OF Longshore Strike
New York Men Prepare
to Spread Strike to
Other Docks

NEW YORK.-While longshore-
men on the West Side coastwise
Piers "a and 81 continued to strike
yesterday, preparations were being
made by the Rank and File Action
Committee Of the International
Longshoremen's Association and the
Marine Workers Industrial Union to
spread the strike to other docks as
soon as ships come in from the
South.
Although leaders of the I. L. A.
have been talking about spreading
the strike, the longshoremen have
very little faith in their leadership.
The activities of these leaders dur
ing the past few days, their refusal
to allow the men to picket while
scabs were being brought into the
piers by the Val O'Toolc Detective
Agency, has aroused considerable
resentment against the I. L. A dele
gates.
Mallory Company officials admit
ted that they had 500 strikebreakers
working on the S. S. Iroquois.
Demand Ousting of O'Toole
1t was learned that the scabs were
recruited by the Val O'Toole De-
tective Agency, 521 Fifth Ave-, in
Harlem. A strikebreaking head
quarters was also set up in loft
on the second floor at 108 w. 46th
st.
Working with O'Toole is a pro-
fessional slugger, Whitley Con-
way, 111a w. 65th ST., who handles

14-Despite the 24-h our
duty of the National Guard,
the 5000 ore strikers are re-
naming out solid. There is
continued tension in the
Walker and St. Clair Counties
Coal Mines, as the miners see the
betrayal of the N. r. A. wage scale
which sent twenty-one thousand of
them back to work under William
Mitchs District President of the
U. NJ. w. A. last agreement with
the operators. This agreement of
the A. F. of L. officials did not give
the miners the promised wage in
crease and union recognition.
The Walker County Grand jury
has begun investigating the
shootings. A large number Of wit
nesses have been called. Quiet
prevails in the Jefferson County ore
area at the moment,
The Birmingham authorities are
using every means to place the
blame for the violence on the Com
munist Party. The strikers are
answering the injunction against
picl5eting of the Republic Steel Co.,
as we'll as the presence of the Ma
tional Guards by mass action.
To break the heroic spirit of the
strikers the police charge Negro

The Communist Party and the l.

issuing fifteen thousand printed
leaflets calling on the ore strikers,
cafeteria, textile and relief strik-
ers to keep their ranks solid and
smash the terror by mass picketing.
The leaflet demands the withdrawal
of the National Guards and calls on
the strikers to stay out on strike
until they gain union recognition,
higher wages, and the release of
all militant workers now under ar

New States

Population has nothing to do
with admitting a territory to state,
hood. The Constitution states
New states may be admitted by
the congress into this Union; but
no new state shall be formed or
erected within the jurisdiction of
any other state, nor any state be
formed by the junction of two or
more states, or parts of states,
without the consent of the legisla-
lures Of the states concerned. as
well as of the congress-" Political
circumstances govern the admission
Of the states. Some territories
have been made states though
their population was only a hand
full; while Hawaii, with a popula-
ton larger than several of the
states, will probably never have
other than territorial government.
