ABRAM PREISKEL.,
.PASSAIC CLUBDER
is BOOMERANGED
Knocked Out of office
By Own Tactics
By ART SHIELDS
Federated Press

PASSAIC, N. J. (FP)-Rap, rap,
the policemen's clubs were tapping
on the skulls of textile strikers dur
ing the long historic struggle of Pas
sale in 1926. And with every rap the
police were knocking out the chances
Of their boss, Abram Preiskel, for re-
election as Commissioner Of Public
Safety.
AT the city election May 10, Preis-
KEEL was the only commissioner to lose
his job. He fell below the lowest of
the five winners by 222 votes, getting
6,726, to his rivals 6,948.
1t was the defeat of an old tyrant
of the town. Preiskel broke a spon-
taneous strike Of the textile workers
in 1919 with arrest and clubbings.
And in the two years that followed,
when the Amalgamated Textile Work
ers' Union was in the field his coppers
locked up hall doors. One night in
1920 Lewis Gannett, Norman Thomas
and Harry Ward read the Constitu-
ton to each other by candle light at
a test free speech meeting staged
by the American Civil Liberties
Union. Preiskel had driven away the
audience and switched off the lights.

Humane Laws of the
Soviet Union Pension
Workers at Fifty-twO

MOSCOW.--At the age of So a per-
sons useful life is officially finished
in the Soviet Union. So says the
State insurance and social pension
statute, which makes workers eligible
for a State pension when they have
passed their fifty-second birthday, If
they have already completed at least
seven years of work.
The pension applies to workers Of
every kind. Every employer, whether
housewife hiring servant, or the
State employing thousands Of office
workers and factory hands, must pay
q monthly social insurance, premium
ranging upward from 16 per cent of
the salary each month. The so-called
old age pension becoming effective at
the age of SO applies to everybody
who earns a wage. The pension is
calculated ON the salary earned in
he last year.

zARITSKY BACK
IN PRESIDENCY
OF CAP UNION
Denounced by Feingold
AS GUTTER

Max Zaritsl6y, former president
and vice president of the Cloth Cap,
Hat and Millinery Workers Interna-
tional Union, and erstwhile insurance
agent and employee of the Jewish
Daily Forward, was yesterday elected
president of the union once more by
the delegates to the 18th convention,
meeting in Beethoven Hall.
Zaritsky had been serving as per-
manent chairman of the convention,
and in allowing himself to be nomin-
ated for the presidency he declared
the capmakers' union was "the only
place he felt at home" This senti-
mental return of the prodigal did not
rouse much sympathy in those dele
gates who remembered that Zaritsky
had refused to return to the union
when it was preparing for a general
strike for the 40-hour week, and when
his help was much needed.
l. Feingold of st. Louis stated that
ain my opinion, due to all Of his
statements and actions he has shown
himself to be physically and morally
unfit to lead the organization"
Zaritsky A Gutter.
M. Golden, delegate from Local
AZ, declared that Zaritsky was "a
gutter at the time when the union
needed him most"
In spite of this opposition, Zaritsky
received 81 votes; Feingold had IS
votes and delegates refrained from
voting.
The secretary-treasurer, M. Zuck-
erman, rendered his resignation, but
the convention insisted that he ac-
cept reelection until the General
Executive Board appointed someone
to take his place. Objections were
raised by some delegates, and J. Mil
Ter of Boston was nominated; but the
original motion passed.
Members reelected to the General
Executive Board were S. Hershkow-
itz, A. Mendolowitz, A. Rose, j.
Roberts, A. Weingarten, 1. H. Gold
berg. From out-of-town were S.
Lisitzky from Chicago, M. Lenoff
from Philadelphia; H. Gordon from
Twin Cities; H. Saltzberg from Can
ada. Two extra delegates, Lucy OPP
penheim and Max Goldman. Frater-
nal delegate to the Hatters' Conven-
ton, j. Roberts.
The entire session yesterday was
devoted to the election of officers.
The convention closed last night with
a supper given to the delegates at
union headquarters in Beethoven
Hall.

