Painter Basses Get Injunction Against Workers: Supreme Court Justice Callahan, the same judge who on Wednesday refused to grant a change of venue’ to Ben.Gold and the 10 other fur workers now being tried in Mineola, L. I, yesterday granted an injunction restraining members of District Council, 19, of the painters, paper- hangers, and decoraters from calling a strike before June 19. Several been out on strike for nearly two weeks, demanding a $2 pay increase. The judge based his decision on an agreement which he said exi8ted be- tween 80 boss painters of Brooklyn and Queens and the district council of the union, and which does not ex- pire until June 19. ° Lawyers for the bosses, in asking for the injunction argued that if the; judge complies with their request, “it will have a far-reaching influence on} the cost of building construction and will affect millions of dollars in con- tracts.” Furriers Wives Join Struggle for Union Pledging to support their hus- bands in their struggle in the Fur- riers’: Union, Fur Council of Working Class Housewives, Number 1, adopted a resolution to that effect. “We hereby resolve,” it reads, “to help our men and children in this great class struggle existing in the Furriers’ Union. We are therefore organizing a Women’s Council organ- ization to endeavor to put a stop to the terrorism and suppression now being inflicted on our fellow men and} “Butch” and “Kid Oscar”, but Mr,| He was released at four o'clock yes-| women. “We further resolve that we will help with the fight against those re-| actionary officials, McGrady, Woll and Schachtman, until this terrors and suppression is ended. “We therefore call upon all wives, mothers and sisters of furriers to at- tend an important meeting to be held at Comrade Lange’s home, 2116 Cro- tona Ave., Bronx, on Wednesday, April 20th, at 8 p. m.

The first question he asked each talesman was: Walsh Makes Objections. “Do you belong te any Communts- tic or Socialistic orders?” Frank P. Walsh and other lawyers for the de- fense objected to this, saying the charges was one of assault, and not} of Communism. Judge Lewis J.| Smith overruled them, however, as he overruled nearly every one of their objections.

I had a very }good view of them as they passed {me within 10 feet, and I have good |reason to feel that neither Sacco nor | Vanzetti were in any way connected | with this crime.

All the city branches of the Inter- national Labor Defense and locals of the needle trades unions will also have their banners, and there are to be delegations from the food work- jers, house wreckers, carpenters, and many other trades which will join in this denunciation of the frame-up of | these two innocent men.
