PAINTERS BEATEN
up BY POLICEMEN
AS They PICKET
Four Arrested and Held
Without Bail

Scores of striking painters were
brutally attacked by the police yester-
day when they broke up mass pick
citing demonstration in Brooklyn.
Many of the strikers are in serious
condition while four of them who
were arrested are being held without
bail for arraignment today.
At Ocean and Foster avenues the
police were most vicious. Using their
night sticks they struck left and
right, telling workers so quickly that
they piled one on top of the other.
When the butchery was over medical
attention was necessary for many Of
them.
At Brighton Beach the police again
got into action slugging many work
ers and arresting the four of them
who were nearest. The picketing
demonstration was held in front of
all Brooklyn jobs under the control
of the employers association.
At a meeting of the Painters
Union held Saturday at Lorraine
Hall, Broadway, Brooklyn, a motion
was passed that those employed in
independent shops should divide their
work with the strikers, also that all
those working must Immediately pay
their $5 tax. Those who do not pay
will not be allowed to return to work
Thursday morning.
The meeting also went on record
to continue the strike until victory
is achieved. 1t was pointed out that
the bosses are aided by the Building
, Trades Employers Association which
is doing its utmost to break the
strike.

USSR BARES new
WHITE CUARDIST
PLOT IN MOSCOW

MOSCOW, July 5.-That a Russian
white terrorist attempted to blow up
the headquarters of the political po-
lice on the night of June 3rd and
succeeded in killing one man and
wounding two others before she was
shot by Red Army soldiers at Smol-
ensk was revealed in an official COM
munique issued today.
The attempt to blow up the head
quarters is the latest of series of
terrorist attacks attempted by white
guards within the last few weeks. A
communique issued several weeks ago
cited evidence proving that white ter
rorists have attempted to assassinate
Stain, Bukharin and Krassin. A
bomb explosion in Leningrad, en-
gineered by white guards, supported,
it is said by British agents, killed
more than twenty persons short
time ago.
The plot to blow up the headquar-
by woman terrorist named Zakhart-
chenko Shultz, who entered the Soviet
Union from Finland. After the failure
of her plot to blow up the police head
quarters, she fled with two male COM
panions. The terrorists killed one man
and wounded two others for refusing
to assist them in escape. They were
finally shot by Red Army troops as
they were trying to escape after the

MINERS RANK AND

STRIKERS RELIEF
Armed Scabs Try Terror
On Spadra Min!rs

PITTSBURGH, Pa, July 5.-Fifty-
eight delegates representing thirty
four striking local unions of U. M.
w. A. District five met in conference
at the Walton Hall, Pittsburgh, Pa,
Friday, July 1st to consider the ques-
tion of raising funds for the relief
of the striking miners and their fam
lilies. The conference was called by
the Miners Relief Conference of AL
legheny Valley, an organization con-
sisting of a number of miners locals
of Sub-district Seven, District Five
U. M. W. A.
Struggle More Serious.
In district five the struggle be-
tween the miners and the coal opera
tors is assuming more and more
serious character. Iron fences are
being built by the companies thruout
the district in order to protect the
scabs. Evictions, shutting off of the
water supply and electricity, tearing
off of roofs of the houses in order to
compel the miners to move, are but
few instances of the bitterness with
which the coal companies are carrying
on their attacks against the miners
union. 1t is to be expected that the
struggle will last for some time. The
miners realize this and are preparing
for determined struggle to the fin
ish. Their splendid response to the
call for the Relief conference leaves
no doubt that the miners are ready
and are preparing for fight until
victory is won.
The conference organized itself into
permanent organization to be
known as "The Miners Relief Confer
ence of Western Pennsylvania" j" and
adopted an elaborate plan for raising
and distributing of relief. The head
quarters of the relief conference are
| to be established in Pittsburgh. Vic
tor Kamenovich of Daisytown was
elected secretary. An Executive Com
mittee of eight was elected and the
District Executive Board of the U
M. w. A. District Five was asked tc
add a representative to this COM
mittee.
Appeal to A. F. of l..
A resolution was adopted appealing
to President Green of the A. F. of L.
to levy an assessment on all mem
bers of the American Federation for
the purpose of supplying the striking
miners with relief.

