Vow To Can Judge Belden.

KENOSHA, Wis.-Undaunted by
Circuit Judge Belden's brazen re-
fusal to retire from the bench after
he had been publicly exposed as a
taker of brides from big open shop
interests, Kenosha labor, led by the
Allen-A strikers, have sworn to con-
tinue its campaign until he is ousted
The vow was taken in a big par
ade and torchlight demonstration
which brought out nearly 1000
union marchers, and ended in a
meeting on the steps of the court
house where Judge Belden sits.

report of the Department of Labor
shows that the wages of these work

human interest the bosses have in
the mill workers-interest in great

In Center of Terror.
The conference, to be held in
Pittsburgh, city of steel and close to
the mine lands of Andy Mellon in
his state, Pennsylvania, is in the
direct vicinity of such famous cases
as Cheswick, Woodlawn, Tapolchan-
vi, Salvatore Accorsi. The LID. is
still fighting on behalf of the vic
tins in these cases.
The call for the convention says:
"The capitalist governments are be-
coming more and more brutal in
their attacks on the workers. Since
the Third National Conference of
the LID. held in 1927, we were
faced with the serious problem of
taking care of thousands of cases,
which grew out of the miners
strike, the textile strike, needle
trades and shoe workers strikes.
The murder of Sacco and Vanzetti
left behind it trial of prosecutions
of workers who participated in the
movements and demonstrations to
save these victims from the clutches
of capitalist justice: the attempt to
railroad to jail a score of miners in
Cheswick, Pa, the Imprisonment of
Harry Canter, in Boston, the at
tempt to send Salvatore Accorsi to
the electric chair on the charge of
killing a state trooper after the
Cheswick meeting in 1927. Tom
Mooney and Warren Billings are
still rotting in Jail, as are the Cen
tralia I. w. w. prisoners.
an Gastonia the textile workers
are waging one of the most, heroic
struggles in the history of the
American labor movement against
misery and starvation, for their
right to organize and strike. Twen-
ty-three leaders of the strike and
union organizers are on trial and
are in grave danger of being sent
to the electric chair or to long
terms of Imprisonment. We must
not permit the textile barons to
snuff out the lives of the leaders of
this great textile strike. Other
cases of the LID. are too numer-
GUS to be enumerated here. Every
day brings new arrests of workers
in various parts of the country.
Many Problems.
"The coming National Conference
must indeed solve many urgent and
important problems" declares the
official call.
The International Labor Defense
will have as delegates workers from
trade unions, fraternal organiza-
tons, from liberal circles, not only
from America but also from foreign
countries.

ANOTHER DANBURG CASE


compensating increase in wages.
ANOTHER DANBURG CASE.
CLEVELAND, Ohio.-An attempt
to make union men individually
liable for any damages which the
employer may sustain as result of
strike, is being made in the Cleve-
land courts.
Following the precedent of the
famous Danbury Hatters case, the
Building Trades Employers Assn.
has filed suit for $35O,000 damages
against two locals of the Init.
Union of Steam and Operating En-
gineers, which recently ordered a
walkout of all their members on
Cleveland construction jobs. The
officers and members of these To-
Gals are cited as defendants, and
would stand to lose more than
$4,000 each if the decision is in
favor of the employers.
The employers assert that their
business has been damaged and will
continue to be damaged by the
unions action through the delay,
loss of interest and the fact that the
companies must pay damages for
every day that passes after the ex-
piration date of their contracts. W..
P. Carroll, manager of the employ
ers association, states that the usual
injunction proceedings were not re-
sorted to because the men had al
ready left the jobs and because the
employers thought the damage suit
would prove more effective.
The Danbury hatters case resulted
from similar suit brought several
years ago in the hatters' strike in
Danbury, Conn. The court finally
decided that the union men were re-
sponsible for damages and they
We're bounded for payments, many
of them being compelled to sell their
homes to meet judgments for dam
ages incurred by their employers.
ST. LOUIS, Mo.-Unless the St.
Louis theatre bosses accede to the
musicians demands governing the
number to be employed in each
theatre by Oct. 5, stage men and
operators will join the walkout.
Since the musicians struck a week
ago, box office receipts have been
tumbling rapidly. The sympathy
strike would close the houses solid.
Ask Five-Day Week.
ST. LOUIS, Mo.-The demand for
the six-hour day, five-day week laid
down at the Trade Union Unity
Convention early this month, was
vigorously supported by rank and
file delegates to the Bakery and
Confectionery Workers information
al convention here. Officers of the
union made plea for higher dues.

College Football.
With the baseball season about to
come to a close, with the World
Series to be played next month, the
capitalist press has long been on
the job preparing the minds of the
multitude for filing through the
turnstiles of the football fields. Col
lege football is one of the most
commercialized amateur" sports in
the field. Outside of the millions
of dollars the American institutions
of learning" get from the Morgans
and Rockefellers to carry on their
boss propaganda, football is the
main source of income for colleges.
Besides its financial value foot
ball also serves the bosses in spread
ing patriotism and jingoism. Usu-
ally before each college football
game the R.O.T.C.'s or other mill
tary institutions parade the grounds
and a lot of flag waving is done.
Because of the expense of the
game, there are very few workers
football teams. The left wing la
Dor movement should give more
support to the fast growing labor
sports movement so that when the
workers will be inclined to see a
football game or any other sport,
that they may be able to go and see
real amateur football game played
by the workers.
