White was handed over to the lynchers by a| deputy sheriff. The Negro’s body, riddled with bul-} lets, was found in a thicket.

Levitt, another worker, was so sev-| erely beaten, that he received lacer-| ations of the skull, eye and cheek. He is near collapse as a result of the beating. He told of how he grabbed at a cop's sleeve and asked protec. tion against the gangsters, but was answered with a blow by the cop which left him unconscious. “Happy” Cohen was responsible for this beat- ing. “In the lobby,” says Greenblatt, another worker, “I found Levitt un- conscious, his face bruised, and mouth I carried him out to the nearest hospital.” All this occurred before the meet- ing. The meeting opened and closed with praises for Zausner by the other machine, The settlement which is supposed to provide $9 a day and a 35-hour-week was railroaded through without dis- | cussion, The announcement of a set- tlement, however, is a lie.

Pipe Makers Strike for Increased Pay NEW YORK,—The workers of the L. & H. Stern Co., 160 strong, have been on strike for two weeks for rec- increase in wages. Other demands are additional increases, equal divi- sion of work and no discrimination against strikers, The strike is 100 per cent solid, even the foremen being out. The fighting spirit of the workers, among whom there are a number of young Porto Rican men and women, is strong, due to all the wage-cuts they have suffered at the hands of their bosses.

Y.— “The Show's all over. Get goin’!” With billies poised, a small army of burly “defenders of the law” jammed men, women and children away from the barricaded home of an unemployed worker and his pregnant wife who were defying an eviction edict. “The show's all over.” a loaf of bread, a chest of drawers,¢- were piled onto the sidewalk to join, company with another eviction on the opposite side of the same street. The setting was 14th St. near the tiver, No. 615, The home was that of Clarence and Molly Roth. The other | evicted family lived at No. 628, Mrs. | Olga Vanza, widowed mother of three children, aged 13, 11 and 6, explained that the landlord would not take the, check of the Home Relief Bureau, and that they gave her “$5 a week to/| feed her family.” For nearly two hours, police and marshals tried to break in the bar- ricaded windows, tantalizing them; with a display of the Constitution of ; the United States, an American Flag, and underneath it all a poster with large red lettering, “My New Deal.” | The sign calls upon the workers not | to let the marshals throw him out, “to face the winter without a home.” Four hundred workers lined the streets in protest. They booed. They yelled, and showed their fists. The | speakers of the Unemployed Council expressed the indignation and senti- ments of workers who expect to be the next in line. The crowd was dispersed again and again. And again they reconvened. With anger in their eyes, they watched the marshals break in the| door and smash the windows, but still unable to enter the apartment. bar- ricaded with boards, beds, and iron bed posts. t and emergency squads, the “1 with four husky movers, four police scout cars, carrying radio | announcers, gave the ‘atmosphere a martial aspect.

