Some Carolina

A fifty per cent increase in pei
lagra in North Carolina this year;
thousands of workers on starvation
wage; families dispossessed and
thrown into the rain; instant use by
the bosses of state troopers; twelve
hours a day labor; child labor.
These are a few of the ct.arac-
teristic "shames" of North Carolina.
And John J. Leary, Jr., cores
pondent of the New York World at
Charlotte, on the Gastonia case glee-
fully sums up his story that was
quoted in the Gastonia Gazette-in
the Gazette that cried out for lynch
ings-with this strange and charac-
teristic sentence: "North Carolina
will have nothing to be asharaed of
or to explain"
He writes that Erred Erwin Beal
and his comrades are in for fair
trial"
Leary, whose accounts in the New
York World of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor activities are al
ways highly disinfectant, portrays
his hatred for the workers in his
whitewash of the North Carolina
authorities.

PASSAIC POLICE
SLUG WORKERS
Attack 2 Youths After
Court Releases Them

Policemen of Passaic, living true
to the regulations for brutality they
gained in the Passaic textile strike
several years ago, beat up two young
workers yesterday, after the latter
were discharged on suspended SEN
tences for passing leaflets to pub
lie service workers.
The young workers who were
beaten up were Stephen Gede and
John Kovac. They had been arrest
ed and thrown into jail. Five of
their friends who came to bail the
two out were also arrested and held
in prison overnight.
The judge suspended sentence and
dismissed the youths. Gede and Ko-
vac thereupon went to the Workers
Home where they were followed by
policemen. The latter, without warn
ing, then attacked the two youths
and beat them severely inside the
building.
The International Labor Defense
is fighting the case on behalf of
the young workers and will bring
charges against the vicious police
officers.

Bill Dunne's pamphlet, "Gastonia,

at Gastonia from every angle, is off

only in America, but practically ev-
cry country of the world.
what is going on in Gastonia
- in the New South" is the ques-
tion that came by the thousands to
the international Labor Defense ma
tional headquarters at 80 E. 18th
St., Room 402, New York City.
Dunne's pamphlets answers every
question concerning the strike, the
bitter conditions of the worker in
the South, concerning the economic
position, not only of the worker,
but of the bourgeoisie in the south
ern states.
Dunno has been on the scene since
the beginning of the strike and
has made wide study of all the
conditions at first hand. Written
in the effective style which has
made him famous as a labor writer,
he deals with all angles and history
of the strike.
Dunno is now at Charlotte, N. c.
where he is directing the defense of
the strikers. His pamphlet, selling
for is cents, and five cents for
mailing, can be secured by writing
for it to the International Labor
Defense, at 80 E. 18th St., room 402,
