Zimmerman Jailed for
Opposing Questions

Tammany Hall police and United
States Department of Labor agents
arrested Israel Zimmerman of the
Independent Shoe Workers Union on
Saturday when he advised the $50
workers of the Dan Palter shoe fac
tory, 151 w. 26th St., not to answer
the anti-labor QUESTIONABLE presented
by six patrolmen and agents of the
U. S. Labor Department.
Zimmerman was first roughly
handled by Captain Brady, who
headed the police, and when he con-
tinued to tell the shoe workers that
it was within their legal rights not
to answer the questions, he was
taken into custody. When arraigned
in the Jefferson Market Court be-

charge that the textile workers
and leaders conspired to MUIR
der and murdered Police Chief Ader-
holt. The affidavits placed before
the Gastonia court, on which the
prosecutions case in this trial is
based, indicate that periured, warped
and framed-up testimony against the
defendants will be used in unlim-
tied quantity.
The defense corps of seven attor-
neys, procured by the International
Labor Defense, including Tom P.
Jimison, DR.. John Randolph Neal,
prominent Knoxville attorney, other
Southern attorneys, and Leon Jo-
sephson of New Jersey, will pre-
sent affidavits and witnesses to
prove that the attack upon the tent
colony, which resulted in the death
of Aderholt and wounding of Ma
tional Textile Workers Union Or
ganizer Joe Harrison and two of
the raiding party, was part Of
campaign of terrorism inaugurated
when the strike started.
Defense witnesses will tell of the
intense brutality of the police, mill
thugs and the national guards. One
woman will show the cross engraved
on her arm by the bayonet carried
by militiaman. They will describe
the raid and destruction of the first
| relief store and headquarters, April
l8, conducted under the very nose of
the militia, and the grand jury in
vestigation which resulted in a COM
plete white wash for the raiders.
Of the three witnesses upon whose
affidavits the major charges of the
prosecution are based, Policeman
Tom Gilbert and Charles Roach, for
mer policeman and mill hanger-on.
who was invited to jump into Adler
holt's car and join the shooting par
ty, were indicted for attempted mur-
der since the Gastonia trial, for an
other shooting spree earlier in the
day. Witnesses were spirited awav
somehow on the eve of the hearing,
and no other steps were taken
against them.
Policeman Rankin, another star
witness who came with Aderholt,
is also badly blasted. In spite of
the prosecution attorneys attempt
to hush up the matter, exposed by
defense affidavits, a Gastonia dem
tist is suing the policeman for COM
ing into his office while he was alb
sent, and shooting up the place.
Additional witnesses, probably of
the same variety as Rankin and
Roach, will be brought forth bv the
mill operators attorneys, who have
declared they will accept nothing
short of death sentence.

CHICAGO, March 15-Propo-
nents of birth control are waging
a losing fight in state legislatures
throughout the country.
Results of a United Press survey
announced today disclose the law
making bodies OF states in which
birth control measures have been
introduced still are unwilling that
information about controlling the
birth rate should be given by
physicians.
The only break in the opposition
to birth control is seen in its appli-
cation to habitual criminals or per-
sons with feeble minds.
In several states laws permitting
sterilization of the extremely sub
normal have been passed or have
better than an even chance of en-
acthnent.
New York and Connecticut legis-
latures have killed legislation pro-
viding for the dissemination of birth
control information. A similar
measure is pending in Colorado with
little likelihood of passing.
Sterilization bills are pending in
Illinois and Ohio, and in North
Carolina one has been adopted pro-
viding for the disqualification of
certain inmates of feeble minded
schools and insane asylums, but
only with the consent of relatives or
guardians.
