J., came up to the office of the Daily Worker, These wounds and clothes covered with huge splotclies of blood testi- fied to the brutal beating that Brown had received at the hands of the police of Bayonne whom he had approached for a permit to hold a march and demonstration for relief for the unemployed. Together with representatives of the Rentpayers & Taxpayers’ Pro- tective Ass'n. with whom a united front fro the demonstration had been established Brown went to the police headquarters on Monday morning with a written request for a permit. After waiting a little while they were called into a room where 5 burly men faced them. Instantly questions were fired at them: “Whats your name, where do you live, where do you work?” Two of the commit- tee were shoved out and Brown was left with the five men including the chief of police, O'Neill. O'Neill im- mediately started to push Brown around and beat him up. “Then the Jeader of the unemployed was taken upstairs to be fingerprinted and Photographed for the Rogues Gal- lery. On the way up a slip w-s pushed into his hand with the words “Wanted for Murder” on it. An at- tempt was being.made to frame him for killing a man and a woman in Indiana. Brown demanded a lawyer and for doing so was punched in the face. While this vicious treatment of the worker was taking place hte “public” hearing onthe budget at City Hall was ‘being prepared. The Officials of this Standard Oil town were out. to keep the leader of the jobless from smashing their plan to put across the biggest budget Bayonne has seen without any relic? for the starving workers. The Donohue administra- tion has been deceiving the workers by saying that there are only 5,000 out of work. But there really are 12,000 jobless in this small city of 86,000 total population and the ac- tivity of the Unemployed Council has struck deep’ roots, The plot to keep Brown ‘away was admitted by the Bayonne Times of Tuesday. ‘Thrown into a basement cell Brown was held in solitary confinement for 72 hours. For the first 24 hours he received no food or water. The food on the other two days amounted to two undrinkable cups of coffee and two rolls with a slice of bologna in each. Tuesday at mid-night, Brown suddenly heard the cries of anguish, of agony and pain of John Kasper. Kasper had come to inquire about the arrest of Brown on Monday eve- ning. He also was arrested without warrant and for no cause. Kasper is still in bed with severe internal injufies. ORDER NOW! “Who Are the Young Communists” 24 PAGES The New Y.C.L.

TO THE DAILY WORKER ON ITS Discussion EIGHTH ANNIVERSARY At 1 a. m. three cops without jackets entered Brown's cell and proceeded to beat him for about ten minutes with brass knuckles, bare fists and blackjacks. When they left there was a pool of blood in the cell which grew larger for 4 hours. Two jobless workers who were spending the night in the jail managed to get some water on bloody handkerchiefs and applied them to the wounds. Through the excellent efforts ci the I. L. D. a habeas corpus hearing was obtained for both workers and the case quashed. Nevertheless Brown was taken back to the cell and held to Thursday morning with only some Listerine mouth wash as medical attention. Without a leader, Bayonne work- ers and poor home owners took part in the greatest demonstration the city has ever seen. At the meeting in front of City Hall, M. Tomash of the Unemployed Councils of New York was arrested and is still held on $2,500 bail. Although the judge when releas- ing Brown, battered with a possible broken rib and other injuries warned him “Leave the town at once. We don’t ‘Want such as you around here,” the anger of the masses will be expressed at a huge meeting in Bayonne during the week end. Al- ready one meeting has been held at the Vroom School auditorium, which was packed to capacity.
