SAN FRANCISCO, July 6.
Troops have arrived at the
docks. Machine guns have
been set up. The reign of ter.
ror has increased all along the
waterfront.
Col. MitteIstaedt, in com
mand of the troops, threatened
soldiers with a general court-mar-
tial if they failed to shoot to kill.
But the workers of San Francisco
have intimated that they are not
going to take it lying down. The
strike still continues All signs

Strikers Refuse to Arbitrate

trate before the troops were called
refused to arbitrate under the guns
of the National Guard.
Leaders of the San Francisco
Labor Council were doing everything
in their power to halt the general
strike. Time and time again John
O'Connell, secretary of the Council
has stated his opposition to any
strike movement in support of the
marine workers.
There will be a meeting of the
Council tonight and the question OF
the general strike will be brought
up on the floor.
O'Connell intimated that he will
attempt to sidetrack the movement
"The air is full of general strike
talk" O'ConnelI admitted, "and
the matter undoubtedly will be
brought up"
He then revealed how the Coun.
Gil would try to halt the genera
strike.
ANY action, however, will be fol
the individual unions to take" hi
said. THE Council by very definite
rules of the American Federation Of
Labor cannot order anyone out"
1t is clear that the Labor Coun.
Gil takers will not support the gen.
eral strike movement. But the in
dividual unions under the pressure
of the rank and file are ready fol
the action.

probably be the same Mr.. Choco-
late's case. Only little more than
year ago Mr.. Benny Leonard tried
to regain his mantle but only his
ghost walked and they quickly sent
it back where it came from.
This is perhaps good, after all. A
man becomes immortal only when
the customers swear by his immor-
tally with their color; and it would
be awful if the newspapers had to
have for an immortal one who
couldn't draw the coin. What kind
of live, pulsating immortal would
he be if nobody paid to cape at
him?
But this has never happened. Be
cause the newspapers can make any
mortal immortal, and they always
do so first, in order to keeps on the
safe side.

All trade in Germany is slump

are the uses of immortality if
one is considered a has-been :?
You could hardly find any
notice yesterday of Mr.. Kid
Chocolates bout with Johnny
Erickson. There were other i'm
mortals now occupying the sports
pages. Immortals are born there
every day and every day immortals
die there. It is an immortal game
MR. KID CHOCOLATES plight, OF
III course, is a very sad one. People
become professional prizefghters to
make fortune and when they can
not make fortune anymore they
have to go to work particularly
when, like Mr.. Chocolate, they have
spent what fortune they did make
in being knock immortals.
But it is so much easier than going
to work if one tries to become a
comeback immortal Mr.. Chocolate
would again like to be an immortal
in good standing.
His plight is the plight of many
immortals who have fallen to low
estate. How the immortals of yes
terday have become mortal and now
suffer from bellyache and have to
ride in subwaysl Who remembers
immortals? What has happened to
Gertrude Ederle, who was once i'm
mortal enough to get job on the
Loew's circuit? What has happened
to Red Grange, the immortal extra
ordinary of football? How many of
those who follow the immortals
know that Paul Berlenbach is now a
bouncer in Yorkville saloon? Who
knows where Joe Walcott is, now
that he has been fired by Madison
So. Garden from the job he had of
cleaning the ring in that invest
ment of Six Hundred Millionaires?

1 never regain their immortaldom

NEW YORK. - The Downtown
Unemployment Councils TO-DAY 40
pealed to all workers to pack the
south side of Union Square tonight
at 8 p. m. to prevent a repetition
of the two savage police attacks
upon the regular Saturday meetings
of the past three weeks.
On Saturday, June 16, and again
on June 80, cops with drawn guns
broke up regular meetings of the
Unemployment Councils. In each
case. when confronted with a large
mobilization of workers on the Mon
day after, the police did not dare
attack.
In answer to the bloody police at
tacks, the Unemployment Councils
together with other working class
organizations, are holding nightly
meetings on the Square.
Paul Block, organizer of the Re
lief Workers League, and Frieda
Jackson, organizer of the Upper
Harlem Unemployment Council,
were slugged and jailed when cops
attacked last Saturday. Already the
frame-up machine is in motion to
railroad these workers to long terms
in prison. Police thugs have pro-
duced lenghths of rubber hose from
their own armories and are charg-

brutal assaults on the unemployed
assembled at Union Square. Mass

NEW YORK, July 6.-Four local
unions. 261. 906. 1011 and Az, of the
Brotherhood of Painters were pre-
pairing to take action at their meet
ings tonight against the election
frauds by which the corrupt Zaus-
ner machine managed to keep itself
in power last week against the slate
led by Louis Weinstock, militant
rank and file candidate. All will
demand new elections.
At a meeting on Thursday night
called by the rank and file action
committee of Local 261, attended by
300 members, resolutions were
adopted condemning the President
Peter Barron and Secretary Max
GAIT for their fraudulent election
practises. A number of forged bal
lots used by Zausner henchmen in
Local 261 are now in the hands of
rank and file leaders. The resolu-
ton adopted on Thursday night was
to be presented last night to the Of
fetal meeting of the local.
With the District Council offices
at 246 w. 14th ST., guarded by 10
policemen on the outside and IS
strong arm men on the inside, the
Board of Trustees proceeded, on
Thursday night, to consolidate its
brass knuckled control of the or
ganization. Inspecting the creden-
tials of 10 newly elected delegates,
the trustees refused to seat five
without offering any reason. The
five who were refused seats despite
their election by large majorities
were Harry Rothstein, Local 400; H.
Serre, Local 848; Charles Lubkert,
Local 499; Sam Rosenthal, Local
