enth Avenue, declared:
Il am a finisher in the above
shop, working A hours for $22 per
week. The conditions in the shop
are very bad, workers working as
late as pm. daily.
Il went up to the N. r. A. Board
and appeared before committee of
about 10 men. They listened to my
case and told me to go home and
wait for a communication from
them. So far nothing has been
done for me by the N. R. A."
(Signed) ETHEL SISSMAN.

Workers Will
Mass at Relief
Office Monday
Local Meetings Called;
Protest at Constable
Office Today

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Nov. %
A mounting wave of protest &C
tons are being arranged by the
Unemployment CouncYils here pro-
testing the police murder of Will
liam Heaterly, jobless Negro, who
was murdered Tuesday as the po-
lice sought to evict him and his
family from their home at 1011
Callow Hill st.
Every Council local in the city
has arranged neighborhood mass
meetings. A city wide protest dem
onstration will be held Friday noon
at the office of Constable Gilman,
lbs Girard Ave, who carried
through the eviction and upon
whom the Councils directly place
responsibility for the murder. A
city-wide demonstration will be
held Monday morning at 9 o'clock
before the County Relief Office,
1850 Cherry st.
A delegation from the Councils,
the League of Struggle for Negro
Rights, and other organizations and
trade unions will protest the cold
blooded murder before Mayor
Moore, Chief of Police LaStrange,
and City Council Chairman Cox.
The mass meetings, the demonstra-
tionS and the delegations will de-
mand the immediate resembling of
all eviction laws and the passing of
a city ordinance against evictions,
and immediate punishment of the
murders.
William Heaterly was shot and
killed in his home Tuesday and his
brother Samuel was slugged into
Inconsistencies when the police, led
by Constable Gilman, sought to
evict them. The police visit was
the second in the course of week.
Neighbors had massed before the
Heaterly home to stop the eviction.
Police reserves were called. They
smashed through the workers lines,
battered down the doors, and en-
tered with drawn guns. William
Heaterly was cornered in a room
and shot down. His brother Samuel,
who fled before the gun frie, was
captured, beaten into unconscious
ness, and spirited away.
The murder of Heaterly climaxeS
wave of evictions and a reign of
police terror which is directed with
redoubled intensity against the Ne
gro people who constitute one-third
of those on the relief lists.
Relief is pitifully inadequate at
best, and yet double standard is
Observation-Disclosures budgets for I'M
employed white workers and for
those who fight for their relief
standards. Rents are not paid.
In addition to mass attendance
at all the protest actions, the
Councils urge all workers and their
organizations to send resolutions
protesting the murder, demanding
the removal of Police Chief La
Strange, and an ordinance against
evictions to Mayor Moore and City
Council Chairman Cox. Delega-
tons should be sent to the City
Council demanding an end to all
eyictions. Protests should be sent
demanding the removal from office
Of Constable Gilman, and protest
actions arranged in the neighbor-
hoods and at the relief stations.
Tonight at 8 o'clock the North
Philadelphia Unemployment Coun-
ellis will hold a mass protest meet
ing at the Saint Phillips Baptist
Church, 1886 North Tenth St., near
the home Of the murdered worker.

also, the average number of work
ers involved per dispute (740), was
larger than in any year since 1916,
excepting 1919 and 1922.
Below is the strike record for each
year since 1927 as reported by the
United States Department of Labor,
whose figures, incidentally, are ex-
tremeIy conservative and fragmen-
tary, as admitted by many observ-
ers. For example, this bureau has
omitted from its compilations the

York City taxi drivers which began

strike of September, and other
strikes during the same month, and
the figure rises to well over the mil
lion mark.
Thus the number of strikers in
the first nine months of 1884 al
ready exceeds the total for the en-
tire year 1888 as reported by this
government agency. And 1888, in
turn. showed more strikes (again
using government figures) than in
any year since 1921, and more strik-
ers involved than for any year since
1928.
In the first eight months Of 1894.

