B'KLYN EVICTION
Militant Crowd Rallies
3 Times in Face of Cops

NEW YORK.-Another militant
demonstration of jobless workers and
tenants was held at the eviction of
an unemployed shoe worker named
Kaplan at $50 Saratoga Ave, Browns
vile, yesterday. A demonstration the
day before scared the landlord into
leaving the furniture in until yester-
day morning. The furniture was put
out in the forenoon. and the masses
gathered were willing yesterday to
put it back, but Kaplan decided to
move.
Before the demonstration began
yesterday, a reporter for the Daily
Worker, walking among the groups
of workers and tenants arriving, was
approached by a cop who looked at
his credentials, and then announced:
IF we start to work out on you fell
lows, you'll be the first one!"
500 Gather.
With about 500 present, the first
meeting got under way at the corner
of Saratoga and Pitkin. The police
drove the crowd across the street,
where another meeting began.
Mounted police tried to overthrow
the platform while woman worker
was speaking. The crowd prevented
them. The meeting was again driven
on, started again, and again the
crowd prevented the cossacks from
overthrowing the platform. They
were driven then to Hozel and Pitkin
two blocks away, and conducted an
other meeting there, some 400 OF the
crowd having followed to take part.
The chairman of the meeting, Lena
Weinstone, was one who joined thu
tenants league only the day before

PLEDGE
FORCED IN GENEVA
Litvinoff Compels It;
It Will Be Broken

Capitalist news sources show that
the League of Nations preliminary
arms conference, attended by a U.
S, delegate, was forced yesterday to
swallow its spleen against the Soviet
Union, and accept an important
amendment to its statement of pur-
pose which Litvinoff, head of the
delegation from the Union of Social
list Soviet Republics, damned down.
The amendment states that it is
the aim of the conference to reduce
ornaments. The imperiaHst powers
had stated it as one of merely linn
iting ornaments.
The special correspondence to the
New York Times yesterday states;
Most of the time of the two
sessions Monday was devoted to
trying to avoid voting on a Soviet
amendment in the clear-cut fash
ion which Litvinoff wanted"
Hard to Explain!
The workers delegates insisted,
and the inperialist delegates did not
dare to refuse. 1t would be too hard
to explain to the masses at home
The conference refused to vote on
the amendment alone Monday, but
after thinking it over, had to sur
render today.
1t is obvious from comment in the
Soviet Union press that neither the
Litvinoff delegation nor the workers
who sent it to Geneva really expect
the imperialist powers to reduce arm
aments. All the militarist nations
are driving ahead to war against
the Soviet Union, and to other wars
with each other. But they we're put
in a most embarrassing position by
the U. S. S. R. delegation, and will
be further exposed now, when they
break their solemn promise to re
duce ornaments"
Litvinoff punctured the c-ench
delegations fine words about inter-
national junstice.
Though there has been 10 years
of peace, said Litvinoff, part Of
the Soviet fleet is still held in cap
tivity by one of the Great Powers.
BY what right? They have no
right except the right of force" !,

More Determined.
The released pickets Immediately
issued the following statement:
I'VE the prisoners arrested Nov. 10

I'm the demonstration we felt the

stein, as well as those of the bosses
and police. Epstein was even more
vicious than the cops themselves.
Swinging a policeman's club he beat
over the head the worker, but only
men but women as well.
The injunction gives the A.FL,
the bosses and, the police the chance
to break up Eur organization, to pro-
hibit us from striking and picketirN
and from getting real union condi-
tons for the workers.
AS members of the revolutionary
unions, we pledge ourselves not to be
intimidated or terrorized by the bru-
tally of the police. bosses or ALL.

more and more masses of workers
I'VE call upon all workers to join
us on the picket line and to fight f'~
the right to strike This can only
be done by a determined, militant
struggle, and by mass violation to de-
stroy the injunction and Paragraph
600 which is used to imprison and
terrorize the workers.
Under the leadership of the
Smash the Injunctions Committee of
the TTrade Union Unity Council we
will make the next demonstration a
bigger and more militant one.
Forward to more demonstrations
against the injunction!
More militancy and solidarity will
win the fight!"
Beat Up In Jail.
When being taken to the court the
workers arrested we're forced to in
dividually run gauntlet of police
clubbers, with the lights turned out
so that they could not tell which
way to run. Tony Thomas and Sam
Santos were particularly badly
beaten up in jail Pickets who had
not been hurt at all in the picketing
appeared with cracked heads as a re-
suit Of the Jail beatings.

