WHEELING, w. Va, Oct T.
The police of this city broke up a
meeting of the Workers (Commun-
ist) Party held at Arian Hall Fri
day evening, and arrested Scott
Nearing, candidate for governor of
New Jersey on the Workers (Com-
munist) Party ticket, Frank Hen
derson, of the Young Workers
(Communist) League, and Fred
Carreno, Communist campaign
manager.
Nine hundred steel workers and
coal miners attended the meeting
while several hundred other work
ers, terrorized by the display of gas
bombs, riot guns and squads of city
and state police, stood outside on
the street to watch the dramatic
display of the dictatorship of the
Wheeling Steel Corporation and po-
lice terrorism.
There were intense moments as
the meeting opened. Carreno and
Henderson were on the platform.
Just as Carreno, the chairman, be-
gan to open the meeting, squad
of police rushed up to the stage
and Carreno was Immediately placed
under arrest. Nearing attempted to
speak at this point, but two police
men dragged him down and roughly
handled him. Chairs were upset as
he was escorted out of the hall.
Henderson, trying to speak after
both Nearing and Carreno had been
arrested, was brutally handled by
the police.
At present the police and the
mayor are trying to pass the buck
as to who was responsible for the
breaking up of the Workers Com
munist) Party meeting.
The International Labor Defense
has announced that it will handle
the cases of the three arrested mill

Only $500 Heimwehr troops came

thousand of these were from Dona-

The number of workers in Vienna

those of the Heimwehr and much

Open Air Mass Meet
in Rutgers So.
Ignore Socialist Nee

Jewish workers here Saturday
demonstrated their sympathy with
the hercism of William Shifrin, who
faces a charge of homicide before
the grand jury, and just as forcibly
showed the bankruptcy of the So
cialist party's influence among the
New York workers.
The William Shifrin Defense Com
mittee, organized recently by pro-
gressive workers to fight for the
freedom of the man who defended
himself against six right wing
knife-wielding assailants, announced
the holding of an open-air mass
meeting on Rutgers Square, near
the building of the right wing jew
ish Forward.
Workers coming to the site of the
meeting on Saturday morning were
surprised when arriving there to
find a truck occupying the corner
usually taken for these purposes.
The truck was all covered with
signs of the socialist party an
nouncing that they would hold a
meeting there. Not worker stayed
near the socialist truck to wait for
their meeting.
Instead they congregated on the
SQUARE and in the neighboring park
till the truck of the left wing De
tense Committee came to begin thei,
meeting. In spite of being com
PEELED to take a less advantageous
corner, the truck was Immediately
surrounded by huge mass of thou
sands of workers who cheered loudly
when the chairman opened the meet
ing.
After the left wing meeting was
opened, the yellows opened theirs
but at no time did they have more
than several score of workers to at
tend their meeting. And even these
workers made it exceedingly uncom.
Portable for the three right wing
speakers who kept speaking in re-
lays because they had no others tc
speak. Constant heckling and shout
ing of embarrassing questions kept
the Forward speakers in misery.
On the other hand the left wing
meeting was attended by GROVE
of tremendous proportions, which
overflowed into the park and stayed
till the meeting was officially CLOSED
by Chairman Lipsin, manager of the
Defense Committee. Speakers at
the left wing meeting were: Irving
Potash, of the Furriers Union: Wer-
ner, Butchers Union; Schwartz
Grocery Clerks Union; Nelson, a left
wing leader in the A. C. W., and
others.
The size of the attendance at the
socialist meeting was so devastat-
ingly small, despite strict orders is

the Amalgamated and in the Pocket
