ed that Ben Gold, strike leader be per-
mitted to speak at a meeting called
by the international officials Of the
Furriers' Union. Hugh Frayne, New
York organizer of the A. F. OF l., who
had been invited here by the Internal
tional, was howled down by the crowd
because Gold was not permitted 70
come into the hall. The cry Of those
in he hall, LET Gold speak, we want
to hear Gold" was echoed BY the
thousand swarmina about the front
who could not gain entry. After ten
minutes Of this storm, Frayne gave up.
The meeting was disbanded, It was
great victory for the New York joint
board which is leading the present
strike Of $1,000 fur workers.
The meeting had been called by
President Schachtman and other DIN
GERS Of the national administration OF
the furriers' union as an opening
wedge to take the leadership of the
strike out Of the hands Of the progress
sive New York joint board. Gold, the
manager, and the other members OF
the Joint board had decided to go to
the meeting and make it a demonstra-
ton for the strike and to demand sup
port from the international.
Ganusters and Police.
At nine in the morning, the fur
workers began to gather at the hall.
By twelve noon there were four thou
sand present and at one thirty in the
afternoon this had swollen to seven
thousand. A large force of police was
on hand. Abraham Beckerman of the
Amalgamated Clothing Workers had
his gangsters on hand. Only small
part of the crowd could get into the
hall. The rest swarmed about the
doors in front. as-
When Gold came and attempted to
get into the hall, he was refused ad-
mission. Aaron Gross, vice-presi-
dent of the union was also not allowed
to go in. This started the demonstra-
ton. From all around came the de
mand to allow the two officials into
the hall.
Frayne Gives Up.
When the meeting was opened, the
demand for Gold picked up momentum.
The introduction of Organizer Frayne
only served to enhance the protests
of the crowd. He could make no head
way against the constant cries from
fhe audience and finally gave up the
