of political parties and officials and
employees of the federal and state
governments to boycott the news
paper, Excelsior, which has made a
hero and a martyr out of Jose de

An official government statement,

Excelsior, said that the newspapers
accounts were an encouragement to

The statement added that no gov

REDS SUMMONED
BEFORE COURTS
IN ADLER CASE
Injunction Fight on at
Milwaukee

MILWAUKEE,, Nov. 8. - Two
members of the Workers (Commu.
MISTY Party, sub district organizer
BENJAMIN Sklar and Samuel Henri
man were subpoenaed for appear.
ance before Judge Gustav Gehrz, tc
testify on injunction violations ir
the strike against the Adler Cloth
ing Co. The Amalgamated Clothing
Workers Union is conducting the
strike here for many months.
Since the beginning of the strike
the two Communists have been car.
rying on a campaign of propaganda
among the members of the Anal.
gamated, most Of whom are on
strike, to conduct the fight in a
militant way as the only method of
winning the struggle against the
open shop firm. Their advocacy of
open violation of the federal injunc-
ton taken out by the bosses, was
fought not only by the capitalist
police but also by the reactionary
officials of the Amalgamated. Now
they are being called to testify in
court on violations.
Turnout the long months of bitter
and futile struggle against the Adler
firm, (futile because of the coward
ly methods of the right wing), the
local A. C. w. members have learnt
to follow the left wing leaders in
their proposals. Last Saturday
night large number of strikers,
under the leadership of Sklar and
Herman, conducted a spirited de-
monstration in front of the home
of the injunction Judge, F. A.
Geiger.
Only since the left wing gained
influence and following among the
strikers, did the strike take on an
aspect of life and hope for victory.
Workers here look forward to the
testimony they will render when
they appear in court. 1t is believed
that they will openly defy the right
Of a judge to abrogate the constitu-
tional rights of the strikers to picket,
and that they will express their in
tention to further violate the in
junction.

)JAIL, TORTURE
PERSIAN REDS
Communist League in
Protest

One of the best and most fearless
comrades in the Persian revolution
airy working class movement has
been murdered by the Persian gov.
eminent. Comrade Hedjazi, a mem
Der of the illegal Communist Party
and Young Communist League OF
Persia, was imprisoned for his &C.
Invites. While in prison he was
cruelty tortured in order to compel
him to reveal information with re.
gard to the revolutionary movement
it's work and members. This he
steadfastly refused to do. His death
came as result of the police apply
! ing ice to his head for three success
sive days.
The torture and death of this COM
rade is but one incident typical of
the reign Of terror being conducted
by the Persian government against
the revolutionary movement. Many
revolutionary workers are at present
languishing in jail for such Grimes
as participating in the last May Day
celebrations, or as suspected" of
being members of the Young Com
munist League.
This brutal anti-working class ter
rorism is waged at the behest of and
on behalf of British Imperialism,
whose puppet the Persian govern
ment is. British imperialist oil inter
ests in Persia and the plan to use
Persia as a base for military OPP
erations against the Soviet Union
are responsible for collaboration of
the British and Persian bourgeoisie
against the Persian revolutionary
working class movement.
The Young Communist Leagues of
Britain and Persia unite in protest
ing against the murder of Comrade
Hedjazi, the continued Imprisonment
of the Persian comrades and the
White Terrorism exercised against
the workers organizations. Unitedly
we demand 1.-The release Of all i'm
prisoned comrades and call on the
working class youth of Persia and

ers' once-powerful organizations
Hillman's Amalgamated Bank and
the yellow Jewish Forward had each
given $4,000 to make up the balance
of the 100000 fund.
Not Rebuilt" But Destroyed.
In Baldwin's statement he de-
clares that the 100000 fund was col
lected by Schlesinger for rebuild
ing" the union. Schlesinger's ere
building" consisted of the hiring of
underworld thugs to slug and stab
left wing workers, who fought bit
terly to establish a real union after
the right wing had smashed the old
|. L. G. w. U. and had turned it into
virtual company union.
The statement by Baldwin, here
given in full, declares:
The story of the 100000 loan
to the |. L. G. w. U. to rehabili-
tate it after the 1926 strike was
told to me by an official in the
needle trades whose position pre-
vents his name being used. But
1t comes from such, an authorita-
tive source that there is no ques-
ton of its truth. The statement
made to me was in substance that
Benjamin Schlesinger some time
after the 1926 strike, the exact
date not being given, collected a
100000 fund on his own respon-
sibility to be used solely for re-
building the union. Of this amount
$4,000 was loaned by Colonel
Herbert Lehman, $4,000 by the
Daily Forward and $4,000 by the
Amalgamated Clothing Workers.
l reported this loan to the board
of directors of the American Fund
for Public Service because that
Fund loaned 100000 to the l. L.
G. w. U. during the 1926 strike.
1t is obvious that any such large
financial transaction as this re-
ported loan would interest the
Fund as the unions creditors. Sub
sequently, one of the directors of
the Fund checked up Colonel Leh-
mans loan and verified it. The.
other loans were. not verified by
the Fund directors but there is
no reason to doubt them. My
sole connection in reporting this
matter was as a director of he

Soviet Scientists
Discover Oil Fields

MOSCOW, U. S. S. R. (By MailD
The geological department of the
Soviet government has reported that
it has discovered rich oil deposits on
the island Of Sakhalin, a remote
island off Siberia. Official reports
say that the deposits compare favor
ably with the fields of Baku and
Grozny, which are among the rich
est in the world.
1t is believed that sufficient oil
can be obtained to establish an ex-
port trade to Japan and China and
to supply all Siberia. Plans are be-
ing made for the organization Of a
company to develop these vast
tracts.
