According to the evidence avail- able against the missing swindler, Scotto has been guilty of numerous larcenies during the past few years, none of which had been discovered hy the State Superintendent of Banks, Frank Warder, until last week, when the owner had already made good his escape. Maieli was held Sunday on $25,000 bail on a short affidavit charging forgery. Scotto disappeared from his lux- urious residence in Brooklyn early last week. It is believed that he had skipped to $700,000. Assets of the bank, now in charge of federal receivers, are estimated at $400,000 and liabilities at more than $800,000, excel e of the amount covered by Scotto’s alleged epeculations. Several thousand de- positors, most of them Italian work- crs, will lose all or most of their savings through the banker’s graft. Lapidus, Militant Carpenter, Expelled by Hutcheson Gang Joseph Lapidus, active militant of Local 1164 of the Carpenters’ Union, has been expelled by the re- actionary Hutchegon machine fol- lowing his appeal to the convention of the International held at Lake- land, Florida. The expulsion of Lapidus occurred h that of nearly a dozen other militant members of the union who have been courageous enough to voice their opposition to the policies of the strikebreaking Hutcheson ma- chine. Lapidus, originally a member of Local 376, which was broken up by Hutcheson, was transferred to Lo- eal 114. Later when he was nomi- nated for president of the local, he was prevented from running for the office. It was then discovered that Hutcheson had sent a secret order to the officers of a number of locals to which members of Local 37 had been assigned to deprive these mem- bers of the right to hold office in the International. When the case of Lapidus came before the conven- .tion, he "was expelled.

All militant workers should not enly register this week in order to qualify for voting on November 6, should not only vote on that day for the candidates of the Workers (Communist) Party, but should do | everything possible to get other workers to do the same, so that |such a large vote for the Workers Party will be piled up in the pres- | ent elections that at the next state \elections militant workers will not |only have the opportunity to regis- ter during, registration week but will also have an opportunity to en- | roll for the Workers (Communist) Party on the enrollment blank. | Every worker must understand very clearly that he should not sign any blank given him during this week, hut should simply give his name, address and other informa- |tion to the® registration official, should take the enrollment blank with him in the registration booth and fold it without putting any mark or sign on the enrollment |blank.

Registration qualifications, poll taxes in certain states, discrim- ination against Negroes; refusal to give alien workers and young work- ers between the ages of 18 to 21 right to vote are some other devices that are used by the bosses against the working class. | “Militant workers, however, must ;not permit this trick from prevent- | ing them from supporting the party |of the working class, the party of |the class. struggle, the Workers (Communist) Part of America. All workers who have reached the age of 21 and are voting for the first time, all workers who have moved from other states to New York state and are voting in New York state for the first time should go to the public school in their neighborhood and take the literacy test. This simply requires an elementary knowledge of reading on the part of the worker and thus establish the right to register this week and be [in a position to vote on November |6 for the candidates of the Workers (Communist) Party of America.” LOEB-LEOPOLD NOVEL.

Applause greeted the speakers throughout. A . collection of $170 was taken in. Twenty-five Negro workers were in the audience and listened ettentively to the speeches. STEEL WORKERS’ CASE IS ARGUED By W. J. WHITE. (Special to the Daily Worker) SHARON, Pa., Oct. 6 (By Mail). —The case of Andy Kavocavich. framed up by the U. S.

In the case of Tony Kavocavich on a similar charge, the worker was brought into court for sentence, but attorneys Ferguson and Ellenbogen, acting for the International Labor Defense, raised the question of the jurisdiction of the court inasmuch as the argument was made a year |ago and the court has not disposed | of the case in a reasonable time.
