oNEW YORK.-The Doll and Toy
Workers Union has recently gone
through a very serious struggle
against the former leaders of the

Unions funds and work side by side
with the bosses against the interest
Of the workers.

of the battle. Cardboard windows
testified to the barrage of bullets
that had been poured into the office
in an effort to stop the operator,
Shirley Korell, from warning the
union leaders who were meeting up
stairs. I asked for Shirley and eX-
pected to be told she was home, up
set by her experience. However,
they told me that the redheaded
girl at the board. wS}ey was deity
handling the board and working on
dues books, was Shirley.
Right in line with her head was
the street window and the pane had
been pocked in several places by fly

asked.
She didn't admit being in any
special danger, but the marks on the
window told the story Of another
worker who remained at her post
in time of danger
Thug Threatens Phone Girl.
She continued, when I insisted
that the workers did want to hear
some details of the fight: "A fellow
ran in with a big knife in his hand.
He told me to pull out the plugs and
kept demanding, Where is Gold?'
He slashed at the wire of the phone
right behind the board, thinking that
it was the outside wire. plugged
in as quickly as he left me and he
kept running around slashing and
cursing for about three minutes.
They continued shooting and I stood
behind the open safe door. 1t was
all over in about five minutes. The
workers had them on the run and
held five of them, forcing the police
to arrest them"
In the attack many workers played
similar parts. The gangsters and
their manufacturer bosses thought to
start a campaign of terror that would
smash the fighting union of the
needle trades. The first attack was
defeat. They will be wise to
take heed. You can't stop men
and women who are fighting for the
right to live and who know why they
are fighting. II took years to build
mass union under correct leadership
in the needle trades. Shirley Korell

sample of what forces are ready TO

The leaders of the Union were
threatened several times during the
past few weeks with being put on

of the rabbit dressers ana dyers who
was bombed and killed.
The Union is aware of the fact that
high police authorities were informed
by employers aboutthe racketeering
and gangsters prevalent in the fur
industry, but no steps have been
taken by these authorities against it.
The Union is informedthat Mon

WASHINGTON, July 10. - Ii
ems which the agricultural adj
justment administration will i'm
pose on milk distributors and
professors actually will be govern
ment permits to do business.
Determination Of the A. A. A. TO
invoke its licensing system is the
first display Of the iron hand with
in the velvet glove Of the new farm
relief law. II is the decision OF the
Roosevelt administration that re-
calcitrant minorities handling food
products in interstate commerce
will not be permitted to upset
agreements among majOrlties in
their industries.
Licensing Of milk producers would
work this way. If ~produceres, dis
tributors and professors Of milk
within a given area reach a mar
keting agreement IN which prices
to be paid producers and prices to
be charged retail customers are
fixed. and its terms are favored
by the A. A. A., governmental APP
prevail will be given.
All to Be Licensed
Then, all those who signed the
agreement, as we'll as those who
did not, will be licensed. The pro-
visions of the license will follow
the terms of the marketing agree
ment, and, generally, licensees who
decline to join the agreement will
pay the same prices to producers
as those who did sign.
The terms of the agricultural ad-
iustment act regarding licenses are
broad and definite:
In order" says the law, ito eff
f~ectuate the declared policy cor this
act), the secretary Of agriculture
shall have power to issue Ii
censes permitting professors, asso-
Citations of producers and others to
engage in the handling, in the
current Of interstate or foreign
commerce, of any agricultural COM

competing commodity or product
thereof.
Fines May Be Levied
Such licenses shall be subject to
such terms and conditions as
may be necessary to eliminate I'M
fair practices or charges that pre-
vent or tend to prevent . the
restoration of normal economic con-
ditions in the marketing of such
commodities Or products the
secretary of agriculture may sus-
pend or revoke any such license
for violation of the term and
conditions thereof
The law also provides for fines of
not more than 81 900 a day for each
day of the terms of a license are
violated.
The secretary likewise is empow-
cred to require his licensees to
make detailed reports on their
bmusiness, with special attention to
the prices paid for products
bought, and prices charged for
products sold.
