The demonstration yesterday was
led by "Slim" Welsh, carrying strike
placards. Eight or ten police were
already on the ground, and their
leader rushed up and served a
lengthy copy of the subpoena on
the picket. Welsh walked up and
down reading it, still wearing the
placards, and then tore it into rib
bons. The police pounced on him,

strators who had been clustering
around jeered the cops, and began
to march back and forth, singing

cleared a space in front of the cafe

swarmed back, in spite of every
thing the cops could do--and cops

1. L. D. In Fight.
A statement issued yesterday by
the District Office of the Interna-
tional Labor Defense reads as fol-
lows:
"The international Labor Defense
is behind these workers in their
struggle against the courts in their
right to picket and protect their
class interests against the employ
ers of labor. The courts in issuing
these injunctions are attempting to
cripple the unions in their daily
battle for the right to live and their
fight for shorter hours and higher
wages. The I. L. D. will give their
support to the workers in this mill
tant fight and battle with these
unions against any sort of suppress
sion hindering them in their organ.
