"You must accuse Greco and

told at the time the bribe was
offered him. "They are among
the most dangerous enemies of

Fascist Crimes Charged.
This was the high point of CAL

County court, were the two Italian
clothing workers are being tried on
framed-up charges of murder before
Judge Cohn and jury.

Caldora, because of its criminal

of Count di Revel. The witness said
that he knew "some criminal things

killed on their way to an anti-fascist
meeting held at 116th st. and First
Ave. He is now president of the Fas-

That portion of Caldora's testimony
dealing with the attempted bribe was
ordered stricken from the record by
Judge Cohn, following an objection
by the prosecutor that it was "irrele-
want"
Dismissal Asked.
The prosecution closed it's case with
startling suddenness about 45 minutes
after the court had convened. Arthur
Garfield Hays, defense counsel, moved
for the dismissal of the indictments
against Greco and Carrillo. Judge
Cohn promptly denied this motion.
Hays then requested that the court
direct the jury to bring in a verdict
of acquittal.
In moving that the court dismiss
the indictments, Hays pointed out the
absence of any valid Identification.
He ridiculed the contradictory testi-
mony of the star "eye-witnesses"
brought in by the prosecution.
Motions Denied.
The Judge denied this motion also

door open for reconsideration.
Caldora was the first witness called
by the defense. The fascist leader

>DAILY WORKER.
Failure to change the direc-
tion of the probe from the trivial
to the important, The DAILY
WORKER charged in its telegram,
would convict the committee of col
laborating with Hearst instead of ex-
posing his war mongering.
Sent to 9 Senators.
The telegram, besides being sent to
each member of the investigating
committee, was sent to each of the
senators who have been accused by
Hearst, The following senators were
sent the message: Reed, Jones, john
son, Robinson, Bruce, Borah, LaFol-
lette, Norris and Heflin.
The senators were informed that
the spurious character of the docu-
ments the Hearst papers have been
running to bring about war with
Mexico, had been proved by an expose
that appeared in The DAILY WORK
Err, November 10. The mechanism of
the expose was explained.
Telegram in Full.
The telegram, in full, follows:
"The DAILY WORKER calls your
attention to the superficial character
of the present investigation of William
Randolph Hearst's charges in connec-
ton with Mexico. The investigation
thus far deals only with one phase
of the clumsy forgeries of the Hearst
papers--the charge that the Mexican
bribed United States
senators. While it is absolutely cer-
tain that this, like the rest of the
charges of Hearst, is based on for
gerles and therefore untrue, we insist
chat this is only one side, and the
least important side, of the matter
Of far greater Importance is the fact
that Hearst, very powerful mag
nate of the press, has published and
continues to publish brazen forgeries
for the purpose of melting war with
Mexico.
Forgery Shown.
1--WE urgently call attention to the
fact that William Randolph Hearst,
as publisher of the New York Ameri-
can, caused to be printed in three
different editions of the issue of that
paper on Monday, November IA, three
different, alleged, Photographic re-
productions of same alleged original
documents. The first edition printed
an alleged document dated June 18th,
1926, and filed July End, 1921.
'In the second edition of the same
issue of the New York American the
filing date July End, 1921, was de-
leted. In the final edition of the same
issue of New York American a new
filing date, July End, 1926, appeared
in what purported to be the same pho
tograph of the same authentic docu-
ment alleged to have been obtained
from archives of Mexican govern
ment.
War ProvocatiOn.
1--WE submit that it is clear that
Hearst is trying to provoke war
against Mexico by means of at least
one forgery made or amended in his
own offices. This is a greater crime
than has been alleged or suggested on
either side during this investigation.
We demand that the senate committee
investigate this phase, failure to do
which would show the senate commit
Tee to be collaborating with Hearst
instead of exposing his criminal war
for private gain.
Coolidge's Policies Gain BY Forgery.
1--WE call attention to Hearst's re-
7eated assertions in his papers DUR
ng this forgery campaign that he is
actuated by the motive of supporting
Coolidge's policies in Latin America.
Therefore silence on this subject
would mean conscious effort to Dol.

main so. The American merchant
fleet costs more to operate than for
eign vessels and the American freight
and passenger men have not shown
the initiative in getting business that
the foreign companies have displayed.
This is the big transatlantic passen-
ger season. This passenger traffic Is
not exceedingly profitable even for the
foreign vessels, but the freight man
ayers know that freight shipments
which are profitable usually follow the
same route as the passengers who con.
troll them and they are making
strenuous efforts to get and hold the
passenger traffic Of Americans going
abroad. The German and Italian lines
have been especially successful in this
regard. Practically all the ships now
idle are obsolete, but they serve none
the less to prevent any satisfactory
revision upward in ocean freights.