They smashed win- dows with sledge hammers; dragged the poor crippled furniture into the But the few scanty belongings a bed, a spring, streets, and forced Clarence Roth, Harry Forbes, his friend, who is to be | evicted today, and another friend, Al- jlen, into the Black Maria, charged them with disorderly conduct, resist- ing a dispossess warrant, and forcing the police to destroy property. They | were taken to 22d St. police precinct. Clarence and Molly Roth have been evicted three times, and they know the red tape they must go through before they can get another well place to live in. Formerly they lived at 11th St. and Avenue A. They were evirted because Clarence Roth could not get a job. He is a statistician and has been unemployed for the past year and a half. They moved to 10th St. and, after living there for three months, were again evicted. This time the marshals ripped up their furni- ture, smashed everything they had, so |that their few belongings were only worthy to serve as kindling wood. Living at No, 615 for exactly three months, they were 20 days late with the rent, because the Home Relief |Bureau would not give them the check until the eviction threat. Even when the check was finally forthcom- ing, the landlady refused to accept it, knowing that the Home Relief Buro checks are likely to be stopped any time. While she might get paid for ‘the first months rent, still the second months rent is never guaranteed. The Unemployed Council and the 14th St. Block Committee is taking steps to carry the slogans of Clarence Roth into effect. “We refuse to let the marshal break up our home. Stop this evic- tion! Keep the marshal off 14th St.! And any other street! Workers dont let them throw us into the streets to face the winter without a home! You might be the next one! Down with the eviction laws!” amongst the miners present and many expressed discontent. He also praised Pinchot, Roosevelt and the N.R.A., but received little response from the miners, The capitalist press is trying to demoralize the strike by raising the fake issue of division among the Fay- ette County miners on the question of returning October 2. But they are forced to admit that a substantial part are firm in their determination to strike until the Frick Coke Co, recognizes the miners’ demand, The rising tide of the struggle was expressed when coal miners marched on the Carnegie Steel Mill at Clair- ton. Though weakly. organized, the march had an effect of striking fear into the hearts of the steel and coal barons. One of the most imposing ar- rays of armed force was mobilized instantly against the miners. The striking miners are more de- termined than ever to mobilize throughout the striking area and es- pecially in the coke region for a march of thousands on the steel mills of Pittsburgh, area, expecting at least 10,000 marchers, encouraging the steel workers to join the strike. ‘Ihe march is planned for the end of this week. Strike sentiment is growing inside the steel mills, which is increasing due to the strike which broke out to- day at Weirton. The Steel and Metal Workers In- dustrial Union issued a statement ex- pressing full support to any move of the steel workers and willingness to co-operate with the strike leaders to bring about an effective strike front in_coal and steel. The National Miners Union {s sup- porting the strike and is helping to give consciousness to the movement. The N.M.U. is also making pro- posals to the Uniontown Conference on Saturday, issuing @ leaflet for the ‘shop think abows the “Dally.” unless we win all our demands!” coal fields with a full program of action. Nn City Faces Payroll Default As It Pays, Banks $30,000,000 Untermyer Confers With Bankers on New Taxes, |W. age Cuts NEW YORK, Sept. 27.—The City has to meet a $25,000,000 pay- roll on October 1. it also has to eee to it that the Rockefeiler banks get their $30,000,000 int>:est and loan payments. According to the latest reports the city will pay the bankers their money, and then plead for another loan to pay off the city civil ser- viee workers. Last night the conference with the bankers, at which Governor Lehman and leading representa- tives from the Wall Street Rocke- feller-Morgan banks were present, had not come to any conclusion, The subject of new taxes, wage cuts, and increased subway fare is receiving increasing prominence in the discussion, it was reported. Judge Seabury denounced the plan to run McKee as a “trick” to defeat LaGuardia, Seabury de- clared that the “credit of the city” had to be preserved. Charge Against Grubin Unfounded; His Work Praised The Sept. 8 issue of the “Daily” carried a statement purporting to come from the Workers Interna- tional Relief that M. Grubin pre- sented in the Soviet Union forged papers as a member of the WIR. and that complaints have been made by workers that “Grubin hes stolen funds and is an unhealthy element.” The “Daily” was informed by the W.LR. that at no time did they is- sue such a statement, nor did the organization at any time make the Grubin which appeared in the news item of Sept. charges against M. 8 issue of the “Daily.” M.

Labor Conciliatory John Moffit, was| booed several times in a speech be-| fore the workers of the company union of the Textile Dye Company | yesterday in which he attacked the | National Textile Union and urged) those present to accept the sell-out agreement of the U.T.W. leaders and | go back to work. The agreement Was negotiated by Schweitzer and/ Keller of the Associated Silk Work- | ers and grants not a single wage demand to the workers. It was re- jected yesterday by the rank and file dyers. The President of this Company Union (which is called the Textile Employers Association), John Zwacki, today attempted to deny that he is in the employ of the Textile Dye Co. Rumors had appeared in the press that he was on their payroll. Zwacki admitted that he has been working together with the U.T.W. leaders since the strike began. He said: “Since the strike began, the Textile Employers Association has acted in concert with the U.T.W.” Now his company union is to be officially turned into a separate local of the U.T.W.,. it was announced. Stanly Matazaras and Bordenera Vincenza were held on $250 bail by Recorder Harry Joelson, who is also Attorney for the U.T.W., this morn- ing. He gave the strikers a lecture against “rioting” and then turned them over to the criminal courts. The two strikers grabbed off the picket line yesterday in front of the Degrado shop were taken inside the mill yesterday and badly beaten by bl cops, while the bosses looked Matazaras was clubbed and aieed later in the police station.

Hudson, National Secretary of the union, will speak. Longshoremen on the North River docks should attend this meeting, the Marine Union urges, as. an effective warning to Joseph P. Ryan and the officials of the In- ternational Longshoremen’s Asso- ciation that the longshoremen want the return of the 1932 wage cut and other demands of the rank and file code.

