The case of Louis Bebritz has had
wide attention because of the original
recommendation of the Fish Com
mittee to deport this militant editor
who had testified before that ruling

taken one of the outstanding cases,

Court of the United States as a test
for the right of workers of foreign
birth to live in the U. S. and continue
their struggles against the bosses.

MYVIU ORGANIZES
YOUTH SECTIO1,
First NJ e tin G to Be
Held Friday

NEW YORK CITY.-At the last
meeting of the Metal Workers In
dustrial League, it was decided to
build youth section in the union,
the first meeting to be held Friday,
April II, at 16 West 2lst Street, be-
ginning at o'clock.
Young Workers are taking the
place Of older workers in the metal
trades, radio, etc. and are being
speded up more than every before.
Their wages are in some cases less
than half those paid older workers
for the same work AS they are for
the most part unorganized, the bos-
ses take advantage of this to give
them wage-cuts.
The Youth Sections plans to popul-
arize the youth demands, such as:
6-hour day, 5-day week, two weeks
vacation with pay, Is minute rest
periods, and plans to rally the young
workers to fight for better condi-
tionS.
Young workers in the metal indus
tries, bring your fellow workers in
the shop to this very important meet

PICKET JERRY
DRESS TODAY
Furriers D e n 0 u n C e
Kaufman Scabbery

NEW YORK.-Today, at 7:30 am,
there will be mass picketing at the
Jerry Dress Shop, 500 Seventh Ave.
All workers, and particularly needle
trades workers and unemployed
workers, should come out and help
picket, This action is to save the
right to picket and smash the in
junction against picketing. The pick
citing was first announced for yes
terday by mistake. 1t is today.
Needleman &. Bremmer, 263 w.
10th St, will also be picketed this
morning.
A mass meeting Of fur workers, in
Irving Plaza Hall yesterday, strongly
condemned the action of Kaufman
and other officials of the Interna-
tional Fur Workers Union in supply
ing scabs and uniting with the police
to break the strike in the Jersey
City strike. They were particularly
indignant at a lying article printed
in the yellow socialist Forward, which
says that the workers in that shop
had broken with the Communists.
to the International, and
gone back to work"
The fact is that the International
had not one member in the shop at
lifetime of the strike, which is against
a 20 per cent wage-cut, and that
none of those striking went back.
They are all out and Kaufman is
entirely new men as scabs.
Today at noon at goth st. and
Seventh Ave. there will be a mass
demonstration Of furriers, at which
the Jersey City strikers will appear
in person to answer this lie of the
Forward.
Morris LANCER, active fur rabbit
worker and a leader in the
Jersey City strike, was sentenced
to 30 days for attempt
ing to picket" The case is APP
pealed and the mass meeting today
will demand his release.

ellis of the unemployed. The Down

of Mrs. Bloomstein, 1874 Norfolk, a

sidewalk and Immediately began put
ting it back. Before all could get
out of the house, however, the po-
lice came down and caught one.
Milton Stone, of the october delega-
ton, got on an old stove and pointed
out that the worker was being ar
rested by the police who help the
landlords throw workers on the
streets, workers without jobs, that
the city leaves to stsrve. The crowd
became so menacing towards the
cop that he let his prisoner go.

ANTI-LYNCH MEET
CALLED, MAY 18th
Smash Legal Lynching
Of Ala. Nine

NEW YORK.-Itl order to mobilize
the working class against the raging
lynch terror Of the bosses which took
43 victims last year, and 10 already
this year, and is preparing the legal
lynching OF nine Negro youths in
Alabama, the City Committee of the
League of Struggle for Negro Rights
is calling a United Front Anti
Lynching Conference in this city.
The conference will be held Sun
day, May IT, at II a. M, at the Fin
nish Workers Hall, IS West 12eth st.
All organizations are urged to elect
two delegates to represent them at
this conference. The LSNR in issu-
ing the call points out that:
1.-THE white ruling class is doing
everything in its power to split the
ranks Of the workers; to incite hatred
and set white against Negro workers
and native against foreign born. In
this attempt they find faithful allies
in the leaders Of the Jim Crow Amer
lean Federation Of Labor, the treach-
erous socialists" and the Negro re-
formists. The new wave of lynch
terror is the answer of the bosses to
the growing joint struggle of Negro
and white workers against unemploy-
ment, starvation, wage cuts and per-
secution.
Join the struggle against lynch
ingl Demand new trial for the
Scottsboro ninel Smash the legal
lynching frarne-upl Support the
struggle for Negro Rights, for lncon-
ditional equality. for the right of
self-determination for the Negro ma
jorities in the Black Belt, in Africa
and the West Indies! Elect delegates
to the May II Conference!

Miners Try to Assist
800 Dressmakers
On Strike

COLLINSVILLE, ILL.,, April TO-
The strike of 600 women dressmak-
ers of the Forest City Manufacture
ing Co. is being sold out by the fax
ers Of the International Ladies Gar
ment Workers Union and the A. F.
of L. Trades Council of Collinsville.
Thepresident of Laborers' Union.
Local A. which is affiliated to the
Trades Council, made an open state
ment he will protect any scabs who
want to go to work and help them
get into the shop.
The rest of the Trades Council and
Ben Gilbert of the I. L. G. w. u.
do their strike-breaking work in a
covered-up manner. At the meet
ings OF the strikers they declare that
they are for the strike, but at the
same time they work hand in hand
with the mayor, who sent his police
to arrest strikers for keeping scabs
out Of the factory, in trying to get
the workers to go back for the same
wages and promising them that he
will straighten things out afterward.
A meeting of strikers and miners.
that was supposed to be held April
IL by the Needle Trades Workers
Industrial Union to expose the fax
ers, was not held, because the Trades
Council closed the hall Of the Min
ers' Temple. This hall is supposed
to be owned by the miners, but in
reality it is controlled by the takers
OF the American Federation of La
Dor, which was proven by their ac-
ton last Saturday in closing the
hall.
The Needle Trades Workers In
dustrial Union is issuing a call to the
workers of Collinsville warning them
again against the sell-out and advis-
ing to- take matters into their own
hands in order to win the strike.

NEW Y0RK.--Protestin in mill
ant fashion the attempt to deport
Louis Bebritz, editor of Vi Elore,
Hungarian Communist Daily, at the
instigation of the Fish Committee,
practically half OF the town of Gains
vile, Mo, signed a militant denun-
citation and forwarded same to the
international Labor Defense.
The petition protesting the actions
of the Fish Committee is a signifi-
can't sign of the militancy of the
workers both north and south in their
determination to fight the terror of
the U. S. ruling class. Here is a
southern town with an almost solid
American background ready to fight
any attempt to imprison, lynch or de-
port workers in their struggle against
capitalism.
The petition forwarded to the III
ternationsl Labor Defense and signed
by a large section of the population
of GAINESVILLE denounces the Fish
Committee for trying to deport Beb-
ritz because Of his loyalty to the
working class.
The petition reads:
I'VE, the undersigned people of
GAINESVILLE, county Harrison, state of
Missouri, declare our protest to the
infamous Hamilton Fish Committees
deportation Of the editor Bebritz to
the notorious Horthy regime of Hun
gary, where he would be executed for
no other crime than spreading the
good tidings to those who feel the
yoke of capitalism. We protest the
unWarranted and despicable display
Of ssdisn."
With the petition signed by a large
section of the population of that town
came a letter explaining that the
workers of that section had lately
been reading the Labor Defender.
where they had been first informed
Of the Bebritz case and that all the
workers with the exception of small
clique are awakening and interested
in the growing militant movement in
the United States.
