mouthpiece of the coal operators in
Harlan and Bell counties. 1t was he
who led the mob of gun thugs when
they drove the writer's out of the

attorney, after Taub's face had been
beaten into bloody mass by an au-

you make us another speech on con-

Evans then returned to PineYille

these events, according to the writers

ROAD TO LIFE" NOW IN
FOURTH WEEK AT CAMEO

Road to Life" the first Russian
talkie, which has been breaking eve.
record at the Cameo Theatre, now
continues into its fourth week, sur
passing both the gross receipts and
the number of attendance checked up
by the Russian silent motion pictures.
So successful has been the adoption
of super-imposed English titles on
this Russian talkie, that the manage
ment announces that hereafter all
foreign language films shown at the
Cameo will follow this method of pre-
sentation.
All fear that Russian talkies would
not be as successful as their silent
predecessors has been allayed by the
tremendous success of Road to Life
and the Cameo now announces that
several outstanding Russian pictures
including CLOSE Ranks" Golden
Mountains, Soil Is Thirsty" land
THE House Of the Dead" will be pre-
sented on its screen this season.
Road to Life" is the drama of
the homeless waits of Russia and
their transformation into socially use
full citizens. T. Kyrla, who plays Mus
tapha, and Nikolai Bataloff, who
plays the leader of the experiment
to save the wild children, give I'M
usual performances in this film. Mi
chael Gold, author of Jews Without
Money, prepared the English titles.

The parade ended at Cooper Union
where a most enthusiastic meeting
was held. Stamper, member of the
International, was chairman. Gross
man and Rosenberg, members of the
International, explained the charac-
ter of the fake strike. The call to go
to the shop strike committees was
hailed with intense enthusiasm.
A large number Of rank and file
workers from the I. L. c. U. partici-
pated in the discussion. They told of
the hardships of the dress shops i'm
posed upon them by the bosses
through the assistance of the Inter
national officials. They exposed the
fake strikes of 1929 and 1880, which
were directly responsible for the ter
rible conditions in the trade. They
called for a consolidation of a strong
united front to smash the fake unions
and win better conditions in the
dress trade.
Ben Gold, secretary Of the United
Front Strike Committee, took the
floor in the discussion. Following a
scathing expose of the sell-out policy
of the I. L. G. w. u, Gold called
strengthening of the united front for
joint action.

the dressmakers I'D help to unite
all the strikers under one rank
and file leadership, elected by the
strikers, to carry on the struggle
for improvement of our conditions.
eve know from experiences of
the 1929 strike of the clOakmakers
which was called and organized
with the consent and assistance Of
the bosses, as well as the strike of
1890 in the dress trade. These were
not strikes in the interests of the
workers, but on the contrary
brought about the present miser-
able conditions in the dress trade.
eve see that the present strike
of the International has been or
ganized in the same manner. With
the assistance of the bosses, the Of
ficiaIs of the International will
soon announce that the strike Is
settled in City Hall just as the
strike in 1880 and ii will bring even
more miserable conditions for the
dressmakers.
1--WE condemn such a strike. In
order to defeat the fake settlement
and to improve the conditions of
the workers we pledge to begin to
elect shop and block committees
and take the leadership into our
own hands"
The meeting then proceeded tc

and call the workers to rally to the
united front.
Gains scored during the last few
days by the United Front Strike
Committee were extended through
out the Metropolitan area yesterday
The number of striking shops are
growing hourly. More applications
for settlements are coming into the
strike settlement headquarters.
The strike settlement committee
reports that 81 settlements have al
ready been made.
The disintegration of the Schles-
niger fake walkout was manifested ir
the shameful lies of the capitalist
press, which in the last three days
has tried its utmost to belle and dis
count the activities of the United
Front Committee. This form of OBJ
struction was fully expected by the
striking dreSsmakers and it has only
added fresh impetus to the deter
mined and stubborn march TOWARD
victory.

