BOSTON, Mar. 14.-Dr. Ossian H.
Sweet, his brother Henry Sweet and
Leonard Morse are the first of II CO.
defendants to get separate new trials
for the alleged shooting of Leon Bret
ner, one of the hoodlums that was in
the party that stoned and fired at the
home of DR.. Sweet. These three de-
PENDANTS will face a recorders court

cutor's office.
Try to Railroad Three.
The other eight co-defendants will
not be tried until the cases of these
three are disposed of. The prose
cutor declares that it has little against
the other eight and as most of its
evidence was against the three to be
tried tomorrow, they were granted
separate trials.
When the case was first tried be-
fore a jury on Nov. q, 1926, and an
attempt made by the prosecuting at
torney to railroad the IL to Jail, the
jury after 46 hours of disagreement
was discharged and a new trial given
the defendants. The IL are also facing
charge of assault with intent to kill
Eric Haughberg, one of the hoodlums
that was also in the attacking party.
Khan For Conviction.
All attempts are being made by the
khan elements to convict these Neg
roes with the intention of thus ter
rorizing those Negroes that are at
tempting to move out of the BLACK
belt, where housing conditions are
the worst imaginable and where the
death rate is two to three times that
in the white districts, into better

New York Commissioner Shows Solidarity
With Textile Mill Owners by Arresting
Thirty-Three Passaic Tag-Day Workers

NEW YORK CITY, March IA
Thirty-three Passaic textile strikers
and sympathizers were arrested here
today for attempting to hold tag day
demonstration for the purpose of col
lecting funds for the aid of the Pas
sale workers. Despite the persistent
refusal Of Bird S. Coler, New York's
commissioner of public welfare, to
grant permit to solicit funds, a
couple of hundred strikers arrived in
New York from across the river and
began carrying on very successful
drive, which netted them few hun
dreds Of dollars.
Coler had instructed his police to
arrest anyone who did this work with
out permit. and thirty-three OF the
taggers were picked up and brought
into the court OF Magistrate Henry
M. r. Goodman, on the west side.
Goodman, expressing his solidarity
with the mill owners In New Jersey,
gave them all suspended sentences
and demanded that they leave New
York forthwith.
The international Labor Defense,
however, announces that II will con.
tinue to raise money for the defense
Of the striking textile workers. It's

BRITISH LABOR
WILL AID COAL
MINERS IN STRIKE
Railroad Unions Ready
to Aid COaIdiggers
By LELAND oLDs, Federated Press.

BY LELAND OLDS, Federated Press.
The solid front with which British
labor opposed the attack on the coal
miners still holds. Repeated attempts
of the owning class to split it during
the months industrial truce failed.
British capital must fight the entire
trade union movement if it renews
the attempt to lower miners living
standards when the government sub
sidy expires May 1.
This is the meat of joint state
ment issued by the special industrial
committee of the British Trades
Union congress and a subcommittee
of the miner executive.
Against Worsening of Conditions.
1.-THE committees" the statement
says, gave full consideration to the
possibility Of a crisis arising in con.
nection with the mining situation.
The attitude of the trade union move
ment was made perfectly clear last
July, namely, that it would stand firm
ly and unitedly against any attempt
further to degrade the standard of
life in the coal fields. There was to
be no reduction of wages, no increase
in working hours, and no interference
with the principle of national agree
ments.
This is the position Of the trade
union movement today. The two COM
mittees are awaiting the report of the
coal commission, and will meet again
jointly specially to consider the re-
port as soon as it is available"
Rail Labor Backs Miners.
Railroad workers are standing firm
ly behind the miners. c. T. Cramp of
the National Union of Railwaymen
says, 81 am certain that l speak with
the approval of the great mass of rail
waymen throughout this country
when l say that if any attempt is
made to bring down the remuneration
Of the miners, as was done last July
the same resistance will be shown
again by the railwaymen as was
shown then"
When the union order to stop all
movement of coal was issued last
July the question asked by the rank
and file railroaders was simply, docs
the order include all fuels, coal sub
stitutes as well as the actual product
# the mines?" There was no question
about the mems determination to cut
off the power which drives English
industry. This made premier Baldwin
back down.

