Departments starvation system.
She was being tried together with
Vittoria Raffe, wife of an unem-
ployed worker, mother of two chill
dren and a third child less than
month away.
Il was arrested" Bertha Long
declared, because I dared to pro-
test against starvation. I was ar
rested because the arresting officer,
Conway, by his own admission, has
stated that he singled me out be-
cause he has seen me on other
demonstrations; because of this I
charge that I was singled out"
In cross examining Conway, who
had arrested her, Long conclusively
proved that her participation in
other demonstrations had caused
her to be arrested, and not "disor-
derly conduct" with which she was
charged.
Conducts Admirable Defense
Continually harassed by the
judge and the prosecuting attorney,
she nevertheless conducted an adj
nirable defense, exposing the class
nature of the court, proving to an
audience of workers that no worker
can expect justice.
When Long stated that she was
unemployed, the judge INTERCEPTED,
Wen see just how much money
these people do get from the city,"
But Long spoiled his game when
she replied, Last week 1 got
nothing. Before that I received So
a week, but even this miserable sum
has been cut to $1.95." At this
point the Judge stopped the exami-
nation.

Court Order
Aims To Halt
Baker Strike
Call All Workers To
Mass Picket and
Smash Edict

NEW YORK. - A most vicious
court injunction, aimed at binding
hand and foot the bakers of the
Standard Baking Company and
make it unlawful to strike, picket
or even talk about strike, was issued
yesterday by Supreme Court Justice
Leander B. Farber.
The injunction was issued against
the Bakery Workers Union, Local
sos.
There are 80 points il the injunc-
ton which says that the union may
not "in any wise or any manner
directly or indirectly continue the
strike by picketing or otherwise"
The union is not permitted by the
writ to make, use. publish or COM
municate any statements, oral, writ
ten or printed to the effect that
that plaintiffs products are 'scab'-
or that there is a strike"
Point 81 says that the union can
not convey the idea by word of
mouth or by writing "or otherwise
communicating TO anybody that
there is a strike.
Point "a states that no other labor
organization may come to the aid
of the bakers.
This injunction is the most
brszen piece of ant-labor iurs-
forth from the New York courts
in many years.
Maintain the right to strike!
All labor organizations must at
once rally to the support of the
Standard Bakers.
Smash the injunction by mass
picket demonstrations,

such a character, adds ten
whoops to the revival, when well
minstrelized.
To extol Mr.. Ross will become
a convention. Today or tomorrow
the act of comparing him with the

Most of these great ones of yester-
year will suffer; at least Mr.. Ross
will not lose thereby. Even Mr..
Benny Leonard, the idol I am
afraid, will be punctured.
Mr.. Ross won the title fair and
square, with ease and with grace.
It would have thrilled the mar
row little il he had won by a
knockout; but his opponent was
one of the gamest and one of the
hardest hitting boxers on the
levee. 1t will be pointed out that
Mr.. Ross displayed intelligence
in utilizing skill instead of rash
ness and hunger for a knockout;
and that, indeed, when he did
open up he punched steadily and
fruitfully.
HOW one of the judges, O'Rourke
~ by name, ever entertained the
idea that McLarnin had won. is
hard to see, unless one is accus-
toned to seeing what underlies de-
cisions, 1t was a fortunate thing.
perhaps, that Eddie Forbes hap
pened to be the third man in the
ring, Mr.. Forbes may be preiudiced
against one who persistently re-
veals what can be seen under deci-
slons-as have learned-but as a
referee he has an honesty and eff
cheney superior to that of any other
referee in the New York district.
He did a perfect job Monday night,
ONE thing was unexpected in this
v contest, however, and that was
McLarin's exhibition It had been
proclaimed by all that Ross would
put on a mastery boxing caper.
But McLarnin was the favorite. He
proved a wasted, clumsy boy.
His dangerous right lurked use
lessly at his side through most of
the fight. Ross jabbed him con-
tinuously without return. Early
in the fight the Chicago lightweight
brought blood upon McLarnins face
and when the Is rounds were over
his eye and nose seemed to be ex-
tremely damaged. On occasion Nc
Larnin tabbed rapidly but rarely
did these jabs have any strength.
Ross evaded most of them, ANYHOW,
and countered with hooks which
sometimes veered McLarnin to one
side.
Toward the end of the battle Nc
Larnin bethought himself of the
right. Now it was a hopeless in
strument, however. Ross had the

