FACTORIES OPEN,
BUSINESS BOOMS,
LOOK FOR JOKER

Especial to The Daily Worker)
SOUTH BEND, Ind, Sept. 1e.-
No stone is being left unturned to
fool the workers into voting for
strikebreakers, Calvin Coolidge and
Charles G. Dawes, by big business
here. Even the factories that have
been shut for months are opening
up and some of them are already
going full force. The oliver Pillow
works that have been working with
much reduced staff for many
months is taking on men. The Stu
debaker plant is running full force
now and really have job to start
Sunday night there.
In the past, presidential election
year brought a slowing down of bus
mess and laying off of men because
business interests were sitting tight
until they know who would run the
show.
But different conditions, different
tactics. A ballot in the hands of
workers out of work for months,
some for years, is a dangerous weap-
on against capitalism, especially
around election day. Something
must be done quick. So cooked up
prosperity buzzes around!

SEEK REVERSAL In MICHIGAN CASE

your analysis Of history is correct.
We agree that change to a soviet
form Of government and to a dictator
ship Of the proletariat must involve
force, violence and bloodshed. And
we say, therefore, that since you de-
sire this change in government, with
the realization of what is involved in
bringing it about, you now desire and
advocate the force, violence and
bloodshed which must accompany
such change! The court thereupon in
vites the jury to follow this same line
Of reasoning.
"But this is not debate. 1t is a
criminal trial for felony, involving the
drastic penalties Of the statute.
Whether the Communists are right or
wrong in their forecast Of what is 60
ing to happen in. the future is en-
tirely beside the point. The question
under the statute is as to what is hap
pening now. Is any person or any So
ciety now advocating acts which the
jury can say are acts of sabotage, acts
of violence, or acts Of terrorism? All
of the bloodshed which any one may
foresee in the future cannot take the
place Of what is plainly called for by
the statute: present advocacy of GRIM
inal acts. It was highly prejudicial
error for the court to substitute an
exercise of deductive logic for the
plain test provided by the statute"
Argument in October.
Oral argument before the Michigan
Supreme Court in the Ruthenberg case
will take place SOME time during the
month Of October and 1t is expected
that the Court will render a decision
in November or December.

FOSTERS PLEA
Paterson Workers Jan,
Hall in Rally
Especial to the Daily worksr.)


PATERSON, Sept. 18.-The
biggest political rally of workers
ever held in Paterson took place
Saturday night, Sept. Is, at
HaIvatia Hall, when William z.
Foster reached this city on his
campaign tour. The hall was
filled early and over 1000 work.
ers jammed every corner of the
hall, enthusiastically greeted
and appIauded the Communist
candidate for President.
Foster vigorously attacked
the Defense Day of the capital
lists as a preparation for new
wars. His speech was in the
main, an aggressive expose Of
the entire system of wage
slavery. He pilloried Coolidge,
Davis and LaFollette as staunch
supporters of private property
and the wage system unworthy
of the support of the workers.
"He who supports Coolidge,
Davis and LaFollette," declared
Foster, "scabs on the workers
cause"
Reference to Soviet Russia and the
DAILY WORKER were roundly ap-
plauded by the audience.
Injunction Made to Be Broken.
Foster gave special attention to the
issue of the injunction which the
Paterson silk strikers now face. He
unequivocably declared that the work
ers must defeat this effort of the
bosses to destroy their strike. "Such
laws and injunctions which deny the
civil rights of the workers are made
to be broken"
William w. Weinstone, as chair
man of the meeting and first speaker,
made a strong appeal for the DAILY
WORKER as the only organ fighting
Tor labor, secured 20 new subscribers
md also made collection Of $104.O0.
Considering that the workers are on
Itrike in Paterson, this is splendid
response to the appeal of the Work
srs part. An appeal for signing up
petitions to put the candidates on the
ticket brought out string of citizens
who gladly signed up for the Work
srs Party candidates. Comrades and
workers who have long been asso-
dated with the socialist movement
here say that this meeting was one
Vt the most memorable held in Pater-
on.

their children live-or rather, stay

while our own children starve.
Outlook Dark For Workers.
The miners here owe five months
house rent and large store accounts
with winter coming on and the mer-
chants are beginning to squeal saying
that they will have to close their
doors in very short time. The out
look is not very bright for a working
man with family of five or six young
children to feed.
OF course, we don't expect anything
from our present officials at the head

at least $4,000 signatures. The gath
ering Of these signatures is tremen-
dous task and in order to accomplish
this job we must have every member
of the party participate in this work
whole heartedly. The party has 5000
members in New York City and if
each and every member procured 20
signatures apiece we would then have
$4,000 In all.
Two Days.
The district Executive Committee
and the campaign committee have set

Sept. 81, as Party Mobilization Days
and It is the duty of each and every
member Of the party to put every
thing else aside on these two days
and go out and collect signatures.
The Executive Committee has further
decided to excuse all comrades from
all other work on these two days so
that they can devote their full time
to this work exclusively.
Comrades on the Jobl Report to
the following headquarters on these
mobilization days for your petitions

in the due process Of law, to punish
as felony the mere act Of assembling
with an organization.
1.-THE startling novelty Of this case
ought to count heavily against the
constitutional validity Of the section.
1t might be said new problem gives
occasion for new exercise of public
power. The preaching of doctrines
of syndicalist character is not a
new problem. The doctrines of the
Communist Party, for instance, have
been universally advocated in practi-
cally their present form for three
quarters of century"
What Was Ruthenberg's Crime?
Further along the brief describes
the Crime" with which Ruthenberg
is charged as follows:
"There is no charge that the Com
munist Party with the connivance Of
of the respondent advocated criminal
syndicalism in this state or planned
to advocate criminal syndicalism in
this state and it is not charged that
the Communist Party, with the aid of
the respondent, was formed in this
state
1.-THE criminal act is, to use the ver-
nacular, on the wing. Today, the
Communist Party is stranger to the
state Of Michigan. Tomorrow the
Communist Party, by certain repre-
sentatives, comes inside the state
boundaries. 1t does not make the
least effort to teach criminal syndical-
ism to anyone in Michigan. No plan
is made to teach criminal syndicalism
in Michigan in the future. The next
day the Communist Party becomes
again stranger to this sovereignty.
That is the charge of felony upon
which the respondent Ruthenberg
faces the drastic penalties of the Grim
inal syndicalism statute"
Arguing that the trial court should
have directed an acquital, the brief
has this to say:
mo crime was committed at Bridge
man-unless the criminal syndicalism
statute is to be read in utter disre-
gard Of plain constitutional mandates
and elementary principles of our Grim
inal law. To no persons, property or
governmental body was there any
hurt or threat of hurt-as the Grim
inal law takes account of threats
by the gathering at Bridgeman."
The Communists and Force.
Dealing with the Communist views
that the class struggle in the future
will develop into struggle in which
force will be used and into civil war
the brief has this to say:
"The Communists say: We desire
a change in our government to the
soviet form, and from our reading of
the history of social changes of such
a drastic character, involving funda-
mental conflict of interests between
social classes, we believe
that the change in government which
we desire cannot eventually be con-
summated without a collision between
the social classes involving civil
war. In spite of our realization of
such an inevitable conflict of force
between the social classes, we still
insist that the this change in gov
eminent is desirable In answer to
this the prosecution says: For the
purposes of this prosecution we ac-
cept all that you say. We agree that
