Is Defeated

of the policeman.
Right from the start, the three
workers made militant defense ex-
posing the technicalities of the boss
courts which are used to railroad
workers. Sam Nesin asked the cop
if he wasn't one in the group that
was making a fortune framing in
nocent girls on vice charges. The
court tried to stop the questioning,
but the three defendants protested.
Nesin, Stone and Lealess all took
part in questioning the witnesses.
Thye brought out the fact that they
represented thousands of unemployed
workers who came to demand relief
at the Board of Estimates on Oct.
16, and that they were beaten up
on the. order of Mayor Walker.
After the two witnesses for the
state were put on, Nesin demanded
the case be dismissed. Walker came
into the courtroom at this time.
Nesin'S motion declared that Walker
had ordered the delegation beaten
up. He told of how they were taken
to the basement and slugged again
after they were kicked and beaten in
the Board of Estimate room.
Stone then showed the whole
frame-up and why the three were
being tried-because they demanded
relief for the unemployed and ex-
posed the grating Tammany Hall
politicians.
1t was clear then that Walker did
not want to go on the stand and be
questioned by the three workers he
had ordered beaten up. The Judges
had the whole case cooked up before
hand, as was readily apparent from
their actions. They whispered to one
another and then the presiding Judge
said that the unemployed had no
right to expose the grating politi-
clans; that they were guilty of dis
orderly conduct, but that they could
not be charged with unlawful assem-
bly,. They were then dismissed.
No worker will be fooled by this
action into believing in the fairness"
OF capitalist justice. The only reason
for the arrest in the first place was
an attempt on Walkers part to JUS
tify the ruthless slugging of the dele
cation at his orders in the city hall.
He did not want to be faced by the
workers he ordered slugged and have
his dignity ripped into by Nesin
Lealess and Stone. They learned,
too, from the Foster, Minor, Amter
case OF March 6 that these persecu-
tons arouse the workers to greater
militancy, and their fake play OF

Concrete Plans

A Daily Worker circulation con-
ference, of workers organizations
in the Bronx was held this Sunday,

senting the District Daily Worker

That every organization must order
at least one bundle a week to be
sold at meetings, affairs and to
workers in their territories. Red
Sundays to be organized to get subs
and to make conctacts with workers
in their homes. To help in the build
ing of Red Builders Clubs, and in
the building up of workers CORES
pondence from the shops.
1t was decided to hold large
affair in the Bronx for the support
of the Daily Worker. The discussion
by the delegates showed their keen
interest in building up the Daily
Worker, and really reaching the
widets number of workers with its
message. The following organiza-
tons were represented: Russian
Club, Novy Mvr, Cloakmakers Wo-
mems Council No. 1, Women's
Council No. II, No. s, No. % and
No. IL, Branches No. 116 and No. 8
end No. 1873 of the TWO, Middle

scented.

strike before the day had ended
Hundreds of shops are literally cry
ing for representatives Of the Indus
trial Union to lead them out on
strike, but are forced to wait until
strikers, busy at their picketing, can
be sent to lead them.
Heartbreaking letters, such as the
following, are received daily by the
N. T. w. I. q. This one came in
this morning:
Brothers and SISTERS
'Wiu you please come at No. 1883
Broadway (for obvious reasons we
are emitting exact location-Ed) and
kindly try to free us from slavery?
The boss is treating us like dogs,
telling us one price when we start
new style and when pay day comes
he says that he can't afford to pay
the price that he told us when we
started new style. Please help us.
We all like to join the union"
The letter was signed: "Tre girls
ALL"
Mass picketing will inspire these
girls, as well as thousands Of other
dressmakers, with enough courage to
come out, and once they are out they
will be infected by that working
class solidarity which spreads like
wildfire in every strike and makes
heroes out of many. And mass pick
citing by everyone, not needle trades
workers alone.
News from the shops in the su-
burbs, where dressmakers average SO
to SIS week for SO and so hours
of work, continue to be encouraging.
Negro, Italian and Spanish dress
makers, superb exploited and disre-
garded entirely by the I. L. G. W.,
the company union, are flocking to
the standard of the fighting Indus
trial Union.
Late reports from Philadelphia
stated that the response to the strike
call of the Needle Trades Workers
Industrial Union was excellent.
Striking dressmakers filled Bos-
lover Hall and prepared to begin
mass picketing today. Philadelphia
dressmakers suffer the same bitter
slavery that is the lot of the super
exploited dressmakers in the suburbs
and outlying sections of New York.
The Philadelphia dressmakers are
paid Sc, SO, $40 and $12 a week for
SO and 60 hours Of work.
New from the shops in the New
York suburbs continues to be encour-
aging. Negro, Spanish and Italian
dressmakers subjected to a slavery
that makes the forced labor in the
Southern states look like needle
boss's vacation in Palm Beach, are
walking out of their shops and ex-
press the determination to stay out
until their demands as members of
the N. T. w. 1. U. are won.
The daily toll of dressmaker is
something that one cannot easily be
imagined. A mad speed-up, with the
boss O. foreman always at ones
elbow yelping faster, faster and
faster" wage cuts that are quite
literally weekly occurrence, seasons
that last from four to six months a
year, unemployment and misery when
the season is over, this forced labor of
the $4,000 thousand dressmakers in
New York, Boston and Philadelphia
makes them one of the most exploited
groups of workers in this land of such
mighty exploitation.
That corrupt band of pirates, the
hateful I. L. G. W., is denying in the
capitalist press that a strike is in
progress and at the same time an
nounces that the strike was called
