plant, at 4oO3 w. Roosevelt Road, to
decide on their next move.
The workers met last Saturday,
and yesterday presented their de-
mand for a wage increase to the
president of the firm, George B.
Dryden. Mr. Dryden was the or
ganizer of the company union,
known as the Dryden Rubber Com
pany Employees Club.
The strike was forced on company
union officials by the rank and
file. The company union president
now claims the organization is not
union but merely IAN employees
club"
The present head of the Club"
was put in that office by Dryden.
Most Of the girls, who make up one
third of the workers, are not being
involved in the strike, though they
are all out. Militant workers are
urging the formation of rank and
file committees to turn the. strike
into one for both wage increases
and real workers union recognition.
AirpIane Bosses Hunt for Scabs
BUFFALO, N. Y, April 5.-The
Consolidated Aircraft Co. has sent
letter to each striker wailing about
operating losses and begging the
men to give up their strike. This
in spite of the fact that the COM
pany's profits had increased in one
year 42.6 per cent as a result of
juicy war contracts.
The Consolidated letter discloses
that contracts have just been placed
and that the company must fulfil
them, so that the strikers have now
powerful weapon in their hands
in holding out for their demands.
A mass picket line surrounds the
Curtiss plant "a hours day. The
sentiment in support of the strikers
is such that both companies failed
to get scabs in the city. The Con-
solidated Aircraft Co. is completely
closed. The Curtiss is still attempt
ing to operate and brought in 80
strikebreakers from Bristol, Pa.
Three workers, upon finding that
the plant is on strike, quit and
Joined the strikers. They say that
the other men also want to quit,
but the company refuses to pay the
workers their fare home.
The union sent a committee to
demand that the company pay the
workers their fare home. Two work
ers got their fare. The third worker
refused to ride in the companys
car to the station and demanded
cash. This worker has sworn out
an affidavit stating that the COM
pany did not inform him that he
was hired to break the strike of
the aircraft workers.
A meeting of the union is being
held tomorrow friday, at the
Oriole Hall at pm.

Police Attack Pipe- Makers

NEW YORK .-Tuesday at p.
m, more than 500 members of the
Independent Smoking Pipe Makers
Union of America, massed before
the S. M. Frank Pipe Co., at 135th
st. and Southern Boulevard, in
determined effort to reorganize the
workers of this shop. About so
police, swinging clubs and fists, tried
without success to scatter the union
workers. Several workers we're
punched and dubbed, but the work
ers held their ground.
A famous stool-pigeon, Albert
Eagle, had a union member, joe
Bua, arrested on a false charge of
assault. In the 54th st. night court
his attempts at framing up an
honest worker were so obvious that
the whole court room, which con-
tanned many union pipe-makers,
laughed out loud. The case against
the union worker, Joe Bua, who was
defended by the L L. D. Attorney
Samuel Goldberg. was dismissed.

HAVERHILL, Mass, April 5. =
The striking shoe workers of Haver-
hill at a meeting this morning de-
termined to keep up their struggle
for improved conditions and real
wage increases. This stand was
taken in spite of the announcement
that the manufacturers, with the
aid of weak elements in the district
council of the United Shoe and
Leather Workers Union, succeeded
yesterday in carrying through an
agreement containing an arbitration
clause.
The workers are demanding sub
stantial price increases, especially
those in the fancy stitching depart
ment, the packing room and the
lasting department.
When. at the strikers meeting
this morning, the workers declared
that they will stick to their eco
nonic demands, negotiations with
manufacturers were broken off.
The strikers now realize that the
manufacturers are insisting on
chiseling wages down, and they are
growing more determined than ever
to carry on their struggle until con-
ditions and wages are actually i'm
proved.

Knew These Things

THE day after the brutal incident
4 with the Jews, the director OF
the camp took the train for Berlin
He is certain Reschke or
Reuschke. The purpose of his trip
was to visit the home Office in or
der to settle certain technical ques-
TOPS of jurisdiction in the camp
The same day it was learned that
not long before radio station at
Moscow had broadcast detailed
account of the tortures of the Son
nenburg prisoners. This had nat
urally made most disagreeable
impression and the director was in
vited to confront the "caluinnies'
of Moscow with 'the true facts.
These facts we learned from Nazis
who became sympathetic towards
US.
In the meantime, the mistreat-
ment of the Jews had brought about
such a wave of public indignation
among the inhabitants of the vii
lage and even among some of the
Nazis, that 1t was now impossible
to represent the facts as mere IN
ventions of Moscow. Therefore,
when the director got news of the
torture of the two Jews and the
outrage committed upon the young
est, he Immediately went with his
private detectives to the east wing
and the cellar, 50 that they could
later hush up the rumors concern
ing the affair. When he tried to
enter the cells of the Jewish pris-
oners the guard refused to let him
in, saying that he had the strictest
orders from the warden and from
Bruening that no one, not even the
director, was to visit these cells. All
this was open talk in the camp.
This naturally brought about a
struggle between the two men for
authority in Sonnenburg. Reschke
again went to Berlin and made a
detailed report to the Home Office
of what was going on in the east
wing, including the treatment of the
young Jew. With the thought that
his power at Sonnenbur9 would be
thereby augmented. he made the
same report to Mioister Diehls,
personal friend of Goering. He
