Only Drawing Parallel on
 Spirit of People When
 Slave Law Oppressed,
 He Says.

Madison, Wis, June q (UP)- Senator Bernhard Gettleman, Mill waukee. who is sponsoring drastic changes in the prohibition laws at sessions of the Wisconsin legislature, denied today he was trying to arouse any sentiment for the states seces. sion from the union over the prohi- bition question.
 Points Out Past
 II am only drawing the parallel to show how citizens of Wisconsin in the past have stood by their principles" Gettleman said after having explained that only the out break of the Civil War prevented the commonwealth's withdrawal from the United States because of its objections to obnoxious provi- sions of the fugitive slave law of 1860.
 Pointing back to 1854 when the Wisconsin supreme court declared the federal fugitive slave law invalid Gettleman showed how this state for five years defied the federal gov- ernment and climaxed its action by adoption of a resolution of posi- tive defiance by the legislature.
 "'Positive defiance means effec- tive defiance and effective defiance means war or it means nothing" the late Chief Justice John 2. Winslow had told the legislators.
 Calls Law Despotism
 "The principle contended for by the party which now rules in the councils of the nation stops nothing short of despotism," the resolution continued. States which formed the constitution were termed 'sover- eign and independent Positive de- fiance of those sovereignties of ali unauth orized acts done or attempted to be done under color of that in strument Is the lawful remedy"
 Gettleman believes the Volstead act has assumed power which the eighteenth amendment does not tive 1t over medicinal liquor. He pro- poses to establish state liquor commission where citizens may pro- cure intoxicants upon affidavit that they will be used for medicinal purposes only.

27 Food Strikers Get 6O-Duy
Term for Detylmg Injunction
Cafeteria Workers Will Continue Its Fight
Despite Edicts of Boss Courts

Twenty-seven cafeteria strikers
were sentenced yesterday to 60 days
each in the workhouse for violation
of the injunction forbidding them
to picket, by Justices Kernochan
Solomon and Kelly in Special Ses-
sions, Part /. Two of these strikers
were women with children dependent
upon them. All of the strikers chose
the 60 day sentence rather than pay
fine of $100. One hundred others,
convicted of the same charge of de-
flying the injunction, are still await
ing sentence. They will be SEN
fenced today. In imposing sentence,
Justice Kernochan, presiding JUS
tice, announced that "an example
must be made of these strikers who
refused to stop picketing when or
dered to do so by the court"

Mill Press RACES When Lynch
Talk Exposed by Daily Worker.

The Daily Workers policy of ex-
posing the lynching tactics of the
mill owners press of the south, par
ticularly the Gastonia Gazette's
slightly camouflaged incitement to
murder the strikers held in jail, has
so far got under the skin of that
paper that in its issue of June II
it devoted several columns to abuse
of the Daily Worker.
The Gastonia Gazette of June II
quotes literally from the Daily
Worker report of the situation in
Gastonia, includes under a caption
the statement of the Daily Worker,
"The mill owners press is shrieking
for the lynching of the prisoners
held in JAIL" and comments: THAT
gives an idea of what sort of yellow
journalism is backing these Commu-
mist leaders and agitators here in
Gastonia."
Dodges the Evidence.
But the Gastonia Gazette takes
care not to repeat the extracts from
its own pages, published in the
Daily, and on which the charge of
incitement to lynching was made by
the Daily Worker. In its issue of
June II, evidently the first printed
after the Gazette discovered that it's
lynching talk was being reported to
the workers of the world, there is
a noticeable softening down of this
side of its editorial comment and it's
fake news articles. Instead, it runs
a provocative cartoon, apparently
under the opinion that such a thing
cannot be exposed as easily.

3 WORKERS DIE
IN DOCK BLAST
Company Allowed Oil
to Accumulate

Three workers were killed and 1S
injured in an explosion which shat
tered one end of the Robins Dry
dock, at the foot of Dwight St.,
Brooklyn, yesterday.
The three workers who were
killed are:
Thomas Kennedy, forty, 70 Dixie
man ST., of the paint gang.
Christopher Kelly, thirty-five, 351
55th st.
Patrick Burns, twenty-eight, 1915
Haring st.
These workers had been blown
through hole about Is feet square
in the side of the drydock. They
were burned almost to a crisp and
their bodies badly mangled.
Officials of the drydock company
attempted to cover up their culpa-
bility for the blast, refusing to give
cut any information about the ex-
plosion. 1t was stated that oil,
escaping with the water drained
from the tanker Gulfpenn of the
Gulf Refining Co., had been ignited
in some way.
The Robins Drydock Co. allowed
the oil drained from the Gulfpenn
on its arrival at the drydock to ac-
cumulate, thus bringing about the
disaster. The accumulation of the
oil made disaster very possible,
since hot rivets were liable to fall
into the oil pools.