The) 9, GPORT Shinnying Shindigs ILAGPOLE sitting as a sport has definitely gone the way of mah-jong, F. Scott Fitzgerald and the Republican Party. Shipwreck Kelly, its foremost exponent, is reputed to be going the rounds of marathon dance contests along with that other | establisher of world records, Nurmi’s conqueror, Joie Ray. Last I heard of Kelly, these marathons (for which our Page Six columnist is admittedly a sucker) have been trans- forming him to look more and more like his nickname. I had occasion to view the lad in At- lantic City aid am naturally resent- ful at his failure to realize my pre- diction that he will go far. As a matter of fact he has gone far but! My | not in the indicated direction. informant states, in less witty terms, that this member-in-good-standing of the MacPherson-Hutton-Huey Long school resembles an object no self-respecting alley cat would drag in. The late and unlamented flag-pole sitting has been superseded by a far moré provocative, useful and refresh- ing sport. Hitherto a sporadic prac- tice, this diversion has evolved a technique which has rendered it a popular favorite. Possibilities of de- velopment, to cop a phrase from the even more late and even less lamented Jimmy Walker, are limitless. I do not chcose to regard it as a tad. Both physical exertions and hazards involved qualify it for ‘in- clusion in a sports column. If this is encroachment, make the best of it. Pek aS A hurd nothing new about shin- nying. You have shinnied, I, too, have shinnied. You may even have shinnied up flagpoles. Then all this is old stuff. But did you ever shinny up the flagpole of your local city hall and hoist a red flag with “Hands Off ” lettered on it? That is the ac- complishment of a skilled New York devotee of the sport, the first of the current crop to achieve prominence. On the morning of‘ the discovery, the city fathers were gathering for a conclave. Several formed in a group under the mast. “Yi,” said a Borough President. “Szent isten!” said a Hungarian alderman. Nobody could get it down. The shin- nier had cut the rope; the mast was too expensive to saw. Firemen with ladders failed. Reporters reported and photographers photographed, then newsboys came around selling the papers. “Hands Off Cuba,” read the crowd. Finally the sixth patrolman to try, got it down. He had to shinny up. Pr ae ND the very next afternoon the scarlet banner floated over, Yankee Stadium, this one without inscription. There was another commotion, The World-Telegram reporter came and mingled with the guessing crowd. “A Bolshevik plot to kidnap Lefty Gomez?” “Colonel Ruppert scarlatina?” “Ruth has the measles?” It turned out to be a signal to people outside the stadium that the Yanks lost the second game of the day's double-header. This is just an ineident and not strictly shinnying. Not nearly as nqtable professionally as for instance yesterday's Chicago shindig. There a few enterprising comrades took over the German Con- sulate Building on Michigan Boule- vard and in the dead of night replaced the swastika with a red flag, nine laid up with foot sq! inscribed “Demonstrate Against ism Here on Thursday, 12:30 noon.” They hoisted the banner, cut the Tope and greased the pole on the way down. This time not one of the three hundred, machine gun- equipped police who were massed to prevent the demonstration, could turn the trick. Only a few days before, two women | with signs announcing the demon- stration had handcuffed themselves to @ lamppost in front of the consulate and the same cops spent an hour and a half to saw them free. The greased pole’s banner flut- tered for nine hours before they could remove it. This is grade A shinnying and if its vernetrator will send his mame and address, I undertake to present him with my next two week's salary as a gesture of recognition. The sum will ‘keep him in chewing gum money for days. Ready to.

Striking Tailors Are Driven from Offices of the Amalgamated NEW YORK.—Custom tailors on strike for two weeks, led by the Needle Trades Union, learned today that a number of shops which have been struck are sending their work to con= tractors signed up with the Amalga- mated Clothing Workers Union, This gives the lie to the statement pub- lished by Hillman recently in the Italian perss, that he had nothing to do with the cuS8tom tailors’ strike and wished the strikers well, Today his duplicity was again re- vealed when a delegation of strikers went to the office of the Amalga~- mated Clothing Workers and re- quested an interview with Hillman on the question of the scab work be- ing done by contractors in ACW shops. The delegation was driven out of the Amalgamated offices. I. L. D. Lawyer Tells of Clash With Nazis (Continued from Page 1) Nazis had placed around the in- nocent Communist defendants. Among those whom Levinson called upon personally was William E. Dodd, U. S. Ambassador to Ger- many who “unofficially” expressed “great sympathy” toward the de- fendants onthe two occasions dur- ing which the I. L, D. lawyer called upon him, Following out every “helpful” sug- gestion of the government officials, Levinson even talked with Hamf- staengel, Adolf Hitler’s publicity man, whom he reached by phone in the “Brown House” in Munich. Hamfstaengel told him to get in touch with the Supreme Court in Leipzig. « Having written to the Supreme Court only to be told that he must first get permission of the Nazi- appointed counsel, Dr, Teichert be- fore he could aid in the defense, Levinson communicated with Teich- ert and was told that the latter could do nothing without express permission from the Supreme Court. Dr, Teichert, Levinson declared, at all times acted more like an agent of the Nazi prosecution than as'a de- fender of his Bulgarian “clients.” Given the Run-around Levinson was shunted from one place to another, with the Nazi offi- cials at all times maintaining the pretense that the granting of per- mission to Levinson was not outside the realms of possibility. Forced to the wall by a bluntly- worded letter from Levinson in which the latter changed that the buck was being passed between the Su- preme Court and the Nazi-appointed lawyer, Dr, Teichert (after ingen- uously denying that the fact that Levinson was a Jew had anythin: to do with the situation) finally de clared that inasmuch as there hac been so many applications from for- eign lawyers to participate in the de- fense, that he would give his consent only to a Bulgarian: Warned to Remain Away That this is an obvious Levinson pointed out yesterday, seen from the fact that Dr. Teichert had previously refused to sanction the participation in the defense of Detcheff, a Bulgarian lawyer prac- ticing in Paris—who was the first to come on the scene.
