CLEANERS AND
OVERS CALLED
ON TO ORGANIZE


NEW YORK.-The victory in the
Berger Service Shops a week ago sets
an example OF what the workers in
the cleaning and dyeing trade are
able to do once organized and given
correct and honest leadership.
After a strike lasting not more
than 4S hours the workers of this
shop forced the boss to concede to
all their demands. The rest of the
workers in the trade must prepare to
follow suit. An organization COM
mittee is tctively engaged in lining
up the workers from various shops.
At meeting held last week a few
hundred workers enthusiastically &C
cepted the proposals as outlined by
the organi5ational committee. An
executive committee of IL was elected
which at once set to work out plans
for future activities.
T h e organizational committee
points out that sporadic strikes are
breaking out daily in the shops Of
workers rebelling against the condi-
tions imposed by the bosses and sup
ported by labor misleaders. The soi-
darity and unity of the workers in
these strikes are so strong that they
rise above the attempts to break the
strikes.
But these individual actions are
not backed by a strong supporting
organization, the bosses use many
tricks and the committee set up dur
ing the strike often disintegrate.
We must solidify our ranks in the
shops states the organizational COM
mittee. Unite in strong organiza-
tons of our own, which, with the
support Of the rank and file OF other
organizations in other industries, We
will defend the victories won and
fight against the bosses attacks.
Every worker in the trade must
be brought into the ranks of this or
ganization. Let lis all give hand
to the building of a powerful Or
ganization that will resist the at
tacks of the bosses. Establish shop
committees, call upon the organiza-
ton committee for advice, speak to
your friends in the trade For fur
ther information call at 5 E. 18th
St."

Bread Strike in
Brighton Served
with Injunction
Mass Meeting Wed.
Night Called by
|. L. D.

NEW YORK.-A sweeping injunc-
ton has been issued by Judge Faw-
Get in Supreme Court against the
Brighton Beach bread strike, in face
of wide protest and the petition OF
5000 consumers of Brighton pre-
scented in court. The high court
faithfully carried out the desires of
its law giver, the bosses.
The International Labor Defense
has called a mass meeting for We'd
nesday, March Is, at pm, at the
ocean Parkway Hall, 1904 Ocean
Parkway, to take up "a fight against
the injunction. Fill the hall on We'd
nesday and show the bosses that the
injunction holds no fear for the
working-class. Injunctions have been
issued before by desperate bosses and
have been smashed.
AT 4 pm. yesterday afternoon the
injunction was served on the picket
ers' line and at the same time cops
broke up the line. Mamie Shiek, a
housewife, rallied the line again and
was arrested. Mrs. Rice and E. Luf-
tig we're arrested in front of the Sea
Ian Bakery. In the patrol wagon,
Luftig was slugged.
On Saturday huge parade and
many open-air meetings had been
hel dagainst the injunction, arous-
ing tn esection to fight against the
new move of the bosses.
Twenty workers were tried in
Coney Island Court yesterday on
numerous framed-up charges. Gus
sic Ganick, a housewife, was SEN
fenced to two days. The court was
damned and the judge feared to hand
out more sentences, and, in a maneu-
yer to avoid the mass pressure, post
poned sentencing Berthal Marcus,
Anna Kaplan and Esther Baker until
Saturday. Ethel Baker was framed
by Jennete Josephs, the wife of a
Democratic politician. The balance
of the cases were postponed until
March %. Jam the court again on
Saturday. Stop the rairoading of
these militant workers.

Campaign for War Against Soviet

Moreover, Col. Yates speech was
directed beyond his audience and his
appeal to the churches through the
capitalist presto the broad masses
of Negro and white workers.
In its preparations for war, the
u. S. War Department has refused
permission for publication of Off
cial photographs depicting the
gruesome aspects of war. George
Palmer Putnam, New York pub
Usher, revealed yesterday that he
was told by Major General Irving
]. Carr, chief of the Signal Corps,
that only pictures showing the
pleasant" side of war would be
available for publication.
Major General Carr declared
that the War Department was OPP
posed to spelling the memories of
"the lovely cemeteries" seen by the
Gold Cross mothers in their trip
to the battlefields.
Col. Yates speech is part of the in
creasing systematic campaign by
which the imperialists are frantically
trying to deceive the masses and turn
them in favor of the struggle against
the Soviet Union, in favor of the only
solution capitalism knows for the
crisis in which it is gripped. the SOL
ution' of war. War against the work
ing class. War against the Soviet
Union. War against the Chinese mas
ses and the revolutionary struggles
in the colonial countries.

the governments policy has been to

the masses will turn to Communism

PREACHER FAILS IN
ATTEMPT TO HIRE
STRIKEBREAKERS
INV a Worker Correspondent

f(By a worker correspondent
OKLYN, N. Y.-PastOr
Nordborg of the Norwegian
Church, SO First Place, Brook
lyn, came into the reading room
Of the church house on March 9
and stated that he wanted six men
to go to work as watchmen to help
break the dressmakers' strike. No
one would take the job.
The preacher then said that he
did not blame the men for not
wanting to do scab work.
The hypocritieaI preacher was
eager enough to try to carry out
the dirty work of strike breaking,
but when he found out that the
workers refused he tried to white
wash himself by saying that he
did not blame the men. If the
jobs had been taken he would
have kept his mouth shut.

