ANTI-INJIJNCTION
COMMITTEE PLANS
STEINER BATTLE
Continue Picketing' at
Zelgreens

NEW YORK.-The "Smash the
Injunctions" Committee of the
Trade Union Unity Council, follow
ing meeting today, announces that
plans will go forward for continued
demonstrations at the Zelgreen
Cafeteria at 257 w. Gath St., where
militant workers have carried on
seven mass demonstration to smash
the injunction within the last month.
The fact that the business men of
Bath st. have announced their in
tention of appealing to the mayor
and to Magistrate Corrigan for "re-
lief" against the demonstrations will
not stop the fight'of the workers to
smash the 12-hour day and the in
junction along with it. The fight
will cease only when the workers
have succeeded in maintaining their
right to picket and Strike unmo-
Tested and when the vicious boss and
A. F. of L. weapon of the injunc-
ton will have been completely de-
stroyed. The Trade Union Unity
Council will mobilize it's full
strength to continue its militant ac-
tivity on the picket line at Eel
greens with bigger and more de-
termined mass demonstrations than
ever before.
This policy applies with equal
force to the Situation in the Bronx,
where the A. F. of L. Local 358 of
the Grocery, Dairy and Fruit
Clerks Union have produced an in
junction against members of the
Food Workers Industrial Union
who are on strike for shorter hours
and a minimum wage of $40 a week
at the food market at 3451 Jerome
Ave-, Bronx. The A. F. of L. rack
eeteers, who had previously taken
no steps to organize the workers,
appeared on the scene when the I'M
organized workers had gone out on
Strike and joined the Food Workers
Industrial Union, under whose lead
ership the strike is now being car
ried on. They have provided scabs
and an injunction for the boss. Po-
lice, in cohoots with the boss and
the A. F. of L., have already warned
that picketing will not be permitted.
But the militant spirit displayed by
the workers at the Zelgreen is evil
dent in the splendid response of the
workers at the demonstration today,
which was followed by the brutal
clubbing of strikers by the police.
One worker was arrested and held
for disorderly conduct. The Trade
Union Unity Council will give full
support to the workers on strike in
the Bronx.

EAGLE PENCIL co.
STPFFPS' PICKET
LINES MILITANT
8 Jailed and Released
for Haunting Scabs

NEW YORK.-Despite the grow
ing viciousness of the police and the
arrest of eight strikers yesterday
morning, the strike of 900 workers
at the Eagle Pencil Co. plant is GO
ing on full force, with the spirit of
the workers undaunted. Picketing
continued yesterday morning and
afternoon.
The few scabs that entered the
plant in closed cars were headed by
motorcycle cops, who headed the
procession with screaming sirens.
The workers are striking against a
10 per cent wage-cut, the fourth of
its kind in one year. They demand
that the wage-cut be revoked. Mass
picketing has been going on every
day since the strike started a week
ago Monday.
The eight pickets were arrested
for calling those who were brought
to the plant to work "scabs." The
judge dismissed those arrested, and
they are now ready to go back on
the picket line.
The captain of police in the Eagle
Pencil Co. plant district has daily
conferences with the bosses of the
plant and says that he is running
things around there.
Meetings are still held daily at
the Labor Temple. There will be
mass picketing in full force today,
as reports from the factory state
that less and less of the handful
are going to work.
