model" HOUSING
Chrystie- Forsyth Plan
Is a Fake

The real estate deal which some
property owners are trying to make
with the city under the cover of a
model housing scheme on Chrys-
tie and Forsyth Sts., was pushed
further when this group of real
estate spectators parading under
the name of the Chrystie- Forsyth
Property Owners Association pro-
duced 130 signatures of those will
ing to sell the property at rs per
cent above the assessment value.
The project was first proposed
two years ago, but was dropped
when a group headed by Libby, large
property owners in that section and
owner of the Libby Hotel at Forsyth
and Delaney Sts., held out for higher
prices. This group, represented by
the East Side Chamber of Com
merce, is interested primarily in
cashing in on the project for further
widening Allen ST., where it owns
much property which it would like
to get rid of.

When Peter Cappel, one of the
directors of the Chamber of Com

proposition last Thursday against
the will of the other group in the
chamber, he was "fired." Cappel is
a large real estate dealer and heads
the jewelry exchange at 72 Bowery.
The East Side Chamber of Com
merce, which has its headquarters
in the Libby Hotel, won the first
battle in the drive to make as much
money as possible out of "model'

Exposed HillQuit's
$3.50, 900 SWindle
Minor, Olgin in Court
Rosalsky in Attack on
Daily Worker

Yielding to the request of Morris
Hillquit, corporation lawyer and
socialist party boss, that the Grim
inal libel trial of the editors of the
Daily Worker and the Freiheit start
promptly in order to permit him to
leave for Europe, June 10, Judge
Otto Rosalsky, sitting in Part 8,
General Sessions of the Criminal
Court yesterday, set the trial for
June 3.
The decision of the judge, who is
notorious for his anti-labor activi-
ties, particularly in the big cloak
makers strike in 1926, came after
private conferences between him,
Hillquit and the district attorney.
The district attornry, thru whose
office Hillquit originally secured the
grand jury indictments against the
editors of the two militant dailies,
was particularly solicitous about
not ''inconveniencing" the we'll
known shareholder in the Burns Coal
Company and member of the execu-
tive of the Second (Yellow) Inter-
national.
Minor, Olgin in Court.
Both Robert Minor, editor of the
Daily Worker, and Moissaye J. Oh
gin, editor of the Freiheit, appeared
in court yesterday, where they were
represented by Attorny Louis B.
Boudin. The call to appear in court
came 'rithout warning, Hillquit evil
IDENTIFY hoping to rush the trial thru
before the defense attorneys had a
chance to prepare their case. Though
he did not quite succeed in this,
Judge Rosalsky showed his usual
consideration for enemies of the
workers by arranging the trial to
suit Hillquit's convenience.
Rosalsky also launched TRADE
against the Daily Worker and pulled
out carefully-preserved clippings in
which the DAILY" had exposed him
as a vicious tool of the bosses.
Hillquit and Tammany.
The indictment of the editors of
the two fighting labor dailies on
charges of criminal libels was Sc
cured by Hillquit after the Daily
Worker and the Freiheit had reveal
ed that he and several socialist"
associates had swindled the cloak
and dressmakers out of $150,000.
Because of his influence with the
office of the Tammany District At
torney, Hillquit was able to secure
secret grand jury indictment with
out public hearing-an unprece-
dented procedure in criminal libel
cases.

Throughout the debate the con-

have started as early as their COL

Yesterday, four days after the
Western Union building tragedy
which hurled four workers to their
deaths from a scaffold on the 22nd
floor Of its skyscraper, under con-
struction, not a single move had
been made by the bureaucratic of
ficials of the unions to which the
killed workers belonged to obtain
compensation for their stricken and
destitute families.
Ralph Stable, official in charge
of Local No. 749 of the Building

Coiro belonged, evaded all questions
put to him on the subject yester-
day, claiming a sudden excessive
piling up of work. Meanwhile,
Coiro's wife and eight-year-old son
wait bitterly for news.
Only Flowers From Union.
And Mrs. Sigrid Ronning, widow
of Otte Ronning, a bricklayer killed
together with Coiro and the two
others, revealed yesterday that the
interest of the union officials in the
murder of her husband had swayed
them to send bouquet of flowers
to his funeral, accompanied with a
short stereotyped Western Union
telegram. This is true irony, that
the same company which, through
insistenee on vicious speed-up,
murdered Otte Ronning, should be
the medium through which the union
reaction should send consola-
tory message to his widow. But
compensation? Mrs. Ronning, a

Workers Rallied to Get
More Funds for Food

CHARLOTTE, NC, April "a.
The Usage Mill and the
American Mill No. 2 were struck
here today, bringing the total on
strike in the Piedmont section to
1000.
GASTONIA, N. c., April 24.-Al-
though the Manville-JencEes armed
scabs and gunmen still occupy the
mills, the strikers still picket them.
The picket line last night was once
more broken up by bayonet
charge of the thugs, but is reformed
today.
Ellen Dawson, organizer for the
National Textile Workers Union,
was arrested last night for leading
the picket line. She had been out
of Jail only day since her release
on heavy bonds after arrest on a
framed-up federal charge of ir-
regularities in her naturalization.
She has already been released sec
ond time on $50 bail. The bail in
both cases was furnished by the In
ternational Labor Defense.
BeaI Arrested.
Fred Beal, N.T.W.U. organizer,
was brought to the Gastonia Jail
last night after being arrested in
Charlotte at the office of the attor-
ney for the union, Tom Jimmison.
Constant rumors of plans by the
mill owners thugs to lynch Beal on
arrival here led to great throngs of
strikers surrounding the Jail to
protect him and the organization of
an armed guard of strikers to watch
the Jail during the night.
Beal is in Jail on warrant sworn
out by the scab, Troy Jones, who is
charging abduction because his wife,
Violet Jones, a striker, went with
a delegation of three other strikers
t. tour the industrial cities of the
North and West to speak at mass
meetings and raise money for strike
relief. Jones also sues the union
for $4,000 for the same "offense"
and the local authorities pretend to
take these charges seriously al
though Violet Jones has repudiated
entirely the statement that she was
led away from her husband by Beal
or the union, and has denounced him
in vigorous terms in telegram to
the N.T.W.U. local here.
A large strike meeting yesterday
afternoon was addressed by the
women pickets who had been ar
rested and released, Chairman Hol-
loway, Strike Committee Chairman
Organizers Vera Bush and
Ellen Dawson, and Representatives
Of the International Labor Defense
