That the strike will spread further

In all the towns there is seething
unrest, and the anger of the farmers
and The townspeople against the
gun-thug tactics of the state troop
ers is rising higher. City consumers
are in sympathy with the strikers
because they know the price of milk
to them has been boosted higher,
while the farmers do not get even
the cost of production. They are
beginning to understand that the
Milk Control Board set up by Leh-
man is only for the benefit of the
Borden's, the Sheffield's and the
rest of the units of the dairy trust.

UnOrganized Printers
Meet Tonight on Code

NEW YORK.-A mass meeting of
printers will hear code demands pre-
sented for unorganized printers to-
night at Irving Plaza Hall, 18th st.
and Irving Place, at pm.
On Friday, July 81, the A. F. of L.
called mass meeting of organized
and unorganized printers. At this
meeting they wanted the signatures
of the unorganized printers, in order
to be able to represent them in
Washington. Only under protest by
a group of unorganized printers did
one unorganized printer get the
floor. He asked the A. F. of L. off,
Gals whether this means that the un-
organized will be given the rights
as union men and get the union
scale and union conditions and be
admitted into the union. The A. F.
OF L. officials plainly stated that 1t
does not make them organized. it
only gives the officials the right to
represent them. Such representation
without any intention of organizing
and fighting for a union scale and
union shop conditions means in plain
words wage cut for the unorgan-
lied as well as the organized printers.
The unorganized printers are not
waiting for the A. F. Of L. officials
to misrepresent them, they are or
ganizing. Last Thursday meeting
of about so unorganized printers was
held. At this meeting a committee
was elected for the organization Of
the unorganized printers. This COM
nlittee will draw up demands for the
unorganized printers. to be presented
at tonights meeting.

Metal Union Heads
Ignore Members Vote
on Dues of JObless

NEW YORK-T'he officials of Lo-
cal % of the Sheet Metal Workers
International Association refused
yesterday to carry through the mem
bers' decisions of last Monday night
to take $1,000 from the locals funds
and pay the dues Of the unemployed.
Only last year the same officials,
before they were elected, promised
the membership to do everything the
majority of members would tell them
to do. However, they forgot all that
this year. They have turned out to
be as good I. A. men as the old cor
rupt administration.
Their refusal to make good the
dues cards Of the unemployed will
result in the suspension of 400 to
500 unemployed.
In yesterdays report of the meet
ing, at which Maddox, president of
Local %, read the letter from the
International officials announcing no
dues were to be paid for unemployed,
it was stated that Maddox refused
to allow the letter to be read" This

1000 STRIKERS
STONE NRA SIGN
ON SILK FACTORY
Show H tire d For
Slave Program of
Pres. Roosevelt

PHILADELPHIA, August 2.-Over
1000 strikers and strike sympathizerS
yesterday showed their hatred for
the Roosevelt slavery program by
stoning the mill of the Cambria
Silk Hosiery Company, when Louis
Alexander Weber, one of the owners
posted the Roosevelt blue eagle sign
of the NRA on the windows of the
mill.
A fusilade of stones greeted the
bosses act in showing the workers
that the Roosevelt blanket code was
the answer to the workers demand
for higher wages and better condi-
tionS.
The whole neighborhood took part
in the fight against the bosses. All
of the windows in the plant were
shattered by stones and bricks
hurled by the enraged workers when
they saw the blue eagle go up on
the mill.
This was the answer of the Cam
bria Silk Hosiery Company to Roose-
velt's appeals for mo aggression
patience and cooperation. os
Police tried to drive the strikers
away so scabs could come in and out
of the MILL But the workers re-
sisted. Several strikers we're injured
and IS were arrested
Later in the day when CT strike
breakers started home on trucks the
machines were stoned.
Workers in tn e neighborhood
signed a petition of protest against
the police who drove them from the
doors into their homes when the
workers were attacking the MIRA
gesture of the bosses.
The mill owners car was stoned
when it left the plant.
The strikers have been out two
weeks, and refused to accept the
slave code proposed by the bosses
in accordance with Roosevelt's plan.
More than $4,000 hosiery workers
are now on strike in the state.
The workers be came especially
militant when the bosses began hir-
ing strikebreakers and posted the
MIRA eagle ON the factory door.

