The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1931-03-24

CHICAGO, March 23.--After using
all sorts of tricks to cover up their
attack on the working class, the
Election Board has carried out the
orders of Big Business, to rule the
Communist Party off the ballot.
However, this fascist attack will not
remain unanswered. The Communist
Party more energetically than ever
before will mobilize thousands of
workers to vote Communist on April
Z, despite the bosses fascist attacks.
The hearings at the Election Board
clearly exposed the corrupt capitalist
character of this commission. The
two lawyers, Harrington and Tyrell,
who signed the complaint to rule the
Communist Party off the ballot are
officially lawyers for the Republican
and Democratic party, thus showing
the unity Of the bankers and manu-
facturers against the working class,
clearly exposing that their purpose
was to hold back the growing sup
port of the masses for the Commun-
list Party.
Legal Reasons
Tyrell, explained that the Con-
stitution ordained that there should
be only two parties in this country,
the democratic and republican par
ties. They further declared that all
parties, with the exception of these
two would be ruled off the ballot,
and they were especially anxious to
bar the Communist Party. The Com
munist candidates exposed this fas-
cist attack and showed that the
Communist Party was the only Par
t0 that had obtained 20,758 sigma
lures, Of workers who had declared
their intention of placing the Com
munist Party on the ballot. The
bosses agents became a little scared
and began TO maneuver.

if Communists are hunted and shot
down, that will not stop the advent
of Communism" With these ringing
words, a challenge to the forces of
the boss state, Fred Walker, Port
land worker on trial" for criminal
syndicalism, concluded his address to
the jury on March 10, the fourth day
of the criminal syndicalism trial
here. 1t was later that the verdict
of not guilty was returned by the
jury and when the courtroom
crowded with workers greeted the
release of their comrade with shouts.
Irving Goodman, the International
Labor Defense attorney, finished the
concluding argument of the defense
after Walker had spoken.
Eleven other workers still face
trial and the mass protest of the
working class will save them as it
did Walker, This victory will have
a bearing on the conviction of Ben
