CALIFORNIA
Capitalist Vengeance
Fooled of Its Prey
Especial to The Daily Worker,

Nopeclai TO me Dahy Worker)
MARYSVILLE, CAL, Jan. 25-Rich-
ard (5Iackie) Ford, was acquitted
here by jury trial Of the second
charge of murder arising out Of the
Wheatland hop-piekers' strike Of 1918.
The jury stood out for three days, the
first two days the vote being eight to
four for acquittal. Ford was released
on Sunday, January "a, from this case,
tho he is still on parole from Folsom
prison for the first case, in which a
verdict of guilty was given.
Case Thirteen Years Old.
The case of "Blackie" Ford became
sensation thruout the world when,
with Herman Suhr, still in prison, the
two led several thousand hop pickers
on strike at the burst hop ranch near
Marysville, Calf, against inhuman
and incredible conditions prevailing.
Burst a wealthy rancher, called
sheriffs and other gunner from the
county seat, and these worthless,
among whom was the then county
prosecutor Maxwell, opened fire upon
the unarmed strikers who were listen
ing to Ford speak at strike meeting
as the sheriff's car drove up to the
ranch. Some men among the strikers,
seeing women and children being
knocked down and shot at, seized the
guns from the attackers and used
them in defense of their lives, with
the result that two or three legalized
gunner were killed, among them the
county attorney. Some of the strikers
also we're killed.
Had Served Twelve Years.
Ford and Suhr were tried and SEN
fenced to life Imprisonment, After
twelve years of prison Ford secured
parole, only to be re-arrested at the
prison. gate for the murder charge
arising from the old case of the death
of second official gunman. 1t was up
on this charge that he was given the
present trial, with the son of the pro.
secutor who was killed twelve years
before prosecuting the case against
him now.
California frame-ups are getting
too Internally rotten to put over on
any jury, certainly the Ford case was
absolutely beyond belief" is the way
one observer put it when the verdict
was returned.

haitian Lyceum meeting arranged by
the Amaigamated Action Committee
Saturday afternoon.
Sam Lipzin, who opened the meet
ing, was thrown bodily from the plat
form by HiIIman's gangsters. while
Beckerman, the new Mussolini in the
New York A. c. W., attempted to
seize the platform and run the meet
ing in the name of the New York
joint board.
The workers made it impossible for
Beckerman to say a word, so the
gangsters, 200 or more, armed with
black jacks and knives, started to
beat up the audience, which did not
altogether like this application of the
Golden Rule" made the best of the
motto of Doing to others as you
would have them do unto you" thus
started by the gangsters, until the
gangsters had to call the police to
help clear the hall.
Outside the gangsters tried their
tactics on huge crowd that had
gathered to witness the fight, while
the police-which should surprise no
body-did not interfere.
In spite of the fascist tactics Of
Hillman, which cannot continue for
ever without correction, the Anal

call another meeting this week.

ABOUT three weeks ago things
relative to women's sport in the

rapidity and force that individuals,
groups, and organizations were left
dazed and confused. But with one
exception the how, for, where, and
why, Of the this, that, and the other
were not entirely and clearly under
stood by anyone. This we did
know-that the advent Of the ". A.
A. F. figured prominently in the
general hubbub.
Realizing that there was some
misunderstanding in the minds of
the girls regarding the platform and
principles of the ~. A. A. E., Miss
Schroeder came from New York two
days ago to do her best 10 help
straighten things out. And her
best was very good for it has proved
to be the necessary lubricant for
the perturbed conditions.
First Of aII, Miss Schroeder told
the girls that she did not want
them to feel as IL they were being
rushed into this newly proposed
nationwide organization.
She much prefers them to look
everything over coolly, and col.
lectedIy, and be entirely ready for
the move before it is taken. She
added that IL necessary to be sure
of their step she would much
rather have the girls come in three
years hence than to plunge
ignorantly now. That was that,
much to the satisfaction of those
present.
Another important issue was
fairly met and overcome. The n. A.
A. F. will do everything that is
wise and possible to bend their rules
to take care Of the deman ds and
needs of such Independent organiza-
tons as we have here.
SO far this national organization
