Shifrin is facing a possible life term on a charge of second degree murder for having defended him- self against a murderous attack by five armed right wing thugs of the Hebrew Butchers Union in Septem- ber, 1928. The nine workers involved in the Mineola case were framed up on assault charges during the 1926 fur strike. The conference on the 19th will he followed by a mass meeting Fri- close connections of Tammany mag- istrate Vitale with gangsters, it was indicated yesterday. Vitale is the fascist and bitter foe of militant labor, whose party was held up some weeks ago by seven gangsters, and who later returned a gun to a Tammany detective from whom the stick-up men had taken it. In the ‘investigation” of the hold- | up, further connections between Vit- ale and the gangsters seem to have | cropped up.

One faction, he said, was headed by former Governor Smith and Ed- ward J. Flynn, Bronx leader, and the other by Mayor Walker. Thus, many workers who were misled into thinking of Al Smith as anything but an ordinary big capitalist politician and willing tool of the bosses, see Smith dragged into a sordid mess-pot connecting Smith’s Tammany organization with the same gangsters and thugs who act as strikebreakers against the workers. © ee CAPITALISM MAKES PROSTITUTES DETROIT.
