Whalen Fare Tax Plan
Hit by C. P. Nominee
for Governor


NEW YORK. Israel Amter,
Communist candidate for governor,
yesterday issued statement in
which he condemned both Mayor
La Guardia's taxation proposals for
unemployment relief and the pro-
posals of his alleged opponents who
are led by ex-Police Commissioner
Grover Whalen."
Amter's statement follows:

which were adopted by the Board

Karl LOckner Injured
DAILY Worker Midwest Bureau)


CHICAGO, Aug. 28.-Karl Lock
ner, Communist candidate for Con-
greSsman-at-Large in Illinois, was
slugged, kidnapped, and horribly
mutilated by thugs Friday in
Staunton, III. Workers who at
tempted to rescue him were beaten
down.
Lockner was speaking at an cleo
ton campaign meeting in the town
park when several thugs rushed for
ward and began to beat him. At
least three workers were knocked
out in their attempts to protect
Lockner.
Lockner was then walked out to
hard road where a car picked
him and the thugs up and drove
away. After driving some distance,
the candidate, badly beaten and
with half his nose cut off, was
thrown out and told to keep going.
He was finally found by his
friends and placed in workers
home to recover from his injuries.
This attack is only one of many
which have been directed against
this heroic leader of Chicago's I'M
employed.

Fur Union
Calls Strike
In lO8 Shops

NEW YORK.-One hundred and
eight fur trimming shops, including
the Bessen Brothers, of which
Henry Rosen, president of the New
York Fur Trimming Manufacturers
Association, is a part owner, went
out on strike yesterday under the
leadership of the Fur Workers In
dustrial Union, almost completely
paralyzing the industry. The strike
was an answer of the workers,
members of the Industrial Union, to
the Manufacturers Associations re-
fusal to negotiate an agreement
with their union. Mr.. Rosen signed
an agreement with the A. F. of L.
union, which does not represent the
workers.
At a meeting of striking shop
chairmen yesterday afternoon at
the office of the union, 131 w. 18th
ST., Ben Gold, general secretary
treasurer Of the union, declared
that in accordance with the decision
Va bA4C 1ull u dl0 CACCuUlHC
board and the national committee
of the union, the strike will be
spread from the trimming section
to every other part of the fur in
dustry in New York.
"These strikes are result of the
indifference of the employers and
the N. R. A. administration to the
demands that the workers presented
at the hearing in Washington on
Aug. "a before Deputy Admins
traitor Colonel Berry," said Gold.
Late yesterday afternoon a meet
ing of union representatives and
representatives of the Manufactur-
ers' Association was held in the
offices of the Regional Labor
Board, 45 Broadway.

ASTORIA, Ore, Aug. Is
The Historian Budget, local
newspaper, in cooperation
with Clatsop County relief
authorities and the District
Attorneys office, has started
a campaign of terror against
all workers who have signed the
nominating petitions Of the Com
munist Party
The newspaper has published a
full list Of the workers who signed
the petition and the same issue car
ries inflammatory editorial attacks
against all thos whose names are
published.
The action of the newspaper
proved to be an advance barrage
for the organization of a local
Citizens Committee" which is
campaigning to have all signers of
the petition dismissed from their
Jobs unless they withdraw their sig
natures.
Signers Denied Relief
The Clatsop County relief au-
thorities are denying relief to all
whose names were published by the
Historian Budget. The District At
torney's office here is operating a
clearing house where workers who
have signed the petitions are COM
PEELED TO make affidavits declaring
that they are not Communists nor
Communist synpathizers. A work
er's failure to make such an affi-
davit is being punished by denial
of his job or relief.
The Historian Budget followed its
initial Fascist attack by an offer to
publish statements or retraction
from all workers who wish to with
draw their nominating signatures.
Protests Are Organized
The attacks of the Budget ara
worded to give the impression that
all the signatories are Communist
Party members. 1t ignores COM
pletely the fact that signing a NOM
mating petition merely indicates the
willingness of the signer to permit
certain candidates to have a place
on the ballot.
The Astoria section of the Com
munist Party is organizing
struggle to end this intimidation. 1t
has called on workers to answer
these attempts at Fascist "co-
ordination" by mass demonstrations
at the relief offices and at the Of
fices of the County Prosecutor.
Workers committees are being or
ganized to demand reinstatement of
all workers fired for signing the
/ petitions The Communist Party
here has also called on workers and
workers organizations throughout
the nation to send messages of pro-
test to Judge Boyington, Clatsop
County Relief Committee, Astoria,
Ore. and to District Attorney Willis

