have not been accomplished without an enor-
nous expenditure of money and energy. The
situation has developed to such proportions
and the demands are so great that, in order
for the campaign to continue, it is absolutely
imperative that funds be instantly rushed to
our national campaign headquarters. =
Money is urgently needed NOW at this
moment; in order that the campaign of the
class struggle may be waged to the end.
Our readers know us for what we have
done IN the class struggles of the American
working class the past few years. We have
borne the brunt of every fight whether'it be
In the mines, the needle industry, textiles
traction, or elsewhere.
The one thing that is of paramount i'm
portance to the working class in this cam
palgn is the fact that for the first time the
Workers (Communis) Party is a vital fac
tor in the political life of the country It
would be the most shameful conclusion of all
our efforts if we were unable to meet the in
creasing demands for unrelenting resistance
to the capitalist terror only because of
shortage of funds. 1t is true we can never
expect to compete with the capitalist
parties in raising funds. We do not need to.

bride and corrupt the electorate, to pollute
the air with the sophistry of the Hoovers.

Let every reader of the Daily Worker i'm
mediately rush funds to our national cam
paign headquarters so that the last three
weeks may be marked by an ever increasing
defiance to the forces of reaction and terror.
Let every individual contribute as much as
possible and also induce labor fraternal, CO.
operatives and other working class organiza-
tons to make quick contributions
This is an emergency situation that re-
quires emergency action.

Resist the Capitalist Terror

The final stage of the 1928 election cam
paign is marked by the uneashing of the
most ruthless capitalist terror against the
working class. The past week has been
marked by so many attacks against the cleo
ton campaign of the Workers (Communist)
Party that the mere recital of them reads
like the narrative of years ordinary de-
velopment.
AS the campaign draws to a close a ver-
liable avalanche of money is turned into the
campaign funds of the old parties and their
supporting organs: the capitalist press, the
radio, the pulpit, the moving picture in
dustries. Every conceivable means of pub
hcity is utilized to the limit for the purpose of
spreading the poison virus of capitalist illu-
sions. Besides the funds spent directly
through open channels there are countless
subterranean forces modified against the
campaign of the Party of the class struggle
the Party of the Hammer and Sickle-the
Party of working class revolution.
The American Legion, the Ku Klux Khan,
the catholic hooligans of the Knights of Col
umbus, the gangsters the gunner, the thugs
of every variety are modified against the
Party of the working class. Election time
is the period in which the whole riff-raff of
capitalist society, the very scum of the earth,
is openly bought to defend the interests of
the upper strata of capitalist society
1t is not at all strange that our Party has
Tbeen attacked in the South We have for the
affirst time invaded that territory with a direct
! appeal to the racial and class interests of
, the Negro masses, the most exploited sec
! ton of American society. Nor is it sur
prising that our meetings should be sup
pressed and our candidates arrested in Will
mington, Delaware, the dynasty of the Du-
Pont powder and chemical trust, on this
identical Negro issue. Wretchedly paid, hor-
ribly exploited Negro labor is depended upon
to keep the wheels of the munitions plants
turning. The Party that strikes at the
powder and chemical trust strikes at the very
heart of imperialist war preparations Nor
is it at all extraordinary that the railroad in
terests, the grain trust and the packing
house trust should unite to prevent our Party

HENRI BARBUSSE ON
FASCIST ESPIONAGE

have always taken the part of the
Italians prosecuted by fascism, deem
it to be our sacred duty to react to
the utmost of our powers on the
atrocities committed by the brutal
monster of fascism.
THE inquiry into the Milan as
sassination brought US to the con-
clusion sthat the participants were
themselves fascists, and that the
Canton of Tessin is one of the most
important fulcrums for the whole
of the work of fascist provocatory
organization. Our investigation of
the blacklist depths of the police
centre of Pavia, headed by Com
mendatore Nudi, one of the leading
personages of the ministry of in
terror affairs at Rome, and respon-
sible author of all the atrocities COM
mitted in the course of the second
half of 1927 and the first half of
1928, placed sufficient proof in our
hands to show that Lugano is a
stronghold of the fascist criminals
cooperating in fascist provocation.
One of Commentators Nudi's i'm
mediate collaborators has. been Com
mendatore Pacenza, who occupied the
post of vice CONSUL and secretary
in the Italian consulate at Lugano.
After having officially laid down
this post at Lugano to take up work
in the service of the secret police in
Italy again, this Pacenza visited
Lugano from time to time, in order
to instruct his isubordinates, and
sometimes travelled to Paris. It was
Commentators Pacenza who tried
personally to force confessions, and
to buy dispositions to the effect
that Italian fugitives in Switzerland
had taken part in the Milan assas-
sination. 1t was Pacenza who caused
the Swiss citizen Hofmeier to be ar
rested and beaten in Como, and at
tempted to press from him a con-
fession, on a fantastic plot supposed
to have been formed against the
security of the Fascist state.

