[. L. ID. Statement Rallies
Millions to CASTOR Drive

Two years ago at midnight the
capitalist class pulled an electric
switch, unleashing a death dealing
current that burned out the lives of
thosa two brave fighters for the
working class, Bartolomeo Vanzetti
and Nicola Sacco.
Today the capitalist hand is itch
ing to pull another switch. This
time, not in "blue-b looded Boston,"
but in the heart Of the pellagra
country, Charlotte, North Carolina,
This time. not two lives, but six
teen are in danger. Sixteen valient
fighters for the working class, mem
bers of the strong, unbeatable Ma
tional Textile Workers Union, are in
danger of electrocution because of
their loyalty to the working class.
Because they waged war against
bosses who force men, women and
children to waste their lives in the
textile dens, twelve hours a day,
for $40 to S12 week, they endan-
gered the profits of those bosses.
In America that is the greatest
crime. Endangering the profits of
the boss is punishable by death. And
the capitalist class sits like horde
of jackals waiting to gorge on the
bodies of sixteen young men and
women.
But the millions of members of
the international Labor Defense, in
thousands of cities of America, in
Europe, in South America, in Asia,
Africa, prepare for new struggles
with the capitalist jackals.
The memory of Sacco-Vanzetti
sweeps through the world like a
clear call to greater battles.

sion of Preparations does not affect
that country. No one has raised
any objections to the three billion
dollar reduction proposed by the
Young Plan. In fact, Snowden,
labor" chancellor of the exchequer,
who represents the bankers and in
dustrialists of England, has express
ed himself as in favor of still lower
reparations payments from Ger
many, and would go as far as to
open the question of cancellation of
the whole thing.
German Support Sought.
The reviving imperialism of Ger
many is playing the game at the
Hague for all it is worth. First, the
imperialists of the United States, in
order to bring the German capital
list class and their social democratic
agents into the orbit of American
imperialist influence against Britain,
reduces the PREPARATIONS through the
Young Plan. Then the English
social democrats in the labor gov
eminent, speaking in behalf of Brit
ish imperialism, counter, after a long
deadlock, with intimations Of fur
Their debt reductions and eventually
cancellation, while at the same time
ordering immediate evacuation of
German territory.
The Germans are getting all they
can from both sources without yet
definitely committing themselves to
either side of the worldwide imper-
ialist conflict.
Cannot Solve Contradictions.
1t is pointed out, however, that
even though Germany were further
relieved of PREPARATIONS payments it
would not aid British industry ex-
cept to minor degree inasmuch as
it would deprive Germany of a guar
anteed market through payments in
kind. But the heavy Wall Street
investments in German industry will
be an incentive to aid Germany Sc
cure markets at the expense of Bri-
tain and Germany itself will, of
necessity, enter into fiercest compe-
tition with British industry. The
fact that German industry is far
more highly rationalized than Brit
ish and can undersell British prod
ucts makes the position of the lat
ter more difficult. Hence nothing
that happens at the Hague or any
other conference can fundamentally
alter economic forces that, in the
last analysis, always determine po-
litical alirnments.
Order Given Soldiers.
The Frankfurt correspondent of
the Vossiesche Zeitung reported to-
day that the commander of the Bril-
fish forces of occupation at Weis-
baden had received official teleg-
raphic orders from London to be-
gin preparations for evacuation, be-
ginning in September and to be COM
pleted in thirty days.

American Masses Ready
for GastOnia Campaign
Opens Aug. "a With Tag Days; Expect $4,000
From New York, Saturday and Sunday

Gastonia is the chief sector on the
battlefront of American labor today,
fighting the war against wage-cuts
and naturalization, the speed-up,
and for that reason Gastonia is the
battle of every working man, wo-
man and child in America.
This was the gist Of the declara-
tions made tday by Alfred Wagon
knecht, secretary of the Gastonia
Joint Defense and Relief Committee,
J. Louis Engdahl, secretary of the
International Labor Defense and
James Reid, president of the Ma
tional Textile Workers Union
All are working night and day
on the mobilization of the workers
during Gastonia defense and relief
week, Aug. % to Sept. to save the
Gastonia strikers who go on trial
Aug. 26 at Charlotte, N. C.
They stressed the necessity of tag
days, of the descent into the streets
by workers during the Gastonia de-
tense and relief campaign every day
of the drive, Aug. "a to Sept. 2.
Eve expect to raise $4,000 in
New York alone during tag day.
The subways. the streets, the factory
gates, workers in factories, every
place will be utilized to raise funds
by means of these tag days" the
functionaries pointed out.
They said that tag days on Aug.
"a and 25, and on the last three days
Of the drive Aug. 81, Sept. 1 and 2
will be among the principal features
Of the campaign to raise funds.
"The masses are responding with
enthusiasm to our campaign and
there will be armies of workers de-
scending into the streets, going be-
fore factory gates, increasing the
numbers of signatures on the mass
petitions, making house to house
collections Aug. "a to Sept. g."
Wagenknecht said today.
The fight to save the % strikers
and members of the National Tex
tile Workers Union is also fight
against the wage cut, against speed
up which saps a mans strength

while he is yet young" Wagon
knecht said. Thousands of sigma
lures on the mass protest continue
to pour in demanding the release
of the strikers" Wagneknecht said.
Engdahl stated that the Interna-
tional Labor Defense, countrywide,
was using every ounce of strength
in the fight to save the Gastonia
prisoners, by means of the Casio
MIA Joint Defense and Relief Cam
paign.
"There are new locals of the In
ternational Labor Defense forming
everywhere. The other day we re-
ceived word of eleven new branches
in Chicago and environs alone"
"There is a nationwide wave of
police terrorism against labor"
Engdahl stated, because of the
growing militancy of the workers.
The fact that the bosses are cutting
wages and speeding up the workers
everywhere is the reason for the
growth in militancy. With the in
crease in the fighting mood comes
a corresponding increase in police
oppression. Gastonia is one sector
of that field. These are earmarks
of the period in which the capital
ist nations are encircling the So
Wet Union with the hope of de-
stroying the First Workers Repub-
lie in the world"
Reid stated that the National
Textile Workers Union is most in
terested in the case, inasmuch as
the defendants on trial are all men,
bers of the N. 7. w, U.
"Our members in the North, as
well as the South, are modified to
see that the Gastonia strikers are
freed" He said that the N. T. w,
U. would be on the streets, before
the shop gates, in mass meetings.

order to raise all available funds,
and signatures for the mass protest
petition, and create a storm of pro-
test to save the Gastonia prison

Huge Protests Abroad

The extent to which the dimen-
ions of the Gastonia case have
grown internationally, enlisting
Scores of millions of workers on be-
half of the strikers, can be guaged
by the many protest demonstrations
being arranged in foreign countries.
The wave of international protest
which may soon exceed even that
for Sacco-Vanzetti, indicates that
the capitalists of this land will be
forced to deal not tnly with the
American workingclass but with the
proletariat of the world.
General Strikes
Not only cabelgrams of protest,
but general strikes such as in Monte
video, Uruguay and Rosario, Argen-
tina, are being called to commemo-
rate Sacco-Vanzetti's execution by
protesting on behalf of the Gastonia
strikers,
Demonstrations are % be held in
every big city of the world, Moscow,
Paris, Berlin, London, and in every
big. industrial center.
The Working Women of Germany,
in convention at Hamburg, joined the
long list of protests in cablegram
they sent yesterday to the nationc
office of the Gastonia Joint Defense
and Relief Committee.

These expressions of international
protest also include the petition
stamped with the seals of IS French

diate release of the Gastonia pris-
oners.
The International Executive of
