FINISH WENATCHEE
SOUTHERN July | 1928

An Associated Press dispatch in the
Tuesday evening papers under WASH
ington, ID. c., date line, said:
Announcement was made today at
tire annual meeting of the stockholders
CT the Wenatchee Southern Railroad
that an unnamed railroad was ready to
throw its financial support behind the
construction Of the line. 1t was also
announced that within the next year
stockholders would be approached with
regard to purchase of a certain amount
of preferred stock.
"The prospective line, running from
Wenatchee to Beverly, Wash, and tap
ping three transcontinental lines, will
be completed by July l, 1928, it was
said. Some work has already been done
on the Wenatctee end and operations
now are going on at the Beverly end"
The report further said that con-
struction contract had Teen entered
who built the Pacific coast extension
of the Milwaukee railroad a few
years ago.
Some of the work between Wenat-
chee and Beverly is heavy rock con-
strrction and it will take some time
to build this link 1t is therefore prob
able, if the above report is true, that
construction work will be started
sometime during 1927. Just who
is the unnamed railroad" who will
furnish the finances for the con-
struction is not known here but
in view of all the facts and circumstan-
ces it seems quite fair to presume that
the Milwaukee railroad knows more
about the Wenatchce Southern than is
given out for publication. One rumor
in circulation has it that the Wenat-
chee-Beverly link will be the first to be
built and that this will be done within
the next year. The Hanford-Kenne-
cwick link, this rumor says, will not be
constructed until sometime later. This
arrangement would undoubtedly b.
more beneficial to the Milwaukee sys-
tenn for it would permit it to tap the
heavy tonnage of the Wenatchee dis
trict. The building of the Hanford-
Kennewick link, however, would prob
ably be of more benefit locally in the
assembling of Car lots of soft fruit
ana early stuff from hele ana the
Richland- Kennewick district when
certain times neither place has suffi-
cient tonnage for the Car.

Sing Sing Warden
To Head Fight On
the Death Penalty

"The theory that the death penalty
acts as deterrent to crime is abso-
lutely false" Warden Lawes, of Sing
Sing, who will soon head a national
campaign against capital punishment,
said yesterday. The campaign will be
conducted by the League to Abolish
Capital Punishment.
"The United States," said Lawes,
"is a nation that leads the world in
scientific progress, yet has record
of 10000 homicidal deaths each year.
In the face of this, why do we cling
blindly to capital punishment"
Barbarous and Stupid.
Lawes asserts that when he as
sumed the wardenship of Sing Sing
he believed in the death penalty, but
his experiences and study since that
time have convinced him of its inef-
fetciveness and barbarism.

umbia Law School, and Arthur Gar

Get Demands Prior to
Strike; Victory Soon

More than half of the 1920 window
cleaners who were scheduled TO go on
strike yesterday morning to enforce
their demands for union recognition
and a weekly increase of SO in wages
achieved a victory without leaving
their jobs.
Peter Darck, secretary of Window

announced last night: "We are win
ming rapidly; more than half the work
ers are back on the job, their demands
granted, and before many hours have
passed the others should have the
same advantage"
20 picketing committees yesterday
called at the shops of non-union and
company union employers and noti-
fled all employees that the strike was
on and that all found working by
this morning would be classified as
strikebreakers.
The fact that the Central Trades
and Labor Council has officially en-
dorsed that strike and has promised
moral and financial aid in the walk.
out is having the desired effect of
bringing non-union men into the
ranks of the strikers. Peter Darck,
secretary of the Protective Union said
that lis men, former members of the
company union have reported at
union headquarters and have joined
the strike.

