Fighting Fascism

LUBLIN, Poland, Aug. 9.--The
details of the bloody massacre of
class war prisoners here who DEM
onstrated on International Red Day,
Aug. 1, are just becoming known.
The iron-clad censorship of the Pill
sudski dictatorship took special
pains to keep this outrage from
reaching the outside world.
Two class war prisoners were
killed, six severely wounded and
many others were less seriously in
jured during the murderous police
assault. Lublin prison was little
better than a shambles after it was
over. The prison contains 120 polit-
ical prisoners and At common pris-
oners. On International Red Day
the political prisoners, all thrown
into Jail for their opposition to the
fascist Pilsudski regime, committed
the heinous crime of singing the In
ternationale in the courtyard. This
so infuriated the authorities that the
class war prisoners were violently
incarcerated in punishment cells.
The prisoners, unintimidated, bar
ricaded the cell doors. Police and
firemen were called and while the
latter played a hose on the prison
ers the police maintained a heavy
carbine fire, slaughtering and wound
ing the heroic prisoners.
The bourgeois newspapers report
that order has now been restored.

This creates a critical situation

to heavy shipments to France dur

The policy of the prosecution has
obviously been to quell the mass
protest by pretending to abate the
ferocity of its attack. The change

charges against the three women
