WINITSKY Freed
after LONG War
IN N. Y. COURTS
Governor Smith Ends
Case With Pardon
(speclaI 70 ''The Daily Worker"l

Especial to "The Daily Worker")
NEW YORK.-Harry M, Whit
sky, Business Manager of the Fret
heit, New York Jewish Communist
Daily, was granted pardon Jan.
7th, by Governor Smith of New
York, after the Appellate Court Of
New York State had upheld his
conviction on charge of criminal
anarchy.
Harry Winitsky was convicted in
the spring of 1920 on the charge
of violating the Criminal Anarchy
law Of the State of New York. He
was charged with helping to organ
ize and being a member of the
Communist Party Of America, dur
ing the fall of 1919, and sentenced
to serve from five to ten years in
New York State prison.
Pending Since 1922.
After two years in Sing Sing,
Dannemora and Comstock prisons
in New York State, Winitsky was
finally granted bail pending appeal
to the higher course in the spring
Of 1922. The case has been pending
in the Appellate Division since that
time.
Upon taking Office at the begin
ming Of 1923, Governor Smith par
doned all of the Communists
charged with Criminal Anarchy in
New York State prison, but this
pardon did not extend to the cases
of Harry Winitsl1y and Benjamin
Gitlow, altho pardons could have
been secured in these cases if the
court proceedings had been dropped.
The defendants, however, with the
concurrence Of the National Defense
Committee, decided to further test
the Criminal Anarchy law in the
courts before accepting pardon.
The WinitsBy case was decided
about two weeks ago and the sem
tence affirmed, and Governor Smith
has now extended a pardon to him
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1924-01-14

as in all the other Criminal An
archy cases.
The case Of Benjamin Gitlow is
now pending in the United States
Supreme Court, where a decision is
expected within the next few weeks.
Gitlow Case Important.
The Gitlow case is Of national
Importance In that there is involved
in It an issue which will test every
Criminal Anarchy and Criminal
Syndicalism law on the statute
books Of this country. The defense
contends in this case that to punish
the utterances Of doctrines or be-
lief without any relationship to the
circumstances or the possibilities Of
some one acting upon the utter
ances, is unconstitutional. This con-
tention is along the lines Of the
decisions Of the Supreme Court in
all cases during the war period, The
court having held that unless there
was imminent danger of some overt
act resulting from the utterances
Of a doctrine, that such doctrine
was not punishable.
II the court follows its own de-
cisions, it will have to declare the
New York Criminal Anarchy law
unconstitutional and with il some
3 other laws Of a similar character.
That the Supreme Court is puz-
zled by what to do about the Git
low case is indicated by the fact
that the case was heard in April
Of last year, and after arguments
and briefs were submitted, the court
restored 1t to the calendar and
asked for new arguments which
were submitted in November Of this
year.

or SHOE WORKERS
BRINGING UNITY
Consolidation Results in
Biggest Shoe Union
BY FEDERATED PRESS

HAVERHlLL, Mass,--The consol
idation of the Shoe Workers. Pro-
tective union and the United Shoe
Workers of America make the S.
w P. U. the largest shoe workers
organization in the country. A COM
mittee is also negotiating with the
Amalgamated Shoe Workers Of
America and it is expected that they
will come in, in the very near flu
ture.
The S. W. P. U. with general
Offices at Haverhill and organiza-
tons in Boston, Lynn, Beverly,
Wakefield, and Marblehead, Mass,
ano Williamsport, N. Y, has about
e members. The u. S. w. Of
A. Sns locals in Rochester, N. Y.
st. Louis, Lynn, Newburyport, an
other New England cities as weR
as Chicago, Cincinnati, San Fran
cisco and many smaller PAGES.
In 1920 the joint council of the
S. w. P. u. created a committee
for the purpose Of finding a method
whereby the shoe workers could be
united, and after meeting represen-
tatives of other bodies a conference
of New England shoe workers was
established, sponsored by the lasters'
union of Lynn, local of the u. S.
w. Of A. This conference broke
down after a few months, due to
different ideas as to what kind Of
organization should be established.
Then a second conference was in
stituted by the National Cutters
council. But at the October, 1921.
convention a constitution was adop-
ted declaring for a policy of arbi-
tration and Cancellation and the S.
W. P. U. and some locals of the
u. S. w. of A. would not accept
it, so that the effort at that time
proved a failure.
The S. w. P. U. is the Oldest
shoe workers organization in the
country, having been established by
the turn shoe-workers about 1888.
IN 1916 the cutters were admitted
to membership and from that time
until 1919 the various parts Of the
industry were organizing in Havcr-
hill and joining the S. w. P. u.
In 1921 the Allied Shoe Workers of
Hsverhill, a small organization Of
the making room employees, Joined.
Some of the Haverhill factories are
controlled by the Boot and Shoe
Workers union, A. F. of L.
The S. w. p. U. has also organ
lied the three classes of workers
who make the wooden heels. 1t also
has the workers who make the wood
and paper boxes in which the shoes
are packed as we'll as the Transfers
and Jumpers who handle the lumber
out of which the heels and boxes
are made.

