MeiIiff Sentenced
On Frame-up Which
Had No Witnesses

What is branded by dealers Iof the
New York Joint Board of the Fur
riers' Union as the most brazen
frame-up that has yet occurred since
the reactionary right wing forces first
launched their understanding drive,
is the arrest and conviction of Oscar
Meiliff who yesterday was given a
six months sentence in jefferson Mar
ket Court, by Judge Jesse Silverman.
Threatened.
Meiliff is the fur worker who early
this week was arrested by member
of the Industrial Squad on the word
of A. Wiener, a right winger, who
said he had been threatened with
assault" A technical charge of "at-
tempted assault" was made, but this
was changed yesterday to "disorderly
conduct"
On this charge, which usually
brings a small fine, Meiliff was SEN
fenced to six months altho he has no
record of previous arrests. There
were no witnesses against Meiliff.
Wiener's word was taken in the mat
ter, and this bare frame-up was ac-
cepted by the court.
The union will appeal the case i'm
mediately and hopes to have Meiliff
released very soon on bail.

convicted Of murder six years ago

"They will take them from their

NOTORIOUS SCAB
GETS ONE MORE
STRIKER JAILED
Rosalsky Sets $4,000
Antonofsky Bail

The same scab who caused the
frame-up of Joseph Goretzky, man.
ager of Local 35, yesterday brought
about the arrest of Jack Scharf on
the charge that he had committed
assault and larceny during the cloak
strike of last summer.
Like all these cases connected with
the strike, Scharf was arraigned be-
fore the notorious Judge Otto Rosal-
sky, who held him under $4,000 bail
for the grand jury.
Spent the Money.
Evidently the Judge was in a spend
ing mood yesterday-that is a mood
for spending the workers money
for he put Louis Antonofsky under
$4,000 when he came before the court
on the frame-up charge that he had
assaulted L. Katz, who made the COM
plant.
Antonofsky has been in the Tombs
for two weeks waiting for day when
it suited Judge Rosalsky to hear his
case. He is one of tho paroled cloak
strikers who was put into Jail by this
judge because Katz charged assault.
Antonofskv has witnesses, including
the boss and the workers in his shop.
that at the time Of the alleged assault
he was in the shop. This is verified
by his time card.
Still In Jail.
Twice Judge Rosalsky has refused
to listen to this testimony, and has
kept Antonofsky in Jail. Twice the
boss and the workers have come to
court, and spent their day waiting for
the judge to hear them.
Yesterday, when Antonofsky start
cd to tell his story, Judge Rosalsky
said he was once more too busy to
listen, and put him under heavy bail
to await further hearing after his
case Of alleged assault against Katz
is heard.
Ray Epstein and Berta Seid were
arrested yesterday for picketing, and
when arraigned in jefferson Market
Court, were placed under $500 bail
each and are to appear for further
hearing on April 18th and 18th.
Sardi. Selzman Arraigned.
In the Sixth Bronx District Court.
Anthony Sardi and Martin Selzman,
two cloakmakers were arraigned on
charges of assault made by two broth
ers William and Louis Lublellsky.
Sardi, who was arrested several
weeks was held under $1,000 bail;
Selzman was placed under $4,000 and
$4,000, on separate complaints made
by each brother. The case will be
heard on April 18th.
