The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1933-10-03

I therefore want to protest and sew
erely criticize one Of the main short
comings. I refer to the shameful mis-
handling and neglect of the Leon
Blum case, and worse yet, the throw
ing aside of one great opportunity
to combat the most vicious and cru
elest of all capitalistic weapons, the
New York State Board of Parole.
Leon Blum, worker and organizer
of the Laundry Workers Industrial
Union, was arrested during the
course of a strike on a framed up
charge of parole violation. The
"heineous" crime he committed was
his efforts to organize the most ex-
plotted group of white and Negro
workers in the city of New York. For
that crime" he was never tried by
a Judge or jury, but simply con-
demned and sentenced to IA months
in the states prison and hurnedly
railroaded into cell by this same
body of legal racketeers, the most
rotten, autocratic triumvirate of any
of the Tammany appointees.
Laws Violated
Surely such procedure is an OBJ
vious violation of the State and Fed
eral constitution, the sections that
assume to guarantee to all the right
of trial by a Judge and jury OF our
peers, for any crime whatsoever.
Now, my grievance and grounds
for criticism is the fact that Leon
Blum is away six months, and as yet
not one attempt has been made to
bring him before judge on writ
Of habeas corpus, (yet gangsters such
as Owney Madden are taken before
judges on writs within "a hours after
arrest).
And as to exposing the Parole
Board, why is the Daily" out of the
picture altogether? There are in
stances galore where workers are suf-
fering at the hands Of this Board.
Why can't these cases be taken to-
gether aId one concerted drive be
made with the Blum case as a pivot,
and honestly expose these poisonous
tools Of the bourgeoisie. And it
should be done now, while the N. Y
City school of crime is on the Daily
Workers frying pan

Taxi Union to Fight
Taking 5 Cent Tax
Out Workers Pay
Strike Called By Men
At Shindlers' Garage

NEW YORK. - The first strike
against the scent tax on taxi fares,
which is, in effect, another wage cut
for the taximen, was declared at
Shindler's garage on Knickerbocker
Ave. The tax, which went int effect
on Sunday at II am, is supposed to
be paid by the passengers, but is to
be taken out of the drivers earnings.
When the men at S-'indler's refused
to take cars out if they were expected
to pay the tax, they were threatened
with blacklisting by the boss. They
are on strike under the guidance of
the Taxi Workers Union.
The taxi drivers, embittered against
the tax, are expected to come out on
strike in many parts of the city, it
was reported by the Taxi Workers
Union. Phil O'Brien of the United
Auto Leagues, was especially active in
discouraging the militant sentiment
of the men by promising that the tax
would not go into effect and that he
would use his personal political in
fluence against it. Proposals of united
action by the Taxi Workers Union
against the tax was met by threats
from O'Brien.
The Taxi Workers Union declares
that the Scent tax will mean great
er misery for the $4,000 men in the
industry and calls upon them to or
ganize committees of action against
it in every garage. The unions head
quarters is at 81 E. 18th st.

Gallup Mine Grants
All N.M.U. Demands

GALLUP, N. Mex, Oct. miners
of the National Miners Union re-
turned to work at the Southwestern
mines last week, with all demands
granted.
"This victory, reads a statement
by the union, provides us with a
fighting wedge as weapon
against the operators of the other
mines.
The NMU also issued a warn
ing to all miners not to be misled
by the fake gesture Of the United
Mine Workers, reactionary A. F.
of L. union, in protesting the N.
R. A. code. "This gesture was
made only because of the pressure
made by the rank and file which
forced the bureaucratic. leaders to
act"
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1933-10-03

