TUUL EVICTED IN
POLICE-BOSS
JOINT ATTACK
Vicious Conspiracy of
Fakers-Bosses of
ILGWU Takers

NEW YORK.-The Trade Union
Unity Council was suddenly evicted
| yesterday from its headquarters on
/ Dist ST., as the result of a vicious
conspiracy between the agents of the
building, and the I. L. G. company
union and their police and deputy
sheriff allies.
Alarmed by the rapid growth of
the influence of the TU.U.C. and its
revolutionary unions among the
workers of New York, the L L. G,
company union and their police al
lies brought pressure to bear on the
agents of the building in an effort
to disrupt the work of the organiza-
ton. The eviction was carried out
in face of the fact that negotiations
had been going on for several days
between the agents of the building
and the T.U.U.C. for a lease on the
building.
At ten o'clock in the morning, the
building was suddenly invaded by po-
lice, detectives and deputy sheriffS
who Immediately began throwing out
the furniture before the TUU.C,
could have an opportunity to mobil-
ize the workers for the defense of
their headquarters. The files Of the
T.U.U.C. and its affiliated unions
having headquarters in the building
we're broken into and their contents
recklessly thrown about Furniture,
typewriters etc, we're deliberately
damaged. As the Daily Worker goes
to press the furniture is still on the
streets. So sudden and unexpected
was the eviction the organization had
no time to obtain new headquarters.
The headquarters housed many of
the revolutionary unions, including
food, shoe, metal, unemployed, office
workers, building maintenance,
building trades, laundry, jewelry, etc.
The work Of these unions and of the
TU.U.C. is entirely disrupted as a
result of the raid and eviction The
entire organization is crippled for
the moment. This was the deliberate
purpose of the I. l.. G. company
union and its fellow conspirators.
The Trade Union Unity Council
appeals to all workers to save this
desperate situation by Immediately
ralIying with contributions so that
new headquarters may be OBJ
tanned All workers organizations,
unions, clubs, etc, are earnestly
urged to come to the rescue of the
T. u. U. C. and the revolutionary
unions by rushing funds at once to
East 10Th Street. Individual work
ers are urged to bring their contribu-
tons in person in order to have as
little delay as possible in securing
new headquarters and starting up
the work of the Council again.
This vicious attack on the revolu-
tionary unions makes it all the more
imperative that the masses give the
most wholehearted support to the
T. U. U. C. picnic on Sunday, Au-
gust 2, at Pleasant Bay Park.
Workers! Negro and white! Or
ganized and unorganized! Native
and foreign born! Smash the eff
forts of the bosses and their COM
pany union and police agents to
cripple the fight against starvation,
against wage cuts, and for higher
wages and better conditions. Rally
to the defense of the Trade Union
Unity Council Rush funds at once
to S East 10th ST.

mont Ave, and the Grass Dress Co.,

agreement and unanimously voted
to strike against the ultimatum of

to stop the workers of the other
floors where the knitted garments
are finished.

The Need for Unity

AT no time in the history Of the Lower Rio Grande
Valley has the need for a central organization which will
act as a clearing house for opinions and a melting pot
which will merge these opinions into a unified line Of
thought been more apparent than during the past two
weeks.
Various points in HidaIgo county, through their local
organizations and through the commissioners court Of
the county nave forwarded petitions to Washington ask
ing the early closing of the international bridges leading
from Hidalgo county across the river into Mexico.
80 far as is known, no such petitions were forwarded
from Cameron county or from Brownsville, the one city
IN the county seriously affected by a change in the closing
hours on It's two international bridges.
Without attempting to pass upon the merits or the
uemerlts Of the arguments advanced by Hidalgo county
Interests, It appears manifestly unfair that Brownsville
and Cameron county should be affected by the response
70 petitions forwarded from another county.
We do not believe that organizations in Hidalgo
county IN their requests for a change in the closing hours
ever thought that the Brownsville and MatamOros bridges
would be affected by the orders they were seeking.
We do not believe that there is anyone in Brownsville
or Cameron county who would deny TO Hidalgo county
the right to ask for such closing hours as may be desired
by Hidalgo county residents.
It is obvious now, after the closing hours have been
changed, that a conference between all cities and or
CARNATIONS interested would undoubtedly have resulted in
the working out of a plan and a petition which would
have proved satisfactory to all concerned.
The Brownsville Herald has repeatedly stated during
the past six months its firm belief that a central organiza-
ton, call it a Valley Chamber Of Commerce OF whatever
other name you may see fit to apply, is sorely needed in
this section.
With the best intentions in the world. one section Of
the Valley may unwittingly injure another section Of the
Valley simply because the one section does not have an
intimate knowledge of local conditions as they exist in the
other section, a condition which would prove well nigh
impossible were a central organization set up to act as a
Closing of the international bridges is only one point
which happens to be much IN the public eye at the pres
ent moment. There are many other conditions and ac-
lions which might be brought out, but which are un-
necessary to bring out the point.

Why Racketeers Stay

Atty. Gen. Mitchell is entirely right in saying that the fed
eral government cannot be expected to do all the work of
breaking up gangs in cities like New York and Chicago.
Commenting on the Capone indictments and allied cases
Mr.. Mitchell recently said:
Every time we make a move like that people think we're
taking over the entire job Of extinguishing rackets. That is
not our job. OF course we are glad to help, but there will be
rackets as long as the public in the municipalities allows
them to stay"
This is the sort Of thing that needs to be said very often.
Big city gangs exist because the public tolerates them. ANY
city could get rid Of its gangs in a fortnight If its inhabitants
really wanted to.
