Miller, GastOnia
Defendant, A SIX S
Aid for Accorsi

Clarence Miller, Gastonia striker,
sent to prison for a term of 1920
years, now out on bail pending APP
peal of the case by the International
Labor Defense to the higher courts,
today made the following plea for
Salvatore Accorsi:
eve must save Salvatore Accorsi
from the fate of Sacco and Van
zetti. The capitalist class is once
again putting the electric chair on
exhibition. This is to be a threat
to the working class and the miners
in particular who are at this mo-
ment engaged in struggle against
the speed-up and wage cutting cam
paign that is part of the rational
ization of industry.
1.-THE same capitalist class that
tried to burn us in the electric chair,
and was finally successful in send
ing us to the penitentiary for 20
years that murdered Ella May Wig
gins and the six strikers at Marion,
is now trying to electrocute Accorsi.
But Accorsi must be saved. We
were saved from the electric chair
by the workers who were modified
by the International Labor Defense.
We must back the drive of the In
ternational Labor Defense for funds
and new members, and build this
defense organization so strong that
it will not only save Aecorsi, but
will help the miners in their mo-
mentous struggle in southern Hi
nois and will save the Gastonia sew
en- from being buried alive in
prison"
n. Y. Defense Convention.
While salvatore Accorsi, militant
worker, stands trial in the courts
Of the Pennsylvania coal bosses in
Pittsburgh on a frame-up charge of
murder, delegates of many militant
organizations, meeting at the Dis
trict Defense, will form plans for
a mass campaign to save him.
The convention will be held this
Sunday, December Is at 10 a M,
at Irving Plaza, 10Th st. and Irving
Pl.
The Accorsi case will be only one
of the many defense tasks facing the
class-conscious workers of this dis
trict Defense Conference, will form
plans for a mass campaign to save
him.
All working class organizations
are urged to elect delegates to the
I. L. D. Convention and send in their
credentials at once to the New York
office, 799 Broadway, Room 422.

Morrow, Rubio and
Gales Meet to Plan
Reaction in Mexico

WASHINGTON, Dec. 11.-Today
Ortiz Rubio and Gen. Plutarco
Gales, the political leaders of the
etty-bourgeois in Mexico meet with
their Wall Street dictator, Dwight
w. Morrow. Ortiz Rubio is presi-
dent and Gales ex-president, but the
real ruling power in Mexico is in
Washington and Wall Street.
How to maintain this domination
in the face of the discomfort of the
armed Mexican peasants and work
ers will be the problem discussed by
the reactionary trio.
In order to appease Wall Street.
Rubio declared he would pay the
robber claims Of American capital
lists. ~ will effect an arrangement
of Mexico's internal and external
debts and on national and foreign
claims" said Rubio.
The claims by foreign imperialists
are pure and simple highway rob-
berry and the Mexican masses are
utterly opposed to them.
Foreign capital" continued Ru-
bio, twill enjoy full guarantees.
Rubio-Calles and Co., representing
the rich Mexican ruling class have
united with Wall Street to intensity
the exploitation Of the Mexican
masses.

Imperialists Plan
Bigger Navies

Continued from Page One)
the first five of the Is cruisers
mentioned by Hoover in his message
to Congress recently.
The central question of the COM
ing naval armament conference in
London, January 81, is the building
of more efficient cruisers. United
States imperialism is not even wait
ing for the date of the conference,
but is already undertaking this
work to make its navy more eff
cient for war purposes.
Ten or twelve outward cruisers
will be scrapped to give the appear
ance of naval reduction, while Is
or more of the most powerful and
up-to date cruisers will be built at
cost of $1,600,000,00O each, each
having a greater capacity than at
least five of those junked.
LONDON, Dec. 11.-Ramsay Mac
Donald is holding meetings with
other members of the naval delega-
ton of British imperialism, prepar-
ing plans for maneuvers against
United States imperialism in the
battle for increased naval arma-
ments.
Macdonald will play the same
trick that Hoover and Adams re-
vealed in their plans to scrap out
worn vessels and build faster, more
powerful cruisers with longer gun
ranges.
Macdonald has not publicly COM
mented on the United States secre-
tary of the navy's statement that
work on the Is new cruisers will
proceed despite negotiations of the
capitalists at the London conference.
The open, intensified struggle, as
expressed especially by Owen D.
Young's statements before the Inter
state Commerce Commission, that
United States imperialism must
consolidate it's telegraph and cable
systems in order to be able to COM
pete in war as well as in peace with
Great Britain, will make it difficult
for the 'labor" party imperialists
to mislead the masses.
While playing for bigger and bet
ter cruisers, Macdonald has at
tempted to crown his actions with
"peace" laurels.
The actual conference will be a
direct scramble for more cruisers.
To hide their maneuvers from the
workers, Macdonald and Morrow
have agreed to keep the delibera-
lions secret and permit only such
matter to seep into the press as
passes through special paid imperi-
alist propagandists.

