MASS VIOLATION
OF INJUNCTIONS
Picket Zelgreen Again
Fl Arrested

NEW YORK. - Hundreds of
workers packed the sidewalk in
front of the Zelgreen Cafeteria, PIT
West 34th St., yesterday in open
mass violation of the injunction
against picketing.
They were attacked by police on
foot, horseback, in the riot wagon
and on motorcycles. Twenty-one
were arrested, one being badly
beaten up by whole squad of cops
before he was thrown into the riot
wagon. He was a worker, Ma
poleon, recently beaten up by po-
lice on a picket line. One woman
picket was cuffed and struck, and
arrested.
Struggle Goes On.
The fight will go on! This is but
the first round of a determined
struggle of the militant workers of
New York to smash the injunction
evil by mass violation. There is
no other way. The A. F. L. and
the bosses cooperate to get injunc-
lions against the strikers in every
!. strike, and those who try to picket
are jailed under Paragraph 600 of
the Penal Code, providing sentences
for violation of an injunction.
Mass violation of the injunctions,
or loss of the right to strike
slavery-peonage and fascist rule
through court orders by the bosses
and the A. F. L. misleaders, with
continually worsening conditions
that is the question before the
workers of New York!
There will be mass picket dem
onstrations-mass violation of the
injunction--every day at noon at
Zelgreen's cafeteria! All out to
help the Food Workers picket! All
out today!
Foster Speaks.
The Communist Party election
rally Thursday, Oct. 80, in Cooper
Union, at which William 2. Foster,
candidate for governor on the Com
munist ticket, will be speaker, will
be also mainly an anti-injunction
mobilization. Foster will leave his
upstate tour, and rush back to New
York in order to take part in this
most important struggle. A Com
munist vote is protest against in
functions.
