SapiirO Attacked
During FOrd's
Raid on Jews
Don't Snicker," Says Editor,
Starting Campaign

DETROIT, March 21.-Aaron Sa-
piro, drew blood today in his million
dollar libel suit against Henry Ford.
The wheat king scored impressive
ly when he placed in evidence docu-
mentary evidence showing that the
Ford crusade against the Sapiro CO.
opeg etives" originated as cam
paign against the Jews. This was
the chief contention of Sapiro in his
libel suit.
Although Sapiro had announced
that he would temporarily abandon
the Jewish issue, the argument was
carly in the day brot around to it
again, as the central driving force of
Ford's campaign against the plain
tiff.
The evidence consisted of letter
written by H. w. Roland, an execu-
tive on Ford's Dearborn Independ-
ent, to Harry H. Dunn, who investi-
gated the cooperative movement for
the auto king and later wrote most
of the articles attacking Sapiro. The
letter showed that Dunn was origin
ally ordered to investigate "the jew
ish boys who are putting the works
on the farmers"
1t showed that the activities of
Bernard M. Baruch, New York cap
italist among the farmers had actu-
ally brought about the investigation
which led to the articles.
Ford's attorneys sought to block
all testimony on the letter, which
came into the trial while William j.
Cameron, editor of the Dearborn In
dependent, was on the witness stand.
Dunn Was FOrd's Writer.
Cameron testified that Dunn gath
cred the data on which the Sapiro at
tacks were based. He also said Dunn
had written the anti-Sapiro articles
under the "pen name" of Robert
Morgan.
The letter follows:
August 6, 1923.
Mr.. Harry H. Dunn, 27722 Prince
Street, Berkeley, Calf.
"My dear Mr.. Dunn:
Don't smoker when | tell you the
Jewish boys are putting the works
on the farmer. 1t began when Bar
ney Baruch first became interested
in Kansas. After Wilson left the
White House. Since then there has
been a great deal of the Jewish inter-
ested plight Of the farmer, especially
as to mortgaging their souls and
bodies through government agencies,
plus the various cooperative move
, ments.

PORTCHEsTER, N. Y, March 81.
Fifty fascists, leaders of the New
York organization Of the fascist
league of America are today nursing
bruises and wounds that they received
here yesterday when attempting to
break up a mass meeting called by
the Anti-Fascist League of North
America.
The fascists came here in automo-
biles and by trains from Rev York
with the intention Of beating up the
speakers, Ena Sormenti and Carlo
Tresca. and stopping the meeting. A
month ago when the fascists held a
meeting here and their speakers were
asked qustions, they answered that
eff the anti-fascists held a meeting
they would break it up" Yesterday
they attempted to fulfill their prom
Use, but failed miserably.
Sormenti Speaks.
The meeting was called for $3.50 p.
m. at Aviglionse Hail. When Sor-
menti and Tresca arrived there they
were met at the door by the local po-
lice and the New York fascist.
The meeting was opened by Nicola
Napoh, chairman, who introduced
Sormenti as the first speaker. Sor-
menti in his speech exposed the
fascists' plots both in Italy and in the
United States.
The fascists tried to interrupt Sor-
menti when he was speaking, but
when they saw that their tactics an
gered the assembled workers, they
ceased.
Search Workers.
Police stopped Sorrnenti in the mid
die of his speech and all the workers
present were searched for weapons by
order of the chief of police. One of
the anti-fascists was arrested at that
period, at the demand Of one Of Mus
solini's henchmen.
The next move by the fascists was
to try and throw bomb into the
hall. Again they were foiled, one Of
the spectators discovering the weapon
in time.
When the meeting ended the
fascists assembled outside of the hall
and waited for Sormenti and Tresca,
their plan being to assault them.
Sormenti and Tresca got into an auto
mobile to go to Yonkers where an
other anti-fascist meeting was in SEES
sion.
Attacked With Clubs.
Not being able to reach the auto
mobile, the enraged fascists started
to attack the Italian workers who
were then leaving the hall. They
struck the workers with blackjacks,
canes and clubs, also using knives.
Nine fascists and two anti-fascists
were arrested. Two were stabbed, one
anti-fascist being stabbed by the
blackshirts and one policeman being
stabbed by a fascist.
This is not the first time that the
fascists have attempted to break up
meetings. They used the same
methods in the Bronx and elsewhere
recently.
Very few fascists are found here,
the local Mussolinites having to de-
pend upon the New York organiza-
ton. The local leader Of the fascists
is DR.. Gaetano Ameronaco, who was
arrested here a month ago on the
charge Of forgery.
The local branch of the Anti-Fascist
Alliance was organized two months
ago by Ena Sormenti.
