truckers in Harrison stopped six
truekloads of scabs and gunner,
proceeding to the Newark produce
district.
The strikebreakers and thugs were
armed with hammers, jacks and
other weapons, and the strikers, in
self-defense, met the strikebreakers
with the same weapons.
The police quickly came to the
aid Of the scabs, drawing guns on
the workers. This failed to scare
the strikers.
Five strikers were arrested, four
of whom are out on bail for appear
ance in Harrison Police Court Mon
day.
Strikers again fought scabs in
Harrison when pickets refused TO
allow a truck loaded with celery to
proceed at $50 a. m. Saturday.
Infatuated by the action of scabs
and thugs in attacking strikers on
Friday, the strikers determined to
resist any further attacks on them.
In addition to battling the thugs and
scabs in Harrison, they fought scabs
on three different occasions in New
ark Saturday. Each time "riot
squads" of police came to the aid
of the strikebreakers.
A striking driver, Ray HUT, told
how he had been attacked by two
strikebreakers on Miller St., New
ark. He was taken to City Hos
pital with a fractured jaw.
The Fruit and Produce Trade AS

against the strikers by Governor

The reactionary union misleaders
meanwhile did their part in aiding
the capitalist press campaign of
lies against the strikers, by issuing,
thru P. ]. Reilly, business agent of
Local 30S, Transfers, Chauffeurs

that "no guns are to be carried by

The strike began last Wednesday
when leaders demanded an increase
of wages to the same rate as that

CAP WORKERS
IN BOSTONFI
zARITSky GANG
TUULLeads Rank and
File in Struggle

BOSTON, MASS, Nov. 24.-Re-
sistance on the part of the rank and
file capmakers in Boston, to the
thugs of the reactionary Zaritsky
machine, is growing. Disguised
with the DISQUALIFICATION policies
o. Zaritsky, the members of the
local union of the capmakers is re-
fusing to attend meetings called by
the misleaders.
A few weeks ago the reactionaries
levied five per cent tax on all
members for fake organizational
work. Meetings have been called by
the misleaders to enforce this tax.
In order to stifle organized resist
ence, the machine expelled J. Kor-
shun, a militant leader of the prog
ressive group, for six months. Defy
ing the reactionaries' threats and
proyocations, Korshun attended all
the meetings. In order to throw
Korshun out of a meeting on Nov,
20, the takers called the police.
The Trade Union Unity League
is leading the struggle against the
reactionary Zaritsky machine. With
the assistance sof Zaritsky, who
broke the once strong local 7, the
cap bosses have succeeded in fore
ing conditions down to rock bottom
thru wage cuts and speed-up.
The majority of the membership
was terrorized into carrying cards
in the fake local. and thus are ex-
pected to follow the lead of the
T.U.U.L. against the bosses and
their henchmen of the Zaritsky
machine.

U. T. w. Fails to Halt
Militant Action

PATERSON, N. j., Nov. "a. -
Paterson, which will be the scene
of the National Textile Workers
Union national convention on Nov
ember % to 30, is seething with
discomfort among the textile work
arS.
The latest case of rebellion
against speed-up and low wages is
the strike of the 800 workers of the
Mutual Hosiery Co., on Fulton St.,
Paterson. The 800 have struck
against a wage cut and against the
action of company in refusing
TO deal with the workers as union
members.
In this case the strikers happen
to be members of the United Tex
tile Workers Union, but despite the
reactionary officials of the Fedora
ton of Full Fashioned Hosiery
Workers, the branch Of the U. I. W.
to which the strikers belong, the
Mutual workers have insisted on
militant action in the strike, pick
citing the plant with the aid of the
members of the National Textile
Workers Union.
At the national convention of the
n. T. W., starting next Thursday,
delegations will be present from
every textile center in the country,
with delegates from over 90 south
ern mills. The mill workers Of Pat
erson, whose militancy is rising
daily, will send one of the largest
of all the delegations.

