would be to plead guilty. The story
Of how they were double-crossed and

"The whole incident served to pre-

PENDANTS, which resulted in the whole

every community seeks to attract to

"The next step for Sigman was to
make capital out of the situation. 70
him it was Of no Importance that
these workers carried responsibility
for the support Of families. He de-
luded himself into the belief that he
saw in the situation created by him
a new opportunity TO smash the
union.
by shouting loud and long he
hoped to create the impression that
the chosen leaders of the workers
were responsible for the heavy SEN
fences dealt out to the workers. BY
these tactics he hoped TO create con-
fusion in the ranks of the left.

Rosalsky Plays With

sick in bed and Antonofsky was
working in the shop Of Meyer Haus-
CT, 30 West 18th street.
Judge Wouldn't Listen.
When Antonofslly reported as
usual to Judge Rosalsky early last
week, the Judge said aha, you have
been getting into trouble again; well
back you go to Jail" Without listen
ing to a word Of explanation, Judge
Rosalsky sent him to the Tombs. He
appeared in court for a hearing on
Friday, and with him came his boss,
Meyer Hauser, and several workers
in the shop ready to testify that An
tonofsky had been at work at the
time Katz says he was attacked.
Hauser even has a time card TO prove
his statement.
POstpones Case.
But Judge Rosalsky, knowing that
the boss and the workers had come
especially to help release Antonofsky,
did not hear the case and postponed
it again until April 9Th. For whole
week longer Antonofsky is doomed to
sit in the Tombs awaiting the plea
sure Of this notorious anti Semitic,
anti-labor Judge. The workers can
not keep on losing a days work com
ing TO court to testify; the boss viii
not repeatedly appear and waste his
whole day trying to help Antonofsky.
Judge Rosalsky knows this, and per-
haps it accounts for his postpone
ment system.
Sigman Behind Rosalsky.
1t is reliably reported that this ac-
ton Of the Judge is contrary to the
recommendation of the probation of
ficer who wants Antonofsky given a
hearing and released. Judge Rosal-
sky is evidently determined to try to
break down the morale of this limo
cent worker. Perhaps Morris Sig
man, president Of the International
Ladies Garment Workers Union has
his eye on him because he has re-
fused to make one OF those frame-up
confessions against the Joint Board
leaders.

HEARING TODAY
FOR ARRESTED
KULOK PICKETS
Labor Defense Appears
In Two Strike Cases

The International Labor Defense
of New York was called upon for
help once again on Saturday when
three workers, picketing the shop of
M. Kulok at 80 Eldridge street, were
arrested without cause and taken to
the Clinton and Delaney street po-
lice station.
Those arrested were NJ. Levinson,
N. Steinberg and Lizzie Podolsky.
They were peacefully picketing the
KulolI shop which came out on strike
several weeks ago when several
workers were fined, and one was
taken off the job by the reactionary
leaders Of the Amalgamated Cloth
ing Workers Union, for attending a
meeting Of left wing needle trades
workers.
Continue Striking.
One set of workers after another
has struck in this shop because of
this discrimination against their fell
low workers, and the right wing
forces of the Amalgamated have
filled the shop with scab workers.
The three workers arrested on Sat
urday, at 3 O'Clock in the afternoon,
were released on $500 bail each, for
hearing this morning.
Defend Rose Pesnick.
On Saturday morning, the Inter
national Labor Defense appeared in
the West 9Th street court, Coney Is
land, to defend Rose Pesnick who
was arrested while picketing one of
the Monticello Dairy stores against
which 500 clerks are on strike in
Brooklyn.
Wanted 57rHOur Week.
After considerable effort on the
part of the prosecution to send Rose
Pesnick to the workhouse for her
"crime" of picketing, she was finally
given a fine of $40.
She and her fellow-strikers are
fighting for recognition of their
union, and for a 57-hour week in
place of the 80 to 100-hour week
which most .of them now work.

PROGRESSIVE FUR WORKERS SHOW
UP ANOTHER REACTIONARY Chief

Another "Honorable Member" Of
the gang which supports the right
wing reactionary officials of the In
ternational Fur Workers Union and
the Special Reorganization Commit
tee of the A. F. of L., was exposed
to the fur workers on Saturday in a
circular distributed in the fur mar
ket.
What Strike Aid
The chairman of the "Furriers Re-
organization Committee H. Schlis-
sci, is the subject of the leaflet which
asks the question:
What did Brother" Schlissel do
during the 1920 strike? Brother"
Schlissel has undertaken to Save the
fur workers from the Communist die
tatorship."
This man, Brother" Schlissel, with
Big Alex Fried, is another chief of
the Long Island international scab
"union." This new leader Of the in
famous kaufman Old Guard pro-
claims himself the New Messiah Of
the FurriefS Union.
Where has this Saint Schlissel been
for the last ten years? He has not
belonged to the Union; he has not
paid any dues.
Where was brother" Schlissel
during the 1920 strike? Why doesn't
Brother" Schlissel tell the fur work
ers that he did a little scabbing dur
ing a great part of the strike, under
the excuse of being a foreman for the
firm where he scabbed?
Did Schlissel have a union shop
when he was in business?
Where was Brother Schlissel
during our recent 1926 strike, when
the fur workers had bled and hung
cred for seventeen weeks What did
Brother" Schlissel do while the fur
workers We're striking and suffering?
Scabs, jailbirds, underworld heroes,
these are the representatives of the
new scab union of Schachtman, Win
nick, Matthew Vol, McGrady and
Green.
What pretty face this outfit of
so called labor leaders has in the
company OF their Honorable" asso-
ciates!
These are the people who speak to
the fur workers in the name of the
best traditions Of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor-honesty, purity,
and law and order. These are the
people who call upon the fur work
ers TO register with their scabbing
crew.
WHAT HAVE THE FUR WORK
ERS TO SAY TO THIS SPEC
TACLE?

Banquet For Released.
In honor of the three fur workers
who were released yesterday after
serving sixty days following their ar
rest and conviction for their strike
activities, banquet was given by the
fur workers in New Star Casino last
night and several hundred workers
were present to celebrate.
The workers who spent the past
two months on Rikers Island are Max
Forsky, Jack Pollack and A. Saches,
and they were greeted enthusiastical-
ly by those who attended the BAN
quet.

Clear weather with favoring

hazardous phase, when the plane
headed out over the ocean in
the 1900 mile reach to the Irish
coast, according to radio reports
received by The Associated Press
from ships in the north Atlantic.
Calculations based on an aver
age speed of 100 miles per hour
indicated that the Bellanca mono

Irish coast about p. m, E. D.

AS the airpIane carries nc radio

probable that it would be re-

On either the great circle or modi-
