Guilty! = Of What!

y
1T is not generally understood that the
number Of political and industrial prison
ers in the United States, sentenced merely
for expression Of opinion or membership
in an organization, has been STEADILY
INCREASING There are more convictions
now under state and local laws than there
were under federal law
This quotation is from review issued
by the American Civil Liberties Union.
Many people have thought of the political
prosecutions as an affair of war and the
Espionage Act The fact is that prosecu-
tions of this character are not Of the war,
but of the class war
The Espionage prosecutions, by the
federal government, for the most part,
were only veiled form of attack against
the spokesmen of the working class In
''peace," as in war, the same use of the
governmental power goes ON. Capitalism
defends itself, through government, like
every past system Of privilege and op-
preston, by the attempt to throttle the
ideas and the inspiration Of action against
it by the oppressed class.
Criminal Syndicalism."
Now the prosecutions are being carried
on primarily by the states, under "crim-
inal syndicalisln" and like laws All that
!, is needed for conviction and long imprison-
ment under these laws is proof Of loyalty
to the working class and belief that new
system must replace capitalism. Such has
been the result of the trials in New York,
New jersey California, Illinois, etc. An
other big conspiracy" trial occurs short
ly at Chicago; IS members Of the Com
munist Party were indicted in january
about 25 are about to be tried. The Com
munist Labor conspiracy" case, with 20
sentenced to prison, is in process Of appeal

Of What!
Trials and appeals are pending in New
York, New Jersey, in other states
Deportation.
The deportation hurricane-the attempt
to bully the fallen" proletarians into
craven submissiveness- abated. We
have won most Of the cases, but the bills
are not paid. Thousands of dollars must
be repaid to those who loaned every penny
in the hour Of crisis. There are urgent
cases Of family relief, Of those deported
and Of those in jail Funds are needed to
pay for bail The working class has no
property to use forbail; this can only be
secured by payment of fees.
New deportation cases, not by the humid
reds but in the less dramatic way of two
and threes, or one at time, are coming
up constantly.
The Workers Fight
There is no place to look for defense and
relief funds except to the working class.
This is the workers fight, and everyone
now knows it. There is practically no help
from the liberals" Nor is there any
working class organization now in shape
to handle the situation. Particularly the
Communists, since the raids, have been
unable to take care Of themselves No
matter how much or how little you know
about Communism; no matter how much
you agree or disagree; e;-you know that this
is one phase of the class war into which
you as worker are thrust, no matter
what you think about it, You either help
those who meet the front-li shock OF this
Fighter you desert!

Bridgeport High
 After Champions
Aims to Beat East Green wich For Southern New /
 England Title

Bridgeport High school football eleven is now attempting to obtain the championship of Southern New England and this will come by becom- ing master of all the teams in Con- necticut and Rhode Island. The Red and Black is now conceded to be the best school eleven in Connecticut for all the school teams with the excep- ton of Crosby of Waterbury and Derby have declined to book a game with them.
 The strong East Greenwich eleven, recognized as the champions of Rhode Island, have been. scheduled to meet the Hilltop pigskin 'chasers on Nov. 20 at Newf1e1d park for the champion ship of Rhode Island and Connecti- cut. The Red and Black athletes aim to beat the Rhode Island team and by so doing will grab the honors of Southern New England champions.
 There is some talk in High school circles of another game with the St. Johns team of Danvers, Mass. Whether this can be brought about or not Is a problem, but the local ath- letes would like another game to get a chance to avenge the defeat of two weeks ago.
 Visions of winning the champions ship of the Northeast were shattere when the St. Johns team, one of the strong gest elevens in the Northeast came to Bridgeport and handed the Red and Black a facing on their owr cid. Since then the locals have beer making an effort to regain it's los honors.

TAD'S TID-BITS
Loesome Bennah Leonard.

