The court martial Of the Second
Army Corps in Bucharest sentenced
our Comrade Dobrogeanu to ten years
of Imprisonment.
GREAT RRITAIN.-Also in this 30
called "peacefulT country the white
terror is at work. The court in elias
gov sentenced several comrades to
high fines because they had made
speeches without permission. In Bir-
mingham three comrades were sen,
fenced to Imprisonment because they
had appealed in an unemployed meet
ing to the workers-to conquer the po-
litical power. A London court sen
fenced Comrade T. A. Jackson to a
considerable fine because he had
given shelter to German communist
who stayed in England without per
mission.
GERMANY.-In Germany the mass
trials against revolutionary workers
continue. According to the statistics
of the Red Relief, the number of trials
fought by the Legal Committee of the
Red Relief increased to about $4,000,
in the time from the list of January to
the S1st of August 1924. In the months
June, July, and August a total number
of 1,7O0 comrades were sentenced to

Of the total amount of 1920 gold

Court in Leipzig alone Is trials

these 10 trials 104 years 6 months of
hard labor, AZ years 8 months of pri-
son, 5 years months of fortress and
fines of 10000 marks were given. In
the month of September eight further
trials take place before that court.

Review Of the White Terror in All Capitalist Countries

The murderer is member Of one OF
those murderers' organizations which
We're formed by zankoff specially for
this purpose. In the end of August
in Sofia the former secretary Of the
Bulgarian Communist Party, Samo-
kow, was murdered during the day in
hisroom. Comrade Samokowa had been
only recently released from prison
after having served for one year.
RUMANIA.-After the Communist
Party of Rumania has been pro
hibited, the bourgeoisie directs all its
attacks against the trade unions of
the workers. All union meetings are
attended by a police commissar. A
speaker who mentions a political
question in his speech is Immediately
arrested. In this way in the last week
of August eight workingmen and two
women were arrested in Bucharest. In
Braila 500 workers were arrested and
transported to Bucharest. In Bazargic,
Kichinew and Plosti all trade union
officials and all those were arrested
who had participated in trade union
meetings. In Arad, the industrial
center of Banat, Comrade Marguerite
Roth was arrested together with her
two children of six and eight years
and her mother, an old woman of
seventy years.

.NOMRADE Serafim Maximos, pic
~ tured above, a member of the
Executive Committee of the Com
munist Party of Greece, and delegate
from Greece to the Fifth Congress of
the Communist International, has been
arrested with other Greek Commun-
lists and imprisoned on the deserted
island of Skiros.
The bourgeois government of Greece
is conducting a bitter drive against
the Communists of Greece, the world
war veterans, who are under the direct
control of the Communist Party of
Greece, and against the organized
bodies of the General Confederation of
Labor. Many sections of the Con-
federation Of Labor are affiliated with
the Red International of Labor Unions
in Moscow.
During the last month the American
Tobacco company of Macedonia, in
league with the chamber of commerce
of Greece, ordered the Wholesale
arrest of the executive committees
of the various branches of the world
war veterans, which succeeded in
organizing most Of the world war
veterans on militant working class
basis.
Many members Of the Communist
Party OF Greece have been imprisoned
with Comrade Maximos.

commission has been appointed to
deal with the question what political
prisoners might be released on pro-
baton. According to a statement Of
the governmental organ "Politica"
there are about 5000 such prisoners
in Jugoslavia (soldiers, communists,
nationalist Macedonians, Monteneg-

Party has issued an appeal demand

The best proof that very little has

WASHINGTON, October 10. = Prof.
David Friday, familiar to national
conferences as an anti-labor and anti
farmer expert" economist, threatens
a lawsuit against A. H. Mulliken, boss
of the so-called Economics Institute,
which has been issuing propaganda
against the Howell-Barkley railroad
bill.
Friday is not sore because the
railroad labor bill is being attacked,
but because, Friday-has been
dropped unpaid from his $4,000 a
year part-time job as head of the
research council which was estab-
lished in the flush early days of the
concern, when it was known as the
Transportation Institute. This Trans
portation Institute was founded by
Bird M. Robinson, president of the
Short Line Railroad Assn and by
Sidney Anderson, former renegade
progressive congressman from Min
nesota, to help put the Esch-Cum-
Minis bill through congress and to
cut railroad wages. They hired DIR.
Friday and a lot of other show
window material, and spent a huge
fund, after which it was discovered
that no real research studies had
been carried to publication.
Began To Curse
When Robinson could furnish no
more cash, it is reported from inside
railroad circles, Mulliken, OF the rail
road supply firm of Pettibone-Mul-
liken, took the concern over, dis
missed Friday and his experts, and
turned the institute over to a new
crowd, centered around the supply
companies and the Santa Fe railroad

of his enterprise to the Economics

The meeting was opened by a 40
minute talk by the local socialist par
ty chairman. He quoted the Bible
often in support of his beliefs and
finally put on sale, "The Angels Mes
sage Of Socialism" founded, we were
assured, on the Bible.
Berger's talk was in two sections.
The first was an incoherent half-hour
yowl on his persecution under the
Espionage Act, which-and this mad
dened him-violated our sacred con-
stitution and American tradition.
Think of it!
The second half was long tale of
woe on the grating democrats and

American institutions are estab-

American labor requires to maintain
itself as self-respecting unit of
American society. An influx of cheap
labor is bound to undermine that stan
dard of living.
"South Europe, if permitted unre-

this country by millions, instead of
thousands, but / shudder to think
what it would do to this country by
