MY FIRST ARREST

I WAS fred from the C.WA. along

public library.
We had been told by the chief
librarian that hardly anyone would
be laid off from projects 1913 and $50
about week before, and for that
afternoon, at any rate, he had made
us feel good. He told us we we're
stacking up in our work, probably
because we were worrying, and that
we had no need to worry about los
ing our Jobs.
In the library all was going along
quite smoothly, like a huge polished
wheel, when on Monday morning,
ten we're laid off-and in the after
noon Is we're laid off, and the next
day 100 were laid off. The next day
hardly anyone came to work be-
cause We had all been fired.
I went up to the supervisor and
asked him why I had been fired, but
the man shrugged his shoulders,
grinned foolishly, and said he did
not know.
The next morning I picketed with
others of the Recreation Workers

watching, approached us and told
us to Scram.

We kept walking, but nearing the

The officers thereupon pushed us
against the wall, and told us that
we would cool off in Jail.

While no announcement concern

labor strategy committee, the pub
lie was beginning to believe the
crisis was past. Wholesale grocers
and produce merchants reported
the frenzied "stock up" buying of
housewives ended before noon on
Wednesday and business dropped
measureably today.
Senator Wagner, apparently un-

car by four excited guards at Port
lands municipal pier No. 4, sought
to gather a concrete picture of the
widespread strike disturbances
Later he will report to President
Roosevelt's mediation board in San
