State Supreme Court Upholds
LII Year GastOnia Sentence
BULLETIN,

RALEIGH, N. C., Aug. 20
The supreme court of North Caro-
lima showed its favoritism for the
United Textile Workers while
confirming sentences on National
Textile Workers Union organ
izers. 1t overruled the conviction
of Alfred Hoffman, organizer of
the U. T. w. at Marion, where
strikers were shot down by the
sheriff and his men.
RALEIGH, N. c., Aug. 20.-Ex-
@ctly in the week that witnesses
new strike struggles of the textile
workers in North Carolina, the
State Supreme Court, supposed to
be in summer recess, has sud
denly handed down its long delayed
decision in the famous Gastonia
trial of the seven textile workers
and organizers, Fred Beal, Clarence
Miller, Louis Mclaughlin, George
Carter, William McGinnis, Joseph
Harrison and X. Y. Hendricks, de-
claring that these workers must
serve a total of lit years in prison.
An attempt by the American
Mills Co. to operate their Mills No.
and at Bessemer City, ended
yesterday with a walk out of the
rest of the workers, and those en-
ticed into the mills after the strike
started. The mills were completely
closed down today.
1t is not true, as previously
stated, that the National Textile
Workers Union is leading the
strike. The workers came out fight
ing determinedly against a wage
cut of from 20 to 30 per cent. The
National Textile Workers Union is
favored by many as leader. They
desire to follow the policy of mill
tant strike action, and of spreading
the strike to the company's mills in

HECkERT TALKS

Italian Federation Is in
Red International
Wireless IN lRprecorr)


MOSCOW, U. S. S. R., Aug. 90
Heckert, delegate to the Fifth
World Congress of the Red Inter-
national of Labor Unions from the
powerful left wing opposition in
the German trade unions spoke to-
day on concrete trade union prob
/ lens.
(The Red International is the
world center of revolutionary unions
and militant minorities in reform
list unions. At its Fifth World Con-
gress, which went into session in
! Moscow Aug. Is, and still continues,
So countries are represented. There
are 80 delegates from U. S.--Ed.)
Heckert's discussion was made in
the light Of Bolshevist, feminist self
criticism. He pointed out that the
International Federation of Trade
Unions (The Yellow, or Amsterdam
lnternationaD fails to recogniz.
that there is a world economic
crisis. Some comrades also, Heck
ert states, believe in the possibility
of organized capital, The Red In
ternationai of Labor Unions must
Danish this error.
Correct Slogan.
Discussing the problem of the
workers attitude to reformist lead
ers in countries without Red trade
unions, Heckert states that the cor
rect slogan is not Compel the lead
ers to fight the BOSSES" but "Or-
ganize independent struggles"
Strike experience in recent years,
Ileckert proved, has shown the re-
formists side with the employers
but the workers recognize the neces-
sty of revolutionary tactics against
the bosses without, and struggle
against the reformist leaders from
within the unions.
Economic strikes are becoming
more political and revolutionary.
The Italian delegation declared
that the Italian Labor Federation
joins the r. !. L. U.
Delegate Mirzah of India told of
the growing revolutionary move
ment there despite national reform
list treachery.

Usual, Not
KNOWN

TABORO, N. c., Aug. 20.-Al-
though more of the 200 fiends who
! lynched Oliver Moore, 29-year-old
Negro farm laborer, were unmasked
when they were permitted to enter
the Edgecombe County Jail here to
get their victim, capitalist authori-
ties Investigating" this latest out
rage report today the usual "no
progress" In the meantime, so
clear is the collision between the
lynchers and the capitalist Jail
authorities that the coroner's jury
feels constrained to delay for few
days the usual verdict of "lynched
by mob of persons unknown"
Gov. 0. Max Gardner, who is still
mentioning in the northern part of
the state, and was yesterday re-
ported to have promised a State
Investigation" of the crime is, by
reports reaching here today, "un-
determined whether the state would
make an investigation"
The lynching occurred early Tues
day morning when a mob of 200
that travelled in expensive auto
| mobiles entered, unchallenged and
with the connivance of the prison
authorities, the Edgecombe County
all and took Moore out of his cell.
He was taken fifteen miles from the
city and strung up, his body riddled
with more than 200 bullets. He
was accused of attacking the two
daughters of a white planter on
whose farm he worked. Accusation
of rape, followed by lynching, is the
usual answer of the southern bosses
/ to Negro workers demanding their
wages.
INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 20.-In a
huge mass meeting held here last
night at Tomlinson Hall, under the
leadership of the Communist Party,
Negro and white workers Of this
city denounced the lynching terror
of the bosses and called upon the
workers of all races to unite in
revolutionary struggle against the
system which breeds such outrages
against the working class.

 "Laff That Off" is one of those seemingly unpretentious things which excites your disabilities at the start and keeps you chuckling or laughing until the fall of the cur tain The situations are amusing. the dialogue is crisp and the business Is 5ure-fro.
 The plot Of "Laff That Off' is suf- fciontly different to catch the fancy and 10 give capable company splendid opportunities for unusual ly clever acting. It has to do with three young men, a vaudeville actor and two reporters who are living in lodgings, and who adopt an un- known and pretty young woman as I member Of their gang" with the promise and understanding that none Of them shall fall in love with her. Naturally all three of them proceed 10 do 70. All have their taith in human nature unexpected ly shattered, but in the end it is re- stored and whether or not one Of the young men finally wins bride is left for the reader to find out at the Capitol theater.
 Matinces are Wednesdays and Saturdays, and nightly performances gre at S:15. All seats are reserved, including over 800 on the orchestra floor, for 50 cents. Phone 1230 for reservations.

There is no doubt, however, as in Pas mind as to which she ought 10 marry, and he expresses himself in no uncertain term, both 10 his wife and his daughter. His acting is sure 10 be one of the outstanding features of the coming show.

 Besides Queenie Smith, who rcigns in her own right in the realm of musical comedy, the producers have included in a regiment of talent Nick Long, Jr.. who can jump a mile high-well, perhaps not mile-Frank Lalor who has been musical comedying all over the world since he left that dear Law renee, Mass, many years ago; the large and plump George Hassell, Harry K.
