against him since 1916, when for
union activities, in his fight for ANAL

firm. Apparently it has put him in
bad now with the Levin dynasty.
Sam Levin and his crowd have con-
tinually spread the rumor that the
suspended" members don't want
work and even refuse it when offered.
The above nails that lie, as does the
new attempt, tried yesterday, to pre-
vent the suspended members from
even coming to the employment Of
fee.
The Abe cahan-HilIman-LevIn
Espionage Act
Helen Kaplan, was instructed by
her local to apply for work. Yesterday
in the employment Office the other
members gathered around her wishing
to discuss the discrimination practised
against the left wing and, apparently
not conceiving that the officials have
passed little private espionage act,
wished to talk with her about the
class struggle in generalJ
Quite a crowd of union members
were gathered, when Charles Burr,
financial secretary of the joint board,
called her aside and told her You'll
have to leave this place."
"Why?" asked Helne Kaplan, as the
furtive and mysterious air of Burr

"But, what's the difference be-

Sam Levin, lord high executioner,
arrived, wearing his medal of dishonor
presented by the Polish government
for loyal services rendered.
Said Levin: "Come along to my Of
fee, want to talk with you"
Helen Kaplan protested that she
could be talked to right where she
was. That's it," cried a business
agent gangster, "she wants to talk
in front of the people here"
"But They Feared the Multitude"
Levin then ordered her to leave the
office and told her that she was not
allowed there by his orders. "You
register, and we will notify you when
to come for work"
Kaplan stood her ground. That's
