STRONG PICKETS
KEEP SCABS OUT
OF DURABLE SHOP
Striker Just Out of
Jail Right On Picket
Line Again

NEW YORK, N. Y.-The boss of
the Durable Tool and Die Co., failed
to make good his boast of bringing
scabs on Saturday This is the result
of the strong picketing throughout
the week which has succeeded in
keeping the scabs out each time at
tempts we're made to bring them in.
The boss will meet with the same
resistance Monday, when it is ex-
pected he will make another attempt
to bring in scabs.
The boss was overheard complain
ing to police sergeant in front Of
the building that it is becoming in
creasingly difficult to obtain any
scabS because of the militant atti-
tude Of the pickets. He was also
heard remarking that he is in dan
ger of being forced into bankruptcy
unless he settles the strike. The work
ers are determined that this shop
shall not resume production unless
the boss agrees to recognize the
union and Shop Committee and adj
heres to the conditions that existed
in the shop previous to the lockout,
Saturday evening the workers gave
a reception to the two strikers, Jack
Scaglione and Carl Como who were
released from the penitentiary after
serving a 15-day sentence for their
militant participation in the strike.
Immediately after they came out Of
Jail they were back on the picket line,
serving as an inspiring example to
{ the strikers.
The hearing on the injunction came
up on Friday and was again post
poned till Tuesday. The strikers de-
clare that they will smash this in
junction by mass violation in line
with the policy of the Metal Work
ers Industrial League which is lead
ing this strike. workers are urged to
come down to the picket line this
morning and assist these heroic
strikers in their determined fight.

The strikers call for crowded court

Scores Of workers have already
been arrested and many of them bru-

On Friday 600 consumers OF Coney
Island and Brighton Beach filled

protest the action of Tammany AL

meeting to answer the charges of be-

of Brighton Beach" He was accused
of sending in the Red Squad to pro-

Southern Kentucky counties girded
Themselves for a battle to death
with communism today at a mass
meeting in BarbOurviIle, KY.
Christian Patriotic League was
the name given the organization,
and former Governor Elem d.
Sampson was elected president. The
Rev. NJ. T. Disney was chosen vice
president, and Professor II. T. Nelson
secretary and treasurer.
Efforts will be made to form 81
miliar? leagues in other Kentucky
counties. with the goal of death to
Communism, more respect for law
ard order"
While the weakening Of the strike
and the lack of trained forces are
preventing tn organization of mass
.rsistace to the constantly increasing
terro, virtually spontaneous resistance
on the part of individual National
Miners Union is taking place in many
sections.
In Prude, Ketucky a blodoy battle
was srrowly avoided two days ago
when members of the N. M. U. local
there told II of Sheriff Broughton's
gun thugs that they would die with
their guns in their hands rather than
adjourn their meeting. The gun
thugs learning of the whereabouts
of the meeting had come to break it
up on orders of Brougton in accord
an.e with his edict last week illegaliz-
ing the National Miners Union in
Bell County. The gun thugs retreated
before the armed defense of the
strikers and the meeting continued.
Similarly in Brush Greek the strik-
ers have organized an armed defense
firiup which is escirting Workers In
ternstional Relief food trucks into
the area despite the warning of the
gun thugs that drivers of all relief
trucks will be killed adong with their
escorts.
U. M. w. Aids Operators
The United Mine Workers are col
laborating closely with the operators
in all these measures of terrorization.
An unconfirmed but probably re-
liable report states that the anti
Communist meeting in Barbourville
last Wednesday at which the leading
speakers we're Senator Robson and
former Governor Sampson, was called
under the auspices of the u. M. w. A.
but that the U. M. w. A., fearing that
the meeting would be fiasco if it
became known that it had called It,
kept this fact secret.
A meeting which the U. M. w. A..
had called two days previously in
Pineville had been called off because
the audience consisted wholly of gun
thugs.

members forty cents for each miner

UNITED FRONT CALLS TO REJECT
SCEILESINGER WAGE-CUT SETTLEMENT
To Kaufman

In the "Women's Wear" Of Friday,
there appeared a news item which
gives additional proof of the basis Of
the kaufman company union. Ac-
cording to this item the bosses, toge-
ther with kaufman, have agreed to
institute working card system In an
effort to force the fur workers to
join the Kaufman company union.
The fur workers ridiculed this effort
of Kaufman to maintain his company
union thru this fake working card
system. The fur workers will insist
and fight for their right to belong to
the union that is leading them in the
struggle for union conditions and will
defeat this new scheme of kaufman
and the bosses.
Fur Campaign Spreads
The organization campaign in the
fur trade which was started last week
is developing in full swing. About
10 shops we're stopped off during the
past week In each instance the
workers went on strike against wage
reductions and piece work.
A striking instance was the shop
of Walks Fur Co., so w. 29th st.
The workers of this shop came down
on strike under the leadership of the
Industrial Union against 81 and IS
wage cut. The kaufman agency i'm
mediately got on the job to send scabs
to replace the striking workers When
the furriers on the market noticed
the scabs going up to the shop they
showed their solidarity with the
strikers by driving the scabs ont Of
the market. The firm was then COM
PEELED to withdraw the wage cut and
settle with the workers.
AS result of this struggle against
wage cuts, the fighting spirit of the
workers is increasing from day to
day. AS work in the fur trade in
being resumed, the drive will be ex-
tended on wider scale. Regardless
of kaufman and his injunctions, re-
CARELESS of his thugs, the furriers are
determined to go on with their strug-
gle for union conditions and drive
the kaufman company union out of
existence.

