EFFORT TO BREAK
CRUSADER STRIKE
Epstein of ALL. Act
ing With Bosses

NEW YORK.-Mr. Metarkis, own
er of the Crusader Restaurant, and
his associates have modified the
entire machinery at their disposal to
try and break the strike Of the work
ers. First he was called on by one
of the best friends of the bosses, Ep-
stein, the well known racketeer from
Local 302 Of the A. F. Of L., who is
working out plans to break the strike,
Whatever plans they have devised
for the purpose will be effectively
met by the Food Workers Industrial
Union and brought to the attention
of the members of Local 302 who
are ready to fight against tn estrike
breaking officials. Members of the
Local are ready to bring this up at
the next membership meeting this
coming Friday night, october 80, at
Beethoven Hall.
The next step OF the boss was
to try and break down the morale
of the strikers at a conference called
under the pretext of trying to settle
the strike where from the beginning
it was clearly seen that this was a
vancouver to force the workers back
to work.
The boss fatty refused to allow
union conditions. He appealed to the
workers to go back to work on the
grounds he is a very nice boss" and
doesn't put thru direct wage cuts as
Foltis g. Fisher. But he does it in
a different way. He fires the work
ers and hires new ones for less
money in order to lower the wage
scale. The workers sensed the threat
and together with the officials of the
Union decided to concentrate more
efforts towards bringing victory. The
next few days will see more inten-
sified pieketing and mass pressure.

REFUSES NEWARK
JOBLESS PERMIT
Will Demonstrate On
Sat. Despite Cops

NEWARK, N. j., Oct. 29.-Chief
of Police McRell has refused a per-
NIT to the unemployed for this Sat-
urday, Oct. 81, at II a. m. to dem
onstrate at the corner of Broad and
Green Streets at the time that they
will be presenting demands for free
food and clothing for all children of
unemployed parents.
Dan Shugrue, Newark secretary of
the Unemployed Council, after being
verbally refused the permit today by
the Chief himself stated, "This is a
brazen violation of free speech. 1t is
an attempt to keep the unemployed
workers and their starving children
from presenting their demands for
free food and shoes to the Board of
Education. Chief McRell has allowed
both the Republican and Democratic
parties to parade all over Broad st.
But he claims that we will block
traffic. He is allowing the notorious
labor faker, Matthew Vol, to parade
and block traffic next Friday night
and he will even have traffic re-
routed for him if necessary, but we
cannot hold a demonstration because
we will block traffic We are going
ahead with the demonstration. We
are going to present our demands for
free food and shoes for all children
of the unemployed. We are going to
win some relief for the unemployed
workers"
Dan Shugrue also pointed out that
the reason the Republicans and
Democrats are allowed to block traf-
fic is because they represent the
bosses and the big financial and in
dustrial interests. "We are not per-
mitted to demonstrate because We
really represent the interests of the
workers and their children and are
determined to fight till we get free
food and shoes for these starving
children, and some immediate relief
for their unemployed parents"

McC0OEY TELLS HOW JUDGES WHO
JAIL WORKERS WERE SELECTED

purify capitalist government in the
eyes of the workers In doing this he
tries to avoid digging up too much
graft, contenting himself with brush
ing off few specks.
To make sure of sufficient votes to
put over its candidates, the demo-
cratic and republican party register a
lot of fake votes, the testimony
showed on Thursday. While only 80
instances we're reported, everybody
knows that Seabury is just keeping
back the fact that the capitalist par
ties register thousands of fake votes,
enough in every district to carry their
candidates. Everything is done in an
effort to insure the reelection of the
grafters.
Manufacture Judgeships.
In the matter of judges, who will
later send workers to prison for fight
ing for unemployment relief, or who
will order eYctions by the thousands,
the Republican and Democratic par
ties do not even go to the extent of
an election, the Seabury investiga-
ton showed. McCooey and Theofel,
the heads respectively of the Repub-
Ican and Democratic grating ma
chimes, simply met, decided IL new
judgeships should be created-more
efficiently in these times of crisis to
railroad unemployed workers to Jail
and that the best way of dividing
the spoils would be to hand seven
judges to the democrats and five to
the republicans. AS there were no
opposing judges, election was GER
tain. How much each judge paid for
the certainty of getting his rake-off,
the Seabury investigation did not
show, though it did bring out few
facts about donations" to election
funds-when there was to be no cleo

McCoeey, not content with his big
share of graft (Which Seabury did
not bring OUT decided to bring a
little more into the family and so put
his 32-year-old son Jack McCooey
into a judgeship. Jack McCooey'S
life has been just one grating Job

FORD. WORKERS !
GET WAGE-CUT
in ALL PLANTS
Workers Fired, Then
Retired at Lower
Wage Scale i

DETROIT.-Henry Ford, who more
than year ago after a conferences
with President Hoover stated that hs
would not attack the wage scale, has
launched into a wholesale wage
slashing campaign that will hit ali
the workers in the Ford plants.
The minimum scale whcih was set
over a year ago at ST Is now being
Systematically reduced to So. Thou
sands of the Ford workers have been
fired during the past year with no
hope of returning to work again, Now
the remaining workers are to be fired
and rehired at a lower wage.
This firing of workers and rehiring
at a lower wage has been going ON
for some time. Each department
lays off the workers for what they
call mechanical changes" The
workers must then report to the
company employment office where
they are examined and in many
cases rejected altogether. These who
are rehired are assigned to different
jobs, and lower pay.
Although the Detroit newspapers
state that Ford is hiring new men
in the Rolling Mills, these mills are
shut down flat.
The method of Ford's procedure in
his attack on the wages of the
workers points out clearly the fear
held by the bosses that the workers
will organize and strike against the
wage-cuts. The Ford workers must
not be confused by the hiring and
rehiring scheme, Hit the wage-cut
by organizing into the Auto Workers
Industrial Union and striking.

KNITGOODS SHOP
WORCESTERSHIRE
Union Campaign Will
Be Intensified

The workers of the H. & M. Knit
ting Mills, 210 Varret ST., Brooklyn
went on strike today when the boss
attempted to deprive them Of the
benefits of organization procured in
the shop as a result of the successful
strike some time ago.
In an effort to terrorize the work
ers the boss hired gang of gorillas
who made an attack on the strikers.
Despite these efforts to terrorize
them the workers of the H. & M. are
organizing for militant struggle to
drive the gorillas off the picket line
and to carry ON the strike.
The mobilization for this strike, as
well as other activities toward the
organization of the knitgoods workers,
will be discussed and acted on at
the conference of knitgoods workers
to be held at Irving Plaza on Sum
day, Nov. LIST, at IL o'clock noon.
The knitgoods department of the
Industrial Union which is carrying
on organizational activities in this
almost completely unorganized field
has met with considerable success
during the last season. A number of
shops were completely unionized and
shop committees were formed which
are functioning and taking up the
grievances of the workers.
At the conference a report will be
given on the activities and achieve
ments of the department during the
past season, and concrete plans for
organizational activities during the
coming season.
All workers of knitgoods shops are
called upon to send delegates to this
conference. Those of the knitgoods
workers who have not as yet sue
ceeded in unionizing the shop in
which they are working, are called
upon to get together with the union
members and sympathizers and send
delegates to represent the group.

NEW YORK.-After revealing the
fact John H. McCooey, Brooklyn
democratic leader, agreeing with Re
publicans, decided to create IL more
iudgeships so that they could be filled
with grafters, among whom was in

posed to be investigating city corrup-
ton, has in mind not only to get a
good fat political job himself under
the guise of honesty, but wants to
