OF course, "the people OF Pennsyl-

rulers attempt to identffy themselves

This American patriot, who lives
in Croatian halls, testified that Pap
cum said 1--WE must get new gov
eminent" and that there was "a way
Of training these young men with
rifles and ammunition"
This Is damaging testimony in
Pennsylvania. Everybody knows that
the way to get a new government In
Pennsylvania is to buy it.
NEXT is one Stanley Kitta, another
- union spy, who tried to show that
Papcun was against the union" The
steel trust, of course, is never against
the miners union except when some
body tries to organize one.
Kitta is followed by Frank Terrace,
who gives his occupation as farmer"
but who is known as Republics most
prominent bootlegger. He had been
shown UP as a company spy in a
previous case when Thomas Ray, a
militant old member of the U. M. w.
Of A.. had been the victim of frame
up.
Terrace, in his capacity of stool
pigeon, engineered his election as
chairman of the strike committee, of
which Papcun was a member He
was also one of committee of three
to confer with the district officials of
the United Mine Workers as to the
possibility of getting a charter in Re
public.
TT is evident that with a stool

committee and union officials who had
shown little, If any interest in organ
izing these miners, that the bosses
did not have much to worry about
except active and insistent George
Papcun who was splitting all the beans
by actually trying to do some organ
ization work.
Terrace steps down after telling
of some very spirited but sound adj
vice given to the strikers by Papcun
relative to the manner of handling de-
putty sheriffs who tried to stop le-
gal picketing, and which Papcun may
or may not have worded as stated,

yTHE title of this article is mislead-
i ing
The case is not the case of George
Papcun at all, but the case of the coal
miners, the steel workers and their
families against the Mellon-Morgan-
Gary steel, coal and Wall Street gov
eminent of Pennsylvania.
The title is misleading because even
working class journalists find it hard
to overcome the individualistic tradi-
lions of the United States sufficiently
to speak always in terms of economic
forces and political movements rather
than in terms of individuals.
TN Pennsylvania the case Of George
L Papcun has another name-a title
which is part Of the Official records of
the state government. 1t Is:
"The People Of the Commonwealth
Of Pennsylvania versus George Pap
cum"
The worst thing know about
George Papcun is that he chews tobac-
co because he thinks it emphasizes his
working class character.
The best thing / know about him
is that he IS an energetic and fear.
less young worker who has an intel
ligent hatred for capitalism and all
its works.
He Is intelligent enough to be q
member Of the Workers (Communist)
Party of America.
THIS, and the fact that he tried and
4 succeeded in organizing coal miners
in western Pennsylvania in the face OF
opposition from the coal operators, the
steel trust and certain miners union
officials who are altogether too friend.
ly with the bosses, is the reason why
his name and long list of alleged vic

Pennsylvania, are in the official rec

against him and the fact of his con
viction on six counts of the original
indictment.

THE CASE OF GEORGE PAPCUN

Mellon interests in the recent pri-
mary because this as Gilbert and
Sullivan have it. has nothing to do
with the case"
But he does tell lot of things
about the Workers (Communist) Par
ty, which have nothing to do with
the case of "the People of Pennsyl-
yania versus George Papcun." He
wants to tell more but the judge is
getting tired, probably feels that this
so-called evidence makes but little
difference anyway when the steel
trust, in the name of "the People OF
Pennsylvania, has indicated so plain
ly its wishes in the matter of the
disposal of Papcuns time and place
Of residence for the next ten or TWEEN
ty years, and decides that 1t is not
necessary to read the Communist
Manifesto, Theses and Statues OF the
Communist international. pamphlets
of the Trade Union Educational Lea
que, some of the works of Lenin and
Bucharin, etc.
THE judge was right.
J. Papcun was convicted altho the
defense sent out a story claiming
that the ruling out of the above evil
dence was a victory for IT.
These legal victories doubtless give
lawyers a great deal of satisfaction,
but the case of "the People of Penn
sylvania versus George Papcun" will
not be fought out in the Pennsyl-
vania courts or the United States
courts. The courts will reflect the
political struggle now centering
around the question of trade union or
ganization.
1t will be fought out in the mines
and mills of Pennsylvania by workers
who know that the real name of the
case is the "Steel Trust of Pennsyl-
wanna versus the People of Pennsyl-
vania."
TT seems to me that the Pennsylvania
rulers have picked a poor issue.
1t is so clear that workers can under
stand it easily when it is brought to
their attention. In the course of the
struggle going on in Pennsylvania
there will be developed many more
George Papcuns.
When the Papcuns outnumber the
paid spies of the steel trust, Pennsyl-
vania will have a real labor move
ment.
