Fur Thug Kills Man
Who Didn't Give Wife,.
Often Cut Strik ers

William Yacker, called also Joseph
Boritz, aeslugger and gangster for
the right wing fur company union,
has just been arrested for running
knife through a man, Louis Gregg,
who resented an attempt of Yacker
and some of his pals to simply walk
up to Gregg's wife and sister in a
bakery and take them away. Gregs
took the women home, and Yacker
ambushed him little later. Gregg
died the next day.
Yacker has been several times ar
rested for knitting fur strikers, but
was always released by the bosses
courts. He was charged with felon;-
Gus assault for one job, but was re-
leased in March, 1925, by Magistrate
Brodsky. In September, 1928, the
grand jury refused to indict him for
knitting another lief wing fur worker
Last October he was up on another
knife charge, but was released a
day later by Magistrate Stern.
His present difficulties did not
arise out of strike, but it is thought
he will get off easy, as he is useful
to the fur bosses and their COM
pany union, the international Fur
Workers.

The resolution begins below:
"The deepening crisis Of Ameri-

on the stock exchange, the growing
permanent army of unemployed, and
the consequent sharpening attacks
of the bosses against the living
standards of the workers which
finds it's sharpest expansion in the

which is beginning, with the aid of
the social reformists, Musteites and
A. F. of L. bureaucrats, to apply
more and more openly fascist-ter-
rorist methods to intensity the bur-
den of naturalization, to cut wages
and attempt to ward off the grow
ing crisis at the expense of the
working masses. 1t further mani
tests itself in the growing mood of
resistance and offensive struggle of
ever-broader sections of the Ameri-
can Working Glass. The immediate
task confronts the Trade Union
Unity League Of mobilizing its full
strength and of co-ordinating the