CROUCH PRAISES
WORK OF |. |. D.
ON VISIT HERE
Tells of Its Service to
Cause of Labor

Paul Crouch, the Communist soldier
visited the office of The DAILY
WORKER yesterday. Here to address
a monster anti-war rally to be held at
the Irving Plaza, 18th St. and Irving
Place on Friday evening, Oct. 14th,
Crouch praised enthusiastically the
work of the International Labor De-
fense.
"The I. L. d." he said, "is appar-
emily as powerful as the u. S. war
department. owe my freedom today
to the magnificent work of that or
ganization which mobilized the labor
protest against the vicious sentences
inflicted against Walter Trumbull and
myself"
Received Brutal Sentences.
The two ex-soldiers, convicted in
1925 of organizing Communist
League while serving with the army
in Hawaii were sentenced to long
terms in the Alcatraz military prison,
San Francisco Bay. Crouch received
q 40-year sentence and his comrade
26-years for Conducting propaganda
contrary to military discipline"
So effective was the campaign of
protest organized by the l. L. D.,
Crouch told The DAILY WORKER
that the war department was forced
to reduce the sentence to three-years
each. Crouch served "a total of two
years and four months in the prison
and Trumbull little over year.
l. L. d. of Vital Importance.
Crouch said that the national con-
ference which the |. L. D. is calling
in November is of the utmost inn
portance to labor thruout the country.
"Now when the reactionaries are
intensifying their fight on militant
workers, it becomes the most vital nec-
essity to build an organization like
the I. L. D. which fight valiantly for
workers framed-up for activity in the
class struggle"

Population Hostile To Rebels.
The whole population of the
country is infuriated at the at
tacks being made against the
government. Reactionary de-
tachments hastily organized by
agents of various American
capitalist groups are eXperienc-
ing almost instant annihilation be-
cause the population denounces them
to the Mexican governments military
authorities whenever they show their
faces.
Alfonso De La Huerta Dead.
Alfonso De La Huerta, brother Of
a former Wall Street president of
Mexico, tried to organize an insur-
rection among the Yaqui Indians, and
succeeded in inducing but eleven OF
them to join him when he was set
upon by federal troops, captured and
executed with one of his aides, Gen.
eral Medina. The Indians fled after
the attack by government forces.
The citizens af Nogales, across the
American border from Arizona, took
the body of the executed general and
propped j. against tree in the plaza
until tk, federal officials forced its
removal to a morgue.
Prevent Border Running.
Numerous adventurers, whose iden.
tity is known, are lowering near the
border in an effort to invade Mexico
but the vigilance of the population
which realizes the nature of the reac,
tionary movement prevent then
crossing. Only a few days ago De La
Huerta was living in Ell Paso, Texas
where his residence was a rendezvous

Sam Kurland, militant fur worker,
was sentenced to five years in Sing
Sing prison yesterday morning by
Judge DoneilalA in the court of gen

Kurland was convicted several
months ago on charge of felonious
assault. Several right wing scabs
accused him of attacking them dur

part of the general right wing frame
up against the fur workers support
ing the furriers' New York Joint
Board and it's progressive administra-

Workers Party to
Name Candidates.:
Convention Sunday

The Workers (Communist) Party
will hold its city nomination conven-
tion Sunday at 10 a. m. at the New
York district headquarters, 108 East
18th St., Room 46.
The convention will have before it
the drafting of program dealing
with the present general situation in
the country and detailed program
defining municipal and state issues.
United Ticket First.
The United Labor Ticket as a first
step in the direction of a labor party
will be perhaps the most important
project that the convention will dis
cuss. The action of the courts in is
suing injunctions in every important
strike in this city in the past year,
the police brutality in the struggle of
the needle trades workers, the trac-
tion workers, the truckmen, the paper
box makers and all other workers on
strike, makes the need of indepen-
dent political action by labor more
necessary than ever.
The convention will probably ad-
dress a letter to the socialist party
on the United Labor Ticket in this
election campaign.
Final nominations will be made by
the conference for the most impor-
tant assembly, aldermanic and judi
cial Districts.
Ben Gitlow, William F. Dunno,
William w. Weinstone, Alexander
Trachtenberg and others will speak.
