CROUCH DUE AT
ALCATRAz ARMY
PRISON TODAY
Communist Soldiers to
Be Confined There

ALcATRAz, Cal, July 5. - Paul
Crouch and Walter TrumbulI, United
States soldiers who were sentenced at
Sehofield Barracks, near Honolulu,
Hawaii, for organizing a Communist
League, are due TO arrive here. Crouch
and TrumbulI, who were at first SEN
fenced to forty and rs years in prison
were scheduled to leave Hawaii on
June &c, for the United States disci-
plinary barracks here, where they will
be- confined. Following a universal
protest, the army authorities reduced
the sentences to three years and one
year.
Paul Crouch tells the DAILY
WORKER, while in Alcatraz, we
will study and prepare ourselves in
every possible way for more efficient
service to the cause of the working
class after our release"

ston--Salem NJ c. Journal, entitled:

Crouch said just before he sailed, 81
do not have sufficient command of
words to describe those who propose
mercy for one who desires no favors
from the capitalist class"
when the worker demands his
rights, the ownership of the instru-
ments of production and the wealth
he has produced, he gets charity.
When he asks for justice, he gets
mercy"
Crouch and Trumbull were court
martialed and sentenced on the sole
evidence of an army spy, whose testi-
mony was proven false by the defense.
The verdict was brot in after less
than half an hours deliberation, and
the records of the trial were altered
by the army authorities.

Many Women Over Age
of a. Years Employed

OF the eight and half million wo-
men in the United States who work
for living, three-quarters of them
are over "a years of age and two
flfths of these, or nearly one-third of
the total number are more than A
years old. OF the two million mar
ried women at work, three-fifths are
between rs and Al years of age, while
another fifth are over Al years. These
facts concerning working women can
befound in the latest pamphlet issued
by the Women's Bureau of the u. S.
Department of Labor, Washington, d.
C.sls
II In regard to women's wages for
any of the states investigated by the
Women's Bureau the highest median
was the mere pittance of S16.S5. The
medians ranged from that sum down
to as low as $3.50 a week. The in
yestigation showed that where the
wages were higher the hours of work
were less and where wages we're the
lowest, hours Of labor were longest.

STATE ALLOWS
INSURANCE CO.'S
TO DODGE TAXES
Court Ruling Ignored by
Attorney General

Licenses to several hundred foreign
fire insurance companies, which ex-
pired July 1, were being renewed to-
day pending decision by the Unit
ed States supreme court as to wheth-
er the Illinois insurance law is con-
stitutional as held by the state SUI
preme court.
The license renewals were ordered
issued following an opinion given by
Attorney General Carlstrom which
virtually overrides a recent decision
of the Illinois supreme court.
The ruling of the supreme court
came in a test case brought by the
Hanover Insurance Co., against Pat
rick j. Carr, treasurer of Cook coun-
ty. The insurance company contest
ed against the law taxing them 2 per
cent of their net receipts, which has
been enforced for years.
The state court ruled that the law
is constitutional, and that no licens-
es should be issued to companies in
default
Perhaps ninety per cent of the fire
insurance companies doing business
in the state, with 10000 agents, are
in default.

May Hold Scopes
Trial on Friday
in Spite of Colby

DAYTON, Tenn, July 5. - The
Scopes trial will probably begin next
Friday after all, as the defense law
yers are considering the plea of Day
ton residents that they have spent
fifty thousand dollars getting ready
for the trial
1t was announced that an injunction
would be sought in the federal court
to restrain the Rhea county authori-
ties from prosecuting Scopes on the
ground that the anti-evolution law I'M
der which he was arrested is uncon-
stitutional.
John R. Neal, chief counsel for the
defense, is using his influence against
cambridge Colby's attempt to end the
Dayton trial before it starts by get
ting an injunction.

know all the technical details of the
requirements of the industry there
fore the union work should be sepa-
rated from Party affairs and party
policies.
Bad Results Either Way.
The results are generally the same.
Party members fail to become the con-
Meeting link between the masses with
in the unions and the party. They fail
completely to put forward Communist
policies and, instead of advancing a
concrete, militant program, they be-
come simply an appendix to whatever
opposition movement may exist to the
rule of the reactionary clique in con-
troll, or they become the tools of re-
action itself.
On the other hand, where the Com
munist fractions are rigidly main
tanned and Communist policies applied
in practice, healthy growing left wing
movements have already obtained i'm
portant victories and promise good for
the future.
Communist Tactics Not Applied
Previously.
1t was acknowledged that, due to
lack of application of Communist poll
cies and definite organization of the
Communist fraction in the past with
in the steel workers union, the strug-
gle for the present progressive group,
altho it had given battle to the re-
dictionary corrupt leadership of the
Mike Tighe administration, had be-
come confined to purely trade issues
and had failed to bring forward in
concrete terms the great needs of the
union and Of the workers in the in
dustry.
Altho being subject to vicious at
tacks by the Mike Tighe administra-
ton and ready to fight back, the prog
ressive group has succeeded in rising
no higher than to demand constitu-
tional changes on dues payments and
improvements of the existing wage
scales.
Must Live Up to Name.
Important as these may be, the
Amalgamated Association has no
power to enfonce any scale because
of the unorganized state of the in
dustry. And any group laying claim to
the name progressive" must not fail
to bring forward practical program
of organization of the unorganized in
the industry, of real industrial union
ism and of the organization of shop
committees. 1t must not fail to take
stand on the political issues facing
the workers in the industry.
The Communist steel workers frac-
ton, organized at the Youngstown
meeting, will consider it first duty
