educated young woman, Celia Melt

sought to solve the gang murder of
Frankie Uale and likewise the
bombing death of Benjamin Kano-

She is a paralytic now-paralysis

she was at the head of a large mail

Carried into the Federal commits

charges and called them ridiculous.
She was calm, parried all ques-

ing the dope selling charge.
More than a quarter of a million
dollars worth of narcotics was said

COURT UPHOLDS
ILLEGAL SEARCH
Maryland Citizens irked by
Dry Law Ruling

BIZ Times Special
BALTIMORE, July 11-Citizens
of Maryland are aroused over a de-
cision of the State Supreme Court,
upholding liquor law conviction
despite the fact that evidence was
obtained by illegal means.
Like the recent United States Su.
preme Court decision upholding a
conviction obtained by means of
overlapping, the Maryland decision
was divided, four to three.
George Messenger was convicted Of
possessing liquor for sale in Cecil
County, under local county law.
He appealed to the State court. 1t
was shown that the sheriff who
searched his premises did so under
an illegal warrant.
His appeal from a six months
sentence claimed the State had no
right to use the evidence illegally
obtained. The Supreme Court ma
jority simply held that there was
precedent for holding that while
the seizure was unlawful, the evil
dence was admissible.

RIFKIN FORCED
OUT OF OFFICE
Goes Way of All Fake
Progressives

Following a vote of non-confi-
dence in the committee which had
charge of the recent Trufood strike
of which he was chairman, Louis
Rifkin, president of Local 1, Wait
ers' and Mattresses Union, resigned
from his office as president of the
organization at the meeting of the
union held last Thursday.
Criticism of Rifkin, begun by the
left wing several months ago, paved
the way for his final defeat, al
though left wing followers refused
at the same time to support the
group of reactionaries under the
leadership of Lehman, who led the
last attack on Rifkin. Rifkin re-
signed under fire.
Criticism against him by the left
wing was baSed on the strike
strategy and settlement, which was
carried thru in the most modern
class-collaboration style, ending
with Rifkin's proposal that the end
of the strikes be celebrated with a
banquet including judges, lawyers
and bosses as honored guests. The
proposition for this was defeated f;
and instead, committee was APP
pointed to investigate the expendi-
ture of funds. The reactionary ma
chine led the attack against Rifkin
having opposed all organization
work. The strike committees re-
fusal to account for over $1,000 led
to the non-confidence vote.
Rifkin was elected to office on a
united front progressive ticket, al
though he has always been criticized
by the left wing.

were not scheduled for the former
date. The statement reads, in part,
as follows:
"This year more than ever before
the progressive workers of New
York have cause for celebration.
The past year has marked the grow
ing militancy Of workers, increased
the vigor of their fight against both
the exploitation of the bosses and
the treachery of the right wing
union officials, and, above all, has
seen the birth of the new union
movement in the needle trades. 1t
it fitting that all left wing work
ers get together to celebrate their
victories-won through the active
leadership of the T. U. E. L. groups
in the unions"

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 10
Strikes have already been declared
in six dressmakers' and eight cloak
makers shops. Workers are con-
stantly picketing in front of the
buildings.
The Philadelphia police, pursuing
their usual tactics against left wing
workers, have arrested two pickets
who were peacefully walking up and
down the picket line.
Both arrests took place at the
Brownstein shop, located at al
North 18th St. The pickets arrested
were Esther Miller and Pauline
Goldberg.
Pauline Goldberg was beaten up
by the wife of scab and then ar
rested by the police on charges of
disorderly conduct. The scab's wife
claimed that she was the boss of the
shop. Immediately after hearing
this, the manager of the Sigman
union rushed to court to defend her.
This fact, according to the mill
tant strikers, conclusively proves
that the interests of the Sigman
clique are tied up with those of the
bosses.
The militant and progressive
dress and cloakmakers, however, are
determined to fight to finish, de-
spite the provocative tactics of the
Sigman clique, which is alarmed at
the inroads being made into their
ranks by the new organization.
