PROVES VICIOUS
RED BATTER
Workers to Continue
Open Air Meets

CHICAGO, Aug. 1.-Two young
workers were freed by jury after a
two day trial on the issue of Com
munism. The Communist Party of
Chicago has been holding open air
meetings on Washburn Ave. in the
Negro neighborhood. The police in
collaboration with gunner tried
many a time to break these open
air meetings up. They used vari-
Gus means, ranging from shooting,
clubbing to arrests.
Two young workers Mittelman
and Hickman were arrested and
brought before Judge Trude. The
arrested demanded a jury trial
which was granted. In this trial
the prosecution and the police
clearly made it an issue of Com
munism versus capitalism. The
prosecutor, attacking the Commu-
nists, attacked the foreign born
workers, and defended the American
Federation of Labor. The defense
did not side step the issue, but
answered clearly as to what Com
munism stands for, the irevitability
of the class struggle, the right of
the workers to organize, the role of
the capitalist police and the courts
as the agents of the bosses.
The red batting prosecutor used
the flag and told the jury that if
they freed the young workers, they
would be undermining society"
In the closing remarks counsel of
the defense Goldman and Bentall
appealed to the workers on the jury
not to give a verdict that would
serve the bosses. They said that as
workers they had experienced the
brutality of the police and capitalist
justice. Inspite of the prejudiced
instructions to the jury by the
judge, after two hours of debate in
the jury room a verdict of mot
guilty" was brought in. One of the
workers on the jury remarked later
when asked how e arrived at this
verdict, that 81 am a worker and /
know how they beat US during
strikes and we will not give up the
few rights that we have so easily"
The I. L. D. defended the workers.
On Monday, August IL, the trial
of 16 cases that grew out of the
August l demonstration will take
place.

Scouts Fail to Debate
Bronx Young Pioneers
At Wilkins Ave. Meet

The debate scheduled to take
place between the Young Pioneers
and the Boy Scouts last Friday al
1880 wilkins Ave. did not occur be-
cause the boy scout debaters failed
to show up. The excuse they gave
was that they were afraid of the
Pioneers.
Nevertheless, their scout leader
arrived TO take away any boy scouts
who might have come to the debate
When the Pioneer leader said that
the boy scouts were afraid to de-
fend their own organization the
scout leader promised to send few
boy scouts to debate the Pioneers
next Friday.

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Aug. II.
- More than 100 students at the
Fort Smelling Citizens Military
Training Camp, acting under the or
ders Of their captain, attacked a
demonstration in Gridge Square
here yesterday, and kidnapped Tom

were speaking. Over 1000 workers
who attended the meeting demon
strated against militarism and the
war plots of the imperialists.
When the C. NJ. T. C. students at
tackled the demonstration a fight
started between them and the work
ers, who began kissing the c. NJ. T.
c. In the general melee, Foley and
Dwight were kidnapped by a group
of young jingoes. The police APP
peared on the scene and helped the
c. M. T. c. to break up the meet
ing. The police overlook the kid
nappers, and, instead of arresting
them, held Foley and Dwight. The
international Labor Defense secured
the release of both on bail.
Earlier in the day two workers
were arrested while distributing
leaflets at the Fort Smelling C. M.
7. c. camp, calling on the students

MANCHUOI, Manchuria, Aug. II.
The Marking government has
again made obviously unacceptable
proposals to the Soviet government
to negotiate the Marking seizure Of
the Chinese Eastern Railroad.
Chu-yang, the Marking envoy,
has asked M. Melnikoff, to negoti-
ate on the basis that China agrees
to restore the status quo of the rail-
way, but refuses to restore the chief
Soviet officials to their former po-
sitions on the railroad.
Chu's proposal demanded the re-
placing of Emshanoff, soviet direc-
tor general of the railway control
bureau, and Eismond, the vice-direc-
tor general of the railway, with other
Soviet officials.
The Soviet government refused to
consider the proposals.

'FLOGGED ATTORNEY
MAINTAINS SILENCE
Authorities Lack Definite In
formation as Victim Re-
fuses to Talk.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla, April 3d.
Authorities investigating the kidnapping
and f1ogging of James F. Bickers, 54-
year-old attorney here Sunday night
today still we're without definite intor-
nation as to the identity of his abduc-
tors, as he maintained his silence at a
hospital.
County Prosecutor Clair Davis was
expected to again confer with the attor-
ney this morning in an effort to gain
further information. The county prose-
cutor also has taken steps toward hav-
ing Bickers remain in the city as
material witness.
Bickers' abductors warned him to
leave town, which he said he would do,
and he planned to leave as 500 as he
is able, provided the authorities fail to
have him detained.
Mayor John N. Brown, who recently
brought about the arrest of number
of alleged Swindlers, was being Swallowed
today by two detectives, as Bickers last
night said the mayor was next on the
list of the men who attacked him.
The attorney was believed to have
been the victim of attackers because OF
his recent activities in investigating
lawlessnesS in the county. The city
commission has voted a reward of $500
for the arrest and conviction of the
five men, and the county commission
was expected to take similar action
today.
Bickers was abducted as he returned
to his home from church Sunday
shortly after noon. The quintet covered
him with pistols. ordered him into their
car and drove to a woods where they
whipped him.

PARIS OFFICIALS GUARD
AGAINST TRAFFIC JAMS
Charge Increased License Fees and
Pass Autoists Through Gates
on Green Slips.

PARIS OP.-Increasing the Partisan
automobile license So or $40 year is
the newest proposal for means Of
doing away with the long delays leaving
and entering city gates.
Since medieval days vehicles have
had to stop at the octroi, or customs
offices, and pay duty on many products
The system applied to automobiles is to
give green slip on leaving and to take
it up on entering. The amount of gas
oline in the tank is marked on the slip
If more is brought back it is supposed
to pay duty of about cents gallon.
1t costs the city II per cent of its
octroi receipts to collect them, while Q
per cent covers ordinary tax collecting.
With that economy and the increased
license fees, it is calculated the city
would get as much money, traffic con-
gestion at the gates would be relieyed
and drivers would be happier. At the
same time, the duty on gasoline would
be equal to that assessed outside, so
drivers would fill their tanks in Paris,
helping local business.
