SOCIALIST ATTY
WORKS FOR COPS
Asks Jail For Workers:
Pickets Defy Police

Millers' market was picketed again
today by the Food Clerks Industrial
Union, although it was a regular
armed camp Of police who were
strung out all around the block. The
pickets were assaulted and two ar
rested. When they came to court
the judge couldn't find grounds on
which to hold them, and they were
released, much to the disgust of
Mrs. Miller, the boss wife, who
snarled insults at the union attorney
and members in court.
Marcus Misses.
The socialist party lawyer, Mar
Gus, attorney for the United Hebrew
Trades, which provides the seals at
Millers, appeared yesterday in court
for the police department, asking
jail for Organizer Feitelbaum of the
F.C.LU. and another worker, ar
rested some blocks from Miller's
market. This was a case pressed
by the police. not by the scab union
or even the employer. Marcus, the
socialist, put his best argument for
the murderers of Katovis, but he
couldn't make Ease, and the two
defendants were freed.
The union organization drive goes
on with two new victories yester-
day. The fruit market at 100 Feath-
bed Lane, Bronx, was settled by the
union, and the dairy store at 1850
Second Ave, Manhattan. Union
were obtained in both.

Will Hold Ruthenberg
Memorial Meet March
5, Central Opera House

On Wednesday, March 9Th, thou
sands of workers will pay honor to
Comrade Ruthenberg, the organizer
and leader of the Communist Party
of the U. S. A. The memorial meet
ing will be held at the Central
Opera House, 9th st. and Third
Ave, and leading comrades of the
Party will be the speakers.
The role of Comrade Ruthenberg
in the last world war and the fight
that he made for the organization
of the Communist Party out of the
socialist party is known to the
workers throughout the country. At
the present time with the struggle
of the workers against unemploy-
ment, wage cuts, speed-up and the
general offensive of the bosses, and
with the acute danger of war
against the Soviet Union being
launched by the united imperialist
powers, makes the memory of Com
rade Ruthenberg ever dearer to the
American masses.
The renegade Lovestoneites who
have been expelled from the Com
munist International of which Com
rade Ruthenberg was an honored
member, and a member of the
Executive Committee of the Com
munist International, have dared to
announce meeting, thus desecrat-
ing his memory. They who have
deserted the revolutionary labor
movement and are now the faithful
allies Of Hoover Imperialism.

l have been a workman there I'M
til year and half ago when
had foot crushed off between the
floor of an elevator and the top of

faulty adjustment of the elevator
mechanism.
When l was still in the hospital
and in great pain representative
of the Fisher Co. came to make a
settlement with me for the loss of
my foot.
Cheated by Bosses.
! was told that I would have to
accept $4,000 or nothing or else sue
them for damages. Attorneys whom
l consulted demanded half of what
ever judgment might have been
awarded to me, if I took the matter
to court.
l was compelled to accept what
was offered me. On my recovery I
went to the welfare dept. of Fisher
Co. and asked them to give me some
sort Of work. l was told that since
I am now cripple they had no work
for me.
| They said / should 60 back to
General Motors where had been
working previously. General Motors
rehired me after great deal of
coaxing only to be laid off again
last August because of slowing down
of auto production and 1 have not
been able to find any work since.
Since I became crippled and know
the actual treatment crippled work
ers receive at the hands of the bos-
SEES at starvation wages I realize
that some definite action must be
taken. by the workers.

ing for work, And everywhere you
look you can see workers looking

a sign, help wanted.
Well, / found work at Horn &

rants. But it didn't last long, as
they laid me off.
Slavery at H. and H.
The conditions are as follows in
Horn & Hardart. Working ten to
twelve hours day at a rate of %
cents an hour. They're very strict.
They always keep you busy, every
minute of the day.
What's Left Out of Slave Wage?
Even for the uniforms that you
must wear they charge. Fifty cents
for badge uniform; for badge 25
cents, for caps 81, for fine in losing
badge SO cents fine, for not wear
ing badge every day. Now you
can see and figure up what's left
from poor working girls wages.
To better our conditions we must or
ganize in the Food Workers Indus
trial Union against such conditions.
AS l was saying, about H. and
H. conditions. They had sign put
up, they are giving dance at a
certain date, and it says, for whites
only.
Well, what about the colored work

Then the sailor told him that he
had signed on yesterday and he had
the right to draw anything he
