DEFY POLICE BY
SACC0 MEMORIAL
Jail 6 Martins Ferry
Workers

CLEVELAND, Aug. 81. - Six
workers were arrested and Jailed,
amid the jeers of a crowd of thou
sands of workers, when a Sacco-
Vanzetti meeting was held at Mar
tins Ferry on Aug. 25 in spite of
the orders of the police and mayor
that the meeting was not to be held.
When the Martins Ferry local of
the International Labor Defense an
nounced that they were going to
hold their meeting the chief of po-
lice Immediately issued orders
against "any Sacco- Vanzetti meet
ings being held in Martins Ferry"
Carl Hacker, State Secretary of the
|. L. D., announced Immediately
through the same papers that a
meeting would be held in spite of
the orders of the police.
BY seven o'clock thousand work
ers had collected at the corner of
Main and Center Streets. The entire
police force of Martins Ferry, a
number of railroad detectives and
special deputies who had been sworn
in for service that evening were also
present.
When Hacker mounted the speak
ers' stand he was Immediately ar
rested by the police. Frank Sepich,
the next speaker, was not even al
lowed to open his mouth. Frank
Henderson, John Cicci, Charles
Guynn and Kenckas Trysech, who
were selling Sacco-Vanzetti litera-
ture, were also rushed into the pa
troll wagon. The crowd was partial
~ dispersed and the speakers were
hurried to the Martins Ferry Jail.
The crowd collected about the jail
and began to sing revolutionary
songs together with the prisoners
who could be seen through the bars
of their windows. Finally the police
considered the crowd so menacing''
that a special night court was called
and all the prisoners were arraigned
and charged with ''inciting to riot,
unlawful assembly" attempting to
hold meeting which was menace
to public safety" and few other
charges.
They were taken to the county
Jail, followed by two carloads of
deputies armed with sawed-off shot
guns and rifles in full view. At the
county jail the men were held until
Tuesday noon, when they were re-
leased on bond of $1,000 each, pend
ing action by the County Grand Jury
which convenes Sept. II.

sal Of Shop Chairman IN Brooklyn Shoe Factory ANSWERED 10O6 Waou
0USTED FOR HIS
union ACTIVITY,
men RETALIATE
Hires New Men, But
They Join Union

Because the shoe manufacturing
firm Of S. Lieberman and Co., 81
Hope ST., Brooklyn, tried to chal-
lenge the strength Of the union by
discharging general chairman Abe
Meishon, for his union activities,
the bosses are now faced it'll an
empty factory due to the immediate
walkout of the entire force of 10
workers. At yesterdays Joint
ouncil meeting of the Independent
Show Workers Union of Greater
New York, the strike of the work
ers in the factory was unanimously
sanctioned and Organizer j.. Maglia-
cano put formally in charge of the
situation.
Demand Reinstatement of Chairman.
At the last meeting of the work
ers strike machinery was organic
ed and systematic pickteing was
instituted. The demand put for
ward by the workers at their meet
ing is the reinstatement of the gem
eral chairman. A strike committee,
chosen from among the workers in
the shop, was also elected as the
official body to decide any questions
that may come up.
The remarkable unanimous de-
monstration of solidarity shown by
the workers when they walked out
of the factory augers well for a
successful termination to the strike.
A complete defeat was suffered
by the factory owners when they
tried to break the strike by insert
ing advertisements for craftsmen to
take the strikers places. The ads
were answered by applicants, but
not only did they refuse to work
when they saw strike in effect,
but nearly all of them Immediately
went to sign up with the union.
The Independent Shoe Workers
Union of Greater New York was
only recently established and is now
about to launch a city-wide cam
paign to recruit members.
Union Growing.
This union, protesting a policy
of answering struggle against the
employers for the improvement of
working standards, is growing by
leaps and bounds in influence as
well as membership. A statement
issued by that organization requests
the publication of warning to all
shoe workers to keep away from the
strike-bound shop of Lieberman and
Co.

