Kramberg and Obermeier Bailed.
Sam Kramberg, secretary and
Michael Obermeier, organizer of the
Hotel Restaurant and Cafeteria
Workers Union, were released yes
terday from the w. 37th St. Jail
where they were taken last Monday
for refusal to pay fines imposed
upon them by Justice Thomas C. T.
Grain for violation of the injunc-
ton. This release was secured by
Counsel for the union pending ap-
peal. Despite their Imprisonment
they showed the same militant spirit
that sent them there. eve are just
as determined as ever to continue
the strike" declared Kramberg. GAIL
activities necessary to carry on a
successful fight for unionism will
so on despite the police brutality
ard the injunction"
Upon being informed of the many
end severe sentences imposed upon
strikers in their absence, Michael
Obermeier characterized the action
OF the courts as proving the charge
of the union that the courts as well
as the police have been on the side
of the bosses against the workers.
"Today's events alone indicate the
class character of the courts, said
Obermeier. According to the in
formation Of our counsel, Justice
Solomon in special sessions today
insisted upon playing the role of pro-
secutor as well as Judge. Whenever
the district attorney overlooked a
point against the strikers, Solomon
did not fail to participate in the
prosecution. His remarks to our
attorney also showed his inability
to live up to the pretense of imparti-
atty, his class prejudice, his hatred
of organized labor and it's struggles
for better wages and short hours. "
The appeal in the case of Obermeier
and Kramberg will be heard in the
Appellate Division next week.
