MULROONEY TO
FIX TER MS FOR
JOBLESS LEADERS
Whalen Head Cossack
Is on Parole Board;
Indefinite Delay
No Appeal Decision
Meanwhile 4 in Jail;
Workers Must Act
No Appeal Decision

NEW YORK.-Police Commits
sioner Mulrooney will be witness,
jury and sentencing Judge against
Foster, Minor, Amter and Raymond
whenever the parole board finally
meets and determines sentences on
the four members of the Unem-
ployed Delegation, who are now
serving indeterminate sentences in
three separate prisons.
On March 6 Mulrooney was still
Whalen's field marshal, and Whalen
used him as a star witness against
the defendants. Now, by virtue of
his new position, he automatically
becomes one of the five voting men,
bers of the parole board which is
to pass final sentence in these
cases.
Another Outrage.
If it is still possible to be sur
prised at the lengths of indecency
to which the courts of New York
are prepared to go to insure class
justice against class war prisoners,
this is perhaps an occasion for such
surprise. For this blatantly denies
the most fundamental of all the pre-
fences made by capitalist courts
which maintain that judge is an
impartial hearer of all evidence, for
and against a prisoner.
The whole procedure against the
Unemployed Delegation shrieks
aloud of class justice against the
leaders of the fight for work or
wages.
Conviction was pushed through in
less than one day. The men were
held incommunicado. Lawyers fur
nished by the International Labor
Defense were at first not permitted
to see any of the prisoners. They
were held without bail, they were
denied a jury trial and the trial
which was held was flayed by even
the capitalist newspapers as a far
cical procedure.
Indefinite Delay.
At the office of the parole board
the International Labor Defense has
been informed that nobody knows
when consideration of these cases
will be taken up. The parole board,
according to Secretary Minnick, has
100 per cent more cases this year
than last; it is now two months be-
hind in its work and will not hire
additional assistance. Meanwhile
the jobless leaders are in prison.
Tuesday the sixth postponement of
the hearing on charges of felonious
assault was made. This time until
July 2.
The appeal on this case was ar
gued before the appellate division
on June 3. The five judges who
heard it Immediately took up a new
case and gave no decision from that
day to this. Now the rumor is that
for some unexplained reason they
will not decide until after the parole
board fixes the sentence.
Letters, kilograms and petitions
should be sent to the parole board
by everyone. demanding the ilnme-
date release of Foster, Minor, AM
ter and Raymond.

FASCIST ATTACK
ON DAILY WORKER

WASHINGTON, D. c., June Is,
"A magnifying glass was placed
over the Daily Worker in an open
session of the Fish Anti-Communist
Investigation" today.
Communist activity and influence
were discussed by Walter Steele,
the general manager of the "red-
batting" paper, the National Re
public" and Mr.. Burton, attorney
for the hysterical ladies of the
Daughters of the American Revo-
luton"
These two worthless agreed that
there are two million sympathizers
of the Communist Party in the U. S.,
and from thirteen to fifteen thou
sand members of the Party, who
are, these anti-reds say, organizers
directing other organizations.
Congressman Bachman of West
Virginia repeatedly demanded facts
the Committee could use, but both
witnesses offered only "red-baiting"
hot air. They are strangers to facts,
in fact enemies of facts.
A lengthy discussion took place
on how to stop all Communist pro-
paganda and outlaw the Communist
Party, the revolutionary trade IN
ions, the liberal organizations and
any and all who may agree with
the Communists on any point.
Burton quoted Trotsky's state
ment of some years ago calling for
the overthrow of government. Bach
man agreed with the "red-baiters"
that there ought to be federal law
ito reach a man who made state
ments like that" The necessity of
the bosses for law to "reach"
radicals who don't speak their views
but get them over" was stressed.
1t was also clearly the viewpoint
of the Committee that Communist
papers and all papers which support
Communists on any point, should be
deprived of the use of the mails,
and that there should be more de-
portations by making stronger"
deportation laws.
Congressman Nelson started a
discussion on whether the motives
of Communist leaders were selfish,
the gable over this boiling down
to Burton's position, which is that
Communist leaders acts are caused
by their revolutionary principles
which are dictated by selfish reasons
handed down in some way like here
Gity-whatever that means.
After unsubstantiated charges
from Burton that the Amtorg Trad
ing Corporation is the financial
source of Communist propaganda,
Bachman stated that there was no
evidence of this yet, and he though
that the Amtorg would be the last
organization for Russia to work
through for propaganda.
The Committee requested a Mrs
Walker, the OAR. red expert" tn
appear tomorrow at an open sessio
with her attorney, following her
request to testify secretly. EvidenS-
ly the "expert" dame is afraid to
tell publicly what nonsense she
spreads secretly.

workers should take part Friday.
The leaflet reminds them that their
elected delegates to lay demands for
work or wages before New York
City officials are in prison, and
that the National Textile Workers
Union Georgia organizer, Mary
Dalton, is held with five other or
ganizers in Atlanta Jail, to be cleo
trocuted if the bosses have their
way, just because she was organ
izing workers to fight the slave
system.

on by frequent treatments by Or.

and DR.. Tombaugh, resident ply
sician, after the patient has been
recommended for same. In some pa
tients this treatment can not be- un
dertaken and another operation
known as phrenicotomy, or the
severance and extraction Of the
phrenic nerve, is done for the pur-
pose Of resting the lung. DR.. Mark
usually has several of these opera
tions to do at the sanatorium on his
weekly visits.
We have been very much interest
ed in one of the patients, former
newspaper writer by profession
whose chances of recovery were dl-
minishing and who had been re-
garded as suitable patient for
major surgical operation known as
a thoracoplasty. There are three
stages or three operations In this
surgical treatment. Mr.. Phillips
states that few weeks ago the pa
tient in question was removed to the
White Cross hospital, at Columbus,
where thoracoplasty, or rib resec-
ton, was done wholly and entirely
by DR.. Louis Mark with the White
Cross hospital staff assisting. The
first stage of this operation required
but eighteen minutes for the first in
cision, the removal of four sections
Of rib measuring about six inches,
and the closing of the incision. The
patient is convalescing nicely and it
is expected and hoped that her re-
covery will give her many years OF
usefulness. Mr.. Phillips being in
Columbus at the time of the opera
ton, was invited by DR.. Mark to
witness it.
