FIGHT GROWS ON
ARMORY THEFT
Workers Urged to Aid
In Harlem Picketing

The fight is growing to get back the
wages stolen from the Negro and
white workers at the 69th Regiment
Arinory at 143d st. between Lenox
and Seventh AYES. Workers of all
mass organizations, especially men,
bers Of the Unemployed Councils, the
Workers EX-servicemen's League, and
the revolutionary trade unions are
urged to report at the Workers Cen

leaflets and take part in picketing in
the struggle against the theftS in
which Tammany Hall and American
Federation officials and the contrac-
They enthusiastically appluded him
Workers employed in construction
at the Goth Regiment Armory were
forced to turn back $3.50 of their pay
every day, which was divided UP by
A. F. of L. and Tammany officials
and the contractor. When some work.
erS protested, the union delegate re-
ported them to the contractor, who
fired them.
A hearing was held last Saturday
by Prial, Comptroller Berrys assist
ant, which was obviously intended to
whitewash the officials. The hearing
will be continued next Saturday.
Meanwhile picketing is going on ev-
cry day at the armory, and noon hour
meetings are being held every day at

are urged to join and also to wire pro-
tests to Comptroller Berry against the
