saved the Polish Deputy Lanzutsky
from death. On the heels of the Ian
zutsky affair came the bestial murder
of two exchange prisoners bound for
Soviet Russia. The murder was com
mitted by Polish police officers a half
hour before the exchange party was to
cross the border.
The day after this crime was com
mitted the Polish courts, thru Judge
Krakoff, condemned to death the Com
munist soldiers Segal and Diffetski,
charging that they had issued revolu-
tionary proclamations.
i, Peasants Are Prosecuted
Coincident with it's action against
Lanzutsky, the Polish diet deprived
three Ukrainian members of parlia-
mentary immunity for the purpose of
prosecuting them for political activi-
ties. The three deputies, Wassilchuk,
Chuchmay and Kozitsky have been
marked by the Grabski government
because Of their efforts on behalf of
the Ukrainian national minority peas
antry, that has suffered intolerably
under the Polish regime.
The oppressed Polish masses are
moving as best they can against this
reign of terror But on all sides they
are met by merciless military force. in
the coal basin of Dumbrawa, the police
attacked number of Communists. in
the fight one policeman and one Com
munist were killed. The troops were
then brought into action. They pro-
ceeded to carry out a gas attack
against the workers. 145 Communists.
among them 80 women, have been ar
rested at Lodz.
Police Dispense Crowds

violent forms Of military oppression
and suppression are the order of the
day.. When thousands of workers
gathered about the court room in
Przempl. where Lanzutsky was being
tried, they were Immediately dis
persed by the gendarmerie.
The demonstrations to save Lam
zutsky outside Poland constituted one
of the best International working
class protests in history. In practical
ly every town in Europe where the
workers movement has any semblance
of legality, monster meetings were
held and demonstrations conducted
before the Polish consulates.
In Leningrad 200 900 Russian work
ers gathered in a great protest meet
ing before the Polish consulate there.
All over RussiaAthe Polish consulates
are heavily guarded by red army sol
diers for fear the indignation of the
workers against the Polish white
terror might result in violence. In
Paris, Berlin, London and all the large
centers of Europe, monster demon
strations composed of thousands of
workers struck fear into the hearts of
Polish representative abroad and
forced the Grabski government to
back down on the legal murder of
Lanzutsky. nitul
In Washington D. c., the Polish
embassy building was picketed by
hundreds of workers. In Detroit a
demonstration before the Polish con-
sulate was dispersed by the police,
