SMASH FEDERAL
CASE ON LA RUE
Young Worker Handed
Leaflets on Emden

NEW ORLEANS, La, March ~.
La Rue has been released. This
young worker was arrested for dis
tributing to sailors on the Emden
leaflets calling on them to fight
against the next world war, and to
defend the Soviet Union. The In
ternational Labor Defense was, in
the words of a spectator, able to
make the federal bulls look like
balloons in cage full of tigers"
and the attempt to make a case of
violation of neutrality laws of it
was a failure.
La Rue tells the story himself,
as follows:
Several days ago I was helping
some of the comrades who are sta
toned here to distribute some leaf
lets to the German sailors of the
Cruiser Emden. (This is the same
cruiser upon which there recently
occurred mutiny, accompanied by
the hosting of the Red Flag.)
"These leaflets were printed in
German, warning the German sailors
of the impending new world war, and
the necessity for fighting against
such war, also the part that CAPT.
talist governments play in world
events and class struggles.
Gust as 1 was leaving the cruiser,
stepping on the gangplank, an Of
ficer, a policeman, stopped me with
a question as to what l was doing,
or words to that effect. He then
showed me leaflet similar to those
I had been distributing and asked
a German stool-pigeon (who had
been trailing me with about ten
others) if the leaflet was NIGHT
Gut? The reactionary counter revo-
lutionist replied that the leaflet was:
'Bolshieviski, Red, etc." Then the
American bull took me into custody
and with a guard of four other
armed thugs he guarded me in
warehouse office until the patrol
wagon arrived to carry me into the
precinct station.
While waiting there I learned that
the cruiser was closed to any more
visitors while in port, and that an
alarm was sounded, and all visitors
rushed ashore. There was also some
official or dock executive who put
in a call for three more watchmen
to be sent to the warehouse at once,
showing how the business men CO.
operate with the forces of oppres-
sion.
"Due to the prompt action of In
ternational Labor Defense in taking
proper measures for my defense, de-
manding an immediate hearing, the
case was brought up before the U. s.
Commissioner, and dismissed.
"The charge, fellow workers, was
to the following effect: 'Wilfully,
maliciously, and knowingly, did the
said party distribute literature on
the German Cruiser Emden, calcu-
lated to stir up feeling of enmity
between the United States and Ger
many"

elimination of harrington, the $685.

Coal Co. is merely a trick to mis-
lead the miners.
Yesterday, when a motion was
made to expel Fishwick and Nesbit,
his associate in district office, John
Hindmarsh, a former progressive,
rose and denounced the motion, then
on the vote taken, it was defeated,

draw the fat salary of $4,000 a year

contrasts with the National Miners

that of a miner in the pits.
Howat Calls in Senate.
Howat emphasized his complete
treason to labor and should disillu-
sion any who still believe him a mill
tant, by proposing to the convention
to send a telegram to Senator
Wheeler, urging the senate to start
an inquiry into the United Mine
Workers of America, which "for the
last ten years Lewis has ruled with
the merciless hand of Borgia and
has ruined with the recklessness of
a power-drunken Tamerlane." No
one disputes the facts stated above,
but miners look askance at the idea
of placing any organization calling
itself union openly in the hands
of the U. S. senate of big business
representatives.
Freeman Thompson, n. NJ. U.
president, whose challenge to Howat
to debate on what the split U. M.
W. A. will do for the miners but
sell them out as Lewis did, has
never been answered, stated yester-
day:
"The Peabody Coal Co. is using
Howat, Brophy, Germer, ETC., in the
effort to further their plans of
speed-up and wage cuts. The Spring
field gathering proves the claims of
the N. M. U. that the so-called
Music group is wing of the coal
industry and an instrument of the
operators to confuse and divide the
ranks of the workers.
"The struggle of the N. M. U.
in Illinois and all mine fields is
now directed in ever sharper fashion
against the Howats and Brophys by
the most essential preparation of a
series of district conferences previ-
Gus to the national convention of
