Upholstery Strike
Gets Aid Of JobIess
In Mass PiCketing
Stone Blue Eagle Sign,
Force Cops To Free
Arrested Strikers

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Dec. a.
Four thousand people responded to
the call of the striking upholsterers,
now in their tenth week of strike,
for mass meeting and mass picket
ing demonstration last Thursday.
The strike which is under the lead
ership of the A. r. of L., involves
mainly Levine Bros, the Grau-Curtis
Co., and the Brooks Parlor Furniture
Co., the largest shops Of their kind in
shis city.
The sentiment of the rank and
tile forced the leaders to permit this
call for a united front with the I'M
employed and for mass pieketing.
The response was beyond all ex-
pectations.
The Unemployed Council, which
had helped to mobilize hundreds of
workers to this demonstration, asked
the chairman for the floor to bring
the greetings of the Unemployed
Council and pledge their support, but
was refused. After several demagogic
speeches, the parade followed.
Stop at Factory
The workers displayed very much
militancy. After patading past the
first two shops without stopping, they
came to the third shop, the Brooks
NParlor. Here the workers, in spite
] of the attempt of the A. F.. of L. lead
ers to march past, insisted on stop
ping for mass picket demonstra-
ton in front of the shop. The police
began to use their teargas and clubs.
Two young workers we're arrested.
But the indignation of Che crowd
forced the release of these workers.
Stone Blue Eagle
The windows of the company,
which carriesa big Bite Eagle, were
stoned by the workers. The A. F.
of L. leaders told the workers not to
try to release the two who were ar
rested, but to march away. This the
workers refused, and stood by until
the two were released.
In spite of the terror, which has
already resulted in one striker, John
Jerenlko, being shot and is in q crit
ical condition, the strike continues
strong.
The A. r. of L. leaders, among
them Deanaer, the upholsterers Or
ganizer from New York, are frantic
in their efforts to keep control of
4 the strike, which threatens to get out
'Tof their hands.
Demagogy is spread thicker than
ever before. AT the mass meeting,
q resolution was adopted which en-
dorsed all of the unemployed demands
for which the Unemployed Council
has been carrying on struggle, in
Guiding the workers Unemployment
Insurance Bill.
Rank and File Committee
To insure the success OF the strike
L is becoming more and more clear
10 the workers, that they must elect
their own broad rank and file COM
inittees to lead the strike and to ne
gotiate, and that they must organize
more mass picketfng of the inem-
ployed together with the strikers. This
becomes more clear now that Mayor
} cambridge hes announced his request
I; to the Federal government to ask the
. NR.A. Labor Board to intervene.

On Saturday, Oct. 7, Anna Mae
LarOse, a white girl living with her
mother and step-father, a man
named Darvie, in Labadieyiiie, La,
left home, When she did not re-
turn that night or Sunday night,
a search was instituted.
Just after dark, . deputy sheriff
drove down the road, stopped his
car at certain point, entered the
sugar-eane field, and Immediately
found the girls body. She had been
stabbed.
Immediately, Freddie Moore, a
Negro boy, who lived close to the
girls home, was arrested, and
charged with numbering her. Word
was sent out to adjoining counties,
and even as far as New Orleans,
that there would be lynching.
Wednesday night, in Labadieviile.
Though it was known that there
would be a lynching, Sheriff Hem
ieI, of Napoleenville, conveniently
left town Thursday night. The
TAILOR, an old man of go, named
Landry, readily turned Moore over
to the lynchers when they asked
for him.
Moore was tortured, beaten, cas-
trated, and hung TO the bridge IN
the town Of Labadieyille. That same
night, the gangsters, led by Deputy
sheriff Ferdinand Richard, went TO
the house where Norman Thibod-
eaux, l9-year-old Negro boy, was
staying with his grandmother, on
a plantation, brought him to the
bridge, beat and tortured him, and
hung him also. How he escaped is
told by himself in the story below.

to New York City, where he has
now arrived. The full, dramatic
story of the lynching of Thibodeaux
and of his escape is here told for
the first time.

