Hearing Sept. IA.
This morning the lawyer for the
Mexican consulate, Robert Wilson,
succeeded in winning an adjournment
until September IA for his clients.
Wilson told The DAILY WORKER
that the young Mexican workers had
been in the United States for periods
ranging from four to seven years.
All have worked regularly and have
never before been arrested"
Only One Witness"
He declared that only one witness
has been mustered by the police thus
far in the attempt to make out case
against the young Latin-Americans,
and he being voluntary" w:A1ess.

Meanwhile the district attorney was
striving for early indictments, at the
same time communicating with the
Department of Labor in an effort to
ascertain whether or not they made
illegal entry into the United States.

bership at the time of the Bourne
mouth Congress with the membership
represented by the present congress
lit is seen to have decreased 100000.
This is the result of the new Trade
Union Act and the strikebreaking
tactics of the General Council.
Secondly, this strikebreaking trend
of the leaders of the congress by no
means reflects the sentiments of the
masses. The strikebreaking mood
which is firmly rooted in the leading
quarters of the British trade union
movement was clearly expressed on
the very first day Of the congress.
While dissatisfaction and hatred are
growing amidst the masses who pain
fully seek for an issue from the trade
union impasse the leaders have al

Twenty-Five hundred legionnaires
who sailed yesterday on five Cunard
liners for the American fascist con-
vention in Paris on Sept. 10Th, will
be met with huge protest demonstra-
tions by French workers when they
arrive in Paris. French labor is
united in its fight to bar the Ameri-
can fascists, who stink along Paris
streets heavily guarded by the gend-
armes, obliging provided at the or
ders of the Poincare government, re-
ports from Paris state.
More Fascists Sail.
Droves of legionnaires will sail
from New York City on more than
a dozen ships before Saturday. Con-
tingents OF fascists will leave on six
ships today. on five tomorrow and
many more will leave on the Levia-

Secretary of War Davis and other
prominent die-hard leaders will ad-
dress the fascists aboard the vessel
late Friday night.

old INDICTMENT
OF DAILY WORKER
DROPPED BY U. S.
New Case Against Our
Paper Being Prepared

The reason for the calling of mem
bers of the editorial, business and
mechanical departments of T h e
DAILY WORKER before the Federal
Grand Jury last Week became clear
yesterday when the indictments OBJ
tanned against the editors and bust
ness manager several months ago
were dismissed by Judge Burns sit
ting in the Southern District Federal
Court in the Old Post Office building
Realizing that their original in
dictment against The DAILY WORK
ER was poorly constructed the fed
eral authorities Immediately set out
to build up a new case. Hence the
examination of those connected with
the paper last Thursday and Friday
before the grand jury to obtain evi-
denee for new Indictment.
Weak Evidence.
G: A. Williams, formerly secretary
to Chief Justice Taft and an expert
in cases concerning interpretations of
the so-called "obscenity" statute,
was counsel for The DAILY
WORkER. lie requested a demurrer
on the ground that there was insuffi-
cient evidence against the defendants.
Judge Burns agreed and dismissed the
indictments, which were against J.
Louis Engdahl, William F. Dunno,
editors, Alex Bittelman, Bert Miller,
business manager, David Gordon and
Joseph Kalar, contributors to The
DAILY WORKER.
The dismissal of the indictments
does not mean that the case is closed.
The testimony of The DAILY WORK
Err STAFF before the Grand Jury
last week is now being considered by
that body as the basis of new indict-
ments.

torney will not permit the subsequent

Union and the bosses. When the
union saw that it was impossible to
come to terms with the trucking COM
panies it voted for the strike at a
crowded meeting held at Beethoven
Hall, 21O East 10th st. After a
lengthy discussion the strike vote was
passed unanimously.
The agreement between the union
and the bosses expired on Septem-
ber l. The bosses demanded that the
new agreement include a cut in wages.
To this the workers put in counter
demand for more pay.
Wage Increase Asked.
The strikers demand S45 week in
stead of $40 that they now receive
and an eight-hour day with $1.20 for
overtime in place of 81 under the old
contract.
Commercial trucking is at a stand
still throughout New York City and
many parts of New Jersey. The
union said that they would not inter-
fere with the movements of produce
to and from the markets in New York.
Approximately 800 trucks of the
United States Trucking Company, a
like numbe rof the Merchants Truck
ing Bureau and from 200 to 5000 in
dependents were tied up by the giant
walkout.

