EXILE BY Us GOVT.
IN MOCK RELEASE
Activity In Organizing
Negroes Blamed,

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. "a
Marcus Garvey, famous as organizer
of the Universal Negro Improvement
Association, who has been in Atlanta
Penitentiary since February 8, 1928,
will be deported to Jamaica, his birth
place according to statements of gov
ernment officials here.
The announcement is that the
Negro leader will be "released"-b
it is admitted that this is only on
condition of his exile from the United
States, where he has been a resident
for many years.
Disapprove Deportation.
Numberless demands for Garvey's
release have been pouring into the
White House continually during the
four years of his incarceration. The
Universal Negro Improvement Asso-
citation as well as the American
Negro Labor Congress sent repeated
kilograms and other communications
to Coolidge some months ago, asking
tltat 1dINSy NC ISleoSSu anu uOC uS-
ported.
The Workers (Communist) Party,
in demanding Garveys release, has
declared that, though it condemned
actions and policies of Garvey, never
theless his Imprisonment was an act
of hatred committed by the govern
ment against the Negro people.
Carvey was convicted of using the
mails to defraud in connection with
the hack to Africa" movement of
the Black Star steamship line. 1t
is the belief of the progressive ele-
ment among the Negroes, that the
government sent Garvey to prison be-
>cause it wishes to cut short his work
of organizing many thousands Of the
working class Negroes.
Although Garvey's behavior after
his arrest in offering political conces-
sions and attempting to make over
lures to the Ku Klux Klan are
sharply condemned by progressive
Negro leaders, they declare that he
was rersecuted.
Interesting parallels have been
drawn between the handling of the
Teapot Dome affair, and Garvey's al
legged offense which pales into insig-
nificance by comparison with the for
mer. While Burns, Daugherty and
Coolidge have gone to great lengths
in protecting the Sinclair gang, they
have meted the maximum punishment
~ Garvey.
= A Negro leader said yesterday that
whatever Garvey's faults, Coolidge
who sends him into exile should be
ashamed of his own record as the
principal in the Teapot Dome affair,
beside which the crimes of which Mr..
Garvey is accused would be petty Of
fenses."

ROCKEFELLER is
RESPONSIBLE
FOR MASSACRE"
S avs Workers Party
Statement

"It is common knowledge that the;
Colorado Fuel and Iron Company, a
Standard Oil subsidiary, that oper-i
ates the largest group Of mines and
steel mills in the state of Colorado,
dominates the labor policy Of the
state of Colorado" says an official
statement of the New York district
organizations of the Workers (Com-i
munist) Party, signed by William W.
Weinstone, organizer, replying to the
denial of responsibility for the Colum-l
bine massacre by John D. Rockefeller,l

by Communist workers.

"The fact that Mr. John D. Rookie

700 PRISONERS
IN FOLSOM RISE;
SEIZE CONTROL
Desperate Protest Over
Warden's Cruelty

REPRESSA, Cal, Nov. 24.-With
national guardsmen rushing by auto
and train to the Folsom state peni-
tentiary here, seven hundred prison.
ers are in revolt against one of the
most brutal regimes maintained by
any prison authority in the United
States. They drove out the hundred
prison officials and guards, hired
killers who have horrible record of
murder done on their helpless charg-
es. wanton shootings, torture by
chlorine filled dark cells, clubbings
and assaults. They besieged Warden
Court Smith in his office, trying to
capture him and use him for a shield
with which to pass the gates, on
which machine guns are trained.
Prisoners Shot.
An unknown number of the prison
ers have been shot. One prison turn
key has been killed and two wounded.
Warden Smith, while locked in his
office, constantly teiephoned the
state capital for more assistance.
Governor Smith has called out a
battery of artillery and regiment of
infantry of militia, and national
guard airplane is lowering over the
prison. Two hundred special special
deputies and police are hurrying to
the prison, preceding the militia.
Desperate Protest,
The revolt came as protest
against the rotten food served on
Thanksgiving Day. There have been
succession of desperate outbreaks
in Folsom because of the unwarrant-
ed shooting of prisoners in the yard
by guards ensconced on the prison
wall, because of bad food, and con-
stant driving of half starved workers
to heavy exertion on the prison rock
pile.
|. w. w. Led Strikes.
l. W. w. prisoners, confined under
the California criminal syndicalism
law, have led several prison strikes
in "The Twin Hells": Folsom and San
Quentin penitentiaries.
Court Smith is former "city mar
shal' of Tulare, California, a small
town of four or five thousand inhabi-
tants. His mediocre ability as mar
shall caused him to be retired by the
voters, but by playing republican
party machine politics, he secured
sheriff's job and then the appointive
job of warden at Folsom. He is hard
ened, cruel, and stupid.

