Resist Efforts to
Break Conn. Dyers
and Cleaners Strike
MIRA, AFL Take Hand
But Workers Expose
Both of Them

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Sept. ID.
The cleaners and dyers general
strike here, now in it's fifth day,
is sticking strong with all the ranks
of the workers solid. The bosses of
the industry have followed all the
well-known tricks in this strike.
The A. F. of L. labor takers were
called in first to try to take over
the strike, but the strikers stuck to
their independent union and refused
any assistance from the A. F. of l..
Then the bosses tried to raise the
"red" scare in the strike and
through the local press attempted
to spread the idea that the workers
would use violence" to close the
shops.
Then Miss Anna Weinstock, of
the National Labor Board of the
MIRA, appeared on the scene at the
request of the bosses and the A.
F. of L., and was completely un-
masked by Gene Schwartz, organ
izer of the union.
Finally on Wednesday, every
cleaning and dyeing shop in the
city was closed and the bosses called
the strike committee in to confer
with Egan, chief sell-out artist OF
the A. F. of L. in this state. The
chairman of the strike committee
himself an A. F. of L. committee
member, condemned the A. F. OF
L. to Egan's face, refused any offer
of 'help" from the A. F. of L. and
condemned Charlie Lennon, first
chairman of the strike who was
bought off by the bosses and was
present at the conference.
The statement in the Daily Work
er Wednesday that the strike was
being conducted in cooperation
with the T.U.U.L. was erroneous.
The union of the cleaners and dyers
is an independent union.

200 Auto Workers
Strike in PhilIy:
Auto Union Grows
Demand Is PC. Pay
Rise, End of Bonus,
Piece Work

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Sept. IA.
About 200 workers working in
the largest automobile shops in
Philadelphia, who have been organ
lied in the Auto Workers Union
during the last six weeks, went on
strike Wednesday demanding a 25
per cent increase in wages, time
and a half for overtime, elimina-
ton of all piece work and bonuses,
and all other pay schemes.
A great many of these workers
are former members of the A. r..
of L. unions and they are mostly
skilled mechanics, such as, carpen-
ters, painters, blacksmiths, etc. The
bosses in the automobile body in
dustTy have been working these
skilled men, demanding from them
superior craftsmanship, at wages as
low as $12 and $14 per week.
Six weeks ago they called their
first meeting and several of the
workers from the shops asked the
T.U.U.L. to send them a speaker
and some one to help them organize,
as they could see through the hypo-
crisy of the A. F. of L. in its pres
ent harvesting for dollars sake

ers show an excellent militant spir-

demands. While they are not ask

According to Harry L. Hopkins,
federal relief administrator, who
made the report, there has been an
increase of per cent in the cost OF
relief. Reasons for the increase are
due mainly to the rise in prices of
food products, rise in price of cloth
ing for children returning to school,
and claim that the bookkeeping
system has caused charges for July
and September bills to be recorded for
August.
During the month of August there
were i,39o,655 families on federal,
state and local relief, while in the
previous month there were 1882, 1859.
The cost for relief in the same period
dropped from 30,716;046 to $28,984,-
567.
The speech of President Roosevelt
last week before the Conference on
Mobilization for Human Needs was
a clear indication that steps will be
taken to curtail relief After admit
ting that Eve are going to have I'M
employment throughout the United
States the president shirks respon-
sibility and throws the whole prob
lem of relief for the unemployed to
individual citizens" and to private
organizations"
Miners Starving
While newspapers carry screaming
headlines of the N.R.A. putting an
end to starvation, Roosevelt told the
conference of social workers that
miners have been starving for many
weeks. There are cases In some OF
the coal mining sections of this cOun-
try where families have been starving
week in and week out over a long
period of time" the White House chief
said.
Starting with forced labor camps,
the administration is pursuing def
mite policy to eliminate cash relief
and place the unemployed on food
basket rations. 1t is with this inten-
ton that Harry Hopkins announces
a plan whereby the federal relief ad-
ministration will buy the sows which
are to be slaughtered in the emer-
gency hog reduction campaign. 1t will
use them for relief distribution. The
project includes the buying of some
S3O.oOO,0OO of dairy products for the
same purpose The money for this
to be raised by a processing tax on
these products to be paid by the con-
sumers. In this way workers will have
to paw a federal tax in addition to
existing state taxes on food products
The unemployed also will have their
independence completely taken away
and they will have to depend on food
baskets for existence.
Not only is the Roosevelt admins
tration forgetting completely its pre-
election promise of unemployment