Turtle Creek
Riot Charges
Mass Opposition Forces
Indefinite Postpone
ment of Case

PITTSBURGH. Pa. Nov. %
Faced with the resentment of the
Turtle Greek citizenry against the
frame-up of three workers of that
community on charges of "inciting
to riot" and "obstructing legal
process" Assistant District Attor-
ney Chauncey Pruger was forced to
pronounce their trial postponed
indefinitely in court this morning.
The three, now at liberty under bail
of $1,000 each, are James Snyder,
John Hutsko and Meredith Mauk.
So aroused are the workers at the
Obvious attempt to railroad three
innocent men to the workhouse
that the town council of Turtle
Creek urged their release by a
unanimous vote, a Democratic Club
only last week demanded their
freedom, and the other day a petit
ton was handed to District Attor-
ney Parks containing 600 signatures
Of borough residents.
The three were arrested last June
when crowd of workers who had
assembled to prevent the eviction
of Turtle Greek family were bru-
tally attacked, tear gassed and
beaten by squad of As deputies.
In attempting to cover up the
fact that this third postponement
of the Turtle Greek case was forced
by the veritable avalanche of pro-
test sent to the district attorney by
hundreds of workers and working
class organizations, Pruger claimed
that mo court was yet available
for trial of the case, and that the
district attorneys office had been
unable TO round UP the long line of
witnesses which it plans to sum-
mon.

Detroit Daily
Drive Needs
To Be Spurred
Special Measures Are
Urged to Complete
Campaign Quota

Though Detroit has forged rapidly
ahead since the beginning Of this
month and now outdistances Cieve-
land. with whom it is in heavy COM
petition. only three Of its IS Sec
tions have completed their quotas
in the 100000 drive.
OF the II mass organizations, only
six have reached the 100 per cent
mark.
Three sections-Kalamazoo. Mus
kegon and Monroe-are still below
so per cent.
Among the organizations, the
Jewish groups have raised barely
500 Of their quota of $500, Two I.
W. o. branches, in particular, are
tagging badly. Nothing has been
heard from the Greek groups.
Special Measures Necessary
With Detroit still in need of all
most s400, it is obvious that dras-
tic, special measures must be
taken in regard to every Party
section and mass organization, if
Detr0it's work is to be carried
through by Dec. l.
Though Detroit has pledged it.
self to raise 1900 above its quota
by Dec. 8, at the latest, this does
not obyiate the absolute necessity
for the district to fulfill its orig
inal S2,500 task by the time set
by the Central Committee!
Affair, Dec. 8
The special affair at which De-
troit expects to realize the addi-
tional 81 900 it has pledged will take
place on Dec. 8, at the Finnish Hall.
It has been decided to give a ban
ner each to the section and mass
organization reaching the highest
percentage in the drive.
For the additional 81 900 the sec
lions and organizations have taken
the following quotas:
Section $500; Sections 2, 4, g.,
7, 8, 9 and 1885; Polish organ
izations-$50; Rumanian-s30; Rus

BY United Press
WILMINGTON. Del, Oct. A.
Attorneys for the Weirton Steel
Company. Weirton. Pa. hailed as an
important admission testimony that
the Amslgamated Association of
Iron, Steel and Tin Workers has
only forty-eight members in good
standing under the unions bylaws
in NRA lodge at Weirton.
The ADMISSION was drawn from
George Moore. former Weirton fore
man who went on strike year ago
because it is in my blood" and was
later dischar' d by the company.
Moore now IS treasurer of NRA
lodge.
Moore's concession, under cross
examination by attorney Earl E.
Reed, was the first important ground
won by the company in the trial
before Judge John II. Nields in
federal court. where the govern
ment's case to compel Weirton to
abide by the labor bargaining pro-
visions OF the national industrial re-
covery act is on trial.
Moore produced 1900 initiation
cards indicating that many of 5000
employees in the open hearth de-
partment of Weirton had intended
to join Amalgamated. The gov
eminent contends this is most i'm
portant as supporting its claim that
a majority Of the employees might
have chosen the Amalgamated if it
had not been for pressure to join
the cOmpany's union.
The signing of so many initiation
cards. the government contends, in
dicates a majority signified desire
to have Amalgamated represent
them in collective bargaining.
Moore testified that the forty
eighth with paid-up dues at the end
of the first quarter of 1884 were in
that position on the lodges books in
spite of the fact that dues were
suspended Jan. l. The suspension
came he said, because most mem
bers could not afford to keep them
up with present wages.
Witnesses yesterday testified tC
coercion and intimidation either ex-
pressed or implied by Weirton Of
f1cials and foremen at the time the
company plan was up for considera-
ton.
