Court Orders Zausner
to Reinstate All of the
Suspended Members

NEW YORK-An crder TO restrain
211inter5' District Council 9 CA. F. of
L. from collecting a 50-cant tax i'm
posed on the members by the Council
through strong arm methods, last
summer was granted to the MEM
bership Of Painters local 400 By Judge
Warshcu2r of the Bronx County Su-
IRENE Court yesterday. The suit for
the restraining order was pressed by
one Of the members Of the local but
was actually won by the militant bat
tie Of the rank and file in the past
months against the registering o.
f1cialdom in control of the Council.
Judge Warshauer's decision de-
clared that the Council had no right
to collect the tax and ordered all
members suspended for failure to pay
the tax to be Immediately rcinstated,
as members in good standing.
Close to 100000 was collected by
the zausner ofictaldom from the
membership. Tax receipts went to
the support Of a corps Of thurs to
maintain the officials in power Frus-
trated in the attempt to con-
tinue the 5o-cent tax, the Zaus-
ner clique mas maneouvred a r1feren-
dunn and by fraudulent methods has
obtained approval Of a new 25-csnt
tax from the members. The tax has
not yet been collected.
Zausner, called to the witness stand
by Attorney Harry Sacker for Local
499 in the injunction suit, made 8
poor case for himself.
Following the judges decision At
torney S. Noll, proposed that the
question Of reinstatement be left to
the officials to carry out. Stacker
wanted it included in writing in the
judges decision.

mand of the rank and file. The or

NEW YORK.-The traitorous strike
policy Of the Amalgamated officials,
who wait hat in hand for the MIRA.
TO settle" the hotel strike and curb
al militancy, was seen again yester-
day with the announcement by B.
Tied, the unions secretary, that all
picketS would be wi5i,c.-awn from any
hotel to enable the N. p. A. millinery
code authority and Mrs. Roosevelt to
put on publicity stunt for the milli-
merry bosses.
I'm order not TO mar the label in
auguration proceedings or to emba=-
rass Mrs. Roosevelt the union will
permit the luncheon to take Place at
any hotel even though affected by the
strike except the Waldorf" declared
Mr., Field, This is similar to the poll
icy followed by the union in the case
of President RooSevelt'S birthday
party, when mass picketing ceased in
time for the birthday party to be
he'd.
While hotel picketS pace the streets,
hungry in the wind and cold, the

its pickets and leave the fat-bellied
A. F. of L. officials, the millinery

Led by Field, several hundred hotel
strikers yesterday came to City Hall
where they were met by LaGuardia's
Secretary Lawrence Durham. They
protested police brutality against
pickets at the Waldorf demonstration
Monday night.
The Workers International Relief
yesterday offered to establish relief
kitchens in conjunction with the
Ama'gamated strike committee to
provide relief for the strikers. The
Amalgamated officials have not yet
replied to the offer Of the WIR.
PITTSBURGH, Pa.-The strike of
the hotel workers at the william
Penn and the Fort Pitt hotels con-
tinued strong today with militant
picket lines maintained. ScabS are
forced to live in the hotels under
heavy guard. The strikers are gaining
greater pubic support for their eco
nornic demands.
A militant demonstration at the
Pittsburgher Hotel where the man.
agement was reported to have forced
its workers to scab at the Penn Hotel
resulted in police attack. Eight
were arrested.
Preparations are now under way
to spread the strike. Despite the fact
that the ''red scare" has been raised
in the local press, the workers are
so.id,y back Of the Hotel and Restau-
rant Workers Industrial Union, lead
ing the strike.
A mass meeting is being called on
Thursday at pm. at Moose Hall,
62S Penn Ave, to prepare hotel and
