SHIPL.ACOFF in
MOVE TO RETURN
Fancy LeatherW orkers
Face Corrupt Clique

NEW YORK.-The Trade Union
Unity League Fancy Leather Goods
Section issued a call yesterday to
all the fancy leather goods work
ers to defeat the takers of the So
cialist party and the United He
brew Trades who are planning to
take direct control of the pocket
book workers union and turn it into
a company union.
The corrupt practices of the
Shiplacoff administration in the
Pocketbook Workers Union brought
forth such hatred from the mem
bership that the whole clique was
forced to withdraw in the last cleo
ton. Shiplacoff himself was forced
to resign as manager of the union
a few months later. The member
ship holds Shiplacoff, and the cor
rupt individuals whom he shielded,
responsible for the shortage Of
$265,000 from the union treasury
and for the entire situation in the
trade.
The new administration, many of
whom were part and parcel of the
old clique, came into leadership Of
the Pocketbook Workers Union
through a promise that they would
bring the guilty corruptionists to re-
sponsibility.' That promise was
never carried out, as was predicted
by the left wing. Instead, we find
the old clique raising it's head again,
showing in every way that they
mean to force themselves back into
office.
Socialists Support Grafters.
The statement of the left wing
further points out that the new ad-
ministration in their maneuver
with the so-called impartial COM
mittee of the labor movement, Nor
man Thomas, Panken, Vladik, etc.
who are supposed to investigate the
record of the old clique, has proved
that it is no more interested in a
real investigation than the old
clique was.

zAUSNER GANG
ISSUES UKASE

NEW YORK.-With utter disre-
gard of the expressed wishes of the
membership, the Zausner machine
in the Painters Union, through it's
general executive board, has arbi-
trarily decided on affiliation to the
Building Trades Council of the fas-
cist Brindell.
Coming at this time it is part
of the furious drive the Zausner
gang is making upon the painters,
rs per cent of whom are looking
for work, while the rest suffer from
intense speed-up and disguised
wage-cuts. Feeling that closer con-
tact with Brindell will help him in
suppressing the rising revolt of the
painters, Zausner made little eff
fort to show his purpose in affilia-
ton to the Building Trades Council.
Obedient to the ukase of the gen.
eral executive board, the district
council docilely voted to accept the
order for affiliation.
The ferment among the painters
has already given rise to action
committees for fight against the
general executive board and the
Zausnera clique. The latest locals
electing committees of action of this
kind are 400, 84S and 892.

told also by Vause (Cruso's testi-

to a doubt Cruso expressed: "That

When people who had their money
at stake would grow skeptical of

them with his integrity, would say:

S25O,OOO Bride, 100000 Swindle of Foreign

Evidence He Told Assistant, II Know How to
Maneuver Books, I Have a Pull"

A small part of the rotten polit-
ical machinery which runs New
York City has become visible since
W. Bernard Vause, corrupt politi-
clan, Tammany Hall man, and, up
until June 8, county judge of Kings
County, N. Y, has been charged
with mail fraud, perjury and grand
larceny.
Vause takes his place with vi
tale and a long list of "Your Hon.
ors" on the New York bench, as a
man who got caught. There are
plenty more who are not caught
yet. Slaves to the employers who
have bought their services, subject
to exposure if they cross the big
business interests in the slightest
degree, the unspeakably rotten
New York judges have the nerve
land are compelled by their bosses)
to mete out savage sentences for
assault on food, needle, shoe and
other worker pickets whom the po-
lice first beat up and then charge
with assault" They squirt ven
omed words and three-year sem
fences on the leaders of the unem-
ployed, who are brought into their
clutches by police czars.
A Shiny Trail.
In 1924, shortly after receiving
his appointment to the bench, Judge
Vause commenced a series of
crooked negotiations to obtain for
the United American Lines a ten
year lease on two North River piers
which are city owned.
Such a lease can only be granted
through the Sinking Fund Commits
sion, which is composed of the
mayor and other high" officials.
For this reason the United Ameri-
can Lines found in Vause, who had
represented them in 1928 and be-
cause of his Tammany Hall influ-
ence and political pull, the ideal
lackey to serve as a connecting link
between their pier-leasing ambi-
tons and the civic group necessary
to turn the deal.
1t Took S250,OO0.
A slush fund of S250,000 must
have been necessary to swing the
transaction, for that was the amount
which made its way from the hands
of the American United Lines to
the pocketbook of W. Bernard
Vause. In 1925 the pier lease was
granted the United American Lines,
and Vause, because he had served
the big boss well, received the addi-
tional lolly-pop consideration of a
trip to Europe. Although it was
against the state constitution for
him to accept ''free passage" the
Judge nevertheless enjoyed himself
abroad.
When the investigation COM
menced to take legal form and the
serious charges were placed against
Judge Vause, he was allowed to
walk about under a small bail of
$4,000. This happened in the cor
rupt city which jailed Foster,
Minor, Raymond and Amter for
representing the class-demands of
10000 unemployed workers and
their sympathizers; they were at
first denied bail, later admitted to
s12,500 bail and now, during ap-
peal, are altogether denied bail
again.
