\ \ ' a | THE DAILY WORKER, NEW YORK, FRIDAY, JUNE: L 1928 Page Five Silas B. Axtell, Slanderer of Soviet. Union, Exposed as Ambulance Chaser | ADMITS SHYSTER PRACTICES AT BAR HEARINGS Seamen Are I Robbed by| Ambulance Chasers Silas B. Axtell, fokorions as an am- bulanece chasing lawyer, quiry before Supreme Court Justice Wasservogel that he has a house in| Staten Island in which he keeps his} clients from the time they leave hos- pitals until he has obtained his fee from them. Axtell’s clients. are workers who have been injured while in the course of their occupations. Complaints from many of these in- jured workers charge that ambulance chasing lawyers, thru collusion with unscrupulous doctors and hospital em- ployes, have succeeded in grabbing the lion’s share of awards given the injured workers in court. ~ Axtell, ‘besides making a: reputa- tion as an ambulance chaser, has also thade himself notorious as a-result of attacks upon Soviet Russia. -His-at- tacks were called falsehoods by mem- bers of the American Trade Union Delegation to the Soviet Union, to which “Axtell attached himself, claim- ing to be the délegation’s “legal ad~ viser.” Barred From Hospital. Axtell made himself so notorious as an ambulance chaser, it was re- vealed at the hearing, that the Ship- ping Board had broadcast a warning to bar Axtell’s “runners” from all hospitals. Axtell, it was shown, maintains a staff of solicitors in many other American ports besides New York. The Shipping Board had gone so far as to bar one of Ax- tell’s solicitors from a New Orlears Hospital. It was also revealed that Axtell wrote letters to injured seamen, soli- | citing their cases, and wrote articles unscrupulous maritime publica-j for tions, in which he advertised his “skill” in seamen’s damage suits. Ax- tell is counsel for several reactionary seamen’s unions,*such as the Eastern and Gulf Sailors’ Association, Fire men’s and Water Tenders’ Associa- tion. -Axtell admitted that these unions~prevailed on their members. to use his services. Axtell recently earned notoriety thru his action in lobbying in Wash-! izgton. to aid the shipping bosses’ ‘mands for a federal ship subsidy. REGISTRATION FOR WIR CAMP STARTS Will Be Maintained for Workers Children The Workers International Relief has announced that applications of workers’ children for a vacation at its children’s camp are now: being accepted. P The camp is located in the White Rock Mountains at Wingdale, New York. “The main purpose of the W.I.R, in maintaing this camp is to give workers’ children a chance to spend a vacation where they can build healthy bodies thru proper care and outdoor activities and at the same time to give them an education that wilh make better members of and fighters for the working class,” the organization announced. , “The. Young Pioneers of America are not running their own camp this /|{ year. They are giving their support and cooperation to the W.LR. chil- dren’s camp. ; “It is the aim of the W.LR. to give #8 many workers’ children as possi- ble a chance to spend their vacation “in this camp. The rates are very low “and even then special arrangements will be made for children of strikers, wnemployed or any other workers who are unable to pay full ~tes.” Further information can be ,ob- tained from the Workers Interna- tional Relief, 1 Union Square, N.

The last of some 150,000 copies of a black-edged leaflet calling upon workers to attend the Haywood meet- jing were distributed last night, the New York District of the Workers (Communist) Party, under whose auspices the meeting is being held, reported. shown in the Haywood memorial meeting during the past few days that Commander Jean A. Brunner, of the New York thate Department of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, is re- ported to be angered over the fact that he ever attacked the meeting. Jingoes Sore. Commander Brunner’s appeal to the U. S; Department of Justice to stop the memorial on the ground that Haywood died a fugitive from a fed- eral court—opposing the most disas- trous imperialist war in history was the “crime”’—has proved a boomer- jang. Instead of discouraging -work- ers’ from attending the meeting, the “appeal” showed the true character of \jingo’ organizations and__ inspired workers with a desire to show their solidarity. Some of the most prominent work- ing class leaders in the country will address the meeting, Jay Lovestone, national executive secretary of the Workers (Communist) Party, heads the list of speakers. Others will include Robert Minor, editor of The DAILY WORKER; James P. Cannon, executive secretary of the International Labor Defense; Herbert Zam. secretary of the Young Workers (Communist) League, and Martin Henderson, old-time associate of Haywood and recently a delegate from Florida to the National Nomin- ating Convention of the Workers Party.
