ish working class: Appeal for the
struggle to nberate the prisoners OF
capital
Some days ago the police were
again surprised. The relations OF the
Political prisoners formed special
committee and addressed themselves
ln-a long appeal to the workers. In
The appeal they described the situation
Of the prisoners. The committee was
perfectly legal undertaking, but
hardly had the first news about It's
organization been published in the
press when the police searched the

committee, all wives OF political pds-

ground among the masses during the
overthrow, was gradually followed by
deep depression They began to real
lie the true situation Behind the
back Of Pilsudsky they begin to see
the grimace of capitalist and agrarian
dictatorship. Instead Of bread, free
dom and work, the masses receive bull
let's, as this was the case in Hoatin-
min, Inovravlav and other towns.
The economic crisis intensiies
daily, and the sad truth the fact, con
vince the masses that everything re-
mains as before, or that it even gets
worse.
The masses challenge the bloody
rulers of ,reactionary Poland, and the

struggle, is devoted to the bravest Of

The DAILY WORKER, build the
power of the workers and farmers
against the forces OF capitalism, was
the message that J. Louis Engdahl,
editor Of The DAILY WORKER,
brought to Omaha to the spirited gath
ering Of labor that turned out to- cele-
brate the Ninth Anniversary OF the
Bolshevik Revolution in Russia.
"The Bolshevik Revolution is the
revolution of the workers and farmers
Of Omaha and Nebraska, just as much
as It is the revolution of the workers
and farmers of the Union of Soviet
Republics" said Engdahl. ut is your
revolution, part of the worldwide
struggle in the transition from CAPT
talism TO Communism. You must
study it, learn its lessons, profit by its
experiences, so that you, in common
with all oppressed labor in the United
States, may achieve the American Boil
shevik Revolution"
Engdahl explained the role OF the
Communist Party in the Russian revo-
luton and showed the necessity of
building the American section of the
Communist International and fits press.

The Supreme Court has in three
opinions upheld the decisions Of the
Marion Circuit Court that the excess
taxes were illegal, because 1t is

said.
The decision affects a number of

Of the increase was not given. Sew

In Marion County, while the first
case testing legality of the increase
was pending, an agreement was

Bosom said. The case was not de-
cided until after time for the second

1t is surprising what this new
medical preparation, Konjola, will
accomplish in many cases of neuritis

eliminated; the nerves become
stronger. and within brief space
OF time, this Konjola brings amaz-
ing relief to-the neuritis sufferer.
Where drugs and heart-weakening
chemicals only produce temporary
relief, this Konjola seems to go to

ROBINSON FIRM
HAS MOST rum
CASE APPEALS
So Show Indiana Supreme
Court Records for May
Docket.

Is there any incongruity in accept
ting expense money for making dry
speeches and fees for defending men
accused of violating the prohibition
laws?
The question has been raised by
those who have interested them
selves in checking appeals Of liquor
cases, after it had been disclosed in
Washington that Arthur Robinson
was one Of the Senators who had re-
ceived, either as an "honorarium"
or as expense funds, money for de-
livering addresses under the auspices
of the Anti-Saloon League, and was
known as a member of the law firm
which had had many liquor law vio-
lators as clients.
Endorsed by League
The Endorsement Of Robinson in
the Republican primary by the
league was responsible for the in
ouiry, inasmuch as the league in
dorsement was later admittedly I'M
fair to lother candidates. Especially
was this trie in the case OK Oswald
Ryan.
That inquiry led to the records OF
the Indiana Supreme Court. The
May docket of that court showed
that the firm Of Robinson Symmes
and Nelson, of which the Senator Ms
a member, then had on appeal nine
cases of those who had been con-
victed of liquor law violations.
other Appeals Withdrawn
The same firm had represented a
large number of others who appealed
on similar charges, but whose ap-
peals either had been decided or
withdrawn so that sentences could
be served concurrently.
The significance of the number Is
not in its total but in the fact that
the firm had a larger number of
clients who were making appeals on
these charges than any other law
firm in Marion County.

BY The Way

In all the comment on tie Mitchell
court martial and its outcome, next
20 snothing has been said about the
difference Of the trial Of the doughty
Colonel and the military trial Of a
buck private or non-eonmissioned
officer.
Col. Mitchell and his attorney were
allowed all sorts of liberties during
the trial. They criticized the court
freely and didn't hesitate to, speak
their mind about its personnel and
methods Of procedure. If a soldier
in the ranks attempted to defend him
selef in the way Mitchell did he
would be stopped in short order and
would be lucky If he escaped shooting
at sunrise.
In other words, the private and the
officer are not equal before the war
Of military justice, any more than
the poor man and the rich man are
equal before the bar Of civil justice.
Theoretically there is equal justice
for all in our courtss actually there is
far too much Of unequal justice, If the
word can be used when there is an
equality, which, of course, is the an
tithesis Of Justice.
Undoubtedly, the sentiment Of
the American people il almost over
whelmingly with Col. Mitchell in his
Sight with the army and naval bur
daucracy But that doesn't gainsay
the fact that he had the favorable
opportunity which rank and distinc-
ton and wealth always brings Of
presenting his case and defending
himself.
