KLANSMEN GLOAT
over MURDER OF

Exhibit Bodies in Public
Square
especial to The Daily Worker,

CAMDEN, Ark, Feb. pa arue-
some exhibit was staged here last week
surprising anything seen for many
days in the south where fiendish tor
ture Of Negro workers is a common
occurrence. The bodies Of Isham
Jones, cephas johnson, John canady
and Clinton Mason, four Negroes exc
cuted for the murder Of J. NJ. Moore,
an aged white merchant, despite facts
brot out at the trial proving their in
nocenee; were exhibited In the down.
town district with the permission Of
the officials of the state penitentiary
and the local authorities.
A thousand persons, including min
listers and school heads from all parts
of the state viewed the bodies at the
Mcmahon chapel where they were
placed in baskets with sign reading:
What niggers get for killing white
man."
The expense of returning the bodies
to Quachita county was borne by the
citizens" who staged the inhuman ex-
HiDib Will IHe lull hHOWlou6o anu dS-
sistance of the officials of the state
and locality in order that the ghoul-
ish deed might serve to frighten Ne
gro workers into further submission
and allow the merchants to facilitate
their robbery of the awakening work
ers who might be prone to protest.
At the trial of the four Negro work
ers, not only was evidence OF their in
nocence presented, but there was also
strong suggestion that the actual
slayer of the merchant was known.
These facts did not prevent the convic-
ton and execution of the four Negroes
since the opportunity presented itself
to teach the Negro his place."

munist daily.
Few discordant notes are being
struck in the general barrage laid
down by the New England of Coo

the multi-millionaire mill owner, and
of its blue blooded coupon clipping
parasitic aristocracy in favor Of go

phemer."
Only from the student daily, at
Dartmouth college, up in New Hamp-
shire, comes a dissenting voice in an
editorial under the caption, ''The
Cradle Of Liberty in part as follows !:
"For some years the American pub
lie has been suffering under delu-
sion in assuming that the people of
Boston consider their town the early
resting place of liberty. when they
dub it affectionately. The Cradle of

"We now understand what the rev.
erend Bostonians mean by that figure.
Their town is the cradle in which Ii
berty is being slowly rocked to sleep.
A gentle snore was heard with the
barring of Scott Nearing from the
platform of Paine Memorial Hail."
In fact, the barring of Nearing from
the hall dedicated to free speech in
memory of Thomas Paine, the atheist
Of Americas revolutionary years, and
the threat to arrest him, indicates the
lynching spirit that has been develop
ed among these self-righteous New
EngIanders in support of the sacred
blue laws put on the statute books
more than two centuries ago.
The hysterical Boston Telegram,
reputed to be an organ Of the mill
owners, reveals the real purpose Of
the prosecution in an editorial.

Halls have been closed against Bim-

of Lawrence and Pittsfield, Mass,

lice broke up a meeting in Provi-

LETTER FROM RELEASED PRISONER
OF ALCATRAZ MILITARY PRISON
eSHOWS TREATMENT OF PAUL CROUCH

EDITORS NOTE: The following
letter from one just released from
Alcatraz prison tells of the condi-
/ tions melted out to the political
prisoners Crouch and Trumbull in
that military prison. Crouch and
Trumbull were sentenced by court
martial to three years and one year
respectively because they dared to
organize the Communist League of
Hawaii while in the American army
in Honolulu.
Those who are interested can
hear more of the treatment of these
two soldier prisoners since their ar
rest from the lips of Trumbull who
is to tour the country under the
auspices Of International Labor De-
Tense starting in Los Angeles on
February 49,
San Francisco, Calf.
To The DAILY WORKER:
Having been released from the mil
itary prison, Alcatraz, California, Jan
uary 6. 1926, it is perhaps opportune
to automatically inform the working
class of America of the conditions
there, particularly insofar as
they relate to Comrades Crouch and
the boys whose only crime
was the exercise and expression OF
their political views in the United
States army, and a realization of their
duty to their fellowmen.
Comrade Crouch, in particular. is
obliged to suffer the most tyrannical
of indignities. The most difficult work
available is assigned him, work fol-
which he Is no more suited than would
be a brick mason as a surgeon. Nc
thought whatever is given his very
evident intellectual ability. He has
had large experience as a newspaper
man, having been. at different times
news editor and business editor Of
large dailies. At Alcatraz there Is
a printing establishment for the pur
pose of turning out army bulletins
orders, stationary, etc. Crouch is, by
far, the most capable man in the insti
tuition for this work; however, he Is
given a pick and shovel, and a pugilist
and a farmer do the printing. The