Foes of SacccO, Vanzetti
Heap Lies On Fuller

Continued from Page One)
the efforts of these assiduous forces
have been accompanied with utmost
secrecy. Without fanfares or public
attention, they have been ferreting
out new sources of perjury, prejudice
and hate against the radicals. Their
evidence, such as it is, is accommodating
in a great sheaf of affidavits and
statements upon which no publicity
has been sought.
Today a portion Of their evidence"
lies upon the desk of Governor Full
Ter. He is reading it, probably being
slowly poisoned by the insidious hints
and rumors, dignified by supporting
affidavits purchased at so much an
oath.
Attorney William G. Thompson
was closeted with the governor yes
terday for nearly an hour. He is
understood to have requested the
privilege Of looking at this new evil
dence. Neither he nor the governor
would discuss the outcome of the ses-
sion.
The particular danger of this new
mass of accusations, falsehoods and
insinuations against Sacco and Van
zetti lies in The extra-judicial nature
of the entire investigation being pur-
sued by Governor Fuller. There will
be no challenging of these affidavits,
no cross-examination of the men and
women who swore to them, no oppor-
tunity to show their falsity.
Unlike the great pile Of new evil
dence collected by the defense, which
has been given to the world as soon
as it was prepared, the material be-
ing gathered by the foes Of the two
Italian anarchists is being guarded
from publicity with utmost care.
The defense is utterly in the dark
as to the nature Of the new attack
upon the principals of the world-fa-
nous case.
Workers the world over must con-
tinue their insistent demands for the
freedom of Sacco and Van2etti. The
emergency Of the present situation
calls for the most aggressive, mill
tant activity on the part of labor.
Sacco-Vanzetti conferences in every
state and city to mobolize labor and
progressive strength are urgently
needed.

MANEUvERS TO
TEST DEFENSE
FROM BRITISH
Elaborate War Game
On New England Coast

"War" has been declared and next
week a decisive "battle" will be
fought off the coast of New England.
Crack divisions Of regular United
States army troops are today con-
centrating Somewhere in New Eng
land" preparing to resist an invasion
from the sea. They will have the as
sistance of harbor ships, long range
fort guns and aircraft.
At dawn Monday, the powerful
American fleet of 1877 vessels and
10000 sailors will steam out of New
York harbor, where they are now
stationed, for the "war area" and
soon will strike-with all its re-
sources-at the southeast coast of
New England.
1t viii be the annual joint army
navy war maneuvers, to take place
in the vicinity of Newport, r. l., and
last from May Is to May 81.
British Fleet In Attack.
The contending forces represent the
attacking British fleet and the Amer
lean defenders Of the whole new Eng
land coastline.
For the purpose of the maneuvers,
the "war" is now actually in pro-
gress-has been, in fact, for several
months. 1t has now reached the de-
cisive stage. The American land
forces have theoretically denied adj
vance into Yankee territory. But the
British fleet has recently gained con-
troll of the north Atlantic and is in a
strategic position to strike.
British Try Landing.
So, everything is ready for an at
tack-the big battle is imminent.
Can the British fleet land marines
on the New England coast? The
fleet is practically within striking dis
lance to make the attempt. Landing
of the marines would tend to draw
the American forces from what might
prove to be the main battle front.
Such a thrust from the sea also
offers a tempting objective because
of the densely populated and well
equipped industrial centers in New
England. Then, too, the alternative
detectives of reaching New York City
by overland operations or by cutting
off New England from other Ameri-
can territory make probable an at
tempted landing on the southeast
coast of New England.

WigmOre, SaCCO Foe,
Was Red Batter in
Post War Frenzy

BOSTON, May 12.-Dean John H.
Wigmore, of Northwestern Univer-
sity Law School at Chicago, is a very
bitter opponent Of Sacco and Van
zetti. And now a reason appears.
Following his second attack on Pro-
fessor Felix Frankfurter of Harvard,
for the latter's support of the two
Italian radicals, the Federated Press
looked up Wigmore's record.
1t found that the dean had himself
been somewhat involved in the red
batting campaign Of 1920 that pre-
coded the arrest of Sacco and Van
zetti. And A. Mitchell Palmer, the
author of the Palmer "Red Raids"
spoke in high terms of Wigmore at
a congressional hearing in May, 1920.
The Encouragement was testify
ing at congressional hearing into
charges that had been made against
Louis F. Post, the liberal assistant
secretary of the department of labor
under William 3. Wilson. A few days
before the anarchist Salsedo had been
murdered and Sacco and Vanzetti ar
rested. Palmer praised Wigmore's
views on free speech.
Freedom Of Speech or Freedom Of
Thuggery," was the title of one of
Wigmore's articles which the attorney
general admired. 1t appeared in the
Illinois Law Journal, March, 1920, and
was violent attack on the advocates
of freedom of speech as revolutionists

documents with which they will seek
to convince the British petty bour-
geoisie that the government in bring

be a letter of instructions from
Gregory Zinoviev, then president of

ting the Communist Party of Great
Britain to organize a revolt in Eng

Ramsay Macdonald, labor premier
who at first accepted the faxed letter
as genuine, the tories succeeded in
arousing enough red hysteria to
enable them to carry the election. An
official trade union committee after
wards branded it palpable forgery.
1t is also quite evident that the
tories are doing their best to goad
the Soviet Union into breaking off
