LID. SUPPORTS
MARION VICTIMS
Sending Organizer, To
Defend Strikers

The International Labor Defense,
which is at present carrying on the
defense of the Gastonia strikers
being tried in Charlotte, N. c., and
has defended the textile strikers of
the Gastonia, Kings Mountain and
Bessemer City regions, offered its
aid yesterday to the textile workers
on strike in Marion, N. c., where
three workers were killed and 18
wounded when deputies fired on
pickets before the Marion Textile
Manufacturing Company yesterday.
AS the result of a telegram dis
patched last night by the National
Executive Secretary of the Interna-
tional Labor Defense, J. Louis Eng
dahl, to the southern district repre-
sentative of the organization,
George Saul, southern organizer,
left for Marion from Charlotte yes
terday to offer the help of his or
ganization.
Support Marion Strikers.
The telegram, signed by J. Louis
Engdahl, stated: "The International
Labor Defense through you offers
every assistance against all class
collaboration policies and for their
right to organize, strike, picket, and
defend themselves against the en-
ployers, police, sheriff and state
militia. The International Labor
Defense supports the Marion strik-
ers in their heroic struggles against
the speed-up for higher wages and
better working conditions. These
efforts of the southern workers can
not be drowned in blood bath per-
petrated by the textile BOSSES"

JURORS FROM TIL:
RURAL DISTRICTS
Defense Protests; Has
Stopped Trial | Day

CHARLOTTE, N. c., Oct. 2.
Heavy rains all night is the
reason given for deputies not
completing the service of sum-
mons for the panel of $50 ven
iremen drawn last night for
jury duty in the Gastonia case,
and Judge NJ. V. Barnhill has an
nounced there will be no session Of
court today.
In drawing the panel all names
from Charlotte township were
dropped, so that the veniremen
would all come from the rural dis
tricts.
Tried 1t Before.
The Judge proposed when the trial
opened yesterday that no jurors be
selected from Charlotte township.
This is the only industrial section
of Mecklinburg County, from which
workers could get on the jury, and
the defense fought vigorously
against such a scheme, evidently in
tended to help packing the jury
with business men and landlords.
The judge then proposed an alter
native plan, for the sheriff to pick
whoever he pleased, which was also
strenuously objected to. 1t was
thought that the judge had yielded
on both these plans, but when the
time came to summon the second
venire, he suddenly reverted to the
first scheme, and ordered all the
names drawn from outside Char
lotte. The ostensible reason given
by the court was that this would
"speed the selection of a jury" 1t
has already proved to have just the
opposite result, but there is no in
dicatiOn of another change of policy.