Code Layoffs

TAMPA, Fla, Aug. "A mass
meeting of 5000 cigar makers Of
Tampa at Labor Temple was last
night attacked by a mob of 100
drunken police thugs.
The meeting had been called by
the local independent union of the
cigar industry of Tampa for the pur-
pose of determining what action
should be taken in regard to the
Roosevelt voluntary" code, which
is being forced upon the cigar work
ers this week.
The Roosevelt code" has this
effect in Tampa. All workers who
cannot make the minimum of $14
per week under the existing piece
rate scale are fired. In PREPARATION for
putting the "code" into effect, over
1000 cigar workers were fired within
the last few days.
When the workers at last nights
meeting laid plans to take strike
action to demand the 1929 scale Of
wages, the attack of the 100 drunken
police thugs followed.
The Tampa cigar makers, who
already have over 5000 of their ranks
organized, will not be intimidated by
police hirelings of the cigar manu-
facturers. They are strengthening
their organization and at the same
time have sent a delegation of cigar
workers to Washington, where they
will call the hand of Roosevelt, john
son and Perkins, and demand that
they actually secure the right to or
ganization.

the steel helmeted troopers and
stopped the passage of milk trucks.
Eight farmers were beaten uncons-
cious by the uniformed thugs acting
under orders of Governor Lehman
to break the strike which demands
that the farmers receive 40 per cent
of the retail price of milk.
Government Issues Lying Statement
Supplementing the violence of the
state troopers the propaganda bureau
of the Lehman administration is
flooding the news columns of the
capitalists press with lying reports
that only a few thousand of the
states 10000 dairy farmers are en-
gagged in struggle.
In spite of yesterdays attack at
Bonneville there are no trucks de-
livering milk there today. The trucks
carrying milk from rich farmers are
all heavily guarded by state troop
ers, but still they do not pass.
Word comes from Fonda that
Montgomery county farmers have
joined the strike and have dumped
several trucks of milk, thereby wit
holding milk from the city of ANS
terdam. In Herkimer county more
than 80 per cent of the farmers are
engaged in the strike and all ship
ments are stopped.

NEGLECT CAUSES
MANY DEATHS in
CITY HOSPITALS
Speed Up and Gu t

Game of Tammany

NEW YORK, August I'm spite
of efforts to cover up the horrible
conditions existing in City Hospitals
enough evidence has come out at
the hearings now being conducted
before Deputy Commissioner of Hos

impoverished workers are treated
worse than dogs in such institutions.

The situation is so bad, with SO
many deaths resulting from the ter
rife speed up in the hospitals, the
overworking of internes and nurses,
that an investigation" had to be
staged. But instead of blaming the
Tamnany-c controlled directors, the
Tammany bunch are trying to place
the whole responsibility on the in
ternes, nurses and ambulance doc
tors, who have to work under orders
of political appointees who owe their
jobs to Tammany.
Hearst Sheets Aid Tammany
Pursuing their wel-known labor
batting policy, the publications of
William Randolph He arst have
joined the Tammany pack in trying
to shift the blame from the hos
pital administration to the workers
who are victims of Tammany ruth
lessnesS.
so terrific is the speed-up with
which cases have to be handled that
detailed examination of patients is
impossible, the result being TIL a t
many deaths occur because of wrong
diagnosis. The latest case was that
of boy, Harold Feingold, is years
old, who died of blood poisoning in
the Hospital for Joint Diseases after
his case had been put down as a

William Markowitz, SO years of
age, died Tuesday from stomach
ulcers. Doctors from the Jamaica
Hospital had visited him Thursday
night and, acting upon instructions
to avoid filling up the hospitals"
did not take him to the hospital
until Saturday.
Everything is being done to cover
up the fact that hospital forces
are being cut down and that neglect
of the suffering poor is deliberate
part of Tammany policy.
