NEW CASTLE, Pa, March %
GN.SD.-Opening of the defense
fight to break down the chain OF
evidence woven about Glenn
Dague for the killing of Corp.
Brady Paul was slated for today
indications being that the pros
ecution would close the States
case by noon. d,
Counsel maintained their usual
reticence today on what defense
would be set up for the alleged
paramour of Irene Shrader, who
was found guilty and now faces
the electric chair for the same
crime.
Possibility that Dague's counsel
might plead the former auto
mobile salesman had acted as
Irene's accomplice under dureSS
was seen in the careful cross
examination Of County Defective
H. M. Lee by Thomas D. Dickey,
chief of defense counsel.
Lee told of Dague relating how
the defendant had proposed to
Irene, during the desert gun bat
tie in Arizona, that they sur
render. Lee quoted Dague as say
ing to Irene:
whatever you want to do, I'll
do"
Dickey questioned Lee closely
on this point and it was believed
the questioning foreShadowed a
defense plea Of Dague's alleged
submission to the dominating will
of Iron Irene"

church or the Jewish church, or even

Union, as he is in the fate Of the

Like all finance men the pope is
the friend of all forms of reaction
and the enemy of the working
masses. Therefore he appeals to
the powers to recognize and main
tain diplomatic relations with the
Soviet Union only on condition that
the Soviet government is prepared
to guarantee religious freedom" AS
it is quite clear that the Soviet Union
will repulse with all energy any at
tempts to interfere in it's internal
affairs, this appeal of the pope is
nothing less than an appeal to cut
off relations with the Soviet Union.
The action of the Roman pope who
thus supports the Tchervonetz forg-
ers, the bill forgers and the hooli-
ganism of the white officers, will
not make the crusade against the
Soviet Union any the more idealistic.

also held on the City Hall steps,
where battle was fought two weeks
before, after a declaration of work
ers returned from the mayors OFFICE
where he admitted that eve can do
nothing for the workers"
On the City Hall steps speakers
denounced the capitalist city govern
ment and stated that if the govern
ment was not able to relieve unen-
ployment and help the workers, then
it was not a government of the
workers and must be destroyed. This
met with tremendous applause and
cheers of the workers.
Although the city government had
ordered all its police, fire depart
ment and reserves, and even invited
gangsters and thugs from the pool
halls to "come to the demonstration
and bring your own weapons"-they
did not dare to attack the militant
workers.
Only after the demonstration had
been officially adjourned, and thou
sands of workers had left the meet
ing place, then the police charged
the meeting and injured several
workers. This aroused the anger of
the workers, who rushed the police
and tried to pull them off their
horses. Also, when the police or
dered the street cars to run through
the crowd, the workers pulled off
the trolley poles and stopped the
cars.
After all the march and demon.
stration, after the fight with the
police was all over, then the rene
gades from Communism appeared
and attempted to speak to the work
ers. When the renegades both of
the Lovestone and Cannon stripe
united their forces and started to
speak, the workers shouted: "Down

112 Days for Traffic

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Mar. g.
With all the organizers in jail, hav-
ing been arrested the day before,
the workers of Chattanooga held a
successful demonstration against un-
employment Thursday. The mobiliza-
ton meeting brought crowds of Ne
gro and white workers, and only
heavy rainstorm prevented their
marching. There were two white
and three Negro workers.
Gilbert Lewis and another Negro
worker, arrested here Wednesday, as
revenge against them for organizing
the Negro and white workers were
Immediately railroaded through to
the chain gang, and put to breaking
rocks, with chains riveted on their
legs. They are out now, local work
ers having paid their fines.
The charge against these workers,
against Amy Schechter, organizer
for the Trade Union Unity League,
against Fred Totherow, National
Textile Workers Union organizer,
and others was technically, only COB
structing traffic" However, the
judge sentenced all of them to 112
days, or $50 fine. The detectives
and police were particularly brutal,
especially toward the Negro workers,
and beat up Gilbert.
Origin of "Lunacy" Charge.
Judge Fleming declared at the
trial that any one stating that un-
employed workers have the right to
the streets is "crazy," and on the
basis of that statement or opinion,
lunacy charges have been made
against Schechter. Local workers
raised $3.50 to release them, and the
prosecutor states that he will press
the lunacy charge, and summon
Schechter before the lunacy commits
sion unless he leaves town. They
are also trying to frame a serious
charge against Totherow.

trial the judge openly intimidated at

there are men to do it.
'The rapid growth Of factories and
other construction work have taken
up the urban slack, while rural COM
munities are occupied with the trans
formation of the old agricultural
system into the collective move
ment."
The New York Times has been
prominent in its counter-revolution-
AIRY propaganda against the Soviet
Union and the working class. But
rtainly no one did expect it to be
- abysmally stupid and hopelessly
contradictory.
The Times is by no means the only
capitalist paper that is getting blind
ly nervous. The whole capitalist
press, nay, the whole capitalist world
are suffering from the same nerv-
BUSINESS. This is not casual. This is
the result of the basic fabrics of the
capitalist system, which has become
more precarious and decaying as an
inevitable outcome of the &ggrava-
ton and intensification of the in
ternal and external contradictions
through capitalist naturalization
against the overwhelming achieve
ments of socialist construction in the
U.S.S.R.
After the employed and unem-
ployed workers in New York and
other cities throughout the world
had staged the brilliantly successful
mass demonstrations against unem-
ployment which is the unavoidable
truition of capitalist economy, the
New York Times and other capitalist
pers all chanted the same worn
t note Of "red riots" Communist
bellion" and paid tributes to Wha-
len and his kind for their splendid
work" in suppressing the "Commu-
mist rioters" and poked reluctant
fun at the demonstrations. But IN
their united attack on the working
class these capitalist journals could
never get over their blind nervous
ness, for between lines there were
pictures Of the strength, the power
and the solidarity of the working
class in their unrelenting revolution
ary struggle against the capitalist
government and system.
In fact the New York Times and
other yellow and black papers have
failed in fooling the workers, but
succeeded in fooling themselves.
They think they can strife and sup
.ess the world revolution by lies
I'd scandals. But they are black
cked by facts. Millions upon mil
lions of workers of the whole world,
under the leadership of the Com
munist international, the Communist
Parties, the revolutionary trade
unions are struggling with increased
energy against the bourgeois states
economically and politically. They
are looking forward to new battles.
