truinped up against Devine. Efforts
to deport Devine were made several
months ago when he was arrested
during the Lawrence textile strike
He has been out on $4,000 bond.
The new charge against him is a
trick to enable the government to
put him in jail or deport him at
once.
An additional bond of $4,000 has
been demanded from the New York
District of the International Labor
Defense which is defending Devine.
The trial is being rushed. having been
set for tomorrow in the hope of
preventing any adequate defense
Isaac Shorr, attorney for the New

unless the working class gets behind
the defense and forces the govern

Industrial Union organizing, leading
and guiding the struggles of the
Needle Trades workers so will you
find the international and the other
company unions as the scab agency
of the bosses, trying to break the
real strikes of the workers, and to
force the most shameful conditions
upon the workers. In Needleman &
Bremmer Shop, 263 w. 40th St., where
the workers are striking against
wage-cut, the international is doing
everything to break that strike. The
international agents bring the Scabs
to the shop daily in the 'Interna-
tionaP automobiles guarded heavily
by gangsters, police and detectives.
In the Jerry Dress Co., 500 Seventh
Ave, where 10 dressmakers went on
strike against the bad conditions in
the shop, we find the international
sending it's executive board members
of Local 39 and other corrupted
elements to scab against the strikers
and they did everything to help the
bosses to get an injunction against
the striking dressmakers. The Inter
national played the same scab role
throughout the strikes in New York
and Philadelphia The International
can no longer hide its scab face from
the workers Schlesinger & Co, know
that great struggles are looming in
the needle industry against the rule
of the bosses and their scab agencies,

resort to new methods to mislead the
workers, to demoralize them in order
to hold back the coming revolts.

feel that in order to crush every at