U. S. TO REVERSE
EXCLUSION OF
LADY GATHCART

NEW YORK, Feb. 23 - Indications
pointed today to a complete reversal
of the attitude of the government
towards countess OF CaLncart, and her
moral turpitude. This in a way ex-
plains the decision to admit her to
this country on $500 bail.
1t is believed the government will
give as a reason for its action, that in
the union of South Africa, where she
lived a year with Earl of Craven,
moral turpitude is not crime"
The countess was to have had a
hearing today before federal judge
but the government quickly accepted
the request OF her counsel for post;
ponement for a week.
In the meantime. it is deemed prob
able that there will be re-hearing
before three immigration inspectors at
Ellis Island and the countess admitted
without restriction.
The countess spent the morning in
conferences with agents fetching al.
most as many propositions to her as
were offered Red Grange. Night clubs
fairly ached to pay her $4,000 week
to be hostess; vaudeville will let her
write her own price to appear in a
dramatic sketch on her own or any
body elses authorship, and Florida
real estate developers have burned
the wires with glowing offers, hints
OF fat cash advances, an exclusive
villa-almost anything in or out OF
reason. The countess is taking II all
as half joke.

TROOPS TO AID
OPERATORS TO
reopen MINES
Three National Guard
Units Threaten Miners
Especial to The oaIIy WORKER

EVANSVILLE, Ind, Feb. 23-Three
companies of national guardsmen
from a trio of Indiana cities arrived
here prepared to aid the mine oper-
ators if local officials find themselves
unable to crush the walkout.
The troops were dispatched here
during the night by Adjutant General
William H. Kershner. Attempts will
be made TO reopen the non-union
mines in Southern Indiana coal fields,
nearly. all of which have been shut
down since the series of walkouts a
week ago.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Feb. 2S-The
mining district in Southwestern In
diana was to be patrolled today by the
Indiana national guard troops as the
operators will attempt to reopen the
non-union mines today.
The stationing of the troops in this
area followed a conference between
Adj Gen. William X. Kershner and
Gov. Ed. Jackson. The adjutant gen
eral said the troops were sent for

unable to cope with the situation"

The Boston Telegram, bitter la
bor-hating sheet owned by Doheny,
the oil promoter who was smeared
from head to foot in the Teapot
Dome" graft scandal which shook the
republican federal administration in
1924, to its foundations. published an
editorial headed "Squelch the Reds. "
Those who dare approve of the opin-
ions of Anthony Bimba are referred to
as "yapping ours" and "blackguard-
ly crew." 1t openly advocates that
no hall should be rented to allow
Bimba or the International Labor De-
tense which is defending him to pre-
sent their views. on the case.
The actions of the local authorities
of Hudson, Mass, in organizing a cam
paign of deportation against Lithuan-
ian and other foreign-born workers is
another step in the huge campaign
against the workers Of New England.
SO great is the terror waged by this
gang, led by catholic priest, that sew
eral workers have been forced to quit
their jobs and leave town to escape
persecution. The federal immigration
authorities have been called in to aid
in this terror against foFeign-born
workers in Hudson.
In Lawrence, Pittsfield, Providence,
and Boston, meetings have been pro-
hibited or broken up by the police. In
Boston, Scott Nearing, who was to
speak in Paine Memorial Hall on the
question Of recognition of Soviet Rus
STA, was prevented from speaking and
threatened with arrest, simply be-
cause he was suspected with having
some connection with Anthony Bim-
ba or his defense.
The hysteria that is being deliber-
ately created by the venal capitalist
press here can only be compared to
that inoited in southern states against
Negro workers during race riots. 1t
appears to be the deliberate intention
of the bosses press to incite pogrom
against the foreign-born workers and
those who do not believe in divine
revelation" according to the Old
Testament.
The right of free speech" and the
other rights supposedly guaranteed by
the American constitution have been
swept aside as usual as soon as the
weasel-minded guardians of law and
order" have seen fit to do so. Instead
of the sacred constitution" ruling
supreme today in this district there
rules openly the press controlled by
the bosses which is ordering the local
authorities to do its bidding and
trample underfoot free speech, free
press and also the right to think as
one pleases.
