25, 50 and 75 Years Ago
November 27, 1992
NEW YORK — Workers at the STC Knitting Inc./Maxion Manufacturing Corp.’s
sweater factory in Queens began a strike shortly after the Immigration
and Naturalization Service raided the plant October 22 and arrested 10
workers. The owner of STC, Bill Mok, called the INS in response to the
successful organizing drive by the workers, who in September voted 36-10
to join the International Ladies’ Garment Workers’ Union Local 155.
Strikers explain in a fact sheet that the INS raid was only the most
recent attack by the company. In May the owner took away vacation and
holiday pay and medical insurance. He imposed a 49-hour workweek with no
overtime pay. In June, after workers began the union-organizing
campaign, the six members of the organizing committee were fired. All
won their jobs back.
November 27, 1967
PHILADELPHIA — Nov. 17 may well have been the most significant day in
the recent history of the Afro-American struggle here. At 10 a.m. over
five thousand Black students at a dozen Philadelphia high schools
marched out of their classrooms and began to converge on the board of
education headquarters. They were demanding Black control of the ghetto
schools.
Two hours later their peaceful rally was turned into a bloodbath as
hundreds of club-swinging police charged in and indiscriminately smashed
heads. Fifty-seven students were arrested, most of them under 18 years
old; many of the arrested had been brutally beaten, and most were denied
hospital treatment while in police custody. Injured who had not been
arrested were left lying on the ground at the scene of the police rampage.
November 28, 1942
During the same week that the American authorities clasped hands with
the French Quisling, Darlan, in Africa and sought collaboration with the
Fascist Franco in Spain, here in the United States they took the first
steps to suppress a bona-fide anti-fascist workers’ paper — The Militant.
Post Office authorities have struck at the mailing rights of The
Militant without even specifying which article or editorials are
objected to.
To cap these crimes, news of these suppressions has itself been
suppressed. The managers of the paper were not notified of the
suppressions and were informed of them only after they had inquired
concerning the non-delivery of the paper. None of the big capitalist
papers has published reports of this blow against the freedom of the press.
