This was decided at a conference

While the suit primarily affects
only the Amalgamated, President

Furriiers Beat
By Police
No Cause for Their Arrest
Says Magistrate BrOdsky

Declaring that there was "abso-
lutely no evidence warranting their
being arrested" Judge Brodsky, in
Jefferson Market Court yesterday re-
leased the IL fur workers who were
jailed after they had been beaten with
clubs and dragged through the streets
of the fur market by members of the
Industrial Squad of the police depart
ment who staged brutal program on
Tuesday.
Without directly reprimanding the
members of the police department
who are cooperating with the right
wing of the International in their eff
forts to terrorize the workers, Brod-
sky stated that he was amazed at the
arrest of these men and women.
Workers have right to congregate
in the fur market" he said, because
that is where they seek their employ
ment."
Those released BY Judge Brodsky
were Abe Berliner, Clara Meltzer,
Sam Gold, Willie Shiffrin, Leon Lit
vim, Herman Taft, Fanny Warshof-
sky, Anna Baras, harla Gajdushek,
Natty Mendel and Ray Epstein.
Beat Up Everybody.
Their arrests followed a brutal and
unprovoked attack upon hundreds of
fur workers by the industrial squad
when they left their shops for lunch
at noon Tuesday; workers in res
taurants eating their lunch were taken
out by the official thugs and beaten,
and told to get out OF this section
and never come back"
A general reign Of terror was in
stituted by the squad, who went thru
the fur market with men from the In
ternational Fur Workers Union Of

we're pointed out to them, they felled
them with their blackjacks.
Green Started 1t.
The attack on the fur workers came
on the heels Of the challenge against
the left wing delivered by President
William Green Of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor on Monday night, at
the meeting Of the Central Trades and
Labor Council, and the boast of Spe-
ciaI Organizer Edward f. McGrady
that he had been promised the full
cooperation of the police department"
in his work of smashing the Furriers'

Answer TO Green

The thousands of ClOakmakers,

jammed Cooper Union-seats, aisIes,

call of the Unity Committee of the
two New York Joint Boards were in
formed by the chairman, c. 5. Zim-
norman, that Frank p Walsh, the
noted attorney, had yesterday decided
20 become the lawyer for tho impris-
Oned cloakmakers and furriers.
Mr.. Walsh had conferred with New
York Joint Board leaders for the past
six weeks on this matter, and after
q thoro investigation mad decided the
widespread charges made by the re-
dictionary officials OF the Interna-
tional Furriers' Union and the Inter-
national Ladies' Garment Workers
Union were just a bogey raised to
frighten the general public.
Walsh has decided that as soon as
he finishes his present legal work,
said Zimmerman, he will take up the
task OF defending the workers who
were the victims Of Judge Otto
Rosalsky's severe sentences.
Tell of Aggressive Fight.
The enthusiasm which greeted this
announcement at the opening of the
meeting mounted steadily as one
speaker after another told of the ag-
gressive fight being carried on By
every branch of the united needle
trade forces. There was an ovation
for Louis Hyman, general manager
Of the New York Joint Board Of the
cloak and dressmakers, when he rose
to speak; there was another demon
stfation for Ben Gold. gesssal man
ager Of the furriers' Joint Board
when he arrived the platform Re
peated applause, shouts, and laughter
marked the various speeches and the
announcements Of contributions to
the defense fund.
Shop Chairmen Speak.
There were a number Of shop
chairmen who spoke of conditions in
the trades. Biro, chairman of the
Furriers' Council, NJ. Seidenberg.
chairman Of the J. Buchman shop
which sent e contribution Of S66.6O
for defense; NJ. Bleiman, |. Brauner.
chairman of the Cloakmakers' Shop
Chairnen's Council; S. Bisoff. chair
man Of the Lustig Shop; and B. Top
chik, who came from the Main Cloak
& Suit Shop in Passaic, N. J., with
a contribution of S1SO.2s.
In a resolution which was unani-
mously adopted by the shop chair
men, they pledged once again their
whole-hearted support to the Joint
Boards and urged all cloak and dress
makers to give half days pay-as
quickly as possible-for the Defense
Fund, and all fur workers to paw
their $25 tax which had been voted
several weeks ago to help carry on
the fight against the union-smashing

Big Battle
Events Prove Correctness Of
MiIitants' Warnings

WASHINGTON, March 23.-Gov-
ernment officials we're advised today
that John L. Lewis. president of the
United Mine Workers, has called the
Miners Policy Committee to meet in
indianapolis on March %, four days
before the expiration of the present
wage contract in the bituminOus
fields.
1t will be an extraordinary session
to map out the unions campaign of
attack during the suspension of min
ing operations in the central competi-
tive field of Illinois, Indiana, Ohio
and western Pennsylvania.
Admit Seriousness.
Lewis today refused to answer
questions concerning the prospects
for conferences with the operators
and concerning his call for meeting
Of the Miners policy Committee here
on March %.
Unofficially at the union headquar-
ters it was admitted that the union
faced the toughest fight of its his
tory in the impending shutdown of
April 1.
Long Strike.
One mine official pointed out that
there would be approximately ten
million tons more of coal on the sur
face when the mines shut down than
on any previous similar occasion in
the history Of the union. This huge
supply Of coal would prevent the
pinch Of the strike from being felt
for 80 days or longer, it was pointed
out.
Illinois Forsees Suspension.
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (FP)-The III
inois Miner, official organ of the Ill
inois Mine Workers, Dist. IL of the

"Rumors that a new wage confer
ence of the central competitive field
will be called in the near future per-
sist. 1t will be almost impossible
however to prevent a suspension of
work now, as less than two weeks re-
main before the contract expires"
The Ohio operators, according to
the Miner, have agreed to shut down
their mines April 1.

his policy is based on a theory that
there will be no strike this year, and
