" HALEN, GRAIN
ACT FOR BOSSES.
AGAINST J0BLESS.
Seek Class Revenge
Against Leaders

Exposing the open class nature Of
the attempts of the capitalists in
New York to revenge themselves
against the leaders of the Commu-
mist Party and the Trade Union
Unity League, for modelling the
mass of unemployed workers to de-
mand Work or Wages, the New
York District of the Communist
\ Party says in its statement on the
Foster, Minor, Amter, Raymond and
Lester:
"This is an attempt of the bosses
Of New York, through their police
commissioner, Whalen, and District
Attorney Grain, as we'll as the whole
gamut of the capitalist court ma
chinery, to railroad to Jail the rep
resentatives of 10000 workers at
the Union Square unemployment
demonstration on March 9th. I'M
mediate mobilization of the workers
is imperative to stop the attempts
of the capitalists to bury our lead
ers in Jail for long terms. Defeat
the boss class revenge against the
ioblessl Demand the immediate re-
lease Of the heroic March 9Th fight
ers for work or wages!
"Whalen through his corrupt
capitalist state and courts, through
his Whales and Sabattinos, grafteTs
and enemies of the working class,
is seeking revenge for the capital
lists against the leaders of the revo-
lutionary movement because Of their
successful mobilization Of the unem-
ployed workers for a struggle for
Work or Wages.
eve can also assure Mr.. Whalen
that the workers are not at all i'm
pressed by his efforts to strut about
as a hero Nor will any worker
take seriously the stories for which
he is the inspiration that William
2. Foster, Robert Minor, and l. AM
ter, who have a record Of years of
courageous participation in scores
Of working class struggles, ran
away from the struggle at the /
Union Square demonstration. All /
the workers who were there saw
them take the lead of the march
and fight side by side with them to
defend the unarmed men, women. |
and children who were savagely as
saulted by the fully armed, uni
formed and plain clothes thugs on
the orders of the brave Mr.. Wha- |
len, who sat surrounded by a small |
army Of personal bodyguard.
"Foster, Minor, Amter, and the
other members Of the delegation
who are now in jail, are there be-
cause they carried out the will of
the workers who elected them and /
proceeded to City Hall Park which |
had been turned into an armed en-
campnent as soon as the fight |
around Union Square was over.
They went to City Hall to present
the demands of the unemployed to
Mayor Walker regardless of per-
sonal consequences to themselves !
In doing so they acted in accord
ance with their duty to the unem-
ployed.
"Neither Whalen's yarns or at
tempted class revenge, nor the pres
emit efforts Of the treacherous re-
fornists of the A. F. of J.. and the
socialist party, can stem the rising
tide of revolt on the part of en-
ployed and unemployed workers.
The conference called by these
agents Of the bosses is intended to
confuse and defeat the movement of
the unemployed.
"The Communist Party will sup
port with all its forces the national
conference called by the TUUL for
March 29th. The workers who have |
seen the A. F. of L. and socialists
make previous attempts to stab
their movement in the back, will not
be misled. They will follow the
