LONG BRANCH, N. j., Aug. s.
On Thursday, July 25 meeting
which was to be held by the Election
Campaign Committee was broken up
by the police department in COOP
Grafton with the Ku Klux Klan. The
meeting started with about 100 pre-

the meeting telling the workers that
the Board Of Commissioners had
not given us permission for the
holding of the meeting, because they
did not want us to expose them as
the same gang as Hoover, who was
going to put chicken in every pot
and give us prosperity when he was
elected. Comrade Sepesy who was
supposed to speak next just stared
when four cops on motor cycles
raced through the workers followed
by IL cars full of cops who started
beating up Sepesy. A fine spirit was
shown by the workers. They jeered
the cops after they had succeeded
in breaking up thte meeting. Com

ARREST PICKET

Scabs Use Guns in
Attack on Workers

On Thursday. July 80, when the
pickets at the Glenmore Shoe Co.,
221 Powell St, Brooklyn, were taken
off to go home they met three scabs
at Sutter and Powell st. A big
crowd Of the working class popula-
ton were around and 'llollered strike
breakers" One of the scabs took
out gun and shot two shots. One
bullet went into restaurant, corner
Powell and Sutter AYES, and the
other bullet went through a passing
car The three scabs charged the
crowd with knife but the strikers
and the crowd we're not afraid Of
the shots and the scabs were ar
rested by the police but were re-
leased after they were taken to the
police station.
This is another way Of how the
administration of the city of New

following day one of the workers,
Louis Monico, was framed up on a
charge of felonious assault by one Of
the scabs who made the attack on
the crowd with the knife. He was
held under two thousand dollars bail.
All Of the shoe workers should come
to assist the Glenmore strikers in
their fight against wage cuts and the
shoe workers must, through mob
ilization, smash the frame ups
against the workers on strike.

BOOK ON LABOR
FACTS ISSUED
Filled with Data on
Workers. Jobs, Lives

When the u S. Department Of
Labor announces that over 10000
workers have been on strike during
the first 6 months Of 1881, almost as
many as during the whole year 1880,
active workers and organizers want
more facts. Strikes have greatly in
creased during this second year of
the crisis. Then how do the num-
bers on strike and the number of
strikes compare with earlier years
back of 1890?
What strikes have taken place in
the history of this or that industry
When and where did they occur?
How many workers we're involved?
These are some of the questions
workers ask. Organizers find they
need to know about the major strug-
giles in American labor history, in
dustry by industry.
Now along comes the Labor Fact
Book with an invaluable list Of
strikes in American labor history,
from 1872 when 100000 building
workers we're out in New York City,
down to February, 1881, when 10000
Lawrence textile workers carried on
the struggle against the boss class.
The section on strikes is only one
of 200 or more in the book, answer
ing literally hundreds Of questions

224 pages, fitting neatly into a

POLICE TERROR
ON NEGROES IN nj
Boss Press Incite to
Lynching

LEONIA, N. j., August 3.--A wide
spread police terror was launched
against Negro workers here follow
ing the hold-up of white girl, who
described the person who snatched
her purse as Negro. Associated
Press ditpatches report that she was
knocked on the head while trying
to get back her purse.
On the vague description she was
able to give of the robber, the police
of Leonia and Englewood, together
with ku klux elements, have organ
ized posses and are carrying out
wholesale arrests of Negro workers,
Those arrested are being put through
a brutal third degree in the effort to
force them TO confess to the robbery.
The local New Jersey press is
playing up the hold-up as an at
tempted rape case with view of
melting to lynch terror against the
Negro population here.

Many Of the Share-c choppers we're
turned off after the crops had been
laid by and had the choice of
starving on the land while the
crops they laid by were maturing,
or starving elsewhere 1t was an
effort by the landowners to drive
the croppers from the land and
take their entire crops when har-
vesting time came. employing day
labor at so and 25 cents a day.
Choppers in such a situation had
nowhere to turn for food, their al
loWances having been cut off when
the crops were laid by.
Hence their recently organized
union and hence the attacks on
them by the landowners-feudal
lords worse than any in times past.
For in older systems of feudaliSn,
the worker had security If he did
not have freedom. These feudal
slaves Of Alabama have freedom of