DIMoND MEASURES UP TO PROMISE.

Delegate-Elect Dimond's brief talk to the Cham Der of Commerce yesterday was impressive for two things-the stark sincerity of the promise to work in harmony and in spirit with Alaskans and the very real seeking to know just what are the needs and wants of the community. It showed that he has a wider knowledge of the Territory generally as result of his extended tour over it, a tour Whlch he is making at his own expense and not on mileage allowance from the Federal Government.
 An ordinary mine politician elected to office by such an overwhelming popular majority as that given MT Dmond at the polls last November would never have considered making the trip He would have felt it not only unnecessary but also beyond all reason because of the personal cost in volved In making it in the manner he has, in going directly back to the people to get acquainted wlth them and their problems before going to the Ma tional capital, he has again demonstrated that he is of the highest type of public servant, and has measured up to the claims made for him by those who supported his candidacy for his partys nom ination last Spring and worked for his election in the Fall campaign
 Delegate Elect Dimond faces difficult task. His two wears of office in Washington as Alaskas rep resentative will be more trying than were the wartime years While the country was, in 1917-18 bending all it's efforts toward winning the war it was prosperous Its labor was employed at high wages in industries boomed by the demands of our  own and the allied countries. Today, millions Of men and women suffer because they can got no work Congress faces complexity of problems that will brook no further delay in solving. There is demand for Government appropriations to relieve unemployment distress and equally insistent de- mand for curtailed expenditures for the sake of balancing the National budget The time of the 73rd Congress is going to be largely occupied with national problems that it will have little left to
 
 to accomplish anything of benefit for the Terri tory Delegate Dimond will require undivided support at home. The hard-pressed Congress will certainly refuse to spend its hours listening to domestic squab bling over controversial matters. Probably MT. Di- mond realizes this fully. In making his extended of the Territory before assuming office, he has taken the safest means of obtaining widespread sup port and avoiding purely domestic friction, most of which usually arises from political sources He deserves and is entitled to local support regardless of partisan politics. and we hope that it is given to him freely and generously.

FIREMEN'S ANNUAL BALL.

On February Il, the Volunteer Fire Department of Juneau will give it's customary annual dance This organization needs words of praise in this community. During the 35 years of its existence, through the various stages of its development from bucket brigade to the present uptodate motorized unit, it has deservedly held high reputation for efficiency in fighting fires No better proof of its effectiveness can be offered than the noteworthy fact that the community has never had single confIagration since it came into being. And it is unique in that respect Probably no town, similarly located ever passed through so long period in its history without one more general fires of great destructveness

 people industrious as ants could not build a Parthenon. The edfice crowning the Acropolis at Athens has been the envy of architects for than two thousand years. It is monument to leisure-and the art and culture that constructive leisure brings. Nothing approaching it in pure beau ty has been given the world by industrious races that have since risen and fallen, working like bees and speeding up the process of living to point where the most utitarian accomplishments were reckoned of value.
 What has America given the world in original art, music outstanding culture? We have been so busy making living, working long hours, coming obstacles and striving for place in the ness America has contributed much to the worlds advancement probably more than any other nation but practicability has been goal We naturally would rather live in comfortable homes and enjoy the fruits of the greatest inventive genius the world has known, than to gaze at a Parthenon of white marble, as did the Athenians in the age of Pericles.
 Will the future bring us leisure that will mean American contributions to art, music and literature that will live throughout all time?
 There is apparently no fundamental why our people should not contribute to the aesthetic in life. One might call attention to the fact that now is a peculiar time to talk about aesthetics since we badly ensnarled with the practical problems of living but out of it will more leisure and that leisure may be blessing if able to it and profit thereby.

 The annual dance is financed by public subscrip- tions The proceeds do not benefit personally any member of the Department. They are incorporated into it's funds and used in all kinds of city betterment, financing the Fremens part in support of the Boy Scout movement playgrounds, etc. For this and other equally sound and valid reasons public response to the call this year should be on the same generous plane that has characterized former years and undoubtedly it will be for Juneau is proud of it's Volunteer Bremen and their great record.
