FOOD CLERKS TO

Quit Work and Come to
Funeral of Katovis

"All food clerks stop work and
assemble at 11:30 today at union
headquarters, 16. West 21st ST., to
attend the funeral of Steve Katovis,
murdered in the strike at Millers
Market" says statement issued
by the strike committee of the Food
Clerks Union of the Amalgamated
Food Workers.
A resolution adopted by the union
states in part:
"The struggle to better the con-
ditions of the food clerks in New
York is being met with the vicious
opposition of the bosses and police
and their agents, the socialist party
and the American Federation of
Labor.
1.-THE workers of New York called
by the Trade Union Unity League
to protest against this terror and
against the use of injunctions
against the workers, were met by
still more terror The police cos
sacks in their desperation began
shooting at the assembled workers
and the result was that they killed

Comrade Katovis with hundreds OF

"A Fragment OF An Emblre'
Fine Soviet FiIm at Cameo

In another fine product of Soviet
motion picture art, the Rip Van
Wrinkle theme has been revived in a
new and realistic form, in the only
country where it would have any
meaning at present. Capitalism
changes only in detail-it is always
exploitation. But something hap
pened in Russia in 1917 that
changed the whole face of society
there, and of which the end is not
yet.
"a Fragment of an Empire" now
at the Cameo, directed by Frederick
Ermler, scenario by X. Vinogradsky,
photography by Eney, shows a SER

into amnesia by shells fired at him

has the part of the sergeant, Fill

when Filiminov accidentally sees in
a passing train window his wife,

INSTALL Needle
SHOP DELEGATES
All Invited Thursday;
All At Funeral Today


There will be an installation of
the newly elected Shop Delegate
Council of the Needle Trades Work
ers' Industrial Union Thursday, Jan.
80, at 7.30 p. m, in Manhattan Ly-
ceum, &C East Fourth St. This
event will mark the reorganization
of the Industrial Union on the basis
of the shop delegate system, which
will place complete and more direct
control of the union and all union
affairs in the hands of the rank and
file workers in the shops through
their Shop Delegate Council. SYM
pathetic labor organizations are in
vited to send representatives to be
present.
The unemployed dressmakers,
cloakmakers, furriers and millinery
workers will meet in the office of
the union, 131 West 2Sth ST., on
Wednesday and Thursday, Jan. 20
and 80, during the day to elect del
egates to represent the unemployed
workers on the Shop Delegate
Council.
The Industrial Union calls on all
it's members to participate in the
funeral to Comrade Steve Katoves.
Five More Strikes
Five more dress strikes were de-
clared by the Industrial Union yes
sterday. One of these shops is Rubin
& Littman, employing a large num-
Der of workers who are paid as lit
tie as S14 and SIS per week. The
Negro women workers in this shop
were particularly exploited. Work
ers of the shop responded to the
strike call enthusiastically.
The workers of the fur shop, Nor
gan & Miller of $50 West 28th ST.,
went on strike yesterday at the call
of the Industrial Union. When they
asked the boss for an increase he
started negotiations with the right
wing union.
The organization drive is being
extended on a wider scale. Workers
of open shops are called upon to
bring their complaints to the office
of the Industrial Union, to organize
shop committees, not to wait for
committees of the union to come up
to their shops, but to come down as
organized groups to strike for union
conditions. Active workers are called
upon to report to the office of the
union in the mornings at 7.30 a. m.
to help picket the striking shops
and force the employers to sign up
with the Industrial Union, granting
union conditions to the workers.
In an effort to interfere with the
organization campaign of the In
dustrial Union the company union
has made an effort to-day to bring
to trial the Organizer Of the Indus
trial Union, Irving Potash, through
frame-up. The case came up at
General Sessions, Part 9, before