The excuse for the raid offered by
police was that they had been in
structed to find out whether or not
the restaurant had necessary per-
nit from the Board of Health.
Posters advertising the Daily
Worker were torn from the walls, and
Negro workers who we're among the
20 odd patrons were abused with par
ticular maliciousness. One Negro
seaman who protested against the
provocative conduct Of the raiders
was told by plain-clothes police
man, You wouldn't be so quick
about opening your trap down south,
where you belong" Before the raid
ers departed, making no arrests, the
manager of the restaurant, which
sells food atNlow cost to jobless sea-
men, was told by a detective:
This place is Just a hangout for
Reds and troublemakers. If you don't
close it, we will"
The entire procedure was viewed
with evident satisfaction by Presi-
dent Ryan Of the Longshoremens
Union, who is also secretary of the
SClASAal AAcNCo c1A4Q 4[oOOI SOulIIlls
While he took no active part in the
questioning Of the workers, which
was apparently calculated to discour-
age them from frequenting the place,
his personal bodyguards aided police
in herding them into the back of the
room.
Later yesterday police and I. L. A.
strong-arm men patrolled the docks
to stop any action of longshoremen
protesting against the extension of
the wage agreement now in force
pending the adoption of the N.R.A.
marine code. The agreement was to
expire yesterday. The Ryan hench-
men pointed out members of the
Marine Workers Industrial Union to
the police, Alien Squad and immigra-
ton Inspectors.
Ryan's action in leading the raid
on the International Seamen's Club
and the subsequent strong arm pat
rolls on the waterfront we're dubbed
yesterday by officials Of the Marine
Workers Industrial Union as at
tempts to forestall any rank and file
protest against the adoption of the
oppressive N.R.A. marine code on
which hearings are now being held.

Brooklyn, n. Y.
Comrade Editor:
1t Is six months since Comrade
Leon Blum was arrested during the
course of strike in the Pretty Laun-
dry, and so far not one attempt was
made to even take writ Of habeas
corpus 20 that he could prove his in
nocence In court. He was rail-
roaded by the Parole Board, the most
vicious working class enemy, on no
charge at all, only that he was in
this strike (they call this lapsing in
to bad company.
The Party as well as others are
guilty in allowing strike activity, and
therefore the Laundry Workers In
dustrial Union, to be made illegal,
punishable with arrest, without even
making an effort to force trial.
I hold the international Labor De-
Tense, the Communist Party and the
Daily Worker" and the individuals
at the head Of them, responsible for
the long imprisonment of Comrade
Leon Blum, because Of the outright
criminal neglect.
I sincerely believe and SO do some
attorneys, that there was every OPP
portunity to have Blum released pro-
viding there was action. Not only
was the legal end neglected, but not
one in any Of these organizations
thought it worth while to send a
greeting Of encouragement, not a
cent for cigarettes, not any sort Of
literature. 1t was all left to me to
take care Of.
Every time I complained and in
sisted on aid and action was &C
cused Of being personal How could
I help being SO, even If 1 were, when,
if asked for the Daily Worker or
Freiheit to be sent, was promised
that it would be done but after many
such promises had to do SO myself.
I had to subscribe out Of my own
money for the New Masses, the Lib

This Boards whims are so open
and vicious that I personally know
Of a number of inmates who wrote
writs themselves and without legal
or organizational aid of any kind
fought them in the courts and won
their discharge from Jail, although
the courts working hand in glove with
the Parole Board would not set any
legal precedents, but advised the
board to release them, which shows
the flimsiness and weakness Of their
charges and therefore of their legal
existence.
Only last year a capitalist Judge
A. I. Nova, Of Brooklyn, N. Y. caused
number Of bills to be introduced In
the Legislature for the immediate
abolition of this board, and he cited
numerous precedents as to their IL
legality and their continuous viola
tons of the constitution.
The Blum case should be given es-
pecial attention, because the Board
has made his union activities spe-
cial crime, punishable only by them.
Just how long will the Party stand
for such abuse from politically APP
pointed lackeys? There is surely no
limit as to how far they will go If
there isn't any honest and conscien-
tious efforts of protests and mass
actions made Immediately. AS Blum's
case stands today, he is in their
hands for nine years Of servitude if
they please to go the whole route
in being vicious.
I believe there are many comrades
in the Party and the Laundry Work.
ers Industrial Union who will agree
with me that Blum is too valuable
to the cause to be left at the mercy
of this board. The International
Labor Defense and the Party can
and should get hold of the above
citations and prepare expeditions
legal activities and with the proper
mass action, should win the release
Of Leon Blum, which will set a pre-
cedent for the oppressed worker for
the future.
Comradely yours,
II S.
