Hershey Mob Uses Violence
To Dust Sit-Down Strikers

Hershey, Pa. (ILNs) Two or three
thousand farmers and non-union
workers smashed the sit-down strike
at the Hershey Chocolate Works with
blackjacks, pick handles and bull
whips. The sit-downers numbered
about 500. Of these, % were sent to
hospital, almost all the rest were
beaten to some extent, and union or
ganizers were run out Of town.
The farmers took a hand because
the strike had closed the market for
their milk.
Authorities made no attempt to pro
tect the strikers. No local police were
on hand, and state police did not ar
rive till the eviction, which took about
20 minutes, was over.

BLAMES COMPANY
And POLICE
For Fatal Riot i'm Shipyard
Strike

Philadelphia (ILNS)-The Della
ware county committee for civil lib
critics, composed of 38 prominent cit
liens of the community, has issued
a report placing the blame for a
fatal strike squarely on company
guards and the local police force.
The riot took place December IL,
1886, at the Chester yard of the Sun
Shipbuilding & Drydock Co, one of
the properties of the Pew family, sec
ond only to the MELONS in hereditary
control Of the public affairs Of Penn
sylvania. The committee hired a
trained investigator, Carr f. Will, to
investigate the matter. He inter
viewed John G. Pew, president Of the
company, other company officials, po-
lice, union leaders, strikers, nom
strikers, business men - everyone.
After two months of work, the COM
mittee reported in part as follows:
Evidence which he (the investiga-
tor) has collected points to the con-
clusion that this riot was precipitated
by concerted attack made upon a
peaceful picket line by an army of
workers organized and led by persons
in the employ Of the Sun Shipbuilding
& Drydock Co.
"It indicates further that the police
of the city of Chester participated in
the prearranged attack"
On the morning of the row, several
hundred strikebreakers trailed into
the plant after fire apparatus which
had been summoned by an alarm
turned in near the gate, charged by
many to be false alarm. From this
vantage point, the strikebreakers, led
by minor company officials, directly
attacked the picket line. A huge
force of police on hand made no eff
fort to stop this attack; but on the
contrary, threw tear gas and sicken-
ing gas bombs into the picket lines
One man died of his injuries and many
were hurt.
1t is considered significant that the
chief of police conferred with the
president of the company the night
before the row.

SHORTS

The Federal Reserve Board is TAX
ing measures which it hopes will end
the sit-down strike of the big banks
and insurance companies which are
higher interest rates.
The utilities sit-down strike against
the Wheeler holding company act
shows signs of disintegrating. Quite
a number Of the companies have aban-
doned the strike, and registered with
the SEC for employment. Another
Encouragement to these sit-downers is
that the supreme court has refused
them an injunction against the IVA
speed-up.
President Roosevelt has asked that
the CCC be made a permanent insti-
tuition. The CCC is one institution of
the New Deal which the bitterest re
dictionaries hesitate to challenge. II

manhood Of the nation, and should &c

Lansing, Mich. (ILNS)-Walter P.
Chrysler and John L. Lewis have
signed peace treaty running to
March 81, 1888. This settles the
Chrysler sit-down strike. Governor
Murphy, a few hours later, announc-
ed that the strike at the REQ plant,
also sit-down, which had been in
progress 28 days, had been settled in
3-hour conference with the Chrys-
Ter agreement as o basis. The ele-
ments of this agreement are as fol-
lows:
The Chrysler Corporation agrees to
bargain with the United Automobile
Workers of America as the agency
for all its members; not to interfere,
discriminate or in any way obstruct
or discourage membership in the
union, and not to aid, promote or
finance" any organization or group
like a company union.
The union agrees not to solicit mem
bership on the corporations plant or
time, and to use no coercion or intim-
idation. 1t will neither cause nor al
low any member of the union to take
part in any stoppage of work during
the term of the agreement.

The Accident Racket

While long suffering group of in
dustrialists and their employees are
steadily concentrating their forces for
a campaign to rid modern industry of
Old Man Accident, Industrial Enemy
No. / and the members of his cruel
gang, it is hard to put the finger
on him.
Like the brain of any racket, Old
Man Accident is elusive. He appears
simultaneously in many places and in
many forms, and the thoughtless and
careless are his easy prey. He may
never be rubbed out but his power
will be curbed when his gang is cor
rallied and exterminated. That is the
job of the safety advocates in every
plant, mill, workshop and factory in
Ohio.
If you desire to do something for q
worthwhile cause, spread the gospel
about the union label!

