Fears Exposure of Part in Bronx Graft NEW YORK, April —Joseph Weiner, thug, gunman, burglar and shake-down artist who, with Tamma- | ny protection, has operated the Kosh-| er live poultry racket in the teen is missing. Police are pretending to be looking for him. Meanwhile five men are staying in jail, refusing bonds, because they fear if they are turned onto the streets or sent home, they will be murdered by some of. the racketeers associated | with burglar Weiner in the Orthodox | Poultry Slauzhterers Association. | Jewish Rabbis in Racket. | The racket conducted by the cri-| minals associated with Weiner affects | only the orthodox Jewish trade, in| which the rabbis get a rake-off for contributing to make the stuff “ko-| sher,” or conforming to the Jewish orthodox dietary laws. Unless certain rules are observed the poultry cannot be sold. The ob- ject of the racket is to establish mon- | opely prices thereby forcing the con- sumers to pay higher prices which are split with the gangsters and, of course with their Tammany partners who protect all such rackets. Long List of Murders. In carrying on the racket many pro- prietors of Jewish markets have been murdered for resisting the demands of the “organization.” As early as 1914, Barnett Baff, a West Washington Market poultr dealer, was shot and killed in a price- fixing war. Joseph Cohen, leader in the market was killed in a similar | fashion a year ago this month. Today Harry Baff, a son of the | slain Barnett Baff and three of his| } partners, Hyman Blank, Samuel| Shipper and Samuel Weiner (no re- lation to Joseph Weiner) are in jail} refusing bail because they are in fear| of their lives. The night watchman at the market y these men is also in, jail he is slated to be put “on the spot the racketeers because he saw seven of them bomb the place on AD-| ril 6th. 2 | W.LR.

Leibowitz Confused Issues The letter pointed out that while Mr. Leibowitz’ reiteration that he is not a Communist was quite correct, ng on the fact that he is a a member of the party other Democrat, which in the South is the most de- termined uphoider of the “system of id degradation for the Negro eople and the white workers, seri- ously confuses the issues involved in the Scottsboro case. Similarly, his lending himself to the Tammany political ballyhoo at) | Arcadia Hall, Patterson points out in his letter, is directly contrary to Mr. Leibowitz’ statement that he would not make political capital of his par- ticipation in the defense. Both Democratic and Republican | organizations, Patterson said, are bus ily at work attempting to form “ne defense organizations,” the sole pur- | pose of which, in view of the affilia- tions of these groups, can be to divert the pressure of mass opinion which alone can save the Scottsboro boy from death. Criticizes Statements Criticism was also directed in the | “bigots.” ‘In lumping them have unwittingly together you played into the Patterson said. Leibowitz’ eulogizing of Judge Hor- ton was termed “unfortunate” in the letter of Patterson, and his apology to the South, in his summation at the trial, for having demanded that Attorney General Thomas E.

Russia the sec- ond nation in oil and on the way to surpass the U.S. And all this within 12 years, fighting the packs of inter- nal and foreign enemies at the same time! How much more impressive do these figures become when we com- pare the picture they make with what is going on in the most powerful cap- italist country in the world. Ninety- nine per cent of the Russian works are electrified. There are 58,000 workers in these oil works, while in America tens of thousands of them are out on the streets and roads. There are numerous oil fields in Pennsylvania and other states where not a bubble of oil is stirring. Just a few strings of tools working in other places whereas two or three years ago the fields were swarming. Drillers used to get ten and twelve dollars a day and tool dressers, their helpers, a couple of dollars less. Now most of them are out of work and those working are lucky to get three dollars, But in Pussia workers who had to work 12 -ad 16 hours for three roubles a monta, now get 130 roubles | Working for seven hours a day.

Here is Ali Mardan, a Turkish worker, 67 years old. When he was a mere child, he had to start working in the Nobel oil works. In| 1905 he went out on strike for aj shorter working day and higher | wages. After the revolution he is appointed inspector of the oil wor! ers. He is rewarded with the title of Hero of Labor.. And side by side with this grey-haired old man is the | little Misha Lobanov, nine years old, | also working for the Five-Year Plan and a Socialist Society. Misha is a Young Pioneer, And his story shows how differently chiidren are brought up in the Russia of today from the way they were brought, up before the Revolution. The child is no longer a bud in which capitalism can shove in its cutworm so that it will have to rot away for capitalism's good. ‘The child from the moment he can understand things is helped to de- velop into an individual who feels that his first star is “socialist mu- tual responsibility.” He too becomes a fighter for the new society.

The double ‘plot is interwoven. The oid commander, @ybakon, whose heroic exnloits in the war are the background of the story, is the one to discover a plot ': the great ship yards managed by his friend, which has been hindering the complsticn cf 21 important ship.
