Russian Workers Score
Rakosi Court-Martial

MOSCOW, L. S. S. R., (By MaiD-
The placing of Rakosi and his COM
rades before an extraordinary court
despite the tremendous volume of pro-
test from the international working
class without distinction of political
opinion, caused the greatest indigna-
ton in all circles in the Soviet Union.
The Pravda points out that the muir
der in Budapest is being carried on
against accused who have been re-
fused every possibility of legal de-
Tense, which is unusual even for the
reactionary Hungarian understanding
of law The public prosecutor seems to
be aware how absurd the accusations
are and for this reason the accused
were refused permission to see the
material upon which they were being
charged. The Pravda asks whether
the public prosecutor does or does not
consciously lie when he declares that
Rakosi was sent to Hungary on the
orders of a foreign power for the
purpose of bringing about the fall of
the state.
Does the prosecutor really believe
that a revolution can be made on the
order of a foreign state? Does the
public prosecutor himself believe in
this SANDER?
Naturally Rakosi and his comrades
and the whole of the Hungarian work
ing class are dissatisfied with the pres
ent social order in Hungary, but the
overthrow of this order can only be
the work of the whole working class
in Hungary and not the work of indi-
viduals and to accuse these of insur-
rection is the work of a maniac. But
the public prosecutor is not in the
least interested in the innocence or
guilt of Rakosi the only interest is to
settle him as quickly as possible.
The whole international proletariat
must raise its voice in angry protest
against the shameful justice comedy
in Budapest. All honest proletarians
must take Rakosi and his comrades
under their protectionl The maniacal
Hungarian bandits must be brot to
stop!

The Labor Defender Appears

THE Labor Defender is a new
L magazine of which the first num-
Der has just appeared published by
the International Labor Defense, edit
ed by T. J. O'Flaherty. This paper
is a fresh and vigorous presentation
Of the ideas of movement which can
shake the world; the organization of
millions of workers for the simple de-
mand that the champions of the labor
movement shall not be butchered and
imprisoned by the capitalist govern
ments of the world
We remember how the prosecution
of William d. Haywood, of the West
erne Federation of Miners, in 1907, on
the charge of murder of the governor
Of Idaho, opened the eyes of hundreds
of thousands of workers. The militant
defense of Haywood gave a power
full impetus to the crystalizing of the
class psychology of the workers of
this country into something more de-
initely approaching a class theology.
Many thousands of workers can trace
their first awakening to the realities
and the ideals of their class thru the
thinking that was induced by the case
and applied to the experiences of the
struggle for existence in the capital
list world.
Before that the Debs case had taken
its dramatic place in history-and
still earlier, the terrible case of the
Haymarket martyrs had brought the
bloody launching of the eight-hour
movement. In more recent years the
Schmidt and Kaplan and Mcnamara
cases tore across the capitalist
skies as a warning to the parasitic
class that all was not perma-
nent in the world of silks and
satins and rags. Then, nine years
ago, the frame-up of Tom Mooney and
Warren Billings reached around the
globe from the scene of little street
car strike in San Francisco and play
ed even its own small part in the
Russian revolutions early days and in
the affairs of the world war. The al
most incredible facts of the mass
trials of the I.W.W. and the condem-
nation of Sacco and Vanzetti to the
electric chair were piled upon it.
Yet the famous labor cases which
have gripped the vitals of the work
ing class heretofore, now appear as
only a fragmentary part of the ire
mendous mass of prosecutions that

are now going on all over the world in
these sharper times of the last period
of capitalism and of the dawn of the
proletarian revolution. Every one of
a thousand terrible dramas now being
played in every country in the world
has the same power to. move and edu-
cate the working class. But actually
there has been too much material for
the purpose-too many dramas play
ing at once to be able to command
the same concentrated attention. The
very volume of the battle-ground brot
deafness to the battles. There was
need Of powerful hand to reach out
and gather and organize the material
and to present the drama of "the thou
sand Mooney cases" in one all-power-
full presentation.
1t seems that the International La
Dor Defense will succeed in organic
ing and presenting to the workers this
big drama on its world scale. 1t sue
ceeds in reminding us again that the
fighters are still in, and that new
fighters are legion. The presentation
in the first number of the Labor De-
fender gives something Of the flavor
of the old single dramas-but with the
new flavor of mass struggle. At the
same time the organization behind It
serves to do the practical work of
gathering material aid for those who
are being mangled and tortured behind

"The principal policy of the labor

of the Japanese capitalistic society.

10, "The proletarian party is to unite

on the political field. Therefore, the
trade union movement is by duty
bound to cooperate with the non-prop-

lively strive for the realization Of the

And finally they declare: "Ths

slogan, must be turned into deeds

cratic central committee. This was
the result Of heated fight between
the Communist left wing minority in
the federation and the reformistic
right wingers, carried on for over a
year.
The root of the split was in the his
toric development of the labor move
ment along the general development
Of Japanese capitalism. 1t was min
iature incident equal to the birth of
the Profntern after the world war and
the temporary collapse of the world
labor movement. The same situation
came to Japan in a national scale and

OUCH is the outline of the theology

seem to be not SO blind to the general

explanation on the points enumerated
as the line of action may further prove
their correct thinking.
AS to point 3, they say: lowing to
the specific character of the industrial
life of Japan, women comprise a large
part of the Japanese working class,
the trade union movement, therefore,
must pay a particular attention to the
problems of female workers. !"
OF point 4, they state: Reform
istic measures and machineries may
be actively utilized only from the
ground of class struggle. While they
may be resorted to for the benefit of
the working class, their true character
should, constantly be unmasked before
the eyes of the working masses"

ARTICLE I.

MANY are already familiar with the
recent split in the Japanese Cen
eral Federation of Labor (Sodomei)
and of the founding of a left wing
center, the Japan Labor Union Coun-
Gil (Nihon Radokumia Hyogikai). The
event was one of the most important
happenings in the history of the Jap
anese labor movement and its further
developments are worthy of close at
tention, for it marks the beginning of
a new turn in the whole labor move
ment of the country.
Toward the end of last May after
the 14th Congress of the Japanese
General Federation of Labor, % un-
ions were summarily expelled from
the federation, on the ground that
they supported their Communist lead
ers against the wish of the bureau
