Cheswick.
The Cheswick case is one of a
brutal assault by Pennsylvania state
troopers on a Sacco-Vanzetti pro-
test meeting of several thousand
striking miners on farm, near
Cheswick, August %, 1927. The
police charged in on horseback, club
bling, shooting, and hurting gas
bombs. Many miners women and
children were injured. One miner
had his neck and arm broken by
police clubs, and is a cripple for life.
One man lost his hearing as the re-
suit of a blow on the head. Mrs.
Mary Gates an old grandmother,
was knocked down and horribly
beaten by troopers, one of whom
proposed to shoot her, and probably
would have done so, had not Mrs.

then dubbed in the small of the back
by troopers standing around and suf-
fered fatal internal injuries.

recklessly, came upon a man who
had stumbled. Holt dubbed the man,
and lifted his gun. Holt was then
either shot by this man, who was
not arrested, or was hit by one of
the police bullets, and killed.
A large number of arrests were
made among the crowd, as it was
leaving the field. Twenty-one were
first charged with murder. The
number was reduced to ten: Mike
Marakowich, Dominic Mangini, Pete

The charge was reduced to "riot-

do with the shooting of Holt.

The Role of the Negro Youth

are making special efforts to mill
tarize the Negro youth. But even
in these attempts to prepare the
Negro workers for another war, the
bosses also discriminate against the
young Negroes. For instance, in
Philadelphia, young Negroes were
denied admittance to same Boy
Scout camp as the white. AS re-
suit the young Negroes broke away
from the Boy Scouts and Joined the
Young Pioneers which fights
against all forms of race discrim-
nation.
Negro young workers can emanci-
pate themselves only by joining the
revolutionary movement and fight
ing side by side with all the young
workers for better conditions and
for a workers and farmers govern
ment. On September all over the
world the militant young workers
will mobilize for struggle against
wars to eel 5rate IYD. The Negro
young workers must rally to the
call of the YCL and celebrate to-
gether this day. The YCL must
on this day bring the Negro young
workers under it's banners for a
struggle against capitalism.
Up until now, the Young Commu-
mist League has paid very little at
tention to the working youth of the
south. This must be remedied and
Immediately turn to the working
youth of the South and organize

The most important task of the
YCL is to win the Negro young
workers for the revolutionary youth
movement. This work has been
badly neglected by the League and
this must be remedied at present.
The Negro Youth has been drawn
into the basic industries of this
country, such as coal mining, steel,
textile, railroad, chemical, etc. In
these indus ries the Negro Youth is
subjected to the most ruthless ex-
ploitation. AS a result of rationale
cation, the Negro young workers
are taking the place of adults and
work longer hours at less wages.
The Negro young workers receive
the filthiest jobs and because of
their color are subjected to various
forms of discrimination. In most
cases the Negro Youth is last to be
hired and first to be fired. The dis
elimination also exists in schools,
sports and in all fields of social life.
The Jim-Crow system is a good
means in the ands of the bosses to
divide the young workers along
racial lines, so as to make more
profits.
Down in the south the Negro
young workers suffer the most Bit
ter from the age of 7, such as the
cotton industries, tobacco, textile,
lumber, etc. This gives very little
time for schooling. The youth in
the south works IA to 16 hours per
day, 6 days a week and led away
from the struggle of the revolu-
tionary youth. This is due to the
poison in their minds by the agency
of the capitalist churches. They
suffer the most bitter forms of dis
elimination and are denied the
rights of social life. In many sides
they are not allowed to walk on
the same side of the street as the
whites.

By VERN SMITH.

