COVER UP CRIME Capitalist Press Is Not | Interested in Facts Continued from Page One suits for pressing and cleaning. He | wanted Saturday night off, but the boss wouldn’t grant it. So he just took it. Went to enjoy a boxing match, whooped it up like the rest | ¢} of the kids. But the boss docked him a whole day’s pay. Louis got even, as kids will. He gathered up| a couple of old suits from the boss’ customers to make up for that day’s | pay. Caught! Sent up to the reforma- | tory by the boss’ complaint. By this | prank, Louis came under the ban of capitalist law, which protects all posses’ property and takes no ac-/ count of a young worker's being | swindled out of wages. Feared Persecution. | Louis got out of the reformatory, | a hell of a place to “reform” any- body even if they are “criminal,” which Louis was not. But he was| > only on parole. If “picked up” again, | however unjustly, it would mean prison again for more years. And Louis was young and had no years to spare, for he had a sweetheart, too. That’s where some trouble began, because his brother Pat didn’t like | ° he match. But Louis was working, »p till cold weather shut off his job few weeks back. His interest in axing had grown until he took it up as a hobby. Not a “pug,” just an amateur, for the love of it. Harmless Family Dispute. Christmas night, Louis and his | brother, both of whom knew and were well-known by Policeman Moran, were having 2 few. words over the matter of Louis’ sweet- heart, when Moran butted in, wanted to take sides against Louis but was dissuaded by Pat. But Moran left, saying of the love affair, “Yl break them apart.” - | Thursday around noon, Louis) visited a friend’s place, with a sat- chel containing his boxing gloves, etc. He left there, about 5 o'clock, afternoon. Went to meet his sweet- heart at the street door of her home. Police Moran saw the couple to- gether. . “Bring in All Criminals.” Here’s where Commissioner Whalen’s order to round up all “known criminals” operated. Wasn't | Louis Bianca a terrible criminal. Of | course he was; he had wanted a half a day off three years ago! That’s | his crime. And here he was, a 19) year old “desperado” actually daring to meet a 17 year old girl sweetheart jn broad daylight on the street. Surely a terrible crime! Moran ar- rested him and dragged him away from his sweetheart. Up to the street they passed the store. where Louis’ brother Pat works. Louis begged Pat to help He hung to Pat’s sleeve until Moran beat his hands with a club. Pat, too, has a boss, and the boss wouldn’t let him go to help his brother, who dreaded to lose his parole and be shipped back to the hell of a prison. Cold Blooded Murder. | A few minutes later, Pat was told that Moran had shot his brother not over a block away. Said Louis “attempted escape.” Hell of an ex- cuse. Moran knows the whole family, If the boy had broken away, he could be found at home any time. Pat ran to the scene, but couldn't find his brother who had been taken to a hospital by an acquaintance. Other’ friends of Pat ‘warned him to stay away from Moran, who was “wild.” But soon Moran, minus hat anid club, but waving a gun, came upon Pat and yelled out: “You! On account of you I shot him! Get the) hell down the block or I'll give it to you, too!” Moran is known as “Shell Shock” Moran, always thirsting for blood. That’s why he makes a good police- man. Ready to “treat ’em rough,” break strikes, bully the workers, shoot first, investigate after. Last 4th of July, a kid let off a fire- ¢racker near Moran. So Moran shot up the neighborhood. Terrorized the kids. Who knows but that kids who play with firecrackers may grow up to be “criminals.” All round nice cop, just like Whalen wants, Capitalist Press Lies, Louis Bianca is dead. But that doesn’t tell all the story. The capi- talist papers told you the boy was “suspected” of robbing the tailor shop of Joseph Goldliner, at 334 BE. 100th S Street. Other yarns say that he was “seized in a hold up.” That is all capitalist press hokum. The capitalist reporters never! trouble to look into a worker's! death. Take the police story. “Brave op; vicious criminal.” The Daily Worker don’t take any- thing ES ioeton We went to see tailor, at his home near his little shop.

Asked Goldliner if he could identify the articles taken, “Sure,” he told them. But he hasn’t even been in- vited to identify anything yet. “And the clothes, they don’t come back!” said Mrs. Goldliner. They know nothing of Bianca. Where Is the Evidence? We ask if police have searched the house for goods stolen from Goldliner. “No.” And we are in- vited to see that the humble work- ing class home contains no “loot,” as the capitalist press term it.