LHumanite Calls Legionnaires Accomplices In
SaccO-V -VanZetti Murder

,out the entire world workers fought
to prevent the murder of the two
workers, and for the last two days
have fought to avenge them.
Protest Against Murder.
"In France, and particularly in
Paris, the protest movement against
the murder of Sacco and Vanzetti
assumed considerable proportions;
the majority, the great majority, of
the population of Paris expressed its
indignation against the brutal muir
der at Boston. And Paris is not
ready to forget very soon.
Members of the American Legion
have actively sided with the MUIR
derers"
Then follows the text of an article
by John Dos Passos, American novel;
ist, which says;
Legion Aids Murder.
"Alvan Osley, ex-commander of the
American Legion, and William Me-
Ginnis, commander of the legion in
Massachusetts, have congratulated
Governor Fuller and offered him the
services of the American Legion in
case of trouble"
The article closes with an appeal
urging workers and peasants Of
France to help bar the legion con-
vention. The appeal says:
"The workers and peasants Of
France refuse to be fooled by the
masquerade of the Sept. 10Th affair
as a celebration of "the friendship
of peoples of France and of the
United States"
"The workers and peasants Of
France have no friendship for the
murderers of Sacco and Vanzetti."

The waterfront yesterday was
desolated with only few non-union
trucks occasionally passing by. The
bosses have admitted that the strike
has been unusually effective, paralyz-
ing the entire city.
The strikers who are members of
locals 282 and 807 of the Transfers
Union are striking for an eight-hour
day and an average wage increase of
$5 week.
Longshoremen Join Struggle.
Longshoremen yesterday refused to
load trucks along West and South
streets that were being driven by
scabs and there appeared to be a
strong possibility that the piers along
the water front would be jammed
with freight which could not be
moved. The sailing of many boats
will undoubtedly be delayed if the
strike continues.
A $4,000 fund will be used by the
Merchant Truckmen's Bureau, the
bosses association, in an attempt to
break the strike. Seventy-five per
cent of the trucking companies in the
city are affiliated with the Bureau.

Current Events
By T. ]. O'FIaherty

If police were not able to unearth
a 'plot" occasionally, they would
be obliged to disturb their brain pans
with the problem of employment at
some other occupation calling for
either physical or mental labor or
both. This observation is called forth
by the sensational stories appearing
in the capitalist press relative to the
arrest Of six Latin Americans on sus-
picion Of being responsible for the
recent bombing of a Brooklyn court
house.
CINCE the explosions in two New
York subways on the eve of the
execution of Sacco and Vanzetti the
police have been busy trying to fas-
ten the responsibility on some person
or persons. The same tactics used
by William J. Burns in the Wall
Street explosion are now followed by
New York detectives in the recent
bombing scares. Suspected anar-
chists are being framed, arrested and
third-degreed. Materials for the
manufacture of explosives are con-
veniently found at their addresses and
their guilt is already assumed by the
hireling scribblers of the capitalist
press.
1T is needless to restate our opposi-
ton to the method of individual
terror as a means of abolishing the
capitalist system or even improving
the living conditions of the workers.
Communists are against such methods
because they are futile, and granting
that recent bombings in Manhattan
and in Brooklyn were the work of
propagandists of the deed no sane
revolutionist could find language
sufficiently vigorous to express ap-
propriate condemnation of such ac-
ton. The SUBJ ways are chiefly
patronized by workers and it is in
conceivable that anybody processing
zeal for the emancipation of the
workers from wage slavery should be-
lieve that the cause could be helped
by destroying little capitalist prop
erty at the risk of destroying the
lives of hundreds of workers.
pUT no worker who has followed the
methods employed by Burns in
the Wall Street explosion case, and
the many historical frame-ups that
have made this country infamous
thruout the proletarian world will be-
lieve that the men arrested by the
police in Brooklyn are guilty of the
crime for which they are being
grilled in prison. There is a rumor
current among railwaymen that the
subway explosions were due to
mechanical defects in underground
equipment. 1t is generally believed
now that the Wall Street explosion
was accidental and resulted from the
collision of a Dupont powder wagon
with another vehicle, but this clue
was never traced. On the other hand
hundreds of suspected radicals were
arrested and Burns received thou
sands of dollars from frightened
bankers for his fake Investigations.
THREE dead and two injured is the
casualty list of shooting affair
in an uptown office over real estate
deal in which the pistol-toter con-
sidered himself "whiskered" or eased
out of bunch of easy money. The
participants in the shooting bee were
