NEW YORK.—In the effort to break the militant strike of the Bronx fish workers by the injunction, the Tammany government co-operating with the fish bosses, has arrested eight fish workers on the picket line today and charged them with violating the injunction. Kushner and Smithline were arrested while picketing at 941 East 180th St., Isidor Cohen at a fish store on Jennings St. and the other workers on Bathgate Ave. The Food Workers Industrial Union calls upon the working class public in the Bronx to support the fish strike by fraternizing only those stores which have signed up with the union.

The tie-up of the bosses and the Tammany courts and judges with notorious racketeers is clearly shown in the case of this injunction. The influence of Dopey Benny, a gangster who heads a racketeering outfit, was used by Himmerman, organizer of the Fish Dealers' Association, which obtained the Injunction against the fish strikers.

The Food Workers' Industrial Union is calling a conference of workers' organizations to mobilize the working class to lay plans for a smashing anti-injunction fight which will make the injunction a dead letter. The Smash-the-Injunction Conference which has been endorsed by the Trade Union Unity Council will take place next Friday evening, Jan. 29th, at 7:30 p. m. at the headquarters of the Union, 5 East 19th Street Workers' organizations are urged to send delegates to this conference