Only Owners Of Big Four Gain
By Huge Increase in Cigarette
Output, Sen. Wagner Shows

Washington, D. G. (ILNS)--In a
magnificent speech in the senate the
last day of March, Senator Robert F.
Wagner, purely as an incident to his
main subject, gave about the most
scathing presentation of the tactics
of the Big Four tobacco companies
that has been offered in many day.
Before reaching the part quoted
below, Senator Wagner had nailed
responsibility for sit-down strikes to
the doors of the federal courts, par
ticularly the supreme court, and the
big industrial corporations. He had
told of the enormous increase in in
dustrial output per worker; saying
that, taking industry as a whole, four
men today accomplish as much as five
men in 1929 Then:
machinery has always offered two
alternative prospects to the worker.
Placed at the service of the masses of
the people, it opens the way to un-
limited plenty and social security. If
made an instrument for the exploita-
ton of the masses, it means deep hui
man suffering accompanied by an un-
challenged and irresponsible pluto
cracy.
Points to Tobacco Industry
Which of these two alternatives is
to prevail in America rests upon
equality of bargaining power. 1t is
very easy to mistake the volume Of
talk for the volume of accomplish
ment.
1T is easy to fall into the delusion,
because of much discussion and few
dramatic experiences, that the mon
opoly Of capital has been succeeded
by monopoly of labor. Let us look
at the facts. They will demonstrate.
can ideal illustration is afforded by
the tobacco industry, which is manned
largely by unorganized workers.
Nineteen hundred and thirty-siX was
indeed banner year for that indus
try. The annual return on invested
capictal surpassed that of 1929. Profits
increased by 26 per cent over those OF
1895.
Big Production Increase
"At the present rate, 153,000,00C
cigars and cigarettes are manufac-
trred annually for every 100000
that were made in the period of 1929
-25.
but, despite this huge increase
of SO per cent in production, there
are now only 81 workers in the
industry for every 100 employed
in that earlier period.
HAS the employed tobacco worker
Of today benefited by this amazing
chronological advance? On the con
trary, the average full time employt
is receiving wage 20 per cent below
the 1925 level.

SUBMARINE D-1"
COMING TO. THE MD.
Sensational Picture To
Be Shown 3 Days, Be
ginning Thursday


Proclaimed as the greatest mo-
ton picture ever made with an
undersea boat as its subject and
locale, Submarine D-1" has been
booked as the feature attraction
at the Maryland Theatre, opening
next Thursday for a three day
showing.
1t is Warner Bros. melodrama
co-starring Pat O'Brien and Geo.
Brent, and featuring Wayne ("Kid
Galahad'') Morris. In the making
of it the United States Navy De-
partment deserves as much credit
as the movie folk, for it threw
open to the Warmers its submar-
inc establishments at San Diego,
lCocos Coco in the Panama Canal
Zone, and Newport, R. /.
The most modern of submarines
officially called the D-1 and also
bearing the title of Dolphin, was
used in all diving and surface-run-
ming scenes. 1t was impossible,
of course, In the limited aboard
a real submarine, to find room for
camera and light crews. So the
movie-makers built at the studio
a duplicate of the D-1, cut into ten
different sections, and outside the
ends of these sections the techni-
clans were able to operate their
apparatus for closeup shots.
The story of the D-1 was written
by Commander Frank Wead, u. S..
N, who was the author of Ceiling
Zero" and other stage and screen
hits. Technical advisors were
present at all times during the
making of the picture and guaran-
teed its authenticity.
Pat O'Brien and Wayne Morris
play a couple of young submarine
crewmen who have developed two
great inventions-a device to
shoot men safely to the oceans
surface if ship is sunk, and an
other device to raise the U4Boat
itself.
In the story the D-1 is rammed
and sunk during some war game
maneuVers and the boys inven-
lions get chance to show their
worth. They are successful in
saving the subs whole crew and
it's heroic commander.

Harmless Hunting
BY Clarence M. Lindsay

In the woods in winter,
When deep lies the snow
In the forest aisles, and
Brooks no longer flow;
Then l do my hunting,
But not with a gun!
No; follow signs which
Show which way has run.
Hardy forest jewellers,
Wandering through the wood.
Making tell-tale tracks while
Seeking for their food!
Here has raced weasel!
Here a rabbit sped!
Here the tiny deer-mouse
Skipped with noiseless tread!
Here some sly opossum
Left a curious trail!
Here the woodchuck foraged!
Yonder brushed a quail!
Really, there's more profit
And a lot more fun
Puzzling out these signs than
Stalking with gun.
Makers of artificial limbs, said
to be cashing in on the motor toll
might plow some of it back into
research. A synthetic brain, for
driving fools, is national need.
