RayOn Strikers Drive
Off Scabs and State
Trooper; Upset Car
Ashland W Orkers Ignore
Orders of UTW Heads
Against Picketing

JEWETT City, Conn, April 10. -
While the Ashland Rayon strikers
were following the order of their
leaders CU. T. W. for no mass
picketing around the plant, the
Scabs began to trickle slowly into
the mill. Finally last Tuesday the
strikers took matters into their own
hallds and decided to stop any
* bs from entering the plant.
When the overseer arrived at the
plsnt at a. m. with a carload of
scabS, the strikers were massed at
the mill door waiting for them. The
overseer jumped out of the car hur-
riedly and tried to open the door to
the plant, but the lock had been
filed with broken pieces Of matches
and he couldn't get the key into the
lock. The strikers took advantage
of the delay and surrounded the car
that was filled with scabs. They
rocked the car so violently that the
scabs bounced around like rubber
balls. Then they took off the door
of the car and drove the scabs away
from the mill.
When the second carload of
scabs arrived, the scabs were not
only driven away, but the car was
overturned completely. Immedi-
ately a state trooper was brought
in from the barracks in Danielson.
However the strikers were so en-
ragged that this lone state trooper
suffered pretty badly when he tried
to dispense the strikers. He was
forced to appeal for help, and i'm
mediately more troopers were sent
to the scene. However not one scab
got into the mill that day. We must
continue our mass picket lines
around the mill every day until we
win this strike for a rs per cent in
crease in wages.

Daily Worker Midwest Bureau

Daily Worker Mid West Bureau
CHICAGO, Ill, April 2O.-school
teachers are to march through the
Chicago Loop today after a mass
meeting at Liberty Square, Congress
st. and Michigan Ave, at 10 a. m
in what John M. Fewkes, Billy Sun
day type, holding dictatorial reins
over the teachers, promises to be
an orderly parade"
Fewkes has assured city officials
that he will keep the teachers in
check and prevent any attempt Of
a march on the City Hall or any of
the Loop banks.
The returns of a straw vote on
strike have thus far been kept Sc
cret by Fewkes, tho he announced
that about so per cent of the teach
ers had voted to go out.
Fights Militant Teachers
Fewkes has called "civic organiza-
tons including the American Le-
gion, Lions and Kiwanis Clubs, etc.,
to join the march with a specific
announcement a gainst militant
workers or teachers whom he refers
to as trouble makers" Captains
were named to censor all banners
carried in the march.
The rank and file teachers group
of Chicago has issued a call to all
student and workers organizations
to enter the demonstration in a
body.
The main demands Fewkes has
raised are vague requests for "a
general protest against inhuman
conditions in the schools, to arouse
public opinion and to secure pass
age of legislation"
The rank and file are urging
the teachers to prepare for strike
for back wages and rehiring of
unemployed teachers through the
cutting down of teacher load, and
the return of the % per cent wage
cut.

Bronx Tenants Win
Two Rent Strikes
Force Reductions of
Rents

NEW YORK.-The tenants of 999
Freeman ST., Bronx, after a long
struggle, won their rent strike fore
ing the landlord to grant their de-
mands for recognition of the house
committee, no evictions, free repairs,
and the installation of electric
refrigerators.
Under the guidance of the IN
employment Councils and unit 81,
section Is of the Communist Party,
and led by P. Meyrowitz, and A..
Lerner, furriers, I Browder, chauf-
fer and I. Kushner, the landlord was
forced to accede to all of the ten
ants demands The tenants have
donated 81 to the Unemployment
Councils.
During the strike, the landlord
served disposseses to several of the
tenants, but due to the solidarity of
the % tenants of the house, he was
forced to withdraw the eviction
proceedings and deal with the work
ers tenant committee.
Britton st. Tenants Win
NEW YORK.-The 48 tenants of
653 Britton ST., Bronx concluded a
successful rent strike, forcing the
landlord to reduce the rent 81 to So
on all apartments. At the request
of the tenants, he was forced to con-
tribute $40 to the Unemployment
Councils. In addition to winning
rent reductions, the tenants forced
the landlord to recognize the house
committee and promise not to dis
criminate against active strikers.

