JERSEY CITY, N. j., June Co.
The race for graft privileges was in
tensified today when Mayor Frank
Hague, of Jersey City, a democrat,
was arrested ten times on as many
warrants tonight and then, under
formal arrest, paroled in his at
torney's custody after his citation for
contempt by the republican legisla-

Hague's name was mentioned in

Debates Investigation"
Gold yesterday challenged the
statement published yesterday in the
press, regarding the so-called in
vestigation made by reporters to-
gether with Charles Satisfy, head
of the company-union "Joint Coun-
GILL" "The reporters were taken by
Satisfy to only ten shops of the AS
ISOLATED Fur Manufacturers, under
contract with the company union
with which the employers are work
ing hand-in-hand," Gold said. "Of
course, these employers were able to
get plenty of scabs to fill the places
of the strikers. But these scabs are
not skilled mechanics. They did not
investigate the shops of the Fur
Trimming Association SO members
of which have applied to US for
settlement. This fact shows that
Stetsky succeeded in misleading the
reporters, and it proves our case.
Thus far in the strike, most of the
shops struck are Independents and
members Of the Fur Trimming AS
sociation. The strike is just be-
ginning to spread and the Associated
Fur Manufacturers shops will be
taken out on strike very soon. The
fact that in addition to the two hun
bred independent shops, % members
of the Fur Trimming Association
have applied to the union for settle
ment, proves that the strike is effec-
tive and that the ranks of the en-
ployers are breaking. This is the
first significant victory of the left
wing in splitting the Association and
will be followed by further victories
in forcing the employers in both as
sociations to sign an agreement with
the N. T. w. /. u"

ANOTHER ROTE
EAHNE EDITOR
is Arrested
Acquit Communist for
Killing Fascist
(WireIess by Imprecorr.)

BERLIN, June 25.-Fritz Hampei,
the "feuilleton" editor of the Rote
Fahne, whose pseudonym is "Slang"
has been arrested and charged with
preparation of high treason"
After seven weeks Of prohibition
with a two-day break, the Rote
Fahne appeared Sunday with lead
ing article declaring that the bloody
zoergiebel is giving the workers
newspaper no breathing space.
The day before the appearance
two editors were arrested in order
to hinder the appearance of the
paper. The other editor was flooded
with official invitations to appear
before the magistrate. Zoergeibel,
the paper states, feels that the Com
munist Party is winning new masses
away from reformism. He is there
fore preparing new repressions.
Always for Workers.
Legal or illegal, the article says,
the Rote Fahne remains the deadly
enemy of bourgeois society and the
advocate of the oppressed disinher-
tied. AS Karl Marx wrote 80 years
ago when the Neue Rheinische lei
tung was prohibited by the royal
government with literally the same
argument used by the present Ger
man republican" overnmen t
against the Rote Fahne, the Rote
Fahne says: prohibited or permit
ted, we fight for the emancipation
of the working class"
Militants Winning.
In the shop councils elections in
the state shipyard at Minden, the
militant opposition won five seats
and the reformists only one. This
was after the reformist right wing
had expelled the opposition leader
from the union.
After a trial of six days, the
young Communist, Herbert Meyer,
has been acquitted of the murder
Of the German fascist. Schaffer, who
was killed on December 9, in Karls-
horst at Berlin, during an anti-fas-
cist demonstration.
Zoergiebel used the killing of
Schaffer as his pretext for imposing
the prohibition of the May Day DEM
onstrations. The bourgeois and So
cial-democratic press cam p a i G n
against the Communist Party and
the Red Front Fighters League on
account of the killing of Schaffer
now collapses.

IN possession Of the strikers at the
tent colony.
As part of a campaign of harass-
ing the strikers, and to break up
the new tent colony if possible, SAM
tary officials today visited the
tents. Their main attack centered
around the cabbage, which they
claimed was "too near the stables, "
and "might kill so strikers" T.
The strikers in the colony replied
"You all are visiting US only to be
aggravating, and if the cabbage
killed so strikers, you'd not mind"
Find Furniture Broken.
The strikers insistent demand for
their furniture back, which had been
taken from the first tent colony and
stored by the Gastonia city govern
ment, has resulted in victory. Tho
city today agreed to send it back,
and pay the expenses of moving it
to any part of the city. Tomorrow
some Of it will be taken to the
new tent colony.
The credit companies, however,
are confiscating some of the strik-
crs' cooking stoves which were
bought on the installment plan. The
strikers are cooking over open fires
and fireplaces.
Much of the recovered furniture
is found to have been broken, and
clothes and bedding missing. Alfred
Wagenknecht, national secretary of
the Workers international Relief,
demanded of the city authorities the
return of the organizations truck
ard other property confiscated by
the police during the raids on the
tent colony, and got it. He also to-
day requested possession of the lot
where the National Textile Workers
Union and Relief Headquarters were
located, and the city manager asked
for a conference with the defense at
torneys on the matter.

FxneI Cleveland Militant.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, June Is
Sarah Holman, an old member of
the Amalgamated Clothing Workers
Union and a fighter in the labor
movemers csr many lars, has been
expelled by the machine, without
even the formality of a trial"
This action was taken by Pepper
corn, the local lieutenant of Hill
man, because she had repeatedly
pointed out that the leadership of
the union was working hand in hand
with the bosses, that there is no
activity, no organizational work, and
that the membership is continually
falling off.
Sarah Holman has appealed the
action of the local bureaucrats to the
General Executive Board in a sharp
letter giving the details in connec-
ton with her expulsion. How the
Hillman machine will act one can
easily predict, for it's bootlicking
lackey in Cleveland is unquestionably
merely carrying out the policy of
the national machine to expel every
militant.

Greetings From Chicago.
]. Louis Engdahl, acting editor of

strikers the greetings of the great
demonstration in Chicago, and told
how the 27 imprisoned for taking
part in it inscribed on their cell
walls a hammer and sickle with
slogans against the frame-up in
Gastonia.
They were denounced for this in
a long harangue by the Judge when
they appeared in court. Engdahl
pointed out that this shows the
capitalists everywhere identify their
interests with the prosecution and
mill owners in Gastonia, and called
for the workers to show the same
solidarity, and to advance against
the frame-up, mot under the banner
of the A. F. of L., nor the white

party, but under the scarlet banner
of revolutionary workers and the

Try To Stifle Union.
"This frame-up against the Gas
tonia prisoners is an attempt on
the part Of the capitalist forces to
stifle the campaign for the organ
ization of the unorganized and for
the struggle against capitalist ra-
tionalization.
"The reactionary bureaucracy of
the A. F. of L. and of the United
Textile Workers, the fake "progres-
sive" Music movement and the So
cialist party have betrayed the tex
tile workers of Elizabethton and
Gastonia and are working hand in
hand with the bosses against the
workers.
American capitalism hopes in
this way to prevent the growing
solidarity of Negro and white work
ers, to stop the fight against child
labor, to put an end to all obstacles
standing in the way of its prepara-
tons for the coming imperialist
war.
"The struggle of the southern tex
tile workers is a struggle of the
entire American working class and
that only through working class
solidarity can be won the strike now
being led by the National Textile
Workers Union, therefore Be 1t
