Six Centralia Boys Must Be Freed;
Thisi Eleventh Year in Prison

founded common law as that which makes every
mans house his castle amounts to when capital
ism is strong enough to do little killing.
Stopped the Raids.
There are several things to learn from this
case in addition to its exposure of capitalist legal
and court methods. One is from the fact that
the self -defense of the Centrala lumber workers
ended for a time the regular everyday out and
indoor sport of the Legion of rading and de-
stroying union halls. If they were going to meet
real resistance, they were no longer so eager to
raid. Only actual determined resistance to terror
seems to check it. Terrorism feeds on successful
acts of terror.
The tactics for gaining the Centrala boys re-
lease are interesting. The IW.W. efforts were
divided from the first, the work being partly
hadled by the I.W.W. general Defense Commit
tee in Chicago and partly by the I.W.W. North
west District Defense in Seattle. There were
several "Centralia Publicity Committees when
the split in the LWW took place in 1924, there
were two defense committees in the northwest
and the lawyer Elmor Smith, one of the de-
PENDANTS in the case, went with the Emergency
Program splitters of the IWW This faction
smashed up even faster than the regular IWW
Even the Centrala prisoners themselves seem to
have wavered bit, both sides claiming them
for while, as members.
/. L. d. Must Lead.
IW.W. efforts now seem to be centered on
publicity and praise for the Federated Churches
recent report, which very mildly opines that the
men did not get a fair trial, and is Mortified
not so much at the murder of Everest as his
lack of christian burial. There is not much hope
from all this
Some of the Centralia boys are bitterly hostile
to the International Labor Defense, the leader
in the only attempts to really mobilize all forces
for them. They have been fed sedulously on Nv.
W. sectarinism. But whatever their attitude they
are worker prisoners and they must be got out
and the LID. is the force (there is none other
that must take the lead in campaign to free
| them.

Reading Socialist Admits He
FavOrs Armaments
By LENA ROSENBERG.

THE socialist party had a large following In
L Allentown during the war. Nevertheless the
meeting for which they distributed thousands OF
leaflets has brought them no more than about
rs people and only handful of workers by the
looks of the crowd.
In their leaflets they announced that there
was going to be questions and answers. How
ever as soon as the Honorable Socialist Super
intendent of Street Cleaning of Reading Mr..
Miles williams, was through with his election
speech, he conveniently took his hat and coat
preparing to leave. 1 called this to the atten-
ton of the chairman and as much as he hated
to he was forced to come back because many
agreed with me that he should answer questions
He fatty refused to answer any of my qles-
tions about the actions of the socialists in Mil
waukee, Reading and New York, or referring
to the labor party of Great Britain and social
democratic party of Germany on the grounds
that he was ignorant of what happened in any
of these places. However, when questioned the
gentleman about the socialist party unemploy-
ment program he asked me in return what ours
was which I gladly answered I spoke for about
20 minutes showing up the role of the socialist
party in the U. S. as well as their brother
parties in Europe.
However it was when mentioned the point
in our unemployment insurance bill which deals
with using all funds now used for ornaments
for the unemployment insurance fund that this
socialist" forgot the pacifist attitude of the
cialist party and openly showed himself in favor
of arming the imperialist power for the de-
Tense of capitalist profits
He shouted a question at me as to whether
the Soviet Union is spending money for arma-
ments to which of course answered yes Then
he retorted $50 why do you expect our govern
ment to remain unarmed." Only about half an
hour ago he charged the capitalists for being
responsible for the unemployed situation, plead
ing with his audience that socialism would be
a superior form, etc. But when he heard the
| Communists propose to use the funds which the
| imperialists use for war preparations for the
unemployed insurance fund he forgot himself
| and admitted his true imperialist color.
This is the true role of the social fascists
| today, to talk to the workers who are daily
| becoming discontinued with the capitalist
| system about being in favor of changing the
system, but only to get influence among them so
that they can better line them up for capitalist
ornaments and war against the Soviet Union
1t is very seldom that these gentlemen admit
their adherence to Imperialism openly. 1t is
| therefore more important that these traitors to
the working class be exposed ruthlessly among
/ the workers, who because Of their inexperience
may follow them along their treacherous path

TODAY, November IL, is the anniversary of the
murder by the American slave holding class
Of the Negro revolutionary leader, Nat Turner
On this day while the American bourgeoisie
make mockery of the working-class dead in
the last war with their fake phrases of de-
mocracy. self-determination, ETC., the thoughts
of the Negro masses and of the revolutionary
white workers will turn to the heroic figure Of
Nat Turner, the daring Negro revolutionary who
with sixty followers challenged the power of
the slave-holdng state Of Virginia and threw
terror into the hearts of the brutal slave owners
of that day.
Bosses Try to Destroy Revolutionary Traditions.
The American bosses, with the support of the
treacherous Negro petty bourgeois miseaders
preachers, landlords, business mem have very
nearly succeeded in wiping out of the minds of
the Negro masses all revolutionary traditions.
The white mperiaists and their Negro toolr
have set up in the place of such heroic figures
as Nat Turner, Frederick Douglas, Denmark
Vesey, ETC., the pitiful figures of such services
and traitors as Booker T. Washington and the
even more despicable Motion. BY pretending that
Negroes are inferior" that their character and
role have been immemorially servile and sub
ordinate. the imperialist oppressors seek to JUS

