Park West along the three blocks
between Goth and 69rd Streets.
Three bands-the Workers Ex-

Shouting anti=war slogans, the
demonstrators marched west to
Broadway, up Broadway to rand
Street. West 72nd Street, where they
were eheered as they passed a sec
ton occupied by Negro workers.
Passing through the west End
section, the paraders sang the In

the rich; feed the poor" to the
horror of the occupants Of the lux
urious apartments in that exclusive
section Of the city.
AT the monument thirty policemen
and a number of plainclothes men
waited for the paraders. Many of
the cops, it was learned, had been
detailed to the demonstration from

threatened wslkout of elevator OPP
orators.
Arriving at the monument, war
veterans-members Of the Workers

The keynote of the demonstration
was sounded by Prof. Treadwell

Of thousands of workers, has shown
for the hundredth time that the
young workers take the lead so far
as militancy is concerned. The
greatest percentage of those who
were swept into the A. F. of l..
since the enactment of the NR.A
were young workers. These young
workers, perhaps more than any
other section Of the organized work

Strikers Foil
To Beat
LaundryUnion
Company Union Scheme
Is Defeated Despite
Bosses Threats
By MANNING JOHNSON

The owners of the Fordham
Laundry and their hirelings at
tempted to break the five weeks
heroic strike of the 300 Negro and
white laundry workers by calling
them to a meeting to vote for the
formation Of a company union.
This was a last desperate effort to
break the ranks of the strikers
and to make them quit the fight
ing Laundry Workers Industrial
Union.
During all last week the employ
ers had their agents visiting the
strikers in their homes. They told
the strikers that a meeting will be
held in the premises Of the Ford
ham Laundry to settle the strike
and that the leaders of the union
and the shop would be present.
About fifty of the strikers went to
the meeting. The employers worked
hard to keep out the leaders and
the militant strikers, but we're I'M
successful.
Mr.. Erich and company opened
the meeting with an attack on the
leadership of the L. w. l. U. and
wound up by telling the workers to
quit the L. w. I. U. and to join
the company union if they wanted
to return to work
Despite the attempts of the
bosses to prevent discussion, some
Of the strikers took the floor and
exposed this move as an attempt
to defeat the strike and called
upon the strikers to stick to the
union and continue the strike.
As a resul of this, Mr.. Erich was
able to sign up only IS, most Of
whom were non-union drivers,
company agents and few strikers
who were uncertain as to which
course to take.
The Fordham and Oak Laundries
have been closed as tight as a
drum for five weeks. The ranks Of
the workers remain solid. The
picketing of the hand laundries,
which are the customers of the
steam laundries on strike, have
been very successful. The hand
laundrymen have stated definitely
that they will not give their work
to the struck laundries until they
settle with he L. w. I. u. because
they do not want their places of
business picketed.
At meeting Saturday the
strikers unanimously agreed to con-
tinue the strike and to picket the
Fordham and the hand laundfies,
that still give work to the Ford
ham, until hell freezes over" be-
fore they will submit to the terms
of the employers.
One speaker stated. "If we go
back without the union if we &C.
cept the proposal of Mr.. Erich. we
will lose all that we have gained
through organization. Defeat will
mean longer hours, less wages. no
pay for overtime, stealing from
our pay envelopes, firing Of those
who protest and general worsening
Of our conditions. We must con-
tinue the fight and if we do, we
will winl"
The strikers appealed to all work
ers and working class organizations
to send delegations of workers over
to the strike headquarters, 1888
Third Avenue, to assist in picket
ing the Fordham, Oak and the
numerous hand laundries.
Help us win our strike and we
will help you win when you strike, -
the union declared in its appeal.

Shoe Officials
Get Police Aid
tOHaltMeeting
Seek to Prevent Rank
and File Executive
from Reporting