New York, Nov. 1O-Was there ever a guy as lonesome as our lightweight champion, Benny Leonard? Maybe you can think of some one, we can't. Just think of a little 1855 pounder with no playmates. Never in the history of thel lightweight division was a boy so far out of his class. Maybe Cans, near the close of his career, was lone- some, but he had Nelson coming. Here's Leonard without a boy in the world of his weight worthy of a bat tie with him.
 We hear that Willie Jackson is thinking of taking on Benny. He's just THINKING, that's all. They tried to get Jackson to fight Leonard for the Red Cross benefit here two years ago ard Willie almost died with fright. We heard later he wouldn't agree to go into the ring with Benny unless the champion agreed not to get MAD.
 Benny did agree to hit easy and ii was such a miserable six-round bout that the fans razzed 1t from start to finish.
 Do you think that Jackson haf changed his mind in the meantime What. Can't hear you.
 Fans at the Jackson-Fftzsimmon thing the other night wondered if the pair were FIRST GLASS LIGHT weights.
 Where would they have been five years ago with the boys we had then such as K. Brown, Tommy Murphy Bert Reyes, Ad Wolgast, Leach Cr@s and Tony Bender?

BASEBALL PEACE
 MEETING FRIDAY
Owners of 16 Major League Clubs Will Try to Settle
 Differences

Kansas City, Nov. 11-war clouds last night were vanishing from the major league baseball horizon, with indications favoring an amicab1e set clement when the bel1igerent major leaguers meet in a joint session. in Chicago on Friday to effect a peace pact. The National Association of Minor Leagues. after listening to both sides, voted to help avoid war by agreeing to appoint a committee to act with the major leagues int de- vising a plan for baseball reorganiza- tion.
 The sixteen club owners of the two warning leagues agreed ito meet in the same room in Chicago and attempt to adjust their differences without the aid of any outsiders. It was agreeu tend this meeting and that both Ban Johnson, president of the American League, and John 'HeydleMr, presi- dent Of the National, as we'll as law. yers. stenographers and others who have participated in recent sessions, leaders pointed out that If lawyers are excluded so that no Technical nuestions' could be raised the threatened war cloud could be quickly settled.
 The agreement to make a desperate last minute attempt to avert a base. ball war came at a meeting of the directors of the American League to- day, and was one of the results of conferences between owners of the rival major league factions. The peace news was announced in dra- matic fashion in the middle of an address which August Hermann, owner of the Cincinnati Nationals, was delivering to the minor league delegates.

|, (By International News Service) {, Chicago, Nov. 10-No reduction iD Ethe price of diamonds is in prospect. This is the official word cab1ed to this fcountry by L. Breitmeyer, head of the fLondon Diamond Syndicate. MT EBreitmeyer said the Diamond Syndi- hcate's policy has always been to main tain prices, and it has no intention ot Edeparting from it's rule.
 The London Diamond Syndicate is kthe selling end of the De Beers Con EsoHdated Mines, Ltd, which controls tpractically all the mines of South Africa, the source of 9S per cent. of ffhe worlds diamonds.

There is nc lappeal from its decisions. Dealers smust buy at it's prices or go without kdfamonds. It has steadily advanced sthe price of diamonds since 1896. Ii Ebusness depression or money scarcity yreduces the demand for the gems the hsyndfcate, instead of readjusting 1t: Eprices. curtails the output of the knfnes.

HATFIETzD'S CARD
 SHOWS JUDGMENT
Program of Boxing at Casi-
 no Monday Night Is r Liked By Followers N

Matchmaker Dan Hatfield of the East End Athletic club has arranged an interesting boxing program for the Casino on Monday night and it prom ises to attract more than the ordi- nary interest in the fight game. Louis Bogash will make his first appearance in the local ring since his great send off in New York and he will be op- posed to Red Allen of Brooklyn. This will be a 12-round setto.
 For the semi-final he has matched up Billy Prince of the Hollow and Joe Hall of the Acorns. Followers of the boxing game in this city will no doubt be attracted by this match because both boys are willing work CTS and good mixers. Hall is a boy of action and the same is true of Prince so the fans should be pleased with their coming together.
 In the preliminary Patsy Bogash, who will soon earn the name of Knockout Patsy, will attempt to rock Young Levinsky, who is Steady Stead mans sparring partner, in a ten-round go. The opening number will bring Jimmy Jackson and Young Hogan to- get her.
