sent out by the Socialist" chief of
police, Zoergiebel, with orders to
shoot up the workers May Day

The smashing of the meetings
caused four days fighting in the
streets, for the Red Front Fighters
and the Communists came to the aid
of the attacked workers, and fought
back the police from behind barri-
cades. 20 workers were killed.
The police refused to release the
bodies of most of them for the mass
funeral yesterday, but relatives were
able to secure three of the slain
heroes, and these were honored as
representatives of all the victims of
the blood bath and mass terror of
capitalist extorters and socialist
lackeys of German fascism.
Masses Follow Coffins.
There were red shrouds on the
coffins and red ribbons on funeral
wreaths born in procession to the
cemetery by workers in working
clothes and their shirt sleeves. The
masses of workers following the
slowly carried coffins wore red arm
bands and bore red banners.

surrounded by workers in oyeralls
and women wearing gingham dresses

The masses responded by singing

In addition to the half-hour strike
of most of the factory workers OF
Berlin and the taxi and bus drivers
during which the police arrested
nearly 80 speakers who addressed
the striking workers, there were
huge demonstrations in other Ger

GASTONIA, N. c., May 9.-While
the strikers are fighting the mill

from their belongings stacked in the
open road after, eviction, and trying
to prevent their sick from molesta-
ton, union delegation is speeding
in a truck to Washington to appear
before the Senatorial Investigation
Committee and testify in their de-
fense. They will arrive in Wash
ington about four o'clock this after
noon.
Testimony began today before the
senatorial committee on manufac-
lures which took up the Elizabethton
strike first.
The motion for investigation was
introduced by Senator Wheeler, with
the advice and consent of William
Green, President of the American
Federation of Labor, and the Off
cials of the United Textile Workers.
These misleaders of labor have in
mind something like the notorious
investigation ,aef the great mine
strike last year, when senatorial
committee came to the fields, con-
ferred with the bureaucrats of the
United Mine Workers of Ametl IA,
and came back with strike break
ing report, which also proposed
plans for retaining the control OF
the Lewis machine over the militant
miners who were trying to throw it
off.
Send Child Pickets.
The Gastonia strikers, realizing
that the bosses propose through this
investigation to force the strikers
back to work, and that the strike
breaking United Textile Workers Of
ficialdom hope by means of sem
atorial pressure to get them into the
power of the U. T. W, have come
up to tell the world their own story.
The delegation includes among
others: Binnie Green, striker aged
ID; Henry Tethorn, aged 16; Myrtle
Stroud, X. Hendricks, Ella May,
Robert Litolff, Lewis Mclaughlin,
Mrs. Crawford, Mrs. Robinson, James
Smith, Cecil Johnson and Carl

will describe the violence of the mill

them convict guards in the indescrib-

given bayonets, rifles, revolvers and
