Cap, whose leg was broken when a Fascist | gang attacked a Ukrainian workers mass meeting last night, was arrested in Babylon, L. I. today, according to Nicholas Tarnowsky, secretary of the nationa? executive committee of the United Ukrainian Toilers, ie Rae BABYLON, L. I., Sept. 17—Several workers were injured, two seriously, when 25 Fascist and church-goaded young people attacked and broke up & mass meeting called by the local United Ukrainian Toilers at the Ukrainian Labor Home last night. The injured were J. Cap, who suf- fered a broken leg, and another work- er, name not given, whose skull was fractured. Both injured are members of the organization ursler whose aus- | Pices the meeting was held. The meeting was originally called for 8 pm. to hear William Zazuliak, Detroit auto worker who was arrested | Seven months ago and sentenced to be | deported for his strike activities, He | Was kept in jail five ionths before the LL.D. aroused sufficient protest to have him freed on bail of $1,000 (reduced from $5,000). About 8:30, the first of the yo Fascists jumped up and shouted, “It this is a Ukrainian meeting, then where is the Ukrainian flag?” The chairman pointed out that, in keeping with the usual requirements, an American flag was on display. ‘The answer did not silence the young Fascists, who began to stamp on the floor with their shoes, making it almost impossible to hear the Speaker, Someone in the hall tried to stop them, whereupon the entire group jumped up, chairs in their hands. They began to swing about them, beginning the fight that ended in_the injuries to several workers. Perhaps three minutes afterward, 15 state troopers arrived, and singled out a few of those present for ques- tioning. But they left without arrest- ing any of the guilty group, advising the workers to “call the police next time.” Strike Relief Drive in New York Set for Sept. 18th to Oct. 7th NEW YORK.—To support the strike of over 40,000 workers in the metal, shoe, tobacco, furniture and cleaning and dyeing industries, the Workers International Relief of the New York district is opening a fi- nancial drive Sept. 18 to Oct, 7 f strike relief, =f izations to answer the | ground party : - AA MARN, WE CAN'T GET “THRY s ‘Evidence on Nazis’ ‘Clothing Factory | Reichstag Fire Given (Continued from Page 1) jower and influence with their fol-| lowers waning throughout the Win. ter?” The speaker then reported on the} consolidation and growth of the ii- Jegal German Communist Party, as/| gleaned from interviews with under- workers in Germany and refugees he had met in all the countries bordering on Germany. Wins declared that “never before has the German Communist Party en- joyed the confidence of the German working class to the degree that it does at the present time, working as it does under conditions of the great- est difficulty, with tens of thousands of its best members either murdered or imprisoned in the frightful Nazi concentration camps.” He added that thousands of Socialist workers, find- ing that their own party was doing nothing at all to combat the Fas- cist regime, were turning to the il- legal Communist Party for leadership and were playing heroic roles in the embittered struggle against Hitlerism. He cited instance after instance of the skill now displayed by the Ger- man Communists in foiling the Nazi police and spy system, saying that “the German Communists had built up what is probably the most effi- fient illegal machine ever possessed by any revolutionary party in the world.” Wins congluded with a reference to the actual technique of Communist activity in Germany today, adding that the “non-partisan workers are coming forward and volunteering to do their share in the work of build- ing up the united workers’ front that will smash Fascism in Germany for- ever.” After this eye-witness report on German conditions, Comrade Erna Stams, chairman of the German Bu- reau of the Communist Party of the United States, analyzes the Nazi claims of “reducing unemployment.” Speaking in German, she exposed the hollowness of the Nazi program of “Winter relief,” showing how total wages were declining in Germany. although the Hitlerites pretend that “more and more men are being put to work.” Comrad Stams then called upon the members of the audience to join in the work of the Anti-Fascist League, declaring that the Nazi prop- aganda in Yorkville, in the German heart of New York, was growing in insolence and extent day by day. She asked the German workers of New York to take the lead in turning out in thousands for the giant anti-Hitler demonstration on Wednesday, Sept. 20, at 7 pm, at 71st St., corner First Ave. Comrade Stams added that a huge demonstration would form at Seventh St. and Avenue A on Thurs- day, Sept. 21, at 10 am.,, the hour that the four Communist leaders are put on trial in Leipzig, marching in protest to the German Consulate- General as part of a world-wide pro- test against the impending judicial murder of Torgler, Dimitroff, Taneff and Popoff, the four Communists ac- cused of burning the Reichstag. C.A, Hathaway, editor of the “Daily Worker,” received with thunderous applause, followed Comrade Stams, with a lucid analysis of the lessons of the Hitler counter-revolution in Germany for the workers of the United States. Hathaway described Germany today as the “laboratory of the proletarian revolution,” where the gains of the revolutionary movement and those of the Fascist counter- revolution could be studied to advan- tage. He showed the consistent “democratic line” of the German So- cialist Party, which defended democ- racy and always supported the “lesser evil—Hindenburg to stop Hitler”; it dampened and hindered the revolu- tionary struggle, paving the way for Fascism. Turning to the United States, Hath- away showed the essentially Fascist trend of the NRA and Roosevelt's “New Deal,” describing how Norman Thomas welcomes the NRA as the “highroad to prosperity,” and as “state capitalism—the forerunner of Socialism.” He showed the similarity of Socialist policy and tactics all over the world. He pointed to Paul Blan- shard, noted Socialist, supporting the strikers for help and to make financial drive a success.

