DOUBTED JINC0
INTERPRETATION
OF U. S. HISTORY
Authorities Tried to
Declare Him Insane

Frank Skolnick, a student at
James Madison High School, Brook
Ign, after being beaten up in the
school clinic. was expelled from
school for challenging the history
teacher on a point of fact. His his
tory teacher called him an "unbal-
anced Bolshevik," and the principal
tried to label him as insane and
send him to the insanity ward.
When during a class Skolnick said
that the account in the history text
book about the tariff of 1928 was
false and offered to bring in another
book to bear out his point of view,
the teacher called him an "unbal-
anced Bolshevik" and told him that
hereafter he would not be allowed
to ask any more questions. The next
day the student brought the book
but the teacher would not allow him
To talk. After class she scolded him
for embarrassing her before the stu
dents. They agreed to let the prin-
cipal decide.
Beaten, D0ped.
The next day Skolnick was sick,
but the day after he appeared at the
office, very faint and weak. He
tainted while talking TO Miss Clark,
the principal, who ordered him taken
to the clinic. At the clinic the prin-
cipal told the doctor, who was still
a medical student, that Skolnick was
mo good" that he was "a nuisance
around the school" and that he was
an unbalanced Bolshevik." Princi-
pal and doctor wanted to send him
to the city ward but Skolnick refused
to go and resisted.
He was given four injections of
morphine and because he resisted he
was beaten and thrust into strait
Jacket. The doctor pronounced him
insane and the principal declared that
he would not be permitted to come
back to school.
A Questioning Mind.
When Skolnick returned to con-
seriousness he found that his teeth
had been broken, his nose and cheek
had been bruised. On subsequent
examination by experienced doctors
and specialists he was declared to
be perfectly sane.
Students declare that Skolnick was
perfectly sane but that he was not
liked by the teachers for the en-
barrassing questions he asked and
for his conversations with students
on Communism and related matters,

the arrangements committee that
Antonio Rodrigo, intimate compani-
on of Julio and also Cuban rev.
olutionist, will address the meeting.
Rodrigo has Just arrived in the
United States from Cuba, following
a term in the military prison at
Havana. 1t was Rodrigo who wrote
to Julio Mella and warned him of
the plans of the assassins. Rodrigo
received a reply from Julio, in which
the latter said he would be on his
guard.
Rodrigo, when interviewed, told
Of the despotic rule of the Wall
Street puppet, Machado, intent upon
crushing out the fighting life of the
oppressed and disconnected masses
of Cuba. Revolutionists, he said,
are arrested without warrants, held
incommunicado and thrown into pri-
son after going through the motions
ct what is called military trial"
Rodrigo appealed to all workers
in New York and especially to Latin
Americans to attend the meeting to-
morrow. Speaking of Mella's muir
der, he said the subsidized Cuban
press suppressed the truth in most
outrageous manner.
"The first day." he said. "the HI
vana papers announced that Mel
was killed by two robbers. The fol-
lowing day these same papers So

Speaking of the white terror
Rodrigo said:
"There is no such thing as a civil
trial for a Communist or even
trade union leader in Cuba. Worker
fighting oppression are thrust into
prisons and treated like jungle
beasts. The prison in which I wa:
jailed was cold and damp and thu

until the next day.
"A labor leader, who preceded me

Workers Fight Bloody Rule.
"The Machado regime is working
With might and main to destroy the
trade union movement in Cuba. The
tools of Wall Street are killing, per-
scouting and deporting Communists
and other labor leaders. But in spite
of their efforts, the organized work
ers are making Roadway. The fede-
rations of tobacco and railroad
workers are two of the most mill
tant bodies challenging the bloody
rule of Machado."
All arrangements for the Lenin
Memorial meeting have been COM
pleted. A huge portrait of Lenin,
especially painted for the occasion,
will adorn the speakers platform.

other workers were beaten with
broomstick.
The police then pushed Fleiss and
Anna Nemser into a taxicab ard
took them to First Magistrates
Court.
Magistrate Hugh Simpson was
very excited. Such an outrage"
against British imperialism must not
be tolerated. The magistrate felt
that destiny had selected him to
vindicate the friendship" of Ameri-
can imperialism for its British rival.
He entered upon an abusive TRADE
against the arrested workers and
the organizations that had arranged
the demonstration. The only evil
dence permitted was the evidence"
of the police. Jacques Buitenkant,
representing the New York District
of the International Labor Defense,
who appeared in defense of the
workers, was not allowed to speak.
Pointing to Buitenkant, Magistrate
Simpson shouted to an attendant:
"Take this man away from here"
Buitenkant protested, but to no
avail.
Hold Worker Without Bail.
After he had exhausted all his
abuse, the magistrate gave Anna
Nemser a suspended sentence and
held Fleiss for investigation Satur-
day morning. He refused to accept
bail for the worker.
The New York District of the In
ternational Labor Defense last
night issued a statement condemn
ing what it terms one of the most
brutal, most brazenly anti-labor ex-
hibitions ever given by a New York
judge. 1t calls upon all class-con-
scious workers not to be intimidated
by the activity of the Tammany
police department and to continue
protest demonstration in behalf of
