ONIGHT TO PLAN Workers to Mobilize Against Sellout (Continued from Page Onc) | compelled) to shell out. It is ‘a well | known characteristic of company union agents that their hands can usually be found in the workers’ pockets. And so a_cloakmakor, after being fleeced and betrayed all around, before he can return to work today to enjoy his “victory,” must pay up all his dues and ‘taxes, in addition to forking over a day’s wages. But the company union officials | ren’t stingy either ey flooded the workers with brass | vand music and speeches (the same | eld line ‘of bull), urging them to smile while they were being oper- ated on for the removal of cash. Yot a Cent To Company Union.” | “Not a cent to the company | union,” is the slogan issued by the| Industrial Union. All cloakmakers are urged to refuse to be terrorized | into swelling the already overflow- ing I. L. G. W. treasury. An appeal has been issued by the Rank and File Clothing Workers’ Committee of 35 of the Amalga- mated Clothing Workers Section of the Trade Union Educational League, urging all men’s clothing workers to give one cent or “work one min- ute to help betray the cloakmakers.” ‘The corrupt Hillman machine in the A. C. W., which works hand in hand with the I. L. G. W. machine, has decided to turn over $10,000 to the company union and to tax the cloth- ing workers two hours work each for the IL. G. W. fake stoppage. Today the agreement which places the workers more completely in the | grip of the employers and _ their | company union agents is being signed at the City Hall with two of Tammany’s luminaries, Mayor Valker and Lieutenant. Governor ehman, giving Tammany’s blessing. | toes ie | Thug Given Light Sentence. At the mass picketing demonstra- | tion yesterday, which was attended | by thousands of cloakmakers who | answered the call of the Industrial | Union, there was another attack by | a company union guerilla on a mili- tant worker. Jack Glatt narrowly escaped serious injury at the hands of J, Geller who, when taken into custody, was found to have the usual record of devotion to the cause of “socialism,” to wit: a diploma from | a reformatory where he was sent as | a boy, two one and a half year sen- tences in Sing Sing for larceny and one two and a half year term for grand larceny, etc., etc. Despite his | record and the brutality of his at- tack, he was given only five days in the workhouse. In contrast to this light sentence was -the 30-day sentence imposed on Max Banker, a cloakmaker arrested feveral days ago. The charge -gainst him was “felonious assault.” Dressmakers Meet Thursday. The Needle Trades Workers’ In- dustrial Union, in addition to its program of struggle in the cloak in- dustry, is preparing to launch an intensive drive for the organization of the dressmakers, For this pur- pose it is calling a meeting of all dressmakers in Webster Hall, 119 E. 11th St., on Thursday at 7 p.m. Communist Activities il be held at 6:30 p. | n.

The “Incitement” Argument. Judge Gary, trying the case, swept all this “evidence” ide in disgust, basing the charge against the men in his instruction’ to the jury on another theory: He said: “The conviction has not gone on the ground that they have actually any participation in the particular act which caused the death of Policeman Degan, (one of seven killed) but the conviction pr. 3 upon the ground that they had generally by speech and print, ad- vised large classes of people, not particular indiyiduals, but large classes, to, commit murder, and had left the commission, the tim d place and when, to the individual will or whim or caprice, or what- ever it may be, of each individual man who listened to their advice, and that in consequence of that ad- vice, somebody not known did throw the bomb. Now, if this is not a correct principle of the law, then the defendants of course are entitled to a new trial.” No one seriously accused Parsons, Spies, Engel or Fielden of throwing that bomb, just as no one serious! accuses little Sophie Melvin or Ve: Bush or Amy Schechter or Fred Beal, for example, of aiming guns at Chief of Police Aderholt—but Parsons, Spies, Engel, and Fielden were hanged, and the electric chair yawns for Sophie Melvin, and 14 other Gastonia worke: and org: zers. Frame-Up Tactics. How was this accomp in Chicago, and how will they try to do it in Gastonia? First, by a packed jury.

Then comes the newspaper hysteria, whipping up the community against the defendants, the packing of the jury, the use of perjured witnesses, the doctrine of guilt by agitation, not by direct par- ticipation, The lesson to the workers of to- day is this: if they would prevent another mass execution of workers and strike leaders every one knows to be innocent, they must create that mass movement for their release, while they are still alive. > | for 55 to 65 hours.
