IN SHOE SHOPS
<ingston Slipper Co
Forced to Settle

The Broass Bros. Shoe Co. at E.
18th St, New York City, is on strike.
Last week the boss ATTEMPTED TO put
ever another wage cut in a few de-
partmentS. The workers resisted, or
ganizsd themselves, and thus sue
ceeded in stopping the wage cut.
After a few days, the boss tried
new trick. He wanted to fire half
Of the force and thus compel the re-
naming workers to submit to any
condition he would find necessary to
impose upon them. The workers, I'M
der the leadership of the Shoe and
Leather Workers Industrial Union,
gave the boss the proper answer to
his maneuyers-with picket line in
front of the shop.
The workers of the French Slipper
Co., at 663 Broadway, are still on
strike, fighting for Union recognition.
The advertisements of the firm and
all ether schemes to get strike
breakers have failed. The Union is
determined to go on with this strike
and is sure to win.
Last Friday the Kingston Slipper
strike was settled, The workers were
cut on strike for three days. The
boss was forced to sign up with the
Union, and the workers went back
under Union conditions. The organ
ization drive is going on. More shops
are mobilizing for action. All shoe
workers are called to show up on the
picket line tthe above mentioned
shops.

FASCISTS KILL )
tCabIe BY Inprecorr)

wERLIN, Nov. 1.-The county cleo
ton in Mecklenburg yesterday
showed continuation of the same
tendencies as indicated in previous
polls. The poll was low, averaging
sixty percent. The socialists poll fell
from $4,000 to $1,000. The fascist
poll rose from $4,000 TO 10000 The
fascists gains were made at the ex-
pense chciefly of the bourgeois par
ties, although in part were due to
the socialist losses, also.
The Communist poll was increased
about twenty percent, although the
figures are as yet unavailable. The
fascist election terror demanded
three worker victims On Saturday
night the Doberan gang of fascists
shot down three Communist work
ers who were surprised while paisting
election slogans. The worker Bohm
was killed instantly. Worker Kloeck-
ing died in the hospital. The muir
derous fascist engineer, Gaed-cke,
pocketed the revolver whereby a shot
accidentally penetrated his own thigh.
He was removed to the hospital.
The police report states categori-
cally that the Communists were I'M
armed. The same night Braun, the
Chairman of the Communist Branch
of Bad Sueltze, was waylaid and
lynched by fascists. Braun's body
was so mutilated that Identification
was only possible through an unem-
ployment card found in his jacket.

mand immediate relief for the I'M
employed and free milk stations for
the children Of unemployed workers.
While about 1900 workers demon
strated before the Boro Hall q dele
CATION entered and presented their
demands.
The Boro President, who recently
sat in the Board of Estimate while
the city burget of 631 million dollars
was being apportioned and never ut
tered a word on behalf Of the 100000
unemployed of his Boro, stated that
he could do nothing to stop evictions.
He said "that's not my function"
When asked what he would do to
have milk stations established for the
starving children, he said again:
That's not my function"
The delegation demanded definite
answers to all the demands and
found that as far as the workers are
concerned the Boro President has
NO FUNCTION.
President Bruckner at first though
he could dismiss the delegation by
paying one workers rent, but the sec
ond worker, an eX-serviceman who
was elected from the meeting, an
swered by saying: mfr. Bruckner, you
will not solve the question of evic-
tions in the Bronx by having my
rent. I want an answer for all the
unemployed workers"
When the delegation reported to
the demonstrators outside they una
nimously endorsed the fight OF the
unemployed councils for unemploy-
ment insurance and the national

1t was announced that Bruckner
and the rest of the politicians of the
