permission to write home and re-
ceive answers. Sozzi's wife and
father learned that Gastone was i'm
prisoned in Perugia. In vain did
they try to arrange a meeting with
him or, at least, for a lawyer to
visit him.
The exchange of letters between
the prisoner and his family lasted
for some time. Then again unen-

laconic notice from the police that
"Gastone Sozzj has committed sui

What happened to Sozzi?
Fascist Terror
When every means at the dis
posal of Rome TO obtain a confess
sion was employed and failed, more
awful tortures were invented. A
fascist chemist of Perugia suggested
TO the Blackshirts a new form of
neutrality-suspicious. of strong
iodine solution. Gastone Sozzi re-
ceived such injections. The iodine
transformed the bowels into sore
shreds. The prisoner fell uncon
scious. When he had regained con-
seriousness for a few moments he
was offered complete freedom and
a monthly stipend of 5000 lire if he
would take service with the fascist
police. Sozzi refused 1t now only
remained for the vile fascist Off
Gals to finish their work. On the
night between the 9th and It'll of
February Sozzi was murdered in his
cell
The autopsy of the body would
have revealed many things. But
Mussolini would not grant this to
Sozzi's father and wife, who had
hurried to Perueia with the child
Sergio as soon as they had heard
of his death. The relatives saw
Gastone Sozzi on his death bed in
a prison cell; and they also saw no
sign Of hanging on his neck. After
MANY days Of negotiations" be-
tween Perugia and Rome permission
was granted TO remove the coffin
to Cessna, the resting place of the
martyr. but no permission was
granted for burial Sozzi was
guarded by fascist sheriffs until he

PITTSBURGH, Pa, July 9.--Fol-
lowing the wage-slashing move of
the H. C. Prick Coke Company, coal
operators in the bituminous area are
launching a drive to cut still fur
Their the starvation wages they are

An unusually large number of
serious accidents have occurred at

reports received by the National
Miners Relief Committee.
John Motko, 4S, was killed Fri

There are no acknowledgment ol

The non-union miners, mostly Ne
groes imported from the south, live
in company houses penned in by
high walls. They buy their food in
company-owned stores with script
money coined by the operators, at
the price their store representatives
demand. 1t is such virtual peon-
age that thousands of bituminous
miners are striking against. The

Lip Service" But No
Real Action
(By Miner Correspondent

WlLh ES-BAh IKE, ia. (by MALI
AT the meeting of the General
Grievance committee of the Penn
sylvania Coal Co., at which local
unions from the following collieries
were represented: No. 6, Even
Central, No. 8, Butler, Barnum anC
No. ii, motion was presented to
declare a general strike of all the
collieries of the Pennsylvania Coal
Co.
Frank McGarry, the so-called new
president of District No. l of the
United Mine Workers of America
fought against this motion and the
meeting was adjourned with heat
ed discussion lead by delegates
from local unions Even and No.
who demanded a call for a general
strike.
Demand General Strike.
Miners who are employed by the
Pennsylvania Coal Co. demand a
general strike to force the COM
pany to eliminate contractors and
reopen the closed collieries, and pre-
vent the company from using me-
chanical leaders without adjusting
wages and shortening working
hours.
This shows McGarry is against a
general strike altho he says he is
in favor of closing every colliery in
District No. 1 if it is necessary to
eliminate the special mining con-
tract system, and to equalize the
work. Also to that effect resolu-
ton was adopted by the special dis
trict convention held recently in
Scranton.
McGarry's opposition today to the
strike proves that he is not willing
to fight for the interests of the min
ers; this new misleader of the min
ers already shows that the coal dig
gers must depend on their own
forces and not to depend on Nc
Garry, who only gives lip service
against the contractors system and
refuses to fight against the contrac-
tors.

assistance of his lady friend and
everything comes out just fine in
the end. The hero, who is on party
work among the French seamen, is
to be led out of Jail and his Com
munist activity is not only not dis
closed but is not even presented to
his discredit. Of course a" few
scenes of Red firing squad in ac-
ton are not aimed to make the
Communists more popular. Yet.
in, the main, the story is simply as
related here: a story with a Com
munist hero, in which there is an
aristocratic villain and in which the
nobility is just so much mud.
There you are. AS queer a fool
thing as ever you saw. And if it
isn't new orientation it isn't either
picture that should have neces-
sarily been imported all the way

bad here. Uno Henning, acting the
handsome Communist, does it well
and handsomely. His sweetie.

makes her, is nicely acted by q
young and attractive lady named
Edith Jehanne. 10

presents what would be called new
orientation in the treatment of
Communists in motion pictures. The
Bolshevik is beardless, and thruout
most of the film, human. In fact
a Communist is the hero, the de-

worst of them. We have come to
this, comrades. But don't cheer
With all this, the picture is by and
large lot of unvarnished drivel.