DAWES ARRIVAL
IN LONDON MAKES
R O MAN HOLIDAY
While Strikebreaker Is
Feted India Rebels
Are Railroaded
Ask for Jury; Refused
Face Execution Unless
World Protest
Ask for Jury; Refused

LONDON, June IA real Ro-
man holiday is taking place here
While strikebreaker Dawes was
being toted by the British labor fax
ers, especially Arthur Henderson
and Ramsay Macdonald, a group Of
Indian trade unionists were being
rushed to their death by the British
imperialist tools in Meerut, India.
The trial of these trade union
lists opened Wednesday and the pris-
oners were even refused the formal
ity of jury. AS soon as they were
brought into dock they shouted
Down with imperialism, up with
revolution" The prosecutor made
vicious attack on the Soviet Union
and described in fanciful terms the
alleged tyranny of the Communist
Party of the U. S. S. R. over the
masses. He grandiloquently an
nounced that the Communist phil
osophy was anti-national and anti
religious, anti-family, in fact anti
everything that was decent.
Conviction of these men Is prac-
tically inevitable. The charges are
that the accused are working fol-
the overthrow of the British mon
archy and its traitorous ministries.
The prosecutor characterized the
Communist International as Rus
sian Government institution with
"outposts." The British Communist
Party, he declared, was such an out
post, and said that the accused were
trying. to form such an outpost in
India. The prosecutor tried to rouse
a nationalist fervor against the
prisoners by quoting garbled attacks
on the National Congress leaders
Nehru, Bosom, and Ghandi.
He repeated the ancient slander
that the Soviet political police mur-
dered two and one-half million peo-
pie.
The accused wired Macdonald de-
manding the transfer of the case to
High Court so that they could OBJ
tain a jury trial. They demanded
also that the British Iabor" gov
ernment does not repeat the Gavin
pore conspiracy case for which they
were responsible in 1924.
Macdonald, fully occupied with
dining and celebrating the strike
breaker He'll n Maria Dawes has
so far failed to issue any statement
on the legal murders being carried
through in Meerut.

nature OF FAKE
CLOAK STOPPAGE
IS MADE CLEAR
Fur Strike Committee
Meets Monday

The leaders of the international
Ladies Garment Workers Union, the
company union of the cloak manu-
facturers are continuing their sor-
did comedy in connection with the
threatened fake "stoppage" in the
trade. The chief actors in this shab-
by performance are the bosses and
their agents in the scab union.
A grand pretense is being made
that each day the relations between
the union" officials and the bosses
become more and more STRAINED"
and that strike will be the final
outcome.
All Pre-arranged.
In an official statement issued
last night by the Joint Board of the
Needle Trades Industrial Union, the
most recent maneuvers are analysed
The statement follows:
"It is a surprise to nobody that
the agents of the company union
have broken off relations with the
Industrial Council. Everyone knew
long ago that the only purpose of
these staged conferences was to con-
ceal the treacherous plan to deceive
the cloakmakers into a fake stop
page.
"The agents of the clique tell the
tale that they are forced to call
strike because the bosses are insist
ing on the right of the ten per cent
1t is well known, how
ever, that for the past two and half
years, since the self-same clique
made the pogrom on the union, this
clique has given the bosses a free
hand to discharge whom they de-
sired, as many as they desired, and
when they desired.
Records Are Known.
"The I. L. G. w. agents want
to give the impression that they
must CALI strike against the de-
mands of the bosses for a 42-hour
week, at time when all the work.

MEXICO CITY, June 14.-The
new reactionary alliance between the
Portes Gil government and' the
catholic church has received the en-
dorsement of the official counter
revolution. The National League OF
Religious Defense, which has spon-
sored and ided the armed religious
uprisings thruout Mexico, has is
sued a statement asking all it's men,
bers to refrain from all activities
against the government.
This action by the official coun-
ter-revolution reveals the shameless
ly reactionary face of the new al
lance. So confident are the reac-
tionary forces of their triumph that
many expect the churches to open
this Sunday instead of June 20 as
at first reported.
Conferences Continue.
Meanwhile the polite conferences
between President Portes Gil and
Archbishop Leopoldo Ruiz y Flores,
papal emissary, and Bishop Pascual
Diaz, of Tabasco, are continuing tho
the new religious pact has already
been informally concluded. Last
night the two distinguished dope
peddlers held their second confer
ence with Portes Gil an emerged
with their faces wreathed in smiles.
A third conference is scheduled to
take place sometime today.
1t is believed that the confer
ences now are merely working out
the details of the pact which was
prepared by ma1y months of secret
during which time the
Mexican masses have been kept ig-
norant of the plans for selling out
one of the most significant achieve

The injunction which the strikers
violated was granted to the Willow
Cafeterias, Inc, and to the United
Restaurant Owners Association by
Supreme Court Judge Henry Sher-
man. 1t forbids all strike activities,
including not only peaceful picket
ing but the advertising of the fact
that there is strike and appealing
to the public not to patronize places
struck. 1t is the most sweeping and
drastic injunction ever granted in
the history of labor disputes in New
York.
In protesting against these exces-
sive sentences, Jacques Buitenkant,
lawyer for the defense, stated that
these sentences will only serve to
harden the determination of the
strikers to fight to finish. 1t will
further convince them that the
courts are instruments of the en-
ployers in the battles between labor
