PUT THE PARTY ON THE BALLOT
IN EVERY WORKERS DISTRICT

The Communist Party District
No. 2, calls upon all workers to mob
ilize to complete the signature drive
this week in all sections OF the City.
This is the final appeal to all work.
ers and working class organizations
to prevent defeat in certain districts
that are still very doubtful. Imme-
date response in all sections from
workers who have not yet done their
share for the collection Of signatures
and the mobilization of workers in
all organizations for this emergency
call will undoubtedly enable the
Party to get on the ballot in all Sec
tons Of the City. All mass meet
ings. shop gate meetings, street rail-
lies and meetings of organizations
should place this appeal as first
point on the agenda in order to put
every doubtful section on the mop.
Every day brings new developments
In every section Of the City, which
should be brought to the attention
OF the working class for struggle ia
connection with the Communist Par
,ty Election Campaign Platform. A
striking example occurred yesterday
when one worker was buried and 6
almost crushed to death when the
rear wall Of 5 story tenement at
S27 East 18th st. collapsed, burrying
the workers beneath it. This is the

NEW YORK-John Petrofski, a
building trades worker, is at the point
of death and six other workers lie
seriously injured in the Bellevue Hos
pital as a result of premeditated,
criminal negligence on the part Of
the contractors who were recon-
structing five story tenement house
at 327 E. 18th st.
The seven workers had gathered on
the first floor ready to mount the
scaffold to commence plastering
when the west wall of the building
gave way burying the men under
tons Of brick and debris. Petrofsky
was buried out Of sight for over 20
minutes and when rescued by his
fellow workers and firemen the doctor
gave little hope for his recovery.
The crash could have been avoided
had the contractors used new beams
which are required by law for such
reconstruction work. The bosses,
however, greedy for profits and cal
lous about the safety of the workers,

Tammany Chiefs Partners of
RaCketeerS in Movie Union
100000 Looted From Terrorized Workers By
Gang Run By $4,000 A Year President

those who Joined the union before
1926, the permit men are the late
corners, /. g. who Joined after 1926.
There is a president; Sam Kaplan,
assistants: Max sternberg and Morris
Rokter, business agent Jack Wolheim,
secretary-Frank Day; finance secre-
tary-Dave Engel and long list of
all kinds of assistants to the mem
toned authorities, typists, secre-
taries, body guards, executives Of all
kinds, inspectors, stewards, etc.
Sam Kaplan is getting $4,000 a
year and Expenses" Sam Kaplan
is the owner of the Sam Kaplan Man
ufacturing Supply Co., a non-union
shop and listed as worth $250,0oO.
"Once a week, on Friday, Kaplan
comes in supported by his two gun
men bodyguards and spends few
hours in his chambers taking up
claims of one official mo, no tplain
membersD against the other: they
are always grumbling against each
other. After the chief settles the
difference between his henchmen he
departs with the thugs until next
Friday. Each thug gets salary Of
SIPS week and there are two shifts
so guarding Kaplan who is really not
fit for dog meat, costs the local $500
a week.
Frank Day, Dave Engel, Jack
Wolheim and the rest receive from
$500 to $4,000 a year (oficially).
When Simon Teri was taken off his
throne as business agent and Jack
Wolheim was put in his place the
noble 81 did not want to go back
to work as an operator but insisted
on fat Job in the local and he was
made a secretary" to the chief.
Salary? $500 year. Function2
Nothing.
Max Sturnberg is an old man Of
about IS years. Max sturnberg owns
a mansion that cost $4,000. What
is Max Sturnberg doing in the local?
Keeping the records Of the applica-
tions-a Job which girl for $25 a
week would do with much more ef-
ficiency. sturnberg is getting as
much as a governor Of State.
Dave Engel is finance minister Of
the local Dave has big staff Of
bookkeepers and secretaries, He is
in charge of the money, the sweet
est job. Dave Engel is no fool at |
all, boys-he receives money, gives
out receipts and never takes the
trouble of entering the receipts in
the proper place. Dave Engel Is also |
getting salary.
This is how this racket is organ
ized-iust like gangster picture In
the movies. Ksplan the chief and |
the rest his subordinates.

NEW YORk.-Dtrect connection
between the chiefs of the Tammany
administration of New York CITY
and Governor Roosevelt with the
100000 racketeers who run the Mo-
ton Picture Operators Union, Local
306 here seems pretty openly estab-
lished by criminal charges which
another clique hooked up with
Charles Title and the Republican
Party machine, has brought against
Sam Kaplan, president of the union
This opposition clique, mortified
by the fact that all this good graft
is going to its enemies, and worried
because in the last gubernatorial
campaign the Kaplan gang donated
half a dozen portable moving picture
trucks showing Walker, Roosevelt and
other Tammany politicians in action,
has brought considerable evidence of
grand larceny Of union funds, ex-
tortion and violence against union
members by the Kaplan clique. But
it isn't getting them anywhere.
With an attorney named Birn-
baum, one Of Tutles friends, they Of
fered proofs that Kaplan gets $780,
900 a year in salary and enforced
gifts" from a membership of $500,
OF whom 700 are not allowed vote
in union meetings, and those who can
vote will get their heads knocked off
by Kaplan's hired gunner if they
vote against him. They showed that
courts have held that the Kaplan
gang made use Of 100000 which they
can not account for.
But District Attorney Grain not
only refused to allow most of this
evidence to be recorded in his Of
flee, but refused absolutely to take
the case to the grand jury for an
indictment. The opposition has ap-
pealed to Governor Roosevelt, but as
he publicly thanked Kaplan for the
movie picture trucks in the last cam
paign, and as his lieutenant governor
Lehman is an honorary member OF
the union-and of the Kaplan
clique, they might as well give up
hopes.
The lawyer Of the Kaplan gang
in this case is the same Tammany
leader in Brooklyn, John H. McCooey,
who raised some stir recently by APP
pointing his son judge in a crook
ed deal with all parties concerned.
1t is said that McCooey gets 100000
of the money taken out Of the
pockets of the union members Tor
doing Kaplan's legal work.
Sheriff Thomas Farley is another
honorary member of the union, and
known to be one Of Kaplan's closest
friends. -------------
1-mmany Fire Commissioner John
j. Dornan is another honorary mem
Ter Of the union-and of the Kaplan
gang.
Selling A Strike
Hundreds of movie operators are
On strike. Kaplan's way of conduct
ing a strike will surely lose it, for he
permits no militant picketing and no
control of the strike by the strikers.
The strikers only hope is to discard
both cliques of grafters, elect their
cwn committees, and win, and vote
Communist this year against the
Tammany grafters.
A member of the union has the
following to say about how business
is conducted at union headquarters:

members: 100 permit men and the
