BOSSES
FRAME ENGDAHL
Postpone Hearing Till
Monday

NEW YORK-The returned In
dictments by the grand jury of sedi-
ton and unlawful assembly against
J. Louis Engdahl, general secretary
of the International Labor Defense;
Bella Gordon, secretary of the Cana
dian Defense League, and eight other
workers were attacked by the de-
PENDANTS attorney before Judge
Charles A. Wilson in the Court of
Kings bench. The court postponed
the hearings till Monday when the
motions to quash the indictments
will be made.
Six points were cited by the de-
Tense attorney for the Canadian De-
Tense League why the indictments
should be set aside 1t was pointed
out that no effort is being made by
the prosecutor to even state what the
nine indicted militants said that con-
stitutes sedition or even where the
meeting was held at which the I'M
lawful assembly is supposed to have
taken place.
at is evident, said statement is
sued by the Canadian Defense
League, that the lack Of specific
charges in the indictment is part of
the police frame-up that is manu-
featuring evidence to send the ac-
cused to prison for long terms. The
only way to stop this terror of the
ruling class is to mobilize the tens
of thousands OF militant workers and
rally behind these indicted workers
the whole working class. Militant
mass protest and only that will fl
nally set these workers free. There
is no time to lose. The ruling class
moves fast and if we are TO save
these nine indicted workers from
prison we must mobilize our forces
quickly"

All Come to Meeting
Today to Protest

NEW YORK.-The unemployed
cutters of Local of the Amalga-
mated Clothing Workers met again
yesterday noon in Manhattan Lyceum
at the call of their Arrangements
Committee.
The committee they sent to inter
view President Hillman reported.
They said Hillman told them that
their proposal for a 40-hour week to
relieve unemployment could only be
granted if the cutters would take a
ten per cent wage cut Hillman said
the proposal for a 36-hour week to
relieve unemployment could only be
granted if the cutters would accept
a standard of production (which
would mean practically piece work
and speed-up).
But even Hillman had to admit
that the unemployed had right to
meet, talk over their conditions and
make demands on the local officials.
Official Terror.
The Local 4 officials, nevertheless.
it was reported at the meeting, have
started a reign of terror against all
who help organize the unemployed.

He was supporting the demands of
the unemployed at local meetings,
and is charged with melting the un-

Gals" and other ridiculous charges.
He has never been at a meeting of
the unemployed. The meeting pro-
tested the attempt to fame UP and
expel Lesser.
Due to the organized pressure of
the unemployed last week, the Off
Gals of Local paid out $40 a man
TO unemployed cutters this week. But

of them out of work for one or two

for $40 in his hand and say to a

kin, unemployed, was given the job
of paying out the relief, at a salary
of sl2 day, He couldn't stand the
dirty work Orloffsky was making him
do, and threw the cards and the $12
job back in the faces of the CLIQUE.
All this was reported to the unen-
ployed meeting, and aroused the
sItdteSL anger.
The scheme of Orloffsky and his
gang in control of Local is to bride
away some of the jobless, split their
ranks, and starve out the leaders.
Then he can starve the rest.
Come To Meeting.
There will be a meeting of Local
4 today, in Irving Plaza Hall. The
unemployed workers at the meeting
yesterday called on all other cutters
to come to the local meeting and help
wage the fight of the unemployed
and employed alike for the 4O-hour
week, against the ten per cent assess
ment, against the double dues, and
Tor the reinstatement OF Lesser and
