we are following the results of
the drive with great concern. We
here experienced the fullest powers

hope to see it rise.

Two Strikers Are Held
In York After Police
Attack Demonstration

YORK, Pa, Aug. 10.-Despite the
fact that police with tear gas and
clubs had attacked a peaceful dem
onstration of 5000 workers in front
of the T. E. Brooks cigar plant at
Red Lion on July 26, two strikers
we're today being held for trial on
charges of "rioting" and attack
ing an officer
The workers are Arthur Kelly and
w. w. Hitz. Proof that there had
been no disturbance before the po-
lice attacked, firing tear gas into
the crowd, was disregarded by AL
derman Paul Shive, who heard the
cases.
Seven others in the demonstra-
ton we're discharged. Fifteen more
of the SIS arrests will be heard later
today.

DETROIT, Mich, Aug. 1o.-A new
series of lay-offs is sweeping
through the auto plants here. The
entire night shift of the Briggs
Mack Avenue plant, involving about
1000 workers, was recently laid off
and there are reports that on Aug.
Is the Briggs Highland Park plant
will shut down completely.
The third shift at the Plymouth
plant $4,000 workers. has been laid
off. A worker at the Ternstedt plant,
a subsidiary Of General Motors, was
told by foreman that a complete
shut down of Ternstedts was ex-
pected today. This will throw 5000
workers, most of them women, out
of jobs 5000 were laid off at this
shop in the month of June).
Only about 1000 out fthe normal
10000 are now employed at the
three Hudson plants, and most of
these are working only two or three
days week.
The Ford plant, according to re-
liable information, will shut down
completely on Aug. rs for week
and possibly two.
Though more than two-thirds of
the auto workers have been laid off,
with the vast majority of the rest
working only a few days a week,
production has declined much less
proportionately. For the week ended
Aug. 4, automobile production in
the United States and Canada
totaled 1854 units. This is only
1887 units below the corresponding
period of last year, at which time
employment in the industry was
close to the peak for the year. This
is accounted for by the tremendous
intensification of speed-up and in
dicates that when the production
season starts again next year, many
workers will be permanently unem-
ployed.

Sound
Fishing Fleet
MenQuitNets

ANACORTES Wash, Aug. 10
Two thousand fishermen, compris-
ing the entire Puget Sound purse
seining feet, struck here against a
33 to so per cent wage slash. All
the men on the 200 vessels of the
gill-netters fleet, and majority of
the tender crews have also walked
out.
AS the strike spread to the can
ming plants, six large canneries were
tied up by strikes today with 500
workers out, and the two remain
ing trap canneries are expected to
follow.
The fishermen have elected a rank
and file strike committee of twenty
five, electing members of the Can
merry Workers Industrial Union in
the leadership. The national sec
rotary of the union was arrested,
and the fishermen, jamming the
streets, issued an ultimatum to the
merchants and the Chamber of
Commerce that no settlement would
be made until he was released. Al
most Immediately the national sec
rotary was freed.
In solidarity with the striking
fishermen, the rank and file long
shoremen today refused to load SAL
mon cases. Aroused by the grow
ing mass support, the fishermen are
determined to stay out until all de-
mands are won.
The men voted solidly to stand
behind their demands, including
recognition of the union and for
no discrimination against striking
workers in the plants and on the
fleet.

DES MONIES, Iowa, Aug. TO-
Unemployed workers delegates and
poor farmers met at the State I'm
employment Conference here We'd
nesday and laid plans for mass
campaign for the enactment of the

ployed.

5000 Lynn
Shoe Workers
Back at Work
Local Leadership's AL
Policies Result in
Unfavorable Pacts

LYNN, Mass, Aug. 10.-Au but
1000 workers are today back at
work following the strike of 5000
Lynn shoe workers that started
Monday morning as a protest dem
onstration. TWenty-six shops are
signed up and 10, including larger
shops like Farina and ShaveS, Leo
pold and Bender, are yet to be
signed.
The agreements are being signed
by the local leadership of the United
Shoe and Leather Workers Union
with the consent of the Resident
General Executive Board. The
agreements run for 18 months at
the prevailing wage scale and con-
tain, in some cases, clauses pro-
viding for compulsory arbitration.
There has been no organized mass
picketing or meetings of shoe work
ers where reports or discussion on
procedure could take place. The
leadership is thus conducting the
strike in typical A. F. of L. fashion
against every principle laid down
by the Amalgamation Convention.
A group known as the Edge
Makers Council of New England has
been formed which expresses inten-
tions to take a strike vote of all
edge makers in the district today
for an increase of 1872 cents. While
this move is regarded favorably, the
leadership of Local s has beer
criticized for not exerting mass
pressure for an increase of all shoe
workers. The rank and file are
alertly watching that the Brocktor
Brotherhood leadership Of Goodwin
and Murphy do not use the edge
makers as wedge to bring disunity
into the ranks Of the United work
