which quickly made him world-fa-

WILL SHOOT UP
HARLEM RALLIES,
SAY POL|CE MEN
Wicks Dismissed By
Night Court

Admission Of threats to shoot up
the Communists if they came back
to Harlem to hold election campaign
meetings by policeman in the 54th
st. night court late Friday night,
resulted in an attempt to make a
Joke of the charge against Harry NJ.
Wicks, Communist candidate for
Aldermanic President, and immed-
late dismissal by Judge Brodsky.
Wicks, who was scheduled as one
of the later speakers at the meeting
at 138th St. and Eleventh. Ave. Fri
day night, arrived at the corner
after four had been arrested. He
Immediately went first to the 32nd
precinct ard then to the night court
to see that bond was secured if
necessary, and the arrested released.
Here the police sergeant and a
group of cops repeated the threat
made by officer 1858 at the meeting,
that the Negro Communists would
be shot on the streets if they tried
to hold another meeting. In the room
adjoining the courtroom the spolice
reiterated that the Communists
would be shot up. Wicks was arrest
ed when he sharply replied that the
police would get as good as they
gave.
At the trial, policeman indig-
nantly charged that Wicks had de-
clared that "Tammany and Jimmy
Walker couldn't run everything"
that the Communist election cam
paign meetings would continue even
if the police didn't like them, and
that the cops "would have their uni
forms stripped eff a'them" in the
event Of a shooting.
When Wicks countercharged that
the police had threatened to shoot
up the Communist meetings, the
policeman admitted this, saying that
fear of race riot in the Harlem
precinct motivated the threat.
Wicks retorted that Communist
meetings have been held in the dist
riot for long time and no riots
have resulted to date, adding sharply
that if riots do occur, the police
would be held strictly responsible,
and the meeting would defend itself.
The judge attempted a few weak
jests, and dismissed the case.
This morning, Is Communists ar
rested when the three meetings on
the Seventh Ave. corner held during
the last week were broken up, will
be tried in Magistrates Court of the
Fifth Manhattan district.

in the hands of the workers through
cut the country, who must swell
their protest into a mighty cry that
will ring through the South and
penetrate sharply to the courtroom
in Charlotte.
AT the trial, these leaders and the
witnesses testifying in their defense,
will tell the story of the struggle
which led up to the attack upon the
Gastonia tent colony led by drunken
police and followed by the "com-
mittee of 100," who, the defense will
prove, were armed at the Loray mill
They will insist that they were
correct in defending themselves and
the women and children in the colony
from what could very easily have
developed into a massacre, and ex-
pose the affidavits sworn to by police
who have been proved thugs and
drunkards, as lies.
They will tell how the gunner.

attack until most of the menfolk
were in Bessemer City, where NOV
ing picture of the Passaic textile
strike was being shown, and then
swooped down upon the colony.
Trace Terrorism.
The textile workers will trace the
terrorism, the intense brutality,
which they have been forced to suf-
fer from the first day of the strike,
from police, with their clubs, guns
and gas bombs, notional guardsmen

man VIII go to her grave with the
mark of a cross on her forearm

and from the mill crowd with their
determination to uproot the union
even if mass slaughter was the
price.
With great bitterness the strikers
speak of the first raid on the re-
lief store of the Workers Interna-
tional Relief some months back,
when the precious foodstuffs, the
milk for the babies and meal, which
were meant to feed the strikers for
a week, made into muddy yellow
paste to line the streets.
The later fatal raid, after the
strikers had given notice to the gov
ernor of North Carolina that they
had built their own hall and would
defend it, will be described in de-
tail, and the blame will be laid at
the door of the mill barons and the
police.
Right of Lefense.
Textile workers in and out of Jail
are convinced that the case which
will open exactly one week from
today, will be trial of the right
for militant, left wing unions to ex-
list in the South, of the right of
workers to defend themselves
against attack, and the right to
strike against the slave-like condi-
tions the mill operators are going
to every and any length to force
upon them.
The arrested textile union lead
ers are ready to face the court and
reiterate that what they did was
correct, that their only crime was
