was in the day before "high finance"
and Wall Street control of the neces-
sites of life. Those were the good
old days before there were 1000
millionaires in this land of the free
and the brave. These men sought a
practical method whereby in the event
of death, the dollars and cents value
of human life, might to some de-
gree be restored. Usually the bread
winners were the lives protected.
These men acted upon the most
human motives, instituting a mutual
system by means of which poor peo-
pie could, by the quickest and surest

death provision for those dependent
on them for support.

Strike Meeting Of
Plumbers Helpers
Votes to Continue

At packed meeting of plumbers
helpers held last night at Ace Hail.
1872 Claremont Ave, Brooklyn, a res
olution was adopted to continue their
strike even after the plumbers union
terminate their struggle, provided
that by that time the helpers have
not won their demands. The resolu-
ton also appeals to the plumbers not
to work with scab helpers.
Helpers Resolution.
The resolution reads as follows:
Whereas almost all of the jour-
neymen plumbers helpers working in
the jurisdiction of the U. A. Plumb
ers, Local /, are organized in the
American Association of Plumbers
Helpers, and
Whereas, we have decided. unani-
mously to strike in sympathy and
support of the mentioned U. A.
Plumbers, Local 1, and
Whereas, we have succeeded in
taking down every plumbers helper
with us, and
Whereas, we have also decided to
present our own demands to the Mas
ter Plumbers with request that
they meet committee of our organ
ization which they have not yet done.
Remain On Strike.
Therefore, be it resolved, that we
remain on strike, fighting for our
just demands and that we call upon
the U. A. Plumbers, Local /, not to
permit their men who are in settled
shops to work with scab helpers in
accordance with the principles and
tactics of the trade union movement"

Hungarian White
Terror May Kill

BUDAPEST, April 12.-Thirty-one
Communists and left wing leaders
face death today when they come up
before special court just Great
ed by the Horthy white terror. The
court has absolute power to pass a
death sentence which means that the
condemned person is hanged within
two hours.
Former Commissar Zoltan Szanto
and the thirty others on trial are
charged with merely distributing
Communist pamphlets.
Labor throughout Europe is watch
ing Hungary for the decision of the
court. Hungary's alliance with fascist
Italy and the brutal treatment ac-
corded to other critics of the Horthy
terror leave little hope for Szanto
and other leaders.

FUR UNION HEADS
IN COURT TODAY;
ARGUE FOR BAIL
McGrady Report Shows
Controls Few Members

The militant fur workers, who were
framed-up by the reactionaries of the
American Federation of Labor and
were denied bail when they appeared
for trial at Mineola, L. l., on Monday,
are still in the Nassau County Jail.
Arguments to Start.
Attorneys will argue today, before
the special term of the Supreme Court
in Brooklyn, whether Jude Smith of
Mineola shall be allowed to keep Ben
Gold, I. Shapiro, s. Mencher, Otto Len
hart, Joseph Weiss, Joseph Katz, Mar
tin Rosenberg, J. Schneider, Leo
Franklin and Maurice Maxim behind
prison bars before they have even been
tried.
Stay of Case.
The points to be arued by the fur
workers lawyers are not only the
granting of bail, but also the granting
of a stay of this case which would al
low for transfer from the prejudiced
Mineola court to the Supreme Court
in Brooklyn for trial.
If the stay is granted, the trial will
not take place for a week or more;
if it is not granted, as the Nassau
County distrirt attorney is urging, the
case may go to trial at Mineola i'm
mediately, beginning perhaps this af-
ternoon.
Reactioraries Lie.
BY their own statement issued to
the press yesterday, Edward F. Nc
Grady and other reactionary right
wing leaders of the A. F. of L. who
are trying to disrupt the New York
Joint Board of the Furriers' Union,
convicted themselves of lying persist
emily and generously.
The reactionary forces gave out a
list of 40 fur shops whose workers,
they say, have registered with the ''ten
cent" union, opened by the Interna-
tional Fur Workers Union in this city.
According to the records which are
on file in the office of the Joint Board,
the total number of fur workers en-
ployed in the shops named is exactly
73S.
none Win hlRnJ WlnRers.
The fact is that there are not even
73S workers registered with the In
ternational. Of the shops listed by the
right wing, one of the shops-with rs
workers-hss absolutely refused to
register; one other shop not only has
not registered but has signed resolu-
tion pledging it's loyalty to the JOINT
Board; and three other shops named
are on strike 100 per cent because
their bosses have tried to force reg
istration.
Commenting upon the riht wings
announcement, the New York Joint
Board Of the furriers said last night;
Announce Shops.
"For almost six weeks, ever since
they have begun to re-organize the
union, the federation has failed to
make public any sort of list of shops
that have registered with them. They
were evidently afraid lest they make
a very poor showing by making public
such list. Now, however, they have
been obliged to issue a list in order
to dispel the very strong belief that
the number of registered workers is
woefully negligible.
Foolish Move.
"By making public list Of shops,
the federation has obviously let the
cat out of the bag. Their own state
ment gives the lie to their claim that
they have registered 1000 fur work
ers. A thorough investigation shows
that the 49 shops listed by the fed
