of serfdom.
| remember well myself how a
peasant was flogged for non-pay-
ment of taxes. And my mother told
re how they used to treat the peas
ants in the time of serfdom, how
they were flogged for the smallest
offense and sometimes for no reason
whatever. Three miles from our
village used to live a landowner
Baranov who ordered all newly we'd
ded brides to be brought to him for
the first night, and generally was
very cruel to the peasants, so he
was murdered, and my mother saw
herself how the murderers were flog-
ged by eXecutioners who had tied
the unfortunate peasants to sleighs.

TRIAL OF

railroading proceedings by trying
six mill bosses deputies for their
part in the October End slaughter
of mill strikers.
The second trick of the bosses
courts is to include Alfred Hoffman,
the United Textile Workers Union
official who has proven himself the
bosses man, among those to be tried.
The obviousness of this movement
is made clear when Hoffman's
eagerness to cooperate with the
mill bosses here and in Elizabeth
ton, Tenn, is remembered. Of the
119 to be tried, 112 are mill work
ers.
The charges against the 119
range from assault and murder to
dynamiting and rebellion against
the State of North Carolina. Hoff-
mans case was the first called.
Workers Aroused by EvictiOns.
The militancy of the workers Of
Marion and Clinchfield mills, and
their anger against the mill bosses
today rose to great pitch when
Sheriff Oscar F. Adkins, who led
the murder Of six Marion Mill Man
ufacturing strikers on October g.,
and was whitewashed for it, evicted
several more families from their
homes.
Evict Mother of Murdered Striker.
What particularly aroused the
anger of the workers was the notice
of eviction served on Mrs. Dora Rob-
crts, a widow, whose 17-year-old
son was one of the strikers MUIR
dered by Adkins and his deputies at
the orders of the Marion Manufac-
turing mill bosses October 2. R. G..
Baldwin, head of the Marion mill,
and instigator of the October 2 mas
sacre, called the families being
evicted undesirable" Four fami
lies have thus far been evicted, and
90 more families of strikers face
eviction.
The family of Sturgeon Bradley
was yesterday .evicted. Bradley had
been on strike since July. He
worked in the card room and re-
ceived an average of SIT week.
Another evicted family was that Of
Mrs. Margaret Bradshaw, who has
six small children. Four Of these
children work in the mills.
About to be evicted is w. r. Min
ish, who was badly wounded when
he was shot behind the ear in the
October End massacre. He is mar
ried and has four small children.
Mrs. Lille Morris, supporting her
girl of 7 and her mother by her
slavery in the Marion Manufactur-
ing Mill, was also told she was to
be evicted.

bail. We would have been out sew
eral wec.s ago were it not for one
of our lawyers who in an effort to
hold up the LID attached bail funds
amounting to $4,000. There is one
thing re, that we cannot trust the
lawyers to carry on the defense in
cases like ours. After all the law
yers are a part f the capitalist
courts md must necessarily be prac-
teal politicians and often grafters.
We were certainly fortunate that
we rested our defense not on the
legal technicalities but on the or
ganized pressure of the workers.
There is no "mercy" or "justice"
against class conscious workers.
The judges, the courts, and the gov
errors are tools of the capitalists.
While we are out on bail, we
promise you to do everything in our
power to help raise pressure and
support for your release. Beal and
Hendryx before they were released
asked US to write you assuring you
of their support also.
Only the pressure of the organ
lied workers can open the prison
doors. Here is hoping that our bit
will help to open yours at Walla
Walla. Yours for freedom,

