JOB SHARK HAS
FOUR ARRESTED

When the owner of racketeering
employment agency pulls out gun
and opens fire on unemployed work
ers, whom do yon think the cops ar
rest? One guess is sufficient: the
workers of course!
This is what happened Tuesday
at Muller's Employment Agency, 1909
Sixth Ave. This agency had swind-
led a worker out of some money,
making him pay for job that did
not exist The Madison Square IN
employment Council learned of the
case and Tuesday committee went
to the agency and demanded the
money back. For answer, Muller,
the owner, pulled out gun and
started to fire. One bullet came
within four or five inches of hitting
an unemployed worker by the name
of Schwab. Cops Immediately ap-
peared on the scene and arrested
Perez and Gortez, two of the unem-
ployed committee. They were
charged with disorderly conduct and
tried Tuesday night in night court,
314 w. 54th St. the murderous MI.
Muller appearing as the complain
ant. The tammany court. fearing
the anger of the unemployed work
ers. barred all members or the IN
employed Council from the court
room.
Perez and Cortez were defended by
Jacques Buitenkant, representing the
New York District of the Interna-
tional Labor Defense. Despite the
evidence produced that Muller had
deliberately opened fire on the work
ers, the two workers we're found
guilty. They will be sentenced today
Thursday.
But Muller was still not satisfied.
When the trial was over, he went
outside, pointed out two more I'M
employed workers and had the cops
arrest them. The New York I. L. D.
is now seeking TO have them re-
leased.

S t a t e Employment
Agency Give Again
Fake Passes

BROOKLYN, N. Y.-Some 200
workers waited from $50 a. m. until
10 a. m. for a chance to get q job
at the Gem Razor Co., yesterday.
Girls and boys, men and women
were all too weary to grin.
An old fossil of a Waterman kept
to push the workers back outside of
the gates.
In many instances the Waterman
would say, IF you amt gonna listen
to what I tell you, you amt gonna
get an interview for a job"
The state Employment Agency"
at Jay and johnson Ave-, aware of
the fact that twelve workers were
fired a day before because they re-
fused to accept piece work and wage
cut, had Immediately sent another
batch of workers, thus increasing the
number on the standing line at the
factory gates.
The workers were told 10 wait,
however, from a. m. when the en-
ployment office was to open; the
Waterman announced it would open
later" and later"
When 10 o'clock arrived the po-
lice were called to chase the work
ers away from the gates.
Those workers who were faxed by
the state Employment Agency"
we're also chased away by the cops.
The appearance of the cops did
not quite please the workers.
Shouts of want to eat" "If you
can't give us job, give us eat" were
heard from almost all lips of work
ers present there.
The Boro Hall Unemployed Branch
held meeting at the State En-
pigment Agency and exposed the
fake way they give passes to work
ers, referring to the passes given to
the workers who we're sent to the
Gem.
IliC DUN N11dll DTdIlCii VI tilt OIl-
employed Council pledged to carry
on work among the unemployed in
the territory in solidarity with the
Gem workers for organization of
these workers.
While the meeting was going on
at the Agency cop from 19Oth pre-
cinct, Badge No. 1858, made an at
tempt to disrupt the meeting, by
trying to hold a meeting for him
self.
The workers gave him a. number
of arguments that put the cop out
side of the picture as speaker.
Then, in order to evade the anger
of the workers, he jumped on q car
and departed.
All the workers showed that they
will participate in the City Hall dem
onstration for immediate relief on
Tuesday at 1890 p. m.
