THE . DAILY WORKER, NEW YORK, FRIDAY, vOV EMBER | 30, 1928 _ Page Fi ive DETECTIVE GANG Tae Party Activities 1 Moai Move ‘FEAR TORTURE SLUGS WORKERS, JUDGE FINES "EM Socialist - Paid Lawyer | Defends Bulls Because six leading members of the Retail Grocery, Fruit and Dairy | Clerks’ Union, had dared to defend themselves against a squad of police plain-clothes-men who illegally in- vaded their union headquarters while a membership meeting was in prog- ress in order to break it up, fines of $10 each was imposed on the by Judge Goodman, who tried the case in the 4th Magistrate Night Court, W. 57th St., late Wednesday night. The members of that militant union were peacefully meeting in the union headquarters at 220 E. 14th St., when A. Heller, chief of- ficial of the shattered right wing Grocery Clerks’ Union entered with a squad of detectives, ostensibly to look for someone who had “threat- ened” him. Instead of asking per- | mission to enter, the police thugs | ond Heller entered, ordered the meet- ing halted amd began to slug the workers. The defense put up by the workers sent the detectives post- hate down the stairs and into the street. From there. they immediately re- turned with over a score of uni- formed and plain-clothes policemen, who lined the whole meeting up against the wall at revolver points and after ordering their hands into the air, began one of the most brutal beatings and sluggings with black-/ jacks and clubs that ever occurred. After this nearly the whole meeting was arrested. At the night court to which they were taken, the judge was compelled | to let most of the workers out, but six of the leading urionists were kept on additional charges preferred by the detectives and the “socialist” union leader. Wednesday’s trial was that of these six. The case was begun Tuesday eve- ning, lasted two hours and was post- poned to’ Wednesday, where after another two hour session the decison | of the judge was rendered. Defend- ing the detective thugs was a lawyer hired by the “socialist” United He- brew Trades, who continually kept injecting that the defendants were “reds,” ous foreigners.” The six fined workers’ are: “A. Triebish, M. Newberg, J. Gordon, hae Hochman, Morris Gordon and A. Nelson, who was fiendishly beaten | up in the police attack. Triebish end Newberg, were singled out by} the labor faker Heller, for charges of assault, which even the capitalist court could not entertain, due to the apparent falsehoods of the “social- ist.” Three others leaders of the left wing Grocery Clerks’ Union, among them H. Schwartz, organizer, are facing. a grand jury hearing. They are being framed by the socialists with having beaten up a scab. Win 2 Year Argument, for Lecture in Schools |i The Board of Education has atter | formally | two years argument, granted’ that the American Ci Liberties Union has the right to hold | free speech meetings in puttic schools, “subject to the regulations | usual for organizations speaking in public schools,” the board says. The case has been before the state | commissioner of education, the} courts, and a committee of the board | of education. And it took two years! to grant permission to speak; when) ‘he next strike breaks out it may ve revoked in two minutes.

LONDON, Nov. 29.—Chamberlain in his first speech in Commons after his recent vacation from. the task of ruling Great Britain’s vast slave lempire, plainly intimated that he was worried over the clash of Amer- ican and British imperialism in the Far East. He said it had always been his “earnest desire to work in harmony both with the United States and Japan” in the subjuga- tion of China, or in diplomatic lan- guage, “the defense of our common interests in China.” This speech, taken in connection with the buzz of excitement in Bri- tish official circles over recent war- like gestures of the United States, such as the Britten attempt to place the British on the defensive in the naval race, is considered significant | | of more strained relations with U.