movement:
The r. |. l.. u. Statement.
To the workers of the whole
world in defense of the Colorado
miners against the capitalist as
sassins and their servants:
Rifles, machine guns again
shatter the illusion of class har-
mony of the American workers
and employers.
The coal miners of Colorado are
striking for wage increase and the
enforcement of the safety laws and
against company unionism. Parad-
ing unarmed with their families they
were brutally shot down by, the police
hirelings of John D. Rockefeller, the
richest man in the world and the own
er of Colorado mines, and the head CO
religious, philanthropic movements.
Five workers were killed and twen-
ty wounded, many fatally, including
a number of women. This is not the
first time that Rockefeller has mur-
dered workers en- masse. Nineteen
men, women and children were killed
at Ludlow, Colorado, in 1918.
Responsibility of A. F. of l.. Leaders.
Not all the responsibility lies at the
door of his tool, Gov. Adams of Col
orado, who, despite claims that he is
a liberal" and "a friend of labor" has
modified tanks, aeroplanes and all
the war weapons to crush the strike.
The chief blame for the Colorado
massacre of the workers wives and
children lies upon the unspealSably
corrupt reactionary leaders Of the
American Federation of Labor, and
firstly upon John l.. Lewis, the head
of the Miners Union, whose agents
and the whole official A. F. of L.
bureaucracy have united with the
black hundreds of the American Le-
gion together with Rockefeller and
the government to crush the strike.
Red International.
While the rifles were speaking,
Green & Co., whose hands are wet
with workers blood, was pretending
to defend the interests of the miners
they betray, by their bootlicking visit
to Coolidge.
Call For Aid To Miners.
The Executive Bureau of the Red
international of Labor Unions ex-
presses its profound indignation at
the massacre of hta Colorado miners.
and sends it's warmest greetings to
the striking workers as heroic fight
ers for the interests of the American
proletariat.

Unions calls upon the workers of the
whole world to raise an energetic pro-
test at the bloodbath which puts the
American bourgeois democracy on the
same level as European fascism and

Improper Toys are

Health official

chosen playthings often lead TO the
real making of the child, in the
opinion Of DIR. Manton NJ Carrick,
director Of public health here.
DR.. Carrick has just issued a list
Of suggestions as TO how parents
should choose toys for their children.
AlEimportant, says the doctor, is
remembrance Of the fact that toys
are Of two classes: these that de-
velop the body, and those that de-
velop the mind.A Body-developing
playthings are especially s~daptable
for the sluggish child who does not
take the necessary amount Of exer-
else. Included in this class are BIZ
cycles. wagons, sleds, rings, swings
and slides.
The second group is especially fit
ted for the child. since il
makes him self control. Under this
classification, DR.. Carrick places
building toys, games, puzzles, books
and drawing equipment.
"Analyze your child carefully and
decide upon the class Of toy you will
ask Santa to bring him." DIR. Carrick
AAEI@s rQA Nan AQI paw yO4A
child definitely in either OF these
groups, then ask Santa for toys from
both classes"
After you have made this decision,
the most important thing to consider
in selecting the toy durability. What
eve IL may be. ID should be Of quail
ity that will last the child for some
time, and not be destroyed Christmas
Day, the doctor says. ~Playthings
that can be broken easily are detri-
mental in that they teach the child
to be destructive.
By all means, do not buy a toy be-
cause II Is for sale, the doctor in
sists. You should choose IL because
il fills a special need Of your child.
"The toy You finally pick should
be interesting TO your child. If II
isn't, it will be cast aside before J.
has served its purpose. But don't
try TO force your child to like the
TOW you give him. or he will lose his
individuality. Never buy a toy just
because ii is expensive or interests
you; buy the toy to interest the
child" DR.. Carrick warns.
"The ,plRything should teach the
child something without his know
ing he is learning anything. and
should be suitable to his age and
skill. One would not think of asking
for a shotgun or u bicycle for a 2
vear-old-baby, yet mistakes just as
bad are made frequently. The toy
should be something that will de-
velop him mentally, physically or
morally. and still be within his range
