Red Candidate
Flags Strong's
Stand onLabor
Raymond S avs Justice
Ma de Brooklyn an
Injunction Reno

Before a crowd of 500 at the
Young Israel Synagogue Of Bor-
ough Park, Brooklyn, Tuesday
night, Harry Raymond, staff writer
of the Daily Worker and Commu-
mist candidate for Judge of the SUI
preme Court in the First Judicial
District, revealed the basic aims Of
the capitalist parties and told just
how he would serve the interests
Of the workers if elected.
Raymond took part in a political
symposium in which Injunction
Judge" Selah B. Strong was one of
the speakers, and conferred his main
fire against the Republican, citing
from various of his court decisions
to show Strong'S virulent anti
labor bias. Strong, who was among
the first to speak, was followed by
other speakers representing the Re-
publican, Democratic, Fusion, So
cialist and Communist parties.
Stung by continuous exposure of
his vicious anti-labor activities,
Judge Strong's speech was Of de-
fensive kind. MY opponents have
attacked me-" Strong declared,
claiming that I am an enemy Of
organized labor. But my record in
court shows. that I am a friend Of
labor, and that I have ruled, not
against labor unions, but against
certain union delegates"
Strong's Record Exposed
Raymond in his speech made a
slashing attack upon Judge Strong
and reused large section of the
audience to vigorous applause by
the manner in which he unmasked
the Republican politician, who has
made Brooklyn notorious as an
Injunction Reno"
Quoting from report made by
the International Juridical Associa-
ton, Raymond cited Judge Strong's
decision in the case of Reed Co. VS..
Whiteman, in which the anti-labor
Judge wrote that:
THE defendants allege in their
answer that they are peacefully
picketing' Why picket at all. Why
not leave plaintiff alone as it de-
sires and thereby permit the
pickets to employ themselves at
some useful and commendable
occupation where they may do a
real mans work and earn a la
borer's honest wage?"
Raymond showed how Judge
Strong'S open attack upon the
rights of workers to strike and
picket is the first step toward fas-
cism. Describing his impressions of
Nazi Germany through which he
passed last year, the Communist
candidate pointed out that the de-
struction of labor organizations and
the murder and falling of militant
working class leaders go hand in
hand with attacks upon Jews.
Raymond AppIauded
After showing how the capitalist
crisis has thrown millions into the
streets and ruined hundreds of
thousands Of small business men
and professionals, Raymond showed
how the Communist Party program
provided the only concrete way out
Of the crisis.
II am not a candidate for Judi
cial office as an individual" Ray
inond said. "I stand on the plat
form Of the Communist Party" He
was applauded when, in concluding
his speech, he declared, Should a
lawyer for a business corporation
apply to me, as judge, for an in
junction against picketing I would
hold the attorney in contempt of
court"
Following the symposium many in
the audience who said that they had
previously but a vague knowledge
Of Communist aims came forward
to congratulate Raymond.

SO.-Dazed, wan and worn after
a 12-hour battle with fire, the
residents of Nome, their famous
gold rush city, in smoking ashes,
today were threatened with
hunger and privation.
The 100000 blaze, which took
the lives of two Eskimos and Sc
riously burned a number of white
persons, destroyed practically all
food supplies.
$50 Homeless in Cold
Hungry citizens, with no grocery
stores or meat markets available,
turned to a community kitchen
where Federal officials and other
relief agencies were providing
scanty meals.
Few of the people of Nome
had slept. The fire destroyed the
business section and practically
all OF the residential area despite
the desperate use of dynamite,
and left $50 of the city's $500
residents homeless to the Wintry
blasts of freezing weather.
Officers were busy preventing
looting and pilfering by halfbreed
Eskimos who, drunk and wild,
were roaming the streets in shout
ing gangs. Details of citizens
sworn in as special officers
rounded up the worst offenders
and placed them under guard in
improvised jails.

TAKE DOWN
SINCLAIR
Famous Epic Plan Undergoes
Sharp Changes; RadiCaIism
of Candidate Diluted
BY FRANKLIN G. sARTWELL

Lured by the necessity OF get
ting votes in the coming elec
ton, Upton Sinclair, the friend
of the New Deal who calls the
Postmaster General "Jim," is
radically revising the famous
EPIC" plan which won him
the Democratic gubernatorial
nomination in California, accord
ing to word reaching here.
Mr.. Sinclair's plan as revised
eliminates many of the phases
which had previously driven old
line Democrats away from his
banner.
He's Backing Down
AS altered by the candidate,
the EPIC plan is ceasing to be a
bug-a-boo. 1t will be altered
further at the State convention
later this month, and by that
time the election rolls around it
will probably be only a mild in.
