Norman Thomas Offers
Social Fascist P | a n
to S a e Capitalism

Norman Thomas, who is aspiring
to play the same social-fascist role
in America as Macdonald is now
plying in England, got himself into
the bourgeois press again yesterday
when he offered to supply the CAPT
talist world with a working plan.
Capitalism, Norman thinks, is get
ting itself into frightful mess,
what with driving people out of
work, etc. And unless it gets little
more plan into it, it may actually
result in ''chaos in two generations;"
or in working class language, the
workers may and will decide to take
matters into their own hands and
wipe out the whole rotten system,
following the example of their
brothers in the Soviet Union.
Thomas wants to save capitalism
from the wrath of the workers by
getting the bosses to soften up a
little and give the workers a little
more leisure "to cultivate their
gardens and their minds" as one
capitalist paper reported it, but
above all by helping the bosses and
their police to keep the workers from
developing revolutionary struggle
against the entire capitalist system,

S0vkin0's "The Slmble Tailor"
at Second Avenue PLAYHOUSE

"The Simple Tailor" an Amkino
release, now showing at the Second
Avenue Playhouse, for the first time
in America, is a picture we have
been looking forward to for long
time.
The picture shows the life of the
Jewish workers in the Russian town.
before the Russian Revolution, plac-
ing before us the bitterness and
slavery of the Jewish workers.
The Jewish capitalist, owner o.
the shoe factory, Shklansky, how
ever, is exempted from all the suf-
ferings and prosecutions, and even
exempted from war. Motele, the
Simple Tailor, believes that in this
way he can appease the pogroms and
prosecutions usually melted out to the
Jews.
The theme of the picture, if one
could call it so, was the question,
as it the entire Jewish race, or the
Jewish working class that will solve
the problem of persecution" The
answer is seen in the Soviet Union,
as the opening and closing scenes
of the picture show. Opening with
scene in a Soviet nursery, where
Rose is taking care of the children,
she tells of her life during the World
War, the misery and torture she
had to endure because she was jew
ish and poor.

Union is holding a special midnight

him he said: "Fellows, let us have
talk; one of you, but without a
knife"
Their answer was: well cut the
belly out of you; we'll make gou-
lash out of you," and went after
him.
Shifrin tried to hold them off with
his pocketknife. Borus started to
attack Shifrin from the back and
Silver jumped at him and right into
the knife which he held out for his
defense. As the whole gang again
threatened him, Shifrin sought ref
uge in the store until he was ar
rested. Silver died in the evening.
Another Witness.
The whole fight was closely OBJ
served by Jensen, a gas-fitter. He
confirmed that the gangster car did
not stop near the store, where the
alleged "picketing" was to take
place, but near the other end of
Beck st. There they got out and
in group ran toward Shifrin.
District Attorney Ryan realized
that he was unable to twist in any
way the clear and straight testi-
mony of the defense witnesses, He,
therefore, pulled every dirty trick
he could to prejudice the jury, even
bothering god" when one of the
witnesses took his hand off the

Monday morning at II a. M, be-
fore the summary by both sides.

William Shifrin, charged with sec
ond degree murder, did nothing but
defend his life against a gang Of
thugs who pursued him in their
car and attacked him. This was
the unmistakable evidence brought
ont yesterday in the Bergen County
Court.

store at the corner Of Prospect Ave.

Union" tried to extort S. a day
from him for the union" sign Of
that scab organization. AS he did
not succeed. he told Leo Leskowitz,

Leskowitz, with other left-wing
ers, had been expelled from the
Hebrew Butcher Union" because
they exposed the crooked financial
deals of the Siskowitz clique. They
were at that time forming a new
union in which Shifrin, a furrier
and old union man, assisted them.
Leskowitz telephoned the new
union office what happened, where
upon Shifrin came up to the store.
He testified that after having
spoken to Leskowitz in the store
he walked up Beck St. with two
other butchers who had been ex-
PEELED together with Leskowitz.
There the gang of six drove up,
jumped out of the car and at them.
Four ran after Shifrin's compan-
ions, while Silver, with knife, and

INDICTMENT UNDESERVED

The Press is in receipt Of letter from L. D. Brewer
OF TINS CITY, which sincerely regret is long to
print in which he crcizes the people of the valley for
their negligence in responding to appeal for help in
searching for little Mexican child reported lost last
Saturday BraWley.
Mr. Brewer indicts the valley communities for the
murder of the child because of the apathy which he al
leges marked prosecution OF the search.
Whlle we sympath;ze with Mr. Brewers feelings we
lee also that the Indictment is exactly fair in that
dgent search conducted for the child by the she
lffs office, the Brawley police and volunteers among
the Mexican and white residents of Brawley.
We are Informed by the sheriff's office that the
sheriff and several deputies the case immed-
atey after it reported and did not give up until all
hope of finding the child alive was abandoned The
Brawiey police and friends of the family continued to
hunt for the youngster and the search has not been COM
pletely given up yet, even though it is almost week
since the child disappeared
Those who have lived in the valley any length of time
know that on many occasions when child has been re-
ported lost frequently happens the rural sections
there is little difficulty in getting searchers not
only the authorities but volunteers responding
ousy.
might also be pointed that the ority of such
cases develop the fact that child has wandered into an
irrigation ditch and has been drowned Definite
proof of the drowning is often matter of davs or
weeks. and IN some cases is never realized
irrigation district officials quick to drain bitches
and ranches readily take chance on being short of
water II they think 1t is possible to aid in the search
for lost child.
AS long there open bitches in the rural sec
tons tragedies such as the present one are certain n
happen and the only safeguard against them is con-
stant vigilance over small children, by their parents
SO heavily sted the bitches, that discovery of
drowned person is extremely difficult
AS TINS Is written, the fate of the child in question is
not known That it fell into irrigation ditch and
was drowned almost before it missed seems GER
tain 1t is doubtful if hundreds of searchers could have
done more than those who did answer the call and it
IS certainty that number of searchers could have
been able to save the chld's life.
we admire the thought behind Mr. Brewers letter,
which exposes the great heart of loving parent but
we cannot agree with his Indictment remembering as
we do any Eumber of searches work has called us
TO- IN winch we could not but admire the self-sacrfice
the neghborness and deep humanity of the people of
