before the New Bedford strike
Porter said today in an interview,
because the officers told us to
shoot when commanded even if it's
your mother or sister," Porter said
other soldiers used to talk over
"what would you do if the officer
told you to fire on strikers?" Only
one, of all he knew, Porter said, de-
clared he would shoot.
Out of Work-Enlisted
Porter, now 20 years old, was
sixteen when he enlisted. 81 was
out of work and the recruiting SER
geant spelled something off about
getting S12O a month in a little
while" The young worker was set
to ''firing" in Fort Mckinley.
He was working in New Bedford
when the famous strike broke out
in 1923. Three times the cops
warned him to get off the picket
line or they would report" him to
the federal authorities. The young
ster refused to quit the strike and
was court-martialled. His term was
two and half years, later reduced
to 20 months upon mass demon
strations on his behalf in New Bed
ford.
He was taken to Fort Leaven-
worth, Kansas, then to Alcatrez,
Calf, and just before his release to
Governors Island. In Leavenworth,
last November 5, he was beaten
with a club by guard because he
dropped some thing which was
government property" Grueling
labor here gave the youngster a
touch of consumption. "Food was

A tack Workers at
Meeting Which Flops

Cooperating with the police, who
the day before broke up an unem-
.ployment demonstration of working
women and children at the City
Hall, beating up many of the wo-
men and children, the Lovestone
counter-revolutionists scheduled
meeting to exploit the memory of
C. L. Ruthenberg, who was a staunch
supporter of the Communist Inter
national.
There were scant 125 present,
and the meeting had just opened, the
chairman initiating the meeting with
an attack on the Communist Party
and the Communist International.
One woman workers present pro-
tested and she was Immediately at
tackled by the Lovestone thugs who
were armed with blackjacks, rubber
hoses and chair legs-somewhat in
the fashion of the dozen Tammany
cossacks who were at the door of
the hail.
Several workers rushed to the de-
tense of the beaten girl worker, and
the Lovestone gangsters drew their
weapons and started to attack sew
eral other workers present. The
police rushed to the id of the har-
raised Lovestonites. One of the
Lovestonites obligingly pointed out
to Whalen's finest just whom to sock.
The meeting was completely demon
allied because of Lovestonites and
their Tammany defenders.
A police patrol came to the res
cue of the Lovestonites, but the
meeting was past rescue. The Love-
stonites, however, assisted the pe-
lice in arresting four workers,
among whom was Comrade Fleiss.

was due to fear, induced in no small
degree by unemployment-"by the
sudden realization of people capable
of working for their living that they
have no means of support; that there
IS no place for them in this Wanted
