Is years hard labor! The other. &C

SEVERELY BEAT
JAILED WORKERS
Prisoner Tells About
Police Brutality

The story of how he was taken
from a cell in the 54th street magis-
trate's court building and severely
beaten by two guards and detec-
tive was last night told the Daily
Worker by Aaron Chorover, who, to-
gether With IL others were arrested
Friday afternoon following the Com
munist demonstration before the
Chinese consulate.
They were sentenced by Magis-
trate Bushel who, while in the hire
of the cafeteria bosses association,
sent hundreds of cafeteria strikers
to long jail terms.
Several thousand workers had
demonstrated against the threatened
imperialist attack on the Soviet
! Union.
Friday afternoon his pedigree"
was taken by attendants, and it was
obvious that the police thugs were
ranked by Chorover's answer to the
question as to his religion. These
worthless said nothing at the time
but thu rext morning they came to
Chorover's cell, called him out,
yanked him into a corner and with
out further ceremony preceded to
give him a beating As a result his
left eye was discolored and two
teeth knocked out. He was then
dragged back into his cell.
! Chorover pointed out to the
Daily Worker that the brutality of
the Tammany police was not con-
fined to the attacks upon the work
ers appearing at the demonstration,
but that word was passed down the
line to the uniformed thugs in the
jails to beat up the workers who
fell into the hands of the capitalist
| courts.

James Rae Clarke is officially the
goat for the $5,OO0,O00 failure of
the Clarke Bros. bank some weeks

&c counts in federal and state courts,
of using the mails to defraud, swim
ding, ETC., and by promise to re-

expects to save his associates and
get off with lot less than the 127
years which anybody but banker
would get for such a list of frauds.
The depositors who trusted
Clarke Bros. with their insurance
money and the next months house
rent, will get maybe five cents on
the dollar, at some future time as
yet unset.
Tammany Judge Mancuso, chair
man of the board of the looted City
Trust Co., whose depositors are also
wondering when and if they will ever
get any of their money back, is not
indicted, but will be called as a wit
ness before the special grand jury

Don't Strike" Plead Takers.
One after another exhorted the
workers to "remain calm," warned
them against the dangers involved
in a general strike" and advised the
continuation of the present policy
of urging the public to keep off the
street cars, not to cook with gas
and burn candle-ight." To prevent
rank-and-file discussion from the
floor the two meetings which were
held were hurriedly adjourned at
1850 p. m. after the reports" were
heard.
Today was the 22nd since the
workers quit their platforms after
the Public Service Corporations re-
fused to recognize the union or re-
new the contract and declared for
the open shop. The. beginning of
the strike was marked by militant
action of the strikers, who succeeded
in completely tying up the service
ard driving cars off the street.
Two weeks ago Judge Borah, of
the u. S. District Court and lackey
Of big corporations, came to the res
cue of the company by issuing
weeping injunction against strik-
ers' interference" with the opera
ton of street cars. For the past
ten days U. S. Marshal Victor Loi-
sci has been experimenting the re-
sumption of car service, with the aid
OF imported strikebreakcrs and

Leadership Vacillatos.
Since then the strike leadership
has followed the policy of vacijlation
and has centered efforts on coax
ing the Public Service Corporation
into arbitrating the dispute" with
the Garments Union, certain
method of selling out the strikers.
According to the leaders, the prin-
ciple of arbitration is the only issue
at stake and they have been looking
to various sources for an arbiter ac-
ceptable to the company-from To-
eel citizens committee to Secretary
Of Labor Davis at Washington.

IN connection with the anniversary
of the murder of Matteotti, an anti
fascist demonstration took place in
Bellizona in which social democrats,
Communists and anarchists took
part jointly.
The social democrats brought
many bourgeois anti-fascists with
them and the meeting received a
definitely nationalist character.
When the assembled workers ener-
getically demanded that an Italian
social democratic fugitive. named
Tonello, who was present at the
meeting, should speak, the social
democratic leaders caused him to be
removed from the hall. Tonello and
representative of the C. P. of Italy
addressed the workers in the open
air outside the hall.
The workers are embittered by the
Elton of the social democratic lead

tion to take place yesterday, pre-
ferred cautiously to postpone it