.gdIllSI Wdge-cQCS ana Tor union
conditions were three bosses and two
professional scabs.
The first witness to take the stand
was the manager 70 the J. Fox Fur
Co. He testified that his company
was satisfied with the company union
because the union cooperated with
company in the recent fur strike by
helping them get out an injunction
against picketing and bringing about
"Iaw and order" in the fur trade
In the cross examination of Sill
yerInan, one of the scabS on the
payroll of the J. Fox Co., it was
brought ont that he was hired three
days after the fur strike was de-
clared and that throughout the
strike he stayed on the street, pro-
voking fights, Silvermsn admit
ted that he was sent to break the
strike by the Kaufman unino.
Kessler, a fur shop owner, next
took the stand and complained that
the Needle Trades Industrial Union
had declared a strike and stopped his
shop. He said that he had an agree
ment with kaufman and that he
was satisfied with the company I'M
ion. He said he never had any
trouble with the company union.
When asked about conditions by j.
Butenkant, the attorney for the rank
and file joint board, Kessler refused
to answer. The Judge was then
forced to withdraw Kessler from the
stand when he refused to answer
questions concerning shop conditions.
Buitenkant in the meantime pointed
out that there were no union condi-
tons in the shop.
I. Calken, another fur boss support
ing kaufman, admitted on cross ex-
animation that there were no union
conditions in his shop. He said that
the workers did not get paid for over
time and that he made the furriers
work over 40 hours. Chalken COM
planned bitterly against the Needle
Trades Workers Industrial Union He
said the Industrial Union had called
the workers on strike and had tied
up his shop.
The last boss to take the stand was
one Grossman, who admitted that
there were no union conditions in his
shop despite the agreement with
kaufman. He said he was satisfied
with the Kaufman union and was
bitterly opposed to the Industrial
Union.
The hearing will be continued to-
day in the Supreme Court building

DID YOU EVER STOP

That the time for action has ar
rived. The progressive spirit must be
preserved. Citizens should be proud
of their home city and be prepared to
fight for its betterment
Pessimists and others whose propa-
ganda indicates a desire to hold back
progress for the home city should be
shown that they are out Of step.
Pessimists are prone to create dull
business conditions through their idle
talk and lack Of optimism.
Every city has set-backs once in a
while nothing serious, but things that
can be easily overcome. Whenever
these things happen the pessimists see
only the dark side and try their best
to make conditions worse.
The foundation of the success Of a
city is accomplished through the CO.
operative genius Of It's optimistic citi-
zens.
Every citizen should point to the
advantages of the home city and tell
of its enterprises and resources.
Every city should recognize oppor-
tunity and never have to look back
regretfully at things that should have
been done.
The ability to see and grasp oppor-
tunities of ten marks the difference
in the success or failure Of q city.
The business of city is far more
complex than any individual business.
Therefore, even greater consideration
should be given its plan for future
development.

Weak Acid Cleans
Copper furnishes

Due to the growing popularity of
copper cooking utensils, many requests
are being received for methods of
keeping them bright and shiny, re-
ports Mill Gladys Gallup. extension
home management specialist. WASH
ington State College. The tarnish on
copper, brass and bronze Is copper
carbonate. 1t may be removed by
friction or 1t may be dissolved In weak
acids.
Rottenstone mixed with oil to
creamy consistency is the common
FRACTIONAL agent used on these metals.
Following the application of this
cleaner until the tarnish Is removed,
the metal should be polished with a
soft dry cloth. A final rubbing with
dry rottenstone or whiting will give
the metal an even brighter luster.
Oxalic acid solution, buttermilk, or
vinegar especially when warmed,
quickly dissolves the tarnish on these
metals. All traces Of the cleaning
agent must be removed or the metal
will tarnish again very quickly. After
applying one of the above weak acids,
the metal should be washed in water,
dried, and then rubbed with dry whit
ing. This completely removes the
acid. The whiting not only takes up
moisture but gives the metal a bright
Ell polish than if just the acid alone
Is used.
Discoloration on aluminium may also
be dissolved by using vinegar or a
weak solution of oxalic acid. Often
discolorations yield to a brisk rubbing
with whiting or fine steel wool (grade
00). Although aluminium does not
tarnish easily in ordinary use, one
precaution should be used In cleaning
Aluminium should not be washed with
strong soap or securing powder con-
tanning free alkali because alkalis
quickly discolor this metal.
AS oxalic acid is poisonous, care
should be taken not to leave it within
reach of children. Precaution should
also be taken to see that it is
thoroughly removed from utensils in
which food is to be served. A thorough
washing or the use of whiting as de-
scribed previously will completely re-
move all traces Of the acid.
