Picketing Goes On At
Four Operations

So flifnsy ives the basis of the at

Union, Local ga, In getting an in
junction against the union now strik-
ing four building operations in Brook
lynn, that the Appellate Division of
the Supreme Court, Madison Ave. and
2eth st., yesterday was forced to
throw out the plea for the injunc-
ton.
The application for injunction as
made out by the contractor was ad.
dressed to Willie Cohen and other
busted officials of the union. The
trick was to force, through court
action, recognition Of theakicked- out
officials as still leading the union.
But from the first the fathers and
the arrested pickets showed how
they had nothing to do with the ex-
PEELED officials who they had caught
in the act of betraying them to the
employers.
Picketing is now going on at the
four operations still employing non
union fathers.
Because of the pressure of Local
244, International Vice President
Murphy has come down to straight
en- things out"
1t is expected that he will be COM
PEELED to recognize the new admins

why the Building Trades District

Trials OF Harlem
Workers Today
Framed-up BY Police
and Garvey Leaders

NEW YORK.--The cases Of the
four Herlein Negro workers framed
up by the Garvey misleaders in al
lance with the police, will come up
for trial in General Sessions Court,
Part Z, at 10 O'clock this morning.
The trial was scheduled for yester-
day but was postponed to today. The
frame-up Of these four workers grows
directly out of the fight for the free
dom of the 9 innocent Scottsboro
boys and the attempt of the Carney
national reformists and the N. A. A..
C. P, misleaders to smash this fight.
White and Negro workers are urged
to pack the court this morning In
solidarity with the A four framed up
workers and the fAht for uncondi-
tional equality for hte Negro masses.
AS the doors Of the court are closed
promptly at ten O'Clock it is necessary
that the workers should get there by
$50 to insure getting in.

portant strikes in the various
branches OF the trade. A splendid

yesterday In front Of the London
Dress Co., 245 Seventh Ave. a shop

Of the bosses to fill up the shop with

The workers Of the Fox 81 Weiss
man shop, 40 w. seth st., and I. j.
Fox, 39l Fifth Ave, are continuing
their strike despite the injunction.
The strike against the Robinhood

SHEET METAL
WORKERS REBEL
AGAINST CLIQUE
Members Of Local 28
Call Own Meeting

NEW YORK.--A revolt has broken
out in Local 2S of the Sheet Metal
Workers "a. p. L.. The president
has closed two meetings prematurely
to silence the membership which was
demanding that 8 new Administra-
ton be elected. The last Of these,
Dec. 3, resulted In the president call
ing in police to clear the hall, the
members having refused to take his
word for it that the meeting was
adjourned. The socialist party clique,
led by B. Cohen and J. Turvin, sup
ported the corrupt administration to
the point Of physically sssau1ting
rank and filers.
Following this, the rank and file
themselves called a continuation
meeting which took place Dec. S, with
800 present, and was the first meet
ing in a long time where there was
no discrimination: Jew and Gentle,
any rank and filler, could get the
floor and speak.
The meeting decided to exhaust
all legal means before going TO
court" and sent a committee to
Washington to interview Interna-
tional President Hynes and demand
some redress of grievances against
the officials. Another meeting is to
take place Dec. IL at Webster Hall
at l p. m. sharp, to hear the report
back of this committee.
EDITORS NOTE.-This is an
other of the many recent revolts
against their swindhng bureaucracy
by rank and file members of the var
ious A. F. L. unions. But these sheet
metal workers will find, as other
workers have found, that court action
does not work, because the capitalist
courts and the capitalist agents who
have been acting as union officials
always have an understanding with
each other. Build real rank and
file leadership, refuse to let your
selves be swindled by any promises
from Hynes, look out for tricks. Get
in touch with the Metal Workers In
dustrial League of the T. U. q. L., s
East 10th St. which will help In all
struggles of the rank and file.

10 was too Istel So did the workers
in the Paper Box Union, before us.
"Last Thursday . mass meeting

paying admission TO see! Our bosses
called the meeting 49, they admitted

But to continue-the bosses got
up and spoke -. ''rIrnes are bad -
KraislovSky is making it worse by
Undertaking or contract work" They
want us riggers TO help them OUT
no, they did not say it Just that way
but they actually said they want
us riggers to have union and they
are even anxious to finance it. About
80 Of us head them repeat it and
their heart-breaking tales. They even
admitted breaking us up lthrough
Lambie) last year and confessed how
sorry they were for doing 1t. Also
the traitorous part Kraislovsky play
ed against them shortly after. Hence
this new union In the hopes Of us
ing it against Kraislovsky Not q
company union exactly" oh no!
THE following is the list of the
bosses present who pledged support:
Academy Trucking Co., Jacob Good
man, Lederman Trucking, signan
Trucking, New York Rigging, A. Katz,
M & NJ. Trucking, Benny Brown
Trucking, Jerry O'Connel, Dave Gut
tenberg g. Bros. and several others.
About SIS in cash was collected
which was hastily pocketed by the
legal swindler Klibanoff, much TO the
disgust of Bill Masek You know this
robber Masek. He is now the treas
urer Of this bosses union" the same
as he was In the last one. This poor
fellow didn't profit SO much before
from us--he only bought Long Is

This time he is out to buy the rest
Of Long Island.
'+The so present and the collection
we're only possible because Of the fear
of many of them that they would
be fired if they did not attend and
chip in.
we riggers should know enough
about Lambie TO keep away from
anything he handles. The bosses
want fake union to help them fight
Hraislovsky and possible Centre. The
bosses and Lambie will control 1t. We
will be suckers if re fall for this,
The only sensible thing to do Is
to organize a real Riggers Union
controlled by the riggers themselves.
The Transportation Workers Indus
trial League was ready to help us
last year to have a clean and mil
liant union-we were ready to affil-
late With them but Lambie did his
dirty work and broke us up alto
