Politicians Deceive
Chicago Teachers
lOOOOParents, Teachers
at Meet; Strike Brewing

CHICAGO-Led by the nose by
the futile effort to throw out one
political party and put in another,
Chicago teachers were deceived
again at mass meeting, attended
by more than 10000 teachers and
parents at the Coliseum on Thurs
day, April 5, 1884, when they per-
mitted politicians, fishing for votes
in troubled waters, to turn the
teachers struggles for their back
pay and free public education into
a fiasco.
The mass meeting, called by the
Volunteer Emergency Committee,
John Fewkes, chairman, was for
the purpose of demanding an an
swer to the question, why no
school relief" No answer was
given.
Ten thousand people expressed
their indignation at the attack on
education in Chicago by coming to
this meeting.
The audience was reused to en-
thusiasm three times: once, to boo
Governor Homer; again, to express
their disapproval of Mayor Kelly;
and a third time there were angry
shouts when Roy Woods intimated
that somebody had stolen $50,000,-
600, and it might have been the
school board.
In the meantime, a straw vote
on the subject Of strike is being
taken in each school. The results
of this vote VIII be announced next
week.

UNIONTOWN, Pa. (By maiD. -
The Uniontown celebration called by
the United Mine Workers of Amer
lea on April 2 was attended in the
beginning by at least 10000 people,
but as the U. M. w. A. officials
ranted about faith in god, Roosevelt
and Lewis, and against any strike,
the crowd dwindled to about $1,000
or 10000.
Prick gunner provoked clashes at
the start of the meeting. One of the
gun thugs, John Bosak, from Eden
born, emptied his gun and wounded
two miners, one of them seriously.
The other thug, John Zero, tried to
fire but was disarmed. The state and
local police prevented the miners
from giving due justice to these
thugs, who came to this meeting
with guns in their holsters to pro-
woke fights and murder unarmed
miners.
The crowd pummeled Bosak, and
he was sent to the hospital; Zero
was held in Jail, only to be released
by District Attorney Wade K. New
ell without any charges being placed
against him.

Charles G. Wood, Govt
Strikebreaker, Is Fired;
Was Not Slick Enough

BOSTON, Mass, April S.-Charles
G. Wood has been kicked out of the
Federal Cancellation Service, having
outlasted his usefulness as "concili-
ator" and strikebreaker for the
bosses government.
Wood was notorious particularly
In the struggles of the I. Miller shoe
workers in Long Island, where he
was active in raising the "red scare .
In that strike he used his govern
ment position to prevent the manu-
facturers from signing up with the
Shoe and Leather Workers Indus
trial Union.
Wood was also used as a strike
breaker in other parts Of the East,
and in the South and Middle West,
working both for the Hoover and
Roosevelt administrations. His dirty
deals finally made him useless for
the pose Of Federal mediator" He
issued q statement on Monday that
he had resigned" but the U. s.
Labor Department, knowing his rep
utation among the workers, insists
that he has been dismissed.

Labor Board Again
Issues Rule Against
Kirchik-Beckerman

WASHINGTON, D. c., April
8.-The National Labor Board
issued a ruling today that the
Kirchick- Beckerman Shoe Corp,
of New York, has violated it's
agreement with the Shoe and
Leather Workers Industrial I'm
ion, and was discriminating
against members of that union,
which is now a part of the Uni
ted Shoe and Leather Workers
Union.
Of the 100 workers who went
on strike few months ago, 90
are still solid in their struggle
against the boss who is permitted
to blacklist the men and openly
violate his contract in spite of
the fact that labor board deci-
sions have since last January
been hurled against him. Moth
ing has been done TO this boss,
however, while two Kirchick-
Beckerman strikers are now fac
ing sentences to long terms in
jail on frame-up charges Of hav-
ing beaten up scabs. One of those
facing sentence is Julius Krane,
who was recently elected organ
izer for the stitchdown depart
ment of the New York district
for the United Shoe and Leather
Workers Union.

while the company thugs were per-
mitted to go free even though they
had guns.
AS the miners were preparing to
go home, and waiting for their buses
and trucks, the city police tried to
break the waiting crowds. When the
crowds refused, on the corner of
Gallitin and Penn AYES, to move,
the firemen we're called, and they
started to douse the crowdo with
water. The miners cut the hose and
knocked the f1remen off the trucks.
The result of the fights at Foot
dale, Vesta 6, Uniontown, is about
IS in hospitals and 80 arrested.
One feature of the meeting was
the indignation of the miners over
the fact that not a single speaker
raised word of protest over the
sentences of from one to four years
melted out to the four Fayette Coun-
ty miners as result of their activ-
tiles in the last summer and fall
strikes.
The discussion Of the leaf1et issued
by the Brownsville section of the
Communist Party, which was dis
tributed in IL mines and also in
Uniontown last Saturday ad Sun
day showed the readiness of the
miners to follow the leadership of
the Communist Party. The Browns
vile Section must utilize this situa-
ton to build strong Party nucleus
in one of the key Prick mines and
crystalline an organized left wing
opposition.

