Negro Woman, Man
Attacked AS Press
Whips Up Hysteria
17-Year-Old Mother Is
Insulted, Slugged
On a. Train

NEW YORK.-Two more Negroes,
one a man and the other q woman,
have been attacked in this CITY,
direct results of the mob hysteria be-
ing whipped up by the New York
police against Negroes. In this the
police are getting the active cooper
alton of the press.
J. G. CASTOR, a Negro janitor, was
assaulted in Orchard ST., on the East
Side, after a pedestrian accidentally
tipped over a pushcart. CASTOR was
blamed for the incident and was vi
ciously slugged by a policeman and a
detective, who, it later developed in
court, is son of the pushcart ped
dler.
CASTOR was so badly beaten that
he is in danger of losing the sight
Of his right eye. Fanny Horowitz,
of the International Labor Defense,
defended him in Essex Market
Court, and the Negro was released.
The same day Mrs. Thelma Brown,
of 844 Dawson St, Bronx, a 1T-year-
old factory worker and mother, was
beaten up while riding in the Sixth
Ave. e." She and woman friend
got on the IL" at 14th ST., going up
town. There was place for both
her and her friend to sit down, but
after her friend had taken seat,
the man sitting next to her refused
to move over in order to make place
for Mrs. Brown. When the latter at
tempted to sit down, the man poked
her with his elbow and forced her
up, declaring that he doesn't move
for any niger bastards." Whereupon
Mrs. Brown "smacked him in the
face" she told the Daily Worker.
Girl Is Beaten
The man as well as a number OF
others in the train then began pum-
melting the Negro girl, throwing her
to the floor Of the car several times
Defending herself, she grabbed one
mans hand as it was about to strike
her, and bit the fingers. The conduc-
tor then held her forcibly until the
train reached the SD st. station, and
policeman put her under arrest.
Brought to the 54th st. police sta
ton, Mrs. Brown was tricked il
pleading guilty when she frankly Az
mitted that she bit the mans finger
in self defense.

Friday morning, Fanny Horowitz
who had defended CASTOR, sought tc

guilty. The case was adjourned until

It was apparent to the $50 workers

desire to try the case before election.
Minor and Joseph Tauber, Inter
national Labor Defense attorney who
was defending Rosenberg, demanded
with constant Interruptions by Fol-
well-an immediate hearing. The
Judge granted it. The Judge at one
time threatened to jail Minor under
$1,000 bail if he did not keep quiet
With a dramatic sweep of his hand
and manner implying he would
give them hearing not to the de-
fendents liking, he shouted:

IN DRIVING
MEN TOPITS
Obi ct of Code Will
Be to Keep Miners
Starving

WASHINGTON, Sept. 15.-
With over 100000 coal miners
in Pennsylvania on strike, and
the possibility of the strike be-
coming general throughout
the entire soft coal fields of the
country, coal operators and UMWA
officials are feverishly working on a
code for signature by President Roose-
velt.
The code that will continue star
walton conditions in the coal indus
try is expected to be ready by 10 pm.
tonight.
No indication has been given about
what the code will contain, but the
coal operators seem to be satisfied
with their work. John l.. Lewis,
UNGWA secretary, arrived at the Com
merce Building for a conference
with the operators. Happily putting
cigar, Lewis said to reporters: I'VE
are almost ready"
Roosevelt is very much worried
about the growing coal strike, be-
cause it is exposing his fake promises.
Furthermore, the bosses fear it may
spread to the steel industry where
the workers are resentful of the wage
cuts under the steel code.
Roosevelt in an authorized state
ment said he would forego q yacht
trip until the coal code is passed.
If it is not passed soon, he said he
would write one himself. The oper-
ators and John L. Lewis, however,
are in accord on almost every point.
Only the finishing touches are left,
according to reports from the con-
ference room.
The miners may expect the same
results from the present proposed code
as they experienced from Roosevelt's
promises when the miners were driven
back to work in August. At that
time, Roosevelt promised the right to
elect acknowledgment. But in the
leading mines, the men were refused
this right, with many miners vic
tinized for their strike activity.
Governor Pinchot, who ordered $50
national guards into the strike area.
rescinded his order. Instead he sent
number of state police to terrorize
the miners.
In spite of his promises of "a quick
report" on the shooting of the 16
miners in Fayette County by Prick
l"Co. gunner, no report has been made
here. Roosevelt expects to cover
everything up with some sort of fake
code.

Business Conditions Worse;
Workers Buying Less Food

NEW YORK. The capitalist press
is burying the fact in back pages that
the steel industry, the hope of the
Roosevelt revival program, is tum-
bling downward with sickening
speed.
Steel operations are now at close
to 80 per cent of capacity, compared
to go per cent six weeks ago. The
drop continues.
So few orders are now left on the
steel company books that the winter
will probably see o new record low
of steel production. This means wide
sweeping lay-offs of steel workers, a
movement which has already begun.

ployees, which has already been pre-
pared by the Untermyer Peter
Grimm Committee for Economy,
Tammany Hall launched a tremen-
dous publicity campaign with regard
to action Of the Board Of Estimate
which cut its high salaries by $213,-
900 yesterday.
In response to the request of Sam
uel Untermyer, Mayor OBrien re-
duced his salary to s25 1000 a year
from $4,000. The Board of Alder
men refused to adopt the suggestion
made by Untermyer that they pledge
to reduce their salaries in the 1884
budget.
Reduction Slight
The cuts in the Board Of Aldermen,
are not ar actuality, as the press is
attempting 0 imply, but are only sug-
gestions fol the 1884 budget, and
would amount, at most to $341 900.
The cuts are being played up in
the press as being a $2,225 900 slash.
In reality, $l,6oo,000 Of the total
amount will come from lower salaried