this burdened world of one more enemy
of society.
Imagine being turned loose on a
$22 1000 theft case with no more infor-
nation available than this: That big
truck full of rubber goods, which was
being driven from Akron, Ohio, to De-
troit, Mich, had been held up near
Detroit, the truck, trailer and goods
being stolen. The two drivers had been
held prisoner during the proceedings
in a green Studebaker four passenger
coupe which then was driven around
in circles till early morning, when the
captiveS were released The truck driv-
erS had noted the exact mileage reg
istered on the coupe's speedometer also
the fact that the car had disk wheels,
carried an extra wheel and tire at the
back and that all five tires were of
certain make They had observed that
the cars right-hand pocket was ripped
5 or inches. During the time the men
were held captives one of them chewed
a cigar and sprinkled the right rear
window with tobacco juice.
\A/ITH this Scant information, agents
OF the division flung themselves
into the hunt for the green coupe. 1t
proved elusive. But the stolen truck
and trailer were located, with most of
the rubber goods missing, parked along
side the railroad tracks in a section of
Detroit near where three notorious gangs
were located: The sugar house gang,
the Lamar gang and the Oakland ave-
nue. gang.
Convinced that one Of these gangs
was responsible, the agents commenced
to haunt the locality, dressed for the
part. They kept eyes and ears open,
in a systematic search for the green
coupe One was finally located. 1t
tailed perfectly with the description
given The mileage was virtually as
stated; the pocket was torn. But, most
important of all, the right rear VIM
dow of the car was stained from in
side with tobacco juice. Both truck
drivers identified the car at once.
1t proved to belong to a member of
the sugar house gang, one Louis Fleish
(alias Louis Fleisher, alias Louis FlaiSh),
who then was out on bond charged
with a murder. Fleish was quickly
identified by the truck drivers. He was
brought to trial, pleaded guilty was
fined heavily and sentenced to 10 years
at Leavenworth.
Always, behind the special agent, is
the marvellous interlocking system of
which he is a part. One agent sell
dom solves an involved case alone.
Perhaps the crime was committed in
Dallas, Tex, and the agent Of that
section is at work on it. But as leads
appear in other cities the agents repre-
senting those territories Immediately
swing into action. Each case is the
business of the entire division.
Every civilized land on earth CO.
operates actively with the division of
investigation-as do more than 1900
police agencies at home. These foreign
governments, these American police
groups make constant use of its advice,
its fingerprint collection, it's crime sta
tistics, it's aboratory-where the ultra
violet ray process has been known to
bring out bloodstains on a coat and
cap which had been washed so thor
oughly that no stains whatever were
visible to the naked eyes.
Then, too, crimes upon the high seas
when committed aboard American
veSsels-are the immediate business of

YORK was engaged IN tre criminal prac-
tice of preparing bail bonds, fictitious
names and dates being filled in, and
having them approved by judges. After
ward the names and dates would be
erased and actual ones written in. A
special agent obtained some of these
and had them treated chemically. The
process made fully visible the original
names and dates; and the perpetrators
of the fraud were sent to prison.
Not only are handwritten letters
studied, but typewriter ones also are
scrutinized minutely. Even watermarks
are carefully photographed. A dramatic
instance of the value of this was the
solving recently of the John Isola case
in New York City-a case as mysterious
and battling, for a time, as any on
record.
Last August an anonymous extortion
note was received by a prominent New
York physician. 1t demanded $4,000,
and concluded with the threat: 1--WE

the arrest of the sender Of the note-on
September 16. And on November IA he
was found guilty by a jury and SEN
fenced to prison for 10 years.
How was the case solved? BY care
fully investigating all friends, acquaint-
ances and former patients of the doctor
in an effort to locate the owner of
certain kind of dial typewriter made
for children. For the extortion note, a
Washington expert insisted, had been
written on machine of that type. The
man was eventually found. He proved
to be a former patient, John Isola, a
man with a criminal record, who roomed
with a family where there was little
boy of IL named Billy. This child
owned a dial typewriter, the peculiar
defects of which tailed perfectly with
those in the note.
1t developed that Isola had borrowed
the typewriter one evening about three
weeks before school opened" The
others went to the movies. 1SOla used
the typewriter, and also helped himself
to some Watermarked stationery be-
longing to Billys mother These clues,
together with other evidence, led to
Isola's conviction.
CKILL, patience, persistence-these are
the traits to which the division
owes it's brilliant record. In 1882 5000
division cases were tried and in 4,70O
cases the verdict was guilty for the
men the special agents had tracked
down. In solving kidnapings it has
made a still more remarkable record
crimes. Not all kidnapings are legally
its affair-there must be Federal angles;
a State line must have been crossed in
transporting the victim, or the mails
must have been used to extort. Twenty
cases have legally come under the divi-
sion's jurisdiction since the passage of
the Lindbergh act on June %, 1882. And
all 20 cases have been solved!
In sense, every special agent must
be something of an actor. He must be
able to play role. Into every imagin-
able walk of life he must be prepared
to stroll and appear at home. One

\k/ONSEN, FORMER master OF the Rose
w Murphy, proved difficult to find.
But at last he was located-aboard
fishing smack tied up at dock near
the small town of Niceville, Fla. The
special agent, with other officials,
boarded the boat eagerly-the end of
their long quest was in sight.
They found WonSen in the small FORE
castle, only partly dressed. He received
them calmly, offering no opposition. But
he asked to be allowed to finish dress
ing. The special agent gave consent. and
they stepped ashore to await him within
a few feet of the forecastle. An instant
later shot rang out, and shrek, Won
sen had committed suicide. The master
who had scuttled his ship at sea dared
not face his accuserS.
Thus, all the living conspirators in
this black crime on the high seas were
rounded up, and those who had not died
were convicted. 1t was another in the
long list of victories for the 400 young
'21eA hounds" Of Uncle Sam. '>
