tempt of the lumber barons to frame up Com
rade Arne Thompson. The California boss class
has again resorted to the use of it's courts in a
daS16rdly attempt to frame up militant worker,
just as it did in the Mooney Billings case The
present attempt is in a small lumber town of
Fort Bragg, on the northern coast of California,
where about the third of May disastrous fire
occurred in the lumber yard of the Union Lum-
Der Co., in Fort Bragg. The fire-fighting APP
paratus had been put out of order in dyna-
hitting lumber piles out of the way to check
the spread of the fire. The company officials
had this done at an unnecessarily great distance
from the fire, evidently to let the flames devour
more of the over-production. The lumber of

Workers, crush this attempt of the California
boss class to put through this murderous frame
up against this young, militant worker, whose
only crime is that he has joined the ranks Of
the militant revolutionary workers. fighting for
the interests of the working class.
This frame-up is a further attack by the ruling
class of California against the Communist Party,
the International Labor Defense and the Trade
Union Unity League in the attempt to outlaw
them. This case has a direct bearing on the
