further wage cuts will be demanded.

Ruthless Murder.
Katovis was mercilessly and de-
liberately shot in the back by Kiritz,
who placed the police revolver so
close that a miss was impossible.
Kiritz and Carey were s!ugging and
clubbing workers in Trade Union
Unity League solidarity meeting,
January 16, for the Food Clerks
strike at Miilers Market, 161 st. and
Union Ave-, Bronx.
The police had tried to knock
the chairman from the platform,
and the workers had prevented
them. Then they drew their guns,
held them in one hand with their
clubs in the other hand; the detec-
tive gave Kiritz the order, "Shoct
to KILL and they began their as
sault on the crowd. They were ac-
ting under an injunction obtained by
a socialist party lawyer; the injunc-
tioA was later thrown out as illc-
gal.
The business men of the Bronx
grand jury are entirely in favor of
killing workers who assist in r.
strike, and have proved it by this
verdict. The Food Clerks strike
and picketing goes on, and memorial
meetings are to be held for Katovis
tomorrow.

Writing about his impressions Of
Eurasia's new republic the famous
English economist Keynes pointed
out that the popularity of modern
Russia consists not only and not
mainly in her new political and
economic regime, but also in the
new type of man evolved by the
thoroughgoing change.
This is shrewd observation.
The people of the Soviet Union real
ly have become different" and the
best way of bringing out the diff
ference between the average Rus
sian Of pre-war days and one Of to-
day is to place them side by side.
1t is, of course, a fantastic idea.

Russian Rip Van Wrinkle Hero
OF Soviet Cinema at Cameo

There is no such person to be found
as an average Russian Of pre-war
psychology, but the idea is never
theIess intriguing. And it is this
idea that fascinated the Russian
film director F. NJ, Ermler who
made such unique and compelling
use of the Rip Van Wrinkle motif in
the new Soviet film, "a Fragment
of An Empire" now showing at the
Cameo Theatre, for the second week
of its American premiere presenta-
ton.
The surrounding program has
been held over intact-a comedy
called BARRIERS College," Disney

Potash, Winogradsky
Frame Up Trial, Feb. A
Is Strikebreaking Plot

A cold, calculated frame-up, to
have prison bars halt the activities
of Irving Potash, organizer of the
Joint Board of the Needle Trades
Workers Industrial Union and Jo-
seph Winogradsky, former business
agent of the union, is evident in the
trial which begins Feb. in Special
Sessions Of the Criminal Court.
Both workers are out on $3.50
bail each, on felonious assault
charges. Both are charged with
having assaulted the leader of 4
gang of cut-throats hired to itnimi-
date workers and shops in the flu:
district that had signed agreements
with the N. T. w. l. U. Neither
Potash or Winogradsky were at the
scene of the alleged assault, Oct. Is
last.
Raising Funds
"The fake Id. G. W. dress strike
has been called about the same time
that our case is coming up" said
Potash today, chat it is clear the
right wing in alliance with the en-
ployers, are trying to frame me and
Winogradsky to keep us out of the
real strike led at the same time by
the Industrial Union"
The international Labor Defense
is fighting the case pointing out the
clear, frame-up aspects. A special
Mineola- Gastonia- Shifrin conference
Monday, Jan. 27, made the Potash.
Winogradsky case an outstanding
issue in their campaign. A commit
tee to raise funds has been ap-
pointed to meet the sharp financial
need to fight these cases.

By STANLEY w. PRENOSIL,
Associated Press Financial Editor.

NEW YORK, April 30.-The stock
market was a two-sided affair again
today, with the high-priced specialties,
oils and public utilities presenting sew
eral points of strength, while renewed
weakness developed in many OF the
steels. coppers and rails. Prices gen.
orally bounded upward at the start, ran
into a storm of selling before midday,
then made irregular recovery in the
early afternoon, only to encounter re-
newed selling.
Trading was in fairly heavy volume.
with the ticker again running several
minutes behind the market until AFTER
noon, when the ticker caught up.
Unfavorable steel and copper trade
news cast a damper on speculative en-
thusiasm. Pig iron prices were cut 5U
cents a ton in the Chicago district, and
the weekly Iron Age Review stated that
price weakness in iron and steel mas
become more pronounced" Steel lngot
production is estimated at 78 per cent
of capacity, against 20 per cenI WeeR
ago. Copper prices broke sharply on
the London metal exchange, leading TO
expectations of further cut here, PROP
ably to around IL cents pound.
United States Steel common was car
ried down more than 2 points before IL
met effective buying support; despite
the fact that the quarterly earnings re-
ported late yesterday exceeded general
expectations.
Rails continued to reflect the sharp
drop in earnings and traffic, as COM
pared with the corresponding PERIODS OF
recent years. Southern Railway Tell

and Norfolk g. Western, st. Louis-San
Francisco and few others sagged 70

Nashville, however, moved upward
against the general trend. -.
Practically all of the leading copper
stocks sold at new low levels Tor the
year. Greene Cananea, making Its first
appearance on the tape this year, solo

price of 1872 recorded last December.
Anaconda, Cerro De Pasco, Calumet d

or so among the others were common.