Police were called by officials Of
the Boot and Shoe Workers Union
CA. F. of L. on Thursday night
to break up a membership meeting
Of the Slipper local Of that union
The membership came to the
local meeting to hear the report OF
the rank and file Executive Board
Of the local and to act on the pro-
posed agreement with the manu-
facturers, worked out by a rank
and file agreement committee.
At the Executive Board meeting
held the night previously, Mike
Tesoro did not dare to oppose the
agreement, but he refused to give
the board the names of the manu-
facturers with whom agreements
expire in December.
Decide On United Front
The Executive Board also decided
to enter in a united front with
the United Shoe and Leather
Workers Union.
Instead of the membership meet
ing being held in Royal Mansion
as arranged by the Executive
Board, Mike Tesoro changed the
meeting place to small hall on
Second Avenue, in order to prevent
the majority of the workers from
attending the meeting.
When the meeting opened for
business, instead of taking Zip the
report of the Executive Board.
Tesoro, the racketeer organizer,
suspended the regular order of
business and delivered an appeal
for an affair to be arranged by the
local to raise finances. When it
was voted upon, the membership
rejected it overwhelmingly
The membership demanded that
the report of the Board be heard.
A henchman of Tesoro stood up
and declared that the present board
was not legally elected and they
can't give a report; this, in spite
Of the fact that this E. B. was
elected and Is supported by the
overwhelming majority of the
membership.
This agent Of Tesoro was booed
down. The chairman. Paris, an
other henehnen of Tesoro, declared
the meeting adjourned.
Refuse To Adjourn
Under the leadership of the Ex-
eoutive Board the membership re-
fused to move from the hall ana
demanded that the order of BUSH
ness be proceeded with. The Sec
rotary of Tesoro called the police.
In few minutes the place was
jammed with the Riot Squad with
machine guns, who chased the
workers out of the hall.
The Executive Board declared
that they were going to the union
office to meet and the workers fol-
lowed them, but they were not per-
mitted into the office.
A member of the Board stated
that the E. B. is determined to mo-
bilize the rank and file to defend

Citys DisposalPlant
Project Progressing
Much Work Has Been Completed
At the City Park-Bathing
Beach Enlarged

The work at the municipal dis
posal plant is progressing very sat
isfactorily, with new workmen be-
ing added to the crew as necessity
demands. A huge amount of dirt
has been moved and a few of the
excavations are practically COM
pleted.
At the present time eleven men
are working on one shift and nine
men on another. This amount
will be increased to a total of %
men employed on the project These
men are employed Tx hours per
day, eleven of whom work six
days, while the other crew takes
charge of the job for six days. This
arrangement seems to be much
better than the three day on and
three day off plan.
A Golfer dam is being built from
the pumphouse excavation, which
is now completed, across part of
Sank River. This work is being
done preparatory to laying the
large tile, which have already been
taken to the site.
The work at the park project is
now being cared for by total Of
62 men, who are divided into two
shifts of three eight hour days.
Since the writer's last trip to the
park, a huge amount of filling has
been completed. It is estimated,
that it will take another month, or
even more, to complete the entire
fill. This, however, may be inn
possible owing to the lack of CWA
funds. It is stated, however, that
work will be continued for some
time yet, and it may be possible
that another month of work may
be had under this plan. The work
of landscaping the part already
filled will be taken care of as soon
as possible in the spring.
Ali those having refuse, ashes and
other matter which they wish to
dispose of are asked to haul it to
the city park at the fill. This
ground is to be used as dumping
ground until the work of filing is
completed. It is hoped that the
people of Sank oentre and conf
munity will not haul refuse to 9TH
er dumps surrounding the city.
A large amount of gravel has
been dumped on the ice at the
bathing beach, with a view of en-
larging this popular play ground.
When the entire work at the park
is completed Sank Centre will have
one of the finest park sites to be
found anywhere.

Harbingers of
Spring Seen Here
Kids Play Marbles In Spite OF Fact
That the Grounding Saw
His Shadow.

The last article on signs of
SPRING, which appeared in The
Herald was followed by a bitter
cold wave. Hence, with fear and
foreboding we again attempt to hold
forth a slight ray of hope to our
subscribers for an early spring.
Admitting failure in the last
weather forecast, the logical thing
to do, would be to keep quiet, but it
is our bounden duty to keep the
public informed on the news OF the
day, and here it is. Regardless of
the fact that the grounding saw his
shadow, and that we were, chided
a trifle by our Little Sank Core
spondent recently, we offer here two
signs Of spring, believe it or not.
Several robins were reported seen
on the Henry Pauly farm, northeast
of Sank Centre on Saturday, and on
Sunday the boys Of our fair city
were playing marbles. Usually this
order is reversed, the boys start
playing springs favorite game be-
fore our red-breasted feathered
friends put in their appearance.
Our Little Sank Correspondent
may find plenty Of kids to play mar
bles, but he win have to go some to
show us a flock Of robins. And we
state further, that after the weather
man reads this dope. the kids win
not be able to hold the shooter be-
tween thumb and finger, because 1t
will be too cold.

secret message, the place where the
boys will assemble to hear this
message is also being kept secret.
All Scouters are urged to meet with
the boys and hear the broadcast,
which will be heard by upwards of
a million Scouts and Scouters.
