to organize, and asked of each
worker 5000 as security for the
promise. Mr.. Nathan favors Henry
Ford; he has speed up system
even though he cannot hook his
men to a conyeyor belt. He pays his
"craziest" man $40 a day to break
his neck over a hot grill setting an
example and bullying the 50 men
into a faster pace.
WHEN one knows few facts
w about the inside of Nathan's
set up in Coney Island it is not
so hard to understand that the
strikers only demands were nine
hour day and a six-day week. Ma
than always told the countermen,
in his Winchelish way, that he was
doing them a favor by letting them
work for IA hours a day, because
that was the only thing that saved
them from spending their money
fooishly.
They believed this for a while,
but i'll health on the part of all
workers, and the event of one
worker going stark mad and dying
just before the strike, due, the doc
tor claimed, to II years labor under
the great link man, crystallized

he has no use for such dirty money.
Mr.. Nathan Gets Out an Injunction
After nine days the police again
come to Mr.. Nathan's aid with an
injunction prohibiting the strikers
from picketing within ten blocks of
his establishment. Jack Lipschitz
rallies all the strikers and about
500 Coney Islanders to a meeting on
unemployment insurance. The po-
lice arrive on the scene immedi-
ately and try to use the injunction
to dishand the meeting, but Jack
explains that they are not picketing
and that the meeting has nothing
to do with Mr.. Nathan, that the
meeting is held to explain the new
unemployment bill, H. R. 1898.
The cops say the injunction for
bids this, that it means that not
even one striker can be seen walk
ing within ten blocks of Nathan's.
Jack explained that this would
make it impossible for them to go
to New York because the last sub
way station was within a block of
Nathan's. The cop told them to
swim or fly-anyway they wanted
but they wouldn't be safe within
ten blocks of Nathan's. During this
period some 80 arrests were made of
strikers trying to get to the sub
way to go to New York.
The picket line, almost in de-
Spair, finally decided to hold their
picket lines along the beach about
a mile from Nathan's in order to
get the masses Of the people to help
support their strike and join their
fight against this vicious injunction.
For five weeks the seaside picket
line, assisted by vel. rowboats
with placards, has been successful
in gaining wide support for the
strike in money, food clothes. and
shelter for the unemployed of Coney
Island.
Torture OF Patsy Augustine
On June 5, Patsy Augustine and
five members of his family were
all routed out of bed sometime after
o'clock in the morning and taken
to the 60th Precinct Station without
a warrant, and held until the fol-
lowing afternoon when the family
was released, but Patsy, the young
strike chairman, was held. Detec-
tiveS burned his feet with matches,
threw lighted matches on his face.
beat his face until it was black
with blood, left nine bloody stripes
on his back, and pulled out hand
fuls of hair, and threw boiling water
on him. This torture lasted eight
hours, until friends made such a
row that the police were forced to
release him on $4,000 bail.
IN June 8, the National COMMITTEES

Legislation of 73rd
Congress Analysed by
Labor Research Assn.

The most important legislation of
the 73d Congress, just ended, is sub
jected to a labor analysis by Labor
Research Association in its Eco
ncmic Notes for July. The housing
railway and labor disputes acts, the
revenue and farm bankruptcy acts
are summarized as legislation in the
interests of the capitalist class. This
list is an effective answer to Roose-
velt's radio speech of June %.
The state of business activity
construction, retail sales and prices
are surveyed on the basis of the lat
est figures. Feature articles are also
devoted to the milk situation, on
farmers conditions, Japan's trade
war, and an expose of recently pub
lished figures alleging loss by the
United states in its foreign trade
for the past 38 years.
Profits Of New York City transit
companies for the 10-year period
ending June 80, 1882, totalled S465,-
995, 036, according to Economic
Notes. While the average pay rate
of the highest officers of the COM
panies increased between 1923 and
1882. the article shows, wages of the
workers dropped.
The issue is completed with the
regular monthly survey of strikes in

successful struggles led by the va
rious unions.

|ELKS' MITE CLUB BOOKS SERENADERS|
Popular Entertainers to Appear Here TO-nlOr-
 row Evening

An innovation in orchestral presentation win be offered this Saturday night when Cal Moore's Serenaders of Springfield, Mass. will come to the Elks club to play for the Saturday night dance. The orchestra played recently for the Meriden lodge of Elks and proved a novel attraction. Members of the band render vocal selections, present intricate dance steps and offer dandy dance music.
 It was not expected that the band would be here for a week or so but apparently 1t misunderstood the letter forwarded to them and in the answer received here today the manager said the band planned to be here. The letter forwarded by Lieutenant William F. Pollard who is vice chairman of the Elks' entertainment committee asked for open dates and for the price at which the band would come to Waterbury.
 The night club program for the fall season is expected to get url- derway with a large attendance this week. Sandwiches and re- treatments are served the dancers who- attend. The hall has been es- pecially decorated for this weeks event.

City Awaits PWA
 Check of $63,OOO

Up to early this afternoon the city of Waterbury had not re- ceived any check for the $50,000 PWA bonds and the $13,00O PWA grant arranged for earlier in the year for the purpose of completing the municipal golf course. The aldermen early this year sold $50,- 900 in bonds to the PWA with the understanding that the city would receive the entire figure of $63,- 900 back from the government quickly so as to go ahead with the golf course.
 Last night the aldermen met at a call issued hurriedly for the pur- pose of passing several formal votes required by the PWA au- thorities. It was understood that as soon as the votes were passed the money would be forthcoming. Executive Secretary Thomas P. Kelly stated when talked with that no check had yet been received by the city. Payment from Washing ton is expected within the next few days, at the most, he said.

PHILIPPE THE BRAVE WINE
 ORDNANCE IS INVOKED

Dijon, Cote dor, France (UP)- Philippe the Brave, Duke of Bur gundy, issued an ordinance in 1895 which now is being invoked by the wine growers of this region who demand protection against the smoke and fumes resulting from the industrial activities of their neighbors.
 Last year road-workers at Fleurie-en-Beaujolais put a heavy coat of tar on the highways bor. dering vineyards. As a result, few hundred quarts of the wine in the region tasted, in the words of the winners, more like cough medicine. Not drop of the wine was put on the market.
 A lawsuit was brought against the public works service, the vint- ners recalling that Philippe the Brave forbid exposing the vines ito any harmful influence which might impair the high reputation of Burgundy wines."
