WINSLOW FRIEND
ADMITS PERJURY
False Testimony Aided
Judge and Helfand

Harry J. Halperin. an attorney,
testified yesterday before Senior
Judge Knox Of the U. S. Federal
District Court that Marcus Helfand,
also an attorney, had caused him
to testify falsely in favor of Hell
fand and Federal Judge Winslow
before the federal grand jury.
Winslow is under investigation by
a congressional committee which is
TO report whether he should be I'M
peached. One of the charges
against him is that he so conducted
himself that the law firm headed
by Helfand could assure litigants
that for a very heavy fee they could
have Judge Winslow act any way
they wished.
AS part of the proof that Winslow
was Helfand's creature, they showed
prospective bribe givers Judge
Winslow in intimate converse and
social escapades with Helfand. Hal
perrin now admits he assisted in sew
eral of these demonstrations. On
advice cf Helfand, he says, he de-
MED it before the grand jury.

WEAvERS STRIKE

New Union Leads Walk

Especial to the Daily Worker)

Especial to the Daily Worker)
NEW BEDFORD, Mass, March
11.-Fifty weavers walked out of
the big Acushnet Mills here yester-
day in strike under the leadership
of the New Bedford locals of the
National Textile Workers Union.
The strike was called when the
mill owners tried to speed up pro-
duction of the workers and thereby
put over an indirect but none the
less vicious wage cut.
Over six hundred looms are tied
up by the walkout of the fifty
weavers.
The strike was no more than a
few hours old when the consterna-
ton of the employers showed itself
by their openly manifested desire to
confer with the mill committee of
the N. T. w. U.
The workers, however, will not
consider going back till their de-
mands are met with.
This is not the first strike to take
place in this city, where a six
months struggle against wage cut
was not long ago ended. All the
strikes, nearly all ending success
fully, were called thru the initia-
tive and under the leadership of the
National Textile Workers Union
established during the general
strike.

STRIKE LEADERS
ON TRIAL TODAY
IN new BEDFORD
Mill Owners Pick Out
Eleven Militants
for Frame-up
LID Defends Workers
Courts Anxious to Jail
Picket Captains

NEW BEDFORD, Mass, March
11.-A deliberate attempt to "get"
the leading figures in the New Bed
ford textile strike is seen in the
calling to trial as group tomor-
row morning of IL of the leading
figures in the strike. Their cases
will be heard in the Superior Court
here as part of the mass trial of
662 New Bedford strikers. The
more than 100 who came to trial
last week were all dismissed on
probation terms, ranging from six
months to one year.
The group that is being called to
trial tomorrow consists of William
Murdoch, Elsa Pultur, James P.
Reid, Peter Hegelias, Ellen Dawson,
Sam Wiseman, Amy Schechter, Jack
Rubinstein, Fred Beal, Martha Stone
end William Slroka.
The fact that these IL militants
are being tried together out of their
regular turns seems to indicate that
the authorities, while willing to
free the rank and file workers on
probation, are determined to deal a
serious blow to the National Textile
Workers Union by railroading its
leaders to Jail.
The International Labor Defense,
which is defending the New Bed
ford cases, is determined to wage a
bitter fight to smash this new
strategy of the mill owners courts.

the fascist and traitorous leadership
of the Hillman-Risman regime in
the Amalgamated Clothing Workers
Union, the so workers employed by

The walkout of these workers
and their refasaltt to return to work

direct outcome of the call to open

This is the beginning of another
