RAPED BY IL. D.
Palo Alto Times Also
for Repeal

PALo ALTO, Cal, Oct. 2s.--Califor-
MAS criminal syndicahsm law was
given q scathing arraignment at a
meeting here under the auspices of
the Palo Alto Housewives Union in
Russell cafeteria by Edgar Owens, or
gather for International Labor De-
Tense.
Reviews History.
The speaker reviewed the history
Of the labor defense organization and
summarized the development of sup
pressive labor legislation during and
since the world war, and outlined the
program of International Labor De-
Tense in California for the repeal OF
the criminal syndlcalism law and the
release OF all class war prisoners.
BabbIt Protests.
The announcement Of the meeting
appeared In the Palo Alto Times.
One Of the Times readers, signing
himself Law Respecter," sent a COM
munieation TO the Times forum do
nounelng the meeting and calling
on the good people Of Pslo Alto TO
prevent Il. In his letter he stated
that he "had not read the text of the
criminal syndIoallsm law, but had
been told that II was against tho
radicals and the I. w. w. and there
fore must be a good law"
A member OF the Housewives Union
took law Respecter' to a beautiful
cleaning, which led the editor Of the
Palo Alto Times to devote more than
a column editorial in commenting on
the criminal syndicalism law and
wherein he declared that "the Times
shares the view that the criminal syn
dicalism law OF the state should be
either repealed or revised in order to
prevent tnjustices that have been com
mitted thru its enforcement"

as It passes the 9th anniversary OF its
victory over organized capital, means
a great deal to organized labor
throughout the world
Signs Of this growing strength are
numerous. Trade union membership
in Soviet Russia on April 1 1928
reached S,768,2O0, a gain Of 26.2Ss over
the previous year. About 300 of all
wage earners in the country are or
ganized. The movement is weakest
among hired farm labor, which is
scattered and hard to reach. But even
in this field progress has been rapid
On April 1926 the Union of Land &
Forest Workers included 218,33s and
its agreements covered the wages and
conditions Of 66G00O Of the somewhat
more than 100000 workers in this
occupation,
The Railroad Workers Union, with
its growth to 980,600 members, re-
ports progress beyond mere increase
In numbers. There are in the union
4109 mutual aid societies with a mem
bership of 610,063 and resources over
$1,S00000. The income Of the unions
Standardization fund in 1925 was
$3,103,327. The union has 60S libra
ries with s35,700 subscribers and IN
addition 1913 travelling libraries.
Such signs are matter for congraku-
lation not only to the Russian work
ers on their anniversary, but also 20

A few days ago elections to the Dor

representation of about $50 over the
previous elections. Every social sys-
tenn bears within itself the germs Of
its own decay. This has been stated
hundreds Of thousands of times, but
it cannot be said too often.
WHILE the American working class
w were kidding themselves by vot-
ing for capitalist candidates the If

Party OF the Soviet Union was taking
place in the Kremlin, one of the many
palaces Of the czars. Now the czars
