Court Forced to Free
Jennie Cooper, LID.
Head in Philadelphia

PHILADELPHIA, (By MaiD.-
Lack of evidence forced Magistrate
Fitzgerald today to discharge Jennie
Cooper, local international Labor
Defense secretary, previously ar
rested for attempting to defend 81
strikers of the Laird Schober Shoe
Plant.
Cooper tried to enter the court
room Immediately on learning that
the defense lawyer had not appeared
at the hearing. Following instruc-
lions from the VIGOROUSLY pre-
JUDGED Fitzgerald to bar all repre-
sentatives of the l. L. D., police had
refused to allow her to enter. Fitz-
gerald had been particularly irri-
tated when he saw hundreds of strik-
ers outside the station house await
ing the result of the trials.
Cooper had argued her way past
one policeman just as the judge was
launching his customary vicious at
tack against the strikers. He i'm
mediately ordered her arrest.
Strikers who crowded outside the
station on the day of the arrest and
at the trial loudly cheered Cooper
on her release, which, besides the re-
cent mass arrests, only strengthened
the determination of the Laird Scho-
Der workers, now entering the fifth
week of the strike, to force the COM
pany to surrender to union terms.

SAY CAPPELLINI
MOVES TO SPLIT
UNIV Anthracite Gang
in Deadly Feud

WILKES-BARRE, June 6.-The
Boylan clique which now enjoys the
offices of District l of the United
Mine Workers of America and the
profitable business of selling out the
miners in that organization to the
bosses held a meeting here yester-
day and decided to appeal the de-
cision of the district court of Judge
Lehman that Boylan's no less
treacherous rival, Cappelini must go
on the ballot against Boylan for
presidency.
Meanwhile rumors are current
that Cappelini is about to appear in
public with Frank McGarry, the head
of an independent union which has
practically disappeared after mis-
management of the strike it had in
Pittston, and advocate a secession of
the three anthracite districts of the
United Mine Workers of America,
from the rest of the organization.
After the ruling of Judge Lehman
that Cappelini and Lavelle, his
henchman, should go on the ballot
of District l, Joseph Moran, another
old misleader sued to be put on the
ballot too, running for the office of
district auditor.
The fight between the Boylan and
Cappelini gangs is one in which the
most of the United Mine Workers of
America members feel the same in
terest that the horse who is being
driven may have for two men
quarreling over the whip.
The militant workers here who
mean to make unionism count are
mostly not in the United Mine
Workers of America. They are in
the National Miners Union, fighting
the employers for better conditions.
The honest workers left in the U.
M. w. A. will soon learn to leave
it and join the National Miners
Union.

ANOTHER STRIKE
CALLED AGAINST
DRESS SHOP BOSS
Jail 20 Philadelphia
Needle Workers

PHILADELPHIA, June (By
Mail) The Needle Trades Workers
Industrial Union here has declared a
strike against the Vessel and Levy
Shop at 18th and Winter SITS. Three
shops are now completely tied up by
the union-the Louis Fisher, the
Levy and the Brotman shops.
The new strike was precipitated by
the company's arrogant discharge of
a worker for her participation in
the work of a committee which was
negotiating for a price increase.
When other workers protested, they
were also threatened with discharge.
Union workers at the shop ignored
the threat and reported the situation
to the union, which Immediately de-
clared the strike.
Workers Respond to Call.
Enthusiastic response to the strike
call from the workers is reported,
large majority of the shop workers
striking Immediately and others
joining the picket lines daily.
Twenty workers were arrested on
the picket line today and arraigned
on charges of blocking the door,"
However, the obvious weakness of
the charge forced even the pre-
JUDGED judge presiding to discharge
the pickets.
Intense amusement greeted the
answer of the boss to the repre-
sentatives of the union that he would
take back only those workers whom
he liked after they answered the adj
vertisements for help which he ran
in the local press.
Unorganized dressmakers here are
manifesting greater interest in the
program of the union which is lead
ing such successful fights for better
conditions in all three plants. In the
case of the Brotman shop, the boss
had declared a lockout when con-
fronted with union demands. The
workers Immediately launched the
strike.

