SHOE STRIKERS
HOLD MARCH
Demonstrate Despite
Vicious Injunction

LONG ISLAND CITY, July 49,
All the strikers of the Five Star,
Miller, and Andrew Geller factories
some of seven hundred = staged a
mass demonstration in front of the
factories late yesterday afternoon
The demonstration was held despite
the injunction issued against the
workers.
The Fascist Federation was exposed
at a meeting of the Andrew Geller
strikers as a strikebreakers' organi-
cation. The two-faced role that the
Federation played in the last two
weeks was clarified to the workers
and they decided to have nothing
to do with these takers and betray-
ers.
A unanimous vote of confidence in
the Shoe and Leather Workers In
dustrial Union was taken after sew
eral of its representatives explained
the necessity of united struggle in
order to defeat the injunction and
to win the strike.
The Five Star strike is getting
stronger. No scabs have entered the
doors of the factory. About score
of workers turned up in an answer
to an ad for lasters in the New York
American placed by the bosses, but
all turned away when they learned
of the strike.
The union has obtained informa-
ton from reliable sources that
Charles Miller and Squire, the sup
erintendent of the factory, left for
Boston to get strikebreakers.
Preparations for the shop confer
ence which will be held July % are
going ahead speedily. The union is
sued a call to the shoe workers in
Brooklyn and Manhattan to elect
delegates to the conference. Plans
for mass action against the miserable
conditions which are existing in the
trade will be discussed.

(By Inprecorr CabIe.l

BERLIN, July 13.-Chancellor Won
Papen and Baron Won Gayl, German
Minister of the Interior, are visiting
President Won Hindenberg today to
consult on final decision on following
political questions, work CONSUMPTION,
state commissary for Prussia, new
bans against the Communist Party,
further retrenchments in social in
surance payment.
The compulsory work plan follows
upon the huge retrenchments in I'M
employment insurance. The plan
calls for the labor CONSUMPTION of two
hundred thousand to two hundred
and fifty thousand young German
workers. The government proposes
by this means to cut its relief ex-
penditures to two hundred million
marks, half the sum to go for ma
terial and administration, with the
result that the labor conscripts will
be paid only six to eight marks
weekly.
