THUGS IN SH|FRIN
CASE FAKE STORY
Try to Prejudice Jury
By Tricks

The whole rotten fabric of the
prosecution in the Shifrin case, with
the apparently trumped-up stories
of Borus and Kaufman, two of the
thugs who attacked Shifrin in 1928,
was brought out in the second day
of the trial yesterday. .Shifrin is
on trial on the charge of murder,
for having defended himself against
the attacks of the gangsters of the
Hebrew Butchers Union"
While in their previous testimony,
with all their lying, they still ad-
mitted that at least two of them
had "run after Shifrin," this time
they told a different tale. Marko-
WITT, the lawyer of the so-called
Hebrew Butchers Union," is di-
recting the whole frame-up from
behind the scenes. The two thugs
changed their story to the effect
that six of them in their car went
to peacefully picket" a store on
Beck ST., near Prospect Ave-, and
were attacked" by Shifrin. Borus,
however, admitted that they stopped
the car a whole long block away
from the store near Prospect Ave.

of sneaking upon Shifrin.

1000 M ETAL
WORKERS STRIKE
Resist Worsening, Call
for T.U.U.L. Aid

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, April Is,
One thousand metal workers walk
ed out here Monday in a strike
against a renewed attack on their
standards of living. The strikers
appealed to the Trade Union Unity
League in Chicago for organizers
and leadership.
The T.U.U.L. responded immedi-
ately and Nels Kjar, district secre-
tary in Chicago was sent to Indian
apolis.
The wage campaign of the bosses
to shift the burden of the economic
crisis to the shoulders of the work
ing class and to use the unemploy-
ed army as means of attacking the
wage standards of the employed
workers, has reached into every part
of the country. The metal workers
strike indicates the increased re-
sistance.

Open refusal to carry out the

of changing the classification of
