I. L. D. Scores Police.
The savage brutality of the police
in their attempts to break up the
international Red Day demonstra-
tions is denounced in a statement
issued yesterday by the New York
District of the International Labor
Defense, which furnished bail for
and is defending the 80 workers who
were arrested during the police at
tacks. The statement, signed by
Rose Baron, secretary, declares:
"The Tammany police ran true to
form on Thursday. Enraged at the
mighty demonstrations against inn
perialist war by the workers OF New
York, they did everything in their
power to break up the demonstra-
tions, attacked workers and little
children, beat many of them merci-
lessly and arrested %. Their good
behavior" during the big Union So.
demonstration was evidently only
for show. When the workers con-
gregated around the Workers Cen
ter after the meeting, they rushed
upon them with their armored mo-
torcycles and began clubbing and
manhandling men, women and chill
dren.
Vicious Attack and Raid.
"But the police reserved the height
of their savagery for the Bronx,
when they ran wild at a meeting at
Intervale and Wilkins AYES, beat
ing everybody whom they could lay
hands on, and making arrests. They
capped this with the raid on the
Communist Party headquarters at
Boston Rd., where they broke into
the building and arrested II.
"The New York District of the
international Labor Defense con-
dennis this unprovoked orgy of bru-
tally. We hail the courageous way
in which the workers fought back
defending themselves against the
bloodhounds of Tammany Hall
With the support of the workers
the I. L. D. will defend in the courts
all those arrested and do everything
possible to secure their Immediate
release"