BERLIN (By Mail. 1.-THE COM
mittee for the defense of the victims
of Fascism, headquarters in Paris, an
organization of which many intel
lectuals of worldwide fame are mem
bers, and which works under the
presidency of Henri Barbusse, has
sent the following letter to the cen
trail committee of the Anti Fascist
Alliance in Switzerland:
1--WE are fully convinced that the
alarm which you called a few days
ago: Danish Mussolini's agents
from Switzerland, will meet with
the support of wide strata of the
Swiss population. We long since ex-
pressed our surprise that the fascist
spies and provocateurs are given
freedom and immunity for their ac-
tivities on Swiss soil. We have
long known that plots and intrigues
are being carried on by these ele-
ments on Swiss territory, and have
not been confined to the persecution
of Italian political fugitives, but are
injurious to Switzerland itself. To
the impartial observer it appears as
If the Helvetian republic has sunk
to level of servility towards Mus
solini only equalled by that of AL
bania, where favorite of the fascist
system has just been raised to the
dignity of king. How is it possible
that the black shirts, in spite of the
information repeatedly lodged
against them, have been able to
spread to such an extent in the most
important centres? How is it that
the fascists have been able to per-
NIT themselves such impudent be-
havior as that most crassly evil
denced in the abduction of Cesare
Rossi?
1--WE, who have brought to the
light of day, with unwearying tenac-
ity, every delinquency and deed of
violence committed by Italian
fascism; we who have overcome Hhe
apathy which makes so many human
beings indifferent to events, and who

solidarity.
3.-Governor Campbell asked for
federal troops-but an army officer
after looking over the situation, said
that all was peaceful and no federal
troops were necessary.
4.-Early July IL, the sheriff and
large armed force of about 2 900
men, rounded up 1,186 men, put them
in cars and carried them to Col
umbus, New Mexico. But the au-
thorities at Columbus refused to let
them dump the men there and the
train carried them to the desert
town of Hermandad, New Mexico.
The deported were without ade-
quate supply of food and water and
shelter for two days. Here the men
were abandoned. On July Ia the war
department escorted these men to
Columbus, New Mexico, where they
were maintained by the government
until the middle of September.
According to the army census the
composition of the deported were as
follows: 1919 native born Americans;
486 citizens; 472 registered under
draft; 433 married; 141 British; 80
Serbians; 179 Slavs.
6.-The sheriff carried out the de-
portation. This was decided on July
IL by managers and other officials
of the Copper Queen Consolidated
Mining Co. phelps Dodge Corpora
tion) and the Calumet and Arizona
Mining Co.
Those carrying out the depor-
tation prevented any news of it
reaching the outside world.
8.-The deportation was wholly il
legal.
And after all this the commission
makes the following recommended
tions: 1. All illegal practices must
cease. 2. Asks the president to
pass law making such deportation in
the future a criminal offense under
the federal law. And that's all--not
a single recommendation to redress
the crimes committed against these
1,200 workers.
No Action Taken.

The federal government has never
passed law against such deporta-
tons. The 1900 workers who suf-
fered indescribable hardships and
many families who were deprived
of their husbands through death
from hardship and exposure result
ing from the atrocity were in no
way taken care of. Today the terror
against labor still RACES in Arizona,
Texas, and other states Of that re-
gion, as is to be seen from the con-
spiracies against the campaign tour
of Ben Gitlow, vice-presidential can
didate on the Workers (Communist)
Party ticket.
The workers of the southwest and
of other parts of the country who
are victims of this organized fright
fulness must realize that only re-
evolutionary party of labor, only the
Workers (Communist) Party can
fight effectively against this sort of
thing.

