Bedacht pointed out that the place of Hillquit in the ranks of the capi- taliss enemies of the Soviet Union was not strange, as some of the members of the socialist party stat- | ed, but altogether to be expected} since as part of the enemies of the wi ing class he qould only be found in company with the rest of s of the workers. Because the dangerous, situation that the has created for the ene! of now comes out openly Soviet Union | for the former oil by the ey fields who rl w s and peasants.

These people have charged that Hillquit’s acting for the ex-oil owners against the workers and peasants of the Soviet Union was against the principles of the socialist party and the Second International. Darcy pointed hat Hillquit’s action was no different that of Abramovitz whose attacks against the Soviet Union had heen run in the socialist weekly, the New Leader, out from and not one of the Sotialists had raised a whisper of protest at the| time. Obermeier of the Food Workers Union, pointed out in his testimony that it was a socialist lawyer, a col- league of Hillquit, who had obtained the injunction for the market Steve Katovis was murdered by Tammany policeman last year. showed further that the that have been obtained against the militant food workers have been ob- tained by members of the bosses’ party of which Hillquit is the na- tional chairman Betrayed Worker Clients. The other witness Louis Hyman, of the Needle Trades Industrial Union, Nessin of the Unemployed Council, Salzman of the Interna- tional Workers Order, clearly exposed the bosses part that Hillquit and his party have played in the betrayal of the workers in the shops and in the fraternal organizations, and the op- pression of the unemployed workers who have been evicted by such so- ists as Panken of New York and the socialist officialdom of Reading and Milwaukee, Hyman’s story showed that Hillquit as a lawyer for workers’ organizations had been guil- ty of such betrayal and robbery of ie clients that the dirtiest Tam- any lawyer would not have been guilty of.
