JAIL 5 WORKERS
IN FISH STRIKE
C a | | for Fight on
Injunction

NEW YORK-Tn the effort to break
the militant strike of the Bronx fish
workers by the injunction, the Tam
many government cooperating with
the flsh bosses, has arrested eight fish
workers OH the picket line today and
charged them with violating the in
junction. Kushner and Smithline
were arrested while picketing at 941
East l80th ST., Isidor Cohen at a fish
store on Jennings st. and the other
workers on Bathgate Ave. The Food
Workers Industrial Union calls upon
the working class public in the Bronx
to support the fish strike by fratia-
nizing only those stores which have
signed up with the union.
The tie-up Of the bosses and the
Tammany courts and judges with no.
torious racketeers is clearly shown in
the case of this injunction. The in
fluence of Dopey Benny gangster,
who heads racketeering outfit, was
uSeQ by zimmerman, organizer OF
the Fish Dealers Association, which
obtained the injunction against the
fish strikers.
The Food Workers Industrial
Union is calling a conference Of work
ers' organizations to mobilize the
working class to lay plans for a
smashing anti-injunction fight which
will make the injunction a dead let
ter. The Smash the Injunction Con-
ference which has been endorsed by
the Trade Union Unity Council will
take place next Friday evening, Jan.
18th, at 7:30 p. m at the headduart-
ers of the Union, East 10Th Street.
Workers organizations are urged to
send delegates 70 this conference

NEW YORK.-A public hearing
was held on Jan. % at 1913 Pitkir
Ave. by the Brownsville Unemployed
Council to expose the misery and
starvation which is forced on the I'M
employed. The following experiences
were told
H. Kaplan, living at sos Williams
Ave, a needle trades worker, makes
from SIC to SIT a week, pays s22
rent, has children, had to borrow
to pay rent but had to move. The
house is organized and is striking for
lower rent. The landlord Simon
Halpern, has gotten IS dispossesses
issued, but the workers are deter
mined not to pay and to fight or
until they win the strike.
L. Kramer, a child going to Public
School, whose fail er has been unen-
ployed for or 5 months, gets hardly
anything from the school, only soup
and bread. The school promised him
shoes but did not give them to him
Many more kids in the school need
relief but do not receive it. He was
forced to stay out of school one day
because Of lack OF food He and his
family we're evicted from their home
last week.
VIM. Brady. Negro worker unem~
ployed for months, lives at al Wat
kins ST., was thrown out of his house
at 1895 East New York Ave He
stopped the Marshal from putting
him out without dispossess, but the
Marshal got warrant for him. The
Unemployed Council stopped the
eviction and got the Brooklyn Bur-
eau Of Charities to pay his rent in
new rooms, he found. The council
also got the marshal to give SIS to
pay for moving.
Mrs. Fogel is out of work, has 4
children, applied to the United jew
sih Aid and Home Relief Bureau but
got no relief. Has not even got a
room to stay in. Two of her children
were taken away by the Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Chill
dren.
Eli Jaffe, unemployed for months,
worked for the landlord SO that his
rent is paid, his electric and gas is
shut off. Police station and Home
Relief Bureau said they would inves-
tigate but did not. Then the Home
Relief Bureau told him they had
nothing to do with the Electric and
Gas Companies. This worker thinks
that if the workers go in a group
they will get quicker and better re-
lief. ia

the factories and shops of New York
unemployed women and wives Of
workers will gather at a Working
Wenens Conference on Jan. 30, at
p. m. at Irving Plaza, 18th st, and
Irving Place, New York.
Since relief has been cut off In
New York, unemployed women are
suffering unbelievable misery. Even
the little relief that is thrown to the
workers is denied to single women,
who are left destitute, without food
and without home.
The women who are still working,
are having their wages cut steadily,
until they barely have anything left
to live on, Part-tiine work and
sweat shop conditions are becoming
usual in the needle trades and other
industries.
The Working Wolnen's Conference
on Jan 3oth will discuss how work
ing women can fight more effectively
against unemployment, wage cuts
and the inperialist war plot. The
mobilization of working women for
Feb. 4th Unemployment Insurance

conference. Preparations will also be

new BOMB PLOT"
DIES AT BRIT Il
Yellow Press Raises
Terror Cry

NEW YORK, Jan. 36. - In an ef-
fort to once more stir up anti-work-
ing class and anti Communist hys-
terra, throughout the country, the
New York cops and the yellow CAPT
talist press have cooked up Cor rather
"discovered'D a brand new bomb
plot" in New York City.
Under the streamer Red Bomb
Found Planted in 10th Regiment
Armory" the Evening Graphic" tells
of "contraption" that was planted"
in the armory in a red plot" A
dozen policemen rushed to the arm
DRY, says the Graphic, seized the de-
vice and dropped it into pail Of
water. Considerable excitement swept
throughout the armory, says the Wild
eyed boss press reporter.
But as is generally the case, so in
this case the whole nature of the
plot stands exposed in the Graphic's
own columns.
We quote the Graphic against the
Graphic:
The armory and other officers
of the regiment were inclined
to make light of the occurrence.
Some said that the supposed bomb
was nothing more than . hand gre
made which the guardsmen had left
in the building with instructions
that it be destroyed"
Thus died the most recent anti
Communist provocation of Mulroo-
ney's finest.

Bakery Boss Signs to
Sell Cheaper

NEW YORK, Jan. 25.-After a
mass meeting held at Ocean Park
way Hall. the Brighton Beach Bread
Strike Committee explained to the
workers present that they would nc
LONGER picket the shops, since the
bakery bosses had voluntarily re-
duced their prices. However, the
committee explained that in their
opinion the reductions OF the prices
without the bosses having signed
agreements was fake gesture 10
disrupt the unity of the workers.
Events proved the Strike Commit
tee TO be correct in their analysis.
The bosses upon learning that their
shops we're no longer to oe picketed
Immediately lacked up prices to their
old level.
The workers upon being made
aware Of the action Of the bosses
marched about 800 strong through
the streets of Brighton Beach and In
front of the bakery stores, shouting
slogans and singing "On the Picket
Line"
Thus far ~ plcksts have been ar
rested. The workers militancy and
enthusiasm has brought forth the
first rift in the United Front OF the
bosses. The Wagner Bakery at $40
Brighton Beach Ave. has signed TO

bread to 8 cents pound and rolls To

victory.

DEFENSE MEET

The New York Trade Union Unity
Council today issued a statement en-
dorsing the defense conference to be
held by the international Labor De-
tense on Sunday, Jan. 81, at the Irv-
ing Plaza Hall. The statement says
in part:
''The Time has come when every
workers organization must rally to
the support of the I. L. D. in its eff
forts to give adequate defense to
workers who are being terrorized
and prosecuted by the capitalist
class.
"The increased number Of per
.secutions in the last few weeks is.
an indication that terror Is on the
increase and that the bosses are
becoming more determined in their
efforts than before, to smash all
militant workers organizations.
There must be a greater amount OF
support to the I. l., p. in its cam
paign for the release of Tom Moo
ney from prison, that the pressure
Of the masses is increasing.
THE terror against the Kentucky
miners must be fought and the
tempo Of the campaign for the re-
lease Of the g Scottsboro boys must
be increased if their release is actu-
ally to be secured.
"The T. U. U. G. calls upon every
workers organization and every one
Of its affiliated unions TO partici-
- pate in this conference being held
on Sunday, January 31st.'

Importance Of knitting the struggles
Of dress workers and the miners to-
gether into a common offensive.
