He is doing that of course not be

because he wants to finish the job

Evidence Proves Lord

BERLIN, Oct. 1.-the eXami-

clothing and goods company, which
arises over the graft charges against
the Berlin socialist municipal gov
eminent, confirms the truth of the
accusation made against the social
list Lord Mayor Boess (now in the
United States on tour "for inspir
ation"), that Boess purchased"
from Sklareks for his wife, a mink
fur coat worth four thousand marks
for only four hundred.
The Communist paper "Rote
Fahne" deals today with the career
of the socialist Kohl, the mayor of
Koepenick district, who became rich
as a result of dealings with Sklarek,
whereas formerly Kohl was penni-
less vagabond. In order to dertcact
attention from the sinking corrup-
ton among the socialists, the social
lists are trying to spread tales about
various organization in which Com
munists are interested inclding the
Workers International Relief and
the Red Aid. No concrete accusa-
tons are made, only innuendoes,
which the organizations concerned
have met with statement of cate
goric denial.

According to the observers report
not a speaker at the mass meeting
offered any concrete solution of the
unbearable conditions of the miners,
because no one was permitted to
speak no how to solve the real prob
lens. Even simple questions were
not allowed.
At the W. Frankfort mass meet

Frankfort spoke. Like all takers he
said everything and nothing. He
attacked the National Miners Union
and Freeman Thompson, one of its
leaders. He said that once at Belle

to answer a question"
On that statement, one of the

charge, but the chairman said he
would not entertain such motion.

especially at the meeting near the
union headquarters, on the afternoon
of June 7. Beal gave long speech
on unionism, being the substance of
his speech on the afternoon in ques-
ton. 1t disconnected the prosecu-
ion considerably to have Beal thus
get before the jury an exact presen-
tation of the program of the N. T.
w. U. and a description of the con-
ditions in the Loray mill against
which the workers were striking.
Beal explained that he told the
strikers not to attack the police, as
that was wha THE police were trying
to prove, to get an excuse to throw
all of them in Jail and break the
strike. He said he never advised the
strikers to shoot but maintained their
right to self-defense.
"The bosses always send their
stool pigeons and agents provoca-
teurs in to start trouble and then
blame all the violence upon the strik-
ers," declared Beal.
Police for the Bosses.
Beal answered the question of the
prosecution, "Why didn't you get
protection from the police?" by
stating that the police We're domi-
mated by the Manville-Jenckes Com
pany, and were always against the
strikers. en- he proved this by
reviewing t. violence of the police
and mill thugs from the beginning
of the c'.....,;e. This was followed by
recital by Eccl of the events of
June 7. He described the attempt of
the boa-c5' stool pigeons to break
up the meeting just before the
picket line went to the mill. Beal
stated that workers still in the Lo-
ray mill were ready to join the strik-
ers and thu picket line was sent to
give the signal for the strike and
cheer them as they came out.
After the picket line left, Beal
went inside the office of the union.
Twenty minutes later, Vera Buch,
Amy Schechter, Sophie Melvin and
Edith Miller returned and told how
the police had broken up the picket
line with brutality.
Shooting Started.
Then they heard shots and be-
lieved the Manville-Jenckes Com
mittee of 100" gangsters had arrived
to raid the headquarters, destroy it.,
and shoot the organizers. They lay
on the floor to escape bullets COM
ing from the police. There were no
guns in the building, and no one
fired from the building. Harrison
was brought into the hall wounded
and Beal took him to the hospital.
Then Beal went home, and found a
car full Of Loray gunner there, and
came to Charlotte to consult Tom
Unison, attorney for the /. L. d.
Unison advised him to go to a
friends home in Spartanburg until
recalled by Unison.
Beal then told how he was arrest
ed in Spartanburg, and taken to jail
in Monroe, passing through Gas
tonia.
Rank and File Rule.
The prosecution attempted to
show Beal as dictator of the union
in Gastonia, But Beal insisted that
the National Textile Workers Union
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1929-10-15

is a democratic organization, con-
trolled by rank and file workers. He
said the strike committee was in
charge of the strike.
The prosecution produced file of
Daily Workers and Labor Defenders
and read all letters and articles writ
ten by Beal, asking him if his state
ments were true. He declared that
they were.
The attempt was made to prove
that the N. T. W. u, the l. L. D.
and the w. l. R., the Communist
Party of the Young Communist
League are all identical in member
ship and purpose, and that Beal
was the boss of them all in Gastonia
and responsible for all Of their ac-
tivities.
This is to make the jury think
that Beal was the "ringleader in a
conspiracy to overthrow the govern
ment, using strikers for that pur-
pose, to which the murder of police
was incidental"
The prosecution questioned Beal
about his activities in New England,
textile strikes, attempting to picture
him as pr fessional trouble maker.
Prosecution Theory.
The prosecution is trying to con-
vince the jury that Beal's theory was
that in order to win the strike and
overthrow the government, it was
necessary to shoot the p;lice.
Don't you know that there is no
such animal as peaceful picketing ?"
Cansler, of the prosecution, growled,
at Beal. The judge permits Cansler
to make accusations and lectures
camouflaged as questions, such as
the above. This is done despite the
objections of the defense. A constant
fire of objections by the defense was
overruled by the court, which has
dropped all pretense of impartiality.
Beal has made very good wit
ness. Cansler Is been unable to
break his testimony down, or to con-
fuse him in the least. Beal is quiet,
self-possessed, and answers each VIC
ious insinuation, countering Cansler's
speeches with statements of fact,
and giving full explanations of the
purposes of unionism. 1t is expected
that he will be on the stand all day,
at least. AS the defense plans to put
all of the defendants on the stand,
the trial will probably last the rest
of tie week.