SCRANTON Mill.
STRIKERS SOLID
S ia nd Firm Under
NTW Leadership

SCRANTON, Pa, Nov. 24.-Un-
der the leadership of the National
Textile Workers Union and the
Trade Union Unity League, the
strikers of the West Park silk mill
here are remaining solid. The strike
began when II workers on the night
shift walked out after an active
union member was discharged.
The N.T.W. has been conducting
organization work in the West Park
Mill along with a group of other
mills in the Anthracite region. A
mill local was formed the week be-
fore the strike. The chairman of
the local was called before the straw
boss and told that he was laid Off
altho the mill was working full
blast. Previously two other active
N.T.W. members had been dis
charged, and this was seen as the
start of an attempt by the bosses to
yictimize all union members.
After hearing the N.T.W. organ
izers, Anna Burlak and Martin
Stone, the night shift decided to
strike. A leaflet was given out
among tie 200 day shift workers,
calling on them to join the strike.
Police were called by the bosses
after the strike started. The police
have been unable to halt picketing
both at night and day. The N.T.W
demands for the West Park Mill
workers include $50 a week for the
day shift worker; $25 for the night
shift; 40-hour-week for all workers
reinstatement of the worker dis
charged for union activities; no dis
elimination against union members
recognition of the local of the Mt
W; against the speed-up-seven
frames instead of 10; two 15-minutc
rest periods, etc.

SEWARD SOCIETY
 AND SIDE LIGHTS
HIGH LINKS IN THE CITY
 FRIDAY EVENING
(By Mrs. J. c. Green)

Ye scribe was attracted from the rear of her house, where she
 was pursuing house -wifely duties,
 by the sound of many voices
 shouting, laughing, wailing and
 weeping, and by the flare of scarlet-hued lights coloring the
 heavens! Grabbing F. H. (Friend Husband by the hand, she dash ed down to the roadside to see wherefore and why the commo- tiOn, and she found! An, good friends, there was the entire freshie class of the High school, being led to their doom! Or rather, not to their doom exactly, put to something almost as bad
 The lads, who had esSayed to enter the portals of higher learn Ing were, for the most part. ar rayed in the habiliments gener- ally worn by the feminine sex. while many lovely lassie gaz- ca out into the darkness from under the brim of a boyish hat and whose dainty dress was over allS, or boys brooches. They were being herded along the road by overbearing, serious Sophomores, judicious juniors and supercilious seniors, who very strongly impressed their rank upon the newcomers!
 First in the procession came the torch bearers, bearing scar let torches, lighting the wav for those who came strangling af- ter, closely supervised by the hlgher-ups Next, there trundled
 into view, an old decripid Ford which, as far as the eve of the scribe could behold, was beino moved forward by the effecjent hands of the Freshies, who la- bored to push it along while cIoSe among the high-school alglnlty, who had risen above tba ieveI i1 or the fresh ones, were lag ny lounging in the car, and oc- caslonally exhorting the pers- Plrlng 11, ones to make it snappy, Then came groups of fresbias aloot but with the watchfuI eyes of the higher-ups seriously upon them. Here followed 2 caI-

vacade of wheelbarrows, in each of which reclined student of the higher classes, while two perspiring freshies pushed each. Then came other torch bearers, and more fOOt-Soldiers. The procession wound on down to the new school house, and with loud, moaning sounds the poor F'reshieS entered the building, as reluctantly as though they were entering the portal to Dantes Inferno" and the same words were graven upon the door lead- ing to their doom Abandon hope, all ye who enter here"
 With straining eyes, ye scribe watched the door swing shut on the last young hopeful, and close with an ominous clang. Be- yond those sacred portals-only the high school students, and MT. Roaney, the superintendent, were allowed to peer. Outsiders were barred!
 Once in while, one could catch a glimpse from the win dow of the toes of a freshie, who looked as though he might be standing on his head:-then one came racing into view, and was outlined against a window put nothing else could be seen.
 The initiation continued far into the night and it is to be hoped that when those lads who aspire to higher school, came out of the building, that they had nobler conception of what
