NEW YORK -Nine needle work

Yesterday in connection with the pre-

workers demonstration in the fur
market against the Recovery (Sla-
very Act, were released on bail yes
terday. Among the arrested workers
released we're Irving Potash and
Jack Schneider, union leaders who
were taken from union headquarters
yesterday by police. The amount of
bail set for the nine workers amounts
to $23,500
The tactics of the police in ar
resting those workers who have been
active in strike struggles was for the
purpose of being able to place a
high bail and force the union to bear
heavy financial expenses.

fusal of the owners to recognize the
Laundry Workers Industrial Union,
and last but not least, the arrests,
frame ups and attacks against the

places the full blame for their illu-

upon those organizations and shops
which have not as yet elected dele
gates to do so at once, if the confer

of the organized workers in and
around New York City.
Credentials of the elected dele

dealing with the many phases Of the
Recovery Act and how it effects the
workers. Communicate with the

wish I could personally do some
thing to make such struggle eff

that is the labor Of the workers

have been notified by the National

have invited me to attend. The

Unity OF All Marine Workers Is Base
ofComing Industrial Union Convention

Convention on July 16 to Is to work
out ways and means of fighting for
better conditions and wages for all
marine workers, organized or unor-
gained, white or Negro, American
or foreign born.
Roosevelt's Recovery (of the prof
its) Act calls for collective bargain
ing. The marine workers must see
that there is no collective bargain
made for them TO slave and starve
under by Furuseth, Ryan and Maher
or by Mr.. Fox and his shyster allies,
in bona fide" unity council.
There is nothing but raw deal
due the workers from Roosevelt's fas-
cist organization of industry. We
leave pipedreams of Roosevelt's fair
ness" to the non-political' IW.W
which is whining outside the doors
to be admitted to the conclave Of
Green, Woll Ryan and Roosevelt
The MWIU knows that the only way
to stop the inroads Of the bosses
backed by their government, is to Or
ganize the workers.
Inc next Dig step IN organizing the
workers, to see that the workers are
not sold out by such unity councils
or by any other ally of the shipown-
ers and boss stevedores, is the Second
National Convention of the MWIU
where rank and file delegates from
ships and docks, will gather to plan
the battles of the near future, where
all marine workers, regardless of af-
filiation, can fight against the speed
up and wage-cuts, the short gangs
and long hours that the owners OF
the marine industry are driving down
our Threats.
Forward to the MWIU Convention
The Marine Workers Industrial
Union Convention will be the conven-
ton for three watches, for full
crews. for full lockers gangs, for
lighter drafts. for the eight-hour day
and against the slave labor Of work
aWays.
Elect delegates to the MWIU con-
vcntion from every dock, from every
ship in every port Of the coasts OF

LID. DEMANDS THAT CITY
WITHDRAW JIM-CROW ACT
Sends Letters to Bolan and O'Brien Saying
Workers Will Defy Ruling Directed
Against Negro and White Unity

NEW YORK - Immediate with
drawal of the order given to the
police Of this city to stop Negro and
white workers walking together on
/ the streets is demanded of Police
Commissioner Bolan in a letter ad-
dressed to him yesterday by the New
York District International Labor
Defense. A similar letter was sent to
Mayor O'Rrien.
The l.. L. D. charges in its letters
that the order, which was carried into
action by the arrest Sunday of Cyril
Briggs, Negro editor of the Harlem
Liberator is an attempt TO prevent
the growing unity Of Negro and white
workers in their struggle against race
oppression and for the right to live.
To Mobilize Workers Against Order
Unless the order is publicly with
drawn, the I. L. D. declared in its
letters that it will not only defend
all Negro and white workers who may
be molested by your agents but will
mobilize the masses of workers and
public opinion throughout the city
to defy your endeavors Of introducinc
into the city Of New York the Jim
Grow laws Of the southern land
owners"
The complete text of the letter sent
to Police Commissioner Bolan is as
! follows
Through the evening press of
Wednesday, July 5, we are informed
that the Harlem police have re-

