Of Furriers; Won't
Retry Cold, Shapiro

Nine fur workers unjustly con-
victed on April 20 on charges grow
ing out of the recent furriers' strike,
were taken before Judge Smith at
Mineola yesterday for sentence. On
motion of Prosecutor Edwards, inn
position of sentence was postponed
pending an attempt to frame up more
charges against them.
Ben Gold and Isidore Shapiro, chair
man and president of the Joint Board
Of the Furriers' Union, probably will
not be tried again following their re-
cent acquittal Of second degree as
sault charges. Without shred Of
evidence against them Gold and
Shapiro were freed and Edwards has
little liking for another effort to
railroad them.
Sentence will be imposed on the
nine convicted men next Thursday.

George F. Baker, $200,000,000.

Arthur Curtis James, S70,000,000.
Payne Whitney, $7O,000,000.
Amounts possessed by each indi-
vidual could only be estimated, be-
cause in some instances the exploiters
themselve could not estimate the ex-
act value of their holdings.
Of the ten stock and bond holders
listed as topping the roster Of the
city's aristocracy of wealth, five were
native born in New York City. The
others are men who came here after
sharp business practices elsewhere
had started them on TIE road to for
tune.
John d. Rockefeller, Jr., successor
through inheritance to the title of the
second richest man in America, is
native of Cleveland. The family for
tune had been we'll established by his
father when he attained his majority.
George F. Baker, listed as the city's
second wealthiest man, came here
from Troy, N. Y, during early man
hood, and Charles NJ. Schwab is a ma
tive of Williamsburg, Pa.
Edward S. Hardness, whose fortune
is, like that of the Rockefellers,
founded on Standard Oil, came from
Cleveland, and Sidney 2. Mitchell, Of
the General Electric, of whom the
average man has heard little, is from
Dadesville, Ala.
New Workers Inherited Theirs.
Vincent Aston, Mrs. L. II. Harri-
man, j. P. Morgan, Arthur c. James
and Payne Whitney were all born in
New York and inherited large por-
tons Of their wealth.
The fortune of George f. Baker,
much Of which has already been
turned over to his son, George +.
Baker, Jr., was accumulated through
the banking industry and through the
handling Of railroad and industrial
stocks for which Baker, senior, has
long been noted.

person knows, Cleaned up" in the

Injunction
Fails to Relieve
Plumber Lockout

An injunction has been issued by
Justice May on behalf of that part
of the 5000 locked out union plumb
ers employed in Queens county, re-
straining the Building Trades Associa-
ton from continuing its lockout.
Up to last night no effective re-
suits had been achieved by the in
junction, since the employers have
completely ignored it. The lockout
has not been called off, nor have
any of the men returned to work.
The injunction was issued to test
the legality of the lockout, but it is
obvious that no such test has to be
made, since the bosses are the actual
rulers who decide as to what is legal
and what is not. A hearing is to
be held tomorrow to take action on
the injunction and to decide the con-
tinuation of it.
The lockout against the New York
union plumbers was instituted by the
bosses to counterfeit the plumbers
strike in Brooklyn, now in its fifth
WICK. ne SbIlhtIo utildiiu a PAa
wage scale and five day work week.
The plumbers helpers, just recently
organized, showed solidarity with the
journeymen plumbers by coming out
with them in a solid body. Their
demands are recognition of their
newly formed organization and a SO
daily wage.
A meeting was called last night at
the Church of All Nations by Clar-
ence Millery president of the plumb
ers' helpers organization. A large
crowd attended and il was decided to
hold more special meetings in the
Bronx, Queens and Brooklyn. A
unanimous demand was made to con-
tinue the strike at all cost, even if
the journeymen plumbers should de-
eide to return to work.

Upon the success or failure of the

Chiang's strength, it is reported,

northern troops who have been incor-

forces, who are educated in the prin-

leaving him.
In an effort to forestall rebellion
Chang has been sending officers sus-

only to cut them off and leave them
to capture and certain death at the

4 believe that the revolutionary ma
tionalists in China are anti-foreign.
Nothing could be farther from the
truth. In fact there are many for
eigners cooperating with the Nation
alist revolutionists. What they are
against are the foreign tools of the
international plunderbund. The i'm
perialist powers are not particularly
concerned about shooting down Chi
nese revolutionists. They would just
as soon shoot down American or Brit
ish revolutionists fighting in China.
But they will shoot down anybody
who helps in the task of putting a
kink in the policy of imperialism in
China.
THE Hankow Government represents
the Chinese movement that aims to
unity China under one government.
Because it has not sold out to the for
eign imperialists the foreign CORES
pondents unite in maligning it. They
say it is anti-foreign. The object is,
of course, to prejudice the average
newspaper reader against Hankow.
But our readers know enough to dis
count everything that appears as news
in the capitalist press and to assume
that every bit of Chinese news sent
across by capitalist scribbler is false
until it is proven true by events.

so long ago certain theatres had q
rule which prevented bluejackets from
getting inside their portals. The idea
was that only waster would join the

Now, there is no nobler cause than i'm

now the white-haired boys of oul
