Red 'Propaganda Riots' in Wall St'
NEW YORK. Fri.—Judge Frederick Hacltenburg said toclay that “outsiders" joined the pickets in the recent New York Stock Exchange strike under the orders of a foreign Government.
He gave John Flynn, a member of the Seafarers’ International Union, a suspended sentence of one year's imprisonment on an assault charge.
Flynn was one of a number of pickets arrested during the disturbances in Wall Street in March.
The judge said the seamen joined the regular Wall Strqct workers on the picket lines “under compulsion" and added: “This compulsion did not come from within the territory of the United States, but was dictated by a foreign Government, which, under the guise of ideology, tried to start trouble so that it can publish in Moscow “Riots in Wall Street.”
