FEAR OF Lash

British Tragedy Brings

Brutal Penalties.
~ United Pross

LONDON, March 21-A recent
tragedy at one Of the London
III sons has brought a widespread
outcry in Great Britain against one
of the few remaining remnants of
medieval justice still practiced here
in melting out punishment to Grim
inals of the more violent type.
The prospect Of receiving fifteen
lashes from the "cat-o'-nineta tails, 3"
most dreaded and vicious form in
which British society exacts re-
venge from lawbreakers, drove a
young prisoner, James E. Spiers,
10 commit suicide as he was being
led 10 the triangle" at which the
strokes are administered.
Prefers Death to Ordeal
He apparently preferred death to
the horrible ordeal at the triangle
SO he broke away from his guards
and flung himself headlong on to a
stone floor twenty-five feet below.
He died shortly afterWard-
The news Of the tragedy startled
London and the provincial cities.
Britishers had been aware of the
existence of the cat" but never
before had the grimneSs of it been
called so fOrcibly to their attention.
Leading writer's and thinkers, with
George Bernard Shaw showing the
way, began to preach against the
use of the terrible "cat" and to de-
mand its immediate Punishment
from the prisoners.
"Cat" Is Most Dreaded
The cat is the most dreaded of
ali the punishments in the British
penal code and even the most hard
ened of criminals regard it as sec
ond only to the gallows.
The prisoner receiving the LASH
ings is strapped with Outstretched
arms TO the triangle. The prisoner
first is examined by the prison doc
tors who certify that the man is
physically fit to undergo the ordeal.
After feeling the prisoners pulse
when strapped to the contraption,
the doctor calls out "One" and the
first stroke is given. Punishment
Is continued only as long as the
prisoner is able TO receive it.

Report San Antonio
Workers Demonstrate
for Work or Wages"

An unyerified report from San
Antonio, Texas, states that a DEM
onstration of thousands of workers,
many of whom were Mexicans and
Negro workers, took place Sunday
in front of the City Hall.
The capitalist papers are cited as
saying the demonstration was very
large and that Governor Moody
made attempts to stop the demon
stration. Traffic was tied up when
the crowd reached the City Hall.
Banners, demanding Work or
Wages" the seven-hour day and
five-day week, and other slogans of
the Communist Party were carried
by the workers, according to the re-
port.
The report is that the mayor and
capitalist politicians tried to put
over a fake proposal of bond issue
as an answer to the unemployed de-
mands of the demonstrators, but
without success in fooling the work
ers.

Of news is mostly due to interrupted

In the meantime, the war be-

steadily. The Anti-Nanking forces,

Shan's army is moving toward

piled with American money, air
planes and ammunition. He is also
talking about some mysterious "ally"

SHANGHAI, China, April T.
The American imperiaists have just
ordered a gunboat stationed on the
Yangtze River to proceed to kiu-
kiang, stragetically one of the most
important cities in Central China,
where the Red troops and revolving
peasants led by the Communist Com
mander, Comrade Chu Teh, are
massing their forces for the capture
of the city.
The excuse which the American
imperialists give for this significant
move is the usual one of protecting
the missionaries" With this very
same excuse, the American and
other imperialist gunboats have III
numerous occasions in the past help
