9Olgin, president of the Freiheit
Publishing Association, and
Meilach Epstein, editor of the
Freiheit, are awaiting arrest today.
They will be taken from their
desks in the editorial offices of
these two working class publications
and led to prison by Tammany
policemen doing the work of the so
cialist party, as it does its work for
capitalism. Later an attempt will
be made to have them bailed out.
Their prosecutor, the socialist
party leader, Hillquit, has already
demonstrated that he enjoys the
friendly assistance of the district
attorneys office and that everything
is made quick and easy for him when
he is engaged in imprisoning Com
munist leaders.
Assistant District Attorney Hast
ings presented what Hillquit calls
his evidence" to the grand jury
for the socialist party man, and the
grand jury voted indictments against
all four editors charging crimincl
libel because the Daily Worker and
the Freiheit carried articles during
the last week of January exposing
participation by Hillquit, the social
ist party leader, in swindle in
which $150,000 was stolen from the
needle trades workers thru Juggling
of the stock of the International
Bank.
Hillquit's closeness to the district
attorneys office, the Tammany
capitalist implement for jailing
workers on strike and framing up
union leaders, was proved by the
case and expediency win which he
1 got--the indictments without any
prior hearing for the defendants be-
fore a magistrate, as is the usual
procedure. Such a hearing would
have enabled the Communist editors
to bring out many embarrassing
facts about Hillquit, and the tao
Tics of his Tammany friends in saw
ing him this ordeal are correct from
their point Of view, and Hil'quit's.
Hillquit Evades Question.
The Daily Worker and the Frei-
heit have repeatedly challenged
Hillquit to say what became Of that
$150,000 of workers. money he had
control over, but Hillquit prefers
to use the capitalist state, the union
smashing district attorney of New
York and the Tammany courts-in
what will be vain attempt to 81
lence four Communist editors and
evade exposure of his own mis-
deeds.
In this issue the Daily Worker
publishes part of the court proceed
ure in the investigation of the $780,
900 swindle, giving more facts of
Hillquit's maneuvers in that affair.