Challenge Seamen's Church Institute, U. S.

turned out after ten days to shift as
best as they can"
A similar challenge was sent to
President Joseph Ryan of the In
ternational Longshoremen's Associa-
ton, to defend his position and the
position of the A. F. of L. on the
question of Unemployment Insur-
ance and to explain the statement of
President Green of the A. F. of L.,
that "the American workers are too
proud to accept any form of federal
help"
A letter sent to the United States
Shipping Board pointed out that this
agency was also partly responsible
for the miserable conditions existing
on the waterfronts, and demanded
that they send a representative from
that body to take up the demands of
the unemployed seamen, which in
clude shipping by turn, enforcement
of the Manning scale, full pay on
laid-up barges, no discrimination
against Negro and foreign-b born sea-
men and free medical aid regardless
of how long ashore.
Following the testimony of workers
who have already enrolled as volun-
tary witnesses, the committee has
made arrangements to give the floor
to the representatives Of these three
organizations to answer the charges
and state their position on the de-
mands of the unemployed marine
workers for adequate relief and lodg-
ing.

Kaufman Loses Application For
Injunction
The application for a temporary
injunction taken out by the Kauf-
man clique, together with the I. ].
Fox, which came up before Judge
Glennon, was denied Friday. The
Industrial Union and Joint Council
supported by more than 1000 affi-
davits signed by fur workers, de-
manoed an open trial. This mass
pressure forced the capitalist judge
to grant the demand for an open
trial
The eagerness with with which the
Kaufman gang fought for this in
junction shows definitely that they
feel that every effort to subjugate
the furriers has failed and that their
only hope lies in crushing the strug-
giles of the furriers with the aid of
injunctions, frame-ups and police
persecution as evidenced by the new
frame-up against Jack Schneider.
Jack Schneider has been released
on $1,000 bail and his trial was post
poned until March 2.

HELD IN MD.

A trade war between Maryland
and District of Columbia dealers
for control of the ice business
in Charles County has opened up
with the arrest Of drivers for
two Washington firms on charges
of peddling without a license.
Bird H. Dolby, Mt. Rainier at
torney, representing one of the
arrested men, today said that he
had learned from Justice of the
Peace R. H. Lee Reich, of La
Plata, that the arrests were
made at the instance of two
Charles county ice dealers, one
operating from Waldorf and one
from La Plata.
He said that a search of the
records of the Charles County
Circuit Court revealed that no
licenses to sell ice had ever been
issued in the county. He said
that Charles county authorities
had applied to the attorney gen.
eral of Maryland for an opinion
as TO whether the licenses are
required but had received no
response,

be moved to the Volunteer Fire
Department Building, making
that structure in effect the town
hall, if the plan to be submitted
to the council at the June 20
meeting is approved.
Mayor Frederick L. Lewton has
made known his disapproVal by
arranging an office in his own
house as did former Mayor Ben
G. Davis, and plans to maintain
the clerks office in the home of
Bryan Davis successor who is as
yet unnamed.
The plan is to take over the
office of Police Justice A. L. Will
son, recently deposed on State
constitutional grounds, for a
Joint business and clerks office
The town now pays $1,000 annual
rental for the court room and

When he started his hiking
North in search of job, Chris

thought heavy underwear would
be the thing to wear in such
frigid regions.
After sleeping last night be-
side the railroad tracks in Po-
tomac Park, Chris started walk
ing out fashionable Sixteenth
Street for Baltimore today. 1t
got hotter and hotter and a
clump of bushes a Sixteenth and
Webster Street Northwest gave
him an inspiration.
AS he was getting rid Of tn"
''heavies." police of the Tenth
precinct were being delugeo MlCh
| telephone calls from indignant
residents nearby, One woman
said;
There's a man on the corner
without any clothes on. Such
things should not be allowed"
A police scout car, a patrol
wagon and a large crowd were
soon around the clump of bushes.
Chris was taken to the precinct
and probably will be sent to
Gallinger Hospital. He said he
was glad to be arrested as he
was very hungry.

"TentatiUe
= GLEASON

CHICAGO. June 10 4.N:So
The prohibition plank drafted
by fifteen Senators in Wash
ington recently was described
as purely tentative" by Post
master General Walter F.
Brown here today.
Brown said that since Con-
gress would probably be in ses-
sion during the convention and
many Senators would be un-
able to come to Chicago, it
was only natural that James r.
Garfield. chairman of the Reso-
lutions Committee. should con-
suit with them regarding their
attitude.
The plank which they drafted,
therefore. according to Brown,
was only a tentative express
sion of their stand on the
question.

sketch to familiarize better the
public with this. phase of the
traffic regulations. He quotes
from section IA:
"AIl vehicles must park with
in six inches of the curb when
there is space available, and if
no space is available, within a
reasonable distance. A passen.
ger vehicle may stop parallel
and as near as practicable to

Evening star., 1932-08-28

The adventurous spirit Of youth often sends
boys into caves which slope downward into q
dead end where poison gas Is likely to settle.
They will enter underground pipes and go In
search of adventure which too often ends in
tragedy. Abandoned mines, with their dark
and mysterious interiors, offer a lure that at
times cannot be resisted
Like many an adventurer, these unwarned
youngsters walk unsuspectingly into the arms
of death. When the first dizziness Of nausea
attacks them and they turn to seek safety, It
is often too late and they fall dying before
they can reach the open air.
That is why the Bureau If Mines has laid
so much stress on the boarding up Of aban-
doned mine shafts, the testing of air in sewers,
the warnings to parents to discourage their
children from too much exploring In caves and
other underground places.
