Carlo Tresc2 was the main speakér of the evening. Other speakers were Peter Teem, President Pressers Local 202, and loeal TUE slaggéd by A amated gangster: about. two weeks ago, Anthony Capraro, Secretary of the rank and file committee of the Amalgamated and Louis Panetta, Chairman of the Rank and File C ittee of the Amalgamated who presided at the meeting, Peter Teem gave a description of the attack on him. He also told of a man by the name of Sam Farrara, a Chatman lackey and one who is rumored about to be the local Chat- man individual in charge of gang- sterism here. A moment before Teem was slugged, this same Sam Farrara was seen waving his hand to the gangsters pointing out Teem to them. A few seconds later Com rade Teem was slugged from the back. Teem had seen Farrara wave his hand, but did not know the meaning of that until after the slugging. Refuses to Jail Siugger. Sam Farraro had been subpoenaed by the captain of the detectives MacDonald and questioned as to his whereabouts on the morning -of the slugging. Despite the fact that he couldn’t give satisfactory answers, Sam Farrara v defended at the police headquarters by no’ less a person than John MacMann, presi- dent of the Rochester Joint Board of the Amalgamated. The police, however, refused to arrest Farrara on the testimony of Comrade Teem, and instead of giving Farrara the third-degree as should be the case. » Teem was given a thorough quiz- zing. Captain MacDonald asked Comrade Teem whether he was a Communist, what kind of a Party it is, whether he liked this govern- ment, whether he was in sympathy with the Gastonia victims, whether he worked for Sacco and Vanzetti, ete. Despite the obvious lack of con- nection between the assault and these" questions, MacDonald insisted that Teem answer those questions. ~Jonas Freedman, a business agent of the Amalgamated, who had threatened Sol Horowitz with being the next one to be slugged was also subpgenaed by Ma-Donald. However, § in:the previous case, so too here, lorowitz was asked the same ques- tipns ‘as to his connections with the migiinist movement, Gastonia, yaccd-Vanzetti, etc, and the cor- rupt business agent who had made these“threats to Horowitz was rdly. questioned.

Louis Panetta, who presided at the meet- ig also attacked the local Chat- mjan gang and explained the new as- s@ssmiént that is to be checked off ftom the pay-envelopes by the bosses, He said that this new check- off a§sessment is a prelude to a new eheck-off dues system because the local Chatman gang no longer has the confidence of the workers and has suspended a majority of the membership of the union—the entire Local 202. The following resolution adopted unanimously: 1, No assessments collected by the bosses. 2. No dues until all expelled and suspended inembers and the sus- pended Local 202 be restored to their former status. 8. The end of gangster rule in the Amalgamated. .4, Direct representation from the shop—the Shop-Delegate Sys- tem, 5. Immediate preparations for the struggle for the abolition of the Arbitration Machinery. 6. Immediate abolition of the piece-work, speed-up system and the establishment of week work at pre- vailing piece-rate earnings. 7. Struggle for the 40-hour 5- day week, 8.

The capitalist governments of the world, at the head of which stands the are now busy at work hatching new plots against the Soviet Union. It jis the American Youth that will be made into on-fodder by Ameri- }can imperia who are preparing |to carry out their plans for the de- {struction of the Soviet Union. For |this reason International Youth Day assumes an important place in the iplans of the Communist Party and Young Communist League and in jthe life of the American working- |class youth for the defense of the |Soviet Union. i | The American Youth have many splendid traditions in the struggle lagainst militarism and imperialism. |In the armed forced of the United |States imperialists in Hawaii, Com-| rades Crouch, Trumbull, and others succeeded in building up a Com- jmunist League and giving the Y. C, L. in this country its frist ex- perience in work within the armed} forces. Comrade John Porter who is now serving a two and one-half year sentence in the Fort Leaven-| worth Military Prison has also added much to the fine traditions of fearlessness and militancy of the American Youth in its struggles against the jingoes of American! militarism. The campaign for the freeing Comrades Crouch and.Trumbull that 1925 played an important part in class-war prisoners. demonstrations must be made to play an important role securing of Comrade John Porter’s freedom.

One of the major tasks confronting the young |workers is the struggle for the re- lease of the young textile strikers of Gastonia. The attempts to rail- jtoad these young workers to jail and in some cases to burn them to death in the electric chair shows the fear that the U. S. imperialists have for the militant unions of the working- class. However there is another important factor in the frame-up of these young workers and that is the American government, | |man is another case of the attempts {plans of Wall Street in crushing all of | was developed during the Interna-| tional Youth Day demonstrations in| the eventual release of these two| for , the} answer the| red that there be no meeting there or any other place in Franklin County! ord Delegates Threatened. .
