F. of L. Following the attack made by Green on Louis Weinstock, because the latter testified before the Senate Judiciary Sub-Committee against the Bl Bill, Weinstock, together with 26 other members, has been placed or es by District Council No, 9 officials, | Weinstock, during his nded Unemployment nd immediate relief for the unem- ployed, and at the same tii t duced a namendment to the Bill which specified a minimum and contained the provision that re- duction in the working day or week must not be accompanied by any reduction in wages. Eyade Charges Closely linked with the expulsion drive directed against the progre: elements among the rank and file, is the general policy of the board, ey acterized im the 499 resolution, as follows: | “The G. E. B. in the last three years not enly made no proposals on how to keep the membership in the Brotherhood, but they have done everything in their power to suspend the local unions and suspend mem~- bers for non-payment of dues.” Other reasons given fer the offi- cials’ attempt to postpone the con- vention are contained in the follow- ing paragraph: “The Brotherhood ... in the last three years lost more than 50 per cent of its membership. .. . The treasury of the G. BE. B. on Janu- ary 1, 1930, had a balance of $755,- | 042.94; the balance on October 1, 1932, was $290,901.” The appalling loss in membership is contrasted with the “organization~ al” expenses for which the “G. E. B. paid to the general organizers from January 1, 1930, to October 1, 1932,, $467,128.96.” One Faker to ‘Another Confirmation of these reasons, ac- tuating the officials for postponing the convention, is to be found in a letter sent to the District Council 9 by Herbert Morrison, secretary of Distriet Council No, 26 of Columbus, Ohio, and one of the General Execu- tive Boatd members. “Locally we are very much divided,” states his letter in part. “The radical element is for the Assembly, regard- less of the cost, in order to depose | the present General Office force; tse | | more conservative, members, of which | I am one, believe that the General Office, with some exceptions, is doing | the best it can, considering the | times.” This jetter was sent to Shapiro— one faker to another faker. I won-| der what the Columbus membership has to say about this, cominented a yank and file member. Officials Call Cops That the police found in huge numbers in front of the District Council 9 headquarters, when paint- ers came to demand a fair trial for) the members under charges, were called by the Council officials, is evi~ denced in the District Council min- utes of February 9. This section of | the minutes reads as follows: “Communication in the form of @ resolution from Local Union 499, also the press report in the Daily Worker, in which Louis Weinstock, Local Union 499, is mentioned. The following is a quotation from the press (Daily Worker, February 1, | 1933) commenting on the so-called meeting under the auspices of Local} | Union 499, which was brought to the attention of the D, C., after which the communication was filed: “‘An outburst of enthusiastic response developed when the idea was brought out that a demonstra-_ tion be held before the District | Council on the day of the trial.’ | “It was left in the hands of the | Secretary avd Trustees to take pre- | cautionary measures to protect the dignity of the tenancy of the Broth- erhood of Painters in the building.” Obyiously, the only way the corrupt officjaldom can maintain “dignity” | in the face of the indignant member- sship is by calling police to act against the rank and file, Stage and Screen “THE BIG DRIVE” AT THE | CAMEO THEATRE “The Big Drive,” the first compila- tion of suppressed official films of eight nations, is now playing at the Cameo Theatre.

Broun, who himself has openly stated his enmity to the Negro peo~ ple, now questions the advisability of exposing himself completely by re~ maining on 2 committee packed with those who, like himself, discriminate against Negroes and carry out the dictates of the white ruling class. The Amsterdam News, Negro paper of Harlem, publishes in the Feb. 15 issue, the following reasons Broun gives for his growing unsteadiness: (1) That the NAACP should not at- tempt to sponsor the uiry as Dr. Louis T.

Six detectives had stood around him. Questions were flung him from all sides | during the grilling last July in an| effort to confuse him and force him | to admit a crime he never committed. For 18 hours he was under the con- stant questioning of the police. At the beginning of the afternoon session the present Commander of | the American Legion Post 33, of which Weinstein is a member, John J, Kier-; man, and the past Commander, A. J. Gross, testified to the excellent char- | acter of Weinstein, and praised him] . Dayid Bloom, landlord of the| house where Weins and his sister) lived at the time of the assault, said} that though he didn’t like either!

Frank again tried to raise a “red ery” in the court, but was cut short by the effective remonstrations of Brodsky. M. A. Dzik, attorney, of 347 Madi- son Avenue, put the testimony of a candy store owner, who said he saw Weinstein run from the scene of the attack, to naught when he listed the obstructions of trees, lamp posts, fire hydrants, elevated structure and posts which made a view impossible from across the street. He also tes- tifled that it takes more than an hour to go to Brooklyn from that section of the Bronx, which showed the impossibility of Weinstein having been there. ‘The defense rested its case yester- low do you know Mr. how you re- day, but the trial continues today) with the prosecution summing up.
