W GOD HEEL
WORKERS STRIKE
Struggle Menaced By
Traitorous Leaders

BROOKLYN, N. Y.-Workers from
the New York Wood Heel, IS Quin-
cy ST.; Progressive Wood Heel, State
and Smith Sts.; Williamsburg Wood
Heel and Manhattan Wood Heel of
Sanford and Myrtle Ave, are out on
strike for better conditions.
The conditions of the Wood Heel
workers all over Brooklyn and New
York are daily becoming unbearable.
In the New York Wood Heel factory,
the workers were getting $40 and
s12 for Al hours per week. The
piece workers made only $25 to $50
a week. If any of the workers had
made a little more than the above
they we're afraid to hand in their
tickets because the bosses would
have Immediately cut the prices. AL
of the workers from the factories
during the slack period are making
only few pennies day. The week
workers are laid-off.
The election of Republican and
Democratic committee shows very
clearly that Smith and Bankroft are
out to play with the corrupted Tam
many Hall politicians whose policy
has always beent hat Of breaking
strikes The election Of the Com
nnittee Of Ex-Servicemen is also di-
rected to betray them into the
American Legion, the fascist strike
breaking organization. This must be
immediately exposed by the strikers
at the strike hall
The talk of Smith to smile of the
COP beats up the workers on the
picket line is to allow the cops to
break the strike. The strikers must
demand and mobilize mass picket
lines in front of every struck wood
heel shop, and beat back any at
tacks of the police and bosses thugs.
The slogan of the strikers must be
a fight to the end for victory. Twen-
ty per cent increase in wages for all
wood heel workers. A minimum wage
scale for young workers to be de-
cided by the young workers them
selves and not by Bankroft. The
immediate spreading of the strike in
all wood heel shops. No settlements
TO be made by Bankroft. All set
Elements to be made by the workers.
Recognition of the shop committee.
The Bankroft-Smith gang intends
to fatten on the workers by trucking
| them into a sell out The workers
must know that the only organi2a-
ton that can lead them into victory
is the Trade Union Unity League and
its union, the Shoe and Leather
Workers Industrial Union. The strik-
ers should demand that the repre-
Sentatives of the Shoe and Leather
Workers Industrial Mon be allowed
to speak and present their program
for the wood heel workers. Get in

dorcing the Communist Party Elec-

the platform of the Party before all

for the immediate task OF collecting
IS 900 signatures to enable the Com
munist Party to place its candidates

J. Louis Engdahl, Communist Can
didate for Congress in the 7th Dis
trict, Brooklyn, exposed the role Of
the labor takers, particularly in the
A. F. of L. who are against granting
any measure OF unemployment relief

this is a dole while they show no
concern about the fact that more
than ten million unemployed workers
thruout the country and one million
in New York are actually on the verge
Of starvation.
The following organizational pro-
posals for supporting the Communist
Party in the election campaign, pre-

This meeting which was being ad-

gress as we went to press.
Workers Resist Fake Settlements
The militancy and determination to
halt the fake settlements of the U.
T. Associated on the part Of the
strikers following the N. T. w. U. is
making itself felt to the settlement
committee of the fake union. Prompt
action in throwing picket lines about
the shops in which the workers were
forced back on fake settlement called
halt temporarily to such settle
ments. Two such picketed shops are
out again in response to our picket
line.
Not one shop has been announced
as settled by the fake union today.
From the G. G. G. shop where the
night shift was left entirely out Of
the so-called settlement, the discrin1-
mated workers were told by the u.
T. w. settlement committee that un-
less they join the U. T. w. they would
not even be considered as entitled to
work, and If they did join they might
be able to divide the work with the
day weavers. The workers refused,
saying that they had the right to
choose which union they wanted and
threatened to picket the mill If the
fake settlement persisted
Settled Shops" Come Out
The fake settlement committee evil
IDENTIFY got scared for they are hold
ing the question over day for con-
sideration.
At the Perfect Silk Co., the found
winders and quillers in the shop were
taken back at $3.50 per week below
the prices demanded by our union.
No shop committee exists in the shop.
The boss simply got slip from the
U. T. w. that the shop was o. K.
and the workers were ordered back.
Our picket line this morning took the
workers out again and the picket line
will be there every morning, until a
genuine settlement is reached.
1t is obvious that this is having a
tremendous effect on both the off,
Gals and on the rank and file, the
former getting shared and the latter
making their demands for unity with
us more insistent. This pressure on
their part is so great that the OFF,
Gals felt themselves compelled to
picket one of their own settled mills
yesterday, the York Silk Co., on the
charge of it being fake settlement.
A stsriking proof of scabbing and
fake settling on the part of the
UTW- Associated is the case Of the
Peggy Silk Co., which is a so-called
union shop of the former Associated
In this sgeneral strike this shop did
not even come out on strike and now

