Sharp Protest to
Police Chief

LYNN, Mass, Aug. 30.-Thomas
Torigian, Daily Worker seller
here, was brutally beaten in q
police wagon today.
Torigian was selling the papers
in the streets of this big shoe
manufacturing center when po-
liceman ordered him to move on
When he refused, the cop attacked
and arrested him.
Torigian's case comes up in court
tomorrow. The charges against
him are "assaulting an oocer" and
refusing to move after he had been
ordered to do so. The international
Labor Defense is in charge of his
case.
NEW YORK, Aug. 30-A sharp
protest against the attack on
Thomas Torigian and his failing
was made in a telegram sent to the
Chief of Police of Lynn by the
Daily Worker today.
The telegram, signed by G. A.
Hathaway, editor of the Daily
Worker, reads:
'Daily Worker protests unwar-
ranted arrest and attack on Thom-
as Torigian, authorized Daily Wor-
ker representative in Lynn. We de.
mand he be freed Immediately and
permitted to carry on his legiti-
mate activity without interference
We also demand the prosecution OF
the police oocer who brutally as

NRA Orders Cops to
Raid Strike Office
OfFurnitureUnion
Try Terror in Effort
to Drive Strikers
Back to Work

NEW YORK-Under instructions
from the MIRA headquarters, five
detectives and one uniformed cop
today raided the headquarters Of the
Furniture Workers Industrial Union,
which is leading strike of 1,00C
frame workers, upholstery and mat
tress, box spring and bedding workers
for higher wages and improved con-
ditions.
"This is our meeting from now on,
said one of the detectives, as he
slammed the door shut at 818 Broad
way, and refused to let anyone leave.
A few minutes later, Mr.. Intner,
owner of the Intner Mattress Co.,
walked into the office and joined the
cops.
The Jewish Socialist newspaper
THE Forward" has bsen advertising
for scabs to fill the places of the
furniture workers out on strike in
the Progressive Table Co.
The raiding MIRA cops, under the
pretext of searching for weapons, ran
sacked the office. Intner told the cops
that the union had pulled out his men
on strike and was holding them pris-
oner in the union office, against their
will.
Before Intner came, Jack Rand
one of the organizers called the union
men to order in a meeting, and ex-
planned to them that this raid was
an attempt to terrorize the men back
to work.
The cops ordered the strikers of the
Intner Mattress Co. into a separate
room and did not allow anyone in
including leaders of the strike.
Union officials called up lawyer
Krauthamer, who represents the Fur
niture Workers Industrial Union, and
when he came to the office and de-
manded to talk to the Intner workers
he was thrown out by the detectives
Finally the detectives were forced
to admit that his workers came out
on strike of their own will, and were
continuing to strike for higher wages
and better conditions.
Jerry White, young worker, how
ever, was arrested on the framed up
charge Of having dangerous weap-
ons." 1--WE will also charge him with
doing something in the Bronx" said
one Of the detectives.
At the time the Daily Worker went
to press, the detectives returned and
are still searching the office.
With the help of the NRA officials,
the bosses have been using every
means to break the strike. They got
an injunction out in the Progressive
Table Co. against the union stating
that Mr.. Peissr, organizer. of the
union is a notorious Communist, .
and that SCHOLAR, worker who was
fired, the cause of precipitating the
strike, as IAN agent Of Moscow, work.

Huey's explanations.
"a member of the House of
Morgan sneaked up on me with a
blackjack. The doc took two stitch

lies hired by the Interests, knitted

1t has been suggested that one
of the fashionables resented Huey's
drinking manners, raised plucked
eyebrow then did as much to the
senatorial facade with a vigorous
twister to the mush.
Our own news story seized the
| benefit of the doubt and implied
that a Negro musician whom he
had insulted in the course of the
evening retaliated with punch.
IT'S not a really engrossing mys-
1 terry. Much more fascinating has
been the character of the tidal wave
of publicity which followed.
The controversy has inspired
some of the wittiest and most de-
vastating writing American jour-
nalism has seen in many year.
After absorbing this, his eighth
straight shellackingI Huey was
dragged over the Goals by vindic-
lively sardonic set of reporters who
bounced upon the rare opportunity
of writing without shackles about a
man in Longs position. The ridicu-
lous little Hitler-Billy Sunday Will
liam Jennings Bryan man has be-
come temporary safety valve for
the healthier instincts and resent
ment of the boys you see swarming
around in newsreels, hanging anx-
iously on the words of some stiff
collared horses rump.
Huey is backed by strictly local
interests and the boys were given
all the latitude they wanted. TheS
cut loose with vengeance. The
Kingfish is done for as a potential
dictator. The Luna Park people
have already offered him contract
to exhibit himself as freak in a

laments the pupils mishap. Metro

of special stories to the incident.

The Daily Worker guessed right.

fall back upon is the truly prophet

interviewed earlier in the day by a
reporter Of the Amsterdam News.
He instructed his secretary to say
'there are two things concerning
which he does not comment-pro
hibition and the Negro. Both are
loaded with dynamite"
In the evening he got lit and
touched off stick of it.

the veritable civil war preparations
of the coal operators.
One woman who was viciously
beaten on the picket lines is near
death. Four hundred miners are
still in Jail, held ON $4,000 bonds
each. The Spring Canyon district
where the strike, is on looks like a
battlefield. The three truckloads of
ammunition, machine guns, bayo-
nets and rifles sent in on the order
of Governor Blood, have been dis
tributed. Machine guns have been
set up at the mine pits. All roads
are patrolled by armed gunner, in
an effort to keep the pickets from
congregating.
Paul Crouch, strike leader, and
his wife are being held incommuDi-
cado. Special posses are hunting
for Charles Guynn, an official of
the NMU, and strike leader. All are
in the greatest danger of their
lives
Fearing that the miners will be
able to resist the attacks of the
gunner, Governor Blood is now
preparing to send the National
Guard into the field to bolster UP
the strikebreakers.
With union headquarters raided
and smashed, the strike leaders in
jail, the miners have issued a STIR
ring appeal to workers throughout
the country to help them in their
fight. Funds for defense and strike
relief are needed immediately.
Because of the reign of terror here
it is urged that all funds be sent
Immediately to G. Kaplan, Interna-
tional Labor Defense, Room 200,
1915 Larimer St., Denver, Col. The
Denver office of the LID. is in
touch with the strikers and will
transmit the money to them.
Must Protest
Unless there is an immediate ma
tional protest the danger Of mas
sacre increases. Protest resolutions
should be sent Immediately TO Gov
ernor Blood of Utah, at Salt Lake
City; to President Roosevelt in
Hyde Park, N. Y, demanding the
armed attack against the strikers
stop Immediately; that the miners
be given the right to strike and
picket.
Unless there is an immediate
rush of kilograms, many miners
face death in the armed attacks.
The NMU has been growing rap
idly in the Utah and New Mexico
coal Fields. After winning several
strikes, under the NMU leadership
more miners flocked to its ranks
The operators, advised by the
UMWA officials broke their agree
ment. A new series of strikes broke
out. The strike spread from mine
to mine, until it appeared certain
that general strike would grip the
Utah coal fields.
Then the terror began. Not hav.
ing enough gunner in the Spring
Canyon valley, hurried calls were
set to Salt Lake, Utah, for new re-
cruits.
In spite Of all provocation, and
the imminence of massacre at
tack, the miners are holding their
ranks firm, determined to win their
strike and build the NMU which
has won improved conditions for
them.
