Street Cleaning Grafters, S THE DAILY WORKER, NEW XORK, FRID/ AY, MAY 11, 1928 RING LEADERS GET Workers Party Activities PROTECTION BY OFFICIAL DELAY Millions in n Graft Being Covered Up bers whom William “Denitant” street cleaning department official, charges with being the men higher up in the lat- est graft scandal felt more secure last night as a result of the delaying of all action in uncover- ing. further details in the steal. It is rumored that the men _ directing the graft ring, who, according to Lougheed’s signed confession, hold responsible positions in the street cleaning department, are now con- fident that no action whatsoever will be taken against them. McGeehan for Delay. t | District Attorney James E. Mc-) Geehan, of the Bronx, who has stated| that no further action will be taken} for over a week, is one of the most| insistent in delaying action. He has} requested that Commissioner of A Lougheed. | le |" J. A. Higgins, for soft pedal | morrow counts Higgins, who was conducting} ca an investigation, to stop his probe for the time being. Higgins has readily consented, adding that the present in-| estigation of the graft city marshals| akes up a great deal of his time. | Cover Up Graft. It was revealed yesterday that since the disclosure of the listing of scores of mythical workers on the street cleaning department’s olls, from 700 to 800 real men have been added to the Bronx staff, seemingly to re- place the fictitious names. This has been done in spite of the fact that he department had apparently been sble to do its work with the mythical mes on its book, +he 700 to 800 men only being listed in an attentpt to cover the extent of the graft. I, M. Sackin, Lougheed’s counsel again charged that an attempt to ag his client is being made to pre- ent further disclosures of the whole- sale looting of the city treasury by upporters of Tarnmany ‘Hall, lephone Stagg 5356, Dr. J.

The I. L. D is now involved in a number of cases in which it is handling the defense work. | One of these is the case of H.| Levin, business agent of the Associ-| ated Shoe and Slipper Workers of Greater New York, which has been waging a strike of almost three months against the efforts of the boss shoe firms to introduce the open shop and cut wages. For his leader- ship in the strike, Levin was framed up on a charge of disorderly conduct | and comes up for trial next Monday. He will be defended by Jacques Bui- tenkant, attorney for the Internation- {al Labor Defense. { Fight Deportatien. The I. L. D. is also leading the | fight against the decision of the U.S | Department of Labor to’ deport A | Kobel, editor of Uus Ilm, Esthonian |Communist weekly. Kobel’s crime | consists in having written two articles immediately after the execution of Sacco and Vanzetti, in which he charged the capitalist class and its | agents in the state and national gov- | ernments with the murder of the two | Italian workers. The I. L. D., through jits counsel, Isaac Shorr, is making vigorous efforts to prevent the de-| | portation order from being carried | out. “The defense of these cases and of others that come up daily makes im- mediate funds necessary,” declared Rose Baron, secretary of the New York Section of the I.
