DAILY WORKER, NEW YORK, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 12, 1934 Page 5 ‘CHANGE wear!) =e WORLD! By MICHAEL GOLD AST week a former ambulance chaser named Silas B. Axtell, counsel and spokesman for the Seaman’s Union, broadcast an appeal to marine workers to disregard the strike call of the Marine Workers Industrial Union. He wants them to arbitrate with the American Steamship Owners Association, and of course Mr. Axtell will represent the seamen | at the arbitration proceedings. Axtell has had twenty years of experience betraying the interests | tempt to of American seamen. In 1910 he started practice as an attorney for | the seaman's branch of the Legal Aid Society. In his six years of practice there, he made valuable connections with racketeering union officials. Later, in 1916, he branched out in business for himself and developed the largest ambulance chasing practice in accident cases to American seamen. At the time of his disbarment his income approached six figures and he had 890 cases on file in his office. A Bar Association Report 1930 Axtell was charged by the Bar Association with betrayal of seamen client’s interests in receiving money belonging to seamen and not paying it over to them, in hiring union officials to get accident cases for him, or in other words, ambulance chasing, and in adver- tising and soliciting cases in violation of the Code of Ethics, In May, 1980, Axtel was convicted by the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court and disbarred from practicing law. A perusal of the official record of the disbarment proceeding against Axtell as reported in volume 220, page 323, of the official reports of the Appellate Division, exposes Axtell as a racketeering shyster. To quote part of the opinion of Judge Dowling: “The natural result of his experience with the Legal Aid Society was his specializing in a practice having to do with seamen. He was employed as attorney for sailors’ associations and was on regular retainer for different seamen’s unions, These organizations were the source of considerable business for respondent (Axtel), There is testimony that officers thereof were active in the recommendations of cases to respondent. There is also testimony that union representatives were using their union comnec- tions as a cloak under cover of which to pursue investigations on behalf of respondent (Axtel) in some of his cases.” The record shows that Axtell paid various sums of money to such officials as William Maher, Secretary of Associated Marine Work- ers; Oscar Carleson, Secretary of Marine Fireman’s Union; David E. Grange, Secretary, and Clarence H. Angles, Asst. Secretary of Marine Cooks and Stewards Association; and union delegates Rasmussen and Bley. A Master Shyster . LTHOUGH ambulance chasing for seamen’s cases was common practice, none of the shyster lawyers had the business ability of Axtell, He organized this racket along big business lines. He set up homes at Staten Island and elsewhere to keep injured seamen whose cases he had, deducting of course the charge for board and lodging as well as 40 per cent retainer from whatever’ verdict of settle- ment he obtained. Nor did Axtell rely entirely upon his union connections for busi- ness. He organized the Seafarers’ Thrift & Protective Cooperation, furnished it with funds and office, and his employees to be its officials. Axtell was its counsel and Vice President. Judge Dowling in referring to this outfit, in his opinion, commented as follows: “That this organ- ization was intended entirely for the betterment of seamen is doubt- ful. It is clear that respondent (Axtell) made use of it as a medium for contact with prospective clients. It is clear that this organization as well as the seamen’s union served as sources through which respondent (Axtell) obtained information concerning accidents in connection with the operation of ships.” A big business cannot be carried on without advertising. Ad- vertising, however, is prohibited to lawyers by the Code of Ethics. Axtell was not to be daunted by a little code. He started an organ for his Seafarers’ Thrift & Protective Cooperation, Inc. called “Wind- lass.” The second issue of “Windlass” carried four photographs of his office with a glorifying biography of himself and referred to the great. record of the “House of Axtell.” Axtell had this magazine sent to places like the Marine Hospitals, Red Cross Society, and other places where seamen would be likely to see it, so that if oen of them was almost burned to death on a “Morro Castle,” he would think of Axtell and retain him as his attorney. Private Cops 1O deceive poor seamen Axtell created his own private police force as part of his Seafarers’ Thrift & Protective Cooperation. The Court's opinion of this was as follows: “Respondent’s (Axtell) activi- ties following the receipt of such information are described at length in the record. As part of the paraphernalia of its emissaries and agents they wore a badge suggested by respondent (Axtell), carrying the title “Patrolman” with an eagle and the seal of the state of New York bearing some resemblance to a police officer's badge, which would have been quite effective if used to impress seamen from whom respondent's agents wanted to get information about accidents on their ship, but the efficiency of which as a means of preaching a gospel of thrift among them is not indicated.” (To be continued tomorrow) * * .

