Cangster Held
Without Bail
For Attack
Gunman Who Shot Worker
Attacks Pickets Again

Max Richter, member of "Fren-
chy's" gang, now awaiting the action
of the grand jury for the shooting Of
Samuel Cohen, was arrested again
Friday morning when he and fellow
gangsters attacked the picket line at
the MilIare and Mandel Cloak Shop,
213 West 35th Street. Already under
$4,000 bonds for shooting Cohen, he
was ordered held without bail pend
ing the investigation of his record by
Judge Tolleris in Jefferson Market
Court
Richter gave his name as Max Rich,
but was identified as Richter, who
with three other men, attacked Cohen
as he was coming away from a picket
line at Rothman, Reisman and Beaver
shop at SCI West 57th Street, shoot
ing him in the foot.
Two other gangsters, Max Allen
Mich and Sol Freeberg, arrested with
him on Friday, were released on bail
of $500 upon charge Of disorderly
conduct. They will come up for hear
ing on March 4th.
Mass Attack On Line.
The picket lines were attacked as
if by mass campaign on Friday.
The police already had captured three
prisoners and were on their way to
the Both Street Police Station when
they heard cries of help from Millare
and Mandell Shop, where Richter and
his fellow-gangsters were beating up
B. Lishovoff, Julius Shapiro, Dan Pol
lack, and NJ. Shanez. The last named
received severe cuts on his face and
head after he had been thrown to
the street, and was the complainant
on the felonious assault charge
against Richter.
The three arrested earlier are well
known to pickets as "Dubinsky's
boys" being part of the strong arm
brigade of David Dubinsky, manager
of Cutters Local 10. They were ar
rested after they attempted to as
sault Aaron Wortums, of the Charles
Meisel Shop, 225 West 36th Street,
and cutters who were with him. They
gave their names as Sam Greenberg.
Max Blum and Harry Cohen, and were
held on $500 bail to appear March A.
Menace Workers.
Wortums was standing near his
shop, which is not on strike, waiting
to identify the men who attacked and
beat him up on February 20. as he
was waiting to go up to work. AS
the three men passed, he pointed them
out to friends as his assailants. They
Immediately started toward the group,
threatening Wortums with ga worse
one than you got last time" He ran
to the elevator, and from the second
floor called for police, who arrested
the trio.
It was on the trip to the station
with these three that the police dis
covered the trouble at the Millare and
Mandel shop.

Everything that has been said about
living conditions in the city is applica-
BILE to sections of the Bronx. Some
parts of it rival the Ghetto. Some are
almost an image of Harlem. Some
are as beautiful, as pleasant to live

A Little Housing Relief.
In justice to. r sntion must be
made at the OF Ia that everything
that has been DINE to relieve the
housing shortage has been done
chiefly in the Bronx. Outside of a
little building in Queens, most of it
has been done right here, by Bronx
builders. But it didn't change the sit

A Brutal Rejection.
That the president would sign the
McFadden bill was a foregone con-
clusion. But that he would veto the
farm bill, and do so in the irritating
ly insulting manner which he chose,
was something of surprise. In an
5000 word message accompanying
the veto, Coolidge gives as his first
reason the appointive power of the
president. The election of farm
board is declared unconstitutional,
and an opinion to that effect by the
encouragement is enclosed in the
message. Secondly, the president
thinks the scheme will not work, and
thirdly, that it would be bad thing
if it did work.

PRAvDA EXPOSES
SOCIALISTS AS
Enemies OF LABOR
Tried to Stifle Sacc0
Demonstrations

MOSCOW, Aug. 28.-Pravda, in
commenting upon the legalzed muir
der of Sacco and Nanzetti points out
that when the growing Indignation of
the working class against the regime
ef the bourgeoisie and tEe bourgeois
democratic dictatorship burst forth
the capitalist class, with the assist
ance of the social democrats, tries to
divert the workers attention from the
Threatening questions of revolutionary
struggle and substitute therefore
other questions that lead the toilers
astray. Especially deceptive and
treacherous are meaningless phrases
about violated justice" outraged
law" etc
Such phrase-mongeing is CON
temptible in the case of the murder
of Sacco and Vanzetti. 1t is quite
clear that their execution was ac-
eomplished according to all precepts
Of capitalist legality.
Expose Socialist Traitors.
Continuing its exposure of the So
cial democratic agents of the bour-
geoisie, Pravda declares that: "The
workers must deeply reflect upon the
meaning of the actions of the social
democrats and the reformists of the
whole world who, in full solidarity
with the imperialist bandits, find it
more than convenient as an excuse
TO evade participating in demonstra-
tons of fury against murder of Sacco
and Vanzetti to direct their blows,
not against the regime of the capt.
talist exploiters, but against the
revolutionary workers and peasants
of the Union of Socialist Soviet Re-
publics. These traitors are still serv-
ing their masters by reechoing the
denunciation against the Soviet gov
eminent that was obliged, as a mat
ter of self-defense to cut short the
counter revolutionary plots of
Churchill's agents.
The workers must never forget
that the organ of the German social
democracy Vorwaerts, is heading a
campaign against proletarian against
the murderers of Sacco and Van
zetti and at the same time assailing
the Soviets in Russia. They must
never forget the pleasure trip of the
British delegates to the Paris con-
gress of the Amsterdam Interna-
tional on the day Of the demonstra-
ton of hundreds of thousands of
Paris workmen in Vincennes Forest
against the proposed execution of
Sacco and Vanzetti.
Actions Repudiated Reformists.
1.-THE behavior of the working class
showed plainly the soundness of their
revolutionary instinct which the re-
formists tried to destroy, and served
to prove again that the only deter
mined leaders of the working class
are the Communist vanguard who are
relentlessly fighting against III c
whole murder crew of the interna.
tional bourgeoisie." VI

SACCO, vANzETTI
MUTILATED FOR
HARVARD MEDICS
Brains and Heart Taken
For LOwell's School

BOSTON, Aug. 28.-Nicola Sacco,
six years ago, told the Dedham court
that the children of the poor could
not get to Harvord-that it was a
university for the rich.
Now Sacco is getting to Harvard
after all-the heart and brains of
him. The Sacco-Vanzetti Defense
Committee charges that the bodies of
their two martyred friends have been
mutilated and the heart and brains
sent to the Harvard Medical School,
along with those of Celestino Ma
deiros, the gunman who confessed to
the South Braintree crime.
DR.. George Burgess Magrath, the
medical examiner who performed the
autopsy, refuses to affirm or deny the
charge, and his silence is interpreted
by newspapermen as consciousness of
guilt.
1t is not uncommon to turn the vital
organs of executed men over to the
medical school, but in this case the
act is felt to be a gross outrage on
the feelings of the millions devoted
tc the two radicals.
Six years ago Sacco had his say
about Harvard, and District Attor-
ney Katzmann made skillful use Of
his outburst before the jury. Six
years later A. Lawrence Lowell, the
}president of Harvard, had his say
about the upstart young radical, and
doomed him to the electric chair. And
as final chapter the passionate
heart of the young rebel goes TO Low
elPs medical rooms, for the knives of
cynical experimenters to carve.