PAPER WORKERS
WIN PAY RAISE

Con Mich. Men, Women
get 1917 Increase for
Entire Plant

MONROE, Mich, July CAS- a
result Of short strike in one de-
partment, six hundred workers OF
the River Raisin Paper Co. received
an immediate wage increase of 10
per cent with promise of 10 per
cent more both on August / and
on September LIST. The wage in
crease affects the entire plant. The
increase was forced upon the COM
pany when rs young workers in the
corrugated department struck on
Saturday, July LIST. The strike had
been in progress only hours when
the company decided to yield.
The strike occurred in the same
town where 1900 steel workers have
Just gained an increase of 80 and q
half per cent in their wages after
a two day strike against the New
town Steel Co. Both strikes pro-
vide an inspiring example to the
workers to struggle for more pay
and better conditions.
The workers Of the River Raisi1l
Paper Co. must now take steps to
build permanent organization OF
the company's promises will remain
scraps Of paper. AS an immediate
step, workers in every department
should get together and elect their
department committees to represent
them in all grievances to be taken
up with the company. The organ
ization of a strong industrial union
Of all workers in the plant will
guarantee that the demands won
by the workers are protected.

STRIKERS PICKET

NEW YORK.-A mass picket line
of 100 Hotel Commodore workers, on
strike against intolerable conditions,
gained the sympathy and enthusiasm
Of many workers who passed by and
who applauded the strikers. The eff
feet of the picket line was so wide
spread among the bystanders that in
about half an hour, squads of police
launched an attack that broke up
the demonstration. The strikers,
4 however. were greatly encouraged by
the solidarity shown the mass picket
line.
Banners carried by the picketers
demanded reinstatement, the right

F. Of l.. unions. Joe Ryan, the rack

the shipowners, for better wages and

Why the Unity Council'
The MWIU has been calling for
unity among the marine workers, re-
CARELESS of affiliation. until unity has
become the uppermost idea in the
minds of the marine workers of Puget
Sound. Now Fox comes along and
exploits that idea, by proposing a
unity council" of the heads of the
bona fide" reactionary unions, with
an impartial chairman to cast the
deciding vote. This impartial chair
man" Is to be a lawyer--a shyster in
the employ of the shipowners.
This unity council" is to make the
collective bargains with the shipown-
ers. 1t would be a bargain. for the
shipowners, certainly.
For Unity Of Marine Workers
There is way to beat that racket.
That way is to give the shipowners

THE !. L. ID. OF New York wishes
to express its indignation against
ouch an outrageous and unscrupu-
lous order, in which you attempt TO
copy the tactics of the slave owners
and southern lynchers.
"Rcbberies" Pretext
"The flimsy pretext of preventing
robberiss under which this order
was issued will not fool the workers.
The real cause behind this act is
TO prevent the growth Of unity be-
tween the Negro and white toilers
in their struggles against the in
human conditions imposed upon
them by the American boss-class.
Because of the deepening OF the
economic crisis and the inability Of
the Roosevelt administration to re-
lieve the miseries of the masses,
the realization Of the necessity Of
united struggle of both Negro and
white workers is growing daily.
Your attempts TO check this growth
will fail and fail rniserably.

which enjoins the Associated Fur
Manufacturers from employing any
but A. F. of l.. workers and only
those members in good standing.
The injunction which the A. F. OF
L. secured few weeks ago was OBJ
tanned in collision with the manu-
facturers to force the workers to join
the A. F. of L. 1t was secured by
default since the manufacturers ex-
pressed no opposition to the move
Since the injunction was directed
against the Industrial Union, the
Union, through its attorney, de-
manded the right to be heard, to
prove that the A. F. of L. is in con-
splracy with the fur bosses and the
injunction must be set aside. At the
hearings, the A. F. of L. attorney
Markowits, and the Associated attor-
ney, Fillmore, both pleaded that the
injunction would not be detrimental
to the Associated Fur Manufacturers
The favorable decision for the In
dustrial Union will make it possible
Tor the Industrial Union to obtain
an open hearing and produce wit
llesses to prove the conspiracy.
The judges decision is a distinct
victory for the strikers, who have
forced it through their militant
struggle. TIE militant strikers are
compelling the bosses to settle de-
spite the injunction.
In answer to the heavy bail i'm
posed upon active union members,
the strikers themselves today at
strike meeting contributed $100 to-
wards the unions defense fund.
