THE DAILY WORKER, NEW YORK. ATURDA JUNE 4, 1927 Page Thréé JOINT BOARD'S GENERAL STRIKE CALLS OUT NEW YORK FURRIERS | (Continued from Page One) | duct for distributing leaflets were | dismissed in Jefferson Market Court. Mike Intrator, Frank Braunstein and Leon Litwin, taken on a charge of assault, will come up for further ex- amination next Tuesday, Intrator was placed under $1,000 bail, Braunstein under $1,500, and Litwin was re-| leased without bail. The Association’s lawyer Marko- witz tried to raise the old cry of “gangsterism” when the workers were brought to court; but this was promptly answered by the union’s at-| torney Jacob M. Mandelbaum, who | has been engaged as associate counsel with, Frank P. Walsh for the dura-| tion of the strike. Mandelbaum stat- ed that since the Joint Board had 95 per cent of the workers loyally sup- porting it, there would be no neces- sity of resorting to the use of gang- sters to do its picket work. | Prove Falsity of Charge. | “The Joint Board has offered, and/| it offers now,” said Mandelbaum, “to | prove the absolute falsity of this charge.” | The striking workers marched in an impromptu progression from the| fur market to four Kast Side halls about 10 o'clock yesterday morning, | and there they were addressed by the members of the Strike Committee. Members of the independent. and fur trimming shops at these meetings voted to give 10 per cent of their wages as a strike assessment. They were anxious to give 16 per cent, but ten per cent is all that is needed now. They will give more later if it is wanted. These workers, who came out for a one-day stoppage will re- turn to their shops on Monday. All of them received working cards to- day. “No Strike at All.” While this demonstration of thou- sands of workers was still at its height, right wing leaders were busy denying that there is any strike at all. H. Schlissel, manager of the “reorganization committee” of the In- ternational declared that a total of 50 workers had walked out of Asso- ciated shops. This is so ridiculous it needs no answer, epecially since} Schlissel himelf proceeds to say, “Anyway you cannot say that all the| workers who did not go to work went | on strike. Lots of them would have Stayed away anyhow. And you can- not count those who stay away next week either, because Monday and Tuesday are holidays.” Shops Tied Up. Ben Gold, manager of the Joint Board, stated that Schlissel knows very well that most fur workers do not remain away from their jobs on these holidays. “He is looking for some sort of apology for the fact that the workers came down from the Associated shops almost 100 per cent, and are going to stay out until these manufacturers live up to the agree- ment they have violated.” Gold announced that on Monday or Tuesday a complete list of shops would be ready, with a report on just how many workers are scabbing. Woll Raises Red Cry. Among those denouncing the strike yesterday was Matthew Woll, acting president of the National Civic Fed- eration and a member of the A. F. of L. Reorganization Committee in the Furriers’ Union, Woll as usual raised the “red terror” cry. He knows so little about the Furriers’ Union that he denies that the Associated is in any way disregarding its agreement with the International Fur Workers’ Union. He does not know that the agreement was signed with the Joint Board, not the International, and that the Associated has riot only violated this agreement by forcing workers to register with the International, but has broken it in c~e detail after an- other in the shops.

Fuller and his| own committee are continuing the! quizzing of witnesses and expert, The | new committee, composed of Presi-| dents Lowell and Stratton of Har-; vard and “Boston Tech” with Grant will act in a strictly advisory capa-| city, it is expected. Three defense witnesses, James J. O’Neil of Boston, a lawyer, and Lena Allen and Harry Kurlansky of Quin- cy were questioned by the governor.| Judge Cotillo of New York expressed his interest in the case of a letter, Filipo Turati, head of the Italian So- cialist Party, whose headquarters have been transfered to Paris, asks “mercy” for Sacco and Vanzetti. His | eablegram, curiously worded, reads: “Your refusal to intervene will kill! more than two men for years in tor-| ment; this refusal will kill the mutual trust between civilized nations; it would open a gulf of bloodshed be-| tween Europe and America, which the | waters of the Atlantic would not ef-| face. We feel sure, sir, that you will) pronounce the word of,mercy which! the world expects from! you.” | Sixteen hundred more names, ask-| ing a commission to revigw the case were forwarded by the New York Na-} tion. The Buffalo Sacco-Vanzetti conference, representing 42 labor bod- | ies asks freedom while the Working | Men’s Labor League of Vancouver,; B. C. wants unconditional pardon for} the two workers. The Parkhead Socialist Sunday | School of the Glasgow, Seotland, La-! bor Institute ask a retrial. A ¢able} from Haarlem, Holland asks interven- | tion “in the gracious name of Jesus) Christ.” The Swiss section of the European committee to save Sacco and Vanzet-| ti is appealing for signatures to a petition asking a new trial. Keep Preachers in Place. H Thomas J. Boynton, former state | attorney general, denounced efforts | to obtain justice for Sacco and Van- zetti is an interference with the courts. The idea of a fact-finding commission to review the evidence nettled him especially. } “I recently told a minister quar- tered at my home,” he declared, “that the ministers and the chureh should mind their own business with regard to the Sacco-Vanzetti case. I told him that coming from the clergy such a| move for a fact-finding commission would be comparable to the: demand for a trial by a mob on the stroet.” wai. i A FRESH, WHOLESOME VEGETARIAN MEAL Come to | Scientific Vegetarian Restaurant E. 107th Street New York.
