SCORN JUDGES
PARDON OFFER
80 And 30-Day Terms With Offer of
Freedom for Being Good Slaves.

SAN FRANCISCO, Calf, June 2.
Andrews and Garb were sentenced
to 80 days; G. Nagura, Ida Roth
stein and H. Nagura were given 80
days each for demonstrating against
the deportation of Comrades Ken
matsu and Hariouchi to be SEN
fenced to death in Japan. Their
demonstration, in which a large
number of San Francisco workers
accompanied them, was explained
and defended by each of them on
the witness stand in the trial, May
26. Andrews, accused by the po-
lice of assaulting them, proved that
he was the one assaulted by the
police and was beaten unconscious.
The police brought banners and
slogans displayed in the demonstra-
ton to court. The judge said that
if Rothstein and the others would
promise not to go on with "their
Communist business" he would par
don them. Rothstein shouted that
she would not do that if he gave
her six years, and that argument
was won.
Garb, who got 80 days, was not
even at the demonstration. He came
late, and apologized in court--for
coming late to the demonstration.

WRECKERS APPEAL TO
STATE; GET SLAPPED

The practice of wrecking houses
by pulling out floors first, forcing
workmen to climb around the shell
like flies on wall, has its latest
victim in John Moroz, who fell eight
stories from a building being de-
molished by the Albert A. Volk Co.
The House Wreckers' Union, be-
ing an A. F. of L. organization with
the usual leadership, saw nothing
better to do to still the resentment
of its rank and file than to appeal
to New York Labor Commissioner
Frances Perkins to have her inspec-
tors condemn the practice.
And a committee has been ap-
pointed by the New York state gov
eminent to investigate the COM
plant of the union, with Volk as a
member of it!

ty, the Trade Union Unity League,

defined by them as organizations
with such criminal purposes and
their members as guilty of criminal
syndicalism.
Perjurers Armed.
The three stool pigeons, Barber,
Chromichle and COLLEEN, hired by
the Growers Assn. and upon whose
framed up testimony the entire
case is based, are parading on the
streets and in the court room armed
to their teeth and trying hard to
impress upon everybody that their
100 per cent patriotism saved the
Imperial Valley from total destruc-
ton at the hands of the hated "agi-
tators."
But the workers are not fooled.
There is a rumble of hate against
the bosses who jailed their leaders.
This rumble is getting louder and
louder The bosses are frantic lest
their precious profits may be hurt
by strike. They made the valley
an armed camp, importing for
strong-arm work every available
gunman in addition to local "tal-
ents."
Right To Organize.
The l. L. D. in spite of the ter
ror, has opened up headquarters at
400 1 St., Brawley, and is going
ahead with the organizational
work in support of the workers on
trial. The 1. L. D. in conducting
this case is determined to bring
forth clearly the following central
issues:
Right of workers to organize
and strike.
Fright to self defense.
Bright to belong to Commu-
mist Party and other militant work
ers' organizations.
This policy has the full endorse
ment of all the defendants in the
case. Workers throughout the
country are called upon to mobilize
for an effective protest against the
attempts to railroad 9 workers to
AZ years of living death in San
Quentin.

June 7 Meets
FOR ALL SOUTH
Protest Atlanta Cases
on Gastonia Date

GREENVILLE, S. c., June L.
Textile workers of Greenville are
planning to demonstrate on Satur-
day, June 7, the first anniversary
of the defense of the Gastonia tex
tile strikers tent colony. The dem
onstration will be against the ar
rest and Imprisonment Of the six
workers at Atlanta, now facing the
electric chair.
Anna Burlak, one of the Atlanta
prisoners, was an organizer here for
the National Textile Workers Union
before going to Atlanta to represent
the International Labor Defense in
organizing the struggle for the lives
of M. H. Powers and Joseph Carr.
She had only been in Atlanta for
a few days in this capacity when
she, too, was arrested.
There has been a growing resent
ment against the arrest Of Anna
Burlak and the other Atlanta pris-
oners among the workers in the
Woodside, Duncan, Mills, Poe, Samp-
son, Poinsett and the Brandon Mills.
In her capacity as organizer of the
union, Anna Burlak has held many
meetings at these mills, many of
them at midnight, when the night
shift gets 80 minutes off for lunch,
many coming out of the mills dur
ing this short rest period for a
breath of fresh air.
She has also spoke in nearby
towns, such as Conastee, Clinton,
Greer, Spartanburg, Seneca, Wal
halla, where she did valuable work
Tor the union and where her arrest
and Imprisonment have become
central topic of discussion among
the workers.
Meeting Today.
This Greenville textile mill area
includes about 40 mills, employing in
normal times 10000 workers.
Union activity in this area is now
in charge of W. G. Binkley, who is
organizing preparatory meeting
on Monday at 222 River st. at II
o'clock noon.
WINSTON, SALEM, N. c., June
dewey Martin, writing on June
7, the Day That Shook the Entire
Solid South" says: "The lessons
and experiences of June T, when
workers fought in self defense, and
saved themselves from massacre,
and the events before and after that
day last year, will serve to mobilize
many thousands of tobacco workers
who are shaving II and IL hours a
day here, and the thousands of tex
tile workers, on starvation wages"
