Shifrin, the Mineola and Gastonia

principal topics at the mass meeting
tonight in Irving Plaza, when fur
Their mobilization of New York's
class conscious workers to fight for
these militants will take place.
Three of the four mentioned cases
have arisen out of the collaboration
of Tammany cops, thugs and their
socialist party allies.
Shifrin's case will come up the
third week in February. The Min
cola case may be called at any time.
The Gastonia appeal is costing thou
sands of dollars. Steve Katovis,
dying, lies in the hospital with a
policeman day and night at the
foot of his bed.
The International Labor Defense,
fighting these major cases, has is
sued invitations to every working
class organization, every fraternal
society to be represented at the
meeting tonight. Besides, many of
the defendants and other prominent
speakers, a World War veteran,
crippled and unable to walk, will
speak.
The huge expenses incidental to
these workers. have
strained the resources of the I. L.
D. AS a result, thousands of work
ers are called on to volunteer for
the mass tag days, Saturday and
Sunday, in all parts of the city, to
collect funds Immediately necessary
in the defense of Shifrin, the Min

for medical aid for Katovis.

Secretary Stimson, the great
apostle of "frankness," the self

that they were trying to work out

were off till Monday, to allow Slim

So obvious is the secrecy and so
embarrassing is the failure even to
agree on an agenda (what to dis
cuss), that the best press prosti-

excuses. sit hardly seems fair
says one, to criticize the conferences
for not having program. Then
it is attempted to explain" the

| Party was shot in the back by a
policeman, and now lies at deaths
door.
1.-THE police showed their further
courage by beating up sir aoomen
who demonstrated in behalf of the
food clerks at 161st St. and Union
Ave, yesterday. These vicious cos
sacks are carrying out the orders
of Wall Street bankers and the
manufacturers of this city, who are
trying to crush the rising revolt
of the workers under the leadership
of the Communist Party. The boss
es of this city, who hoped that the
Party would be destroyed by the ex-
pulsion of the renegade Trotzkyites
and Lovestoneites, got shock in the
splendid Madison Square Garden
meeting, which demonstrated that
the Communist Party is the leader
of the masses of militant workers.
"Not satisfied with these meas
ures, the courts are issuing wide
sweeping injanetions, which the
workers are defying-and correctly.
Then Paragraph 600," which re-
lates to contempt of court, is ap-
piled, and the workers are sent to
Jail for go days.
"If the bosses of this city think
they will dampen the fighting spirit
by their barbarous action, they are
mistaken. The workers will fight all
the harder. They will form their
Workers Defense to protect them
selves from the murderous attacks
of the police and their A. F. of L.,
socialist and gangster allies.
"The workers of this city know
the connection of the courts, which
send honest, fighting workers to Jail,
with the underworld. Judge WHALE,
one of the capitalist judges, is typ
zeal OF what the workers must ex-
pect-police justice, torture, murder,
prison.
mot satisfied with taking away
the workers rights, not satisfied
with breaking their promise" to
Hoover at the conference in Noyem-
Der, the bosses of this city are
reducing wages, increasing hours,
and throwing tens of thousands of
workers into the streets to starve.
"There are hundreds of thousands
of unemployed workers in New York
for whom the city is making no pro-
vision. Mayor Walker may increase
his wages at the expense of the
city, while the workers cannot find
a job. These workers are hungry
and demand that they be given re-
lief. WORK OR RELIEF is becom-
ing the cry, and the unemployed
workers will gather at City Hall to
demand help.
WORKERS OF NEW YORK:
"Come to City Hall by thousands.
Show the bosses of this city that
New York workers know how to
fight for their rights. Show the
police that you will not be intmi-
dated by their terror. Men and wo-