Amter Contrasts HI. r.
1898 with Fraudulent
Wagner Bill
BY l. AAITER


WHEN the Workers Bill H. R. 1896
" is proposed, we frequently meet
with the answer that there are
"other bills just as good" In view
Of the sweep Of the Workers Bill
through the A. F. of L., William
Green has come out in denuncia-
ton Of the Bill, calling it not "feas-
IDLE" and unconstitutional The
Socialist Party leaders, lining Ut
with the bosses and the A. F. OF
L. officials in support of the NR.A.
file the same objections to the
Workers Bill and give support to
the Wagner-Lewis Bill.
In many states, unemployment
insurance bills have been introduced,
In Wisconsin a bill was adopted by
the state legislature, and shelved.
Why suddenly this interest in I'M
employment insurance? Why the
silence of Roosevelt since the cleo
ton campaign of 1882 and in face
of his statement on February %
C'Roosevelt Program for JoblessD
that
Direct relief as such, whether
in the form of cash or relief in
kind, is not an adequate way of
meeting the needs of able bodied
workers. The Federal Gov
eminent has no intention or de-
sire to force either upon the cOun-
try or the unemployed them
selves a system of relief which is
REPUGNANT TO AMERICAN
IDEALS of individual self-reli-
ance."
Why do MIR. Roosevelt, Miss Perk-
ms and others, who have forgot
ten" unemployment insurance since
the Fall of 1882, suddenly support
the Wagner-Lewis Bill? For the
simple reason that the support be-
hind the Workers Bill is growing so
rapidly and invading the realm of
the A. F. of L. and of the fraternal
societies so effectively that Roose-
welt, Perkins and Green are be-
coming frightened
It is time, therefore, that the
workers learn what the Wagner
Lewis Bill is and then they will I'M
derstand that in supporting it Roo
sevelt, Perkins, Green g. Co. are
merely pursuing their policy of pill
Laying the unemployed and of pro-
viding strikebreaking measures, as
they have in the National Recovery
Act and in the Wagner Labor Bill.
What Is The Wagner-Lewis Bill?
The Wagner-Lewis "unemploy-
ment insurance" bill provides the
following:
l. No insurance for the army of
100000 unemployed. This is not
openly stated in the bill, which de-
clares that the insurance fund shall
be raised by means of a IS per cent
tax on the employers pay roll
Clearly the employer pays into the
fund only for his own workers. The
unemployed have no employers and
therefore receive no insurance.
2. The bill further excludes the
following: agricultural laborers,
domestic workers, teachers in any
school, college or university, those
employed in the service of a COM
mon carrier transport workers. d,
government employees, physicians,
surgeons, internes or nurses in hos
pitfalls, and workers in shops employ
ing less than 10 persons. More than
half Of the working class would re-
ceive no insurance.
8. The act would provide mini
mum Of 81 week i ance for 10
weeks in the year. the worker
has worked at least FIVE years for
the concern he m yabe entitled up
to Is weeks insurance a year. In
both cases there would be a waiting
period, during which the worker
would go without compensation, an

.Busse Band Is
Scheduled for
Indiana RooI

Henry Busse and his orchestra are
to play for dancers on the Indiana
Roof tomorrow evening for the first
time in more than two years.
According to persons who saw the
band during its recent engagement
in the Granada cafe at Chicago
little or no change has been made
in it's personnel since the orchestra
appeared here.
Tom Devine of the Roof recalls
that Buses first appearance in his
dance place was made as featured
trumpeter in Paul Whiteman's Or
chestra. Since that time, the IA
nous trumpet player has played two
one-night stands here with his own
orchestra, which first became popu-
lar in their territory through their
broadcasts from Castle Farms at
Cincinnati, via radio station WLW.
Radio fans throughout the country
are familiar with their work. Be-
sides the usual dance combination,
Mr.. Busse will bring a group of en-
tertainers. In all the unit will con-
tain nineteen people.
Music for the Roofs dance to-
night will be played by Miller
WEIGH and his orchestra from Pur-
due university, which has the dis
tinction of being the winner of a
contest between the dance bands
from the big ten universities.

In honor of Booth Harrington
playwright and author, the Civic
theater will present at the Murat
Friday evening, Feb.23, the drama
tization of one of his best-known
novels, Seventeen"
With the enthusiasm for the cele-
bration at high pitch not only in
the city but also in the state, and
the presence of many dignitaries as
Sured, the affair promises to be a
gala event, a high spot of the local
theatrical season.
Mr.. Harrington has been admired,
respected and loved in Indianapolis
SO long that to enumerate his lit
erary achievements would be SUI
perflous. Because a program Of this
sort never has been attempted be-
fore, this one deserves the support
of the entire city and state in the
opinion Of the casting committee,
which includes Mrs. Kurt Patzer
John Ray Newcomb and Walter
Pfaff.
In the leading role of Willie BaX-
ter, will appear the authors nephew,
Booth Harrington Jameson, about
whom the character was originally
drawn. 1t affords a rare opportun-
ity to see this fictional character
appear on the stage in his own role
as he is likewise known to be the
hero of the Penrod series by the
same author.
Others in the cast include: Hen
rietta Orr as Lola Pratt, the baby
talk girl; Walter P. Pfaf as the
gruff Mr.. Parcher; Elizabeth Bogert
Schofield as the sympathetic Mrs.
Baxter. Willie's mother; Horace F.
Hill III as unsympathetic Mr.. Bax-
ter, Willie's father; Fanchon Fattig
as Jane Baxter, Willie's annoying
little sister; R. Blayne McCurry as
the Negro servant, Genesis; Robert
