.'Donald Deals Death

Fierce clashes with British troops
at Peshawar, on the far northwest
frontier Of India, indicate that the
Indian revolution is on the march.
Two British soldiers and at least
twenty natives were killed in this
city, which is an important outpost
near the entrance to Kyber Pass,
when British Gurka troops fired
machine guns and rifles at demon
strators who had poured gasoline
on one of two armored patrol cars
and set it into a mass of flames
The two occupants of the burning
car were prevented from escaping.
In another section of the city a
police sergeant on a motorcycle was
attacked and killed by Infatuated
masses, who were demonstrating in
protest against the arrest of two
Indian congress leaders. At pres
ent the city is being patrolled by
British troops.
vi tilc OCueI kbltHlily VI luuld,
in Calcutta, Bengal, a vast crowd
stormed the gates of the prison,
holding Mayor J. M. Sen Gupta, who
was jailed six months ago for talk
ing part in the civil disobedience
movement, when they heard that
he had died or been killed in prison.
They were dispersed by police.
Meanwhile, Gandhi, who is spread
ing his poisonous propaganda of
non-resistance in the villages, has
been dwarfed into insignificant OBJ
security. Macdonald, acting for
British imperialism, is determined
to crush the Indian revolution in
blood. AS the revolution gains in
momentum, under the leadership of
the Indian proletariat and peasant
masses, Gandhi will attempt to
forge to the forefront again in an
effort to divert it into channels
harmless for British imperialism.

bic WAGE CUT IN
ANACONDA MINES
Try to Shift Burden of
Crisis to Workers

The Anaconda Copper Mining Co.
made public its decision today to
cut drasticaUy the wages of it's EN-
ployees and miners. Wages of EN-
ployees in Butte, Anaconda and
Great Falls will be reduced Is cents
a day, effective May 1. Miners
wages will be cut proportionately,
bringing the basis of mine wages to
$5.25 day.
The bosses excuse for the wage
cut is the recent slash in metal
prices and the prospect that little
or no increase of the present price
level can be expected. Here is an
other clear example of how the boss
class meet the crisis by shifting the
burden of the crisis on the Shout
ders of the working class.

CHICAGO dicks
LIE LIKE He'll.
Boss Gang'sters Deny
Beating Workers

CHICAGO, April 24.-Lieutenant
Barker. head of the bomb squad"
took the stand this afternoon and
brazenly denied beating any of the
las arrested in the unemployment
meeting on March 26th.
He also denied seeing any of them
beaten, or ordering any beatings or
hearing of any beatings, although
physicians came to the Jail to take
Williams, Negro worker, to the hos
pital. Even today, almost month
after the beatings, many of the
workers show outward marks of
the brutal terror of the strong
armed defenders of capitalism.
The class nature of the trial is
apparent from the start. All the
defendants are asked about the Com
munist Party. They told about SO
sick, battered and bruised workers
being jammed into a five by eight
foot cell without toilet, with mere
ly an open trench and no running
water, the air sinking and foul
One sick worker lay under bench
on the floor and cops threw buckets
of water on him. Kjar and Satir
told the jury how the bosses an
swered the demand for work or
Wages" with clubs and iailings, cit
ing high profits and vast unemploy-
ment. The prosecution tried to
make an issue of the atheism of
the defendants. But the judge
stopped them, when they started to
explain the role of the church under
capitalism. Neither the prosecutor
or judge know as much about Com
munism as the average Young
Pioneer.
1t is clear from the attitude and
statements Of the defendants that
no amount of brutality can keep
militant workers down. Chief of
Detectives, Siege, mentioned often
in his recital of the breaking up of
the meeting the orderly manner of
the Chicago detectives. The only
time Chicago detectives are orderly
and gentle is when they deal with
their gangster friends such as Ca
pone. Kjar told of Stege's threat
in jail to get the American Legion
to lynch him: he told of Bankers
threat to break his neck.
The defense will close tomorrow
with the testimony of the Negro
workers, Williams and Amos, who,
like other workers, have defied the
thugs threats of killing next time
they spoke, and have continued to
organize white and Negro workers.
