Fake Freedom Is EX-
posed

and never would. In effect, he
proved the constitution is uncon-
stitutional, and the free speech and
free assemblage clauses are put
there to fool the masses-they don't
mean what they say. Communists
have said this before, and some OF
them have been put in Jail for say
ing it, but now the capitalist spokes-
man himself proclaims it. Gree
speech" yes, "free assemblage," yes,
argues the prosecution, but with
restrictions, suitable to a great COM
mercial nation whose streets are
primarily for profit making, and not
for people to walk on.
Back to Blackstone.
Charles permitted free assembly
as long as no more than ten were
assembling; Blackstone defends this,
the English law is the root of the
constitutional provision, and the
sentence at the end of the vicious
statute under which Foster, Minor,
Amter, Raymond and Lesten were
convicted, which says that nothing
in the statute shall prohibit the as
sembling of the people to present
their grievances to the government
is Just a codification of the con-
stitution. Time after time (Ben-
venga cited the cases) the high
courts have held that workers can't
use the streets or gather to make
speeches if the police don't give
them a permit to do so.
And there's your constitutional
right of free speech and assem-
blage."
Elder, for the workers now in Jail,
pointed out that the ordinance pro-
hibiting parades without a permit
is drawn so that the police can use
their own discretion practically as
TO granting parade permit and
absolutely as to what restrictions
to put on it, thus, in the language
of the constitution, "abridging" the
right of assembly. He also pointed
out that if you violate this ordinance
and parade you get $40 fine or 10
days, but if you merely assemble
for the purpose of breaking it (the
charge against the jobless leaders,
you get three years.
The defense argues that both
these laws are violations of the
constitution, and that the wrong
one was used to convict the leaders.
1t was also shown with wealth
OF detail that 10000 workers and
iobless on March desired to use
the streets to walk on them, nom
'nally their purpose, to the seat of
government and protest starvation.
The police commissioner ruled that
the streets were first for the bust
ness of profit making, for business
men and business traffic, and the
workers could not use them. The
parade ordinance is thus used to
prohibit the assemblage of workers
at the seat of government, one Of
their intentions on March 6.

to stop us from holding meetings or
from distributing leaflets. The work
ers of this city have them. beat,
though. While the dicks are follow
ing us around, the militant section
of the working class of this city is
busily engaged in the distribution
of leaflets and organizing the rest
of the working class into the left
wing organizations, like the Trade
Union Unity League and Interna-
tional Labor Defense.
Daily our numbers are growing,
in spite of the many difficulties con-
fronting us.
The bosses have an idea that by
hiring a gang of dicks and stool
pigeons to follow us around that we
will get frightened and run away,
but they are very sadly mistaken.
We are here to stay, to organize the
workers for struggle against tseir
oppressors and to overthrow the
whole capitalist system and put the
workers in power; both Negro and
white, to struggle for better condi-
lions, against lynching, for full So
ciaI, economic and political equal
ity for Negro workers.
Long live the solidarity Of both
Negro and white workers.

MEMPHIS, Miss, June 3.-"We
always give first preference when
there is job open to man who
comes recommended by the police
and deputy sheriffs," explained the
guide at the Memphis plant of the
Fisher Body Co. "In return, they
do little favors for us. When there
is man who makes trouble out
here we telephone downtown and
ask for one of them to come out
and get him. They lock him up
without charges, on the ground that
a breach Of the peace is threatened.
"Then some time later, when we
get ready to have him let out, we
pass the word along and he is re-
leased. No charges are brought
against him at any time. Once we
had Q Negro locked up. He stayed
there . month and a half, and then
one day they asked us what we in
tended doing with him. We had
forgotten all about him!"

took refuge in Buenos Aires, has

the cabinet to run the government,
that he, as the vice president has
the illegal right" to assume the

Siles has resigned, he, Saavedra, is
president and orders to chief of
staff of the army to "put itself

also said he was returning to Boil

The cabinet, doubtless at the
word of U. S. bankers agents in
La Paz, the capital, where nothing
is done without consent of the
financial mission" of Dillon Read,
replied that Saavedra could go
jump in the lake. But Saavedra
again addressing the army chief
demanded the army uphold the
constitution and assure his safety

for Saavedra to send his orders to

Bolivian dispatches give an inter
esting picture of how Bolivia's gov
eminent, supervised by the Dillon
Reed Bankers of Wall Street, is run.
Two years ago, under the "finan-
cial mission" of Dillon Read which
is recognized by the U. S. govern
ment, a difference arose between
factions of the Bolivian bourgeois
officials, President Siles exiting
Vice-President Abdon Saavedra and
a number of congressman, etc, sup
posedly over a dispute about the
budget.
Siles' term of office expires this
year on August 6. Saturday he
resigned, the reason being hidden
behind official statement that it
was for "high reasons of state"
He had been running the govern
ment without a budget as required
by the Constitution" and the
Saavedra faction accused him not
only of dictatorship but of graft.
1t appears that his resignation was
merely a game to leave the gov
eminent in hands of his clique in
the cabinet, which would call an
election" of a new national as
sembly" that would re-elect him,
thus giving his dictatorship some
formal legal standing.
The election" was called for
June 27 for the assembly which
was called for July %, thus putting
Siles back in power legally before
the deadline of his regular term

There is no bath house on this job;
No place in which our clothes to
scrub.
This is rag camp, with dirt floors;
The toilets reek with foul odors (;
We pack nosebags which we put up
ourselves.
We pack balloons in dirty rolls,
And sleep on beds Of knotty poles;
And we walk to and from work on
our time,
And we work, aye, pace that
kills, in swamp and slime;
In the mess hall to stop their slaves
from whining,
Is this sign, in huge letters, "No

But some day these slaves will take
a fall,
And realize that "unorganized"
