wages and other demands for about
a mouth, voted at a mass meeting
yesterday not to accept an offer
made by the company which failed
to satisfy their demands. The strike
continues to cripple production in the
plant.
The vote indicates the militant
spirit of the workers, who are con-

treacherous maneuverS of the leaders
of the strike committee, who are I'M

The influence of the Auto Work

are being united in the fight against
wage-cuts and for unemployment re-

Carpenters Local PITT, at its meet
ing Monday night passed a motion to
send kilograms to Assemblyman
Marcy and to j. Sullivan, president
of the State Federation of Labor,
protesting their callous attack on the

Carpenters Local 2717 has also
adopted a resolution.
One Of the outstanding sections Of

sharp protest against the action of
the leaders of the Socialist Party for
calling separate conference"

Party, and to all the workers in New

resolution states,
Just few days after the united
front preliminary conference call for
labor legislation initiated by the A.
F. of L. Committee was issued, the
leaders Of the Socialist Party issued
a call for a separate conference of

days before the Albany Conference

:<me is too limited even for Discus

down to New York City only"
The resolution ends up with the
provision instructing a delegate from
the local to convey the protest to the

O'BRIEN HELPS
AGENCY SHARKS
Sixth Ave. Committee
Denied Meeting Right

NEW YORK.-The first attempts
of Mayor O'Brien to carry out his
pronouncement before taking office
that he will proceed severely against
Communists has begun with measures
TO crush the Sixth Avenue Grievance
Committee. The police have denied
the Committee the right to hold
meetings and have arrested mem
her distributing leaflets exposing the
swindling job sharks.
The successful activities of the
Committee in compelling the racke-
teering job agencies to return swim
died fees has become bitter eXper-
fence for the agencies. Without much
resistance they almost always return
the fee gained through nlisrepresen-
tation or other crooked methods, to
the worker when he appears with
members of the committee. Yester-
day, three workers had their fees re-
turned with the assistance of the
committee. In one day, about three
weeks ago, - workers had their fees
returned with the assistance of the
committee.
Two weeks ago, at the instigation
of Tammany judge, Guido Orlando
movie director and Broadway playboy
tried to bride Jack Wilkes in order
to undermine the organization. Wilkes
refused the money which was in the
form of roll of bills among which
he saw 500 and $50 notes. However,
Wilkes learned the source of the
money and the purpose of its intend
ed use. Three workers protested Mon
day night to the police captain in
the precinct against the prohibition
Of open air meetings, and he did not
bat an eye.
Upon learning that the Hanover
Employment Agency, 1247 Sixth Ave.
had miSrepresented a SIS week job
as counterman in the East End Hotel,
18th st. and East River, for which
he paid 81, Charles Stanberg, asked
for a refund. The agency well-knoW-
ing its illegal business refused. When
the worker returned with a committee
from the Fighting Sixth" the agency
also refused. Thereupon, a picket line
was established and in two hours time
the job shark returned the money
William Block, who was sent by
the Belmont Employment Agency
1907 Sixth Ave to work for a private
family found that the conditions of
his job we're different from that told
him, he demanded return of his fee.
The agency refused, but the Fight
ing Sixth" got it back.
After working 20 hours, George
Morhel, returned to the Academy
Employment Agency, 1851 Sixth Ave,
and asked for the return of his fee
of S. paid for $12 a week job The
agency which had also misrepresent-
ed the job, refused. A committee from
the Fighting Sixth" compelled the
return of $4.85 allowing the agency
to keep Is cents, the legal rate to be
deducted from the wages received.
The prevention of street meetings
will seriously hamper the work of the
Committee in exposing the job sharks.
From the above and previous rec
ords workers can realize the impor-
lance of their work. The Sixth Ave
nue. Grievance Committee appeals to
all militant workers to help them in
smashing all restrictions of the sWind-
ling job agencies and their police
agents and come to the headquar-

UNITED FRONT IN
jig SAW STRIKE
Boss Resorts to Trick
and Terrorism

NEW YORK.-Twenty-five work
ers are out on strike at the Jig Saw
Puzzle Company at 343 East 165th
St. and have been picketing since
last Tuesday. They are protesting
against unsanitary conditions, and
against a thirty-dve per cent wage
cut which the boss tried to deceive
them into believing was a temporary
one. The workers, however, were not
to be fooled, and gathering under a
united front Of YCL. members, Y.P.
Sis, and democrats, they began
their battle against exploitation.
Meeting With Night Workers
One of their first moves was to
go to the shop with sympathizers on
last Tuesday night, and invite the
night shift to meeting where strik-
ers' demands could be discussed and
plans fen united action made. The
night sniff workers expressed their
agreement and drew up demands,
signed by each worker. Upon pres
enting these to the boss the next
day, however, such pressure was
brought to bear on them, that in
stead of joining the strikers they
went back to work. 1t is possible
that if these not yet completely rad
icalized workers had been attended
by a strike committee, they would
not have been intimidated as they
were.
Night Meeting Leaders Arrested
Following this episode, the boss,
enraged by even this abortiye at
tempt to undermine his profits, in
vited the strikers to present their de-
mands, which it proved afterwards,
he was not in the least interested
in looking at. Enforced by three
radio police cars and numbers of
cops outside the place, he started to
accuse the strikers of various mis-
demeanors, seemingly trying to pin
them down to some guilty action
At last he openly admitted the
motive behind his invitation and ar
rested the leaders in the meeting
with the night shift. Lester, Nathan
and Herbs, on the charge of dis
orderly conduct.
To Protest Scab Supply
After the arrest, committee Of
the remaining strikers went to the
Institution for Crippled and Dis
abled at First Ave. and 23rd St,
from which organization strike
breakers were being sent to the shop.
Here Miss OdencranZ and Miss Bow
man refused to discontinue sending
these strike breakers and the COM
mittee decided to hold demonstra-
lions protesting this action in front
of the agency.
Case Continually Adjourned
The same cops who have been pro-
tecting the scabs during this strike,
in their walk to work in the morning
and back to the subway at night, are
trying to wear down the patience and
the energy of the three militant
strikers by adjourning their case
again and again. At one hearing,
held on Thursday at 5, which was
originally scheduled for 10 a. M,
workers, inundated by the boss,
found themselves growing more and
more contradictory in their evidence.
until the case was again dismissed
and adjourned.
The workers are being defended by
j. Buitenkant, of the LID. and the
socialist lawyers Sol. Marcus and
Belskin.
