CLASH ON PICKET
LINE AT M|LLERS
Union Wins Conditions
in Three More Shops

The Food Clerks Industrial Union
keeps right on picketing Millers'
Market, to the despair of the police
force, which comes out in armies,
of Mr.. Miller and his family, and

he uses and the strike-breaking
United Hebrew Trades. Monday and
yesterday there were the usual at
tacks by the police on the picket line.
Two strikers were arrested Monday,
with one suspended sentence and one
case postponed in court. Yesterday,
trials of pickets arrested at Millers'
resulted in two dismissals, SIS fine
for two, and other cases postponed.
More Victories.
The union has won and established
union conditions at the fruit market
at Oil Intervale Ave-, in the grocery
store at Zig Morris Ave, Bronx.
and in Katz Bros, fruit market.

Demand for Free Speech in
1907 Is Foster Crime Record
Tammany Judge Holds It Keeps Him from Get
ting Bail on Charge of Leading Jobless in 1880

Capitalist class-justice exposed it
self with a vengeance today when
William z. Foster, arrested as one
of the leaders of the mass-unem-
ployed demonstration last Thursday,
was refused bail on the ground that
he had received a Today sentence
in 1907 for demanding the right to
free speech.
In the eyes of capitalist courts it
is crime for workers to fight for
freedom Of speech in the public
streets. Back in 1909 the Industrial
Workers of the World, of which Fos-
ter was a member at the time, began
fight for this most elementary
democratic right which the capital
lists have systematically attempted
to deny to the working class. In
Spokane, Washington, for example,
the city council had passed an ordi-
nance forbidding all street speaking
within the fire limits, the only dis
trict where workers gathered in
larger numbers. Later this law was
amended to permit sky pilots like the
Salvation Army to hold meetings.
One of the Wobblies by the name
of James Thompson was arrested
and tried on November 2 for speak

GERMAN GOVERNMENT CRISIS.
(Wreless BIZ Iuprecorr)


BERLIN, March 1.-THE "Peo-
Piles" Party" the party of German
heavy industry, has rejected the fin
ance program of the Mueller ESQ
cialist") government, althou III the
latter grants the demands of the
capitalists. The result will probably
lie the withdrawal of the Peoples
Party ministers from the coalition
cabinet, and the continuation Of the
government on the basis of the
"Weimar coalition" that is the
Catholics, the Democrats and the
socialists" The Peoples Party
reckons on enjoying the advantages
of the acceptance by Germany of the
Young Plan and the finance ''re-
FORM" while avoiding the odium of
voting for such. The Weimar parties
are working out uniform finance
program for the continuation Of the
government.

Bail of $4,000 each was set
against Robert Minor, Israel
Amter, Joseph Lester, and
Harry Raymond. At the time
the Daily Worker goes to press
all are still in Jail.
Another writ of habeas corpus
was taken out in the Supreme Court
to reduceAhe bail on Minor, Amter,
Lester and Raymond, and to demand
that Foster be let out on bail. Hear
ing on the writ of habeas corpus
was set for two o'clock today in the
Supreme Court, Special Term, Part
III, at Lafayette and Worth Streets.
The obscure Magistrate Flood,
who undoubtedly had never in his
life troubled his mind with the revo-
lutionary movement or its leaders,
had been "wised up" on details by
Whalen's stool-pigeons so that he
could use them against the commit
tee Of 10000 New York workers
who demonstrated on March 6 for
Work or Wages. -
Albert Bogg Unger, assistant dis
trict attorney, demanded that all of
the leaders of the Communist Party
and Trade Union Unity League be
held without bail.
"These men are political prison
ers," Joseph Brodsky reminded the
fishy-eyed judge.
"What the district attorney wants
is class justice against these leaders
of the mass unemployed demonstra-
ton. These men have spent most
of their lives fighting for the rights
of the workers, and were arrested
when acting in the name of the hun
dreds of thousands of unemployed
who demonstrated on March g."
This made the judge squirm bit.
and he tried to interrupt Brodsky,
but the attorney for the arrested
leaders went on:
"These men are not running away

in Magistrate Flood, "on the ques-

made up his mind on more than one
question. wasn't Foster arrested
in 1907 in Washington in connection
with Free Speech Case?" said the
judge as if he had just picked that
information out of the thin air. "Dc
you know whether or not that is a
felony?"
Nobody seemed to know, but the
judge took it for granted that it
was. Anyway it was as good an
excuse as any to hold Foster with
out bail And so the magistrate
said: ~
Hold the defendant Foster with
out bail. Each of the others, bail
in the sum of $4,000. Tomorrow
we proceed with the other charge
against them"
All of the arrested working class
leaders will be tried before Magis-
trate Flood Wednesday, at 10 o'clock

vile housewives have already COM
mitted themselves to the attendance
Of all five of the lectures and are
making plans to insure their not
missing a single n OF the rare
demonstrations conducted by this
great leader and lecturer. The
fact that admission is absolutely
free and without obligation. and
that the lectures will start AZ 2:30
promptly. inspires the Herald to
warn all women planning to at

Ihrig's remarkable background Of
the nutritive values OF properly
cooked foods. coupled with their
personal contact with this gifted
lecturer in which they have become
enthusiastic over her remarkable
stage presence have inspired their
eager participation in Mrs. Ihrig's
courses Of home economies.
Every product used and recon-
mended by Mrs. Ihrig has not only
undergone laboratory tests az the
hands Of national manufacturers,
but has been tried out on a per-
sonal basis by this famous cookery
expert in her own demonstration
kitchens where the recipes appro-
pirate to the product have been
tested in order that she might sell
ect foods OF the very finest and
most reliable types for sponsoring
in the cooking schools she conducts.
The housewives attending Mrs.
Ihrig's courses may rest assured
that the specific recommendation
of products introduced by Mrs. III
rig is as well founded as the re-
cipes she offers. Careful atten-
ton to such data Is requested by
the lecturer since many items that
