Communist Party enters the second
decade of its activity in period Of
sharpening class struggle and war
danger.
The history of the 10 years

gle, gaining revolutionary vision

for a full system of social insur-
ance! Fight the fascist terror, the
social reformist agents of the capi-
talist class! Support the Gastonia
workers and build Workers Defense
Committees! Join and build the
Communist Party, leader of the
working class! These will be the
slogans raised at the rally, around
which the workers of New York, in
the needle industry, the shoe fac
tories, the metal shops, on the docks,
in the food industry, will be mob
ilized for struggle against the
bosses and the boss-controlled gov
ernment.
A program of revolutionary songs
has been prepared, in which there
will participate the Freiheit Sing
ing Society, the Freiheit Mandolin
Orchestra, and proletarian brass
band.

YARN OF SUICIDE
FOR COAL, IRON
POLICE DEFENSE
Deny Barkoski Murder
Described by Many
Eye Witnesses

Miners Widow Makes
Charges in Court
M any Contradictions

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Sept. 26.-
With coal mad iron policeman Lyces-
ter cracking under the cross ex-
animation, but still persisting in
his denial of the evidence told by
eye witnesses, today's session of the
trial of three Mellon private police
for the murder of Jon Barkoski,
Pittsburgh Coal Co. miner, came to
a close.
All three coal and iron policemen
took the stand today to build their
defense around the yarn spun by
Attorney Pritchard to the jury early
this morning. Believing that it
would force the conclusion that Bar
koski committed suicide to avoid jail
after stabbing Watts, a coal and
iron thug, all three completely de-
MED beating and torturnig the coal
digger in their barracks, although
admitting that Watts struck Bar
koski in Imperial earlier in the
day.
Contradicts Self.
Watts, defiant and scared on the
stand, contradicting himself con-
tinuously on minor points, was all
ratified, causing the other two coal
and iron police to sweat, squirm
and swear under their breath.
When Pritchard bombastically
told the jury that the "welfare of
the employees of the Pittsburgh
Coal Co. depends upon the order
that coal and iron policemen can
maintain on its property" Mrs
Barkeski cried out, "Put why did
they kill my John?" and everybody
in the court room jumped. Lyceste1
looked uncomfortable, but persisted
in denying the beating, or that he
saw or heard any beating, saying
that the only time he touched the
miner was when he carried him to
chair for the doctor. He later
admitted twisting his ears a little
to "rouse him from his daze."
The jammed court room gasped
at the brazen lies of the defense,
while the well-dressed jury looked
somewhat bored. Court will be re-
sumed tomorrow at II a. M, when
Lycester's cross examinatino will be
resumed.

The drive will embrace all strata

allowed to pass without an effort
being made to recruit new mem

Especial attention must be given

.SANDHOCS URGED
TO ADOPT more
MILITANT ACTION
Urge Shaft Committee
Be Organized

An appeal to the striking sand
hogs was issued last night by the
Building and Construction Section
of the Trade Union Unity League,
1928 Union Square, calling for
mass picketing organization of shaft
committees, an enlarged strike COM
mittee and the formation of work
ers' defense committees to defend
the strikers.
Gas a result of the miserable con-
ditions, speed-up, fake bonus, long
hours and low wages forced upon
the underground workers" the state
ment points out, cover 1,0O0 ct
these workers have been on strike
since Monday"
"The splendid response of these
workers to the strike call shows
their readiness for militant strug-
gle. While the members. of the
compressed air workers union,
working in these shafts are out on
strike, two other unions, the plas-
terers and the engineers, still keep
their members on the job, betraying
the workers on strike. This is only
another instance of the strikebreak-
ing policy of the American Fedora
tion of Labor.
Helped By Police.
"The fact that the McGovern con-
cern is being helped openly by Tam
many police, who protect the scabs
and company gunmen in its brazer
violation of its $44,000,000 contrac
with the city, is ample proof that
the city officials are working hanC
in hand with McGovern against the
strikers. This is a reward for the
generous contributions of McGoverr
to the campaign funds of the bosses
parties.
"In view of this, the wrong pol
icy of some of the union officials
and leaders in going around the
back door of the Tammany and re.
publican politicians is a policy which
leads to betrayal and to making
the strike a political football be-
tween the politicians of the bosses
parties.
"This policy can lead only to be
trayal of the strike and mislead the
workers into the false belief thai
the bosses parties are in any way
interested in helping them.
Organize Shaft Committees.
"Only by organization of shat
committees including all trade
working in and around the shaft
can the tunnel workers win thei
demands and improve their condi
tions. The Building and Construc

discovering the traces of Pell in that street whether Miss Vanden- essen cared to disclose them or not.
 We sat in the window of the little room overlooking the square, speculating on the possibility Of bribing servants or cabling the superior of the school Suddenly, Somerfield grasped my arm and pointed into the square.
 "See who that is" A man and a woman were cross ing, arms linked, towards the Town Hall, and therefore walking away from us. But the woman was turning to look up into the mans face, and talking earnestly. We recognized Miss Vandenessen.
 They reached the pavement and were lost in the throng about the doors of the great building. Then we saw another man start from our side of the square and walk quickly across. Somerfield's grip on my arm frightened. It was LaXton.
 He fingered on the pavement in front of the Town Hall. He en- tered. In two or three minutes he came out again and stood contem- plating the square. Then he walked slowly back and under the windows of the Lion dor we could see him no more.