even take refuge behind closed doors.
They must face an astonished public,
astonished that even the oily lackey
of the Oil Trust, Charles Evans
Hughes, should risk the exposure Of
his chicanery without even scrap of
paper to cover his political nakedness.
The gross receipts of radical book
stores thruout the country have sud-
denly mounted as the result of the
army of government agents which has
been turned loose under Hughes or
der to bring in some evidence, dead or
alive, that would save him from land
ing on the vaudeville stage as the
biggest political joke of the decade.
But even Department of Justice
agents are obliged to laugh at the
raising the red flag over the White
House" letter out of court.
Ex-Federal Agent Robert ]. Brani-
gan of New York, once an active stool
pigeon in the ranks of the Communist
Party, admitted in a statement pub
lished in the New York World of Jan.
9Th, that "The idea of the Communist
Party of America engaging in shoot

XII KLUXERS' GUN
R UL { IN HERRIN
is UNCHALLENGED
Khan Private Detective
Leads Raiders

MARION, ul.-The Klu Klux Khan
rules Williamson County by force and
violence, Only the presence of State
troops called in by the anti-klan fac
tion prevents civil war. The Federal
forces under the direction of the
Treasury Department have given the
lead to the Khan under the direction
of which the raids on bootleggers
were carried out.
Intense excitement prevails in
Herrin, Not since the hectic days of
May, 1922, when the scabs in the
strip mine precipitated a riot was
public feeling so outraged as when
the fomenters of race hatred and
religious discord plunged this county
into anarchy.
The smoke from burning cottages
reminds one of the early days of
Fascist activity in Italy, before the
black shirt brigade marched on
Rome. Thoughtful people here see in
this Ku Klux Khan, Prohibition. anti
foreign and anti-labor combination
the advance guard of Fascism in
America.
Khan Flouts Law.
The Ku Klux Khan refuses to dis
arm, yet William j. Burns does not
ask for a Federal appropriation to
save the government. Law and or
der is fiouted by the leaders of the
Invisible Empire, yet the jails do not
open their doors for the lawbreakers.
Sam Stearns, exalted Cyelop of the
Khan, is in open conflict with Sheriff
Galligan, elected by the miners of
Williamson County after the Herrin
riot. The Sheriff represents law and
order" Adiustant General Black, who
came under the fire of the Illinois
Chamber of Commerce because of his
favorable attitude toward the Herr1n
miners after the affair of his at the
strip mine, is here in charge of the
state militia. He arrived at the re-
quest of Sheriff Galligan. The Ku
Klux Klan and the prohibition agents
who are in league with the Khan want
to get rid of Black and his forces.
The Sheriff is willing that the latter
should leave provided the Khan chief
agrees to disarm his army.
Majority of Arms Rule.
This, Stems refuses to do believing
that the faction that can flash the
greatest number of artillery pieces
stands the best chance of victory in
a democratic country. A peace con-
ference between the Khan chief and
the Sheriff resulted in a draw. Both
sides talked with their fingers on the
triggers of their guns.
Sheriff Galligan charges the fed
eral authorities and their Khan allies
with having abused women and chill
dren in making the Ids apd also
with having looted the homes Of citi-
zens. This the Khan denies of course.
Glenn Young, private detective for
the Khan, is also leader of the prohi-
bition raiders.
The sixth house to go up in smoke
during the week was a roadhouse
between Marion and Herrin.
Most of those arrested in the raids
are foreigners. The dictatorship of
the Khan is believed by some to be
a sequel to the Herrin affair with the
anti-union elements in combination
with the religious maniacs and mine
owners who have not forgiven the
Herrin miners for their former vic
tory. .sAN4.

Mere Babies Put to Work.
NEW YORK.-Children two and
three years Of age are put to work
by parents who take work to their
homes, The idea that home work is
the mainstay Of widows Is not borne
out by the facts. Conditions among
home workers are as bad today as
they were 10 or 10 years ago. Goods
that later sell for high prices in the
city's best stores are worked on in
homes for starvation wages, No
home workers make more than $500
year in spite of the fact that whole
families assist in the work. People
suffering from all sorts of diseases
do home work.
These facts were testified to be-
fore the New York Child Welfare
Commission during hearing held in
City Hall. The Commission was

to abolish home industries.
