FOR PROTESTING
IN COURT ROOM

Relief March on
September 10

NEW YORK While an official of
the CITY Home Relief Bureau shouted
Don't send those BullsheVk kids
back to Russia, kill them here" po-
lice Yesterday attacked several hun
dred workers children and their par
ents in the Children's Court on 22nd
ST.. when they demanded to be let
into the court room to b present
at the trial Of two children on charg-
es of "disorderly conduct
The two children who were on trial,
Helen Marinich 10, and Sophie JAG
obs. IA, had been arrested on Mon
day for demanding relief for theme
selves and other children at the Home
Relief Bureau in one Of the many
neighborhood demonstrations being
held to mobilize workers for the
gigantic relief march on Septmeber
10th.
When the police saw that hundreds
Of workers had come to protest the
brutal attack on Mondays demonstra-
ton and to demand the immediate
release of the two children who had
been arrested, they closed the doors
OF the courtroom and refused to per-
nit anyone to enter, including the
LAWYER for the children, the child
rens parents and witnesses for the
children.
Crippled Worker Beaten
The police launched their attack
on the workers when they insisted
on their right of entering the court
room. Policemen drew their revolv-
ers, drove the workers from the en-
trance to the ourtroOm and then
began a vicious attack on the leaders.
One worker with crippled hands was
terribly beaten and when a physician
urged that he be taken to hos
pital Immediately, the cops told him
to mind his own business, that the
worker was Red and therefore
didn't deserve medical attention.
Meanwhile. workers who were pro-
testing inside the courtroom were
threatened by the police and one
worker was beaten in view OF Judge
lew. When the lawyer for the IN
ternational Labor Defense protested
to Levy that worker was being beat
en- in the courtroom, the Judge an
swered that he couldn't do anything
about it.
The workers arrested for demand
ing to enter the courtroom are Helen
lynch. A Nader, John Kelly, Ge-
oree Soda, John Darvay and Louis
Joel.
Children Sent To Jail
The two children we're sentenced
to the House of Detention until
Friday. The police will investigate
their criminal" records until then
and If it is found that they have
participated in previous demonstra-
tions for relief. they will undoubtedly
be railroad to jail.
Eleanor Henderson, and Samuel
Brown, a Negro worker, unemployed
leaders. who we're arrested on Mon
dav for leading a demonstration Tor
ralief at the Home Relief Bureau on
E. 125th st., were ordered held IN
iau without bail until Friday SO tnat
their criminal records too can De
investigated by the police.
The vicious attacks on the neigh
tcrhood demonstrations for relief in
r..anaration for the huge Relief
Frarch to the City Hall on Septen-
her 10th, are serving to strengthen
the determination of the workers to
r-~bilize tens of thousands OF their
follow workers on that day to de-
r7and immediate relief from the
Tammany City government.
