Q.-That's all, DR.. Whitney!
Mr.. Roach has many friends and
admirers. Solicitor has a long list
of them, so he calls Mr.. S. Silver
stein of Gastonia to the stand to
speak up for the character and repu-
tation of the drunken deputy.
Q.-What's your business, Mr.,
Silverstein? Hays questions.
A.-Men's furnishing store.
Q.-You don't like the defendants,
do you? Strikes are bad for bust
ness, aren't they? You may step
down!
When court adjourned, Silver
stein, fearing a sudden slump in his
trade with the mill workers, walks
forward to the table of the defense
counsel, and whispers:
81 want to be friends with every
body!"

THREATEN STRIKE
WHEN BOSSES TRY
SPEED-Up PLANS
Increase Influence of
Militant Union ~

NEW BEDFORD, Mass, Sept. 9.
Wage gains-in some cases as
high as % per cent-and abolition
of a threatened speed-up plan open
the week for 5000 textile workers
in the Soule Mill today. The i'm
proved conditions follow militant
action against mill owners plans by
the local National Textile Workers
Union.
When a new program Of speed-up
affecting chiefly TOO workers in the
card and spinning room was an
nounced last week the union imme-
diately issued leaflets giving coun-
ter demands which included: Adolf
ton of all forms of speed-up; 20
per cent increase in wages; rest
periods in the morning and after
noon; protection against accidents;
and the eight-hour day and five-day
week.
The workers were called on to re-
fuse to accept the new conditions
and to strike if the company insist
ed on enforcing them. Repeated at
tacks are being made on the 5000
workers who are being forced to run
more and more machines per man
under increasing speed-up, the leaf
let pointed out.
The two most important demands
abolition of the new program and
wage increases-were Immediately
offered by the bosses when they APP
preached workers committees of the
union next day.
The N.T.U. victory is increasing
its prestige and influence among
thousands of textile workers here.

arraigned in West 54th St. night
court before Magistrate Gotlieb, the
judge Immediately asked which OF
those arrested was a Zionist sup
porter and which was opposed tc
Zionism.
Brody, on the witness stand, was
given a severe examination by Gott-
lieb. He asked him if he is a Com
munist, whether he reads the Morn
ing Freiheit, also if he is men,
Der of the All-America Anti-Imper-
ialist League. Gottlieb's attitude
showed plainly that he is staunch
supporter of the Zionists and their
socialist allies.
Dismiss Charge.
Altho it was proven that Sliefer
had led the attack on Brody the
charge against him was dismissed
Rosenblatt was also let go, for even
with the crudest frame-up methods
he could not be guilty of disorderly
conduct when he was holding his
baby.
The Jewish Daily Forward and
the Jewish Day are continuing their
provocative campaign against the
Daily Worker and Morning Freiheit.
The Day publishes a two column
editorial denouncing the Daily
Worker, and many cartoons. 1t
also republishes a cartoon from the
"Daily" which shows the suppress
sion of the Arabian masses by Bri-
fish Imperialism and the Jewish

Murderous Witnesses.
The defense in an onslaught on
the witnesses of the state, assailed
their tissue of lies and contradic-
tons, exposed their criminal records
which included killings and other
sensational crimes.
The mind of Campbell gave way.
and he started raving last night.
Judge Barnhill declared a mis-
trial. A new jury must be selected
The law requires that period OF
20 days must elapse before the new
venire is summoned. The new trial
date is set for Sept. 80. If the
selection of the new jury takes as
long as the selection of the one
which has been dismissed, it will
be October before the trial really
begins again.
The motion of the defense for dis
charge of the defendants was de-
MED by the court, despite the fact
that the state has produced no con-
vincing evidence Of conspiracy, nor
have they identified any of the de-
PENDANTS as having fired the fatal
shot. The defense has already
amply proved its case of self de-
tense. Judge Barnhill also denied
the defense motion that the defend
ants be released on bond. The de-
tense took exception to the deci-
sion of the court for a second trial
as this places the defendants in
double jeopardy.

A.-No, sir, went right back to
Gastonia.
Didn't you stop at this bar
becue joint between Charlotte and
Gastonia, near the Catawba River?
A.-Yea, l did stop there for a
while.
Q.-You had some trouble there,
didn't you?
A.-Yea, there was little tangle-
ment there.
Q.-How did it happen, Mr..
Roach?
A.-Well, the fellow that owns
the place, Pedro Melton, threw bot
ties at Mr.. Gilbert, the other Off
Ger that was along with me.
Q.-Is it not a fact, Mr.. Roach,
that you had been drinking heavily
all day, that you chased Pedro into
the aCtawba River because he re-
fused to sell you more liquor? Is
it not fact that you were drunk
when you drove over to the union
headquarters that night with Mr.
Gilbert and Chief Aderholt? Is 1t
not a fact that you were later dis
armed by officers of Mecklenburg
county? GAS a result Of Roach's
little "tanglement" he is now under
Indictment for murderous assault
with a deadly weapon).
THE star witness for the state is
questioned further:
Q.-When Policeman Gilbert came
for you at the Franklin durg store
in Gastonia-and deputized you
then and there-didn't he say:
Lets go over to the union head
quarters and beat up those sons of
bitches?"
Al don't remember.
Q.-Mr. Roach, were you ever
convicted of a crime?
A.-Well, I paid a fine CT $25
about thirteen years ago. CThe law
yer waves a typewriter document.)
Q.-Were you not convicred of
violating the prohibition law in 1917
and again in 1920; also in 1922, and
were then sentenced to serve six
months at hard labor and pay
fine of $500 for manufacturing, dis
tilling and distributing spurious
liquors?
A.-You must have been reading
the Daily Worker. (The thug snick-
ers, pleased with his brilliant witt
cjsm.)
The defense counsel will enter
the record as evidence the court rec
ords showing that Roach was con-
victed as charged by Hays, as well
as the affidavits of Pedro Melton
and others that he was drunk on
June 7, only two hours before the
raid on the w. I. R. tent colony and
N. T. w. U. headquarters.
Gods servants upon earth are
called by the prosecution to testify
that Mr.. Roach bears an excellent
reputation in the community in
which he has his domicile.
Rev. DIR. Whitney, pastor of the
Loray Baptist Church of Gastonia,
takes the stand. A quiet, god
fearin' man. The operation upon
him is speedy and incisive:
Q.-How long have you known
Mr.. Roach? Attorney Hays asks.
About four years.
els he a member of your
church?
A.-No, sir.
Q.-What do you know about his
reputation and character?
A.-Well, have never heard any
body say anything bad about him.
Q.-Have you heard anybody say
anything good about him?
\ A.-Well, sir, / can't say that l
