STATE TRIES TO
MURDER TOILERS
LID Will Defend the
Paterson Victims

NEWARK, N. 1.-THE workers of
New Jersey are mobilizing their
forces to stop the legal murder of
the five Paterson textile workers who
are being held in prison today on
frame-up charge of murder.
This frame-up grew as result of
the activities of the National Textile
Workers Union in Paterson which is
organizing the textile workers against
wage cuts and the terrific speed-up
and all kinds of efficiency schemes.
At a defense conference called in
Paterson by the International Labor
Defense and the National Textile
Workers Union where quite num-
hcr CT workers organizations were
represented, joint committee was
selected which was named the Pater-
son Textile Workers Defense Com
rrittee. A plan of action was made to
extend the defense campaign thru
out the state of New Jersey.
A general mobilization is to be
carried out of the membership of the
I, L. D. branches and sympathetic
organizations all over N. j. for a
house-to-house collection on Sunday,

new FAKE UNION
FOR CIIAUFFEURS

NEW YORK.-The officials of the
International Brotherhood of Team
sters, Chauffeurs, Stablemen and
Helpers of America are said to be
looking with favor on new local
being formed by one of the big bosses
in the taxi industry.
Larry Fay, head of the FL Fay
Taxicab Co., recently acquitted with
60 others in connection with an in
dictment charging violation of the
state business law, announces that his
office is taking a dollar month dues
from the taxi drivers and giving them
membership cards in something he
calls 1.-THE TaXicab Workers Union,
Inc" He makes a demagogic play
of winning for the drivers a six-hour
week, no lay-offs, club houses, insur-
ance and free tooth filling, etc.
This new organization seems to be
a company union of about the worst
type, but Fay says he is applying to
join the A. F. L. with it soon, and
A. F.. L. officials are reported in the
press to have listened interestedly,
and to have stated that the question
of accepting the union" and issuing
a local charter was up to the Inter
national Brotherhood of Transfers,
Chauffeurs, etc.

Luxury Homes for
Parasites; F | o p
Joints for Workers

NEW YORK.-While millions of
unemployed not only starve but
have no place to lay their heads,
the parasites roll in luxury and
continuously increase the splendor
of their living quarters.
A letter sent out by the Berlock
Company, real estate, to many
wealthy parasites tells of the mag
nificent palaces it has for their
comfort. The letter tells of "a
most gorgeous and unusual duplex
furnished penthouse apartment on
Park Avenue" which sis really
beyond description-fourteen rooms
and five baths. Entrance hall is
a high domed room in Spanish
tile about SO by 90 Very large
drawing room. Beautifully panelled
DIM ng room. Charming solar
ium-two large master bedrooms,
three colored tile baths and bar
on first floor of duplex. Very large
terraces surrounding the entire
apartment which is beautifully
furnished and can be seen by ap-
pointment only"
Most of the workers who built
this palatial dwelling for some
parasite swine are on the bread
lines while others sleep in the
vermin infested city flop houses.

EXTRA PAY FOR
ROBBINGWORKERS
Wooden Trust Gives A
Bonus to Officers

NEW YORK.-The New York
Times carries hidden in an inside
page little announcement from
Springfield, Mass, saying that the
American Wooden Co. stockholders
have approved plan by which the
three leading officers of the COM
pany are given neat raise in sal
Try if the company makes over a
CERTAIN amount.
After 100000 net profit has been
made the bonus goes into effect
Lionel j. Noah, president, then will
get $4,000 year extra salary if the
company makes another $1,000, 900,
and tnother $4,000, making 100000
in addition to his regular yearly SAL
airy, if the company makes total
net profit of 100000. If it makes
still more profit, Noah gets per
cent of that. Similar and slightly
lower bonuses are given Moses Pen
delton, president, and William
B. Warner, chairman of the execu-
tive committee.
The beauty CT this is that the
American Wooden Co., run by these
officers, this year instituted savage
wage-cuts in all its mills, until the
Lawrence strike and other strikes
stopped some OF them. But some of
the mills are still cut. Every dollar
saved from the workers adds to
Noah's bank account.

DEMAND 5000
RETAIN JOBS
Workers Cheer Speech
of De- ogates

ROCHESTER, N. Y, April Five
hundred Rochester workers marched
on to the City Hall from Washington
Square Monday night and invided
the invaded the Council Chamber to
demand a stop to the starvation pro-
gram of the City Administration.
The Unemployed Council through
continued struggle forced the city
last December to provide employment
for part Of Rochester's 10000 unem-
ployed. Five thousand workers got
jobs for two days a week under the
belly-robbing stagger system. Five
thousand workers back into the
streets to starve.
The spokesman for the unemploy-
cd, Henry Brandt and Josephine
Bogdan, exposed the Councilmen and
accused them of being part and par
eel of the ruling class, doing every
thing in their power to help crush
the living standards of the workers.
The cheering of the 500 workers
who packed the Council Chamber
and the lobby of the City Hall added
to the discontinue of the City Faith
ers who walked out when they were
challenged to answer the unemploy-
ed. The local press, true to its coll
ors, carried articles stating that the
unemployed had again abused" the
poor City Council.
After the demonstration, the work
ers again marched through the
streets of the city to the Labor Ly-
ceum. $50 st. Paul ST., the head
quarters of the Unemployed Council
Traffic was stopped. The workers
displayed militant spirit, cheering
on the STREETS and singing. BY the
end of the march, every worker in the
parade was singing Solidarity For
ever" and other workers songs. BY
the unanimous vote of the workers. a
mass meeting has been arranged for
Thursday night at 7.30 p. m. at Brown
Square at which the report of the
delegation will be given and further
plans will be outlined.
The Unemployed Council is organ
izing workers both employed and UNI
employed in all sections of the city
on block and neighborhood basis
Further demonstrations are being
planned to force the bosses lie the
Eastman Kodak, etc, to stop lay
! offs and provide Jobs and cash re-
lief for the workers they have robbed
