fine against each of them imposed
by the Supreme Court for defiance
of the injunction.
The fines were imposed by Su-
preme Court Justice Thomas Grain
on May 18th who ordered them paid
to the Willow Cafeterias, Inc, be-
fore May 28th. Further legal ac-
tion to appeal the case is being taken
by the union lawyers.
Additional contempt proceedings
against the strike leaders has been
started by the United Restaurant
Owners Association. One hundred
and fifty strikers are scheduled to
appear in the Court of Special Ses-
sions today, charged with violation
of Section 600 of the Penal Law,
which is loosely worded, antiquated
law utilized by the capitalist courts
to punish" strikers for violation of
an injunction. AS the strikers re-
fuse to stop picketing the courts
are growing more desperate in their
determination to help the bosses
break the strike, and are now ar
raigning the strikers as fast as time
and space will permit for defying
the order of the supreme court to
stop interfering with the business"
of the bosses.
Kramberg and Obermeier, in their
last speech to the strikers before
going to Jail, urged them to keep
up the fight in spite of the great
difficulties and obstacles placed in
their way by the united front of
bosses, police, courts, big chain cafe
terias, and the reactionary A. F.
of L. misleaders. They have asked
the Daily Worker to appeal to all
workers to rally to the aid of the
cafeteria strikers whose ranks are
holding firm in spite of police bru-
tality, in spite of the injunction, and
although weakened somewhat by the
fact that so many are in Jail.
Continued treachery on the part
of the corrupt A. F. of L. takers
has aroused great indignation of the
rank and file, who report the strike
breaking tactics to the Hotel Res
taurant and Cafeteria Workers
Union. The bureaucrats are still
providing union" signs to the cafe
terra owners whose places are
struck. In these places, only one or
two cake bakers are members of
the A. F. of L. Local 500. Flagrant
instances of graft accepted by the
labor takers from restaurant and
cafeteria owners are reported by
these rank and filers who are thor
oughly disgusted with their "lead-
ers." More expulsions of progress
sives who are supporting the cafe
terra strikers are expected in the
near fuutre.

.ANTI-IMPE ERIALIST
MOVEMENT HUGE
Meet Held to Mobilize
for World Congress

A conference of representatives of
Latin-American organizations op-
posed to imperialism was held yes
terday afternoon at Lexington Hall,
100 East 10th st.
The purpose as expressed by Julio
Martinez, chairman of the gathering,
was to prepare for the mobiliza-
tion of the greatest possible number
of organizations and individuals for
participation in the anti-imperialist
movement, and particularly in the
Anti-Imperialist Conference to be
held June 18th in New York, at Ir-
wing Plaza. This June 18th Confer
ence will send delegates to take part
in the Second Anti-Imperialist World
Congress at Paris July Goth to 31st.
1t will also take steps to cement the
alliance between the various organi-
zaitons in the United States which
are fighting the aggression of Wall
st. and Washington in Latin Amer
lea and in every corner of the world,
with the organizations of the op-
pressed peoples in those colonial and
semi-colonial lands"
Louis Gibarti international repre-
sentative of the League Against I'm
perialism and for Colonial Independ-
ence, declared that the calling fo a
Second Anti-Imperialist World Con-
gress has been made necessary by
far-reaching changes in the interna-
tional situation, and that the STEAD
lily increasing aggressivness of Yam
kee imperialists" has created urgent
tasks of major Importance for all
opponents of imperialism, and he
emphasized the immediate need for
an intensified fight and enlargement
of the Anti-Imperialist League.
Other speakers were Albert Mo-
reau, secretary of the Latin-Amer-
lean department of the A. A. A. l. L.,
Luis Martinez, delegate from the
Venezuelan Revolutionary Party,
and Manuel Gomez, of the executive
committee of the Anti-1mperialist
League. The Centre Obrera and the
Sociedad Mutualista Mexicana sent
delegates who participated in the
discussion of the problems confront
ing the emancipation movement in
the Latin-American countries under
the political and financial domina-
tion of the United States.

itself is in measured, half-friendly
terms beside which the section of
the left wing is denunciation.
The memorandum boasts of the
fact that Brookwood can cooper
ate with the Y. w. C. A. and labor
colleges in Salem, Philadelphia
and elsewhere, while unable to win
the confidence of the Communists.
Can a left wing institution main
tain its integrity in such a situa-
ton?
It further claims to have the
support Of the "more vigorous ele-
ments in the socialist party" Is
Brookwood, then, to line up with
the socialists, whose union record
it too notorious to need recount
ing here?
The memorandum even goes so
far as to state, "Brookwood sets
itself particular kind of educa-
tional task in order to advance
militant, realistic, progressive la
Dor movement. Members OF the
staff should be chosen for their
willingness and ability to take
part in such task" Hereafter
no left wing instructors will be
tolerated.
Music in Wild Attacks.
On the occasion of discussion of
this, A. j. Music, dean of Brook
wood and leader of the "progres-
sive" forces, took the opportunity to
savagely attack Arthur w. Calhoun,
left wing Brookwood instructor and
critic of progressives, and Robert
Cruden, who condemned the anti.
left character Of the progressive
conference held in New York City
last weekend. "The faculty of
Brookwood," said Music, sis heartily
in sympathy with the progressive
movement. Arthur Calhoun is out
to kill it. In view of the circum-
stances the faculty feel that they
can work no longer with Arthur Cal
houn." Students generally regard
it as notice of dismissal to this left
wing instructor. This is especially
ironical in view of the fact that at
workers education conferences the
Brookwood faculty has always
prated at great length about "acad-
emic freedom" Cruden's request to
answer charges of A. J. Music was
refused by James H. Maurer, white
hope of the progressive movement.
The Brookwood board of directors
passed a resolution providing for
active cooperation with the new
council for progressive labor action,
which is a socialist party, Lore, Sa-
lutzky, combination.

UPPER PITTSTON, Pa. (By
MaiD. - Over six hundred coal
miners were thrown out of work by
the closing down of the Seneca Col
liery of the Lehigh Valley Coal Co.
here, which was shut down when the
company had produced a surplus by
speeding up the men. The colliery,
before shutting down, had worked
only six weeks since January l.,
1929. Over 1000 persons, members
of miners families, face starvation,
and are in a destitute condition.
LUZERNE, Pa. (By MaiD Over
450 coal miners, many employed by

TREVERTON, Pa. (By MaiD -
Suspension of two large collieries
here has been followed by destitu-
ton and poverty in which more than
100 families, including 400 children,
are really in want of bread and the
bare necessities of life.
A mother of five children whose
husbands appeal for aid from the
poor board was refused because he
had lived in another district, threat
ened to go home and kill her chill
dren and then take her own life if
she did not get relief.
The North Franklin and Kathryn
collieries, the former operated by the
Philadelphia and Reading Coal and
Iron Company and the latter by an
individual corporation, closed down
recently and brought on depression.
The North Franklin worked about
70 days through 1928 and only a
few days this year. About 800 men
are employed, most of them residing
in Treverton. The Kathryn mines, a
smaller operation, closed down sew
eral weeks ago.
