Fridays World says that Walker
saw "the beating of Sam Nessin,
secretary of the unemployed council
of the Trade Union Unity League,
and three of his fellow members of
the Communist delegation, by a
group Of twenty or thirty police
men," There were closer to a hun
bred cops who jumped on them.
Following the lead of the other
capitalist papers, the World does
not mention the reason Nessin was
slugged. They suppress the fact
that Nessin exposed Walker and his
rotten crew as grafters, who were
dividing millions among themselves
while the unemployed starved.

brutality, goes on to say: Perhaps

October Gath, 25th and 26th, will
be Tag Days for collecting funds
for the Communist Campaign.
The Red Campaign is greatly in
need of funds to spread out lis ac-
tivity, to hire halls, arrange dem
onstrations, distribute literature,
etc. The Communist campaign has
been greatly hampered by lack of
funds. Unemployment among the
working masses has had its effect
on the flow of contributions for con-
Quoting the Communist campaign.
But the working masses are the
only source to supply the means for
conducting Communist campaign
activity. The revolutionary work
ers Of Greater New York are called
to participate in collecting money

Watch for the stations in your
district. Report to the stations in

NEW YORK. - Workers of the
Fourteenth Congressional District,
Manhattan, have clear example of
the anti-working class nature of the
fake socialist" party in the way the
Socialist judge, Jacob Panken,
evicted thousands of penniless
workers and their families from
their homes during the ten years he
served on the municipal bench.
The Fourteenth Congressional
District seat in Congress is being
contested against Panken and the
other capitalist political parties in
this election, by Alexander Tracten-
berg, candidate of the Communist
Party.
Panken, says Tractenberg, was
elected on the supposed "anti-war"
reputation of the socialist" party
during the war days of 1917. But
like, the rest of the fake socialists"

RED CANVASSERS TO
VISIT WORKERS HOMES

With the slogan Canvass the
homes of the Workers for the Com
munist Ticket" the Communist
Campaign Headquarters has issued
call to all members of the Party
and to all members of revolutionary
fraternal organizations to call at
the Communist Election Headquar-
tiers in the various districts Sunday
morning, in order to do some can
vassing for the Red campaign.
Canvassing is one of the most
important as well as interesting
jobs in the revolutionary campaign
activity. The tens of thousands of
workers that have signed the petit
tons for placing the Communist
Candidates on the ballot, must be
visited, as well as the homes of
workers who for various technical
and other reasons need not sign.
Mobilize the workers of your
shop to greet Foster, Minor and
Amter at the Madison Square
arden. October 21st.

tried to present these demands at
an advertised open hearing on the
budget. Afterwards, the whole dele
cation was beaten up. Engdahl,
outside, tried to speak to the crowd,
and it was attacked by mounted po-
lice and many injured. He. was
then arrested.
In the criminal court building yes
terday, the case was continued to
Oct. 81, on demand of International
Labor Defense Attorney Brodsky, in
order to subpoena Mayor Walker
and the whole board of estimates.
The three had been held without
bail in night court by Magistrate
Gottlieb, the judge who is so vim
dictive against food and needle
strikers that he follows them around
from court to court to be sure that
they get Jail for violation of injunc-
tions, etc.
Engdahl had told Gottlieb in open
court:
Il know you judges" retorted
Engdahl. ~ know how sincere you
are. If you were sincere you'd have
our gangster Mayor Jimmie Walker
where I'm standing now-him and
all the grafters, including judges"
Gottlieb then ordered the police to
drag him away, and as Engdahl left
the room he called on the workers
to carry on the fight for work or
wages. The enthusiastic workers
cheered so loudly that they could
be heard in the street, and Gottlieb
rallied at them, and orders the ar

NEW YORK.-The workers of

strike against all wage cuts, to
build the unemployed councils and
the militant unions of the Trade

ers the best he could as city judge.
For War on the Workers
One of the workers thrown into
the street by this Socialist" Judge,
came to the Campaign Committee
of the Communist Party, on the
fifth floor, IS East Twelfth Street,
yesterday, and told the following
story:
His name is Harry Flat, a union
carpenter of Local 1856, who lived
in May, 1921, at 35s Cherry Street,
in rickety tenement owned by "a
landlord named Silverman. Pipes
were leaking all over the house and
when Silverman refused to repair
them, the tenants declared a rent
strike to force the landlord to fix
the house so they could live in it.
The landlord tried to get Tam
many Judge Levy to evict them, but
he twice threw the case out of the
court. But he was a wise landlord.
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1930-10-18

could stop eviction by going to an
other socialist" scoundrel, Vladeck,
whose friend Goldowsky of the
"Forward' crowd had sort Of fake
tenants league" at the time. Vlad-
eek gave Flat a letter TO take to
Panken's house and Flat was sure
that the socialist" party was see
ing that "justice' was being done.
Evicted by Socialists"
But, 10! On a Friday, during his
absence and while his wife was alone
everything was thrown out of the
house by socialist" Judge Panken's
order of eviction against Flat. The
furniture not even being allowed to
stay on the sidewalk, but was carted
away on a city truck to Chambers
Street.
Flat still had faith in the Social

told him: "Panken is damn fool"

enough money in it.
Although huge globs of graft
were almost a daily event in
Walkers life, the two largest
sources of loot were the Walker

of thousands Of dollars were paid