To Tenants Fight
On Segregation
Mass Pressure Wins Bic
Victory; Hats Attempt
to Evict Cyril Briggs

NEW YORK.-The powerful Emil
grant Industrial Savings Bank
capitulated last Friday before the
united onslaught of white and Negro
workers against its attempt to evict
Cyril Briggs, veteran working class
leader, from 425 East 9Th Street, be-
cause he is a Negro. The white ten
ants in the building had refused to
pay any rent until the eviction no.
tice against Briggs and his family
was withdrawn.
Notice of the banks surrender
was given the House Committee of
the tenants over the telephone on
Friday. The Committee Immediately
demanded a written statement from
the banks agents, which was forth
coming in the first mail Saturday
morning. The tenants and workers
Of the neighborhood celebrated their
victory in a spirited open-air meet
ing Saturday night at Avenue A
and 9Th Street, and pledged to con-
tinue and spread the fight against
segregation and persecution Of the
Negro people.
The mass fight against the banks
race hatred policy had reached a
high point within the last few days,
with the sending of protest delega-
lions and kilograms to the bank,
holding Of open-air meetings and
preparations to begin picketing Of
the building and bank by last Friday
noon if the eviction notice was not
withdrawn by that hour. Many or

Win Shoe Strike
in Philadelphia
PHILADELPHIA.

PHILADELPHIA, April s.
The strike at the Keystone Slip
per Company has been won.
After four days of picketing,
during which time, the entire
shop of about ITO workers were
out, the boss was forced to grant
all demands, wage increase of
from 10 to 20 percent have been
granted, Garabaldi and other
workers fired for union activity
have been rehired, and the boss
has agreed to recognize a shop
committee, and permit the col
lection of dues.
The winning of this strike is
Of special significance. The 80
bosses in the industry in the city,
have been using every trick to
force the workers into the Cen
trail Convention, the company
union. The successful defiance
of these attempts in the Keystone
shop, should serve as the signal
to halt similar attempts in other
shops.
The strike was led by the
United Shoe and Leather Work
ers Union.

Struggle Not Over,
Say Dryden TOiIerS
Vote To End Strike Is
Railroaded Through
by Co. Union Head
Daily Worker Midwest Bureau

Daily Worker Midwest Bureau
CHICAGO, April THE strike
is over for 1000 workers at the
Dryden Rubber Company here,
who went back to work Saturday
with 5 per cent increase instead
of the 20 for which they struck
last Wednesday under a company
union, but the workers are firmly
convinced that the struggle is not
over.
The company union head, David
Frankel, railroaded a vote through
to return to work at meeting
Of only 400 of the workers. Of
these 100 hundred voted against
returning.
Leaflets issued in the name of
the Communist Party and the
Young Communist League, taken
reluctantly the first day of the
strike, were grabbed yesterday
and discussed by groups of work
ers. There is no doubt that the
immediate action of the Commu-
nists and Young Communists
forced even the 5 per cent in
crease in wages which averaged
$14 a week for girls and SIG to
$18 for the men.
Frankel selected the Commit
tee" which dealt with the boss. He
urged the workers to go back be-
cause Dryden was losing con-
tract for rubber parts from the
General Motors" He had two mill
tant workers thrown from the hall.
He allowed no discussion.
But the Dryden workers state

Aid Bosses in Plan
of Discrimination
BY a Budd Mfg. Co. Worker

By Budd Mfg. Co. Worker
PHILADELPHIA, April "a mass
meeting Of employees of Budd Man
ufacturing Co. was held under au-
spices Of A. F. of L. at the Ken
sington Labor Lyceu1n, End and
Cambria Sts., last Thursday night.
More than $40 employees attended
the meeting, at which George Buck
ley off1ciated in place of DR.. Robert
Bruere, representative of the Ma
tional Labor Board, who failed to
appear.
During the meeting the rank and
file became furious and gave or
ganizers, Lou Hynes and Joe Richie,
a grand raspberry for trying to force
the latest so-called agreement down
the Threats of the workers.
This agreement between President
Roosevelt and Mr.. Budd calls for.
among other things: the Budd Co.
to hire one striker to one new man,
and even this was not adhered 20.
The workers asked the officers to
resign because they were so easily
misled. This motion was promptly
evaded by organizer Hynes.
Mr.. Buckley said he would make
clear anything the workers did not
understand about the new promise.
Upon being questioned, Buckley
finally admitted that there Is no
assurance that Budd would live up
to his promise. When the workers
would insist upon certain points in
the agreement, Buckley would evade
the issue and referred the questions
to DR.. Bruere.
Cases of Discrimination
Cases Of discrimination were cited
where strikers were hired under
Budd's big hearted agreement ato
relieve the distress of the strikers
by cleaning up the plant. Some OF
the men with 20 years of faithful
service were awarded by big yellow
button so as to distinguish them
from the rest of the employees.
When Hynes saw that he couldn't
continue with bureaucratci dorni-
nation he adjourned the meeting
amid protests, jeers and boos.