The red ribbons were also to hand.
At six o'clock the next morning,
the 7th of November we were all up

was carried out, the warders con-
tented themselves with looking
through the spyhole. With anxiety
we awaited the hour for exercise.
The time came and passed and we
were not called out. We protested.
The warders then proposed that we
should remove the ribbons. Never!

rades commenced three day
hunger strike as a protest, number
of them were again beaten. Finally
they were all taken to the lazarette.
The beatings had been so brutal that
many of the comrades were i'll for
a long time and some Of them were
even in danger of death. The women
political prisoners were also not
treated with kid gloves. For four
days we had no strawsack, no cover
ing and no clothing of our own. Our
life developed in this period between
the lazarette and the cells. As soon
as one comrade left the lazarette
another was sent in from the cells.
1t is difficult to write about things
which are still so fresh in the
memory. 1t is sad to think of all
our comrades, fighters for a bet

suffering in the prisons. The strug-
gle is difficult, but those who have
once entered upon the path of the
irreconcilable struggle may never
look back. So

ONE October evening l was arrest
ed after search had been made
in my room. Despite the fact that
nothing suspicious" was found, I
was arrested. When l threw in my
lot with the Party l knew very well
that one day the time would come
when l would have to say farewell
to my freedom. When l was ar
rested l did not lose courage but
remained cheerful. Only when I
met the other comrades in the police
station and saw all who had been
arrested, did my heart begin to sink.
The idea that our ranks had been
broken up depressed me.
We were locked in a cellar usu-
ally reserved for DRINKS and in
capables,. There l met seven of our
young comrades. They were all lean
ing against the wall, for there was
nowhere to sit down.
The Examination"
Finally the examination COM

fourth day we were taken to prison
under strong escort. From there
we were then taken to Petrokoff.
Solitary Confinement.
We arrived in Petrokoff in the
evening. At the prison doors we
were received by large numbers of
warders. After a very detailed
search we were placed in solitary
cells. These cells are small, three
metres long and two metres wide
The window is high up in the cell
with heavy iron grating in front
of it. All that was in the cell was a
bed and a table fixed to the wall.
In the Cell.
The prison bell sounded and soon
after we could hear the sound of
keys and the heavy steps of the
warders. The lock creaked and the
iron-bound door opened. A warder
handed me basin.

sinking mass of something or the
other. Supper! l had not eaten for

liked to have slept, but the bed
frame was still locked against the
wall. Prison life is severe, but those
who fightfor their class, must learn
to suffer.
The Warder's Tramp.
Later the prison bell sounded
again. The signal to go to bed. The
beds were unlocked and let down
from the wall. The prison sunk into
silence. l lay down on the bed and
tried to sleep. The mattress was
hard and | could not close my eyes.
Through the window of the cell the
light from the lamp in the prison
yard fell through. The lamp burns
the whole night. The tramp Of the
patrolling warders sounded from the
prison yard. l longed for the morn

essary to discuss how we could cele-
brate the day.
Finally l slept. l was awakened
by the loud voice of the warder:
"Get up!" The warder brought me
a piece of bread as black as coal and
cup of bitter coffee. I ate all the
bread and drank the coffee in gulps,

Suddenly l heard women's voices

minutes only when one of the COM
mon criminals who do the work of
the prison passed close to me and
threw a little pellet of bread at my
feet. I let fall my handkerchief and
picked it up again together with
the bread. Impatiently I awaited
the end of my exercise. 1t was news
from my comrades in the same
prison.
Upon my return to the cell |
found a slip of paper inside the
bread pellet. The slip contained the
program for the 7th of November

Anti-Union League.
On July %, at a secret meeting,
the delegates of the Business Mems

organized the so-called State Loyalty

was the crushing of all labor unions

in the organization under penalty

to be covered by patriotism"

Arizona Maintains It's Old Traditions

The plot of the Arizona open-shoL
hoodlums in the American Legion
Ku Klux Khan, the city police anc
newspapers to stop the campaign
of the Workers (Communist) Party
is in keeping with the tradition OF
that state. Arizona's principal in
dustry is copper mining. These
mines are among the greatest in the
world, the largest of which is the
United Verde.
In the town of Bisbee, Arizona,
occurred one of the most fragrant
acts of terrorism in the whole his
tory Of American labor struggles
In reviewing this case the American
Labor Year Book for 1917-18 says
in part:
On July u, 1917, 1900 men con-
nected with the strike of the copper
mines in the Globe-Miami district in
Arizona, were rounded up by a
Vigilance Committee" organized by
the business men of Bisbee and de-
ported from the town into the des-
ert.
At the same time a concerted
movement against the l. w. w. de-
veloped throughout the southwest.
Famed War Hysteria.
Eastern newspapers, notably the
New York Times and the Herald
Tribune made it appear that the
1000 deported strikers were all l.
w. w. adherents and that they were
all engaged in a conspiracy to de-
feat the war aims of the United
States. For this reason they con-
demned these men without a hear
ing extolling the patriotic action

A careful investigation of the
situation carried on by a committee
of the Arizona A. f. of L., consisting
