ISTHE SOCIALISM, LESS
CORRUPT THAN TAMMANY?

, man himself" because of the demands of the
left wing) for accepting brides from manufac-
turers and installed again into office in 1928,
and by Hillman himself"
That Morris Kaufman and the International
Fur Workers Union ("restored" to "life" by
Edward F. McGrady who was awarded medal
by the famous" Paul Vacarelli, Tammany
gangster, bootlegger, now head of the Loyal
Labor Legion) is vertable Forty Thieves
den hardly needs proving. Probably the only
court records in existence showing that a
needle trade union supplies bail for murderers
of the underworld were the records published
June rs, 1921 showing that the International
Fur Workers Union had supplied bail for two
well-known gangsters arrested for murder
attack upon fur workers. The gangster-
lawyer, former Tammany assistant district at
torney, Markovtch, steadily engaged by the
Socialists" openly defended these murderers,
and had their thrown out of court be-
cause the judge Ian Ewald, or Vitale) found
that the attacked workers did not believe in
god
And Kaufman, you know, has given his en-
dorsement for Haywood Broun. So the New
York Times has announced with flourish.
In February, 1880, of Schlesingers
gangsters, Chauffeur Ashkenas" attacked
and killed Observation-Disclosures, Rothenberg,
by mistake. A prostitute, also engaged by the
Schesinger gang, has confessed to detectives
who had trailed her to Montreal, that she had
lured Rothenberg to death 1.-THE confession was
printed in the World and Times June last).
And Schlesinger, you know has given his
endorsement for Haywood Broun. So the New
York Times has announced with flourish.
(Schlesinger is one of the "big chiefs" of
the Forward racket, drawing some ten thou
sand dollars annually for advertising COM
missions."J
Facts about Socialist" gangsterism could
fill just many volumes as socialist" cor
ruption. Needless to say that the socialists"
work hand in glove with Tammany-corrupt
judges, 'fixers," etc. Hillquit's deal with the
Tammany district attorney mentioned in our
first article being just one of many instances.
1t may be worth while mentioning here the
letter written by former Tammany Police Com
missioner Warren to the Muteite and Brook
wood graduate" julius HICKMAN, one of
Schlesinger's assistants in the Ladies' Gar
ment company union.
Thanks for your good Wishes" Warren
wrote to HICKMAN April Ia, 1927 81 shall
endeavor so to conduct the office of commits
sioner of police that upon my retirement you
will not regret having congratulated me-" "a
photostatic copy of that letter was reproduced
in the Daily Worker.)
No, the socialists" have not regretted. Not
for nothing is a Tammany police commissioner
congratulated. Two months after, thousands
of policemen flooded the fur market in order
to drown the strike of the left wing fur union
in blood (McGrady's gangsters must not be
overooked)
This may be enough for short article but
one more case, showing the brazenness and the
shameessness of the Socialists" must be
mentioned For, if most of the above facts
might have been blurred" Overlooked" by
mice people," the Karlin case is only few
months old July % last the Daily Worker
printed an article showing that Karlin, was
one of most inscriptions band of "thieves
and informers" that robbed a group of jew
elry workers brought over here from Switzer-
land by the Bulova Watch Company of New
York. This gang of Socialists" (Karlin,
Beardsley Cannon) had informed the labor
department that the workers ought to be de-
ported Tin order to get the governments re-
Ward) and at the same time were getting
money fro mthe workers (''fees" for Karlin)
so that they might not be deported The ar
ticle was well supported by photostatic docu-
ments that were drafted and signed in Karlin's
office (the workers, of course, were deported).
The Forward racketeers mumbled something
but could not deny the facts. The "transac-
ton with the Labor Department was mot SO
clear even to hat salacious sheet. Still,
Karin was nominated as candidate for attor-
ney general on the Socialist ticket Karln!
will take care of "justice" and "honesty.'
And the socialists" have the affrontery to
talk about the corruption of Tamnany with
whose services they help themselves SO liber
ally).
Graft, corruption, the underworld, are or
ganic outgrowths of capitalist society. The
Socialists" who stand for capitalism (never
mind their babblingD who live like capital
lists, are capitalists, are. of necessity organ
ically connected with the underworld and Just
as corrupt as their ally Tammany. Vote for
fight against capitalism and all its servants.
