Racketeers Posing AS
Pickets Attempt to
Smash Union in Shop

NEW YORK.-Racketeers calling
themselves union men formed a
picket line yesterday at the Centuray
Cafeteria, 154 w. 18th ST., union
shop controlled by the Food Work
ers' Industrial Union, and demanded
that the owner pay $25 a month in
dues as the price for removing the
"pickets." "Pickets" paraded with
signs Of a so-called Food Handlers
Industrial Union" stating that the
shop did not employ union labor.
When questioned, the "pickets"
claimed to be members of the I. w.
W., but Secretary Muller of the /.
w, w. district office denied any con-
nection with this so-called union.
Muller reported that the picketers
had been expelled from the I. w. w.
several years ago. At 100 w 72nd
St. the address given as the union"
headquarters, a room for receipt Of
mail and phone calls was found, but
no office is maintained there.
When union members attempted
to remove the picket line, they were
attacked by well organized gang
equipped with knives. Police pro-
tected the fake pickets and one Of
the Industrial Union members was
arrested. Union members will ask
the support of the workers in the fur
and garment centers to Dust these
racketeers.

at least a quarter million copies, the
largest press-run recorded by any
previous issue.
Intensive preparations are reported
from numerous cities for mobilizing
class conscious workers to canvass
workers homes and industrial plants

Small Towns Respond
An outstanding feature in the cam
paign to spread the January edi-

from small American towns, hardly
touched before by the Daily Worker.
Proportionately many Of these
small towns show as large increases
IN their orders as recorded by the
orders for 100000 by New York, by
Chicago with its order for $4,000 and
by Detroit, which ordered 10000

Arrest 30 PiCketS
In Dress Strike

NEW YORK.-Thirty- eight pickets
were arrested at a piGketing demon
stration unparalleled for its enthusi-
asm and militancy, held yesterday
by the dress strikers Of the Mailman
and Sanger dress shop.
The decision to intensity picketing
around the shop was made follow
ing the refusal of the N. R. A. to
act on the demands of strikers
committee. The committee demanded
that the employer now producing
goods under sub-standard conditions
in violation Of the code, be forced to
reinstate all strikers to their jobs.
The action of the N. r. A. officials
was so brazen that there was no
doubt left in the minds Of the work
ers that the N. R. A. works hand in
hand with the bosses and the A. F.
of L. officials to put over wage cuts
and throw militant workers out of
their jobs.
Thousands of dressmakers going to
work stopped to express their solidar-
ity with the strikers.
Led by Mary Nigrelli, shop chair
lady, the arrested pickets faced the
court in the same militant manner
and defended themselves. The first
batch of 20 pickets were dismissed
by Judge Levy at the Special Ses-
sions Court. AS we go to press there
is no report available regarding the
disposition of the cases of the other
10 workers.

County called the Unemployed
Leagues by Mckinney and other fol-
lowers OF Music. He branded this
as an act of further splitting the
ranks of the unemployed, and de-
clared that his local would not go
along on this proposition.
Other rank and file delegates from
the Unemployed Citizens League
from Swissvale, Woods Run, ETC., de-
clared the same. A worker from
Swissvale sharply condemned Nc
Kinney's attitude and declared that
the unemployed now in the Unem-
ployed Citizens League of Swissvale
had unanimously decided against a
new organization and voted as q
body to affiliate with the Unem-
ployed Councils. This statement was
cheered to an echo.
1t is of passing interest to note
that although Mckinney was Off
cially and personally notified about
this conference, he failed to attend.
He came in for a few moments,
looked around and left. We are
firmly of the opinion that the Music
ties latest step in refusing to live
up to their unity pledges made be-
fore hundreds of delegates and thou
sands of unemployed in Allegheny
County will not go unchs llenged.
These promises and pledges were
very sharply called to the attention
of all the delegates present. The
fact that the rank and file workers
of the Unemployed Citizens League
working with Mckinney saw fit to
condemn this open sabotage of the
united front Is the best indication
that words and promises mean moth
ing if action and deeds do not follow
the pledges of these people. The
formation of another organization of
unemployed in Allegheny County I'M
der McKinneyS and Muste's leader
ship will not have such easy sailing.
The question of the G. w. A. pro-
gram was dealt with in detail, and
q special resolution adopted on that.
Organization of the c. w. A. workers
has already been undertaken in sew
eral localities Negro workers played
a leading role in the conference, and
there was good representation of
youth delegates and women.
Already meetings have taken place
to popularize the Washington, D. c.,
Convention of Feb. 8. and in the
course of the next few weeks dozens
more meetings will be held to popu-
larize and endorse the Washington,
D. c., Convention. Quotas were set
for delegates to the National Con-
vention.