Splitting the FrijOles
By JORGE

We must return to Aimee Semple Mcpherson.
Not in person. OF course, but in comment. Aimee is
abroad geographically speakng), making little
whoopee in the cabarets of Panama which are
known to out-Broun even the Nut Club OF New
York They are as wicked as Singapore.
But we only begin. 1t seems that Aimee, IN
her guise of evangelist, has some dumb followers
in a little village called "Frijoles" (Which Is
Spanish for "beanS'O near Balboa, Canal Zone.
The faithful in the city of Beans heard that
Aimee was coming, but alas, Aimee had plans
of her own. She had cut up something awful
in the night clubs of Colon, which is a city in
the Canal Zone and must not be confused with
the lower intestine.
And being under the assumed name of Betty
Adams on the boat, and listed as a governess
without any self-control, and having sent the
thermometer up at the city of Colon she couldn't

crowd of true believers" singing Lead Kindly
Light"
So darned if she didn't disown her -Four
Square" gospel and all its Frijole followers at
Balboa when they insisted on meeting her
But the square heads of the -Four Square
Gospel spoiled her party on the boat, so she's
flying, no doubt flying high, to Miami.
It's getting rotten when a lady evangelist
can't go out on rutting expedition without not
only God knowing all about it, but all his be-
wildered followers butting in and splitting the
beans.

Slaves Flock To Arms.

The slaves quickly rallied to his standard, and
before the night was over he had sixty followers
armed with whatever weapons came to hand
The white slave owners quaked with fear in
memory of countless wrongs inflicted upon the
instructed slaves, Of men and women savagely
beaten, of many wantonly murdered, of count
less Negro women habtualy polluted Blind
panic took possession of the slave owning class,
that not even the arrival of United States troops
and naval attachments served to dispel.
Nat Turner's strategy was based upon sur
prise attack and a quick march on Jerusalem
the county seat. Persuaded to pause at one of
the plantations, he failed in his objective of
reaching Jerusalem with its huge stores of arms
and munitions. His force thereafter became
fugitives.
Most of the revoted slaves refused to sur
render, preferring to die fighting than to accept
the fate In store for those who fell into the
hands of the master class now recovered from its
terror and in frenzy of fury determined to
make an example of the rebellious slaves A
bloody reign of terror was initiated. Thousands
of Negroes were murdered in cold blood regard
less Of whether they had participated in the
revolt. The aim was to terrorize the slaves.
Nat Turner Fearless to the End.
Nat Turner took his capture with the utmost
equanimty Cool and fearless to the last, he
made no denial Of his leadership of the revolt,
but like good revolutionary, utilized the courts
Of the master class as tribunal from which

to thunder his denuncatons against the OPP
pressors Of his race.
He was sentenced to death on November 5,
and was executed six days later. on November IL.
Even his enemies record that he met his death
with perfect composture.
Long live the memory of Nat Turner Negro
Revolutionary Leader!
Long live the Revolutionary traditions of the
Negro Massesl
Long live the international solidarity Of Ne
gro and white workers.
Support the struggle of the Negro Masses for
full equality and the right of determination!

come when some consideration
should be given to such ques-
tions by the county board Of su-

I'VE haev in this county two

he said. "a Washington company

still operates at Washington

Service Corporation, which serves
all other sections Of the county

'"The board Of supervisors has

head Of the division Of motor
vehicles, had rescinded his de-
cision not to stand for re-appoint-
ment to succeed himself, and had
determined to make . contest for
reappointment, were denied yes
terday by Hayes.
T know nothing about il" said
the retiring motor vehicle chief
when asked If he had changed
his mind.
Governor-elect John Garland
Pollard has announced. that he
intends to appoint T. Mccall
Frazier, Of Bluefield, to succeed
Hayes. The announcement fol-
lowed receipt Of a letter from
Hayes saying that he would not
stand for reappointmeat!
The displacement OF Hayes
caused wide comment and for q
time there was talk Of organlz-
ing q fight in his behalf in the
General Assembly Of 1880.
In recent weeks, however, the
fight talk has died down, due to
. combination Of circumstances.
One has been the popularity Of
Frazier, who has chosen to sue.
ceed. him, and the fact that q
demonstration in favor Of Hayes
means q contest of Frazier's ap-
pointmert. Another has been the
reluctance Of Hayes strongest
friends to precipitate a fight
which might spill the veteran Of
4icial's chances Of procuring an
other State Job.
