Deak was rose answered with the confession that the T. M. C. had more, but that there were many sympathetic or- ganizations in the T. M. C. parade. He then declared that this Satur- day’s demonstration completely | stripped from Batty and his Textile | Council any pretentions to leader- ship in the strike. He pointed out that 1,0@0 people followed Batty while 35,000 massed behind the ban- ners of the T. M. C. Denounces Batty. He also denounced Batty and his union for the betrayal he was eng neering in New Bedford. The policy! of sell-out to the bosses, by offer ing to sign an agreement granting the bosses a vicious speed-up sys-} tem which would nullify a recall of the wage cut, was characterized by the Passaic represertative as the policy that has made the U. T. W into a rotten skeleton instead of a union. TO HOLD FIRST ~ HUGE RED RALLY N. Y. Candidates Will Speak Sept. 28 Continued from Page One militant union.

Every class- conscious worker should be there,as a sign of solidarity with the ex-| ploited toiling youth.

While officials investigated a re- port that bootleggers were smug- gling in grain alcohol from Porto Rico to replenish their lowered ‘sup- ply, gunmen entered the bottling establishment of Pasquale Livoy and attempted to atone for the shooting of one of their members Monday.

Schiffrin is held on a charge of homicide while his two com- panions and the three right wingers are out on bail of $1,500. The case grew out of an attempt of the socialist officials of the But- chers Union, to deprive a left wing worker from his job because he had been a supporter of a demand to in- vestigate the finance records of I. Korn, socialist head of the union. | These brutal methods of crushing the militancy out of the Jewish la-/ bor movement, which are resorted to by the right wing are condemned vehemently by the workers.

The ruling was put in effect af- ter the escape of four prisoners from the jail Sunday night. They sawed their way to freedom through the bars in a window in the jail dining room. The prisoners were engaged in reed work. They refused to leave their cells unless they were accorded the recently rescinded right. Prison authorities said the strike did not amount to “a row of pins” because other prisoners were only too willing to be permitted to leave their cells to work in the reed room, Continue School Strike Until Parents Demands Are Met by Authorities While Miss McCooey, associate superintendent of the Brooklyn pub- lie schools, and Dr. Baker, superin- tendent of the schools in the eastern section of Brooklyn denied that there was a strike because of over- crowded schools, inconvenient loca- tion and traffic menace, mothers held two mass meetings last night at 8:30, one outside Public School No. 19 and the other outside Public School No. 50 at which it was de- cided to carry on the strike. .
