LABOR jury Gives
verdict BY RADIO
Calls Upon Workers to
Rally to Defense

Thousands of workers heard the
decision of the Labor Jury in the
Gastonia case over the radio last
night when Henry Buckley, New
York shoe worker and a member of
the jury, broadcasted the working
class verdict.
"Our verdict is not guilty." he
declared, was the working-class ver-
dict. Guilty is the capitalist class
decision. The strikers were tried on
their racial, religious and political
beliefs. Workers the land over must
rally to the defense of these labor
leaders, victims of capitalist court
justice and the bosses Black Hun
dreds. Workers must support the
International Labor Defense, the

trial"

plotted Southern workers. struggle
against the stretch-out, starvation
wages, and child labor, to intensity
their fight against this offensive of

Fight Just Started.
1--WE have only just begun to fight
for our leaders in the capitalist
jails," Dewey Martin said today.
"The mill workers of the South will
stand by their fellow workers until
they are free to lead us again in
our fight against the bosses. We
know that the workers in other in
dustries all over the country will
rally to the support of the l. L. D.

Men MEET TONITE
Irving Plaza Scene of
Drive for Industrial
Union Meeting
Want No AFL Fakers
Have Learned Lesson
of Betrayed Oil Strike

Irving Plaza Hall will be the
scene tonight for a meeting of vital
Importance to chauffeurs, oil truck
drivers, garage and gas filling sta
ton attendants, and other workers
in the industry, determined upon
breaking with the misleadership of
the Teamsters' Union which has
deliberately smashed the strike of
the oil truck drivers, and crippled
every effort these workers have
made recently for real gains.
The bulk of the industry is un-
organized, and will welcome real
industrial union that is to be the
main topic of the meeting.
Have Learned Lesson.
The workers have been called out
and betrayed, left unorganized and
"rationalized" so much recently that
they are taking matters into their
own hands now and are rallying to
build a real industrial union. All are
invited to the meeting tonight at
s p. m.
With most of those who will be
there, the recent lessons in the oil
strike are very plain. An official
dom such as that of the teamsters'
union, which never notifies the men
of the progress of the strike, gives
them no say in managing it, refuses
to sprea dit, and spreads defeatism
at every opportunity, is no use to
these men. They don't want weak
craft union anyway, they want a
strong industrial union.
