Hasse was picked up by a couple of hold-up men who forced him'to drive to the Mendoza Fur Dyeing Co. where they stuck up the cashier. On the way out policemen began to fire at the hold-up men, and though Hasse had his hands in the air, and er had a gun, the cops walked p to this worker and shot him dead. ief Cossack Mulrooney, who de- lights in rounding up hundreds of unemployed workers to give the im- pression of feverish raids against gangsters, so that the big gangsters allied with the police can go scott free, is trying to cover up the open and cold-blooded murder of Hasse. One ess declared in his affi- davit heard a woman in the crowd pleading with a uniformed Policeman and a detective to get medical aid for the driver.” And the detective answered: “Why don’t you sneak off to Russia, and mind your own b s How Hasse was harrassed by both the police and gangsti who seemed do be acting togeth is told in an- other affidavit: This witness says: “I saw another man in the back of the same cab with his gun pointed at the head of the driver.” (Hasse) He goes on to state “I saw the driver (at the end of the chase) holding both hands in the air as he sat in the front Fake War On Gangs seat I saw a uniformed policeman standing to one side of the driver aim and fire at him. I did not see the driver with a gun.” Another witness states: “What they did do to Hasse who was in the toughest spot of his life, was plain murder!” And so the story about how police, who are in league with the gang- sters, speakeasy joints, dope-peddlers and grafters, and share their booty, deliberately murder workers in order to get a “record” in the capitalist press and appear as “heroes.” Taxi drivers when confronted by & fare, according to the law, cannot refuse, and when they get a gun stuck at the back of their head can- not refuse to drive on. The police in this case walked right up to Hasse and shot him down like they shoot unemployed workers down and just as they have deliberately killed *hun- dreds of other workers, The taxi-drivers association, which is sympathetic to the Mulrooney- Walker murder regime, are making a howl about the event, not because they worry about a few taxi-drivers being murdered, but because it's hurting business. When police go around just killing off innocent workers because they are caught in a jam between two sets of bandits, it makes it unsafe to drive in taxis and the bosses lose out. The Transport Workers Industrial League calls upon the taxt-drivers to protest against this murder- ous deed of the police—the bosses’ police who deliberately murder strik- ing and unemployed workers and now go to the extent of killing work- ers engaged on their job.

The bosses are preparing to insti- tute further wage cuts in 8: and to put the weay on six looms. The UTW-Associaied realize that the workers will révolt bitterly at this at- | tack and are preparing the ground to nislead the workers, At the meeting the officials wil! probably try to get the workers to vote on some back to work scheme either through a change in the de- mands or a complete sell out.
