FORGE STRIKE
BY
SOCIALISTS"
S P Sheriff Assists
Scabs; Press Denies
There Is A Strike
Milwaukee Leader Lied
Socialist; Sends Son
to Scab In Plant

MILWAUKEE, Wise, May 49,
LadiSh Drop Forge strike was broken
by the hiring of hundred scabs, and
the scabs and the company had the
full support of the ocialist party
sheriff and the socialist press.
Nine tenths of the working force
came out on strike against ten
per cent wage cut. and against the
terrible speed-up system.
A socialist saloon keeper in Cud-
ahy, named Houdek, sent his son to
scab, and when the workers protested
to him, he told them the men should
not have struck, they should have
gone to see the governor, who would
have helped them!
Quilted All Others.
The official policy of the capitalist
press was to minimize the extent OF
the strike. Thus the Journal of
Milwaukee said there were IL men on
strike against ten per cent wage
cut. The News" said so men were
on strike and 100 were on the picket
line. But the Milwaukee Leader, j
official organ of the socialist party
beat the capitalist press in lying
against the strikers
The Leader" had a headline May
II, about the picketing was: "Cudahy
Workers Ask Protection From Com
munists!" The Leaders article said
Two employees at the Ladish Drop
Forge Co. plant at Cudahy com
planned to the police today that they
had been threatened by Communists
and requested protection They said
that last week five Communists
threatened them with their lives
They declared the Communists de-
manded they go on strike Officially
the company said the dissatisfaction
among the workers is confined to 10
per cent, and that a strike is not
pending. The district attorney re-
ferred them osheriff AL Benson"
Knew the Facts.
When this article appeared, the
strike had been going on for five
days, Leader" reporter had visited
the scene three days before, and
talked with the strikers. He knew
that $50 men were out at the time
he was there. and he told them they
couldn't win the strike unless the
A. F. of L. led them. The fact that
the workers turned down the A. F.
of L. and the socialist party probably
had something to do with the out
rageous lying and lbaor treachery in
the socialist party press.
The socialists denied there was a
strike, and the socialist sheriff AL
Benson is used to break it.
