FURRIERs HIT KAUFMAN MANEUvER

demonstrating outside Bryant Hall be
permitted to enter.
The black Fascist onslaught on the
thousands Of fur workers is addi-
tional proof that kaufman and his
gang of sluggers, with the bosses and
police, are determined to keep up the
ugly and bloody racket to exploit, rob
and terrorize the thousands Of fur
workers.
The temper and mass movement
among the fur workers is growing
daily to fight and annihilate the COM
pany union and force the employers
to give back to the workers the con-
ditions achieved through years of
struggle.
The fake agreement that will be
signed between the bosses and the
kaufman gang will be pouring more
oil on fire" and will serve to give
more courage to the workers to de-
stroy the company union.
We indict the Tammany "Day" Of
helping Kaufman to organize the
meeting" by giving Kaufman's rack
eteers wide publicity, calling the
workers to the meeting when they
knew beforehand thc5 Kaufman's
sluggers would butcher and slug the
fur workers, knowing that the only
method to perpetuate and keep up the
company union is by using gangsters
and bosses to beat and terrorize the
fur workers.
The .Tammany DAY is forging
consciously the report of the meeting.
The Day is consciously concealing
the facts of the bloody attack made
upon the fur workers inside and out
side the Hall and is openly lying by
quoting names and speeches Of peo-
ple that never appeared at the meet
ing.
We equally condemn the Lovestone-
ties who helped the gangsters to beat
and butcher the fur workers. Cen
ose'' Lazia Zimmerman and Nelson
were the chief leaders and helped
Kaufman inside the Hall to keep or
der"
We call upon the fur workers tc
close and strengthen their ranks, &c
build and strengthen the United Front
of the Fur Workers, to clean out the
gangsters and annihilate the COM
pany union.

jobs, bread and decent living condi-
tions! On to the struggle for one class

denied that the clamoring Of the

State Forced To Admit Defense
Points.
Knight was forced to admit most
of the points made by the defense at
torneys, but claimed they we're mere
ly legal technicaliites. He attempted
to make a great point of the betrayal
of the boys by Stephen Roddy, N. A.
A. G. p. attorney at the Scottsboro

took no exception TO the procedure
of the Scottsboro court. He also
arg1ed that because Of the flood OF
protest kilograms pouring i'll on the
Supreme Court, that court was sub

argued that the Supreme Court was

in the same way the Scottsboro court

the monarchists as centers Of coun-
