RAISE BAIL ON
DAYTON WORKERS.
This Judge Afraid of
Workers. Rise

DAYTON, o., Aug. 3.-The bail
for Rose Clark and John Andrews
arrested in the demonstration of
unemployed workers before Mayor
MacDonald's office in Dayton was
raised to $1,000.
Saturday morning Clark and An
drew appeared in court. Judge
Holdapp proved what willing tool
he is and the prejudice he has for
the Communists or any worker.
The request for a continuance was
granted as the defendants attorney
was not yet secured. Judge Holdapp
however, wanted to determine
whether or not to raise the bond"
He called the two camrades to the
witness stand and began firing ques-
lions at them. When asked why they
could not have trial as any other
defendant the judge said she wanted
to know all the details in the case"
After questioning the comrades
and delivering lecture about Com
munism that it cannot be brought
into Dayton, that we cannot try here
what we try in Cleveland or New
York, he tried to get a promise
from the two representatives of the
unemployed that "they would do no
more demonstrating in the city
streets, shouting and singing" and
he would not raise the bail.
There is something sort of grim
in the way the judge tried to make
the workers who came to hear the
outcome of the trial of the Unem-
ployed Council Demonstration be-
lieve that Communism has no place
in Dayton. Most of them had been
at the demonstration and marched
along with hundreds others because
they were hungry. Dayton's fac
tories are shutting down one by one.
Women are working for 7 and 8
dollars a week. The women in the
cigar factories working 8 hours a
day receive two dollars a day. Men
with jobs as laborers on the Penn.
r. r. are working for $14 a week.
The National Cash Register is plan
ming another cut after the workers
return from their "two weeks vaca-
ton" which was forced on them be-
ginning Monday.

POLICE CLUB INDIANS
WHILE GANDHI PARLEYS

Capitalist press dispatches from
Bombay over the weekend report
that the Gandhi leaders are con-
tinuing their negotiations with the
imperial government, but that on
Saturday the masses demonstrated
in Bombay in commemoration of the
death, ten years ago of a nation
alist leader, B. G. Tikla, an dthat
police attacking the demonstration
injured by clubbing "between 60 and
300" demonstrators.
1t is obviously another case, of
which there are many in India, of
the masses of workers ready to
struggle against Imperialism, and
the Gandhi leadership trying to be-
tray them.
Vallabhai Patel, acting president
of the Gandhi Congress-; Mala-
viva, president of its working COM
mittee, and four others have been
arrested, an dtrial postponed.

starve for thirty years until they
reach 10. And if they are phys
ically cable" to earn few dollars,
though they can find no job, the
law denies them relief, also if a
child exists or other relatives "re-

possibly unable to find work them

worker any relief.
Then the additional restrictions:
The aged worker must be a citizen,
a resident of New York State for
ten years, and so on. This, al
though the aged worker may have
toiled his whole lifetime piling up
profits for his boss or bosses, and
despite the fact that a non-citizen
needs help and gets just as hungry
as a citizen.
But after all these bars are over
come, the aged worker of 70 or
more years, will get, if he is lucky,
miserable $50 per month, a sum
no one can live on. Compared to
this, the Social Insurance Bill of the

country to normalcy.

and a private of the civil guard
injured in an encounter between
civil guards and revolutionaries at
ASpe. in the province of Alicante
Rcvolutionists attempted to disarm
civil guards and reserve troops were
called out to restore order.
Rumors of a cabinet crisis were
denied by Minister of National
