COPS BEAT UP
STRIK Frs AT
DURABLE SHOP
Picketing On Despite
Injucntion

NEW K-Intensifying their
terror against the metal workers
striking against a lockout at the Dur
able Tool and Die Co, the police on
Monday brutally attacked group of
pickets slugging two workers into in
sensibility. One of them they later
arrested on the fake charge of dis
orderly conduct. The arrested worker
is George Chaikin, active member of
the Metal Workers League. He was
later released on $25 bail furnished
by the International Labor Defense.
The strike committee has issued a
leaflet to those working in the metal
shops in the vicinity of Canal st.
where the shop is located, calling
upon them to rally in support Of the
strike and pointing cut that the lock-
out of the Durable workers is part
Of the scheme of the bosses In the
metal industry to smash any attempt
on the part of the workers to organ

their unbearable conditions. Many
workers around that neighborhood
have expressed keen interest in the
strike, and have promised to try and
take up collections in their shops for
relief of the strikers.
Yes-"rdqv evening the boss at
tempted to hand copies of a So-called
injpunction to the workers which is
supposed to prohibit them from pick
citing. The workers threw the docu-
ment away without looking at it.
The trial Of the worker arrested on
Monday is coming up in City Magis-
trate's Court, Tombs building, on
Thursday.

new RENT STRIKE
IN THE B R @ N X

NEW YORK.-Forty tenants Of the
apartment house at 733-739 Arno Az,
the Bronx, went on strike yesterday
for reduction of rent. The majority
of the tenants have signed the strike
demands and have given their pledge
to the house committee to carry on
the strike to victory.
The striking tenants have put for
ward the following demands
l. Is per cent reduction in rent.
2. Clearing the house of mice.
3. Cleaning the hot water system
SO that the flow of dirty water will
stop.
The landlord has informed the ten
ants that he cannot afford to concede
to the demand for reduction in rent;
he has, however, been able to find
sufficient funds to pay stool pigeon
whom he keeps in the basement to
spy on the tenants and the house
committee.
The tenants committee has issued
a statement denouncing the viciousu
lying Of the capitalist press in hand
ling stories of the rent strikes that
have been taking place throughout
the city. The Daily Worker and
Freiheit, says the committee, are the
only papers carrying correct reports
of and giving leadership to the strik-
ing tenants.
There is no doubt in the minds of
the strikers that they will carry the
strike on to final victory. The strike
has the support and leadership of the
Upper Bronx Unemployed Council.

In addition there were delegates
from the local rank and file opposi-
ton groups and delegates elected at
miners mass meetings.
VIII Fight for Demands.
The conference was the most en-
thusiastic ever held, taking place
after the sell-out at the Indianap-
oils convention, and adopted real
practical program and demands for
further development Of the rank
and file movement in which the
cenraI points were struggle against
wage cuts, work for all miners and
immediate cash relief and for I'M
employment insurance from the
county and state governments.

police to chase out the workers and
thus did his share in the conspiracy
directed by the company union.
On the other hand. the United
Front Strike Committee was well pre-
pared to meet the intrigues of the
bosses and the international. Under
its guidance, thousands of strikers
bearing banners with various slogans
carried out one of the most stirring
demonstrations recorded in the an
na's Of New York labor history.
Thousands Demonstrate
The strikers assembled in front Of
Strike Committee headquarters at $50
Sixth Avenue and proceeded to the
garment center. They reached their
destination in time to meet the work
ers called out by the International.
And the workers of the International,
who had been tense and expectant,
suddenly gave way to their pent-up
feelings. They cheered the thousands
under the leadership of the United
Front Strike Committee; they served
notice that they understood the tao
tics of the Schlesinger bund, and in
great numbers joined the militant
strikers in the demonstration. Of
ficials of the international, who wit
messed the spectacle, were vexed,
dumbfounded and helpless. This was
a development they had not fully an
ticipated.
Drive Off Thugs
With their ranks swelled. the strik-
ing dressmakers marched along 7th
Ave to seth St., then to Broadway
and up the thoroughfare. At 18th ST.,
a number of professional gorillas at
tempted a surprise attack. They sur
rounded two workers and assaulted
them. At this point, however, the
thugs were foiled. The strikers an
swered the challenge. They fell upon
the gorillaS and drove them into
Macys department store.
Throngs lining the streets cheered
and encouraged the enthusiastic strik-
ers in the face Of Tammany's uni
formed hirelings, who glared at the
naarchers and prevented many mem
bers Of the International from join
ing in the procession.
More Shops Strike
But despite the efforts of the police
70 block the workers entrance into
the united front, a large number Of
International members joined the
demonstration A number of the In
ternational shops came to the United
Front headquarters. Many more
shops joined the strike yesterday.
100 Bosses Plead for Settlement
Other principal developments yes
terday in the strike against sweat
shop conditions included meeting
Of the Central Strike Committee to
consider the questions involving set
Elements. About 100 shop bosses have
applied for settlements and their APP
