MAGISTRATE FLOOD GOT HIS BROTHER OUT ON BAIL IN KILLING CASE Held Delegates of Unemployed Without Bail; Boss Courts Hate Jobless; Excuse Murder When Joseph Flood, the brother of Magistrate John Flood, who re- fused to admit Foster, Minor, Am- ter, Raymond and Lesten, the five leaders of the unemployed to bail, was indicted for manslaugh in the first degree b- the Nassau County grand jury last November 15 for killing his brother-in-law, the | same Magistrate John Flood acted | as his brother’s attorney and secured his release in $10,000 bail. How Different For Workers. It is different when workers are arrested for leading an army of jobless in protest against unemploy- ment. In spite of the fact that! Foster, Minor, Amter, Lesten and Raymond had been charged with nothing more serious than misd meanor on the grounds of “unlaw: assembly,” Magistrate John Flood followed the orders of his capitalist masters and openly and cynically re- fused to admit the five arrested leaders to bail. After a fight, le. when bail was finally forced from | another judge, each of the defend- ants were burdened with a ie of $12,500 each, of which total |less workers demanding 00 | wages. was for the misdemeanor charge and $10,000 for a trumped up charge of. assault against a policeman who was The contrast for itself; Immediate bail of $10, 000 for the brother of Magistrate Flood indicted for manslaughter in not really , injured.

The committee goes on trial | Monday in the Special Sessions court, the unfairness of which none know better than the needle workers of this city. The needle workers will form a group in the Coliseum meeting, with their own banners and slogans. There will be a membership meet- ing of the furriers right after work Thursday in Irving Plaza Hall, 15th St. and Irving Place. LECTURE ON NAVY MEET.

The new bank merger, which is part of the recent wave of bank mergers thru- lout the country, will be known as the Chase National Bank.

The speakers were J. Louis Engdahl, general secretary of the I. L. D.; M. | jJ. Olgin, editor of the “Preiheit”; | and Herbert Newton, of the Amer-} ican Negro Labor Congress. Defense and release of the lead- ers of the unemployed delegation was the central slogan of the meet- ing. A resolution, unanimously adopted, says, in part: “The Paris Commune, destroyed | |by cannon and gunfire of the bour- geoisie, was the forerunner of the | |successful proletarian revolution in | Russia. It has become the symbol and inspiration and lesson to tens |of millions of workers in all parts | |of the world. ly “The increasing attacks of the) employers and their government | now definitely develops into a. vi- cious nation-wide onslaught with the clearly intended object of seek- ing to smash all working class struggle organizations, and thus at- |tempt to paralyze the resistance, and gag the discontent of the whole | working class. |" “This whole situation creates the| \gravest threat to the whole work- | jing class.
