The si- lence was broken when women and children began to sob as the men were led out of the court-room. A crowd of sobbing women and chil- dren surrounded the hand-cuffed men in the corridor to bid them a heart- rending farewell, The sentenced men were six of the eleven who were arrested last September on the charge of having thrown a bomb which hurt no one and which damaged little property. The bomb-throwing and the trial are regarded as a frame-up designed to prevent the entrance of*the A. F. of L. into the textile strike. The remaining five of the eleven, Paul are Thomas Regan, meski, Joseph Toehl, Paul Kovae, and Nicholas Stehillaci. They are being held on $15,000 bail apiece.

Not Sluggers. “Some of them have been members | of the union as long as ten to four- teen years, many being married and having families to support. These people are not sluggers, but workers who are fighting for food for their children and in defense of their un- ion. “While we find these union men be- ing sentenced to long terms of im- beat up the strikers, are either discharged or let go with a small fine. Strikers Slugged. “Today, many of the strikers are still in the hospital as a result of the beatings they received on the! picket line from the gangsters of the bosses, who are walking the streets as free men, and at the same time to long terms of imprisonment.” | Portnoy’s Statement. Julius Portnoy, manager of Local 22 of the I. L. G. W. U.,: expressed the. greatest indignation at thé severe sentences saying: “Most of these men are absolutely innocent, and only pleaded guilty when they had been held in jail for a long time under excessive bail and were made to feel that by pleading {guilty to a lesser offense they would fare better in this obviously preju- \diced case. It is disgraceful that it \is possible in this city to persecute} | workers in this way.” | Gold’s Statement. | Ben Gold, manager of the Furriers | | Union Joint Board, also issued a | statement: | “Judge Rosalsky’s wholesale job on} |the cloak strikers would be a surprise | leven to such as would expect the! worst from him.« His sentencing of | |cloak strikers to Sing Sing will open| the eyes of thousands of workers to} the truth that workers cannot expect justice from judges who serve the in- terests of the ruling boss class. It) |must be said ebout Rosalsky that he! \faithfully serves his masters—the | | bosses. | | Did Rosalsky Care? | | “Did Judge Rosalsky know that |these men whom he sent away to |prison for years were striking. and | struggling for a bigger slice of bread | /for their wives and children? Did he | |stop to think that while his family |will have plenty of the best food,| |while his children will have the best, clothes and education and life's pleas- | jures, the wives and children of these | \ striking workers whom he sent to prison will suffer in misery and | starvation? Not Justice. H “Why this gulf between Rosalsky and a worker? Kecause capitalist society rewards such judges as Rosal- sky who help the ruling class to sub- jugate and exploit the workers. It is not a question of justice or conscience to him. Suffer, or make the other one to suffer, is the law’ of capitalist society. Rosalsky has chosen the lat- ter. Will the organized workers be silent? I wonder what President Green or Matthew Woll will have to say? I suspect they will say nothing. But the workers must express their feelings in this matter. The time is fast approaching when the workers will know the place for such judges as Rosalsky. The Rosalskys will only help to bring this time nearer.” Bronx Workers Forum |, NEXT SUNDAY, JAN. 30th at 8 P, M.
