DETROIT, Feb. 15—Peter Miller, young unemployed on Thursday Feb. the corner of Riopelle and Davi- son, had been threatened with death Often arrested for his several days before his murder a number of his comrades that on one occasion the police told him: “Miller, if you don't stop going PETER MILLER around with those Bolsheviks, we'll blow your brains out.” On another occasion he was given a terrific: beating in the Wayne County jail. He told how he was put in a room with 25 detectives, who were then told: “See this fellow, he is a Com- munist organizer. He goes around with white people—take a good look at him.” On the morning of the day he was murdered he was in court together with a number of other workers, Ne- ro and white, arrested when police raided and broke up an inter-racial @ance. After his trial Feb. 9, he went to North Detroit to see some friends and to tell them he had been released. Late that afternoon he was murdered and his body “discovered” by detectives. The boss press has been absolutely silent on the mur- der. The police are doing everything to “hush it up.” As a result of the growing indignation of the masses, the police now claim they are holding a certain “Joe Brown,” who they say has “confessed” to the murder. No Such person as Joe Brown has been located by the International Labor Defense.

Motors, Chrysler | Withdrew Their Funds DETROIT, Feb. 15.—With a billion jand a half dollars in deposits through- | jout the state tied up and busin at ja standstill, the Detroit Clearing House last night took steps to provide | funds for salvaging the bigger busi- ness houses with which they are con |nected by providing that $25,000,000 be available for withdrawal from the |banks. They announced that deposi- | tors would be permitted to withdraw | |5 per cent of their deposits immedi! | | ately. | Many workers have been paid with | checks on the Detroit and other Michigan banks which are useless be- cause they cannot be cashed. Many are buying up these checks |at big discounts, sometimes as much jas 50 per cent and will cash them |later, when the banks reopen. | | It is generally estimated that re-| organization will take place on the | basis of 75 cents on the dollar. | | Governor Comstock, retracted his charges that the Ford Motor Corp. refused to cooperate with Chrysler | Corp. and General Motors in sustain- | \ing the Union Guardian Trust Co., owned by the Guardian Detroit | Union, He announced that he learn- | jed that neither General Motors nor } Chrysler had deposits in the banks at/| the time of their closing. In this connection one of the big- gest steals in the history of banking in the United States was pulled off jin the past weeks when the big guns of the General Motors and Chrysler gang withdrew their deposits and transferred them to New York banks, leaving the mass of depositors hold- jing the bag. It is reported that Ford | did not act quickly enough to full off |the same stunt. It was Ford's in- sistence that his deposits receive priority over other deposits that re- | sulted in the eight-day moratorium | declaration of Governor Comstock. It is also known the Roy D. Chapin, jone of the outstanding heads of the Briggs Motor Body corporation, and | now secretary of commerce in Hoover's | cabinet, was involved in the swindle, | that shielded General Motors and Chrysler at the expense of the other depositors who will stand a twenty- | five per cent loss in the reorganization if present plans are carried out. The indignation of the workers at being paid in worthless checks has resulted in General Motors, Crysler and Ford announcing that they would meet the payrolls in cash, instead of checks and that they would maks good the checks now outstanding. They fear another wave of strikes that might have far-reaching con- sequences.

Weinstein Witnesses Tell Truth On the other hand, witnesses who | testi fied in behalf of Weinstein could | not be shaken by the prosecuting at- | d been an old employe | torney who tried to bewilder them {with long drawn out and irrelevant questions. Among them, Jack Harris, organizer of the strike, Rose Sands, member of the Workers International Relief, who iid volunt cooking and picketing n the strike, and Harry Grienehouse. chairman of the picket committee testified that they saw Weinstein at jthe strike headquarters at the very hour when the a: ult took place in the Bronx, more than an hour away | by subway. Prosecutor Drags In Communism In his attempt to shake the testi- mony of the witnesses for Weinstein | nd to prejudice the jury against them, the prosecuting attorney re- peatedly tried to link up their ac- tivities in the strike with the Com- munist Party. Brodsky strenuously | objected to these tactics and his ob- jections forced Judge Croake, presid- ing over the trial, to rule out such | questions. Harry Grinehouse gave the startl- ing testimony that when Weissglass first appeared at the strike head- quarters to identify his assailant he had pointed to a sign-painter who was there at that time. This sign painter was arrested, but released, and | Weinstein then was taken out of the picket line without having at first been identified by Weissglass. Wein- stein was obviously framed because jhe led the strike. A vicious article on the Weinstein case was published by the Socialist Jewish Daily Forward yesterday. The | Forward praises the prosecuting at- torney, also Harry Weissglass, eee while it attacks Weinstein for |his having enlisted in the army dur- | ing the world war, and actually tries | to ridicule him for having become class-conscious. While making a hero of a scab and tool of the bosses who is prosecuting a worker, the Forward tries to prejudice its readers against Brodsky, loyal defender of arrested workers, by branding him as a Com- munist leader. All workers, especially war veterans, are urged to assemble at Tremont | and Third Ave. this Thursday at 9:30 in the morning to march to the Bronx County Court. The frame-up of Weinstein reeks with the same tactics by the bosses jwhich were used to send Sacco and Vanzetti to the electric chair. |Protest Meeting In Brooklyn for Griffin NEW YORK.—A mass in protest against the framed-up charge of manslaughter held against Griffin, a Negro worker, will be held this Thursday, Feb. 16, at the Pisgah Baptist Church of Christ at 25 Johnson Ave., Brooklyn, by the Walter R.
