Labor Defense Obtains
Reduction of Bail Tn
Case of Sam Weinstein

NEW YORK. - Having succeeded
in having the bail for Samuel Wein-
stein, held in the Bronx county jail
on frame-up manslaughter charge,
reduced from $4,000 to $4,000, the
International Labor Defense an
nounced yesterday that it will press
for further reduction in the bond
in order to bring about the workers
release.
Weinstein, leader of the Muskin
furniture strike in Brooklyn, was ar
rested and charged with the murder
of the wife Of a scab, Weissglass, in
the Bronx. The framed-up worker
at the time was in Brooklyn, miles
away from the scene.

part in the frame-up of Weinstein,
has bad record among the workers,
causing dissention among them and
fighting militant. united front actions
against the bosses. Moreover, they
charge that Weissglass who was with
his wife at the time of the alleged
attack, had frequently mistreated her.
On several occasions, the workers de-
clare, she was forced to leave him.

Many Endangered
In Subway Fire
Company Played With
Passengers Lives

NEW YORK. - The lust of the In
terborough Rapid Transit Company
for nickels endangered the lives of
thousands and resulted in injuries to
nearly score yesterday when short
circuit fire broke out in the feeder
cable manholes at Walker and Lafay-
cite Street, downtown Manhattan.
Although the trouble became
known to the I.R.T., at 1926 a. M,
the company permitted trains to pro-
coed south from 14th st. into the
danger zone for hours thereafter
Even before investigations" we're
under way, officials of the 1. R. T.
were quick to excuse themselves from
all responsibility by announcing that
a careless workman's pick" had
caused the short circuit which re-
suited in the fire.
The choking smoke in the trains
drove hundreds of passengers to
emergency exits through black-gas-
filed tunnels, as gasping for air -
they struggled to safety.
Women screamed and children
wept as the trains, filled with the
deadly fumes, crawled at snails-
pace to the stations, Scores bitterly
denounced the I.R.T for its criminal
action in permitting the trains to
proceed into the danger zone.
Partial service on the line was re-
sumed only after three and one half
hours.
The entire metropolitan press yes
terday was filled with official press
handouts of the I. R. t. seeking
to evade responsibility for the fire
and the suffering which resulted.

In speech over the radio on Mon
day night, U. S. Secretary of State
Stimson attacked the present Japa-
nese challenge against American
dollar control of China as manifested
especially in Japan's military prep
arations to invade and seize North
China.
Stimson re-stated the American
policy of the so-called open Door"
in China. He threatened Japan with
re-opening of the whole question
of the Japanese seizure of Manchu-
ria, which the Wall Street govern
ment, together with the League of
Nations, formerly supported on the
basis that the Japanese would use
Manchuria as jumping-off board
for armed intervention against the
Soviet Union. He referred to the
Kellogg peace pact" which the Jap
anese have treated with the utmost
contempt as more than a mere ges-
tllre."
Covers Up War.
He spoke glibly of the "renuncia-
ton of war while covering up the
fact that the Wall Street Govern
ment is today engaged in war on the
people of Nicaragua, Haiti and other
Latin American countries, as we'll as
against its unemployed workers and
war veterans, while at the same time
rushing gigantic preparations for a
new world slaughter, directed mainly
against the Soviet Union but aimed
also at a rediyision of the world.
"a nation which sought to mask
imperialistic policy under the guise
of protection of it's own nationals
would soon be rnnasked"
Conceals Real Motive
In his efforts to conceal from the
American masses the real motive of
Wall Streets opposition to the jap
anese plans to seize ..orth China,
Stimson hypocritically presented the
Wall Street Government as defend
ing China's territorial integrity and
leading" the struggle for peace, He
referred to his notification to Japan
on January 7 that the United States
would not recognize the Japanese
seizure of Manchuria, but maintain
ed discreet silence on the previous
support given by the Wall Street gov
eminent to the japanese occupation
of Manchuria. His speech is aimed
to force the japanese back to the
original tacit understanding for an
immediate attack on the Soviet Union
and away from their challenge to
American loot in North China.

Hoover drove us out of Washington
with the army, using bayonets,
sabres, gas bombs and fire. Hoo
ver's police shot down our comrades,
Huska and Carlson. Hoover thought
by these methods to smash the de-

half of whom are literally starving

gave three billion dollars additional
