WINSTON SALEM, N. c., Mar.
I'm. H. Powers, district organ

sentenced this morning to three
months on the chain gang in a Wins
ton-Salem city court on the framed
up charge of carrying concealed

Ebert Totherow, youth organizer
of the National Textile Workers
Union, and 81 Gerson, N.T.W.U.
organizer, were acquitted in the
same case.
All were arrested yesterday while
in car in a crowded city street. The
arrest and frame-up follows the
sentencing of Dewey Martin, district
organizer of the N.T.W., on a fake
charge of not having money enough
in the bank for a $40 check (the
money was deposited in check form,
and the bank had not collected it as
it should) and the frame-up cases
of insanity" ETC., launched against
Amy Schechter and other organizers

part of a general campaign of South

and try by this means to prevent

A Class Case.
The trial of Powers, Gerson and
Totherow quickly showed its class

Supreme Court Justice Ford and

demonstrators in Union Square to
tell Mayor Walker the jobless want

and some other things.
The case was in open court, SUI
preme Court Special Term, Part |,
and the debate was provoked by the
order granted the defense attorneys
the day before by Judge McCook,
calling upon the district attorney to
show cause why the case of the five
delegates should not be changed
from special sessions to general ses-
sions. The point in this change is
that special sessions is peculiarly
atrocious New York capitalist insti-

Judges, and can get sentence of
three years in prison without any
trial by jury. In general sessions
you get jury.

Pope WHIPS UP
WAR HYSTERIA
Prayers Lay Basis for

ROME Vatican City,, Mar. 49,
Pope Plus XI, doing the bidding of
the imperialfst masters continued the
campaign of whipping up war
spirit against the Soviet Union in
the interest of world capitalism.
Plus preached before a crowd of
1000 mostly rich parasites who had
money enough to gather for the
anti-Soviet meeting at st. Peters
basilica. The pope, bedecked in
jewels worth hundreds of thousands
Of dollars, while millions of workers
starve throughout the world, called
in mystical terms for armed inter-
vention by the imperialist powers
against the workers republic in be-
half of the kulaks and capitalists.
MOSCOW (By MaiD.-Comrade
Yaroslavsky, speaking to foreign
correspondents here pointed out that
the laws of the Soviet Union are the
only laws in the entire world which
provide for freedom ~of conscience
and religious beliefs, as well as sci
entific teachings, in contrast to the
United States, where the capitalist
state in Tennessee carried on a
heresy trial against scientific teach
ings.
He referred to the following quo
tation in the pamphlet, Communists
and Religion:
"Our Party is carrying on a strug-
gle against religious prejudices, re-
ligious creeds by means of science
and enlightenment, by means of
books, newspapers, lectures, films,
informal talks directed against re-
ligion and religious deception. Our
program warns all Communists that,
in carrying on this work, they must
act in a manner not to offend the
feelings of true believers, because
by offending the feelings Of true be-
levers, one does not weaken but can
only strengthen religious beliefs"

CUBA GENERAL
STRIKE SET
FOR THURSDAY

Many Arrests Made; by
Bloody Machado

Havana dispatches Wednesday
gave news that the general strike
set for Thursday was ordered in all
industries and public utilities and
that all the desperate efforts of the
fascist government, the lackey of
Wall Street imperialism, were I'M
able to stop it despite the score
more of working class leaders ar
rested in the last "a hours.
The strike in Cuba is one of the
sharpest struggles connected with
the mass political strike and DEM
onstrations called for all over Latin
America by the Latin American
Trade Union Confederation of Mon
tevideo, Uruguay, in protest against
the unemployment of great masses
who are doc.ed to starvation by
capitalism.
In Cuba, however, the working
class is especially angry at the
Machado government which has or
dered the closing down of the Ma
tional Confederation of Labor and
the Havana Federation of Labor,
and the arrest of many of the work
ing class leaders.
An example of the resentment
shown by the Cuban workers is the
resolution passed by the cigar MAX
ers of Havana, which says in part:
eve protest collectively and pub
Gcly the attack on the Corfedera-
cion Nacional Obrera de Cuba and
the Federation Obrera de la Ha-
bana, genuine class organizations
that lead the working class strug-
gle; we protest especially against
the decree of hte government de-
claring the functions of these or
CARNATIONS suspended, and against
the unheard of and lying campaign
with which the bourgeoisie tries to
Justify their persecution of the
workers movement-aided by yell
low lackeys.

Tending our organizations, and as
proletarians we pledge ourselves to
maintain them. We demand that

BERLIN, March 19.-The scandal
over the fascist Prick, minister of
the interior of Thuringia Zone of the
German states) has come to a head.
Communist accusations against Prick
have been ignored, but today formal
information was filed with the pro-
secutor's office in Leipzig charging
Prick with high treason, prepara-
tions for a putsch and the develop
ment of the Thuringian police into
a party weapon of the fascists.
The socialist" Severing, minister
Of interior of the Reich, has written
to the Thuringian government re-
questing that it answer his previous
letter of February II, as the failure
to reply represented an insult from
Frick. Severing declares that he is
given instruction to break off cor
respondence with Thuringia and stop
the subsidies to it from the Reich,
particularly for the police, until the
affair is settled.
This "heroic" action of Severing
against Prick, the fascist minister,
is to be contrasted with Ebert's ac-
ton in 1923 against the Communist
ministers in the Saxon government,
when the dissolution of the Saxon
government was ordered, and the
Reichstag issued a declaration for
the dictatorship of the Reichswehr
which invaded Saxony and slaugh-
tered the workers.
