Letters from Our
Readers
An Appeal to Justice.

Editor, The DAILY WORKER.
would be very pleased II you will
publish this letter in an early issue
Of your paper,
October IA, 1924. T. A. Barraclough,
625 Irving boulevard, Los Angeles,
swore out an AFFIDAVIT Of insanity
against me, charging that had de-
fusion that he had a daughter with
whom claim to be madly in love;
that l had been 10 his house, and his
wife was scared to death Of me; that
he believed he needed police protec-
ton against me, but did not care to
ask for it, for he really did not think
that knew just what 1 was doing.
Such affidavit of insanity caused
me to be taken from my employment
and lodged in the psychopathic ward,
General Hospital, 100 Mission road,
Los Angeles, California
On October 16, 1924 Superior Court
Judge Walter Guerin told me that /
would be tried before him on the goth,
represented by legal counsel and to
subpoena witnesses, and II was com
mitted I had five days IN which to
demand a jury trial.
That afternoon / wrote to Mr.. G. l..
Thilgore, an attorney-at-law in Los
Angeles, but received no reply. On
October 20 | was without legal coun-
sci and Judge Guerin put me on pro-
baton.
Before the expiration of the FIVE
days prescribed by law l had made
written application for a jury trial.
have been told that it is on record
as part OF my case.
Whether it is or not, l would like
to point out that a defendants state
ments must be accepted as true I'M
less they can be proved untrue; that
defendant must be given the benefit
of the doubt. 1t is not up to me to
prove that | demanded a jury trial
within the time prescribed by law; 1t
is never reasonable to expect the de-
PENDANT to do so. The defendant is
continuously under lock and key and
must rely upon others to transmit
whatever messages are given. In
stead of being granted jury trial l
was kept at the General Hospital in
Los Angeles until November 4ths 1924,
when l was committed to Hondo.
was committed to this hospital for
the insane January 23rd, 1925.
During all this time l have failed
to obtain the services of a lawyer.
have written to both the California
state and federal supreme courts in
my efforts to obtain a writ of habeas
corpus, but have received no reply to
any of my letters.
If my case is an example Of human
itarianism as practiced in California
the sooner it is known the better.
l do not believe this is the American
ideal OF law and justice. II it is, the
American ideal is whole lot lower
now than it was at the time this re-
public was founded.

MINERS DO HONOR
TO striker Who
DIED IN BATTLE
MADEIRA Coal Diggers
Mourn Endie's Death

MADEIRA, Pa, Nov. 3--(FP)-While
MADEIRA miners seem on the point Of
winning their year-and-a-half strike
against the H. B. Swoope interests,
they are paying tribute to the mem
DRY OF Andrew Endie. local leader
who gave his life for them the other
day.
Endie's death followed a brutal evic-
ton during sickness. He lived in a
company house which he had been
buying on the monthly payment plan.
He had been paying for years and
most of the sum was in. But during
the strike his payments lapsed and
the company threatened to take his
house away. This was a tragedy for
man of 81 with seven schildren. The
company offered this alternative; Ad-
wise the men to go back to work and
you can stay.
Endie was recording secretary Of
local union 1888 and had been check
weighman before the strike. He was
man of influence in that mining
community. He was a key man. He
knew what his detection would mean
to the fight He was sick. But he
said No.
|. so they put Endie and his folks
onto the street. A week later he was
dead.
The Presbyterian church was jam
med at the funeral service. Paul
Fuller, education director Of Dist. 2,
and a friend of Endie's had been in
vited by the family to give the fu-
neral sermon.
Rev. West, fearful Of offending
Swoope, vetoed the plan at the last
moment and confined Fuller to prayer.
In the prayer Fuller laid the death
to the door of the coal corporation, in
words like these:
"Our heavenly father, thou knowest
and we know, that thou dids't not take
the life of Brother Endie. His life was
taken by the H. B. Swoope interests
who put him out into the street and
when he was sick because he stood by
his fellow workers"
Reverend upset.
The charge created a murmur Of as
sent that Rev. West tried vainly to
quiet in the sermon that followed
West urged the workers to think Of
heavenly, not earthly things, and get
close to God thus. But at the grave
Fuller got his opportunity for a more
sustained message to the hundreds OF
men there, including some of the
scabs.
Soon after the scabs at one of the
two mines struck and as this is writ
ten the scabs at the other mine are
meeting union organizers.
H. B. Swoope was hard master.
Instead of scrip he used metal trad
ing checks" coined to resemble I'm
Gle Sans dollar, and fifty cent and
smaller pieces, and good only at the
company store, where prices were
high.

first time next Wednesday when
Paramount's human and humorous
comedy, THE Show-Off." begins its
local engagement at the Opera
House.
In it's original form this picture

the director, with the help of Pierre
Ceilings, the scenarist, has incorpo-
rated comedy sequences and bits of
business" that were out of the
question in the spoken version be
cause of the limitations of the stage.
The Show-Off gets it's name from
the central character in the story

who drives everybody wild with his
Boosting and lying. To hear him
talk, one gets the impression that
he practically owns the Pennsylva-
ma RdlIrOau, whereas IN reality, he
is nothing but a small-salared
clerk.
In the matter of cast, even the
most captious critic will readily ad-
nit that Director St. Clair is a
mighty fine picker. Ford Sterling,
Lois Wilson, Louise Brooks and
Gregory Kelly carry the featured
roles, which insures acting of a de-