'STIMSON ACTION
seen AS RUBBER
GRABBERS' MOVE
Form Council to Coerce
Opposition

MANILA, Sept. 2.-Action which
leaders of the opposition see as de-
signed to spike their resistance to
the American governments effort
to increase the acreage that in
vestors may lease under Philippine
laws was taken by Governor Cen
eral Henry Stimson yesterday, with
the issuance of an order creating an
executive council. The council pur-
ports to be means for furthering
cooperation between the executive
and legislative branches of the
Philippine administration.
Though a purely advisory body,
critics of the governor generals ac-
ton see in the move an attempt to
coerce and silence rather than CO.
operate.
Talk of cooperation is futile
anyway" one Filipino leader as
serted yesterday, while the ques-
ton of complete independence for
the islands is held in purposeful
allegiance by the United States au-
thorities.
"The creation of the council is
merely another way to coerce the
opposition to the land lease, increase
legislation and to silence opponents
of the measure in the house and
senate"
The new body replaces the old
enc broken up in 1928 after it at
tempted to protest against what it
termed Governor-General Woods
high-handed actions.
Members of the council will in
dude such pro-American Filipinos
as Manuel Quezon and Senator Os-
mena.

ACTIVITIES CROW
IN HARLE NJ RED
ELECTION DRIVE
Hundreds of Sig n :
lures Collected

The Red Election Campaign is ad-
vancing by leaps and bounds in Har-
lem. One member of the Harlem
Section of the Workers (Communist)
Party, Comrade Joe Kiss, himself.
obtained three hundred and sixty
signatures. Another Harlem Cam
paigner, Harold Williams, obtained
two hundred signatures, thus giving
to Harlem the distinction of contain
ing the two highest scores made
thruout the city.
In the drive recently made by
Albert Moreau, Harlem Campaign
Director, for the participation of
every member of Section in the
signature drive, one member, Harry
Pollack, excused his absence in the
drive by his working overtime, and
donated to the Red Election Fund
the $13.40 earned by his overtime
work. eff l am not working for
our campaign in one way, l am in
another" wrote Pollack in sending
the money.
At a Harlem Campaign Confer
end held recently at lab East 103rd
Street, at which twenty-one Harlem
functionaries were present, a general
Tightening up of the signature drive,
literature sales, and general propa-
ganda work was discussed. 1t was
resolved at the conference to double
the number of open-air meetings
held in Negro Harlem. With the
end of the summer vacations at
hand, the number of Red Campaign
ers active in Harlem will be con-
siderably increased and the results
of the campaign are expected to
show much greater number of sig
natures in the next three weeks.
The outstanding achievement to
the credit of the Harlem Campaign
Committee, is the Negro Election
Bulletin published by Section A,
called "The Challenge. Under the
symbol of firm handclasp by one
colored and one white hand, the first
issue of "The Challenge" is "dedi-
Gated to the interests of the work
ers of Harlem, white and colored."
The makeup of "The Challenge"
is pleasing, and it is. enlivened by
cartoons showing the discrimination
against colored workers. The bull
letin, or perhaps it should be called
miniature magazine, it containing
twelve pages, goes right to the heart
of ke problems met daily by Negro
workers and cites the platform of
the Workers (Communist) Party
which is meeting these problems
squarely, urging all Negro workers
to support the candidates and plat
form of the Workers (Communist)
Party in the 1928 elections.