SCHWAb PUSHES
FASCIST COUNCIL
Favors Speed Up of
Workers; Wage-Cut
Plans Made

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Dec. 11.-While
Hoover's semi-fascist council, head
ed by his friend Julius H. Barnes,
recretary of the U. S. Chamber of
Commerce, prepares its wage cut
ting plans, the big bosses who are
directly interested are touring the
country spewing Hoover's prosperity
bunk into the capitalist press.
Not long ago, William Green,
president Of the A. F. of L. made
speeches in several cities backing
up his scab agreement with Hoover.
The same type Of stuff is being
peddled here by Charles NJ. Schwab,
chairman of the board of the Beth
lahem Steel Corporation, whose
production is now down below 80
per cent Of capacity.
While the Bethlehem Steel Cor
poration lays off workers by the
thousands, Schwab talks about "con-
tinued prosperity" Speaking Ian
guage not far removed from the
phraseology of the Lovestone rene
gades Schwab said: eve have es-
tablisked such q concentrated indus
trial strength in this country that
we can all proceed with a high de-
gree Of rational self-confidence dur
in 1890"
Schwab, who supports the big
navy program Of the Hoover regime
expects business to pick up on the
basis of the war preparations of
L. S. Imperialism.
In his prosperity speech, Schwab
declared that there was more than
psychology" behind Hoover's fas-
cist council in its plans for speed
ing-up production. Schwab said
good management" would help in
dustry tide over the present crisis.
''Good management" means cleverly
conducted and drastic speed-up and
wage-cut drives.
Resistance is growing against the
Hoover reen-Schwab drive on the
standard Of living of the American
workers. The Illinois mine strike
is but one symptom of the develop
ing mass resistance. The recruiting
drive of the Communist Party with
its objective of 5000 new members
and $4,000 new subscribers to the
Daily Worker will develop effective
struggle against the fascist drive.

Machine Guns and Gas
Fail to Awe Workers

AMBRIDGE, Pa, Dec. ia
detachment of state police with
machine guns, tear-gas guns and
plenty of clubs and pictols came in
to Ambridge Sunday to try and
brighten workers away from the
mass-protest meeting against the
attempt to railroad Salvatore Ac-
corsi to death. But the speakers
and $50 workers defied the police
and held their ground The meet
ing was called by the international
Labor Defense and was one of a
series on the day before the Accorsi
trial opened. 1t was in Croatian
Hall, at 3 p. m.
"Off Comes Your Head
When Max Salzman, district or
ganizer of the I. l.. d. and one Of
the speakers arrived, Sergeant Nc
Downey of the state troopers told
him no speeches would be permitted
in foreign languages, and that the
meeting would be broken up. 1.-The
moment you mention the state po-
lice, of comes your head" said the
police officer.
Salzman replied that the meeting
would continue as advertised in any
language the workers wanted to
hear.
Not Like BarcOski Case.
Pete Muselin, one of the Wood
lawn defendants who is sentenced
to five years in prison was chair
man. Speakers compared the Ac-
corsi case in which a frame-up two
years in preparation is being con-
Quoted against a militant miner be-
cause a state trooper was killed
while assaulting workers, with the
Barcoski affair, in which three
state troopers who beat miner to
death in horrible fashion after they
had arrested him were .whitewashed
by the courts
The workers at the meeting
adopted unanimously a resolution
condemning the prosecution of Ac-
corsi and pledging to aid his de-
Tense.

Confined 70 Eagles and their families only, the hall was literally packed and had the general public been included as in recent years, the hall would scarcely nave accommodated the crowd.
 A program of Christmas recita- tions and songs. opened the festivi- ties, after which Santa Claus took the spotlight. With unusual lib- erality and becoming versatility, Old Santa passed out gifts to all the kiddies and they had the time of their young lives.
 Following the distribution of gifts, refreshments were served and six sittings were necessary to serve the guests, among whom was the Haines basketball delegation.