Several workers were arrest
ed for distributing leaflets de-
nouncing the trial as an at
tempt to whitewash the police
massacre which resulted in the
murder of four Negro workers and
The wounding of scores Of Negro and
white workers. The leaflet exposed
The city administration and the land
lords and local N. A. A. c. P. lead
srs as directly responsible for the
shooting down and murder of I'M
employed workers.
In an effort to terrorize the IN
employed workers into submitting
without protest to being evicted,
Judge Thomas A. Green ordered the
arrest of James Thurman, his wife
and Two children. A warrant had
previously been issued for the aged
mother of Thurman. It was the
eviction Of this family that the
workers we're demonstrating against
when police fired into the crowd of
zen, women and children.
The bosses and their courts now
seek to victimize this family as
warning to other unemployed work
ers who are unable to pay their rent
and are evicted This is in line
with the promise made to meet
ing Of the landlords on Aug. s by
Acting Chief Justice Frank M Pad
den Of the Municipal Court, who
then told his bosses;
We must discriminate between
the needs of the poor and the
rights Of the property owners. The
latter must be sGfeguarded and
the Poor will have to be cared for

Elements which the bosses will be
forced to observe.
Pioneers and Strikers Children
March


March
Over 100 Pioneers and children of
strikers composed one section and the
kids were among the peppiest singers
and shouters in the line. The youth
had splendid organization, cheering
and carrying placards with their spe-
cial youth demands In the women's
section, one woman pushed baby
carriage with three months old
infant with two more pulling at her
skirts. At the end of the parade af-
ter three hours Of marching, she was
still at her post. The main body Of
workers in the parade was led by
jim Reid, President 81 the National
Textile Workers Union and Robert
w. Dunn, Director of the Labor Re-
search Association of New York.
All along the line of march the
thousands of workers watching the
parade applauded and cheered the
workers showing that the rest of the
workers of Paterson in other indus
tries, support the fighting textile
workers union and are solidly with
the strikers in their fight against the
fake settlements which the officials
OF the u. T. W.-Associated are fore
ing upon the workers in that union.
Every shop that has gone to work
on q fake settlement was booed by
the marching workers Every shop
in which the looms could be heard
was greeted by chorus of Out on
Strike!"
Police Attack Parade
Thespeakers on the stand were all
ready to begin. Suddenly everything
was turmoil and confusion Workers
we're being slugged left and right by
police clubs. Women ran shrieking
down the street in every direction,
with police chasing them madly with
clubs and guns. Children we're over
thrown and tramped upon. The cops
grabbed women around the necks
from behind and strangled them I'M
til they were blue in the face.
One cop threw chain around q
workers neck and drew it tight I'M
til the worker almost choked. Com
rade B. Salzburg was brutally beaten
up when she began resisting the at
tacks of the police. A blow from a
fist felled her to the ground and her
daughter, going TO her aid, was
thrown into the waiting patrol wag-
on. The mother was thrown in after
her and also four more workers. They
are now held without bail until the
morning, in the sinking filthy po-
lice jail,
1t was unquestionably planned
attack with the police and three pa
troll wagons appearing just as soor
as the last squad of marchers was
nearing the lot The assault was
at the rear end of the march and
the workers were taken absolutely
unawares. In spite of this vicious at
tack, the workers held their ground
in groups and remained to listen to
the speakers who addressed not only

DRY REPEAL PLAN
BACKED IN BOSTON
Rackemann Proposal to Give
States Control Endorsed by
! Massachusetts Vets.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BOSTON, May 1.-The Consdtu-
tional Liberty League last night made
public 1.-The Rackemann plan" for re-
pealing national prohibition and replac-
ing it with q system of regulation OF
the liquor traffic and abolition of the
saloon The plan was prepared by
Charles s. Rackemann, president Of the
league, which is also the Massachusetts,
division Of the Association Against the
Prohibition Amendment.
The plan proposes:
. Repeal of the eighteenth amendment
preferably by means of State conven-
tons called specifically for the purpose
rather than by Legislatures.
Repeal of the VolStead act.
Restoration of Federal supervision OF
the production, wholesale distribution
and interstate transportation of liquor.
Restoration to the States of complete
and final authority to prohibit to regu-
late the manufacture, transportation
and sale of liquor within their own Dor
ders.
Prevention of the return of the sa-
loon by State laws restricting sale OF
liquor to be consumed on the premises
TO bonaf1de restaurants and hotels.
Added protection to States satisfied
with prohibition by developing and per-
fecting Federal laws governing trans
portation Of liquor through or across
prohibition States.
Rackemann maintained that his plan
was not in reality very great under
taking and will not require much time
for accomplishment" He said dry
States might safely vote to inaugu-
rate the new system, their own pref
erences being safeguarded and their
autonomy being restored"