STRIKERS RALLY
BY THOUSANDS IN
FURRIER MARKET
Sixty More Workers to
Be Tried Today

Thousands of fur workers poured
into the market yesterday morning
and held one of the largest demon
strations since the beginning of the
strike called to advance the wages
and working conditions of the union
lists that have, been periled by the
scab tactics of the right wing.
AS usual hundreds of police were
ON hand eager to provoke the peace
ful workers. Thirteen pickets were
arrested and fined So each by Mag
istrate Abraham Rosenbluth in JEFF
ferson Market Court.
Did Not Interfere With Traffic.
Jacob NJ Mandelbaum, attorney for
the strikers made the police who were
pressing the charges admit on the
witness stand that the workers were
not interfering with traffic, and that
the only reason that they were taken
into custody was because they were
picketing.
The arrested workers are Nathan
Meilef, Joseph Crane, Alexander
Brucker, Nathan Noodelman, Joseph
Fucker, Jacob Brafman, Dora Rub
instein, Rose Wortis, Anna Liebowitz,
Reba Dorm, Dora Halpern, Rose
Kuntes and Kate Talfman.
Snitkin Is Lawyer.
The case of the seven rig wing
gangsters who two weeks a u
tally cut up four fur pickett, .,e.e
postponed until Thursday when it
came up for hearing before Magis-
tsste sf}ssenbluth yesterday morning.
Former Judge Leonard A. Snitkin,
who was disbarred several years ago
and later resinstated, appeared as
their lawyer.
1t is the opinion Of many close OBJ
servers that Snitkin will attempt to
have the case squashed before it is
sent to a higher court. In this way
the story of the right wing practices
of engaging gangsters to cut and
brutally beat up strikers will not be
exposed to the light of day.
To Give Further Evidence.
At meeting of the general strike
committee held last night action was
taken to give to the city authorities
further proof of the unfair methods
used by the police department in their
arresting of pickets, when the only
'crime" they are guilty of is peace
full picketing, 1t was pointed out that
when picketing, every means is taken
not to interfere with the traffic, and
in that way give the police another
excuse for arresting them. But in

Tang Betrays Revolution.
Especial Cable to DAILY WORK Ell.

HANKOW, July 5.-General Tang
Sheng-chi, who directed the Nation
alist drive along the Hankow-Peki
railway in Honan Province last
month, has betrayed the Nationalist
Government and will join Generals
Feng Yu-hsiang and Chang Kai-shek
in their counter revolutionary alli-
ance, it is said. He has left Hankow
for Changsha.
In counter-revolutionary telegram
to the Wuhan Government, General
Tang declares that he considers cor
rect the removal of all Communists
from power in Human and recon-
mended to the Wuhan Government
that no Communists be put forward
by the Nationalist Government for
posts in the new Provincial Govern
ment or for the new committee of the
Kuomintang. Declaring that he
would permit "open labor unions,

he deems it necessary to reelect their
leaders.
Tang Won't Punish Traitor.
In conclusion General Tang states
that it is impossible" to severely
punish the officers responsible foI
the counter Revolutionary putsch in

In an appeal to the organized work.
ers Of the city by the Sacco-Vanzetti
Emergency Committee calling for a
united front in the one-hour general
strike and mass demonstration which
is to take place tomorrow the COM
mittee says:
Friends Of Sacco and Vanzetti must
not be lulled to sleep by the rumor
that is being cautiously circulated
that Governor Fuller, in whose hands
the final decision on these two mill
tant workers is placed, may commute
the death sentence to one of lifelong
Imprisonment.
This rumor is being spread so that
the enemies of Sacco and Vanzetti, the
Keymen of America and other labor
batting organizations, may feel out
the reaction to this plan among the
defenders of the two tortured work
ers. They want to know if the splen-
did show of working class solidarity
which has struck such heavy blows at
the Massachusetts legal hierarchy,
will succumb to the sop of a commu-
tation.
Must Be Freed.
We will not rest until these heroic
workers are set free and restored to-
their families and loved ones. Until
that time the fight must be waged re-
lentlessly.
The workers who have by their
great show of power and solidarity
prevented the execution of our brave
comrades must continue the fight for
their liberation with greater spirit and
more grim determination.
The hearts of the Massachusetts,
executioners have not softened with
kindness, and their desire TO murder
our comrades has not changed. They
are merely seeking for new methods
of torture.
Workers of New York; Do not
weaken at this critical moment. Agi-
tate for the immediate release of
Sacco and Vanzetti. Do not permit
the New England textile barons to
bury our comrades alive in a Massa-
chusetts bastle.
Support your comrades who have
been subjected to seven years of pri-
son torture, by downing tools at
o'clock sharp tomorrow. Go to Union
Square and join in the mass demon
stration for the liberation of capitalist
bloodlust."
