REVEAL HOW
TAMMANY TOOL
LIVES OFF POOR
Workers Wife Tells of
Persecution

How the petty flunkeys and hang
ers-on of Tammany Hall prey on poor
workers was told yesterday in Bridge
Plaza Magistrates Court, Brooklyn,
by Mrs. Anna Rowinsky, IS Siegel
St., Brooklyn.
To keep her two small children
from starving, Mrs. Rowinsky, whose
husband, laborer, has been sick and
out of work for six months, began
selling leather goods and glassware
from a pushcart in front of her home.
Friends helped her to buy the mer-
chandise, and after securing a Ii
cense, Mrs. Rowinsky began to ped
die.
Next to hers was pushcart oper-
ated by Samuel Malmud, known in the
neighborhood as petty politician
with pull higher up" Malmud be-
gan prosecuting her for not getting
the license thru him, and then offered
to let her alone if she would give
him $50 and "a bridge lamp for the
alderman"
Upon her refusing to give him the
money, Malmud continued to perse-
cute and to insult Mrs. Rowinsky and
even beat one of her children. Mrs.
Rowinsky complained to Alderman
John McCusker, who refused to in
tervene and defended Malmud.

BE FIRED, UNION
HEADS THREATEN
Take Names of Those in
Attendance

Despite the presence of officials Of
the Cleaners and Dyers Union, seated
outside the hall in a large limousine
checking eff the names of all those
attending, the progressive group in
the union succeeded in holding a sue
2essfnl protest meeting against the
gangster rule and blacklist methods
used against all those opposing the
reactionary policies of the administra-
ton. The meeting was held Monday
Eight in the Irving Plaza Hall, 15tk
st. and Irving Place.
Protest Attack.
The meeting was called by the pro
gressives in and also those expelled
from tie union for their advocacy of
a militant policy toward the employ
ers. They called it specifically to
protest against the brutal assault on
those attending a meeting of the pro-
gressivc group recently. This meet
ing was invaded by a squad of thugs
armed with hammers and iron pipes.
and was led by several of the union
officials themselves. A number of
workers were taken to the hospital
sitter their skulls had been fractured.
The progressive group had issued
handbills in calling the union member
ship to this meeting. These leaflets
we're promptly answered by the Of
licialdom with an announcement that
all those attending the meeting would
not only be expelled from the organi-
sation but Immediately removed from
the job. In the auto leading the
squad of gangsters were A. Hammer,
president of the union, and J. Cohen,
secretary.
Mass Demands.
The meeting unanimously adopted
> resolution, which after condemning
he thug rule in the union, the ex-
pulsion policy, and the fascist method
If threatening with the loss of Jobs
FL those opposing the administra-
TONS policy of laying down and sci
ling out to the bosses, made sliree
principal demands. They are: l..
Reinstatement of all the expelled; 2.
Removal of the gangster terror; 3.
An immediate election so that the
membership can choose an honest and
militant administration for the union.

were later brought up on charges of
disorderly conduct in the Jefferson
Market Court before Magistrate
Smith. Both were dismissed.
After getting over the scare that
the sight of so many workers caused
him, Fisher, upon the arrival of the
police, gained tremendously in cour-
age and even began to direct them IN
their attacks on the workers. Stand
ing safely in a doorway, Fisher
shouted, "Split their heads SO that
they will not come here again"
Third Demonstration.
This is the third protest demonstra-
ton held by the angered fur workers
in the last two weeks. This time all
the unemployed workers gathering
daily on the corners Of Sixth Ave.
9th, 28th and Goth SITS, in a vain
search for work, marched en- masse
uptown to the scab union headquar-
ters on 31st st.
The deep resentment of the work
ers, gathering force as the fur manu-
featuring season wears on with no
signs of the reestablishment of union
conditions in the shops, became an
open revolt when even a certain sec
ton of the officials of the right wing
union are beginning to support the
workers demand for the reestablish-
ment of one union in the industry.
The socialist and A. F. of L. official
dom are opposing this.

BRISTOL HIP FLASkS

Yes, we were shocked: as shock ed as they were in Bristol: as shocked as the generality of readers on reading all about how hip flasks would no longer be tolerated at basketball games in the Bell city.
 But after all we are pleased to learn that it has not been the high school students in Bristol who have been toting the flasks, but the spec tators at the games.
 These spectators. who come pre- pared to get drunk if the home team loses and drink endless toasts of victory should it win-these spec tators. We say. should be Curbed to the full extent of the law. If demon liouor cannot be downed at such an innocent festival as basketball game let there be TO more such sporting carnivals Since when must an ordinary basketball game take on the pranks Of football at the Yale bowl? We expect to be callal down for this statement, but so long as the Yale News doesn't get personal about 1t We will try to stand it.
