Here Tonight

On the eve of the gigantic bazaar
which the Joint Defense and Relief
Committee has arranged for to-
night at the Grand Central Pal
ace, to free those workers who are
still languishing behind iron bars and
to raise enough funds to bring back
the unions to their former strength,
the union betrayers are working hard
to put in Jail IS of the foremost lead
ers of the rank and file.
each time the Joint Defense has
arranged an affair for the purpose of
raising funds" says Ludwig Landy,
manager of the committee, "the pro-
vocateurs, with Sigman, McGrady and
Co. at their head, have schemed to
make the Joint Defense spend the
money on court proceedings and thus
prevent them from carrying on a
struggle to save the unions from de-
struction.
Fight is Planned.
"But this time it is the final act
of the treacherous drama which these
betrayers have been playing for the
past year. During the entire time of
the struggle they have tried desper-
ately to send to prison the leaders of
the rank and file of the Cloakmakers'
and Furriers' Unions. They have not
succeeded in this yet, nor will they
succeed. This time, as in every pre-
vious case, the Joint Defense and Re-
lief Committee will appeal the cases
and fight for freeing the leaders.
Already the newspapers speak o1
a $4,000 fine which may be imposed
If such an outrageous fine is i'm
posed the answer of the workers will
be to raise $4,000 in a single day!
In the event they should succeed in
sending to prison the best and most
loyal fighters for the workers it will
by no means end the struggle. 1t
will only mean more and harder sac
rifices on the part of those of us
who are still free.
"The years struggle mas coined

in doubt about the treachery of the

Survey Commission

What is announced as a wholesale
investigation of the New York State
Labor Department, but what appar-
emily is only an attack on the few
labor laws protecting the workers in
the state, has been launched by the
Industrial Survey Commission, body
organized for the purpose of inves-
tigating industrial conditions, in the
state.
Announcement has been made by
Henry D. Sayre, executive secretary
of the commission, that the whole
administration of the labor depart
ment may become the subject of in
quiry in view of the current revela-
tions of alleged irregularities in the
handling of compensation cases.
Charges False Claims.
Sayre charges that the commission
has uncovered a store of evidence of
false claims and deceptive data on the
part of claimants for compensation.
Certain attorneys acting as advisers
to these claimants may be prosecuted,
it was announced.
Independent Investigations reveal a
somewhat different picture. The In
dustrial Survey Commission was a
body formed by the Albany senate
and assembly about two years ago for
the purpose of investigating indus
