seeking the punishment of the muir
derers of Ella May, while at the
same time he knows the names OF
every person in the Essex car from
which the volley came that killed
Ella May in broad daylight on the
state highway.
Major Bulwinkle appears as de-
tense attorney. These two hire
lings of the Manville-Jenckes Co.
have had their bond of black broth
erhood christened and cemented by
the blood of Ella May. The main
job of these two procurers of muir
der and perjury is to find a scape-
goat among the smaller fry Of the
black hundred band who in return
for a few favors will take upon him
self the heavy burden of the kid
nappings, floggings and murders Of
revolving workers in this Manville-
Jenckes principality.

the commonwealth of pellagra
where licenses are issued for the
murder of striking workers much
as licenses are issued for big game
hunting in other parts of the United
States, demands one or more indict-
ments for the murder of Ella May.
The mill workers have made their
indictment already. They know who
killed Ella May, and they know that
their class enemies are trying to
railroad seven organizers of the N.
T. w. U. to prison for 20 years.
The Leaksville strike, under the
leadership of the N. T. w. u, COM

class justice nj the South.
The political character of this
strike, although involving only 200
workers, is appreciated fully by the
capitalist press. The Charlotte OBJ
server this morning carries pictures
of the picket line and features thsl
struggle as an event of major I'M
portance at this time. The Leaks
vile Wooden Mill is closed--closed
by workers struggling against the
stretchout and the tyranny of the
mill bosses and their state author
tiles and struggling under the lead
ership of the N. 7. w. u, which
led the Gastonia strike.