WIN RENT STRIKE
in BROWNSVILLE

NEW YORK.-In the last few
weeks the Brownsville Unemployed
Council has conducted a number of
successful rent strikes.
On the block of Hinsdale st. be-
tween Livonia mad Riverdale AYES
80 houses with 279 tenants have won
reductions in rent of rs cents to 81
per room, no evictions and recogni-
ton Of the block committee. After
a struggle which lasted three weeks
the last two stubborn landlords were
forced to come to the committee and
give the same conditions that were in
the rest of the block, in addition to
paying SIS for expenses Of the strike.
During the strike many demon
strations we're staged before the
landlords homes and stores, numer-
Gus open air meetings we're held on
the block and daily picketing was
carried on by the tenants.
This block is one of the many in
the Brownsville and East New York
where rent strikes are being con-
Quoted. At SO Riverdale Ave. the
landlord got an injunction against
picketing and the tenants we're or
dered by the court to get out within
"a hours. In spite of the injunction
the strike remained solid and the
landlord had to call the committee
for settlement.
At 5ls and o26 Pennsylvania Ave.
the landlord is trying to break the
strike by the use of the injunction.
In 521 Powell st. the Socialist Ten
ants League tried to get control of
the strike and to get $1.3O from each
tenant, but the tenants were not
fooled by the fine phrases of Gitlin,
the manager of THE Tenants League,
and are continuing the strike with
the Unemployed Council.
The Brownsville Unemployed Coun-
Gil is now located at 646 Stone Ave.
and calls upon all workers to come
and help in the fight against injunc-
tons.

TRY Sc BREAD
STRIKERS IN
TW @ DAY s
w or k e T Sind Out
About a Liberal
Magistrate"


NEW YORK.-Unable to break the
Brighton strike through the use of
open violence Of Tammany police
and thugs, the capitalist court tried
their hand at it, using much subtler
methods, however.
On Monday so workers were to be
tried on charges of unlawful picket
ing by Magistrate Sabitini in the
Coney Island court, Sabitini at this
time approached the workers with
honeyed words of a liberal. He said
in a dripping voice that he under
stood the conditions of the workers
and went so far as to make a gesture
Of reproaching the bosses for keep
ing up prices when everything is
cheaper. Then he made a PROPOSE
ton. If the workers should settle
the strike at 10 cents for two pounds
of bread he would dismiss the cases.
The demands of the workers are five
cents. Since they only buy one pound
at time the kind judge would have
them pay seven cents. There can be
pre-arranged with the bosses.
The workers were not fooled. They
no doubt that the magistrate had this
understand the capitalist court is no
workers friend. They were in court
to test whether they had right to
peaceful picketing they told the judge
and demanded immediate trial. Fur
thermore they told him, they would
not settle without the consent of all
the workers in the strike.
Thereupon Sabatini dropped his
liberal mask. He refused to give the
workers an immediate trial and post
poned proceeding until Feb. %.
Today, So more workers were tried
on the same charges. There was no
semblance of the judges "nberality"
of yesterday. The judge came out in
his true colors, without liberal dec
orations, as a serYi1e servant of the
bosses. He sentence four workers to
jail. Anna Kaplan, a housewife and
a mother of two children, five days
and Dora Sancoff, also with children
at home, the same sentence. N.
Shiek, one day for distributing leaf
lets. Gilbert Fain was held under
$1,000 bail for special sessions court
on the frame-up charge of assault.
Ida Fine. a leading striker, is facing
the same frame-up charge. The
bosses hope by failing the leading
strikers, the bread strike will be
smashed.
Sabitini, in fear of mass pressure
and resentment, is resorting to a sly
strategy in sentencing the workers,
which isn't fooling anyone. He SEN
fences them two or three at a time,
postponing the other cases for var
ious dates, fearing the consequences
if he dared to sentence So or so work
ers at time.
The strike has become even more
political with the use by the bosses
of government officials. News has
leaked out that Alderman Ryan has
personally asked the police captains
to put more pressure on the strikers
and called on the Radical Squad"
to assist.
The workers know, however, that
these acts of the bosses and their
servants are acts of desperation and
fear. The strike continues as strong
as ever. I'VE will fight until we win"
say the militant workers of Brigh-
ton. I'VE want bread prices re-
duced and we aim to get it." Such
spirit deserves support of all work
ers. Join the picket line.