Readers of The New Masses will remember that Brooks, close in the confidences of Senators and Congressmen, was shown to be the son of Col, Edwin Emerson, notorious Hitler agent, who first organized the anti-Semitic movement on a national scale in the United States. I had just been informed by The New Mass@s. that a letter from Brooks had arrived.

Mr. Brooks isn’t here just now, but he asked jyou to call him at the Racquet Club.” I had never been to Washington's Racquet Club. I had heard a lot about it. I knew that Kurt G.

Olgin (Continued from yesterday's issue) “Most characteristic is the fact that the principles of proletarian Internationalism have penetrated not only the workers but also the collective-farm life. People are divided not according to national characteristics but according to labor. In the majority of cases there exists full unity of ail the collective farmers irrespective of nationality or origin. With us in- ternationalism is not only a theory but a@ living reality. The influence of religion has been considerably undermined both among the Jewish and non-Jewish collective farmers. “Take for instance the following fact. There is not a single Jewish collective farmer who does not raise @ pig for the purpose of having a sufficiency of meat and fats for himself and his family. It is a fact that the Jews have learned from their own practice the ad- vantages of pig-raising. Every one who visited our collective farms had a chance to see the toiling Jewish women who, in high boots, with their skirts tucked in, work in the field or in the yard side by side with the White-Russian women and who have completely mastered agricultural labor. There was a time not so long ago when many Jewish women, members of the col- lective farm, didn’t even know how to milk a cow.” The question was raised as to the existence of national animosity or its remnants among the Jews and non-Jews of White Russia. Com- rade Goloded said: National Antagonism Gone “From the foregoing it is ob- vious that there is no nationai antagonism. It does not exist in the collective farms, less so among the workers. It is in the factory that national antagonisms are fully and quickly overcome both among the Jews, the White Russians, and the Poles. There are sporadic = Pe et the ‘holy’ crowd attempts to fan national animosities, but these at- tempts are rapidly liquidated ana the breach is healed by the masses themselves, and the miserable, cow- ardly perpretators hide in the bushes. “The machine in the factory, combined with the correct class Policy of the government has united the Jew, the White Russian, the Pole, tne Great-Russian into one agricultural and industrial col- lective body.” The interview was approaching its completion when one of the |journalists asked a question ob- ‘viously dictated by animosity |towards the Jews. | “In your experience, have you \not noticed that the Jewish popula- tion is less fit for industrial labor than the non-Jewish?” And further: “Are the Jews as good a fighting material for the Red Army as the non-Jews?” A shadow of displeasure passed over the fine face of the President of the Council of People’s Commis- sars. He smiled with a trace of disdain. Jews and Industrial Labor “To tell you the truth,” he said, It is a fact that the Jews (outside oi the Jewish bourgeoisie) occupied themselves with productive labor for decades and centuries, like any j other nationality. Even before the Revolution, the majority of the Jewish population in the cities of White Russia consisted of black- smiths, turners, shoemakers, wagon- |makers, carpenters, road-builders, \etc, There were many Jews in the factories and planis. That the Jews are fit for industrial labor is witnessed by the fact that we have a@ great many Jewish workers that have been awarded the Order of the Labor Banner both in White “these questions seem funny to us./ Whi S..R. We have among the Jews excellent metal workers, machinists, fliers, navigators, a great number of shock brigaders who are leading others in mastering production. This kind of question would sce! ‘too ridiculous not only to our lead- {ing workers, but to every school child of any nationality in our | country. | “No less ridiculous is the ques- |tion about the Jews and the Red | Army.