On Strike NEW YORE.—An announcement that the National Labor Board will arbitrate workers Sigmund Eisner Clothing Co. has brought out that members of the firm are outstand- ing officials in the National Recov- ninistration. The strike in ’s Red Bank, N. J., plant on since July 24, chairman of the N.R.A. in New Jersey is none other than Col- onel J. Lester Eisner, vice-president of the Eisner Clothing Co, Mark Eisner, another relative, is chairman of the local N.R.A. bureau of in pretations. The National Labor Board has wired to Mark Eisner to have a rep- resentative “appear before the board” today. The board will make efforts to mediate the strike, which is led by the Amalgamated Clothing Workers’ Union, Sydney Hiliman, president of the union, is a member of the Labor Board. “Both the boss and union president are members of the N.R.A. Undoubtedly both will find common ground for mediation to break the strike. The N.R.A. chief in New Jersey in the meantime got a Chancery Court order to hinder picketing. This re- sulted in the arrest of 97 pickets for contempt of court. Five of them have already been sentenced to jail terms ranging from 30 to 90 days. The remaining 82 will be up for trial on Sept. 28. Undoubtedly with Mark Wisner’s interpretation the firm has instituted a company union. It claims that 500 workers have already joined its or- ganization. According to Eisner they do not need “arbitration” as the strike is broken. ‘The Eisner firm is one of the larg- est manufacturers of uniforms in the country. It made the order of uni- forms for the 300,000 youths in the forced labor camps. The boy scouts’ uniforms are made by the same firm, Grover Whalen Slated to Go in NRA Shake-up NEW YORK.—That Grover Whalen is going to be eased out of his job as local head of the National Recoy- ery Administration was indicated with the ‘nnouncement that a permanent district board of the NRA for the tri-state area of New York, New Jer- sey and Connecticut is being set up. James F. Hodgson, district man- ager of the Department of Commerce and chairman of the board is direct- ing the establishment of the new or- ganization. Among those who are announced as serving with him is Nicholas Murray Butler, well known Republican jingoist. Grover Whalen’s name is not mentioned as a member of the Board and he is said to have declined an invitation to a recent meeting at which the board was or- ganized. At the same time Grover Whalen has announced that he will recom- mend a permanent machinery for the recovery administration in New York to General Johnson, Isabel Leighton, head of the women’s division of the NRA resigned on Thursday declaring that her work was now at an end. The steps being taken to allow Grover Whalen a graceful exit points to the fact that the Washington au- thorities of the NRA are heeding the flood of protests of the workers in New York against the open strike breaking policy of the hated ex-police commisisoner. cialist Party in the capitalist system. Hathaway concluded with an ap- peal to the German workers of New York to apply the lessons of what. hi happened in Germany to con- ditions here in America, and to take the lead in organizing the anti-Fa- scist front here in the United States. The collection, taken up after a stirring appeal by Erna Stems, to- talled $63.31, The meeting, conclud- ing with the singing of the Interna- tiolale, marked the beginning of the city-wide drive for mass participation in the giant anti-Fascist demonstra- tions Thursday evening and Friday morning, September 20 and 21. “Keepers Give Dope ‘to Island Prisoners” Says Mark Shahian | \U. S. Attorney Medalie | Gives Interview on Daily’s Expose By JOHN L. SPIVAK. Author of “Georgia Nigger” into the e S13) A federal investigation n sale of dope en V ; Worker’s expose of the brutal mu! | of James Maithews, the North Csro | lina Negro, battered to death prison keeper. George Z. Medalie, United Stat attorney, yesterday a&ked the Dai! Worker to arrange for him to inter- view Mark Shchian, witness to | he Matthews murder. An appoint- ment for the federal prosecutor to question Shahian will be made tod: as soon as Assistant District A torney Saul Price has finished ques- tioning the witness this morning. Medalie’s request came after Clar- | ence A. Hathaway, editor of the Deily | Worker called the attention of the federal authorities to Shahian’s state- ment in the effidavit that “They (Welfare Island prisoners) were the ‘house-gang’ prisoners who were al- most ell dope fiends and got on the ‘gang’ becauze they bought dope from | the kespers.” | “The Daily Worker,” Hathaway “believes that you would be ted in knowing of the dope. ring on Welfare Island and is call- ing your attention to this.” Mr. Sha- hian is available for questioning by you or the Federal Narcotic Bureau whenever you so inform us.” Medalie immediately replied: “I shall be pleased to have you send Mr. | Mark Shahian to this office so that | his statement can be taken and the matter looked into further. Will you | please advise me when he can be available?” Hathaway said that he would tele-| phone Medalie tcday and arrange an appcintment for Shahian to tell his story to Medalie. Medalie once before met with Tam- many opposition when he started an investigation into the open selling of dope on Welfare Island following a fatal riot two years ago.. Prisoners | themselves, knowing that they would still be in prison after the investiga- tion was over, were afraid to talk. Joseph Fishman, Deputy Commis- sioner of Correction, shortly after that riot and his own efforts to in- vestigate dope smuggling on the Island, frankly admitted that “pris- oners are afraid to talk for fear of what will happen to them if they ‘squeal.’ ” The open sale of dope in New York’s scandalous “School for Crime” has long been known both to city officials and the press. Dope selling has been the major cause of riots, bloodshed and crime on the Island, but every effort to get to the roots of it has been balked by prisoners who feare< to talk and guards who “don’t know nuttin’.” When a Daily Worker reporter visited Warden Henry O. Schleth on Correction Hospital, there were two bottles partly filled with narcotics on hhis desk. “These were stolen from the medi- cal department,” the warden ex- plained. “It was a relief to learn that they were stolen instead of smuggled in maybe by one of my own guards. Some guards, you know, are crooked.” When the federal investigation loomed, Assistant District Attorney Saul Price prepared to resume ques- tioning Shahian about the Matthews murder and then go to the Island \ to study official records he had for- gotten to examine before, during his alleged investigation. Price’s mem- ory, as shown in an interview he gave a Daily Worker reporter, is quite hazy on important aspects of the investigation. Yesterday a Daily Worker reporter checked on another one of his statements and found him inaccurate again. During the interview, Price was obviously trying to keép the name of Doctor Isidor Firschein of Coney Island Hospital, from becoming pub- lic. Dr. Firschein is the physician who first ordered Matthews trans- ferred to Correction Hospital, after the guard had battered him into un- consciousness. At first Price said he e didn’t know the name of the doctor; later, after repeated questioning, he recollected it and said that “some~ body had gotten in touch with him.” When the Daily Worker reporter asked Dr. Firschein who had gotten in touch with him the physician said: “Mr. Price called me. I do not re- member the date, but it was the day of the NRA parade.” Dr. Firschein apparently does not want to be involved in what prom- ises to be a nasty scandal, but why the district attorney should so pa- tently try to hide the physician’s name remains one of the minor mys- teries of his thorough “investigation.” Yet Mr. Price still feels hurt be- cause the Daily Worker calls his in- vestigation a farce. 8 (ED. NOTE:—Through an error the name of John L. Spivak, special Daily Worker reporter, covering the Welfare Island expose, was left off the story on Saturday.) Striking Plumbers at Fleer & Cohen’s Determined to Win NEW YORK.—The third week of the plumbers’ strike at the Fleer & Cohen shop, East Broadway, finds the workers prepared to con- tinue their struggle until they attain complete victory. Police interference, arrests and the bosses’ scab campaign has failed to bring a scab force, but it steeled the determination to win.

There were seven spectators in the stands and three crap shooters. So much for sta- tist Every once in a while a thunder- ing herd of helmeted hell-cats would stampede across the high-jump take- eff or run a scampering group of girl athletes to cover. Nobody mind- ed very-‘much. The meet, which was our main interest was run off by of- ficials with a professional touch and participants without any such taint. There were no spectocular perform- ances and no outstanding ones, I'm afraid. It was a swell meet, though. The girls’ high jump attracted probably the greatest number of the fickle gallery. This event was dom- inated by the Vesa A. C., under whose auspices the field day was held. With one exception, the girls were blonds of all shades, very energetic and full of what it takes. The sailors’ hopes, high at the outset, dwindled as the stick rose. There was one demon- strative screamy young thing who held their attention, but she was eliminated early. The remaining ones were pretty, but too business-like. ey * E snappy gal who invaded this Office last week to bawl me out for a column and whom I came to see lose, took second in the event and would probably have won if not for her defective spikes. Sh also placed high in anything else she cared to try and was running off with the hundred-yard dash when I left . Not only was she hopelessly good but her name was Alma, which is just about the sweetest tag there is. In the men’s high jump there was @ numerically impressive representa- tion from the Maples A. C., a Negro club. In competition the boys faded out early and left the positions to the more seasoned Finns whom they aplauded vigorously. The winner, Laughton, had a way of muttering a brief self-addressed pep talk on his approaches that apparently did the trick. He passed out at 5 ft. 6 in. The background for Miss Alma’s exploits was more or less dominated by the football contest between the Hawks and the Owls, two local sand- lot teams. The Hawks had equip- ment, the Owls didn’t. Relying on the nomenclature, we expected much aerial play but the young men con- fined themselves to end runs and line plunges of sufficient viciousness to suit a Roman gallery. Lavender- bellied Virgin Diana, how that bunch played. 4 You never saw anything like it. Every play ended in a pileup that swept the carrier a dozen feet along the wet ground. Sympathizers and linesmen mingled into the scrambles which lasted seconds after whistles. Pieces of helmets, sweaters and skin left in the wake of the hurricane. Bleeding all over the place. T's team with the uniforms lost, course, and huddled for the perfunctory losers’ cheer. I stopped the grim-visaged, tattered captain of C. P.
