gnRESIDENT HOOVER, please consider the case OF
@N District Attorney Leo A. Rover. il
You are a busy and have many Worries
But you are also earnestly interested in making Wash
ington model city in the matter of prohibition law
enforcement Therefore it is important to keep close
eye on the District Attorney of the chief enforce
ment officers.
This District Attorney has not shown any remark
able speed zeal in acting upon information placed at
his disposal His specially would to be the Jaing
of persons who point to law violations.
With Senators and other persons of prominence and
high standing making public statements regarding
outrageous violations of law the District Attorney
manned Inactive ..
Until The Washington Times announced that an in
yestigation showed that the rum traffic today was
fully as widespread as it was two years go, if not
more
Then the District Attorney, nettled by attacks on his
office and apparently desirous of putting The Times in
an embarrassing position, subpOenaed the city editor
TO produce concrete evidence.
The city editor willingly produced the evidence but
shielded the sources of information The evidence con-
tanned names and addresses of 49 dry law vOlatOrs
Did the District Attorney grab this list, dispatch his
agents to check up the alleged law violators and
institute immediate legal proceedings? HE DID NOT.
In fact the Grand Jury refused for two days even
to accept the written evidence submitted by the city
editor of the paper

Read Daily Worker
The prosecution also read vol
uminously from the files of the
Daily Worker" evidently in an eff
fort to counter-balance the reading
yesterday by the defense counsel of
the Gastonia Gazette. Thus the or
gan of the Communist Party was
very sharply and dramatically con-
trasted, before a courtroom jammed
with workers, with the organ of the
manufacturers Co.
1t was the effort of Solicitor
Carpenter to show by reading the
DAILY Worker" that "the Com
munists themselves say that the
overwhelming majority of the pop
ulation of Gastonia are sympathetic
with them, the union and the de-
Enthusiastically except a few
mill owners and big business men.
If this is true then why cannot they
have a fair trial here?"
The obvious answer, of course, is
that the jury will not be drawn
from the workers nor from SYM
pathetic liberals but exclusively
from property owners who have
been sounded out in advance to make
sure that they are prejudiced. The
Labor Defender organ of the Ma
tional office of the l. L. D. and the
Gastonia Labor Defense of the I. l..
d. were both read in court by Soil
citor Carpenter while the courtroom
full of workers listened with keen
interest and evident approval of the
articles read
During a recess in the morning
hundreds of workers crowded up to
the railing to greet the class war
prisoners and express their solidity
with them.
Would Kill "Agitators"
With each passing hour of the
trial the atmosphere grows more
tense as the opposing counsel both
sharpen their attacks and steel
their determination: one to get rid
of the troublesome agitators" by
electrocution or imprisonment and
the other to defend these strikers
and union organizers whose militant
fight on behalf of their class has
brought down upon their heads the
threat of capitalist Justice"
1t has been obvious from the very
beginning of the trial that the state
ment of the prosecution that this is
an ordinary criminal case, not
controversy between capital and la
Dor, not another Sacco-V anzetti
case, not trial of Communism but
merely an ordinary murder trial,
is futile attempt to cover up and
camouflage their determination to
get rid of the Union leaders at all
costs by whatever methods are
necessary. They will attempt to
preserve Responsibility" the illu-
sion of impartial justice.
But the real issues in this case
will not down. The fact that this
case arose out of capital and labor
controversy that the fundamental
rights of the workers are involved
comes out persistently in every
speech made by either of the OPP
posing counsel. The prosecution
would like to obscure the issues,
would like to de the fact that
the rights Of the workers to organ
ize, strike and defend themselves
are involved, but this they cannot do

shows. too, the mill owners paper,
the Gastonia Gazette, and the
workers paper, the Daily Worker,
locking horns in the midst of the
trial.-Editor.
The defense counsel yesterday in
troduced hundreds of copies of the
Gastonia Gazette to show examples
of the stream of poisonous villifi-
cation poured out from the editorial
office of this organ of the mill own
ers upon the heads of the defendants.
This morning the defense pro-
duced over a hundred affidavits
showing the state of prejudice exist
ing in Gastonia among the property
owners from whom the jurors will
be drawn. These affidavits came
largely from workers but there were
many liberal, small business men
whose customers are workers who
made affidavits that a fair trial
would be impossible in CASTOR
County. The defense attorneys
themselves made affidavits to the
effect that even attorneys engaged
by the international Labor Defense
are not safe in this town. Their
lives have been threatened on sew
eral occasions. Many citizens of
Gastonia made affidavits that
friends of theirs who were in sym
pathy with the defense had made
statements to them that fair trial
is impossible but that they were
afraid to sign their names to an af-
fidavit or to testify in court be-
cause not only would their jobs or
their businesses be jeopardized but
that their personal safety was at
stake.
Witnesses Threatened.
Affidavits were made by many
members of the union who were wit
nesses of the shooting, stating that
they had been repeatedly threatened
and told that if they dared to tes-
tify they would regret it to their
dying day." Stones have been thrown
at some of them.
There was an affidavit which told
about the planned attack on the w.
/. R. tent colony last week which
was frustrated by the prompt ac-
ton of committee of 200 workers
organized at Rex mill meeting,
to guard the colony.
Tom Jimison made an affidavit
in whcih he told about the threat
that had been made to him that
any lawyer who dared to come to
Gastonia to defend these damed
bastards will never get out of town
alive.
The owner of the property where
the tent colony stands made an af-
fidavit that he has been repeatedly
threatened and attempts made to
intimidate him into driving the
strikers from the property.
