teen hundred Ku KluX Klan mem
bers last night surrounded the
children's camp at Van Etten, near
Elmira, N. Y, armed with black
jacks, revolvers, guns and machine
guns, and ordered the campers to
leave the camp within thirty min
utes.
The thirty adults and seventy
children who comprise the workers
children's camp maintained by the
Workers International Relief were
completely unarmed. The thugs
threatened to shoot the women and
children and completely to destroy
the camp. A fiery cross was
burned. Many of the autos used
by the raiders had Pennsylvania
licenses.
The determined stand of the
campers stayed the hand Of the
murderous Ku KluX gang The
flood of protests sent to the gov
ernor yesterday forced him to act.
At the last moment state troopers
arrived, breaking what was appar-
emily previous agreement to "lay
off" until the Khan did its dirty
work. Fifty local farmers came out
to defend the children. The troop
ers were very gentle with the thugs
and let them hang around for hours.
Tonight is the last night of
the camps vacation period and the
international Labor Defense is MAX
ing arrangements to protect the
children and other inhabitants of
the camp against the threat of an
other raid tonight.

Elmira, where they will be defended
by an international Labor Defense
attorney, Bert T. Baker. The ar
rested teachers are Mabel Husa and
Ailene Holmes.
The Khan and American Legion
are holding patriotic demonstrations
tonight to influence the trial. The
charges are insulting the Amer

of the Khan and Legion to make
Husa and Holmes kiss the flag after
they had been kidnapped, held for
hours, and Mabel Husa severely
beaten by the patriots.

All Out Sun, Aug. 18th
to Pleasant Bay Park

There are many ways of building
the Daily Worker. Here is an easy
way. All you have to do this time
is attend a picnic. We do not in
tend to say that you should stop at
that. But this one day, Sunday,
August 18th, the most important
task for the Daily Worker is to
make the regular annual Daily
Worker Picnic Carnival a success.
At this picnic, to be held in Pleas
ant Bay Park, Bronx, N. Y, there
will be real proletarian entertain
ment. The baseball games, soccer
games are arranged by the Labor
Sports Union. The proletarian
play, "Strassefrei," will be put on
by the Prolebuhne. And there will
be mass singing. All revolutionary
organizations have endorsed the
picnic and call on their members to
be present.
Admission is only IS cents.

BY ROSE BARON.

1t is well-known fact that the
militant shoeworker, Nicola Sacco,
and the equally militant and class
conscious fish peddler, Bartolomeo
Vanzetti, were murdered for the eff
forts they put forth in behalf of
their class against the exploitation
and oppression of the master class.
This, and this only, was their crime.
For this they were framed up on a
murder" charge. For this they
suffered sever years in the hell
holes of capitalist prisons and
finally were burnt to death by
legal procedure in the electric
chair.
Their execution was a brutal de-
fiance of the worldwide demand by
millions of workers and sympa-
thizers that they be liberated
When millions of workers were
learning the important lesson that
they must rely on their own or
ganized strength and that the courts
were only agents for the capitalist
class, liberal defense committees

According to capitalist press re-

are thoroughly aroused over the
attack upon Robert Robinson, a
Negro worker, by a backward group
of Americans who are reported to
have elected him from the common
mess-hall of a Stalingrad tractor
factory a few days ago. Stern
warning has been given that Soviet
Russia will not tolerate race dis
elimination or permit the doings of
bourgeois America within her bord-
ers.
The Americans involved in the at
tack have been ordered to appear
for trial before the workers of the
Metal Trades Union of Stalingrad
Legal action may follow the inyes-
tigation and trial.
In the meantime, huge mass
meetings have occurred in Moscow
and other cities of the Soviet Union
at which the attack has been
sharply denounced and action de-
manded against those responsible,
The Soviet newspapers have car
ried sharply denunciatory articles.
Race prejudice and discrimination
are tactics of the rotten capitalist

Austrian Divorce Cases
 Placed Before Court

Vienna, Aug. Lp}-The fate of about 1S0,000 married couples in Austria who contracted Catholic marriages after being divorced was placed in the hands of their former mates today by an opinion Of the Austrian constitutional court in a test case.
 The constitutional court found that it was incompetent to arbitrat@ the dispute between the political au- thorities and the law courts which would define the status of marriages made with the aid of civil dispensa- tons. The court said that inasmuch as the ordinary law courts had de- clared these dispensation marriages illegal. all such marriages in the fu- ture will be regarded as legal only until challenged by former wife or husband Of one of the partners 10 the new marriage.
