for better housing
and against the danger of imperial
ist war.
While these attacks on the Com
munist Party are going on, Norman

WINDOW BOSSES
START THREATS
Baffled by Success of
Washers Strike

Baffled in every attempt to smash
the strike of 1000 window cleaners,
the Manhattan Window Cleaning
Employers Protective Association is
trying by veiled threats to force all
independent firms that have signed
agreements with the Window Clean
ers Protective Union to break the
contracts.
The charge was proved by Harry
Fcinstein, union secretary, at or
ganization headquarters at Is E. Bird
St. yesterday.
"The boss association is desperate
at the sweeping success of the
STRIKE" Feinstein declared, while
police and underworld thugs, en-
ployed by boss contractors, are fail
ing to break it.
"Now the bosses have a new
scheme. We don't know the exact
nature of the threats made, but our
past experience convinces us the
threats are mere pacifist overtures.'
The chief demands of the union
are the 40-hour, five-day week, an
increase in the minimum wage from
$45 to 1880 week, proper safety
appliances and adequate compensa-
tion insurance carried with solvent
company.
Two more arrests were made dur
ing Saturdays picketing, bringing
the total since the strike started to
%.
Charges of disorderly conduct
against the two men, Joseph Mello
and Morton Glynn, were dismissed
by Magistrate Jesse Silverman in
jefferson Market Court.