NEW YORK.-Open mass violation
of the injunction against picketing at
Zelgreen Cafeteria Monday at $50
p. m. is the next round of the contin-
uous battle to win the right to strike
In New York! The Smash the In
junction Committee of the Trade
Union Unity Council, calling the
demonstration, points out that this
is the critical demonstration. There
have been several at zelgreen cafe
terra, eliminating in a most militant
and vigorous one last Thursday The
mass pressure and fury Of the work
ers and iobless against the court

cts arrested Thursday have been let

and a suspended sentence.
All who were not already out on

out pending trial yesterday are serv-
ing the five days.
Keep Fighting.
The Smash the Injunction Com
mittee warns that five day sentences
under Paragraph 600 C"violation of
an injunctionO instead of the usual
60 day terms is not to be considered
as a victory over the injunction. 1t
is just a tactical move by the court,
which hopes that now everything will
be forgotten, that the workers will go
to sleep, leaving the injunction men
ace ready to be revived in every food

like an avalanche at the strikers in
the approaching dress struggle, and
to drive all pickets away from struck

The railroads are rationalizing

NO SECRET NOW

Aspirin was originally a guarded
mysterious secret, and was used
only by a few physicians. Today
aspirin is the most popular and
most widely used of all medicines.
The medical profession and public
alike have learned that pure aspirin
such as St.Joseph's Pure Aspirin is
safe and effective for many all
mentS.
No secret attaches to aspirin. II
is included under its scientific name
in the United States PharmacopoeIa
and St.Joseph's Pure Aspirin con-
forms in every particular to govern
ment standards.
Thousands of people have learned
there is no reason to pay more
than ten cents for one dozen pure
aspirin tablets and St.Joseph's Pure
Aspirin is sold everywhere in con-
venient tins for ten cents for one
dozen pure tablets of pure aspirin.
1t is generally known in medical
circles that the manufacturers of
~St.Joseph's Pure Aspirin guarantee
that it is as pure as money can buy.

There's no use of your feeling sc
badly about all that" I told him.
"See, I knew you wouldn't under
stand" he chided me. This girl and
I are the best of riends and I don't
want anything"
There was a great disturbance out
side and amid it I could hear the
high pitched voice of a woman.
"Take your hands off of mel" she
yelled at some one, I'm going in and
see for myself that he isn't hurt"
A sudden start by Johnnie caused
me to look at him. His eyes were
fastened on the door. His hand
brushed lightly over the cut jaw.
Then a smile came across his lips and
a twinkle in his eyes as he took his
hat and started for the door. WIN
his hand on the knob he bowed and
in departing said:
"You and I have been the best OF
friends. I thank you for all that you
have done for me. I will see you lat
err and try to make you understand"
Then glancing around the oom at
the rest he grinned and said, wen,
good night, boys, see you later" AND
he was through the door and amid
the cheers of those admirers who will
gather after a fight is over.
I had just gone to my rooms and
was getting settled behind one OF
those celebration cigars, the kind we
love so we'll but only smoke after
something has happened to exceed
ingly please us. Then the phone
rang. 1 let it ring a second time,
when a knock came at the door. l
opened the door first. I felt more
like talking to some n near than
at a distance.
"How do you do? When I heard
the phone ringing I had a fear that
you had not returned yet" 1t was
Ben, the person whom I had induced
to promote the bout. He went on in
his own progressive manner. I was
here before but you we're not in. The
clerk told me you had returned so 1

1T is usually managers who go to

him a seat but he was already in the
easy chair in which I had intended
to enjoy my cigar.
"That tip you gave me about your
boy was all right; but what leaked out
about Dorsey putting Mckay away
was better. Was that your work."
Ben asked with a devilish twinkle
in his eyes.
mo. I did not know a thing until
tonight" I informed him.
Maybe. But let me tell you this
before it busts me open. That in
formation got to the gamblers and
made Dorsey a big favorite. Nat
urally, of course. Your boy had been
champion of the South, but that did
not mean much to them. Anyway, L
took your word for what it was worth
and placed a little on the short end"
He reached in his pocket and pro-
duced a pack of bills. "Here," he
went on, "is a little present for you
and the boy. Only fifteen hundred,
but it's half of my winnings on your
tip"
I vas abashed. Ben had paid us
our money when Johnnie entered the
ring; but here he was giving us an
unexpected bonus, as it were, from
his profits.
I'm going to give this to the kid"
I said with enthusiasm.
"Oh, I didn't mean to insult you
with such a paltry sum-" Ben apollo
gized, II only meant to give you half
of what I made on the tip"
