NEW YORK-Conclusive first
hand evidence that Ernst Thael-
mann, leader of the German Com

and tortured in a Nazi prison was
yesterday laid before a body of
noted American men sitting as an
unofficial court to determine legal
and political conditions in Ger

Testimony by several witnesses
brought out the fact that Thael-

murder of anti-fascists, or even be-

they were attacked by the guards.
About 100 seamen and longshore-

Meanwhile the strike, viii C h
began May 8, continues all along the

suspicion upon the Roosevelt Board
which is hard at work attempting
to get the men back to the docks
and ships on the basis of an agree
ment which is favorable to the ship
owners and not the maritime

The men have given authority to

Show Fraud
By Zausner
Over 100 Affidavits
Show Votes Stolen
From Weinstock

NEW YORK.-The rank and file
of the Painters Brotherhood con-
tinued to pile up evidence yesterday
to prove that Philip zausner stole
over 1900 votes from Louis Vein
stock, the rank and file candidate
for the office of secretary treasurer
of District Council 9.
Late in the day it was reported
that petitions had been signed by
painters in a number of locals de-
manding new elections.
Philip zausner, who claims he
won the elections by a majority of
ATT votes, has said that he will take
Office at the District Council meet
ing that will be held Thursday. The
seating of zausner, however, will
be challenged by Louis Vein
stock and the majority of the
Brotherhood membership who voted
for Weinstock.
At the 84th st. Labor Temple a
committee of union members and
lawyers of the International Labor
Defense and the Civil Liberties
Union were taking testimony re-
garding the conduct of the electors,
which showed that zausner received
majority vote by packing the polls
with gangsters who repeated votes
and refused to allow legitimate
members OF the union to vote.
The rank and file movement to
annul the elections has spread to a
majority of the locals. It is almost
certain that there will be very little
per capita tax paid.to the District
Council if zausner seats himself at
the head Of the Council.
Over a hundred affidavits were
drawn up yesterday stating that the
elections were carried out in a
fraudulent manner.
Testimony at the hearing in the
Labor Temple yesterday showed
that the dirtiest work was done by
Zausner's mobsters in locals 442,
874, 905, 26l and 1011. The cleo
ton committee in these locals were
controlled by the zausner gang.

Sweeping layoffs, for which the

thousands of workers out of the

misery.
Out of fifteen to eighteen hun
dred normally employed in Repub-

indications are that the lay-offs
are only beginning.
Even the Daily Calumet, steel

1000 steel workers in South Chicago
have been fired since the betrayal
Of the strike movement. The paper
also states that thousands more are
doomed to joblessness, and that the

with about two days work a week

Most of those fired are youth

Annual Conference of the

an appeal for the nine innocent
Scottsboro boys facing legal massa-

Court.
This is the first time Mother
Wright, or any other Scottsboro
Mother, has been permitted to make
an appeal for the boys at any
N.A.ACP. meeting, controlled by its
top leadership.
Mother Wright spoke for almost
an hour, describing her European
Scottsboro Defense Tour in COM
pany with the Scottsboro martyr,
the late j. Louis Engdahl. Com
menting on her enthusiastic recep-
ton in the Soviet Union, she briefly
described the successful solution of
the national question by the prole-
tartan revolution and told how the
national minorities, formerly op-
pressed under the tsarist regime
are now enjoying full equality
economic, political, cultural. She
appealed to the delegates to join
the united front fight to smash the

of the nine victims of capitalist
