Communist Party Hits
Martins Strikebreaking
In Statement to fress

SEATTLE-The Northwest Dis
trict Committee of the Communist
Party issued the following state
ment to the press this week
Governor Martin stands as La
boris Enemy No. OF the State Of
Washington. The wanton attack of
of National GuardSmen ON Tacoma
lumber strike picketS makes their
commander, Clarence D., Martin,
the leader of the united front
against the labor moyement-the
united front of the lumber haronS,
the fascist Committees OF 500 and
200, the capitalist politicians and
their agents in the ranks OF the lum-
her unions, diScredited Abe Muir,
Fred Lumm, Bert Hall, etc.
Warned Strikers
The Communist Party, in pub
lie statement issued ten days ago,
when Martin called out the state
police with instructions to. arrest
the strike leaders and particularly
the Communists, warned the Strik-
erS and the labor movement that
his Strike-breaking moves must I've
stopped by mass protest.
And a campaign from trade un-
ioniStS, from all who are on the
side of civil rights, who believe in
labor'S prerogatiye to strike and
picket, did prevent the terrorizing
arrests Martin had planned.
The Communist oarty calls for
another, far more intense campaign
now to remove the troops from Ia
coma. The Communist Party will
assist in modifying the whole labor
movement around this demand.
The Communist Party will sup
port every move to spread the
strike movement, for other trades to
raise their own demands in protec'
ton of their own standards, with the
perspective OF General Stflke Is II
is necessary to stop the terror OF
Governor Martin and his bosses,
the lumber baronS.
Halls First Step
The Communist Party halls the
first steps in this direction already
taken by the rank and file long
shoremen, transfers and street car
men of Tacoma who went ON strike
against the use of troops.
This attack by the state author
ity on the lumber strikers, who
with their dependents, constitute
the largest single group of the peo-
pie (whom Martin is supposed to
represent) shows the prime need
to prepare now for a militant anti
capitalist Labor Party in the next
elections.

Called Out

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES by
Il crowd of jeering workers and

police wearing formidable riot
helmets" to protect them from
any brutalities which young wo-
men pickets might contemplate

his brief ride on the white
horse" in Washington, d. c., in
1892, had signed the agreement
with the Cooks and Mattresses
Union for 10 per cent wage in
creases at the time the workers
threatened a general strike in
eating houses in Portland some
time ago.
Breaks Agreement
When employees of Winters
shop opened their pay envelopes
they found that he had cynically
broken their agreement.
Delegates form the local went
to the shop, and after talking
to Winters and receiving the us
ual whine that he couldn't af-
ford the increases, they lifted his
union card from the window and
the entire staff walked out,
leaving a score or more of Gus
toners waiting for their lunch.
Many of the customers walked
out too. and Winters immedi-
ately began recruiting scabs who
had to pass through a crowd of
sympathizerS.
After a few hours the helmet
ed cops were removed and less
startling-loOking ones put in
their places. Workers standing
around bOOed and jeered at the
police.
