The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1931-08-15

following the U.T.W. Associated are
absolutely useless.
The SIX workers arrested during
yesterdays assault by the police were
compelled to spend the hot night in
the filthy police station, but we're
bailed out by the International La
Dor Defense at noon. The total bail
for the six was $4,000. The charge
was assault and battery, disorderly
conduct and attempted assault on
the police. Even the judge had to
smile when sixteen year old Lille
Salzberg had such charges preferred
against her. The case will come up
Friday, August 81.
The picketers of the UTW.-
Associated arrested yesterday were
merely charged with lettering. The
attitude of the police toward the
two unions is clearly brought out by
this contrast. OF the 81 picketers
arrested at the Streng Dye Shop the
early part of the week, 80 were
brought up in Criminal Court this
afternoon. AS they appeared at the
mass meeting this morning under the
leadership of a committee of three
of their own fellow defendants, the
mass meeting cheered and yelled in
a demonstration of solidarity. Four
of them were convicted and given
$40 fine each or ten days in .ail. The
International Labor Defense is TAX
ing steps to appeal the case, but in
the meantime four of the best strik-
ers are in jail. The rest will be tried
within week and are out on bail
News from the shop meeting show
further organization progress of the
NTWU. The M g. K. shop which
came out originally in response to
our picket line voted at the begin
ming of the strike. by vote of 5 to
25, to join the UTW, being still I'M
der the Illusion that the Associated
was maintaining its militant tradi-
ton. Today they held shop meet
ing ard every worker to man joined
up with the NTWU. They freely ad-
mitted that they were fooled at first
but that it YVES the fake settlement
of the TW-Asscciated that opened
their eyes, The boss had told them
to come back in two weeks for re-
ply to the demands of the UTW and
the workers are determined to stay
out rather than go back under the
fake settlement which the UTW-As-
ISOLATED tried to put over on them.
At the GGG. which went back on
Monday without taking the night
shift back, the picket line of the MT
WI was keeping the workers out
The boss told the workers brazenly
if you don't go back to work, I will
get my union, n hing the UTW-As-
ISOLATED 10 send in as many workers
as are needed. Three Of the workers,
two of them UTW members, refused
to go pack on the fake settlement
and the NTW- Associated supplied
him with three other weavers. The
picket line will continue.
The decision was reached in the
settlement committee of the UTW-
Associated that in the shop where the
minority of the workers are mem
oers of the NTWU they will have to
change their union affiliations be-
fore given permission to work in
ottled shop. This laid the basis for
f'2crimination on the part of the
losses against any member of the
TTWU.
The much heralded victory parade
Of the NTW-Associated was COM
posed of 400 individuals by actual
count and recount, headed by Gitlow,
Ben Lipshitz, Sascha Zimmerman
and Fam. A great majority of the
marcherS were bosses, with each car
rying an American flag in his hand,
