Contrary to popular opinion that

not only given the chance, but &C
tually provided with a job to start,
according to Secretary John j..
Brown of the State charities board.
In a survey, recently published by
the board, it is pointed out that
there were 21,219 men and women
released from Indiana State Prison,
Indiana State Reformatory and In
diana Woman's Prison between Nov.

Seventy-f1ve per cent of these were
released on parole, Brown points
out. That means that they were
actually assured Of a job, before they
left the institution.
Another fallacy is. that these per-

COLOMBIA SELLS
out TO U. S. OIL
Standard Wins Right
of Exploitation

BoGOTA, Colombia, Dec. 17.-In
further capitulation to the Yankee
imperialists the Colombia regime of
Mendez Abadia has signed an agree
ment with the Tropical Oil Com
pany, subsidiary of Standard Oil,
granting freedom in the exploitation
of oil fields in return for cash pay
ments to the government.
The Tropical will attempt avoid
ing to pay the 10 per cent oil tax
by pushing its case into the supreme
court and obtain ruling that the
tax is not applicable to crude cils.
The growing influence of Wall
Street in Colombia has finally led to
imperialist control and the accom-
panying suppression of all radical
labor activities. AS American oil
influence grew in Colombia its gov
ernment came across with series
of anti-labor and anti-Communist
legislation. The complete subjuga-
tion of the Latin-American govern
ment to Wall Street is evident in
the war waged by Colombia against
the strikers on the plantations of
the United Fruit Company.

STRIKE IS LIKELY
IN RHODE ISLAND
Mill Workers Demand
Fight on Hours

PAWTUCKET, R. l., Dec. IT,
The movement for a general strike
in Rhode Island textile factories is
fast being crystalized by the Ma.
tional Textile Workers Union here
which is calling for a fight against
the general wage reduction recent
ly enforced as we'll as for a fight
against the 54 hour week.
With attempts to dampen the tre-
mendous sentiment for a strike de-
feated, the reactionary United Tex
tile Workers Union now fears to
come out openly against a struggle
but is instead trying to give the i'm
preston that they are at the head
of the anti-wage cut movement.
( Officials Soft-Pedal.
The U. T. w. attempts to quiet
the strike sentiment took the form
of telling the workers to accept the
wage cut, but "protest" against it
More than that, in a mill where the
U. T. w. has a local, the workers
recently ordered to a 54-hour weel
from one of 48, were told by the
officialdom not to strike but to stor
work each Saturday. This scheme
would have been a severe blow tt
the bosses, but would have giver
them an opportunity to weed out
the most active militants, woult
have meant a reduction in their pay
and, most important, demoralize the
then big sentiment for strike.
The National Textile Workers
Union, ,on the other hand, has beel
extremely active in rousing tn,
workers to disregard the sell-ou
instructions of the U. T. w., ant
fight against the unbearable work
ing standards the bosses were fore
ing on them. To this end man.

ARRESTS ANGER
PHILA. WORKERS
I3 Anti m p erialist
Pickets Held

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 17.--Wide-
spread Indignation is being eX-
pressed by the workers of this city
at the high-handed manner in which
40 of the 43 workers arrested Sat
urday at a demonstration against
the United Fruit Company have been
jailed. The cynical manner in which
the laws of her own courts were
violated by the woman magistrate,
Fahnestock, is opening the eyes of
many workers to the true function
of the capitalist legal machinery.
Magistrate Fahnestock violated
legal procedure in the following
ways: she denied the workers trial
by jury; she refused to allow them
to see a lawyer; and she refused to
give bail to 40 of those arrested.
She also refused to allow the ar
rested workers to testify and added
a charge of contempt of court when
they insisted on telling their stories.
Magistrate Fahnestock character
lied the demonstrators as "a bunch
of foreigners" and said contempto-
ously: you're mostly all Russians;
l don't believe there's citizen in
the crowd"
Three of those arrested~were re-
leased on 5000 bail, wkile the 4C
others were sentenced to 80 days in
Moyamensing Prison, one of the
most notorious dungeons in the
country. They were handcuffed and
taken to Jail Immediately after be-
ing sentenced.
Incidentally, the demonstration
was practically boycotted by the
capitalist press.
The International Labor Defense
is attempting to secure their release
on bail. The l. L. D., in a statement
declares that the arrest of the de
monstrators is another evidence Of
the increasing fascist character Of
the United States government anc

suppress all criticism of the murder.