FASCISTS SEIZE
HALLS, HOMES
Report Growing I'm
rest In Catalonia

MADRID, Sept. ARRESTS of
workers and Communists caught in
g police drag-net, nationwide in
extent, have been begun here as the
anniversary of the seizure of die
tatorial power by Primo de Rivera
approaches.
Scores of arrests have already
been made in this city and in Bar
celona, although the police are en-
ploying the utmost caution to cloak
their activities.
Not only police descent upon
union halls and the headquarters of
labor and fraternal organizations
suspected of labor sympathies, but
house to house searches and seizures
are being made.
The police expect serious dis
turbances on the anniversary and
are taking every precaution in the
disposition of troops and police eff
fectives to Illustrate attempts at
outbreak.
Though it had been originally an
nounced that Primo de Rivera
would utilize the occasion to an
nounce new program for the COM
ing year, it is believed now that he
may postpone it.
Reports from Barcelona state
that section of the country is in
state of general unrest. The strict
censorship in Catalonia has pre-
vented the sending of more complete
details.

MOSCOW
CAPITAL OF USSR
World Tourists Plan
Adversary Visit

Moscow, visitors agree, is one of
the most fascinating cities in the
entire world. Like Cairo, it seems to
be the melting-pot of nations. Here
East meets West; Europe mingles
with Asia. Arriving in the suburbs,
with their wooden structures, the
newcomer might believe that he was
entering a large village; but this
error is soon dispelled. The wooden
houses give way to beautiful stone
mansions, six OF seven stories high
whole streets of them-and church
spires and towers rise everywhere
all dominated by the Kremlin, which
guards the city like huge fortress.
Brilliant Aspect.
In Moscow there is a mingling of
nationalities such as exists in few
great cities of the earth. For ex-
ample, the representatives of Asiat-
ic tribes in brilliant or ornamental
costumes always give an Oriental
aspect to the street crowds. Nova
days, practically all important polit-
ical congresses and sessions of the
Union of Soviets are held in Mos
COW; thus the delegates come here
from distant regions, wearing their
national costumes. Also, Moscow
has become the chief city of Russia
in the matter of parades, demon
strations and celebrations. There is
a particular evidence of gaiety on
the revolutionary anniversaries. The
buildings are decorated and the
streets are Illuminated. An official
declaration once said: "The com
bination of the Russian spirit and
that of the Orient with socialist in
ternational traits gives to the city
AL inimitable individuality and a new
aspect"
Red Square.
At the Red Square, opposite the
Kremlin, three of the principal thor
oughfares run parallel and are the
chief arteries of trade, making what
is known as "The City" Many of
the bus lines and trans meet in Red
Square, and in this connection it
will be of interest to note that Mos
cow has as fine buses as New York,
London or Paris.
"See Soviet Russia for Yourself"
is the watchword which many Amer
leans are adopting lately. The
World Tourists, Inc, is arranging a
new popular tour to the Soviet Union,
via London, Copenhagen, Helsing-
fors, Leningrad, Moscow. Return
ing, passengers will visit Minsk,
Warsaw, Berlin and Paris.
The party will sail on the S. S.
"Mauretania" on Oct. II, leaving in
time to witness the celebration of
the 18th anniversary of the Novem-
Der Revolution. The World Tourists,
Inc, are agents of the Travel Blu
reau of the Soviet Government, and
every assistance is thus available
for American travellers.

PHILA. WORKERS
FLOUT POLICE
To Hold Red Election
Rally and Picnic

Continued from Page One
copy of the charge against Lazar.
"This is clear evidence that the
police go to any length to victimize
the leaders of the workers, who
want to organize the workers for
struggle against their class enemies
and against the parties of business,
the republican ana democratic par
ties"
Capitalist Justice Denounced.
Herbert Benjamin, district organ
izer of the Workers (Communist)
Party, has issued statement on
the wholesale arrest of Philadelphia
Communists whenever they hold an
open-air meeting, for which they
ere granted permits by the police
department. The statement declares
that "the Mellon-Vare republican
party machine in control of the state
and city government has apparently
determined on policy of crushing
working-class opposition by means
of police terror"
Revolutionary Aims.
"The Workers (Communist) Party
makes no secret of it's revolutionary
aims. We declare and organize for
a revolutionary reorganization Of
society; for transferring the owner
ship of industry and administration
of government to the producers, the
workers and farmers.
Nor does our Party profess any
Illusions as to the character of cap
italist democracy. We know through
bitter experience in scores of strikes
and political struggles, through the
Infamous frame-up of which such
valiant working-class fighters as
Sacco and Vanzetti, Mooney and
Billings, etc, have been the victims,
that capitalist democracy is a cloak
for brutal dictatorship of the
bankers and big manufacturers and
other members of the capitalist
class.
"The lawlessness and brutality of
the police has demonstrated to thou
sands Of workers who have wit
messed this the validity of the claims
OF our Party, that capitalist law
and justice means only persecution
and oppression for the workers"

