90 Tool and Die
Workers Strike
At Lockout

NEW YORK. - Desperate at his
failure to break the militant strike
of the 80 workers of his shop against
the lockout the boss of the Durable
Tool and Die Shop at 254 Canal St.,
is now resorting to an injunction in
new strike breaking move.
Wednesday morning member of
the strike committee was served with
a temporary restraint prohibiting
picketing and ordering the entire
strike committee and other strikers
to appear in court Thursday morn
ing on hearing for an injunction.
The workers are determined to win
this strike, injunction or no injunc-
ton, and with the help of the Metal
Workers Industrial League which is
leading the struggle, they will orga-
nize mass picketing In defiance OF
this injunction.
This injunction is one of the most
vicious and drastic one every perpe-
trated by the bosses in order to break
strike. Not only is 1t aimed at the
workers in the shop and the strike
committee, but also against the Metal
Workers Industrial League. The
Trade Union Unity League and the
Trade Union Unity Council and any
other organization and membership
thereof who will support the strike
morally and otherwise.
The boss made an attempt to bring
in scabs Tuesday morning, most Of
whom when approached by the work
ers with an appeal not to scab, did
not go up to the shop, or went up
and came down Immediately. A dozen
of these would-be scabs were sent by
J. L. Unterweiser, a plumber of 1871
Lexington Avenue and friend of the
boss. One of them turned over to the
pickets the business card Of this
plumber with note to the boss that
the bearer thereof was willing tc
scab.
All workers must consider it their
duty to help smash the injunction
by picketing in front of the shop and
by giving financial aid and other relief
in support of THIS strike.

L.S.N.R. Endorses
Dressmakers Strike

NEW YORK. - The League of
struggle for Negro Rights, New
York District, endorses the present
strike called by the United Front
Committee of the Needle Trades
Industrial Union.
We support the struggle being
carried on by the union through
the United Front Rank and File
Committee for the unity Of Negro
and white workers, and against the
discrimination against Negro
workers in the industry. The re-
cent mass trial conducted by the
union against white chauvinism is
a stimulus for the complete elirni-
nation Of bosses theology Of race
prejudice in the ranks of the
workers.
The I. L. G. w, the company
union, is feyerishly attempting to
spread race hatred among the
workers and is thereby playing the
game of the bosses in beating down
the resistance Of the workers by
stirring up race and national pref
udice.

gro Rights pledges active support

strike on the picket line, and in

tories.
Forty tenants from the house at
2o45 Gates Avenue and Is tenants
from the house at 1876 E. 182nd st.
both in the Bronx, won 50 rent re-
auctions. Committees from each
house went to their respective land
lords with their demands and were
Immediately granted them, the land
lord remembered the militant rent
strike battles that have already taken
place in this same section, with the
workers unflinching even before police
attacks.
Workers stopped an eviction of an
unemployed worker and his family
from a house on Gates Avenue near
17Sth St., Bronx. The furniture was
already on the street when the work
ers modified by the Mid-Bronx I'M
employed Branch held such a mill
tant demonstration in front of the
house that the landlord personally
came down, and asked the workers
to bring back the furniture. Fifteen
workers Immediately joined to form

NEW YORK.-On Monday, Febru-
airy is, 8 p. m. a mass protest meeting
against the Hoover-Doak plan to in
tensify the persecution and deporta-
ton of the foreign-b born will be held

dahl, all members of the delegation
which leaves for a hearing to Wash
ington. D. c., in regard to the anti
foreign-born bills which will be taken
up by the immigration committee on
Tuesday, Feb. 10th.
The Immigration Committee Of the
United States Congress is preparing
the atmosphere for the passage of the
anti-foreign- born bills. Should these
bills be passed, foreign-born workers
will lose their right to strike and to
struggle against discrimination, wage
cuts, hunger and starvation.
All workers, native and foreign
born, Negro and white, are called to
support the struggle against these
reactionary anti-foreign- born bills.
The delegation which is being sent
to Washington by the Committee fol-
Protectiof of the Foreipn-Born and
the I. L. D. will state before congress
the determined resistance of the ma
tive and foreign-born to fight against
further persecution and deportation
of the foreign-born.
Workers Of unions, shops and fra
terna1 organizations are called to at
tend this very important meeting
and in this way to express solidarity
with the foreign-born and to endorse
this delegation.