will struggle to the utmost in sup
port of workers resisting the muir
der regime of the employing class
that gives every possible endorse
ment and aid to its assassins that
it mobilizes against the working
class"
The l. L. d. statement connects
the murder of Katovis with that of
Ella May, with the hundreds of ar
rests, and says, "These are part of
the general scheme of the Wall
Street government to crush, as it
hopes, the growing spirit of work
ing class resistance to its war prep
arations and smash the daily
mounting discomfort as new masses
of workers are thrown into the ma
tons growing jobless army"
The Independent Shoe Workers
Union, the Food Clerks Union, the
Building Maintenance Workers
Union, theNeedle Trades Workers
Industrial Union, the Labor Sports
Union, the Young Pioneers, the
Young Communist League, and
many other militant unions and
workers organizations have called
on their members to stop work to-
day and be at the funeral Of Steve
Katovis.

NILL.!NERS RALLY
FOR union TODAY
Beginning Of Struggle;
Unorganized Invited

A mass meeting of all millinery
workers, organized and unorganized
trimmers, blockers and operators, is
called by Local 43 of the Needle
Trades Workers Industrial Union, to
meet in Bryant Hall, 725 Sixth Ave,
today, right after work. Among the
speakers will be Rose Wortis and
Ben Gold, of the N.T.WI.U.
Leaflets issued by Local 43 state:
"This meeting must be the begin
ming of a, campaign for the organ
ization of the unorganized through
united struggle of all the workers
This mass meeting must express the
will and determination of the mil
linery workers to fight for their
union conditions.
"The Industrial Union has now
been reorganized on the basis of the
shop delegate system to establish
rank and file control of the union.
All workers of union and non-union
shops are called upon to elect dele
gates to the Shop Delegates Council.
Behind the innocent talk of the
Zaritsky machine about peace and
welfare of the industry is hidden the
shameful conspiracy to betray and
sell out the millinery workers just
as the Schlesinger gang has sold
and betrayed the other needle
! trades workers."

The police raids on strike head
quarters of the Independent Shoe

meeting last week between Commits
sioner Woods, of the United States
Department of Labor, the officials
of the Metropolitan Association of
shoe manufacturers, representatives
of the police department, and the
scab agents, J. Cronins and Mike
Moore. The bosses complained that
their lockout in % shops on Woods
orders was failing. Woods then told
them that the police should smash
all the strike headquarters.
Police continued their efforts to
close the headquarters yesterday. A
police sergeant and squad drove all
strikers of the Diana Shoe Co. from
their headquarters at 70 White Oak

Our Answer

Yes, Steve Katovis,
They who shot you in the back,
They who kept a policeman at YOU
bed
Until you died;
They shall be answered.
For every breath of life
They robbed you of,
For every shuddering pain
They wreaked on you,
A thousand workers, militants,
Shall rise and join us
In the struggle;
A legion of workers
Brave as you,
Willing as you to pay
With life itself
To free the toiling mass,
Our class,
From slavery.
Yes, Steve Katovis,
We have heard your message,
This TERROR shall not find US
Cowed and meek
They shall be answered!

Washington, July 19 UP)-The constantly increasing utilization of the motorbH and motor truck in carrying passengers and freight and their far-reaching effect upon rail load transportation generally is en- gazing the attention Of two federal agencies. the interstate commerce commission and the bureau of asri- cultural economics.
 The agricultural economies hu- reau, concerned chiefly with the agrarian aspect Of the situation. is conducting a study of the motor truck in it's relations to the farm marketing system.

 The inquiry is one of the most comprehensive the commission has ever undertaken. It takes in the whole field Of motor transportation, including vehicles operated by rail roads in conjunction with their car riers and those owned independently and operated in competition to the railroads.
 i It is significant that the investi- | gation is being made at time when congress has under consideration the Parker bill 10 place interstate but lines under the regulatory superVl- sion of the commission. Whether en- actment of the Parker bill may be delayed until the commission has completed it's inquiry is matter for speculation. but the order directing that the investigation be made spe,i- 1 fes that the findings be reported to
