Officer on ship
Brutality Beats a
Youthful Seaman
(By A Worker Correspondent.)

(By A Worker Correspondent
A young German seaman was bad
ly beaten yesterday aboard the s. S.
Weisse See, a tramp freighter, from
Bremen, lying outside Of Pier s,
Staten Island. The chief mate Of the
ship who was drunk at this time was
responsible for the atrocity.
Taken To Hospital.
The injuries resulting were SO
severe as to necessitate the removal
Of the young seaman to the hospital.
The crew was greatly incensed at the
attack on the part Of the officer, who
has been responsible for many such
brutal assaults upon number Of
seamen, has protested the case before
the German consul. AS yet, how
ever, no action has been Forthcoming
from this source. The fact that the
chief mate is the nephew Of the mas
ter of the ship probably has good
deal to do with this.
Ship A Disgrace.
The ship itself is a disgrace to the
marine industry. She is nine thou
sand ton rebuilt junk pile that has
been saved from the scrap heap Of
the world war. Formerly one of the
North German Lloyd cargo boats,
time and the strain of the war trade
have knocked her to a wrecked hulk.
Today she is absolutely unfit for any
maritime trade, and a floating grave
yard for the exploited seamen that
have to sail on her.
There is no doubt that as long as
the seamen are unorganized they will
have to sail on rotten ships and also
be the victims of brutal treatment at
the hands of their officers. With a
strong organization to protect their
interests it will be impossible for Of
ficers to treat sailors like dogs.

Wait an Hour.
More than an hour before Cooper
Union opened thousands Of workers
were outside waiting for admission.
AT $3.50 p. M. the doors were opened
and in less than fifteen minutes the
hall was filled to capacity, every seat
being taken, hundreds standing on
the stage or wherever they dould find
a bit Of room.
The thousands Of disappointed
workers were then told to go to the
other halls which were also quickly
filled.
Into Two Halls.
Manhattan Lyceum iamnled the
workers into their two halls, hundreds
having to stand. The same sight
could be seen at Webster Hall, Labor
Temple, the Church Of All Nations,
Stuyvesant Hall-ten all told.
At Cooper Union whenever the
name Of Gold was mentioned the as
sembled workers arouse as one, and
cheered, yelled, and appIauded. The
same enthusiastic demonstration TAX
ing place In the other nine halls.
Refers to Detective.
Irving Potash who presided at
Cooper Union referred to Detective
Greeve's testimony at the Mineola
trial. How, when questioned by the
defense lawyer he told that he pre-
pared his case against Gold and the
other officers Of the Furriers Joint
Board in the office of the right wing
controlled international headquarters.
Ben Gitlow said that "you show by
your applause, your demonstration
and outpouring tonight at these ten
large meetings that Gold is the lead
err of the union" This was created
by tremendous applause, the workers
rising from their seats and shouting
eve want Gold! We want Gold!"
The speakers told of the import
anee of mass picketing, the workers
at the ten meetings promising to be
on the picket line this morning. Col

MineOIa Trial Shows BasOff
Acted As Blackmailer

Last of the eleven defendants, Ben

Board of the Furriers' Union took the
stand late yesterday afternoon in the
trial being held in Mineola in connec-
ton with an alleged assault COM
mitted year ago in Rockville Cen
ter during the fur strike.
In low, calm voice Gold answered
the questions Of his attorney, Charles
Weeks, and in the same calm manner
he replied to the sarcastic, threaten
ing, provocative questioning of the
district attorney.
Startling revelations concerning the
Matchmaking tactics of the stool
pigeon Bernard Basoff, were given by
Gold in a matter-of-fact, business
like manner.

Rockefeller Sermon
In Contrast to Way
He Treats Strikers
(By Federated Pressl

NEW YORK, April 21.-Western
Maryland R.R. strikers again ask
John d. Rockefeller, Jr. to practice
what he breaches. The request is
made through the Brotherhood of
Firemen and Enginemen, whose MEM
bers have been locked out for two
years by the w. M. management,
because they asked for the same basic
wage rate that other roads were
paying.
RockefeIler's Sermon.
They call attention to a sermon the
junior Rockefeller delivered recently
from the pulpit of the Euclid Avenue
Baptist Church of Cleveland on the
relations that ought to prevail be-
tween capital and labor. The mag
nate said he was convinced that "em-
ployers and employees are partners,
not enemies; that their interests are
common, not opposed; that in the
long run the success of each is de-
pendent upon the success Of tn lie
other"
The "glaring inconsistency" be-
tween Rockefeller's pulpit policies
and the policies pursued by the
Western Maryland and management
is shown up.
Deaf to Appeal.
For two years the strikers made
appeal after appeal to Rockefeller,
then the largest stakeholder on the
line, says the brotherhood leader.
They received no satisfaction. Then
they appealed to the Federal Council
of Churches, the National Catholic
Welfare Conference and the Associa-
ton of American Rabbits, whose report
"substantiated every charge made
against the management"

Furriers of Levine's
Shop Take Collection
For the Defense Fund

The workers Of the j. Levine Fur
Company have answered the treason
of McGrady, Schachtman and Com
pany by making a shop collection Of
$500, as a start for the defense
fund.
AT the same time the following
resolution was adopted; eve, the
workers Of the j. Levine Fur Com
pany, seeing the treason of the lead
ers of the A. +. of l.. together with
the so-called officers of our Interna-
tional in making a united front with
the bosses and their gangsters
against us, and seeing Ben Gold and
ten other Of our most active union
workers framed up on a grave
charge, thru the provocations Of
these traitors, we express our disgust
with them and pledge ourselves to
stand solidly with the elected Joint
Boards in whom we have the fullest
confidence.
Gas an expression of our devotion
we send $500 to the Joint Defense
as our first contribution to help de-
fend our leaders. We call upon all
shops to follow our example. AL
though we were formally neutral,
many Of us even being inclined to the
right, we could no longer remain
silent seeing the activity Of these
traitors, and we hope soon to be able
to altogether rid our union of the
traitors and union smashers.

Mencher and Phillip to beat him up.
Creating Prejudice.
Gold positively denied this. The
story was significant not only be-
cause it would prejudice the jury
against Gold, but also against Men
cher and Lenhardt whose alibis in
connection with the day Of the raid,
April 10, 1927, have not been ques-
toned so far. Prejudice against
them must be created as much as
possible.
This has been the custom all dur
ing this trial; If there is no evidence
against the defendant, create a spe-
cial prejudice in the minds OF the
jurors. Judge Smith, petulant, bored,
at times wrathy and vicious, acts
as tho any testimony that showed
the innocence Of these workers was
a waste Of the courts time.
Wants Conviction.
Repeatedly he interrupts such tes-
timony; at times when the district
attorney raises an objection, the
judge says in long-suffering tone,
"Oh let them 60 on" His whole
attitude shows that he has a firm
conviction these men are guilty; why
should so much time be taken up
proving they are innocent 2" At one
Of Frank p. Walsh's objections
which he always overruled, almost.
