KILLER is

CORONER'S JURY
Murder of Moran Is
Whitewashed After
Faxed Inquest
Red Hysteria Worked
Witnesses Intimidated
by Court
Especial to the Daily Worker


PITTSBURGH, Oct. a. - Louis
Carbonia, the Lewis machine killer
who murdered George Moran and
seriously wounded Carl and Theo-
dore Glovak, three delegates to the
National Miners Union convention
was released today following a mock
coroner's inquest at Washington,
Pa. A trumped up jury of six, all
attaches of the court house, OBJ
viously picked for the purpose of
effecting the acquittal of Carboni,
carried out the will of the coal op-
orator justice.
Red-Baiting Probe.
District Attorney Warren Burch-
inal turned the supposed inquest
into red-bating attack on the mill
tant miners. Instead of Coroner
Baker presiding the district attor-
ney took complete control of the
hearing and ruled on every ques-
ton. No attempt was made to find
the real facts behind the shooting.
Three-fourths of the inquest con-
sisted in a red batting attack intend
ed to create an atmosphere of
frenzy. The jury was urged to be-
lieve that Carbonia, the Lewis killer
had defended the flag of the United
States government. The district at
torney sought to make hero of
the killer.
Witnesses were intimidated and
their testimony cut off when they
showed signs of telling the truth.
Adam Getto, Labor Party candidate
for congress, and one of the eye
witnesses to the shooting who was
himself fired on by Carboni, was
questioned as to his belief in God.
When the militant miner replied
that he did not believe in God, the
prosecutor refused to hear any fur
ther testimony.
More Red Hysteria.
Objections by Henry Ellenbogen
the attorney for George Moran's
widow were followed by a hasty
whispered conference between the
district attorney and the coroner,
and several hours later Getto was
recalled for another hearing. This
time he was questioned on his
opinions about the United States
government.
1t became clear that the inquest
was used to secure information
from witnesses under oath about
alleged radical activities and by con-
fusing the issues to create the i'm
preston that the object of the new
mine union was to overthrow the
government.
The questions were not limited tc
the shooting but were directed tc
provide a basis for the white-wash
of the killer. Local papers. carry
headlines of red expose.

Especial to the Daily Worker)

tOpectUt 10 the D01ty w 0T6eTJ
LAKELAND, Florida, Oct. A.
Speaking for one hour at the con-
vention of the Brotherhood of Car
penters and Joiners, Morris Rosen,
militant carpenters leader of New
York City, delivered a stingiug ex-
posure of the corruption of the
Hutcheson machine, its betrayal of
the membership, its frame-up meth
pds and violation of the constitution
If the union.
In spite of the tremendous ap-
ylause which greeted Rosen at the
conclusion of his speech, which
threatened to carry the delegates
with the progressive program, the
officialdom by rallying to strong
arm squad and after a most ven
emous Red-baiting attack succeeded
in driving Rosen and a dozen other
delegates from the convention.
Force Hearing.
Mass pressure of the progressive
delegates present forced a hearing
for Rosen, who appeared on behalf
Of former Local 376 of New York,
which the Hutcheson machine
wrecked several years ago. Peter
thinner, delegate from Chicago,
moved that the representatives of
Local 376 be given a hearing. Sec
retary of the brotherhood, Frank
Duffy, sensing the feeling of the
convention, favored the request.
A. For over one hour, Rosen, who
sveral days previously had been
eaten up by a number of Hutche-
son thugs, delivered his scathing de-
nunciation Of the corrupt Hutcheson
machine. The embezzlers of funds
of Local 376, whom the progressives
in that local had fought against,
were cleared by Hutcheson in order
tc frame-up the progressives, Rosen
showed.
Exposes Hutcheson.
Hutcheson is not only irrespon-
sible and treacherous, but a delib-
crate liar when he ordered that Lo-
cal 376 violated the constitution of
the brotherhood, Rosen showed. The
local and its officers were perse-
cuted because Rosen had opposed
Hutcheson for the presidency of the
international.
II challenge anyone to disprove
one statement contained in our
booklet of appeal" Rosen declared,
referring to a printed statement of
the locals case which has been cir
culated among the carpenters. Ro-
sen urged the delegates to support
the appeal of the New York local.

BATTY RUEFUL.
AT SMALL VOTE
Arbitrator" Lets Cat
Out of Bag

NEW BEDFORD, Mass, Oct. A.
Leaders of the New Bedford Tex
tile Workers. Union smiled today
over the statement of William E.
G. Batty, secretary of the Textile
Council, that he is "at a loss" to
explain the small vote cast in the
recent balloting on the five per cent
wage-cut sell-out.
"He has been too busy spreading
stories that the workers want new
vote" one of the strikers in the 7.
W. u headquarters declared, "to
find out or he'd know that his or
ganizations are dying" Similar
comments are heard thruout the city
today.
Campaign Fails.
Announcement by secretaries of
the seven unions composing the Tex
tile Council that they were against
a new vote today evidenced the COM
plete failure of the Batty groups
attempt to spread abroad a cam
paign of lies discrediting the former
poll. The miserable showing of the
Batty unions at the polls and their
vote repudiating the Batty sell-out
and following the lead of the New
Bedford Textile Workers Union, are
compelling the takers to try to ex-
tricate themselves from their pres
ent position.
Canvass of the strikers in the
unions affiliated to the Textile
Council shows a growing resentment
that Batty should dare to question
their reputation of the five pei
cent wage cut The workers voted
the wage cut down decisively and
no substitute vote can serve any
other purpose than that of putting
over a sell-out, in the opinion OF
many workers. A smaller number
of voters would turn up should Bat
ty succeed in putting over his new
election stunt is the sentiment fire.

Everybody who wasn't too crippled
to crawl was there. Subways, 81"

into service to transport a huge
army of workers who swooped down
on Madison Square Garden and laid
siege to the great National Daily

opened last night.
As soon as the doors of the Gar
den were thrown open early in the
evening, they began pouring in.
More and more kept coming until

The great Garden was lined with
booth after booth, festively decora-

at prices that made even the feeb-
lest proletarian pocketbook expand
with joy. Each of the booths had
been prepared and the articles col
lected by one of the many working
class organizations that are CO.
operating in the bazaar. And every
one was manned by a squad of
workers.
