Court Outlaws All
Strike Activity Of
Industrial Union
Dec ision Denounced
by TUUC as Second
Danbury Case

NEW York; sweeping inJunc~
ton aaginst the Shoe and Leather
Worker Industrial Union, was granted
yesterday by Justice Emery Wenzl in
the Brooklyn Supreme Court, to
twelve shoe companies whose en-
0loyes are on strike. The Injunction
is aimed aagiust all strike activity OF
The union. The affidavit filed by the
manufacturers charges the union with
the crime of striking" and that the
union "picketed the plaintiffs plants.
The injunction was sought also on
the grounds that the shoe union is
not affiliated in any way with the
American Federation of Labor and
that its principle purpose is the
overthrow of the government OF the
United States" The companies claim
that lin so far as possible, they have
compiled with the blanket code" and
therefore the injunction against the
right to strike activities should be
granted.
The injunction is to be effective
until the trial takes place. No date
has been set for the trial.
This injunction is new parallel
to the noted Danbury hat case, where
the employers sued and collected
heavy damages from a union and its
membership, and constitutes one Of
the latest attempts of the shoe
manufacturers to destroy the militant
Shoe Workers Industrial Union,
which has been able, in the last few
months, to lead many successful
strikes against the employers and
win wage increases and better condi-
tions for over 5000 workers. Each
of the - firms demands $4,000 or
100000 in all from the union.
This sweeping injunction consti-
tutes a challenge to the entire labor
movement in New York city and
should arouse a tremendous mass
protest not alone by the unions af-
filiated to the Trade Union Unity
Council and by the independent
unions" declared Andrew Oyergaard,
Secretary. THE T.UU.C. is calling
upon all its affiliated organizations to
Immediately protest this action and
support the Shoe Workers Union in
this struggle"
The TU.UC. telegrsphed to the
Shoe Workers Amalgamation Con-
yention in Boston appealing to the
shoe workers in New England and
elsewhere. to raise a mighty protest
against this new attempt of des-
troying the militant trade unions.

At the Convention are also supporters
Of Nolan and Mahan, leadership Of

They are saying little at the conven-
ton, but are modifying all antt-amal-
gamation forced to fight it.
Then there is q group OF Love
stonite renegades, led by Zimmerman
and Bixby, elements who throughout
the preliminary period Of preparation
of the convention, have played their
game of alliance with Officials, while
pretending support of the rank and
file movement. They are leaders IN
disruptive activities against the in
dustrial union and are backed by the
Jewish Forward" and j. Beorak,
Socialist attorney here in close ALI
ance with the A. F. of L. officialdom.
Their aim is an independent union to
hand over to the A. F. of L.
The outcome of the convention rests
on the action of the militant rank
and file. AS one rank and filler put it,
I'VE should be here not only to form
one union, but to make the conven-
ton means of preparing for the
coming battles of the shoe workers"

UY BRUCE CATION

THE JUDAS TREE" by Neil
l. Swanson, is a romantic adj
venture novel of the old school, and
if you like that sort of thing at all,
you'll find it a rouSing good story,
full of enough excitement and suS-
penSe to stock a dozen ordinary
novels.
1t deals with the early days of
Pittsburgh; the days when FIT. Pitt
was besieged by Indians, during the
Pontiac uprising, for more than
two months, to be saved at the last
minute of the eleventh hour by the
arrival of a detachment of British
regulars led by the famous Black
Watch, who came tramping over the
hills with their bagpipes skirling.
In it, there's a young Marylander
who, by virtue of one of those
strokes of chance peculiar to roman
tic adventure novels, has come to FIT.
Pitt to seek his fortune as trader.
There's also the customary high
born lady disguised as a servant girl,
the titled villain, the needless mis-
understanding and the final recon-
ciliation-all according to formula.
What makes the book unusual is
the zest with which it was writ
ten. 1t sounds as if Mr.. Swanson
had thoroughly enjoyed his job.
The natural result, of course, is
that this enjoyment is communi-
Gated to the reader. The Judas
Tree" in short, is everything that
a storyof this kind ought to be, and
I can't think of a reason why it
shouldn't be enoroumsly popular
Published by Putnam, it retails

TINE Capitols or the Tonnes
Il scans, the Pouges or the Nc
Cormicks, the WashingtCnians or
the Illini, the Corbaleys, Hardings
or the Morrows- which ere you?
Just to mention Capitol avenue
brings up the feud among those
who always have held that its
name should be as printed rudely
in the original plat-Tennessee-
and those who believe in It's mod
ern appellation.
You can get an argument out OF
that as easily with old-timers as
you can as to whether John Nc
Cormick or George Pogue was the
first settler Of indianapolis,
whether Abe Lincoln spoke on the
Washington or the Illinois street
side of the old Bates house, and
whether it was the Corbaley
youngster, Harding child, or Nor
row babe that let out the first
whimper in indianapolis.
Historians-word- f-mouth and
printed kind-bear all sides in
argument.
If some day you should see sew
eral Capitol avenue motorists bat
ting it out hammer and tongs,
it may be great grandchildren Of
pioneers who raced quarter horses
and sulkies along the same street
years before and argued the
merits of the streets name.
Cars and trucks race Capitol
avenue now.
Motorcar firms have moved out
residences. Bucktown, the old
Negro sector of the city along In
diana avenue, has moved north
ward on the street and taken the
finer homes.
DUT Capitol avenue remains
- Tennessee in the hearts of
some who, in the days Of the
underground railway, would not
have mustered up bowl of Cruel
to aid the Union.
Some way, some how, the street
kept its southern tinge through
the Civil war until 1894, when
hate for MiSsissippi"-later Sen
ate avenue-resulted in a Negro
councilman obtaining the change
of the name of both streets to
their present cognomenS.
Bound up in Capitol avenues
life is the statehouse.
1t saw Lincolns body lie in
state on it's grounds.
News came on April Is, 1865, of
Lincoln'S assassination.
1T was the most exciting day
Indianapolis ever had known. The
town dropped in mourning garb,
business was suspended and even
the sun refused to shine" says
Dunn's history of the city.
Then, on gloomy Sunday,
Lincolns body was brought for a
final review on the Statehouse
lawn before going home to Spring
field, Ill. For eighteen hours city
residents filed past his casket.
Funerals were events then, as
now, and the townboy of those
days who still lives and did not
hold tight to his fathers hand in
passing by Lincoln's caSket checks
mental black mark against his
parents for their negligence.

1t seems that the Republicans
charged the Democrats with
gerrymandering the city on the
eve of election and organized
committee OF safety to protest
against alleged frauds.
Negroes from the Fourth ward
organized, 100 strong, and went
down into the vale of alley bou-
quets and clubs in the Sixth ward
to clean out the Democratic Irish.
On South Illinois street the
battlers pitched camp. Sons of
Erin answered the call. 1t was
free-for-all. The Fourth ward
retreated. Guns spoke. Brick
bats crowned heads. In enemy
