speakers on their determination to
carry on the struggle to victorious
end.
While General Manager Bieden-
kapp was speaking, the pickets left,
proceedings being suspended for
minute, to go out to the daily
struggle.
Critical Period.
The coming weeks are critical.
The ALL. Boot and Shoe Workers
Union says it will enter the field
after the contracts expire, March !,
but as the bosses have already
broken those contracts, nobody
thinks the A. f. L. can do anything
in the future. 1t has already tried
and failed.
The bosses must get orders and
start work soon, or the Easter sea-
son will close. The union, its memr
bers determined to win, has splens
did chance for victory all along the
line.

A Visi to a Job
Sharks Office

morning. The shark is annoyed
at having to disgorge the fee, so
he continues to lecture and curse,
but eventually he has to cough up.
But they is more trouble in the
mems room, and our vamp-trainer
is called out of Eden. This time
the complaining voice is shrill
with the weak intensity of hunger,
outraged and thwarted. 81 want

that job, last Monday, and here
they laid me off already. Just
week of work, just $12 for my
family, and here l got to go job
the man, indignant over his wasted
hunting again. l paid for job,
and l want my money back"
The shark tries to quiet him, for
such outbursts are bad for bust
ness. But the man only shouts
louder, and seeing this, the shark
outshouts him, outargues him, out
curses him. With final grand
gesture he leads the man to the
wall, where copy Of the New
York state law on employment
agencies is conspicuously framed.
"You see? If a man is discharged
within a week, he is entitled to his
money back. After that the agent
is not responsible. Is it our fault
if you don't give satisfaction Now
get out, or I'll call the police on
you for making a public nuisance" "
His great lazy SLOUGH of an assis-
tant, who has not much intelli-
gence, but is perhaps retained for
just such occasions, eases the be-
trayed one out. What can he do?
Law is law, and it's ways are mys-
FERROUS. All he knows is, So is
gone forever. And where is he 60
ing to get a job next?
Noticing that the law also con-
tains a prohibition of the practice
of splitting fees with employers, l
ask him whether he ever does it.

Workers Sweep ILGW
Thugs From Streets
Continued from Page One)


where the Needle Trades Workers
Industrial Union has already won
union conditions, often after mill
tant strike, and trying to impose
the company union by force on
these workers.
The I.LG.W. thugs failed in every
case. Not only were they driven
pell nell out of the shop entrance
and out of the neighborhood but in
addition a lot of shops that were
running open shop or where the fake
"strike" (lockout) was in effect
taken down" in earnest by the
workers, led by the N.T.WI.U., and
in some cases victories are already
won, settlements signed.
The Industrial Union calls on all
workers to disregard the fake settle
ment that is being made now by the
bosses, the I.L.G.W. and the state,
and to carry on VIGOROUSLY the
strike, the real strike, for the 40
hour week and union conditions, led
by the rank and file strike commit
tee, under the direction of the
Needle Trades Workers Industrial
Union.
The fight in the streets was with
out serious casualties to the work
ers. A number of the gangsters
were injured, but although the po-
lice in every case took sides with
the gangsters, and dubbed the
workers, these militants fought so
determinedly and so well, that the
gangsters alone were badly hurt.
Gangsters fleeing from the first
clash, at $40 West 35th ST., where
the N.T.W.I.U. has won conditions
in a number of shops, were des-
perate in rage and fear, and dubbed
right and left among the passers by.
While doing this, one gangster, Irv-
ing Askenars, a member of the
Gera-Lepka gang, fractured the
skull of Jacob Rothenberg, man
ager of the big dress firm, Anna
Scheer-Rothenberg, and the boss
died in the hospital. Askenars was
arrested, and the capitalist press is
trying to say he was a "Commu-
nist"!
Arrest Only Workers.
The police broke into the fight
at $40 West 35th st. and arrested
not one single gangster, although
they were the ones to attack, but
instead took up Pearl Kleinmann,
Nathan Kites, David Zechtzer, !.
Koenigsberg, and Sam Kaplan. The
last two they charged with felon-
ious assault.
This fight was only one of sew
eral, in all of which the thugs were
defeated, and was typical of them
all.
The defense committee Of the N.
T. w. |. U. was reinforced yester-
day morning by several hundred
workers who came up to Industrial
Union headquarters, 131 West 28th
ST., and volunteered.
