Protests by the International La

lodged with Police Commissioner

punitive measures against Mounted
Policeman 11124, for almost beating

these organizations.
Great relief was manifested by
the workers in the strike hal when
word was received from Bellevue
Hospital that Albert Rescigne was
definitely out of danger. Until now
q definite assurance of recovery for
the brutally assaulted worker were

COOP OR 0 VS.;
OPEN ICE CREAM
AND CIGAR STORE
Food Reduction for
Members Soon

The PROLETCOS has covered an
other milestone on the march of it's
development. Beginning with small
cafeteria it met with such marvel
Gus success that it soon opened the
new large and beautiful cafeteria
restaurant located in the Workers
Center. To-date, the number of
workers using the restaurant h a
passed the 1000 mark. This is the
real test of a workers cooperative.
The Proletcos has shown its worth
by the fact that it is able to attract
wide masses of workers.
This organization has now reached
a point when it is able to cover an
other need of the workers.
Spring is here. The hot days of
summer are drawing dangerously
near. A dish Of ice cream, a glass
of ice cold soda becomes as much
of necessity as meal. The Pro-
letcos was quick in it's response to
this need of the consumers and
opened, at the same address where
the cafeteria is located, % Union
3d., an up-to-date ice cream parlor.
But this is not all.
Right in the cafeteria one can
find a cigar and cigarette store,
where all brands of cigars and cigar
cites are sold.
In the near future the Proletcos
will announce a plan whereby those
workers who are members of the
organization will receive a reduction
on their food. Those workers who
are not members should act at once
and join. Those who have Joined,
but who have not paid for their two
shares must make haste and pay up.
The Proletcos is growing. Our
cooperative Is making progress.
Much more however can be done.
We ask all workers to become men,
bers and give US hand. By doing
this you will not only help the
Proletcos, but the Left Wing move
ment as whole

6 Strikes Now On; Men
Stand Firm

Two more shoe manufacturing
plants are shut down by 100 per cent
strikes, called by the Independent
Shoe Workers Union. Six shoe
plants are now paralyzed by organ
ization strikes.
Of the two new strikes, the Barlin
Shoe Co., 70 Bridge St, Brooklyn,
had it's production halted yesterday
when the crew of 60 walked cut de-
handing decent living standards and
recognition of the union. The en-
tire crew of 100 closed down the
Welset Shoe plant at 500 Broadway
by striking.
After all the elaborate prepara-
tions for recruiting strikebreakers,
made by the Griffin and White and
Arthur Bender firms, only about six
scabs are at work for the latter
company. Out-of-town workers, i'm
ported by the scab agency IN the
Broadway Central Hotel here, de-
manded and got their fare back
when they saw a strike was in
progress.
Energetic picketing is being car
RED on at the two ve-mentioned
shops, as we'll as at the Morgan
Grossman Co. and Lipp Shoe Co.
The workers are determined to stick
till-liko thousands of other work
ers-they gain union standards and
a permanent fighting organization