LABORERS and
PAINTERS STRIKE
STILL CONTINUES
Many Contractors Grant
Union Demands
Especial to The Daily workerl

CLEVELAND, March H. - The
strike of the painters and building
laborers which has tied up opera
tions on big buildings is still in force.
This is true in spite of the fact that
Mr.. Carroll, secretary of the Building
Trades Employees Association, carries
on campaign declaring the building
laborers Of Cleveland are overpaid
and are getting wages second only to
those paid in New York City.
Mr.. Carroll does not'heed the fact
that the workers of Cleveland are
speeded up and that which with their
supposedly high wage of 81 an hour,
would not even be earning what gov
eminent statistics declare is neces-
sary as a standard of living in the
United States.
The laborers work only 200 days a
years if fully employed, and this
would give them just $1,000 a year,
whereas government bureaus declare
that the minimum standard of decent
living in this country, requires $500
a year.
The painters are practically 100
per cent organized ~ Cleveland. 1t
is claimed that wages for painters in
Cleveland are 7.3 per cent above the
average for the IL largest cities of
the country, and building costs are
81 per cent above the average for
those cities. Detroit, on the other
hand, an open shop city, pays wages
5 per cent below the average of the
IL cities and building costs are 1874
per cent above the average for the IL
cities.
The independent contractors are
signing up more and more every day
with the painters but the work on
the Union Depot, and Telephone
Building is at standstill and will
remain so despite the barrage Of pro-
paganda that the open shoppers are
carrying on to induce the men to re.
turn to work.

HAITI UP IN SENATE AGAIN
Report on Conditions There
Buried in Committee
Especial to The Daily WOrkerl

WASHINGTON, d. c., March IA
A new investigation on the occupa-
ton of Haiti by American troops in
the interests of the National City
Bank, which manufactures revolu-
lions and buys specializing officials
by turns, is foreseen as a result of a
memorandum which Senator King at
tempted to introduce on the question
of Haiti written by Percival Thoby,
former Haitian charge d'affaires at
Washington, the representative here
of the Patriotic Union of Haiti.
King wished to introduce the memo
randum into the Senate record, but
it was refused on a technical ground.
Two reports on conditions in Haiti,
offered by Senator Oddie, were read
into the record, and later the docu-
ment of King to the committee on
foreign relations, which, under Bo-
rah's leadership, may begin a new in
vestigation which will end like those
previous; with nothing but continued
subjections for the Haitians.

Police Arrest Fur Pickets.

NEW YORK, March a. Interna.
tional Fur Workers president, Oscar
Shachtman, is making an investigat-
ing tour to forestall attempts of New
York fur manufacturers now tied up
by strike to have their work done in
other cities. l. Winnick, vice-presi-
dent, heads the union in Shachtman's
absence. While mass picketing of fur
shops resulted in no arrests, subse-
quent small groups of pickets in the
strike of 10000 New York workers
have been interfered with by police.
The courts usually dismiss the pickets
as fast as police bring them in, tho
two workers are held on $500 bail for
disorderly conduct.

200 Seek Settlement.

over two hundred manufacturers
have applied for a settlement and
their applications are being considered,
while % shops have already settled
with the union. Many manufacturers
have broken away from the Fur Man
ufacturers' Association and are ap-
plying to the union for a settlement.
They claim that the policy of Samuels
will ruin their established business.
In the ranks Of the manufacturers
things are not so pleasant. A strong
current of dissatisfaction with the
leadership Of Samuels is permeating
the association. Many members of
the association want a settlement with
the union, but Samuels and few 9TH
ers are holding them back. The asso-
citation was recognized in groups of
so manufacturers with one appointed
as captain of the groups.
Reports are that the reason why the
manufacturers reorganized the asso-
citation of the fur manufacturers is to
prevent the current of dissatisfaction
with the leadership from growing
stronger. Despite this move the dis
satisfaction grows and many manu-
facturers claim that they cannot hold
out any longer and are ready to break
with Samuels.