are attempting to prevent a gen
eral strike through ostensible post
poneme1t, using the same strategy
as was used by the A. F. of L.
officials in prolonging the Minnie
apOlis truce"
The Central Labor Union Off
Gals, the Regional Labor Board and
the Auto Lite officials are centering
their strategy toward a postpone
ment of the general strike until it
can be prevented altogether. Mean
while, they are trying to demobilize
the picket lines, and finally an
nounce that the strikers have won"
arbitration, with all demands left to
the arbitration board.
This betrayal policy becomes i'm
possible with the present mood of
the workers, and the general strike
becomes extremely likely.
The Communist Party is widely
agitating for the election of rank
and file strike committees in all
factories and unions.
At the union meeting Monday
night the workers eagerly seized the
leaflets issued by the Communist
Party. The leaflets were read by
every striker before the meeting
convened, warning against a sell
out and calling for the rejection OF
settlement until the original de-
mands are granted, and urging an
immediate general strike.
A copy of the Daily Worker was
held up on the platform by a
striker and was greeted with great
applause. Five hundred Daily
Workers were distributed at the
union meeting alone.
The officials of the A. F. of L..
to cover up their poStponement OF
the general strike, called for "vic-
tory torchlight procession, culmin-
ating in mass meeting next Fri
day night. Workers organizations
are enthusiastically planning to
participate and are asking for rep
resentation on the arrangements

The Communist Party is holding

the u. S. Governments willingness
to join the other interested powers
in substantial proportionate reduc-
ton of naval tonnage" is an in
nocuous proposal in the face Of
Japanese Imperialism's known de-
termination to obtain an increase in
the 5-5-3.3 ratio, set by the London
Naval Conference, at the 1888 Naval
Conference. In addition to failing
to point out just what degree of
reduction it has in mind, the U. S.
government declares in unmistakable
meaning that "in the matter Of
naval ornaments We have felt
it necessary to build up approx
mately to the treaty limits ="
Such a building program, for
which S4O000,000 has Just been given
the Secretary of the Navy as a con-
tribution to the final program of
102 warships, is estimated to cost,
ultimately, approximately one bill

The US. proposal for the abolition
of tanks and heavy mobile artillery,
is, specifically, a generous offer
from an imperialist government.
However, the high degree of devel-
opment Of American industry and
the extent to which 1t has been fit

ment industrialization plan make 1t
certain that U. S. could get off to 9

Britain.
Davis reiteration of the bombing
planes proposal, the old demagogic
appeal to the masses of workers, who
instinctively associate airplane raids
with modern war, is a crafty pro-
posal, for military planes are a two
edged weapon. Being relatively
cheap, even small countries can af-
ford them. A few planes could do

outnumbered. One need only to

Lorge-Scale Housing Program
In England Dates From War
Delegate to Real Estate Surveyors Con-
gress Reports to Appraisers on
Britain's Ne,U 5-Year Plan.

A large-scale housing program, such
as is just getting under way in this
country, is an old story to England
and Scotland, Maurice F. Reidy Of
Worcester, Mass, who is attending
the conference here of the American
Institute of Real Estate Appraisers,
declared in an address to the institute
last night.
Reidy visited the British Isles this
past Summer as a delegate from the
National Association of Real Estate
Boards to the Fifth international
Congress of Real Estate Surveyors.
He found that since 1920 England
has built 100000 homes, mostly for
wage earners. rehousing approximately
100000 persons.
Subsidy Aids.
Shortly after the end of the World
War England decided to stimulate
home building as a means Of economic
rehabilitation, feeling that it was
necessary for the good of the entire
national life to help this basic indus
try. This stimulation sometimes took
the form of a subsidy of 20 per cent
of cost for wage earners' homes, Reidy
asserted

accomplished, the BritisherS now have

1.250,0O0 homes, the appraisers were
informed. Reidy estimated that be-
tween 100000 and 100000 per-
sons will have been rehoused at the
end of the five-year period. This
number would equal about 40 per cent
of the population.
Equals 20 Billions.
Although building costs the other
side Of the Atlantic are much lower
than here, British home-building op-
erations since the war have cost more
than s5,O00,0o 900, Reidy said, ex-
planning that to equal this record pro-
portionately the United States would
have to spend in the same period OF
time almost $1,000 ,000,0
The bulk of the British construc-
ton has been Of small homes costing
between 81, 500 and S2,500 and renting
for from $3.50 to s375 a week. Many
persons in England fear that the
homes have been built too cheaply,
Reidy asserted. He explained that
one unfortunate result Of the building
drive has been to lessen the value OF
properties of an older type.
All the new homes present an at
tractive appearance, Reidy said, with
brick or stucco walls, tile roof and
flower gardens in the rear.

Contractors estimate the job is about
two-thirds finished. Sixty-odd Of the
working days specified in the contract
have passed and the work is about up
to schedule. This has been accom-
pIiShed with the aid of maximum OF
some 1,4OO skilled workmen and labor
ers, many times the number which
ordinarily would be used. The reason
for the huge force is that the job was
of a magnitude to require about eight
months with usual methods and prac-
