Truckman Was Killed
By Policeman and Not
By Fleeing Desperate

1t was a police bullet and not one
from the gun of fleeing "despera-
do" that ended the life of Samuel
Golden, truckman, in chase after
a stolen automobile on the upper
West side last Sunday morning ac-
cording to testimony recorded in the
homicide court yesterday.
Golden's automobile had been com
mandeered by Policeman Michael
Leaden in pursuit of the stolen car.
The policeman was standing on the
running board firing at the fugitive,
when at Amsterdam avenue at Sixty
seventh street the truckman sudden
ly collapsed and dropped dead in his
seat. At the time he was supposed
to have been shot by the fugitive,
one James Morten, Negro who was
arrester, charged with homicide.
Killed by Cop.
When the Negroes case came up
for hearing yesterday, however, De-
tective Richard White took the stand
and testified that the autopsy had
disclosed that Golden was killed by
a police bullet and the district attor-
ney's office asked that the charge
against Morten be dismissed, which
was done. White told Magistrate
McRery that an examination of Col
den's car showed that the bullet had
struck the "chole" button and been
deflected from that into Golden's
body.

The leaflets read as follows:
"To the unemployed fur workers
and to the workers in the Associated
Shops.
Fellow workers:
"The division in our union and the
civil war now going on within it have
brought upon US the most severe
hardships. Those who are working
in the shops are suffering very much,
but those of US who are unemployed
are suffering even more. Many Of
US have been going about without
work for many months, and our fam
lilies are in dire need. There is no
hope of getting work-no hope of
securing jobs. The little work which
there now is, is being done at the
homes, and in the sweatshops Of COR
porations and contractors. Work is
being done at night, on Saturdays and
Sundays. A large number of work
ers are doing piece work. We are
producing twice and three times as
much as we did in 1926 and 1926. In
many shops the workers slave 60 and
70 hours week. Those who work
earn scarcely enough to live on al
though they are Shaving under the
most terrible conditions. Those of us
who are out of work suffer from
hunger and need, walking the streets
like beggars, and knocking at doors
and begging for jobs. We are ready
to sell ourselves for a slice of bread
The condition of the workers are un-
bearable, and what the future has
in store for us is even more terrible.
Union Shattered.
Sisters and brothers, what will be-
come of US? Who is going to help
US? Who is going to save us from
hunger and despair?
eff our union were not shattered
and split, it would be able TO help us
The contractors and the corporation
shops would not freely rob US of our
jobs; the fur workers would not be
so helpless as they are now; our
plight would not be so bad.
But our union has been split and
broken. That is why the bosses and
the contractors and the corporation
shops have the upper hand. That is
why the exploitation and the oppres-
sion are so great. That is why the
fur workers are being thrown out of
the shops. That is why the fur work
ers are enslayed.
"The unemployed fur workers, who
are subjected to even greater hard
ships than the other workers, have
resolved, at an open forum, to strive
with all their might to put an end to
our great suffering. We have re-

Big Cooper Union Meeting.

In spite of the rainy weather.
Cooper Union was crowded with
cloak and dressmakers last night who
listened to speeches delivered by
Louis Hyman and Joseph Boruchow-
itz.
The assembled workers passed a
motion condemning the terrorism of
the right wing and pledging to con-
tinue the fight to victory.
Hyman, greeted with cheers, recit-
ed how the right wing go about "or-
ganizing" the cloak and dressmakers.
He told how Hochman boasts in the
columns of the Jewish Daily Forward
of the right wing achievements.
How They Organize.
'In today's ISSUE" continued Hy-I
man, "Hochman has an article in
which he tells of the unionizing of
seven shops. At that rate" said Hy-
man, pointing to a girl in the front
row of the hall, when her grand
children grow up, Hochman will have
organized half of the industry"
Boruchowitz said that "the right
wingers think that those who have
the desks have the union. In 1910
the union did not even have its own
building but the organization was
stronger than it is today.
Work VIII Go On.
"The union will continue to func-
tion; the defense committee will go
on with its work in spite of the right
wing.
"The right wing have no more
money but they won't admit it. That
in the past, was their main strength.
Recently the Sigmanites threat
ened to bring charges against Local
Al. But no more was heard of it.
When they discovered that the locals
money had been removed from the
bank they lost all their interest.
Second Class Gangsters.
THE gangsters of the right wing
at the present time are of the second
class. They have not enough money
to pay for first class thugs. If any
of these fellows come up to your
shops, just chase them out, don't be
afraid of them. Even the police are
not helping the right wing as much
as in the past. The reason is simple,
their money is disappearing"
The resolution adopted reads as
follows.
Text of Resolution.
Whereas, after nine months of
bitter war against the great mass of
the cloak and dressmakers, Sigmans
attempt to force his discredited lead
ership on the members thru gang
sterism, injunction and police prose
cutions has completely failed, and
Whereas, the much heralded or
ganization drive Of Sigman's commit
tee OF gangsters is now commonly
known to the workers as nothing but
a crusade against those workers who
refused TO register with the Interna-
tional and has proven to be a total
failure because Sigman lacks both
the confidence and support of the
membership, and
Whereas, in order to brace up the
broken morale. and courage of his
henchmen and stave off the impend
ing defeat, Sigman has hit upon the
scheme of confiscating the furniture
OF the Joint Board and the locals with
the aid of court orders, sheriffs and
police in the hope that this may
throw the workers into panic,
therefore be it
