International Organizers, Interna-
tional Auditors, all testified and used
every known means in the attempt to
send Sam Bonita to the electric chair.
Bonita appeared to be on trial for
the murder of Frank Agati, a con-
tractor of the number colliery of
the Pennsylvania Coal Co., the per-
sonal body guard of President Cap
pelini of District and the district
organizer of district one of the United
Mine Workers of America. But this
is only the appearance. This shoot
ing occurred as the result of the tao
tics the machine of the Mine Workers
Union, led by Cappelini, has been
using against the rank and file for a
number of years.
Bonita frankly stated that he had
shot in self defense only after Frank
Agati had attacked him and had
pulled a gun and fired. Yet despite
all the proof which the defense showed
at the time of the trial, the state in
combination with the other three OPP
posing forces has succeeded in con-
vic,ing Bonita in frame-up case
Bonita's only crime was that he
fought against the coal operators
contractors and the Cappelini murder
machine; that he fought for the ranL
and file miners of District one and To-
cal union 1903. For this crime the
machine tried to send him where he

Machine Murder Campaign

organize the National Bonita Moleski-
MENDOZA Defense Committee and to
mobilize the workers thru district one
and the tri-district and even the In
ternational union for the defense of
Bonita Moleski-Mendola. In spite of
the sabatoge of the Brennan, Nc
Garry forces who deliberately did
everything possible to demoralize and
to break the united front movement
for the defense of these three
brothers our work has progressed.
The Save-the- Union movement with
the Defense Committee fought and
out-maneuvered the deliberate at
tempts on the part of the so-called OPP
positionists to the Cappelini machine
in district one who are no better than
the Cappelini machine itself.
The only reason that the Brennan
forces led by Brennan, Harris and
McGarry are fighting against the
Cappelini machine is because they are
out of office and the others are in
office. They have in some cases
acted as viciously as the Cappelini
machine.
Real Traitors.
At no time have the Brennan for
ces come out openly in favor OF
Bonita Moleski and MENDOZA; in fact
they were so treacherous as to attack
and try to break up the committee
which was modified to raise funds
and to mobilize the workers for the
defense of these three brothers. Al
one time during this period they
! openly attacked the committee, il
spite of the fact that they themselves
did nothing to help our brothers. The
only force that sincerely worked fol-
these brothers was the force led by
the Save-the-Union Committee.
Now that Bonita has been convicted

we have all the more reason TO eax9y

the fight against all the enemies Of
the miners who have been exposed in
the past struggles.
We must now not allow the same
thing to happen to our other brothers
as happened to Mooney and Billings
and to other class war prisoners.
The movement for the freedom Of

leadership Of the Bonita-M oleska and

Urges Negroes
Fight Fascist
Organization
Editor. DAILY WORKER:

A group of Negroes, former mem
bers of the British West India reg
iment, have organized an association
in New York known as the West
Indian War Veterans under the pat
ronage of Sir Harry Armstrong,
British consul in New York. The as
ISOLATION held a ceremony Of present.
ing the colors on April Is.
It is difficult to see how these
Negroes can reconcile their present
status as an oppressed racial group
and exploited colonial people with
this militaristic display. These men
should know that they were the vic
tins of the last colonial imperialist
war. They should ask themselves
what benefit they have received,
either in the West Indies or America.
The general economic depression
that followed the world war brought
destruction to agriculture in the
Caribbean. The West Indies are still
under the yoke Of British and Amer
lean imperialism. 1t is time for these
befuddled colonial and American
Negroes to wake up and dispel their
illusions about capitalist govern
ments. Sir Harry Armstrong is the
paid agent of British imperialism,
and it is part of his diplomatic role
to patronize and hobnob with colonial
Negroes and encourage them to pro-
mote military organizations which
his government could use in the next
imperialist war. Negroes have moth
ing to gain in capitalist wars. Their
place is by the side of the workers
and the oppressed colonial people.

The Cappelini machine in District
one in order to stop the opposition
and to break the morale and the fight
ing Spirit of the miners, finds it neces-
sary to get rid of fighters opposing
them. For this purpose the machine
officials use machine guns, pump
guns, rifles and revolvers. In case
they do not succeed with this method
they begin to direct forces so as to
utilize the electric chair as in the case
of Bonita, Moleski and MENDOZA. On
January 10, the Cappelini machine in
combination with the contractors AND
the Coal Operators killed Thomas

The National Office of the Workers
(Communist) Party has just received
a letter from its representative at
the Communist international, j..
Louis Engdahl, former editor OF The
DAILY WORKER, who is now in
Moscow, U. S. S. R., in which ne
states:
There is a great lack of material
available for our European Commu-
mist press stating the actual facts
concerning the conditions of the
American working class. There is a
vast mass of propaganda material
pouring into Europe continually, that
is exploited to the limit by the capt.
talists and social-democratic press
seeking to create the impression that

toll short work-day, all as a result
of class collaboration and industrial
peace policies that have been put
into effect through joint action of the
workers and employers organiza-
tions. The effort is made to brighten
this picture of america" in compar-
ison to the dark picture the capital
lists seek to paint, through their press,
regarding conditions in the Soviet
Union. They have grown especially
frantic in this respect within recent
months because Of the true story OF
the conditions within the first work

"liquidating" this illiteracy. They
have made extraordinary progress.
rs late as 1922 there was still a
million members in the unions Of
manual workers who could neither
read nor write In 1911, so percent
of the mine workers, SO percent of
the wood workers and 80 percent Of
the agricultural workers, for exam
pie, were still illiterate. By 1926,
these had been reduced to 40, 6.5
and 1874 per. cents respectively, the
chief base of illiteracy S i'll being
among the seasonal elements in these
unions. Seasonal workers come from
villages and return to them at the
