SEVEN DEAD IN
PRISON MUTINY

Porter, Strike Leader,
Prisoner There

LEAVENWORTH, Kan, Aug. 1.
Six prisoners and one guard in the
federal penitentiary were reported
killed here this afternoon following
an uprising which began during the
noon meal hour.
This is the second prison mutiny
in one week, two other revolts hav-
ing occurred in Dannemora and Au-
burn prisons in New York state.
AS in the New York prisons, vile
food, overcrowding and mistreat-
ment of the prisoners were largely
responsible for it.
Guards Use Machine Guns.
Immediately after the uprising
was crushed with the use of machine
guns and rifles and tear gas, a
double shift of heavily armed guards
were placed on duty and the prison
ers made the walls ring with curses
and shouting.
The rebellion broke out within the
prison about one o'clock and it was
not until seven o'clock in the eve
ming that the guards, heavily armed,

LONDON, Aug. 1. - Efforts of
the British Labor Party to end the
strike of 100000 Lancashire textile
workers in manner gratifying to
the manufacturers seemed as far as
ever from any chance of success to-
day, the fourth day of the big walk
out.
Despite carefully broadcasted ru-
mors of negotiations between the
spinners' union and the manufac-
turers, no action has as yet been
taken by the officials of the union
with the object of ending the strike.
Far from ending it the strikers
are showing every inclination to
spread the strike in face of the man

CHICAGO, Aug. l. = There is

more serious offenses the 81 work
ers who were arrested at the great
Gastonia Defense demonstration

called today, the prosecution Sc
cured continuance to Sept. 9.
The court room was filled with

tried to terrorize sympathizers with
the defense. An effort will be made
to get a change of venue from the
labor hating judge, Lyle, on the
ground Of prejudice.
The Chicago section of the Inter-

Fairness" Argument

RALEIGH, N. c., Aug. 1.-The
date of the Charlotte trial of the
% textile strikers and organizers
whom the. mill owners of North
Carolina are trying to railroad to
the electric chair and state peniten-
tiary, has been set for Aug. 26,
according to Tyre Taylor, secretary
to Gov. Max Gardner.
The governors secretary stated
yesterday that the date Ivas fixed,
and that Judge M. V. BaIfhill would
preside. Barnhill is the special
judge appointed by Gardner to try
the case, when he ordered special
term of court to start in Gastonia,
July 29. The defense was able to
prove so overwhelmingly that the
mill owners had terrorized witnesses
and corrupted juror material in
CASTOR County, that the judge, in
order to cast a veil of apparent
fairness" over the legal lynching
ordered a change of venue to Char
lotte.
Tried for Opinions.
The international Labor Defense
and the prisoners themselves are
issuing statements to refute the
flood of editorials in southern and
northern metropolitan newspapers.
The capitalist press alleges that the
change of venue shows that the
strikers will be tried for murder,
not for their opinions" The strik-
ers on trial point out that it is
just exactly their opinions that they
are being tried for, as evidenced by
the nature of the questions asked
them by the prosecution at the

CHICAGO POLICE
ATTACK MEETING

CHICAGO, H., Aug. AFTER a
terrific struggle, in which many
heads were broken, the Chicago po-
lice broke up the second mass meet
ing here to demonstrate against i'm
perialist war and for the defense of
the Soviet Union. Many are ar
rested. What is practically martial
law prevails in this district, with
police out with machine guns.
The demonstration was planned
for Union Park, in the center of
town. At the last moment Park
Commissioner Robertson refused the
request for a permit. When the
demonstrators arrived, a barricade
manned by police barred them out.
Everybody had been ordered out Of
the park at 6 p. m. The demonstra-
tion took place, with thousands par
ticipating, near the pagk. Police
charged into this meeting, and dis
persed it, only to have it reassemble
half block further up the street.
Here the police attacked again,
but the meeting dispersed only after
stern resistance. C. Hathaway, dis
trict organizer of Chicago District
Of the Communist Party, was the
first speaker up. He was arrested.
j. Louis Engdahl was the other prin-
cipal speaker.
Three wagon loads of prisoners
were carried off to the Jail. An at
tempt will be made tonight by the
International Labor Defense to bail
them out.

Eight workers, including William
Simons, of the All-America Anti
Imperialist League, were arrested
and charged with holding a meeting
without q permit.
The meeting was prepared for by
distribution of many circulars
through the shops. Police Super
intendent Crowley had boasted that
he had assembled the greatest
armed force ever seen in Boston
since the pxecution of Sacco and
Vanzetti. He was prepared, he said,
to call for the state militia at a
moments notice, and had stationed
police at the railroad stations to
keep workers away from the meet
ings.

Establishes Red Day.
Rivalling the huge Sacco-Vanzetti
mass meetings of two years ago,
yesterdays demonstration, part of
the worldwide demonstrations on
August l, International Red Day for
the Defense of the Soviet Union and
Against Imperialist War, signalized
the definite establishment of August
1, the anniversary of the last i'm
perialist slaughter, as the great
mobilization day for the fight
against imperialist war. 1t showed
that the workers Of New York are
aware of the growing danger of
war and of imperialist attacks on
the Workers and Peasants Repub-
lie and are ready to fight relent-
lessly, under the leadership of the
Communist Party and the Commu-
mist International, against the dark
plottings of the imperialists.
Starting at 4 o'clock, the masses
defied the rain, police attacks and
the intimidation of the bosses to
stage a demonstration that was a
mighty challenge to the war mon
gers and their horde of faithful
lackeys of the socialist party and
A. F. of L. bureaucracy. That the
workers understand the role of the
socialist" camp followers of the
imperialists was evidenced by the
spontaneous demonstration staged
Is minutes before the big Union
Square demonstration closed, in
front of the Rand School where
under the leadership of the Young
Communist League, speeches were
made and the treacherous role of
the socialist party exposed.
Police in Savage Attacks.
The Tammany police were OBJ
viously enraged at the size and mill
fancy of the demonstration and
made savage attacks. Their rage
was increased by the persistence of
the crowd in remaining through the
demonstration despite heavy down
pour of rain which started about
$3.50 and by the behavior of the
members of the Young Communist
League, who, garbed in new khaki
uniforms, presented striking and
disciplined corps that played a lead
ing role in the demonstration. The
Young Pioneers were also dressed in
khaki uniforms and the police were
further infuriated when these ten
and twelve year olds defied them,
refused to allow their lines to be
broken up and held their banners
aloft.
The demonstration itself was ar
event that will be long remembered
by the thousands of workers who

PARIS, France, August Items
of thousands of workers left the
shops where National Guardsmen
stood with full equipment, rifles and
bayonets, and marched in process
sions in the capital in defiance of
The decree of Police Prefect Chiappe,
that there must be no demonstration
against imperialist war and the at
tack on the Soviet Union.
At 9 p. m. a descent upon the
boulevards was contemplated. The
police were still frantically making
arrests, over 300 now being under
lcck and key. Thirty thousand
troops are quartered in the city,
and extensive police reserves are on
hand. The workers demonstrate
nevertheless.
The leaders of the conservative
Confederation of Labor issued a
statement sabotaging the demonstra-
tions to the best of their ability, by
advising the workers to stay on the
job and keep away from the demon
strations.
