BAIL IS DENIED TO
YOUNG WORKER IN
U. S. GUARD HOUSE
|. L. D., Y. w. L. Launch
Huge Defense Drive

NEW BEDFORD, Mass, June I'll
The United States Army has been
called to the aid of the textile opera
tors in their efforts to break the
strike here.
John Porter, a weaver, Vice-Presi-
dent of the Textile Mill Committee,
and organizer of the Young Work
ers (Communist) League was turned
over to the military authorities
day before yesterday and is being
held in prison denied the right of bail.
He is to be court-martialed for hav-
ing left the army last year, after be-
coming conscious of the role of sol
diers in fighting their fellow workers.
Finger-Print Porter.
The role of the military authorities
in opposing the workers and the de-
termination to use every means to
get militant leaders of the masses be-
hind bars is shown by the fact that
the finger-prints of Porter, after his
arrest for participation in the strike
were compared with those who had
left the army without discharges
though the chances that he had been
in the army were small.
Porter is being held in the military
prison at Fort Rodman, and from
there he will be sent to Fort Adams
at Newport, R. l., or to Fort William
where he will be ''tried' by a genera
court-martial composed of army off
GERS specially selected for this pur-
pose by the military commander Of
the post.
Efforts will be made to deny al
civil rights and the War Department
does not permit it's Victims to present
any evidence in appeals to civi
courts.
The intervention of the army in the
effort to imprison Porter and to pre-
vent him from participation in the
textile strike follows repeated ar
rests for his militant struggle fol
the workers by civil authorities, anC
recently he was sentenced by Judge
Frank A. Milliken to five months II
Jail. He was on bail pending appeal
Among the crimes of Porter, as re-
ported in the capitalist press of New
Bedford, was that of collecting funds
for the striking workers.
Entered Army AS Boy.
Porter entered the army wher
hardly sixteen years Of age, and was
illegally accepted by the military
authorities because of their desire fol
more cannon fodder. At that time
he had no knowledge of the role OF the
army in defending imperialism ant
enslaving the working class. But fol-
Porter the service proved to be
school, and within two years he be
gan to realize the purpose for which
he was being used. At this time
however, he did not know that th'
task of militant workers in the arm!
is to expose the true nature of cap
italist militarism to his fellow sol
diers so that they will fight agains
the exploiters.

Soldiers are denied the constitu-

often for many months. This is being
