PUBLISHERS Use
HOWARD AS CLUB
Call Union President
to Force Arbitration

NEW YORK.-The publishers played
their trump card at the meeting
Saturday with the officials and nego-
tiating committee of Typographical
Union No. 6 C'Big Six" of New York;
when they brought up to the fact
that International President Howard
of the union has already granted
their demand for arbitration. 1t was
exactly tn, question Of arbitration OF
wages that the membership voted
down last week by an overwhelming
majority, about 10 to one.
1t appears from the publishers
statement to the committee, that the
committee had also agreed to the
arbitration, previous to the vote. The
agreement was to continue the pres
ent contract another year, with
wages to be arbitrated by a group
composed largely of federal judges.
Along with this, the committee say
it originally intended to propose a
five day work week, but that How
ard himself proposed a six hour day
instead with reduction in the daily
pay and that the committee &C
cepted Towards proposal, submitted
the question of arbitration and of the
six hour day to the membership, and
the membership would have nothing
to do with either scheme.
The publishers now stand on the
agreement made over the heads OF
the men, demand another vote on
the question of wages arbitration
alone, and have wired Howard to
come to New York from his head.
quarters in Indianapolis, not later
than today.
Two things are clear already One
is that the membership does not
want wage cut disguised as a re-
duction in hours, nor to have wages
arbiyrated by enemies of the workers
The other thing is that the union Of
ficials have already behind the backs
Of the rank and file, made bargains
and given promises to the en-
ployerS. The membership must take
over the situation, or they will get the
wage cut.

BOSSES
ORDER HALL FOR
FOSTER LOCKED
To Speak Tonight In
City Hall Square

LAWRENCE, Mass, Aug. 7.-As a
direct result of pressure by the police
and the American Legion, the Col
onial Theatre, hired for a meeting
to be addressed last night by Will
lam e. Foster, Communist candidate
for president, was closed just before
the rally was to begin.
AS one of the reasons for barring
the meeting, the owners of the thea
tire said that they we're under the
erroneous impression that the
meeting was to be socialist meeting
and not Communist. The American
Legion is making plans to hold its
convention in this same hall on
August II.
Meeting Held
Defying the Lawrence mill owners.
the Communist Election campaign
committee organized meeting later
in the evening at Syrian Hall where
500 workers heard local speakers
denounce the action of the police.
AS soon as it became known that
the meeting in the Colonial Theatre
had been blocked, delegation was
at once formed to call upon the City
Marshall to demand that the Com
munist Party have the same right to
hold election meetings as the three
capitalist parties. At the same time
they put forward a demand for a
permit for the Foster meeting at
City Hall Square Monday night at
7 o'clock
Foster Speaks Monday
The Election Campaign Commit
tee has announced that permit or
no permit" Foster will speak at the
Square at the time stated.
The action in Lawrence is the
high point of the drive to muzzle the
Communist election campaign Pre-
viously authorities had revoked
speaking permits for all meetings
organized by the Foster-F Ford Elec-
ton Committee, which resulted in
the arrest on July % of John j
BALKAN, Communist candidate for
governor of Massachusetts and Mar
tin Russek of the National Textile
Workers Union.

considers the Communist movement
the logical place for all sincere in
dustrial unionists. He is proud to
have been member of the Com
munist Party from its beginning, and
to be continuing his life work thru
the Minority Movement (Which cor
responds in Great Britain to the Am
erican Trade Union Unity League
And he considers it only natural that
all the best elements of the Amer
lean I.W.W., under whose auspices he
spoke when in the United States in
1918, should have found there way
into the Communist Party and the
TUUL.
"It is very pleasing to me to learn
that I am not entirely forgotten in
the United States" said this old
working class warrior. 81 am parti-
cularly gratified that the best ele-
ments among the revolutionary in
dustrial unionists have swung their
support to the Communist move
ment. I am also in that position.
I have been a member of the Com
munist Party since its inception. I
am working now mainly on the in
dustrial side, because that is where
I am above all anxious to see the
actual revolution.
"In regard to the unemployed, I
am following the agitation in the
United States and am closely iden-
titled with the unemployed work

unemployed and the employed in
what is after all their common strug-
gle. Thru the Minority Movement
we are organizing those who are ac-
tually in the shops and factories not
only for the immediate struggle a
gainst wage cuts and for better con-

struggle against capitalism. I can

CLOAKMAKERS in
BR'KLYN REVOLT
AGAINST SELLOUl
Take Over
Meet; Demand Union
Protect Interests

BROOKLYN, N. Y-The resentf
ment of the cloakmakers against the
stoppage of the leaders of the In-
ternational Ladies Garment workers
Union in the cloak trade which was
carried through with the aid of the
bosses in order to put through q
wage cut establish a standard Of
production, is beginning to take q
definite form This was particularly
manifest in Brooklyn where several
hundred workers had been stopped
off and were meeting in Vienna
Hall While these workers are in
the hall the bosses have filled up
their shops with scabs and are going
ahead with their production at full
speed.
Instead of mobilizing the workers
for struggle these workers are kept
in the halls while their work is being
made by scabS.
At the meeting on Thursday the
revolt of the workers reached thd
highest point. The strikers took over
the meeting and demanded to know
what the I. L. G. w. U. was going
to stop the scabs and live up to the
promises that they made when these
workers were ordered out of the,
shops
Charlie Cottaine realizing that the
workers had gotten out of his con-
troll took the floor and in order to
please the workers stated that he
agreed with them that the leader
ship is doing nothing to protect their
interests and that he was going to
take the matter up with the strike
committee and would bring Dubinsky
the following day to tell the strikers
of the plans to stop work in Brooklyn.
But Dubinsky knowing of the wrath
of these workers did not dare to,
show his face before them.
The cloakmakers of Brooklyn just,
as the c1oakmakers of New York
cannot place their hopes in Dubinskyi
who is working hand In hand with
the bosses against them. Only byl
organizing their ranks for real
struggle will the workers stop off the
scab work and win decent living.

LEAD IN ATTENDANCE
February Record from State De-

Elementary schools of Garrett coun-
ty again led the other counties of the
State in attendance during the month
of February, with a percentage of
93.1, according to a State bulletin just

dance this term, and stood second one
month.
Two-teacher schools of the county

also held second place in their divis-
ion with 92.5.
Graded schools were fourth with
92.8, and Garrett county high schools

cred very good by members of the