dressmakers, Saturday and Sunday
Feb. Is and Feb. IA.
The statement reads in part a
follows:
Fellow Workers! Hoover, con-
gress and the senate gave two
billion dollars Of the workers
money to the railroad owners and
the bankers and refused to give
one cent to the starving uneni-
ployed.
Green and Vol approve this
hunger policy of the Hoover Wall
Street government. They, too, OPP
pose genuine unemployment in
surance. The workers, therefore,
will have to fight for unemploy-
ment insurance, strike against
wage-cuts, and finance their own
struggles.
This is exactly what the dress
makers, led by their rank and file
strike committee, and the Ken
lucky miners, led by the National
Miners Union, are doing. The full
solidarity of the working class with
these workers is an immediate
necessity in the smashing attack
of the workers against the Hoover
Wall Street hunger campaign.
eve call upon the workers Of
New York to actively participate in
the tag day, gather funds and to
contribute as much as they can
for the strike relief activities of the
Workers International Relief. Sup
port the tag day with all your
might and energy! Forward TO a
victory for the miners and dress
makers and a smashing defeat to
the Greens and VOLS and all other
enemies of the working class!"

NEW HOPES spur
MOTOR INDUSTRY
Slow Upturn Due to Start
This Fall, Leading Ex-
ecutives Agree.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
DETROIT, September Although
the basis for it is at the moment more
or less intangible, general feeling
is apparent in the automobile industry
that the improved conditions which
are now not very far distant.
The more cheerful attitude is being
manifest in the face of declining new
car registrations and sharp curtail-
ment OF production. Both these fac
tors however, are seasonal at this time
of year and consequently have been dis
missed entirely from the calculations of
sales directors and other executives OF
the industry.
Many OF the leading producing COM
panies Of fsthe industry have had their
sales, managers on the road, making
personal contacts with dealers through
out the country. With few exceptions
back word Of an improving mental
attitude" on the part Of both dealers
and potential. motor car buyers.
Gradual Turn Foreseen.
Most OF the, sales executives agree
that a gradual loosening up of knotted
purses-strings will come this Fall and
that early 1888 in the motor car in
dustry will be noteworthy as the period
marking definite upturn in produc
tion and retail demand.
Interesting statement bearing on the
much -talked-ab stored-up demand
for new cars is the estimate of one
leading statistician in the industry that
on the basis of present production
5000 more cars are being junked than
are built each day.
While adverse conditions of the last
20 months have forced many dealers out
of business there has been a general
building up of retail organizations by
the companies doing the greatest volume
business in the low and middle price
divisions. Even in normal times there
is certain amount of dealer mortal
ity." due tosvarying circumstances.
The collection of statistics concerning
production, new and used car sales and
the percentage of deferred payment
transactions goes on unabated in the
motor car industry, as matter of rou-
tine, but most of the manufacturing
heads are displaying less interest In
them than ever. The experiences Of the
last two years in the industry has con-
vinced executives that precedent can no
longer be depended upon for an
appraisal Of future prospects.
Looking to Future.
The thought that sales executives and
heads of large merchandising outlets are
trying to promote among their SUBJ
ordinates and others coming in contact
with potential purchasers is that 'the
success of the industry lies entirely in
the future" and the discouraging sta
tistics of the last two years have no
bearing whatever on the possibilities of
the immediate future
Because there has been no let-up in
engineering and manufacturing devel-
opments, producers generally feel that
their plants are in better shap to re-
spond to any upturn that may come
than many other industries.