Police AND
JUDGES serve
FUR BOSSES
Manufacturer Assaults
Picket; Is Freed

NEW YORK, March IA The
Judges and the police force Of New
York City are very busy serving the
fur manufacturers In every way, ar
resting and imposing heavy fines on
the strikers. The workers are swoop-
ed upon by the police, when they are
peacefully pIeketlng the shops, pack
ed into a police patrol wagon and
brought to court. Here heavy fine
is imposed on the strikers without
questioning.
Judge Goodman, son-in-law Of
Friedman of Friedman and Hershko-
witt. one Of largest fur manufacturers
in New York, has proven that he is
serving the fur manufacturers Loyalty
by imposing heavy fines on strikers
and dismissing manufacturers, who
assault workers with blackjacks,
knives and leadpipes.
When A. Glantzman, fur operator
and Jack Valdez, fur cutter, were
walking on Seventh street and Sixth
avenue to the hall after they had done
picket duty, they were approached by
A. Abrams, a manufacturer, and his
five sons. These bosses began to beat
Glantzman and Valdez Glantzman
ran to a policeman and had them ar
rested for assault. When they were
brought to police headquarters the
police found in their possession a few
revolvers, blackjacks and a piece of
lead pipe. When they were brought
to court they were put under bail of
$4,000 apiece for carrying concealed
weapons.
When the case came up before
Judge Goodman he dismissed the case,
despite the heavy charges that were
made against them and evidence
enough to convict them for a few
years Imprisonment. When a striker
comes up before Judge Goodman he is
not so lenient with him as he is with
the manufacturers.

Defensive Greatness of
Pirate Star Overlooked

Most of the fast youngsters who
come into the big leagues are weak
hitters. About one of these speed
marvels in 20 gets into the 300 class.
Hazen Cuyler was an exception. He
learned to play ball in a north Mich
igan industrial league and he played
SO well that he came straight into
the majors from Class B when only
nineteen.
Barney Dreyfus farmed him out q
couple Of seasons, one in Charleston
and the next in Nashville. As semi
pro Cuyler was noted for his speed
and his fine fielding. But his four
home runs delivered toward the close
of the industrial league season had
much to do with bringing the cham
pionship to his team and more to do
with bringing him within the range
of the Dreyfus visien.
But even with his fine Southern
league record in 1923, Cuyler was
more notable in his defense than In
his attack. In his two National
league seasons, however, few fans
think of his fielding skill, nor is
there much comment on his speed.
All the talk Is of his deadly bat.

at is mistaken idea that the only
man who needs exercise is the office
man." he continued. "And that is the
reason why, on the golf links, you
will find mechanics today. The d.
version from their usual interests is
as good for them as if they actually
needed the exercise to keep fit physi-
ically. The only difference between
them and the Office man is that the
mental relaxation Of golf or rowing
or fishing or any other physical exer-
else gives them a fresh atmosphere.

BALL SEASON rs
MUCH TOO LONG
Agitation for Worlds Series
in September.

Now that another worlds series has
ended amid rain, cold and shrunken
attendance figures, the agitation for a
shorter baseball season is being re-
vived. True, the magnates did lop six
days off the schedule last winter, but
the opponents of an October worlds
series are Unsuitable and demand a
series beginning September % or
Whereabouts.
The 1926 series had the same sour
ending as it's immediate predecessor.
The sixth and seventh games ran head
long into the Inevitable chill and rain
of October. The shortage of custom
ers was alarming. At the last game,
with the championship of the world
Ringing on every play, the crowd was
smaller than at many Sunday games
in July and August.
There is no serious reason why the
worlds series should not start on Sep
TENDER %. Reasons advanced by the
magnates are more or less trivial.
They hold that it is impossible to play
154 games in a shorter space of time
because Philadelphia, Boston and Pitts
burgh do not have Sunday baseball.
This can be overcome by sprinkling
the schedule with a few double-head-
ers.
The latest worlds series was de-
layed three days SO that the Phillies
and Braves might engage In three
breath-taking struggles. Both clubs
were rapidly going nowhere at all.
1t has become increasingly appar-
ent that the major leagues can play
154 games between April 10 and Sep
TENDER %. Nothing would be lost
financially, and the baseball clients
would be enabled to watch the worlds
series in warmth and comfort. Octo-
Der and November should be the ex-
elusive property Of football.
If the magnates insist on an Octo-
Der series they should rule the radio
from their parks. How many GUS
toners stayed away from the sixth
and seventh games because they could
recline at ease and have the worlds
series brought to their firesides?
