P THE DAILY WORKER, N EW YORK, FRIDAY, APRIL 15, 1927 Page Thre MacDonald Here; “Forward” to Pay Expense of Visit J. Ramsey MacDonald once Prem- ier of Great Britain arrived in New York yesterday afternoon, He was accompanied on the trip from Eng- land by B. Charney Vladeck, business manager of the Jewish Daily “For- ward”, which is footing all the ex- penses attached to the trip. In return, the present chairman of the British Labor Party will be the “guest of honor” at the forthcoming 80th anniversary celebration which will be held soon, Thus two functions will be served, | for not only will MacDonald grace the seats of honor at the “Forward” celebration where he will be flanked by Morris Hillquit, Abraham Becker- man, Morris Sigman, and the other | high-priests ‘of the official socialists and trade-union bureaucracy, but he will also be utilized to give a little “dignity” to the present treacherous} fight being waged by them against the | workers in the New York needle trades, which is resulting in disrup- tion of the unions and the lowering | of their living standards. | For all official purposes MacDon- ald and his daughter, Isabel who} eame with him, will be the guests of | Miss Lillian D.

At his first trial Basoff had been con- | fronted by a sworn confession he had made to the chief of police, stating | that he had been one of those in the | alleged assault. In court he repudi- ated this confession, saying it had been extracted from him after four detectives had beaten him up with) blackjacks, rubber clubs, hats and fists and feet. “Detective Crowley sat on a chair and says, you musta seen Malkan and riers,” the stool pigeon had férmerly testified.

This circumstantial account of his beating the stool pigeon repudiated in court yesterday, saying that Ben Gold had told him to make the story up, even to the matter of the festered with John Doe warrants to the fur} market, accompanied by detectives, and had picked out various workers for arrest. > Basoff was convicted and sentenced to 2 1-2 years in Sing Sing, at the previous trial, along with the two oth- er furriers. But he has not begun si ng this sentence, and admitted with a smile he “hoped to get off; doesn’t everyone hope so?” Two Greek girls testified they had been working in the “open shop” when someone attacked their boss. They could not identify anyone other than Franklin and Malkan as the assail- ants. I. Winnick, a vice-president of the International Furriers’ Union who is working with the A. F. of L. of- ficials to force the left wings furriers into surrendering their rights, was present in the court room as a visitor, | and had a long, friendly chat with the Greek girls who testified they had worked in the open shop.
