Cleaner Is Expelled
from Communist Party

The Communist Party of the Uni
ted States of America, New York
District, has expelled Paul Krat,
member Of the Party and member
of the Window Cleaners Union for
the following reasons:
Paul Krat has opposed the
policies which would strengthen the
union in the fight against the en-
ployers.
2.-He is working with right wing
elements.
3.-He is self-seeking individual
and has not the interest of the work
ing class at heart.
4.-During the last strike, despite
the instruction that Party members,
regardless of whether or not the
shop in which they are working, is
settled or not, must give full time
in the strike and must not go back
to work until the strike is over,
Paul Krat remained at work in a
settled shop.
In view of the fact that Paul Krat
still pretends to be a Communist,
the district makes known this expul-
sion in order to expose him as a
renegade and as disruptive element
opposed to the interests of the work.

CHARLOTTE, N. c., June

for the defense of the % National

Testimony of the prosecution is
being dug into, and the motives of
those appearing for the Manville-
Jenckes Co. prosecution are being
laid bare.
An attempt is being made to ac-
quire additional defense counsel dur
ing this critical period. Investiga-
tion has shown that although the
Manville-Jenckes Co. with its half
million dollar blood fund has bought

The /. L. d. realizes that it is
vitality important to strain every
nerve, to mobilize every man every

history of American labor frame-up
cases shows that when once the
first conviction is secured, every
technicality is resorted to by the
prosecution to prevent review or
retrial of the cases.
The prosecutions tactics are to
rush the case through before labor

has convinced practically all Of them
that the accounts related to the

CLOAK WORKERS
FOR REAL FIGHT
Convert Fake Strike
Into Genuine Strike"

Today, at 4 o'clock in the
afternoon, the cloakmakers are
called to a giant mass meeting
at Manhattan Opera House,
34th St. and Eighth Ave-, to
act on the fraudulent strike
being called by the Interna-
tional Ladies Garment Work
ers' Union, the company union, as
a result of conspiracy arranged
with the aid and consent of the
manufacturers. The meeting is
called by the Joint Board of the
Needle Trades Workers Industrial
Union.
At this time the thousands of
cloakmakers will give their mighty
answer on the threats of the clique,
and transform the fake "strike"
into a genuine strike for the 5-day,
40-hour week, guaranteed minimum
wage scales, the right to the job,
and other necessary demands.
Call To Workers!
The following statement urging
all cloakmakers to attend the meet
ing was issued last night by the
Joint Board of the Needle Trades
Workers Industrial Union, and
signed by Joseph Boruchowitz, gen.
eral manager, and A. Wise, man.

workers of the cloak trade:
"The fake strike of the company
union must be converted into a

MORE SHOPS TO

Distribute Strike Call
by Thousands

Thousands of furriers yes
terday morning answered the
general strike call issued by the
Joint Board of the Needle
Ira d es Workers Industrial
Union.
AS a result, the fur indus
try is crippled. A large num-
Der of additional shops are expected
to go down this morning and the
strike to spread daily.
A Finish Fight.
Thus the fur workers began a
finish fight against the fur manu-
facturers which will terminate only
with the victory of the furriers and
their achievement of the following
demands: the 40-hour, 5-day week;
increase in wages; equal division of
work; no discharge; an unemploy-
ment insurance fund maintained
with the cash of the bosses, but ad-
ministered by the union; 30-hour
week during the slack period; better
conditions for young workers in the
trade, abolition of the piece-work
and speed-up system.
Mass Picketing.
A tremendous mass picketing
demonstration will be held in the
fur market this morning. These
will be repeated each day despite
the massing of hundreds of Tam
many police against the strikers,
the jailings of workers by the boss
courts and the murderous opera
tions of the gangsters of the bosses
and their company union.
Ben Gold, secretary-treasurer of
the Needle Trades Workers Indus
trial Union and chairman of the
General Strike Committee, declared
that the response of the furriers
was excellent. Figures, however, he
said, would not be available until
, today, inasmuch as all day yester-
day and last night committees were
busy registering the strikers.
Hold Strike Meetings.
Enthusiastic meetings were held
yesterday in the halls arranged for
by the union. Gold, Gross, Shapiro
and other leaders of the furriers
spoke at these meetings, besides M.
j. Olgin, editor of the Freiheit, Jew
ish Communist morning daily.
Gold yesterday charged that two
notorious gangs have already in
vaded the fur market in an effort
to intimidate the fur strikers. Both
are in the direct hire of the manu-
facturers and their puppet company
union, Gold said, and are known for
their murderous activities during
previous struggles.
One of the gangs is under the
generalship of the notorious Willie
Yacker and the other is Trenches"
murder crew.
Call Spread in Market.
Under the supervision of the
General Strike Committee, of which
Ben Gold, leader of the victorious
strike of 1926, is chairman, thou

were distributed in the fur market
early yesterday morning. This dis

 Physically afflicted in multitudes have come to the tomb during the past three weeks.
 For years, occasional cases of healing have been reported there but no great demonstrations follow ed until the recent reported healing of a young Boston, girl, with the publication of her picture. This IS believed to have started the Pli- grimage.

 A marked fatigue" in the condi- tion of Secretary Good was reported late Saturday night by physicians Fatigue is regarded as an unhope- ful sign even though the physicians said septic symptoms had not pro- gressed then for an 84-hour period which physicians had set for being the peak of the crisis, and II o'clock passed without an announcement from the bedside. It was said al midniylst, Saturday, that no mort bulletins would be issued unless there was a material change ir Secretary Goods condition.
