Rank and File Painters
Demand Weinstock Be
Seated Instead

NEW YORK. - Rank and file
members of several locals of the
Painters Brotherhood will appear
at the meeting of District Council

from Louis .Weinstock and claims
to be the elected secretary treasurer
of the Council, be ousted and that
Weinstock, duly elected SECRETARY

new elections.
A committee of painters have in
their possession piles of evidence
showing that the elections last week
were fraudulent and improper. This
evidence will be presented at the
District Council when the demand
for zaNsner's custer will be made.
Hundreds of members of the union
have signed petitions stating that
votes were stolen by the zausner
men. The workers signing these
petitions are demanding that Zaus-
ner get out and that Weinstock, the
rank and file candidate, take Office

Typical NRA Measure
All of Labor Must
Back Stevedores
By BILL DUNE

by BILL DUNNE
THE Roosevelt administration and
1 its various agencies is engaged
today on the Pacific Coast in the
most brazen and ambitious piece of
strikebreaking that has yet featured
its anti-working class activities in
the series of strike movements
against company unions and hunger
wages.
The armed offensive against the
Pacific Coast workers rises out of
the general forcible offensive of the
employers to challenge attention of
the whole working class.
The Daily Worker yesterday, call
ing for nationwide support of the
Pacific Coast strike, predicted with
absolute accuracy the development
OF a new phase in the joint strike
breaking activities of the US. De-
partment of Justice, the Labor
Relations" Board headed by Arch
bishop Hanna, and the Industrial
Association formed by the water
front employers.
Armed Assault Featured
All papers today feature the
armed attack on the San Francisco
strikers by a force Of police esti-
mated at TOO mounted and foot, the
city fire department, and the profess
sional armed guards recruited by
the Industrial Association.
Similar attacks are in progress in
Seattle, Portland and Bellingham.
A U. s. warship with guns unhoused
and ready for action has moved in
to San Francisco harbor.
News stories give the details of
the struggle. Here it is necessary to
fix attention on the manner and
method by which RooseveIt's Labor
Relations" Board works hand in
hand with the strikebreaking vio-
lence of the employers and the po-
lice:
The Associated Press which yes
terday broadcasted the news mat
Attorney General Cummings had
ruled that the employers were under
no legal compulsion TO negotiate
with their striking employees, says
today under San Francisco date
line:
"A few hours before the trouble
began, the board asked the $1,000
Pacific Coast strikers to return to
work and submit their grievances
to arbitration"
Can anyone fail to understand
the meaning of this?
At the very moment when the In
dustrial Association, backed by the
city and state governments, was
about to launch its armed attack on
the workers, Roosevelt's board

Food Prices
Soar; Relief

Retail Prices Go Up
Is Per Cent Over
June, 1888

NEW YORK.-Declaring that food
prices have increased since January,
1884, Edward Corsi, director of the
Home Relief Bureau, yesterday de-
clared that $1500O0 was needed each
month to allow for food rises and to
care TO- the increased applicants for
relief.
Corsi said that he was lighting"
to increase food budgets by four per
cent. Such an increase would give
family of five exactly % cents over
present relief figures. New num-
bers of unemployed are applying
and in most cases turned away-at
the rate of 1900 applicants for re-
lief daily.
Corsi declares that food prices
have increased four per cent since

Commerce show an increase of

SAN FRANCISCO, Calf,
July 4.-Efforts to move
cargo from struck ships with
trucks escorted by police
failed today as strikers over
turned five trucks, demolished
one, fired another, and scat
tered loads of rice for two blocks
along the waterfront.
Six hundred police could not get
the scab cargo through the militant
line of thousands of fighting long
shoremen and sympathizers.
Scab drivers we're hauled from
trucks and beaten as the strikers
bsttled police who attempted to cut
way through the line.
The face-saving claim of the In
dustrial Association that ID round
trips had been made was exposed as
a lie.
Workers Defend Selves
Nine police were on the large list
of injured when workers hurled
rocks to defend themselves against
the tear gas and gun fire from
policemen.
A mass picket line halted the
state-operated Belt Line Railroad.
The management admitted its help
lessness as the workers of the rail-
road, who are under yellow dog"
contract, quit work.
Ready to Call Troops
Governor Merriam announced
that troops are ready to respond
Immediately. Indications point to
Thursday as the probable time at
which military force will be re-
sorted to by the desperate shipping
owners.
Chief of Police Quinn has re-
sponded to the insistence of ship
perS that he open the waterfront
by saying he is helpless and that
nothing less than an army can stem
the tide of working class militancy
which has been the answer to the
murderous drive of the shipping in
terestS. The newspapers here are
emphasizing his helplessness as
proof of the need for troops.
Meanwhile pressure is again be-
ng exerted through the Roosevelt
Board to make the embattled long
shoremen submit to arbitration.

official, engineered a makeshift
meeting of strikers on the water

CUITEAU'S PISTOL


After lying forgotten in the files of
the Attorney Generals office in Washing
ton for more than so years, the pistol with
which Charles j. Gniteau assassinated
President James A. Garfield in 1881 has
been placed among other historical relics
in the National Museum.
Accompanying the pistol was the
confession signed by Guiteau after his COM
mission of the crime. This confession,
written in a beautiful hand by the muir
derer himself, said in part

ton as a removal, and not as an assassi-

move as easily as possible Mr.. James A.

of Ohio. who temporarily occupied the
position of President of the United States.
and substitute in his place Mr. Chester A.
Arthur of New York, distinguished and

President Garfield was shot On LILY

assassin, disappointed office seeker and
fanatic, was hanged for his crime the fol-

MORE DICKENS DISCLOSURES
ed Lambright in Tampa Tribune)


Readers recently enjoyed hitherto
unpublished work of Charles Dickens
which had been kept secret until the death
of his last surviving child. Other Dickens
documents have now been released, after
concealment in the British Museum since
1879. These are letters which reveal the
inside story of Dickens separation from his
wife.
Dickens married in 1886, when he was
"a. At 46, he and his wife separated. The
break was permanent. He died in 1870,
she in 1879. Just before her death, the
estranged wife gave Mrs. Perugini, who
was Kate Macready Dickens, their daugh-
ter, letters written to her by Dickens as
lover and husband, with the request that
they be made public "at some future date"
Mrs. Perugini placed the letters in the ma
tional archives, not to be released until the
death, of the last direct descendant, who
was Sir Henry Dickens.
The letters show that the separation
was not due to any fault of Mrs. Dickens.
In fact, they fail to disclose any real reason
for the arrangement. Dickens simply
gave her his full permission to leave him,
and justified her action in so doing. From
the tone of the letters, however, it, is ap-
parent that the great novelist love for the
woman with whom he lived 20 years, had
cooled. They never again saw each other,
When he was dying, the wife who had
borne him 10 children was not called to bis
bedside. The letters probably will be pub
lished, because the great demand for The
Life of Our Lord" indicated the public's
eagerness for anything new by or about
Dickens.
The 800 newspapers which printed
the posthumous Dickens story added a mil
lion to their 10 million circulation thereby.
,Ensued a veritable Dickens BOOM David
Copperfield" and "Oliver Twist" are be-
ing made into movies. Leacock's life of
Dickens is having a remarkable revival
sale. Sinclair Lewis is revising and cutting
Bleak House" to make it more adaptable
to the present reading public, a live mys-
terry story instead of ponderous picture
of Victorian life.
