CONGRESSMAN
AIDS ATTEMPT
TOBREAk STRIKE
Sirovich Helping the
Fish Bosses Against
Workers

NEW YORK, Feb 1.-The attempts
of the Fish bosses to break the fish
strike is now receiving assistance
from United States Congressman.
At the last meeting Of the Fish
Dealers Assn. of Bronx and Harlem,
Mr.. Aronson "a wholesale fish dealer,
read letter to the fish bosses from
MIR. Sirovich, written on the sta
tionery of the House of Representa-
tives.
The letter contained an introduce
ton of Mr.. Aronson by the congress-
man to the Jewish ebay" telling the
editor of the Day that MI. Aronson
Is a personal friend of Mr.. Sirovich
and any courtesy that was extended
to him by the Day would be appre-
ciated. Aronson explained that with
this letter he could get favorable
publicity for the fish bosses in the
Day.
Sirovich is very prompt in COM
ing to the assistance of the bosses
but when the unemployed workers Of
his district went to present demands
for relief from him on February list
they we're met with an array of po-
lice who barred them from coming
within block Of his home.
Mr.. Aronson, who is his friend, is
the real power behind the attempt
of the bosses to break the strike. 1t
is reported that he was the one that
hired the gang to beat up the strikers
near the court on Thursday, Jan.
28th, with the pay to the gang COM
ing from fund to which whole
salers donate as much as $500.
This combination of politicians like
Sirovich, wholesale fish bosses,
racketeers, gangster and courts are
not demoralizing the fish strikers but
on the contrary, it is making them
more determined to break through
this line up of enemies, including the
reactionary papers that carry their
lies.

its dramatic effects. The result is a
thrilling pictTe-"a moving human
film that can be understood in every

One of the charming features of

Durable Workers
Continue Fight
Against Lockout
Picket in Snow in Spite
of Police Attacks

Yesterday the strike of the Durable
workers against the lockout continued
with more inilitancy on the fourth
day of the strike than ever.
Despite the snow and bad weather,
the workers picketed throughout the
day, and several times came into COL
lision with scabs.
The boss brought down a handful
of scabs in taxicab. When the work
ers tried to approach the scabs the
boss attacked the workers with lead
pipe, injuring one. Coming to the aid
Of the boss, police arrested Joseph
George on charge Of simple assault.
Bail was set at $500. The workers
bailed him out
The police force was strongly mo-
bilized but failed to intimidate the
workers who kept up their picketing
continuously.
The boss is weakening as is shown
by his frantic but futile efforts to fill
the shop with scabs and In the YER
lures he has been making over the
telephone to individual members of
the strike committee. Work is COM
pletely paralyzed in the shop, with the
machines badly damaged because of
the inexperience of the few scabS he
has been able to get to the shop.
The workers are sticking together
and will continue the struggle. They
call upon all sympathizers to come
out on the picket line at Z o'clock in
the morning. The address Of the shop
is 245 Canal st. 1t can be reached by
the I.R.T. subway.

the respect and support of Negro and

In the face of the most virious ter
ror drive against the Communist
