same number of banks at loss
Of $3,15O,16S. In New York four
banks were forced to close, na-
bilities totaling $1.269. 900.
Out of the thousands Of crimes

have now passed since the metal
worker, Giuseppe Peretti, Swiss
subject, was arrested at the rail
way station upon his arrival lin
Milan. Up to the present. neither his;
friends nor the lawyers employed
on his behalf have been able to dis
cover why he was arrested. The
Swiss consul has also not yet been
permitted to see Peretti.
According to information from
Milan from a reliable source, Jeretti
was first of all taken to the head
quarters of the fascist militia in
Milan where he was held for three
days until inquiries began to be
made about him when he was handed
over to the police. 1t must be
feared that the Italian authorities
have been using illegal means to
force confessions" or information"
from Peretti. What these means are
we know full well.

To the Editor of The Nation:
Sir: This is typewriter from the
CASTOR, County Jail. l am allowed
the use of typewriter and the per-
mission to write and receive as many
letters. as I wish.
After reading your editorial of
June 18th on the shooting affair in
the Loray section of Gastonia have
come to the conclusion that you have
received most of your information
from the Manville- Jenckes (Loray)
mill paper, the -Gastonia Gazette.
This so-called newspaper has been
F"crying to the heavens" for the
blood of the organizers ever since
the strike began.
"Hysteria and Hate" have been
ruling Gastonia ever since the Ma
tional Textile Workers Union began
organizational work to increase the
extremely low wages and lessen the
very long hours of the terribly ex-
plotted textile workers in the south
This hysteria and hate is confined
however to Manville-Jencks and
their Committee of One Hundred
thugs and gunner, the Chamber OF
Commerce, peanut politicians and
hangers.o the manufacturers con.
trolled press and some of the local
police who are in the habit of get.
ting drunk and amusing themselves

This element 'hates" anyone who
comes to challenge the big profits Of
the textile barons and put some Of
it into the pockets of the workers

Alfred Wagenknecht, secretary of
the Workers International Relief,
arriving fresh from the Gastonia
tent colony stated yesterday:
"The stoppage in organization
work caused by the arrest of all
union organizers in the Gastonia
area has been overcome almost over
night by the arrival of Organizer
Hugo Oehler and William Murdoch,
and the development of local or
ganizers from among the strikers
and workers in surrounding mills.
"Oehler and Murdoch are two ex-
perienced organizers, whom the
workers have only to talk to, to see
that they know the details of this
sort of work. They have been
splendidly received, and produce a
good impression"
Sentiment Improves.
Oehler, besides textile experience,
has a record of organization work
in the heavy industry, having been
recently in Colorado, during the min
ers' strike there.
Murdoch was one of the first
leaders to appear in the bitterly
fought New Bedford strike, which
laid the basis for organization of the
National Textile Workers Union.
"The sentiment throughout the
South is continuing to develop fav-
orably for the defendants" said
Wagenknecht. workers in textile
mills especially prove this by their
anxiety to join the I. L. D., and or
ganizers for the defense will be able
to secure thousands of members
throughout the field.
"The /. L. D. application for men,
bership cards were handed out at
the Workers International Relief
food distribution in Gastonia few
days ago. This has been particu-
larry successful. The strikers came
back with many new members
gained for the l. L. d.
"The, workers, and the sympa-
thizers, among whom are people not
connected with the strike in any
way, are voluntarily coming for
ward to state the facts about the
shooting.
Prosecution Embarrassed.
MANY of these who are now max
ing affidavits for the defense have
been interviewed by the prosecution
to give testimony for the prosecu-
ton, but were dropped like hot
potatoes when the Manville-Jenckes
lawyers found out what they really
knew.
MANY affidavits from important
sources have been received in sub
sanitation of the claim of the /.
L. d. that fair trial can not be
obtained in CASTOR county. 1t is
absolutely necessary to hold the
trial in some other county, and eff
forts for change of venue continue.
Wagenknecht stated that he saw
the prisoners just before he left, and
found them in excellent spirits,
healthy, and confident. !.
"They keep as militant inside of
Jail as they were before they were
arrested" he said.
"The jailed workers want espe-
cially to hear more from their
friends. They want more news of
the labor movement generally thru
out the U. S. and the world, and
wish to be kept aware all the time
of what is happening in other in
dustries. Letters and kilograms can
be sent now directly to Castor
County Jail, Gastonia, N. c." Wag-
enknecht advised.

organized force on the ground, and
Immediately opposed the reign of
terror of the mill bosses by starting
again its food distribution, and be-
ginning at once the re-establishment
of the tent colony for the strikers, y
said Wagenknecht.
"The re-establishment of l. L. D.
and union mass meetings with the

the basis for the renewed offensive
against the mill owners and city
authorities reign Of terror, and the
exploitation in the mills, and start

"The southern textile workers are
learning very rapidly about the
labor movement in general and are
beginning to understand the power
and usclessness of such organiza-
tions as the I. L. D. and w. l. r,
in strike situations. There is no
