 DEAD FROM GAS
They Died in Bridgeport Both Were Residents
 Here Years Ago

Bridgeport, Jan 26-UP)- Their spirits broken over inability to find employment and their de- pendence upon charity, a mother and daughter ended their lives in a suicide pact at rooming house here. The bodies of Mrs Mary Warner, 61, and daughter, Dor othy, 26, were found lying across bed in their room last night. Gas poured from an open jet. A note told of their despondency and de- termination to die together.
 A few personal belongings had been placed in a satchel with a note attached directing they be given to a neighbor who had be- friended them. A small quantity of food, received from the city welfare department was on a table. Medical Examiner Dr H. R. DeLucia said they had ben dead about 12 hours. Little was known of the two women. They formerly lived at Waterbury and Ansonia and came to Bridgeport several years ago.
 The local police authorities have no information concerning Mrs Warner and her daughter and ac- cording to the municipal welfare department they did not receive any assistance from the city dur ing their stay here.

Rank and File Painters Win
Three Prediction Victories

not to take chances with expert
mental administrations"
I'VE must re-elect Philip Zausner,
if we are to have a strong and eff
fective union in the trade" Zaus-
ner declared.
just what kind of union zaus-
ner wants was made clear in 1882
when zausner, as a boss painter
stated that he could not pay the
union scale and, in fact, did not
pay the union scale on a Brooklyn
job. To elect zausner as secretary
treasurer would be to elect one
whose interests lie with the bosses
and not the men.
zausner further claims that he is
responsible for the provision that
the union wage must be paid on all
buildings built and operated by the
city government"
On this point 1t is interesting to
note that zauSner allowed union
painters to work in the Bellevue
Hospital under the classification of
laborers for 81 a day.
Leaders of Rank and File
The rank and file candidates
Louis Weinstock for secretary-treas-
urer, Frank Wedl and L. j. Stevens
for business agents-have been the
leading fighters in the union against
the anti-labor policies OF the zaus-
ner clique. zausner aims to defeat
this rank and file group by calling
them eXperimenters.
zausner, indeed, has experimental
enough with the union. He has
thrown the painters at the mrecy
Of the bosses. The painters are
learning that it will be no expert
ment to elect rank and file lead
ership. 1t will be long step toward
winning union conditions.

Hague machine for about 20 years,
granted an injunction today against
picketing the Miller furniture shop.
The application for the injunc-
ton, filed by another judge, Frank
H. Eggers, charged that the union
had threatened to bomb the Shop
2 More Arrested
Alfred H. Hirsch, secretary of the
National Committee for the Defense
of Political Prisoners, and William
Schwartz, member of the Furniture
Workers Industrial Union, were ar
rested today in front of the Miller
shop. Schwartz had been picket
ing with a placard similar to those
carried by the convicted workers,
saying Miller Parlor Furniture
Company refuses to hire union la
bor." Hirsch, who had been stand
ing near by, approached when a
policeman arrested Schwartz and
asked the cop:
why are you arresting this
MANI"
Those are Mr.. Miller's orders .
the cop replied. He then arrested
Hirsch, too.
Hirsch and Schwartz are being
held on charge of "disorderly con-
duct" on $500 bail each for trial
Thursday morning.
Industrial Union "IIIegaT
Quoting the N. R. A. for authority,
District Attorney Lewis G. Hansen
characterized the Furniture Work
erS Industrial Union, which has a
membership of 10000, as an "out-
law union and mushroom" or
ganization. While the Judge nodded
his assent, Hansen said:
IF this outlaw union can have
the right to picket my place, then
this ought to be stopped. There is
only one legitimate union in this
country, the American Federation of
Labor"
Several days ago William Betsch,
a member of the Woodcutters As
ISOLATION of the A. F. of L., was
arrested on Journal Square, several
blocks away from the shop, because
he talked to a worker of the Miller
shop.
Judge Rejects Testimony
Judge McGovern ruled out testi-
mony tending to show that strike
was in progress at the Miller shop.
Sustaining the objections of the
prosecutor to questions put to Max
Perlow by Defense Attorney A. j.
Isserman, who tried to show that
Miller and the other employers had
signed contracts with the industrial
union and then broken them by
moving to Jersey City and firing all
union workers, the judge in finding
the workers guilty said that mo
proof of strike was shown" The
workers in Miller's shop we're not
striking, because they were work.

were striking were not employed in

can't force an employer to hire men

Many Prove
Victory Trial
Is a Frane-up
Prosecuted Negro Takes
Witness Stand
Today
BY A. B. NIAGIL



