PASSAIC POLICE HIDE IDENTITY DURING ATTACK Cover Up Badges When Assaulting Strikers (Special to The Dally Worker) PASSAIC, N. J., April 9—~The riot- ing police of Passalc have adopted new tactics with which they hope to fool the picket lines. They are try- ing to hide their identity. Before they rushed to attack the peaceful pickets before the Gera mill one day this week, they removed their badges from caps and coats or cover- ed them before they began their vici- ous club swinging. As if obeying orders, they put the badges with the numbers by which they could be iden- tified, Into their pockets. and began their brutal attack. Police Molest Pickets.

The candidates on the tick- ets of these factions are pledged to carry out the program of big busi- ness, faithfully. Injunctions, gings, terrorism of union workers by the courts, police and other agencies of the government will be prevalent regardless which faction wins. What is true of the republicans is also true of the democrats. Both the Brennan and the Dunne-Harrison- O'Connell factions in the democrat party will serve the bosses.