discard cash relief. This makes 1t

appeared with the witness that
the assistant district attorney was
still angry over an attorney ac-
companyina Shahian. The bull
doing tactics which the Harris
Island warden had started when
Shahian had first appeared, had
been stopped by Kuntz's protest.
Yesterday Kuntz requested that
his associate, Abraham D-anow,
be permitted in the room as asso-
ciate attorney. Price refused.
Judging by the way all prison
officials are present when Sha-
hian is being interrogated," Kuntz
replied, ait may be necessary to
have affidavits as to what is go

essary to take the matter to the
Governor"
"One attorney is sufficient"
Price returned sharply. Dranow
was kept out.

sat on a chair near the district
attorneys desk, said: "That's the

"Say," returned Marin, "sure

three teeth out?" Marin asked,
while prison officials grinned in
approval.

Shahian returned.
"Sure you did," the supposed
prisoner insisted. "Why, you slept
in the cot next to me in the Eighth
Division"
"The official records will show
that ] never slept in the Eighth

Plot Fails
When this effort to discredit
Shahians credibility failed, the dis
trict attorney excused Shahian and
his attorney. The others, including
the supposed prisoner were per-
mitted to remain where they were.
When Kuntz and Shahian were
recalled after half hours wait,

was sitting in the chair vacated by
the supposed prisoner.

asked, pointing to the guard

After exposing the sweatshop con-
ditions in the very hotel in which the
A. F. Of L. was meeting, justified by
the NRA, Hirschfleld said:
IF we accept the NRA we are CIV
ing up our birthright for mess OF

ganized labor for the promise of
politicians we can't trust.
Unemployment insurance Is the
only remedy. The NRA is political
hokum and they are using propa-

the old minimum wages become the
new minimum wages. They are too
low to suit me-"
Hirschfield was expressing growing
rank file sentiment when he attacked
the NRA.

"Why bring all those people
here" Kuntz interrupted. "Why
doesn't the district attorney pro-
duce this mans partner for identi-
fication? This farce has gone on
long enough. We came here in
good faith to offer evidence to the
authorities of a murder this man
saw committed on Welfare Island.
We were and are ready to cooperate

for two days you have been exam
lining this witness who came to you

been cross-examining him, trying to
discredit his story. You have per-
mitted others not connected with
your office to cross-examine this
witness. And during all that time
you have not asked a single ques-
ton about the murder this witness
saww
Prices face flushed at the ac-
cusations and he half rose in his
chair.
''NO Investigation"
From the first moment we en-
tered here you have tried to put
the witness on the defensive"
Kuntz continued angrily. "You have
made no investigation into the
Matthews murder. You are simply
trying to discredit the witness. And
unless you do examine him about
what he saw we intend to 60 before
the Governor and force a full and
impartial investigation of this foul
murder even if the Governor has
to supersede the district attorney
in this matterW
Prices face was brick red. "I'll
conduct this investigation in my
own way" he returned.
Since his statement had been re-
corded for future use Kuntz of
fered no objection when Price re-
sumed questioning Shahian.
"At the time you say you were
assaulted, didn't you tell this guard,
Hickey, that a prisoner had struck
your" he demanded.
'T told him that his partner had
struck me-" Shahian returned. '"The
only thing this guard ssid to me
was to ask if l wanted to go to a
hospital"

interrupted again. "If you are
really DESTROYS Of carrying on an
investigation into the assault upon
Shahian and the killing Of Mat
thews, why do you not produce all
the guards whose names and ad-
dresses appear upon the official
books as having been on duty at

saults? Then this witness can iden-
tify those you are looking for.
"I'll Notify You"

saw or who were not involved in
the crimesw
Price jumped up furiously from
his chair.