IN the course of these articles, there
have been described % cases in
which the employers of America
used the courts in an attempt to
legally lynch militant labor leaders.
In three of these trials, Haymarket,
Joe Hill and Sacco and Vanzetti,
they actually succeeded. In six
cases, Homestead, Haywood, Law
renee, Everett, Herrin, and Greece
trials, the defense won a clean vic
tory. In most of the cases, the con-
viction was secured on a reduced
charge, or the death penalty was
not inflicted, and the victims were
given long prison terms.
In these articles, there has been
no attempts to deal with the literally
thousands of cases of frame-up on
lesser charges than murder. Dozens
results from every strike. A whole
book could also be written about the
criminal syndicalism, criminal an
archy, sedition law, espionage law
anti-picketing law, injunction cases,
all of which involve elements of
frame-up, as such statutes and rul-
ings do not usually prohibit the ac-
tual deeds of those convicted, but as
in the criminal syndicalism laws,
speak vaguely about Indictment to
destruction of property" ETC., and
are then made to outlaw members
in certain working class organiza-
tons by false testimony about the
ends and aims of these organiza-
tons,
Two cases not counted above, are
in process now. In these two cases
the working class, if it has learned
the lesson of the long history of the
use of courts by the employers as
one of their weapons in the class
struggle, will see that they must
rally for energetic defense. In both
of them appear all the Characters
tic features of the frame-up: the
use of mass terror to influence the
neighborhood, the systematic corrup-
ton Of juror material by propagan-
da and direct visitation, the attempt
to pack juries, the use of police,
stool-pigeon and professional labor
spy evidence by the prosecution, the
supplying of legal advice to the
prosecution by the employers, the
press barrage against the defense,
the damn foreigner" argument, the
"Bolshevik" argument, the "sanctity
of the home" argument, the "pro-
lection of American institutions"
argument. Both of them involve the
attempt to convict leaders who could
not have been directly involved in
the incident for which they are in
dicted.
Self Defense.
Both of them though, are not
frame-ups "pure and simple" They
are cases, primarily of self defense
on the part of the workers; in the
Gastonia case the workers even or
ganized to defend themselves against
attacks that were threatened,
though they had no special prepare
ton for the particular assault that
caused the fight used as an excuse
for their arrest.
In these two cases, the frame-up
consists essentially, as in the Hay
market, Homestead, Everett, Lud-
low, Centralia, Mesaba Range,
Herrin, Rangel and Cline, Logan
County, Cliftonville, and Pittston
cases, in the use of typical frame
up tactics to make the workers act
of legitimate self defense appear as
murder, and to get conviction on

picked miner who had gone, as
many have gone to the cities to look
for work after the collapse of the
strike through Lewis treachery.
Early in June, 1929, they arrested
Salvatore Accorisi, at his home, 731
Elbe Ave, Concord, New York, and
he is slated for execution in Pennsyl-
vania. The International Labor De-
Tense resisted extradition for him,
and extradition proceedings is still
pending.
Whoever shot Holt has a clear
case of self defense, but there is
not even any evidence that Accorisi
was the one who shot Holt. If he is
eXtradited, taken back to the coal
operators courts in Andy MELONS
state, his life is indeed in grave
danger.
Gastonia.
About the time this article is pub
lished, the Gastonia case will be
probably on the front pages of every
paper in the country, again. Solicit
tor Carpenter of Gastonia has re-
Gently declared that he will demand
the death penalty for each of the
10 charged with first degree murder,
and expects them to burn in the
electric chair. Remember Judge
Thayer's boast in the Sacco-Vanzetti
case, and the district attorneys
slogan, Gin the death house by
Christmas" in the Greece case.
There is the same campaign of
villification of the defense by the
employers press, as in all previous
cases. There is the religious issue,
brought out by the prosecutions
questions in habeas corpus hearings.
There is the defense of homes, and
American institutions" argument.
Burns remarks about "free love" are
echoed by the prosecution and the
employers at Gastonia. There is
the anti-foreigner issue, complicated
by injection of an appeal to race
prejudices.
There are the stoolpigeons, and
the attempt to corrupt the trial jury
before it is selected, also the pack
ing of the grand jury, as in many
preceding cases.
Masked Mob Raid.
There was preliminary raid on
the union headquarters, as in Gen.
tralia, no arrests for it, utter lack of
police protection for the new head
quarters, and the strikers declara-
ton to the governor and the public
that they would defend themselves
if attacked again, as in Centralia.
There was the plot to eliminate
the strikers tent colony by sheer
massacre, as in Ludlow. There was
the strikers resistance, as at Lud-
low, Centralia, and other such cases.
Then there were the mass arrests,
which include men who were not
on the scene of combat, but es-
pecially include the leaders Of the
oeii NV 40 az Iiic Lay iudIh CI, ScH-
tralia, Lawrence, Mesaba Range,
and many other cases. The en-
ployers pay for the prosecution, and
assign their best legal talent to
conduct it, as in the Everett case,
Caplan and Schmidt case, the
miners cases, and others. There
was the attempt at lynching, which
succeeded at Centralia, and the tor
ture of prisoners, as at Wheatlands
and Centralia and other cases.
1t would in fact, be difficult to
pick out any single outstanding fea-
ture of the Gastonia case, that has
not an exact parallel in the legal
lynchings, and attempts at legal
lynching of labor leaders, in the re-
cent past.