WEAK TIMbERINC
BURIES MINER
Little Hope to Rescue
Man in Eureka Mine

SUFFER- CREEK, Cal, June g.
Thousands of tons of earth caved
in here yesterday in the South
Eureka mine and buried Michael
Matliek deep underground.
Rescue crews of miners from this
and other camps are working four
men abreast on six hour shifts,
night and day, trying to reach him,
but little hope is held that he will
be taken out alive.
The accident is directly charged
to the greed of the company, which
put Matlick, along with two other
miners, to work on repairs in the
mine, an abandoned shaft used to
handle water from adjoining prop
critics. The timbering had rotted
away. George Carevich, one of his
companions, escaped unaided, while
Thomas Rodovich was, rescued sew
eral hours later.

NEEDLE UNIONS WIN IMPORTANT
VICTORY ON EVE OF FUR STRIKE

strikebreaking activities of the right
wing, and at the same time serving
as a convenient source of free pub
licity for Untermyer.
Win Vital Victory.
On the eve of the general strike
of the furriers, an important vic
tory was won by the Industrial
Union yesterday, with the signing
Of an agreement with the union by
the Federated Rabbit Dressing Cor
poration. AS result of the agree
ment the workers have secured the
40-hour, 5-day week and increases
approximating 25 per cent. Other
provisions of the agreement provide
for equal division of work, no dis
charge and many other points. Due
to the shameless strikebreaking of
the right wing, open-shop conditions
prevailed here for many months.
But the growing strength of the In
dustrial Union was finally respon-
sible for achieving this victory for
Local SO, despite the attempts of
the right wing to interfere with the
negotiations and its willingness to
sign an agreement under any terms.
Louis Hyman, president of the
union, commenting on the victory
last night, said that the signing of
this agreement on the eve of the
strike indicates the growing
strength of the Industrial Union,
"and will surely have favorable
effect on the coming general strike"
Successful Forum.
An open forum of eloakmakers
took place yesterday afternoon at
Bryant Hall, where Joseph Borucho-
WITT, general manager Of the Joint
Board discussed on the present stu
alton in the cloak trade, pointing out
that the publicity about the nego-
tiations of the right wing union and
the various employers associations
in the cloak trade was mere camou-
flage; that an understanding already
exists between the international and
the bosses and that the contemplated
strike is merely intended to force
some of the workers into the ranks
of the International.
Youth and Pointers Meet.
, Two significant meetings were
held last night in the office of the
union. One was the mobilization of
the youth for the coming general
strike; the other was the meeting
of the unorganized fur pointers. The
latter meeting was preparatory or
ganizational meeting, at which the
organization of these exploited
young workers was discussed and
the executive committees elected.
The meeting was of the greatest
Importance, inasmuch as it repre-
sented the first attempt for the or
ganization of the fur pointers, a
section of the trade that consists
largely of young girl workers.
The executive committee will meet
soon and formulate demands for the
pointers, discuss organization plans
and lay a further basis for the or
ganization of the fur pointers, and
to include them in the coming fur
strike.

show the strength of the organiza-
ton. All concluded with the demand
that the union take immediate steps
for a general strickland this de-
mand was enthusiastically applauded
by the membership.
The meeting yesterday indicated
conclusively that the membership is
responding vitality to the slogans put
forward by the Progressive Group
in the union, which for some time
has been warning of the conse-
quences Of Shiplacoff's actions.
Aids Strikebreaking.
That Shiplacoff's action in turning
over the fate of the union into the
hands of representative of the
Tammany Hall department of labor
lays the basis for a sell-out of the
interests of the workers, was
charged by the Progressive Group.
Pointing out the experiences of
other groups of American workers
in various parts of the country, they
declared that the official govern
ment "mediators" invariably per-
formed the role of strikebreakers
and consistently serve the interests
of the bosses.
They point to the most recent ex-
ample in Elizabethton, Tenn, where
Miss Anna Weinstock, of the de-
partment of labor acted as stool
! pigeon for the mill barons and, to-
gether with A. F. of L. officials, sue
ceeded in selling the workers back
into slavery.
Prepares Betrayal.
Shiplacoff in his speech yesterday,
in asking a recommendation of "full
confidence" admitted brazenly that
he sought this in preparation for
agreeing to a compromise" -which
in simple English means nothing
less than. that the interests of the
workers will be sacrificed to the de-
mands of the bosses.
Meanwhile, taking advantage of
Shiplacoff's tactics, the bosses are
continuing to lock out more and
more workers. At the present time
it is estimated that more than 5000
workers have been thrown from
their jobs by the bosses as part of
the offensive against unionism in
the trade.
