Negro Editors Are
Victims of Sedition
Charges in Kentucky

NEW YORK, Oct. /. = Two colored
editors OF Louisville, Kentucky, l. Will
lis Cole and William Marley, have
been offered the aid of the National
Association for the Advancement of
Colored People in defending them
selves for alleged violation of "cTimi-
nal syndicalism" and "sedition" sec
lions of Kentucky law. The two Negro
editors, Cole of the Louisville Leader
and Marley of the Louisville News,
are accused for an editorial which con-
demned the double standard of justice
prevailing in Kentucky.
A colored man charged with murder
and assault had been promptly hung
whereas a white man charged with as
sault upon an 11-year old colored girl
had been declared insane without any
questioning of his guilt. The county
attorney charged that the editorial
was designedly written to create race
hatred"

Green does not believe that there

thinks that in few years employers

production thru time saving machines,
wages will be increased and working
hours reduced.
The federation, not Ford, should be
given credit for first bringing about
the shorter week; Green said.

Ford seems merely to have accept
ed the philosophy Of the federation
in regard to hours, wages and produc-

Thru the federation's activity, the
fiye-day week already has been estab-

nix is out. WinnIk was released
from the Passalo county Jail on
81 900 bail after unsuccessful at
tempts had been made to impIoate
him In the bombing frame-up, and af-
ter he had been held without bail for
days while police attempted to force a
confession from him. They hoped to
make him ImpIicate himself and his
feIlow-prIsoners in the bombing
frame-up.
Ten strikers are still being held UNI
der the excessive bail of s450,000, and
for one no bail at all has been set.
Justice Charles w. Parker. who re-
Gently set bail for Mrs. Hall when
she was first arrested on suspicion of
murder, at $4,000, yesterday named
$4,000 as the collective bail for the
five textile strikers in Hackensack
jail. These men have been held with
out bail since their arrest last week.
In addition there are the five men
held in Passaic county jail at Pater-
son on $S59OOO. William Sikora is
being held there without bail.
When the $4,000 bail was set at
the hearing before Judge Parker,
Jack Rinzler, attorney for the defense,
asked prosecuting attorney, A. C..
Hart, to produce the confessions
which he claims the accused strikers
have made, and on which the men are
supposed to be held. According to
the reporter of the Passaic Daily Her

FTTB London correspondent Of the
a Chicago Tribune, who tells us that
Great Britain is striving to keep Mus
solibi in leash lest the fascist mad
dog should break loose and start an
other world war out Of hts turn, must
be extremely naive or very willing to
pass the diplomatic lies of Downing
Street along as facts. Every trained
newspaper man knows that 80 per
cent Of government official statements
are lies meant to cover up the truth
When Muss0lini intended to meet
Chamberlain at Leghorn he had the
fascist papers say that he was going
somewhere else. The idea is to throw
the psople off the track.
FTxHE Kaleidoscope changes that are
= taking place in the political rela-
tionships between the European pow
ers are of tremendous importance.
Ths new elignments THAT are now
throwing their shadows on the politi-
cal waters are but the forerunners Of
another war more catastrophe than
the last. The former chief rivals on
the continent OF Europe, the former
so-called traditional enemies" France
and Germany, may be allies In the
next war. How often has 1t been said
that france and Germany could not
get together because Of differences Of
blood" But the basis for an al
lance was found in coal and iron, just
as coal and iron, separated by from
tier, were the two principal causes Of
the enmity between the two countries
prior to the world war.
ETSHOSE who have the time could
spend it to less advantage than to
rsad the war files of the capitalist
papers. In those days it was glorious
France" and "barbarous Germany" 1t
Il not so today. The American bank
ers, thru the Dawes plan, put the Ger
man capitalists on their feet, and now
England is learning that she only
pushed the dagger deeper into her own
commercial heart when she affixed her
signature to the Dawes plan. For
every mark in PREPARATIONS her former
enemies get from Germany they lose
two marks worth of market. The
United States was not an ally" in the
late war but just an associate" And
now the papers have nice things to say
about the Germans, while they keep
hopping on England and France with
hobnailed boots.
TIME papers will not tell the truth
L about what actually happened at
the ini-Chamberlain conference.
But anyone who is acquainted with
the financial, commercial and political
rivalries Of Europe will not be far
wrong in assuming that England and
Italy are framing up on France and
Germany. And no doubt BRAND and
Stresemann, when they meet again
will not cherish the most cordial SEN
timents towards England and Italy.
The antagonism of England and Italy
towards France puts the latter in a
mood TO make valuable concessions
to Germany. Tho defeated on the

many is today more stable than either

There is much speculation as to the
effect the expose Of the federal gov
ernment's part IN the conspiracy will
have on International agitation. The
general opinion is that European la
Dor will enter into the case again with
an ardor that will eclipse all previous
agitation.
The facts are these: For years
European labor has been asking
Washington: What about our two
comrades, Sacco and Vanzetti? And
Washington has always answered, in
effect: The federal government is not
interested in the prosecution. It be-
longs solely to the criminal courts Of
Massachusetts,

Five years ago the Italian parlia-
.ment queried Washington and got
that answer. italian ambassadors and
consuls have taken up the case and
the buck has always been passed to
Massachusetts, Richard Washburn
Child, former ambassador to Italy,
tells two years ago in the Saturday
Evening Post how he was daily be-
sieged in Rome with inquiries about
Sacco and Vanzetti and how he asked
the state department about the case
and got the conventional answer that
1t was solely up to Massachusetts,.
Since then practically every European
labor movement has asked Washing
ton the same question, under the
regimes of Wilson, Harding and Cool
idge alike, and always got the same
answer.
