Workers Deprived Of Civil
Rights, 1926 Review Shows

California, branded in 1925 as the
worst state in the Republic for civil
liberties, is yielding this position to
New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Massa-
chusetts, according to asummary of
the 1926 review of the American Civ
il Liberties Union New Jersey is
cited for the breakdown of civil
rights in the Passaic textile strike,
"the outstanding feature in the civil
liberty situation of the year." Penn
sylvania is labeled the only state in
which prosecution for opinions" und-
ed sedition acts is still pract1ced.
Massachusetts is cited for the con-
Viction of Anthony Bimba in Brock
ton last February for sedition and the
attempt of Mayor Nichols to gag
! free speech" in Boston. Bimba was
also charged with violation of state
blasphemy act passed in 1897.
California has made some strides
toward improving civil liberty con-
/ ditions, the review states. Prosccu-
tons under the criminal syndicalism
act have ceased and 55 syndicalist
/ prisoners were released during 1926.
All five of the syndicalist prisoners
In Walla Walla prison, Wash, have
I also been released.
Propaganda from the War Depart
ment, the American Legion and pro
fessiOnal patrioteering societies" is
held responsible for putting the ban
on % meetings of communists, socia-
lists, Ku Klux Klansmen, the Saliva
ton Army, and unaffiliated liberal
and radical speakers. The War De-
partment, the Legion, and Fundamen-
tallst organizations are also blamed
for the suppression of student pub
locations, dismissal of students fol-
expressing opinions, enforced mill
tary drill, compulsory Bible reading
laws, "salute-the-flag" regulation,
and an anti-evolution law in Missip
pi.
The most important free-speect
fight of the year, the review states
was the New York City Schoo
Boards ban against the Union itself
The fight is now being carried int
the courts.
Thirty-four lynchings are record
ed for 1926 by the Union as compared
with Is in 1925, 16 in 1924 and 28 II
1923. The increase is held to be due
to the failure of Congress to take an,
action on proposed anti-lynching reg
islation. Mob violence in the review
shows a drop from 40 instances II
1925 to 81 in 1926.
Civil liberty issues in industrial
strikes in New Jersey, Indiana, Rhod,
Island, New York and Pennsylvani;
occupy the bulk Of the review. In In
diana troops were called on duty K
guard nonunion mines. Troops wer,
also used in textile strikes in Rhod,
Island. Hundreds Of strikers wer,
: arrested while picketing in the flu
workers and garment workers strike
/ in New York City. In the steer re
! giOns of Pennsylvania police nav
made four raids on the homes O.

McTigue Wants Place in
Heavyweight Ranks

New York.-Mike MeTigue Satur-
day moved to capitalize his sensation
al four-round triumph over Paul
Berlenbach by offering to fight Jack
Sharkey of Boston, in Tex Richards
heavyweight elimination tournament.
Richards efforts to clinch the
match for February 25, the date OF
which the Boston heavyweight had
contracted to meet Berlenbach, struck
a snag, however when Johnny Buck
ley, Sharkey's manager, demnrred
Richard said he considered McTigue'
had established himself as a strong
heavyweight contender in spite or
the fact that he scaled only 1863
pounds last night.
Boxing men Saturday ranked the
comeback of McTigue with those of
the late Stanley Ketchell and John
ny Dundee, as one of the most SEN
sational of boxing history. They
pointed out that during the two-year
period of his light-heavyweight reign,
McTigue did not win a single out
standing battle, losing newspaper de-
cisi0ns to Young Stribling and Mic
key Walker, who at that time held
the welterweight title.
Friends claimed that an operation
on Mikes right hand did much 20 re-
store the punching power he had dis
played in his early ring days. I'm
proved hitting by the former cham
pion was evident in a victory over
Tiger Flowers, after which he de-
oisively outpointed Johnny Risko, Jne
/ Cleveland heavyweight.
Three straight knockouts over BIZ
ly VidabecS, King Solomon and Der
lenbach since then have made Nc
Tigue one Of the major ring attrac-
tions Of the current indoor season.

BRENTWOOD EASILY
DEFEATS SCOBEY H. S.

Last Friday night the Plentywood
High School basketball team won
from the Scobey boys in a rather
slow game by a score of 30 to IA.
The local boys had the advantage
throughout the game and the fact
that they had a big lead tended to
make the game rather uninteresting
to the fans.
Toward the end of the game Plen-
tywood used second string men and
still the Scobey boys were unable to
get the advantage.
The ScObey quint are very clean
players and their craftsmanship in
the face of defeat proved they are
made of the right kind of stuff. The
boys from the west were outclassed
both in size and experience by the
local five, but put up a plucky game
nevertheless.

