Communists Call
On Gas Strikers
10 Remain Out
Settlement VI e ans
Defeat of Cleveland
Strike

CLEVELAND. Ohio, May s.-The
Communist Party of the Cleveland
district has issued a call to the 1900
gasoline station strikers of the Gas
Station Operators Union urging the
continuation Of a militant strike,
and a refusal to be forced back to
work by the pressure of the federal
and city government and the A. F.
of L. officials. Phil Hannah, under
the tremendous pressure of the
strikebreaking company and govern
ment forces, is now vaCillating, and
is accepting the latest arbitration"
proposals Of the Petroleum Labor
Board that they return to work
without winning any Of their de-
mands.
The leafiet to the strikers states
that: THE pressure Of the compa-
MES, the Cleveland Federation of
Labor heads, and especially the fed
eral government, has swerved your
leaders from their militant course.
They have accepted the proposals
Of Dr. Leiserson Of the Petroleum
Labor Board
Boost Company Union
The acceptance of these proposals
means a surrender of all demands.
the Communist statement points
out
It is clear. the Communist Party
declares, that the companies,
through the Petroleum Labor Board,
are trying to force the strikers back
to work, to prolong negotiations, and
leave the wages and working condi-
tons the same as before the strike,
while gradually firing and blacklist
ing the best fighters. The plan Is to
set up company unions while these
negotiations are going forward,
Beware of the New friendship!
The leafet declares: Yesterdays
papers announce that the differences
between tn Cleveland Federation of
Labor officials and your union have
been Strengthened out, At the same
time, James F. Malley, secretary of
the Cleveland Federation states that
Mayor Davis gave you wonderful
support. Every member of the
union knows better! Did not Mayor
Davis threaten to break your strike
by opening the gas stations with his
police? Mayor Davis is not the friend
Of the workers! Mayor Davis, work
ing hand in hand with the top Of
ficials of the Cleveland Federation
of Labor, has done everything to
smash your militant policy of strug-
gle which alone could have won your
demands"
The leafet calls on the strikers to
elect broad rank and file strike
committee Of 100, to stay out until
wage demands are won, to reject the
company union and attempts to
smash their own union. to begin a
campaign for relief. organize a gi-
gantic parade through the main
streets, and to call on the refinery
workers for support.

Thugs Active in
knitgOOdS Strike

PHILADELPHIA.-Terror is still
being used against the strikers in
the knit-goods trade here, because
the union has succeeded in main
tanning the solidarity of the workers,
including the majority who have
returned to work.
Thugs attacked Alvin Hirsh, a
rank and file striker this weekend
Hirsh was blackjacked near the
strike headquarters, $40 Locust Ave,
and left unconscious on the side
walk. 1t was necessary to take four
stitches in his scalp to close the
wound.
This terror Is strengthening the
determination of the workers to
continue their fight for militant
leadership and for the expansion of
the union to include all the four
thousand workers in the knit-goods
industry here. The workers in the
shops which have returned to work
are now fighting against all dis
elimination against the strike lead
ers.

Defend Right to Picket;
Expose Increase in
lnjunctions Under NRA
BY PAUL APPEL

The Columbia and Myers Up
holstering Co. of SIS Canal ST., Bos-
ton, in securing one of the most
vicious injunctions against the Fur
11iture Workers Industrial Union in
its attempt to cut wages and OBJ
crate an open shop, met the solid
defiance of the workers.
The workers refused to accent
the order of the capitalist courts
to stop picketing and surrender
their right to live and struggle for
better conditions. A call was issued
to smash the Injunction by mass
picketing, and picketing started with
the result that 27 of the leading
and most militant members were
arrested for "sauntering and loiter-
ing"
1t was decided to conduct the
case Of self-defense through 2, com
mittee chosen by the pickets with
the aid of the International Labor
Defense.

The rank and file committee

In reply to Aubrey Williams request
that the committee instruct the vet
Grams to accept work relief, Kicker
son replied:
Neither you, nor I, nor the Presi-
dent OF the United States can COM

work relief which means six DAYS a

ninety cents an hour. In fact, this
committee will do all in it's power to

to fight these miserable conditions"

Harold Hickerson, of the Workers
Ex-Servicemen's League of New
York and chairman of the Com

ing militant reply:
Neither you nor I can nor the
administration itself can change
the mandate and decisions of the
great majority Of the 1900 regis
tered war veterans who were in
convention here last year and
adopted the Three Point Pro-
gram"
The right to hold daily open-air
meetings was also Wrung from
Howe and General Hines of the
Veterans Administration. The Off
Gals of the District had at first re-
fused to grant any permits for such
meetings.
Indicative of the attempt to split
and weaken the ranks of the veter-
ans, Howe tried subterfuge to get
Emanuel Levin, chairman of the
Workers Ex-Servicemen's League,
off the Committee, charging that
Levin had called him up the night
before in drunken condition. Ac-
tually, Levin was not even present
IN Washington during that time.
Hickerson replied to Howe:
Levin and ] have both been
elected to the National Commit
tee and are both members of the
Committee today. We intend to
stay on"

The Corn-Hog contracts from
Big Horn county have finally been
approved by the state board Of
review with a five per cent adj
justment made in the total num-
Der of pigs reported by the grow

ment Administration.
A meeting of the board of di-
rectors of the Corn+EIog Associa-

ISOLATION, for Saturday to consider
the adjustment that must be
made to comply with the county

ly help in making this adjustment
if they be turned in now.
