WORKERS defended their union hall in Cen
w traha Washington on Nov II, 1919 against
what was practically fascist outrage. The
Lumber Trust, deliberately conspired to murder
and burn out the I.W.W. Lumber Workers Indus
trial Union, the militant organization in that
industry at that time Chowever the IwW. has
collapsed since). They sent the American Le-
gion, then as now fascist organization, to do
the job BY every point even of bourgeois law
the lumber workers inside their hall had the in
violable right to resist such an attack. They did
resist; in fact they killed four of the attacking
force.
AS result they were convicted of second de-
gree murder in court surrounded by Legion
naires and militia, with jury of which nine out
of twelve afterwards signed statements admitting
that the men did not have fair trial Some
jurors admit they convicted because they thought
the men would be lynched if not convicted and
some jurors admit they convicted because they
thought the jury would be lynched if it didn't
convict. The evidence did not count much.
Eight Sent Up.
Eight men sentenced to what amounts to
life imprisonment. One of these, Loren Roberts
was found insane" and in defiance of all law
was confined with the others in Walla Walla
penitentiary, serving an indeterminate sentence
up to life. Britt Smith, o. C. Bland, Bert Bland

chief traitor to Labor, and the early militant
leaders, were hanged, driven to suicide, i'm

Protest Police Brutality.
The circumstances of their arrest and trial can
not be more than outlined here. A meeting in
protest against police brutality and the killing of
workers in front of the Mccormick Reaper Works
on May 8, 1886, was held in The Haymarket
square on May T. with Spies, Parsons, and
Samuel Fielder as speakers. 1t was attacked by
police and some one, not the leaders Immediately
afterwards arrested, bombed the police.
A packed jury, stool pigeon lies, newspaper
barrages, and lawyers mistakes by the defense
did what these things have done since.
The defendants were convicted; Spies, Parsons,
Engel Fischer and Louis Lingg were held for the
gallows. Lingg died in prison, his head shattered
by a dynamit cap. 1t may have been suicide; it
has usually been considered suicide but later
experience with police methods (Salsedo case for
instance) throws some doubt on the suicide
theory. The other four we're hanged and shouted
defiance of the system that killed them as they
stood on the gallows.
Three others, Fielden schwab, and Neebe were
held in prison until 1893. when they were par
doned by Governor Altgeld, who openly declared
their trial a fraud and the whole eight innocent

Parsons need not have been included. He
walked in and surrendered on the day of the
trial opening, because the defense attorney had
confidence in justice before the law. We ought

tor won her political fame in this capitalist gov
eminent with money partly inherited from those
who murdered the workers on May g. We ought
to learn lesson from that.

successful, led by revilutonists We ought to learn
from that The best traditions of the men who
died 43 years ago on Nov. IL in Chicago, are with

Nat Turner, Negro Champion
and Martyr

tify their savage oppression and super-exploita-
ton of the Negro masses
In support of this policy, the utmost care is
taken by the prostitute bourgeois historians to
consistently present the picture of the Negro as
slave, satisfied with his slave status and in
capable of revolt. This policy is faithfully sup
ported by misleaders like Kelly Miller, and the
officials of the National Association for the Ad-
vancement Of Coored People, the Urban League
and other Negro reformist organizations.
Negro Miseaders Support Enemy.
To these Negro msleaders any thought of the
frightfully oppressed Negro masses joining ranks
with the revolutionary white workers of this
country for the overthrow of their mutual OPP
pressors is unthinkable and horrible. For these
traitors there is, then, no inspiration in revo-
lutionary traditions For the Negro masses
however grooming under a ruthless oppression
and virtual slavery, the case is different
Nat Turner launched his revolt on the night
of August 81, 1881. John Brown invaded Vr-
GINA with 10 men, and with the expressed
determination to take no lives save in self
defense Nat Turner, far more resolute and cap
able, attacked Virginia from within, with only
six men, and with the revolutionary determine
ton to spare no life of the save-holding class
until slavery was completely crushed

BY V. S.

NOVEMBER II, is the anniversary of the hang
IN ing in Chicago of Alfred R. Parsons, August
Spies, Adolph Fischer and George Engel, in 1887.
They were executed after the first big frame-up
trial in American labor history. They were
murdered because they were militant leaders OF
the workers in the 1905, particularly because
they were leaders and spokesman of that intense,
dramatic left wing group known as the Chicago
Anarchists
They were not anarchists as the word is I'M
derstood now-probably direct action socialists"
would be a more correct modern name for their
movement. Like syndicalists and anarchists they
repudiated the ballot, but unlike syndicalsts
they did not repudiate mass action and revolu-
ton. Like the anarchists they took direct action,
but unlike the anarchists they were not indivi-
dualists-they believed in organization.
They had good Bolshevik theory of fighting
capitalism all the time, organizing and fighting
in every industrial struggle, and building up the
struggle for hours wages and conditions into
struggle against capitalism itself, to smash the
capitalist state
Militant Leaders.
Millions believe in this theory today, and in
revolutionary parlamentarism also. In those
days those who advocated it with the exception
of parlamen< rsm were just a handful, but
they inspired the great militant action known as
the Eight Hour Movement
The A. F. L. because of its resolution in its
1884 convention declaring that after May 1, 1886,
eight hours should constitute a days work, has
been given too much credit for the Eight Hour
strike of over 100000 men, and the action which
established May l, as a revolutionary holiday.
The bureaucracies of both ALL. and knights
of Labor, the two safe and sane labor organiza-
tons of the time sabotaged and betrayed the
eight hour movement. The ALL was shrewd
enough to let itself be pushed ahead of the drive
towards action for which the Chicago Anarchists
were primarily responsible and capitalism
