NEW YORK. -Israel Amter, Com

New York, addressed mass meeting
of workers yesterday afternoon at

The bosses believe that they can
smash the fighting spirit of the
workers by injurctions," he said.

lying bourgeois press, moreover, that
President Hoover has signed an anti

bill is complete fake, because it

Strikebreaker Lehman
Running for Governor,
Roosevelt En- d Orses

ALBANY, N. Y, August 5.-Lieu-
tenant Governor Lehman announced
he is candidate for governor of New
York in this election, and immediate
ly afterward, Governor Roosevelt en-
dorsed him. AS Roosevelt is the
democratic nominee for president, it
is improbable that the party leaders
will risk a fight with him over Leh-
mans candidacy.
Lehman, while Smith was governor,
was his appointee to smash the great
garment strike Of 1926, and did smash
it through an arrangement with the
leaders of the International Ladies
Garment Workers. While acting
governor in 1929, Lehman decreed the

and sent in committee, headed by
M. Powers, district secretary OF the
Trade Union Unity League, to de-

The city council refused to see the
delegation, on the ground that it was
then comforting with the Unemployed
Citizens League committee, and would
recognize the League instead of the
Unemployed Council. Police then
attempted to disperse the jobless,
who put up struggle on the stairs
leading to the city council chamber,
and were driven out only after police
reserves had arrived. Powers was
arrested. He is charged with disor-
derby conduct.
Heavy forces of police finally
cleared the City Hall Plaza also.

NEW YORK.-The Hillman gar

All day long police we're modified

Clothing bosses in interviews with
the press yesterday revealed the fact
that the stoppage was not directed
against them, but called in order to

The, second reason for the calling
of the stoppage is to get complete
check-up on the workers in the shops
in order to hijack dues from mem

The left wing group in the Anal

The Red Armies have frightened the

BAR HEARING.
FOR BERKMAN
in U. 5. COURT
Brandeis Decision Now
Aids Deportation
Plot by Doak
FACES DEATH IN POLAND
LID. Opens Fight for
Voluntary Departure

CHATHAM, Mass, Aug. 5-Jus-
tice Louis D. Brandeis, the much
touted liberal" of the United States
States Supreme Court, today refused
to permit the case of Edith Berkman,
militant textile leader, to be brought
before his court, thus throwing her
back into the bloody hands of Sec
rotary of Labor Doak, whose hound
ing of Berkman for the last year has
made her a tubercular invalid. This
decision makes Berkman Immediately
deportable to fascist Poland, where
no militant deportee from America
can remain alive.
Brandeis' action tears aside the
veil of liberalism" which has been
woven around him, exposing him as
an active enemy of the workers.
Berkman is now at the mercies of
Doak and his agent Tillinghast, who
have conducted the persecution since
since she was seized by them for
organizing the starving textile work
ers of Lawrence, Mass.
The International Labor Deferse
calls on all workers, all worker or
CARNATIONS and all sympathizers to
wire immediate protests to Secretary
of Labor William Nuckles Doak, at
Washington, D. c., demanding the
right of voluntary departure for
Edith Berkman. This is matter of
Berkman's life, and of the lives of
thousands of workers against whom
Doak plans to use theprecedent he
has tried to establish in her ease,
that membership in revolutionary
union is sufficient cause for deporta-
ton.

HUNGRY MINERS
DEMAND FLOUR
evil Seize from Red
Cross If Not Fed"

BRIDGEPORT, Ohio, Aug. S.
Driven to desperation by the Red
Cross policy of starving them back
to work, Amsterdam mine strikers are
meeting today to plan mass action.
Their committee has already notified
the local and county Red Cross or
ganization that if they are not fed
they will seize supplies of flour in
the hands of the Red Cross.
Fifty single miners of the Amster-
dam United Front strike committee
marched to the local Red Cross
headquarters. They demanded that
discrimination against the nlilitants
in the strike be ended. They de-
manded an increased allowance for
the married men and flour for the
single men, who now receive nothing
Donated Heavily
The local Red Cross officials de-
clared they could do nothing. The
miners pointed out that when they
were working, huge sums were
checked off their pay by company
officials for the Red Cross. Now
when they are on strike against
starvation, and are actually starving,
the Red Cross refuses to feed them!
The local Red Cross officials re-
ferred the committee to the county
headquarters of the Red Cross in
Steubenville.
The miners elected a committee of
six which saw the Red Cross in
Steubenville, and the officials there
referred the miners back to Anlster-
dam.
The committee is reporting to mass
meetings at Amsterdam today.
Starvation is general throughout
the east Ohio strike area. The
Workers International Relief, Room
4, Fretter Bldg, Bridgeport, Ohio, is
calling for donations of food and
money to feed 10000 strikers.
