premacy of law has been re-
established"
The beating of Tessner and
the attempt to victimize three
organizers last night gives the
lie to this pretense that the state
stands against the fascist terror.
With the full cooperation of the
local government authorities and
the open condonement Of capitalist
newspaper editors, fascists still
have complete control of the forces
that rule CASTOR County and con-
tinue to ride rough-shod over every
right of the workers.
The life of every organizer and
active member of the N. T. W. is
in jeopardy. Slaughter continues
on two fronts, legal and fascist, with
hegemony in the hands of the mill
barons. While maintaining the pre-
tense of impartiality, and spreading
illusions of the Classics" charac-
ter of the state, public officials and
editors give full support to the fas-
cists, blaming all violence upon the
unionists.
Those who have been identified
by witnesses as leaders. of fascist
gangs, namely, Solicitor Carpenter
and Major Bulwinkle, are white
washed, while lesser lackeys of the
bosses are indicted in order to keep
up the illusion that "the state pun
ishes lawlessness on the part OF
Communists and anti Communists
alike" But when they are tried,
these hirelings will also be white
washed.

Saylors' testimony that Carpenter
and Bulwinkle were in the gang that
kidnapped Wells, Lell and Saylors,
Judge Shaw refused to call to the
witness stand other witnesses who
would identify these two Manville-
Jenckes lackeys, and they are free
to continue their generalship of fas-
cist forces.
One of the weapons of the bosses
is legal persecution of organizers of
the N. 7. w., the l. L. D. and
the W. I. r. Seven organizers ar
rested and charged with conspiracy
to overthrow the government last
week were released and the charges
were thrown out of court as there
was absolutely no evidence against
them. Similarly this morning Caro-
line Drew, representative of the w.

charge of possessing liquor. 1t was
so manifestly framed up that Soli-
citor Carpenter, admitting that
there was no evidence, threw the

ARAB TRIBES HIT
.sAUD As BRITISH
Battle of $4,000 Near;
Maxton, Labor Traitor

Capitalist press reports from
Jerusalem and Bagdad indicate that
three large confederacies of tribes
have risen against Ibn Saud, sultan
of Nejd and king of Hedjaz, and un-
til recently governing the larger
part of Arabia. Armies of 10000
on each side are nearing battle. The
revolt seems to be directed as much
against British imperialism as
against the native ruler The quar-
rel seems to have started in 1927
when Ibn Saud's right hand man,
Feisal Ell Dawish, leader of the
Mutair tribesmen, and the Altman
confederation, headed by Ibn Hith-
lain, began to raid into the British
mandate of Iraq.
Bribed By England.
Ibn Saud has been taking money
from England at times and at other
times in opposition. In this critical
period, however, the sultan of Nejd
furiously attacked his own tribes
men in the interest of British i'm
perialism and decisively defeated
them.
The present uprising of the same
two confederacies of tribes, with, it
is said, the Ateiba tribes in league
with them, and controlling the ter
ritory between Ibn Saud's capital at
Riadh and Hedjaz, is believed to be
part of the general Arabic unrest