Association, an independent union.

The immediate impetus to the Or
ganization Of the union was given by
the hotel owners open violation Of
the provisions OF the vicious hotel
owners code.
The first organization meeting Of
the hotel workers was addressed by
J. Wilson, national organizer Of the
Auto Workers Union, who urged them
to organize on a strong industrial

All the more pleasantly surprised,
therefore, was your humble cores
pondent when he read a letter from
Sammy Kovnat, young Philadel-
phia boxer.
CAMMY is a mitt- singer who evil
y IDENTIFY uses his head for
something else besides blocking
left jabS. While he can take
it, he Is by no means punch drunk.
And Sammy doesn't intend to be ore
Of the Battered Boys Brigade who
leap cut Of their chairs leading with
a left every time they hear gong.
Sammy is worker, meat-cutter by
trade, and a graduate of Northeast
High School of Philadelphia. He
boxed as an amateur for a long time,
coping the PhilIy lightweight title
among the sO-calIed simonpureS
Later, work being scarce, Sam turned
pro, hoping to make cut enough to
live on and bring back a few dollars
to Ma. Kind of an old story, but
there's a new wrinkle in 1t.
Sam began to look around. He felt
himself shamelessly exploited as a
prelim boy, fighting for paltry few
bucks, jumping in on last-minute
substitutions in poor condition and
being denied fights upon refusal to
"go into the TANK" as the lads at
the Garden so quantity phrase it..
Sam began to organize a boxers
equity association, particularly to aid
the preliminary fighters, the pork
and-beaners. the lads to whom a
weekly fight means stew and coffee
for the next seven days. So far did
his exploration of the social inplica-
lions of the fight racket extend that
Sammy wound up by becoming a
Communist, yes sir, bona fide, 100
per cent Red.
DY this we don't mean to condemn
- the rest of the leather-pushing
profession. There are many workers
who have turned to the business as
a last resort. A man must live, they
say, and ten-spot for a preliminary
fight is better than nothing at all.
In this connection, the case Of Vim
cent Babin comes to mind. Vincent
was a big, slow-moving Jugo- Slavian
fellow, bushy-browed and possessed of
a pair Of behemoth arms. He worked
as a Sparring partner for Max
Schmeling and got canned when he
pasted Der Max in the kisser too
hard when the cameramen were
around. Vincent was quite active in
the revolutionary movement and was
finally deported from the country.
He's now in the Soviet Union and
the last we heard of him he was the
boxing instructor Of the Amo plant
in Moscow.

NEW XORK.-Bail sgTegating S54, =

were araigned before Federal Judge
Knox at the Federal District Court
yesterday, on framed up charges.
Although federal prosecutor Amman
pleaded for higher bail equal to that
placed on the fur bosses and the A.
Z. of L. officials. Judge Knox was
compelled to deny the prosecutors
flea after hearing the argument Of
souis Boudin attorney for the In
5ustrial Union.
Boudin showed that it was due
% the Industrial Unions exposure Of
racketeering in the fur industry that
the indictments against the. fur
bosses and the A. F. Of L. officials
we're handed down and, he argued,
al members Of the Industrial Union
facing these false charges are shop
workers, not highly paid bosses or
A. F. Of L. officials,
Judge Knox's decision, while plac-
ing the bail at a terriheally high
amount, nevertheless represents a
gictory for the Industrial Union, in
hat it compelled the judge to recog-
nize the difference between the IN
5ustrial Union and the indicted
racketeering organizations and in
1ividuals.
Bail of $1,000 was placed on Irv-
ing Potash, Jack Schneider, Morris
LAUDER, oscar AIileaf, IandeIbaum
and Blanco. All others including
Gold, LYMAN, Winogradsky and Burt
we're placed on bail of $4,000 each.
Because of the loyal support of
The Union in rushing funds to pro-
vide necessary bail bonds, the union
succeeded in releasing on bail all 70
leaders and active members at the
same time. This was an additional
blow to the enemies Of the Indus
trial Union, who sought to keep the
most active workers in the Union be-
hind bars while plotting another at
tack on the Union. The trial on
he framed charges is scheduled for
