Without invitation and on their
own initiative Hugh Frayne, general
organizer Of the American Fedora
ton of Labor, and Patrick J. Shea
and James H. Coleman, officials of
the Amalgamated Association of
Street and Electric Railway Employees
visited Samuel Untermyer, special
council for the transit commission, at
his office on Tuesday and assured
him that there was not the slightest
foundation for rumors of an impend-
ing strike on the Interborough or any
of the other subway or elevated lines.
This visit was prompted by wide
spread discomfort becoming manifest
among the slaves of the traction sys-
tenn on account of Untermyer prov
ing before the commission that the
Interborough management compels
all its employees to belong to its scab
company union. This was interpreted
by some as Indictment to a strike for
a genuine union, although it is we'll
known that Untermyer had no such
intentions when he attacked the "la-
Dor policy" Of the traction magnates.

KHAN INFLUENCE
WORKED TO KILL
JEWISH PATIENTS
N. Y. Hospital Anti
Semites Sabotage

How the Ku Klux Khan element of
the Kings County Hospital of Brook
lyn mistreated Jewish patients of
that institution is now coming to
light as a result of the hazing of
three internes there last Monday.
A Jewish woman of Brooklyn,
former patient of the hospital will
be one of a number Of persons who
have had dealings with the hospital
to appear before the mayor. She will
relate how she was left unattended
for five hours, and how the inferno
who was in charge Of the ambulance
in which she was taken to the hos
pital called out with profane con-
tempt, Here's another Jew!"
Nathan H. Sweedler, council fo1
the three Jewish internes, yesterday
related how the nurses who worked
with the internes refused to cooper
ate with them.
He said nurses were lax in wards in
which Jewish internes had been as
signed and not only insulted the intern
es but refused to carry out their orders,
particularly if they concerned jew
ish patients. And Jewish patients
Sweedler added, were insulted by
nurses.
Sweedler charged openly that the
Ku Klux Khan is directly responsible
for the actions of the doctors and
nurses at the hospital.

twelve striking fur workers on a

Who Is Boss?
It is known that the captain of

The propaganda mills of the capl-
talist press are working overtime, as
are the aeroplane factories and the
poison gas and chemical warfare fac
tories. The campaign of Islander and
hatred against the Soviet Union ini-
tiated by Great Britain, and energet-
ically backed by the United States,
has eliminated in the brutal murder
of Voikoff, the Minister of the Soviet
Union to Poland. The real RESPONSE
bility for this murder rests upon the
international band of imperialist as
sassins that are attempting to plunge
the world into a new war. The raid
on the Picking embassy of the Soviet
Union, the raid on ARGOS, the lying
stories circulated to the press of the
entire world, the provocative speech
of Ambassador Herrick on Decoration
Day, the deliberate financing of bands
of terrorists and spies by Britain and
the United States, these are RESPONSE
BILE for the Voikoff murder, greeted
with appreciation by the anti-Soviet
Press of England and the United
States. Poland was secretly encour-
aged to add insult to injury by light
sentence to the self confessed murder,
and a provocative note Of reply to the
complaint of the Soviet Union.
The very conferences which the inn
perialists pretend to call to maintain
peace in the world have been sys-
tematically used to further the plans
for war. At Geneva, during the past
week, the government Of Great Brit
ain has approached each of the pow
ers with demand that they join with
it in a common war against the Chi
nese people and the people of the
Soviet Union. Chamberlain openly re-
quested from the German government
permission to march troops over Ger
many to attack Russia when the war
begins.
In China, the Coolidge government
has openly accepted the place Of lead
ership in this plot against world peace
and against Chinese people which the
Tory government of Great Britain has
attempted to thrust upon it. II did
this at Marking, where American bat
tleships opened fire on an unfortified
city. 1t did this in the identic Five
