MASS PICKETING
ANTONOFF SHOP

NEW YORK. On Wednesday
May 81, when the pickets at the
Antonoff- Novelty Slipper Company,
II Green Street were marching
peacefully back and forth, one of the
bosses ran out of the building and
attacked the pickets. At 9 in the
morning two hired gangsters tried
to attack a group of strikers, but
they received a proper answer from
the strikers and they did not dare
to touch them again. At noon a
group of gangsters with irons in
their hands attacked striker, Hy-
man Greenberg. Other strikers came
to his rescue and two gangsters were
arrested, held under $1,000 bail each.
The strike is led by the Shoe and
Leather Workers Industrial Union
of the T.U.U.L. against the locking
out of the Shop Committee.
The Board and Leather Workers
Industrial Union conducts an orRa-
nizational drive to organize the
Slipper workers. Every Shoe and
Slipper worker should come to the
picket line every day at z in the
mroning and $3.50 in the evening.

workers have fully responded to the
strike call of the union against the
bosses lockout.
Mass meetings of the strikers held
in Rand School and at Beethoven
Hall showed clearly that yesterdays
and Thursdays response was very
good, and that the workers are will
ing and ready to fight for their de-
mands against the employers de-
man for wage cut and reorganization.
The Pocketbook Workers Union Of
ficials, in their speeches, emphasized
that the strike was called because
the bosses refused arbitration, and
declared that they did not want to
call the strike
The workers have good reason to
fear that the officials will call off
the strike if the bosses consent to
arbitration.
The left win points out to the
membership that arbitration will
mean reorganization, and that means
the right of the bosses to fire work
ers twice a year.
The left wing calls upon the work.
ers to intensity their struggle for the
4o-hour week, for unemployment in

committees and demand representa-

Communist Party Candidate for

IT is significant that the young
workers of the East have chosen
PaSsaic, N. j., as the scene of their
first celebration of National Youth
Day.
Passaic-where 80 per cent of the
workers in mill, factory and shops
are youths-was made famous in the
history of the class struggle by the
textile strike of 1926-27. The youth
of Passaic were in the forefront of
this historic class struggle.
Passaic and vicinity-with its 20
large textile mills and seven dye
ho1 les normally employing $4,000
wor iers, of whom $500 are boys and
girls.
Passaic-where SO per cent of the
workers are unemployed, while the
wages of those remaining at work
are cut from 20 to 80 per cent;
where part-time work is prevalent
and Hoover's stagger system is used
to still further reduce wages, in
crease speed-up and intensity labor.

The situation in Passaic is typical
of the conditions of the workers
throughout New Jersey. This graft
ridden state is the scene of the most
ruthless exploitation of the workers.

AL Smiths Admissions.

NEW YORK. - Ex- Governor Al
Smith has published signed article
couched in demagogic language, but
admitting much of what the Daily
Worker has already repeatedly
charged about the growing unem-
ployment crisis. Smiths motives are
undoubtedly to get even somewhat
with the cliques which unanswered
him out of office, but many of his
facts are correct.
Smith points out that reduction of
wages means reduced purchasing
power, and that the wave of wage
cuts now going over the country
makes the crisis grow like a snow
ball rolling down hill. 1--WE are at
the door of June" continues Smith,
land if there is any change for the
better in the economic or unemploy-
nent situation I am not aware of it
-. BY warning that public improve
ments were not to be counted on for
any speedy relief is justified. 1t must
be remembered that so far as public
Work is concerned there is wide
stretch between the point of appro-
priation and the beginning of con-
Struction."
Smith points to decreases of 10 to
20 per cent in production as COM
pared with month ago and with
