It must merci scsly fight against this effort to | ‘rush the attempts to organize and trike for better conditions. This is he fight not only of the striking afeteria workers, not only of the urriers who are about to go on trike, but the strike of the working lass as a whole for the elementary ight to organize and picket. For his reason, the demonstration in| Jnion Square today at 1:30 assumes | saramount importance for all work- | ys, For this reason also, all work- rs should come in masses to protest | gainst police brutality, against the rrest of Ben Lifshitz, Communist rganizer, against the arrest of the vioncers who demonstrated against olice brutality.

Charges Trick. “Ben Lifshitz is being deliberately | apt in jail in order to prevent his | ppearance at the big demonstration oday to protest police brutality in| Inion Square,” Rose Baron, secre- ary of the New York District of tt. nternational Labor Defense stated esterday, and continued: “Five minutes after he was sen- enced last Saturday, Jacques Bui- enkant, attorney for the I. L. D., iled a peition for the court minutes n order that an appeal may be ranted. It generally takes a single ay to secure these minutes.” No Minutes. It is now six days since Lifshitz vas sentenced and there are still 1o minutes. It is usually possible to ‘ecure minutes without delay. And f the defendant happens to be a verson who stole thousands of dol- ars through big-scale graft, he is, of course, shown the greatest cour- esy. But if the defendant happens o be a militant worker, who is sen- enced for activity in behalf of his lass, every obstacle is placed in the vay of an appeal and he is kept in ail indefinitely. “The New York District of the aternational Gabor Defense con- emns these tactics on the part of je flunkies of Tammany Hall. It alls upon all workers to demon- rate against the Tammany terror rday and to protest against the con- nued imprisonment of Lifshitz.” CYCLONE KILLS WORKER. YUMA, Ariz.

BARE HYPOCRISY OF SCHLESINGER: (Continued from Page One} the right wing gang, with the ready |assistance of the bosses, began their jcampaign to establish piece-work. Turning to the present task of the cloakmakers, the Joint Board de-: clares that they must begin imme- diate mobilization for a real strike.

On the day when the company union will call its fake “stoppage” work- jers are urged to assemble at the halls arranged by the Needle Work- ers Industrial Union, and join in | tr ansforming the fake stoppage into a genuine mass struggle against the |bosses for better conditions. “This will be the answer of the |workers to Schlesinger’s hypocrit- ical appeals,” concludes the state~ {ment.
