tensive drive for the release of the
Gastonia defendants, and the house

Time and again the workers Of
Harlem, Manhattan, Brooklyn,
Queens, and all sections of New
York district, cheered the members
of the National Textile Workers
Union who go on trial Monday at
Gastonia, with the electric chair or
long terms in prison threatened
them by the textile bosses. The
New York workers demanded the
immediate release of the % strikers.
"Mass Strength viii Save"
''The mass strength of the Amer
lean working class, as represented
here" said Louis c. Engdahl, chair
man of the conference, will save
the brave members of the National
Textile Workers Union and their
sympathizers from the fate of
Sacco- Vanzetti."
Engdahl pointed out that workers
can not expect a fair trial in a capi-
talist court, the words being con-
tradiction in terms. Capitalist
courts exist to convict workers, not
to give them justice.
| He emphasized the Bessemer City
Southern Textile Workers Confer
ence as the institution of a fight in
the South of militant workers
against the socialists, and the right
wing misleaders, as well as against
the employers.

Wicks, for the Communist Party;
Karl Reeve, for the T. U. E. L.;
Rose Baron, for the New York
branches of the |. l.. D., and for

Wicks pointed out that the N. T..
w. u, going into the rayon indus
try was in a position to interfere
with the war makers, as rayon fac
tories are able to manufacture war
chemical without change of plant.
For this purpose, the militant N. T..

But it is generally believed that in spite of their control of the House that they will. be checkmated or stalemated by the Senate. A lot of political bills are expect ed to be presented. The West ward has several axes to grind and expect the First Division tc do the grinding.

 DuF'reSne and Arthur Nelson, early in January, left their boat three miles below Harding River, the camp of Anderson and Thy gerson; got into row boat with a kicker and went to the camp of Anderson and Thygerson. There without showing any credentials insisted on seing the fur catch of the two trappers. DuFresne, be- ing very oficious, also became insultingly profane. This was resented by the trappers who or der the B. s. Department repre- sentatives to get out of their camp. Anderson had his hand under his overall bib, holding DuFresne says a revolver. It might have been a gun, alright, but according to both men no weapon was drawn. The brave representatives of the law back ed down the beach with the trappers following and Thyger- son waving his hands skyward DuFresne said Don't shoot, we won't do anything to you, our guns are in the boat unloaded.'

Wrangell Miner Held
 Charge Felonious Assault

n1itS no gun was pulled nor did he see one. He ONLY thought Anderson had a gun. Nelson alleged he saw a part of the bar rel and handle of the revolver. Anderson was held to appear in the district court while Thyger- son was turned loose. Senator Benjamin of Wrangell went bail a thousand dollars for Anderson who was released yesterday af- ternoon.
 Both Men We'll Known
 Anderson and Thygerson are men we'll known in Wrangell. For ten years they have been trapping and prospecting in the Bradfeld section. Their deal lngS with other trapperS and fishermen who have visited their camp has always been fair and generous. They took care of Big Headed" Tom, a native, when it was almost impossible for Tom to pull through sickness and was in destitute circum- stances. Their general charac- ter bellies any charge of being the dangerous criminals the B. s. representatives would have the public believe.
 DuFresne, has a reputation ot being oficious, intolerant, un- fair and criminally indifferent to the public. He is said to have refused to tow a couple of na-
 lives few miles in the direction he was going. Even though they