|. L. D. Issues Stirring
Story of the Struggle
For Sacco and Vanzetti

Publication Of pamphlet, giving
the history of the famous Saceo-Van-
zetti case from its inception to the
moment of their cruel execution, was
announced today by international La
Dor Defense as a part of the national
campaign against the frame-up sys-
tenn which is to receive its initial i'm
petus at the Third Annual Conference
of the International Labor Defense,
to be held here on November 18th,
18th and 18th, the 40th Anniversary
of the Maymarket Martyrs.
The pamphlet opens with bio
graphical sketch of the lives of the
two heroic Italian labor fighters 1t
then proceeds to give an account of
the background of the case, the Pal
mer raids, the mysterious" death of
the Italian printer Salsedo, and the
arrest and trial of Sacco and Van
zetti in the viciously prejudicial at
mosphere of Judge Thayer's court
room.
The story Of the growth and de-
velopment of the magnificent move
ment of working class solidarity with
the two agitators is graphically de-
scribed. 1t is a story Of the deter
mined protests of millions in every
part of the world, The pamphlet an
alyzes the two tendencies in the de-
Tense movement; one which sought to
soft pedal the protests of labor, the
other which drove it constantly for
ward, strengthening its militancy,
power and self-reliance. The role of
the militants in the labor movement,
headed by the International Labor
Defense, is contrasted with the role
of the liberals and intellectuals who
attempted to dominate the protest
movement.
One of the most interesting chap
ters in the pamphlet is that which
draws the lessons of the great strug-
gle. The need of a powerful move
ment of labor defense against the
menace of the frame-up system is
pointed out as the most fitting monu-
ment to the heroic martyrdom of
Sacco and Vanzetti.
The pamphlet will sell at rs cents,
with a discount for orders of ten or
more. All inquiries and orders should
be sent to International Labor De-
tense, 80 East 18th St., Room 402,
New York York.

GUARDS ATTACK
COMMUNISTS IN
TOULON PRISON
Police Brutality Ends
Struggle Tt Commenced

TOULON, Sept. 3o.--For their per-
sistence in protesting against the
sentencing of Andre Marty with
shouts of "Down with the army!
Down with imperialism Long live
Marty" twelve of the Communists
imprisoned in the Naval prison at
Toulon were attacked by their gaol-
ers. Repeated threats from the war;
dens failed to dampen the courage of
the imprisoned workers who made
the long damp corridors of the Jail
re-echo with their singing of the
International. AS the gaolers as
saulted, the unarmed prisoners, be-
lieving that the police had had secret
orders to murder them and dispose
Of their bodies, defended themselves
with their prison tools and resisted.
During the melee, number of the nom
political prisoners, many of whom are
soldiers who refused to fight for the
imperialists in Syria, escaped into the
main gallery of the Jail and attacked
the attacking guards who were I'M
able to cope with these new assaiI-
ants.
A hurry call for reenforcements
was rushed from the prison and a
detachment Of naval gendarmes and
armed sailors were dispatched to
quell the struggle in the Jail. With
unspeakable brutality, the naval po-
lice herded the struggling prisoners
into camions and under heavy guard
transferred them to the prison an
mex at Malbousquet.
All along the route the. trucks,
heavily loaded with armed naval
gendarmes, were met by crowds of
cheering workers, singing the Inter
national and repeating the cries of
"Down with war! Long live Martyr
which had caused the attack by the
guards in the prison.
!, The struggle in the Toulon naval
prison is the natural consequence OF
the indescribable course of repression
and terrorism to which the French
police and secret service have sub
jected the French workers for months
past.

Attack on Al Smith
Delivered at COP.
State Convention

ROCHESTER, N. Y, Sept. 30.-The
most important question at the state
convention of the republican party
here is to find a candidate to run
against AL Smith for governor next
year.
An attack on Smiths administration
of state finances, his water power pol
icy and his plan of financing state
projects through bond issues were the
chief features of the platform pre-
scented to the convention today
The republican leaders insist that
if a stronger republican majority can
be returned to the state assembly in
the fall election, it will act as blow
to the presidential aspirations of
Smith.
Roosevelt Delivers Keynote.
Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, defeat
ed a few years ago by Smith for the
governorship, was selected by the re-
publicans as their "keynoter
Roosevelt virtually opened his
speech with reference to Governor
Smith and the White House.
eff we fail in our mission of in
creasing our republican majority in
the legislature, the country will say
New York is Tammany-tied, and that
she wishes to see in the White House
Governor Smith with the shadow of
18th Street resting across him."
Roosevelt told the delegates at
would be criminal for us to permit
such an assumption"
In closing Roosevelt again referred
to the White House, he said: "For
the first time in the history of the
nation the shadow of Tammany Hall
lies athwart the White House. 1t is
in our power to dispell that shadow
this autumn"
The convention was a half hour late
in getting started. 1t was called to
order by George X. Morris, chairman
of the republican state committee
after the invocation had been said by
Bishop David L. Ferris of Rochester
Colonel Roosevelt was elected chair
man on a motion by the republican
state committee.