SEASON DEFINITELY
CLOSED ON GROUSE
AND ON PARTRIDGE

The season for hunting cartridges
or ruffed grouse will remain defin-
itely closed this year, under pro-
clamation issued by Governor Chris
Hanson May 10, 1927, it was pointed
out by the State Game and Fish de-
partment.
Many inquiries have been address,
ed to the department on the subject,
and many people are under the mis-
apprehension that the season will be
open. The governors orders, how
ever, which also prohibits the taking
of upland plover and woodcock is eff
fective until the season of the 1929
legislature.
Increase of ruffed grouse and par
fridge over the state is barely notice
able, over last year, according to re-
ports made to the department. In
no event is the increase sufficient to
justify an open season until possibly

Take Care OBJECT
Says Minnesota
Health Specialist

A foot pinched in youth will result
in a hobbling person in later life.
''This trouble can be easily averted
by a little attention to the feet of
children" declares the health COM
mittee bulletin of the State Medical
Association issued today. a recent
survey of 225 children in one public
school showed that 50 walked i'm
properly; 154 wore faulty shoes
(mostly too short); AZ had weak feet
and ankles; II had flat feet; 13C
wore stockings too short and III
showed no care of the nails.
"Most of the deviations from the
normal were of a nature which could
have been prevented or such that they
could have been corrected if discover
ed early, and proper treatment given
When neglected such defects tend to
cripple and to impair permanently
the health and efficiency of those af-
fected. In view of the facts that ov-
er two-thirds of all children entering
school have multiple physical defects
go per cent showing foot defects) it
is apparent that health agencies
should carry their campaign of health
education to parents at the very be-
ginning of parenthood.
"Foot hygiene should include the
daily foot bath, frequent changing
and nightly airing of stockings.
Stockings should be carefully fitted,
should conform to normal foot lines,
and should be sufficiently long and
broad to permit toe spread and for
ward foot drive. Be sure that the
soles are pliable and the inside lines
straight. For the first shoe the soft
mocassin should always be selected
and the soles should be flexible and
without heels usually up to the eighth
year.
every careful attention should be
given to the nails. They should be
cut straight across flush with the
fleshy part of the toe, never in at
the corners as this pre-disposes to
infection and ingrowing nails. They
should be smoothed with file af-
ter cutting. A foot brush is as
necessary as hand brush and should
be used especially on the nails and
soles of the feet. Foot exercises in
infancy and in older children are i'm
portant in preserving the normal
shape and condition of the feet.
attention to these suggestions
early in life will mean in the ma
jority of cases, normal feet. Other
wise it may result in faulty mechan-
ism of the entire body. Foot exam

teaching of proper foot use should be
especially emphasized in connection
with the physical training activities

The War Department has approved
plans of the Minnesota State High
way Department for a bridge across
the Minnesota river eleven miles east
of Morgan. This bridge will be part
of Trunk Route No. 70 which runs
from Sleepy Eye to Hector. The
road is to be rebuilt and considerable
of the distance will be relocated. The
new bridge will be about mile and
a half below the present Cummins
bridge at Fort Ridgely. The new
route will be shorter and the drive
up and down the river bottom will be
eliminated. A heavy fill is contem-
plated and the road will go quite dir

the Highway Department have not
been announced but there are indica-
tions that bids on the work may be
called for next year.-Morgan Mes