DETROIT, Mich, June 26.-The
frame-up against James Victory,
Negro worker and world war vet
eran, accused of having attacked
and robbed Mrs. Carl Kaye, a south
ern white woman, on May u, tot
tered badly today as witness after
witness, both Negro and white, took
the stand and testified that they
saw Victory at the time the crime
was supposed to have been com
mitted.
Victory is being tried on two
counts: Robbery armed" and "As-
sault with intent to murder" con-
viction on either of which is liable
to the highest penalty permitted in
the state of Michigan, life impris-
onment. Maurice Sugar, noted La
Dor attorney, is defending Victory
for the International Labor Defense,
which. together with the League of
Struggle for Negro Rights, the Com
munist Party and other militant
groups, has organized a mass cam
paign to smash this brazen frame
up and compel the release of Vic
tory. Sugar is being assisted by
Frank Jones, Negro attorney re-
tanned by the Charles Young Post
Of the American Legion, of which
Victory is a member, and Samuel
Keene, attorney for the American
Civil Liberties Union.
Following the sensational revela-
ton made by Sugar yesterday that
an official police document had
been altered over the weekend, the
LID. attorney continued today
with the examination of defense
witnesses. The outstanding witness
was the Negro worker, James Spain,
who testified that he saw Victory
shortly after he quit work on the
evening of May II and gave detailed
information as to what he and Vic
tory did together during the next
three-quarters of an hour, covering
The time between 8:15 and $3.50
pm, when the crime was supposed
20 nave been committed.
The truth of SPANS testimony
was then corroborated by witness
after witness who saw him and Vic
tory together at various points on
the evening in question.
Despite the clear rrame-up char
acter of this case, the experience of
Scottsboro, of the Sacco-V anzetti,
Mooney and other frame-ups shows
that only the broadest and most
determined mass protest can free
Victory. At a meeting of leading
functionsries last night, the Com
munist Party decided to throw all
its forces into the Free Victory
Campaign and also to intensity the
movement for the freedom of Ernst
Thaelmann, leader of the German
Communist Party.

wide mass meeting in Web
ster Hall, 119 East 18th st.
The meeting is being held
by the United Action Confer
ence On Work Relief and Unem-
ployment.
LaGuardia and his cabinet have
increased the hunger and misery Of
both the employed and the jobless
of New York. They have concen-
trated on one thing-to pay the
Wall Street bankers their tremen-
dous interest payments on time. To
do this, they have ordered the lay
off Of 5000 emergency relief work
ers by July /. They have dropped
thousands of families from the
Home Relief rolls, and reduced the
food allowances for those still on
the rolls. They are cutting the
wages of relief workers and city en-
ployes,
LaGuardia has made no attempt
to solve the unemployed and relief
situation. Instead, his administra-
ton has committed a succession of
outrages against those workers who
have dared to demonstrate and de-
mand their right to food and Jobs.
His police have dubbed and jailed
demonstrating workers, and he has
called secret press conferences to
Justify police brutality and to pre-
pare the ground for further attacks.
He has instituted spy system, and
workers who have protested his
reign of terror have been bounded
and threatened.
Many of those who will speak at
the meeting have witnessed or been
victims of the fascist methods Of
the administration. Among these
are Samuel Orner, President of the
Taxi Workers Union; James Gay
nor, Chairman of the United Action
Conference, and Paul Crosbie, who
has been a victim of LaGuardia's
espionage system. Mr.. and Mrs.
James Lechay, Joseph Elwen, D.
jenkins and other workers who
were arrested and beaten at the
Department of Public Welfare on
May 26 will also speak.

NEW YORK.-Rank and file
members of the Painters CA. F.. L.
Union chalked up three new VIC
tories against the Philip zausner
regime Monday night. Local 400
elected an entire rank and file slate;
Local 848 elected two rank and file
candidates and in Local Asa the
zausner crowd was defeated.
Reports from the IA locals of Dis
trict Council show that Zausner's
campaign Of SANDER against Louis
WeinStock and other rank and file
candidates, his raising of the red
scare" has not advanced his posi-
ton in the union. Truth is what
will count in the elections Saturday.
And through the thin veil Of zaus-
ner's lies, painters of New York are
seeing the truth.
Zausner, the ex-boSs who hired
union painters below the scale, who
spent union funds to hire gangsters
to smother the voice of the rank
and file, has been forced to drop
the cry of Reds! Redsl Redsl" For
Louis Weinstock, the rank and file
candidate tor secretary-treasurer
whom zausner was trying to defeat
with such wild shouting, has proven
by his work in the union that he
represents the wishes and will of
the rank and file to end racketeer-
ing and build fighting union that
will assure workers of union condi-
tions.
