CLARENDON, Va. June 22.-A
shocking picture of conditions at the
Arlington County Jail was drawn by
Sheriff Howard B. Fields in an ap-
peal last night to the citizens for
action looking to the establishment
of a new structure.

accommodations for the ordinary run

because Of it's antiquated plumbing
and poor ventilation, Is a menace to
health and offers a fertile field for
the spread of disease.
There are now confined in the JAIL
according to the sheriff, 40 prisoners,
with sleeping accommodations for 81,
and the result is the prisoners have
to take relays at the cots crowded
into the cells.
Despite frequent appeals to the
Board of Supervisors and the citizens
of the county the sheriff said moth
ing definite has been done toward
relief of the conditions. About a year
ago, he said, the board started a
movement for q new JAIL going so
far as to have tentative plans drawn
for the structure. At that time an
advisory committee to the board was
formed to investigate the needs, but
interest has since been allowed to
wane.

SIX COMMUNISTS
Pittsburgh Victims of
Treachery Are Freed

PITTSBURGH, Pa, March 6.-The
strenuous efforts made by the yellow
Forward gang, ably assisted by the
Pittsburgh capitalist papers and the
city police, to create disturbance at
the meeting at which the internation-
al working class traitor, Abramovich,
slandered and villified the Soviet re-
public, and then had Communist
workers indicted for "Inciting to
riot" failed miserably.
The charges could not be made to
stick. 1t was too apparent to any
body who cared to know the actual
situation that whatever real disturb
ance took place was caused by the
Forward gang.
The six comrades who were arrest
ed are Marguerite Yeager, John Tru-
har, Peter Skirtic, Eli Kapic, Bleddyn
Thomas and J. H. Bay.
The six who were arrested and
held for federal investigation are now
free. The federal authorities imme-
diately admitted that there was no
evidence warranting an investigation
and refused to give the matter any
further consideration. The six com
rades, however, were ordered to again
appear before the magistrate, and, al
tho "his honor" had formerly ordered

charge, in order to maintain his al
legianee to the socialist politicians,

Some of these politicians are at

ness shown last Suncay and have
threatened to come in full force to
voice their protest at the meeting
Sunday, March s, at the Labor Iy-
eeum, when Bob Minor and NJ. j.

Workers Party have invited them to
come stating that everybody is well
come and that even yellow socialist
may learn from hearing the truth. At
any rate say the Workers Party mem
bers, mo matter how militantly you
voice your protest, we will not ask
