LYMAN Ready To Confer.

Commenting upon the statement
issued by Judge Louis Brodsky after
Samuel Markewich, attorney for the
right wing of the Furriers' Union.
declined to confer on the suggestion
to lend gangsterism in the unions" +"
Louis Hyman, manager of the Joint
Board of the cloak and dressmakers.
which was represented at the con-
ference, said:
During this entire fight the re-
dictionaries have been charging that
the Joint Board was using gangsters,
but now Magistrate Brodsky has
provided an opportunity to let the
real facts be known, and has re-
quested both sides to confer with him
IN an effort to bring about an under
standing which will stop the use of
guerillas. 1t is easy to see how false
the charges We're.
Both Joint Boards There.
"The two Joint Boards 1.-THE fur
riers' and the cloak and dressmak-
ers), went to the conference. We
were glad of the opportunity to do
so, for we never did employ gang
stefs and do not employ them now.
The International, knowing well that
they have been hiring professional
sluggers, have been defending them
in the courts, have been furnishing
the high balls required for these
thugs with long criminal records, did
not dare to go before Judge Brodsky.
Same Old Excuse.
They know too well that they cam
not face these facts. Consequently
they have fallen back upon their old
excuse, which they have been using
every time anybody has tried to get
real facts about this fight. They
have declared that they will not con-
fer with Communists. Such a weak
excuse will not conceal the truth
that the union-wreckers refused to
attend the conference because they
knew they were guilty of Magistrate
Brodsky's charges"

Even ROsalsky's
Jury Acquits
ROhr
Garment Maker Is Cleared
Of Fake Charges

The reactionaries in the Interna-
tiOnal Ladies' Garment Workers
Union, who are working zealOusIy
with the New York police in an eff
fort to frame up active members of
the Joint Board of the. cloak and
dressmakers, received a severe blow
when a jury sitting in Judge ROsal-
sky's court yesterday found Solomon
ROhr, a member of Operators Local
2, not guilty of an alleged assault.
Rohr was charged with assaulting
Sam Gorelich, of 90 E. 10th St., an
employer, on December 2 during the
general cloak strike. He told clear
and convincing story on the witness
stand, relating how he had discov-
cred that Gorelich was using scabs
and had secured a promise from him
to stop employing them, promise
which Gorelich later broke.
Proves Innocence.
He was able to prove that he was
innocent of the charge of assault,
which he declared the boss had
framed against him because of his
activities in discovering the scabbing.
1t was also shown that Rohr was in
an attorneys office at the time the
assault was said to have been made.
Hook Up Sigman.
Further evidence of the close con-
nection of the International with both
the employers and the police is in
ereasing each day. Yesterday an at
torney for the International appeared
in Jefferson Market court to press
charges brought by one of the bosses
of the Edelson Dress Shop, 48 w.
10th St., against Sam Hecht, of the
Joint Board, who went to the shop to
call its workers to a meeting.
As soon as the boss saw Hecht he
called for the police, who arrested
him on a charge of disorderly con-
duct. When his case was called be-
fore Magistrate Brodsky he found
attorneys for Sigman's union push
ing an additional charge of mali
cious mischief" against him, alleging
that he had destroyed property al
though he had not even entered the
Shop.
Sigman's Lawyer Vicious.
When Judge Brodsky refused to al
low this charge, Sigman's lawyer
argued for "long sentence" and
finally succeeded in drawing down
fol this worker a three-day sentence
in the workhouse.