guished in acting
It is also one of the most curious
things ever shown on the screen
"The Loves of Jeanne Ney" is SO

isn't that kind at all. It is a per

The story is laid in the Crimes

COURT PAROLE
is MPRIS0NMENT
Religious Groups Glad
to Give Up Violators


Being a constant reader of your
newspaper of truth and facts, !
hereby call your attention to the
existence of the Parole Commission
that handles only cases of persons
sentenced to the indefinite term of
the city penitentiary. l mean to
show you how unnecessary it is to
keep this commission in existence,
which consists of chairman, who
receives salary of $500 a year,
and two Of his associates who re-
ceive $500 a Eear each. Also
others such as secretaries, ex-offi-
clos, clerks, etc, all of whom are
appointed by the capitalists.
Now l will start at the root and
prove my contention beyond the
shadow of doubt. ~ Before SEN
tence, court parole officer or in
vestigator makes a very careful in
vestigation of the defendants past
record of his entire lifetime and
presents such findings to the court.
(2) Then the court sentences the
defendant to the city penitentiary.
(3) The case goes into the hands
of this parole commission and they
fix the length of time that the de-
PENDANT is to serve.
az Such time as they fix must
be sanctioned by the court.
Can anyone deny that our courts
are not able to fix the time that
the defendant is to serve. Surely
our high-priced judicial m n S
should be capable of performing
such a minor undertaking and bring
some relief to the working class and
the real taxpayers of this city.
Jobs to Favorites.
I only give you this as an ex-
ample that exists not only in the
Department of Correction but in
every department of the present
Tammany government of this city,
that manufactures these jobs as per-
sonal favors for votes to uphold the
bosses, who are the representatives
of the capitalists.
To clean the house thorolyl and do
away with all unnecessary positions
will save many millions of dollars
yearly Of the poor peoples money
Try as you may to get other
papers to copy. Oh, no, not in this
Tammany stronghold.
The voters who go to the polls
and sign their names on the dotted
line should open their eyes and see
how their money is used to buy
other votes and to benefit the capt.
talists of this city.
When the former chairman of the
parole commission, B. De N. Cruger
resigned, Jimmy Walker, the mayor
expressed regret that this city
should lose such an ardent and duti-
full servant. Let us ask Night
Club Jim Walker just what duties
did this $500 a year man perform
The answer is, very, very little, and
not at all needed.
Report Violat0rs.
For men out on parole, we have
the Catholic Big Brothers, Jewish
Board of Charities, Salvation Army
and other organizations that would
gladly have paroled men to reporr
to them and report violators to thu

brutality was again in evidence with
the arrest of Samuel A. Herman
near the Allen-A Co. of Kenosha
Herman was arrested at the order
of Sergeant Meissner, while adj
dressing a crowd of unskilled work
ers of the Allen-A as we'll as a
humber of workers from the nearby
Nash Foundry who had gathered to
watch the strikers picket the full
fashioned hosiery mill Of the Allen
A across the street.
Previous to the Young Workers
(Communist) League members ar
rest, large number of strikers
were arrested on the picket line as
they marched peacefully around the
mill. Police tried to displace the
workers who were attracted to the
scene. At this point Herman
mounted a chair and addressed the
workers. calling on them to join the
picket line of the strikers as a re-
ply to the arrests by the police
made with the intention of breaking
up the picket line.
Orders Arrest.
Sergeant Meissner, who had been
instrumental in arresting Herman
several times in the past, then or
dered a policeman to drag the
League speaker off the chair and
place him under arrest. Herman
was dragged to a police phone box
on the street near the full fashioned
hosiery mill The workers began to
boot and jeer the guardians of open
shop law and order. The League
speaker yelled out that this was a
fine example of capitalist democra-
cy.
The policeman, assisted by Ser
geant Meissner, notorious labor
batter, tried to prevent Herman
from speaking and began to jerk
and shove him in vicious manner
The League representative again
Succeeded in addressing the work
ers, whereupon the police threat
ened to use personal violence. At
this point Herman shouted to the
workers, informing them of the
threats of the uniformed thugs and
called upon the workers to be wit
nesses to all acts the police would
serform that would be of CossacB
nature.
Workers Cheer.
The workers began to cheer and
the strikers gave a rousing yell in
sympathy. They all voiced their OBJ
ieetions to the rough methods used
by the cops in making the arrest.
Soon a police car drew up at the
curb and the League member was
thrust in. Sergeant Meissner yelled
that he should be brought to the
station and locked up over night
without charges. This was done;
and the League representative was
not allowed to call anyone up for
over % hours.
In the Jail the arrested strikers
expressed sympathy to the arrested
fellow worker of the Young Work
ers' League. One woman striker
who was arrested with her husband
had left her child in an automobile
near the Allen-A while on picket
duty. The police refused to take
care of her child and neglected it
for some time.
Faces Jail.
Herman was "freed" on S75 bail.
This was furnished by the workers
and his case was postponed until
July 16. The trumped up charge
by the intelligence of the police
force and the district attorney was
"inciting to riot" If found guilty
the maximum fine is $500 or year
in jail. The international Labor
Defense is taking care of the case
