Now, Barney Cantor, grocer, of 867 South Third St., Brooklyn, has taken out a warrant for Heller’s ar- rest becauso the yellow labor “leader” is said to have demanded a large sum in cash graft if he didn’t want his store picketed by right wing hirelings. The grocery store owner stated he had been threatened by the store owners association of Brooklyn to get out of business or join their organization. Upon his refusal to do so, Cantor said, the employers association had sent the so-called union official to him to make the threat more graphic. After threat- ening to drive the store owner out of business, Heller is said to have demanded money if Cantor wanted to avoid becoming a member of the bosses association. Heller is alleged to have declared that he had the power to protect him from the other employers. The grocer, however, knows that the right wing grocery clerks union not only has no members, but is no union, being merely a racketeering outfit. He therefore defied the “Communist-eater” and arranged for his arrest.

Smith’s stand on what he chooses to call the question of “labor” is an adroit paraphrase of some of the mouthings of William Green and | jand Mathew Woll, with even an |evasion of much of the weasel- |wording used by those gentlemen. |He made plain that he is in favor | jof the use of injunctions in labor disputes, but makes a distinction | (entirely meaningless) between |what he considers warranted in- junctions and “unwarranted” in- junctions against the workers. The | portion of the speech devoted to “la- | jbor” came toward the close. It | teads: | “The American people constitute a structure of many component |parts. One of its foundations is la- |bor. The reasonable contentment of. |those who toil with the conditions junder which they live and work is an essential basis of the nation’s | |well-beng. The welfare of our country therefore demands govern- |mental concern for the legitimate | | interest of labor. | | “The democratic party has al-| | ways recognized thia fact and under | | the administration of Woodrow Wil- | | son, a large body of progressive leg- jislation for the protection of those | laboring in industry, was encated. |Our platform continues that tradi- |tend the giant rally march to Union Square. Fiery slo- gans and banners denouncing capi- talist class “justice” which was re- sponsible for the frenzied murder of Sacco and Vanzetti were being prepared for the demonstration. These will be carried thru the downtown streets enroute to Union Square today. Shops Active. Organized groups were formed by members of the International Labor Defense in their own shops and preparations were made to at- in a_ body. During the entire afternoon the telephones of the Daily Worker and International Labor Defense were flooded with queries as to whether or not the demonstration was to take place despite the rain. A hurried consultation of the of- ficials of the New York section of the I. L, D. held at an eleventh hour resulted in the decision to postpono the meeting until today. Confi- dence was expressed that the mag- nitude of today’s demonstration would be increased as a result of | \the delay under the circumstances. In a statement issued by Rose Baron, I. L. D. local secretary late yesterday afternoon, she pointed out | that the “holding of the memorial meeting on August 23 would be on the correct anniversary of the death of the two martyrs inasmuch | as Sacco and Vanzetti were exe-| cuted a few minutes after midnight | of August 22.” | Meetings Thruout World.

Composed of workers from the anthracite, textile and needle trades, the students, half of whom are girls, are spending eight hours daily in lectures and discussions on subjects which include American history, “@sonomic theory, imperialism, pub- lie speaking, workers’ correspond- ence and youth problems and the history of the youth movement. The course is organized for thd purpose of “giving the leading League} functionaries a training in the principles of the class struggle, and to train them for leadership in all struggles of the young workers.” Instructors include*Gil Green, na- tional agitprop director of the Young Workers (Communist) League; Hy- man Gordan, district agitprop direc- tor of the League; Philip Frankfeld, acting district organizer of the League; Sender Garlin, of the staff of the Daily Worker; Karl Weis- berg, and others. Open-air speaking, signature col- lections in connection with the Workers Party election campaign and activity for the youth confer- ence comprise some of the work en- gaged in by the students after the school sessions.
