Cigar Strikers Stand
Fast as Boss Weakens

PHILADELPHIA, July Il. = The
800 strikers of the Royalist Cigar
Company continue picketing the
plant, and prevent scabs from en-
tering, following an unsuccessful
conference with Ben Grabowsky,
one of the owners of the plant.
The conference heartened the
strikers, indicating that Grabowsky
was weakening, and giving the lie
to Lew Hines, A. F. of L. organ

frighten the strikers out of the

IRISH WORKER PRAISES
MORIARTY ARTICLE

New York City.
I wish to congratulate Comrade
Moriarty on the letter he wrote to
the Daily Worker which was pub
lished March 18th, and how he re-
moved the cloak Of hypocrisy from
the political organizations and their
military display which took place in
New York City on st. Patrickis Day,
and which in no way represents the
national and social freedom that
the people in ireland advocate.
I should like to add a few more
words on how necessary it is for the
workers of all nations to fight the
evil 1 see now prevailing in the
United States. Perhaps Is million
workers are entirely out of employ
ment. At least IS millions have
their vitality lowered and efficiency
diminished. Our hopes dimmed,
our outlook on life embittered-and
yet all the suffering was not caused
by a shortage of crops or any in
ability to produce goods.
Quite the contrary; people are
living in crowded quarters or are
even homeless while in the same
community apartments and houses
are becoming vacant in increasing
numbers. People went hungry -
while but a few miles away food
stuff and other commodities rotted
which could have been distributed
among the starving people.

literature.) During the conversation
we learned that one Of the three is
a taxi-man, and the other lost his
job with the c. w. A. a week before.
These two confessed that last year
they used to throw unSavory epithetS
at Communist speakers right here
on the same corner where our meet
ing was held. This time they had
listened more seriously to what we
were saying. The taxi-man, particu-
larly evinced clear understanding
of the social forces Of society. The
two taxi strikes evidently had taught
him a great lesson. The third of the
group volunteered a promise to join
the Party in the very near future.
1t all reduces itself to the follow
ing point: The units, the Section,
must prepare a sound apparatus for
the arrangement Of outdoor activ-
tiles this summed. A speakers buro
must be established not to fail in
supplying the street meetings with
English and language speakers The
sale of literature must accompany
every meeting. Incidentally, at our
meeting worker from the audience
criticized us for not giving a more
lengthy talk on the contents of the
various pamphlets we were offering
to the workers.
Yes, the open air meeting can be
made powerful instrument for
bringing the masses closer 10 our
movement, providing we arrange
them in a more disciplined manner
than we have done up to now.

side, was accidentally dumped into
the lard tank, spelling all the fresh
lard. Instead Of throwing this
spoiled lard into the rubbish tank,
the bosses "doctored" and fixed this
lard up with chemicals and intend
to sell it at a cheaper price.
If this lard was thrown away, it
would have meant a loss Of $1,000,
and, rather than lose this amount
of money, the bosses are going to
take chance on running the peo-
pies health.
Due to the fear struck into the
hearts of the bosses by the activi-
ties of the unions, the bosses of
Swift g. Co. have decided to give
some workers raise, from 21s to
71z cents, depending on the kind
of work. This shows what an effect
even the smallest signs of union
activity can produce.
The bosses are very much wor-
ried about the leaflets that were
dropped around the shop by SYM
pathizers Of the Packing House
Workers Industrial Union, and
they have cause to worry, for the
P. H. w. I. U. is very much alive.
Recently the bosses began a
searching campaign for union leaf
lets. After searching the dressing
room lockers they began TO question
the workers for information about
other workers.

NOTE-This attack on the poor
farmers is being staged according
to law passed by the Congress
that represents the bosses and
the rich farmers, and is therefore
legal according to capitalist
law, which protects only the pri-
vste property of the rich land
owners. The only protection for
the small farmers is to organize
and defend their property against
such laws.
