ENGLISH LOSING.
DANGERL LURE

LONDON, May 10.-Sir Ernest
Graham-Little, M. p, speaking at
a luncheon here, said the psychol.
ogy of the Englishman seemed to
have changed and that he is more
willing to be ruled and governed
than before. He declared:
"The English were always re-
garded as an adventurous race,
but they are losing their appe-
tite for danger. They are unwil-
ling to leave a community in
which they are cOddled so un-
reasonably to face the problems
Of a new country; they are un-
ready to face risks, and they are
becoming pathetically satisfied
with what amounts to pauperiza-
ton.
e "Our dOminiOns are becoming
increasingly cOlOnized by alien
races, who are showing them
selves more willing to work than
we are"

and dug, and left the worm
ground so badly mussed that
residents protested to police au-

They had no objection to anna

Laundry Strikers
Tricked Into Re-
Turning to Work
Bosses Use Gangsters
to Keep Workers from
Re-Striking

NEW YORK.--The bosses OF the
Sun Laundry, i7sth st. and Lafon-
tain Ave, Bronx, after promising a
committee of the workers that they
would take all workers back without
discrimination, and that all wage
cuts would be returned If the threat
ened strike was called off, tricked the
workers back to work and broke the
agreement.
When the workers came to work
Monday, after settlement had been
reached with committee late Sun
day night, the boss surrounded them
with mob Of about hundred
gangsters and bosses from other
laundries. The workers we're rushed
out to work on the wagons and
trucks under guard of one or two
gangsters each. Many had cars of
gangsters following them besides.
The drivers were virtually prisoners,
end It took some Of them hours to
outWit their watchmen in order to
call the Laundry Workers Industrial
Union, $50 E. 19sth st., to tell what
happened and to get instructions.
But if the bosses intended to break
the spirit Of the workers with this
guerilla warfare, 1t had the opposite
effect. The workers involved learned
SoTp o. hing about thA ,,aakf.nae re Sl,a
bosses, but their resentment is much
more bitter than ever and they are
determined to fight against the gang
sterism and slavery Of the bosses.
They are preparing to give the bosses
the proper answer and develop a
strike no. only in the Sun Laundry,
but IN al the United Powec Laun-
dries, TO which the Sun belongc, such
as the Planet. West Side, Eagle, De-
mand and Star.
The strike III the New Sayle Laun-
dry 10th St. and Third Ave, is EN-
tering the second week. The workers
are as determined as ever to win
their demands.
The boss has let it be known
through q third party that he would
grant the demands Of the drivers if
they would desert the inside work
ers, but this was fatty rejected by
all workers.
Two strikers Of the New Style we're
sentenced 10 ten days each for talk
ing to scab.