seized. Arrests were made of the
leaders and the adults who had
volunteered their services to the
cooking. washing, and cleaning for
the camp. This took place as a
result of the secret observation of
members of the X X. K, the Better
American Federation and the Amer
lean Legion who found that instead
of the teaching of boy scout prin-
ciples the children were being guided
along the lines of working class
solidarity. Instead of the patriotic
dogmas they were learning about the
conditions of the workers and their
children and how to better them.
These children were realizing that
the struggles of the working class
are their struggles and as such they
too must participate in them. For
these reasons the close of the camp
was forced and prosecution made of
those arrested.
Class Against Glass.
The trial OF Jennie Wolfson, Bella
Mintz, Sarah Cutler, Isadore Berk-
owitz, Esther Karpiloff, Emma
Schneiderman and Yetta Stromberg
exemplified the capitalist justice
doled out to class conscious wor kers
by the capitalist court. AS a result
of the trial all except Sarah Cutler,
who was visiting at the camp when
arrested, were convicted by tire sup
posedly "unprejudiced" jury compos-
ed Of bankers, retired engineers and
ranchers. During the development
of the trial the Communist Party
was definitely put on trial. Those
on trial were not tried and convicted
because of their actions or activities
at the camp, but because of any
radical thoughts OF ideas which they
might possess. The actual camp
issue became submerged and Com
munisr1 became the predominant
issue. Fearing the escape of these
criminals from the clutches of the
law, Emma Schneiderman, Jennie
Wolfson. Bella Mintz, Esther Karpi-
loft and Isadore Berkowitz, found
guilty as to tn. conspiracy charge,
were placed under $4,000 bail while

recent. meeting by striking carmen
at Arabella Barns was attended by
about 1000 strikers, their families
and sympathizers.
Weldon, local vice-president, re-
ports winning the sympathy OF
the "New Orleans States" which
gives "free full page notice" to the
strikers, and he praises the States
and informs the men that the Item"
and Tribune, promised to do like

The strikers planned to hold
placarded-auto parade the next Sat-
urday at 1850 p. m. 1t was easy
to get permit from City Hall, says
Weldon, but not so easy to get it
signed by the Chief of Police, he
says. Only when they promised to
pass none of the car barns would
the chief sign it. That was o. K.
with Weldon.
An old bald-head named Larsen.

'Liontamer," was senilely indignant
against Patterson of the Public

I'm strict A. F. of L. man."
"We're all workers." l said, "and
it hurts US to see so much fighting
spirit going to waste. Before you
return to the platform, Mr.. Weldon,
let me say this: There's only one
way to win this strike, and that's
to call a general strike"

cize the prosecution, not for get
ting US, but for the manner in
which they got US?
"The reason for this view of the
New Republic and the liberalism
that it represents is to be found in
the basic social function of Lib
eralism' and reformism, namely to
find sugar-coated means with which
to perpetuate the present system of
exploitation Of the workers. The
illusions Of democracy and Justice
are examples par excellence. 1t is
because of these inherent contradic-
tons in your basic conceptions that
you shut your eyes to the class
character of Justice Of which the
Gastonia convictions are only one
incident.
THE case of the freeing of the
murderers of the six union work
ers at Maron and of Ella May, a
member of our union in Gastonia,
are samples of the same class JUS
tice that sentenced us to the peni-
tertiary. 1t is because these OK
anpies of capitalist justice have
been handed out crudely and will
tend to disillusion the workers and
reveal the true class character of
our present day democracy and
Justice that liberals are alarmed.
l am not speaking of intentions, but
the actual views expressed by the
editor.
1.-THE edit, deplores not the fact
that seven of US were railroaded to
a living death in the penitentia, Y,
but that the trial was a 'travesty
of justice.
"a real reason for writing this
letter is to assure you that the case
is being appealed by the l. L. D.
1t is surprising that the editor of
the New Republic should not know
that the lawyers gave notice of ap-
peal the same day that the vicious
sentences were imposed, also that
the l. l.. D. is raising $4,000 to be
used as bail thereby enabling us to
enjoy freedom while the case is
pending in the courts.
1.-THE hesitancy in expressing con-
fidence in our innocence, the lack Of
recognition of this case as being
an attempt to intimidate the work
ers and preventing them from or
ganizing their union, and the wrong
information concerning the appeal
expressed in the New Republic
might hurt our case as it diverts
support, financial and otherwise,
from the efforts of the international
Labor Defense to raise organiza-
ton and funds to continue this fight.
