. .zR 10 RELEASED
PENDING APPEAL
900 Bail Furnished
By LID.

NEW YORK, Jan. 5.-Guido Serio,
militant worker and anti-fascist
eader, was released on bailelate this
afternoon, while his case is being
appealed to the U S. District Court
by the International Labor Defense.
Serio was released on $1,000 bail Sc
cured through the efforts of the N. Y,
district office Of the I. L. D.
Serio has been imprisoned since
last May. when he was arrested while
speaking at an anti-fascist meeting
in Erie, Pa. During the past eight
months while he was incarcerated in
the county Jail at Eria and finally at
Ellis Island the italian embassy at
Washington and the Department OF
Labor had been working hand in
hand to deport him to Italy, where
a certain death awaits him for his
anti-fascist activities. both in Italy
and in the United States.
The Department of Labor charged
Serio with being an anarchist, al
hough he pointed out that for years
he has been an active member in the
Communist Party. The records of
the immigration officials in posses
sion Of the International Labor De-
Tense prove that the Washington au-
thorities while interrogating this mill
tant worker tried to point out as a
ground for his deportation that he
had attacked the Catholic Church
and defended the Soviet Union.
The International Labor Defense
oalls upon all workers "to come to the
defense OF Serio and stop this Mus
solini attempt to murder this worker
because of his loyalty to the WORKING
class. Organize mass protests! De-
fend the rights of the workers to or
ganize agains fascism!'

7OVIET FILM, "AL-YEMEN" IN
PREMIERE AT CAMEO FRIDAY

A rare film of one of the most I'M
usual countries of the world is to be
cen at the Cameo Theatre Friday,
when "Al-Yemen" viii have its Amer
lean premiere. Produced by the Mel
rabpomfilm of Moscow, this is the
first official film record of this state
of Arabia.
Through the efforts Of an expedi-
ton that spent two years among the
strange inhabitants of this little
known region a pictorial record of
the lives of Jews and Arabs, has been
brought to this country.
The cities, the baZaars, the peas
antry and feudals, the life of the
Arabs and the Jews, the fishers and
the Beduins, and the military dandes
are all shown wildly in Yemen"
The singular life of "Al-Yemen,"
Inherited from ancient times and re-
tanning medieval forms, provides a
subject that is decidedly different and
interesting.

After getting acquainted with
the life of the political prisoners in

meeting of military employees,
members of MOPR decided to aid
YOU in your struggle. At present
you are languishing and suffering
in prisons. Many of the best fight

The Governor Warns

Governor Leslie warns the rich that UNI
less they give generously to take care OF tne
moor. they may expect the legislature next
year to take away their money.
Whether he is correct or not IN saying
That it is the duty of the rich to take care
of the poor may be questioned. 1t is certainly
exnedient for them to do so on the same prln-
chile that armies and police forces are main
tanned.
A sensible adjustment Of the economic
machinery would make the question meaning
less. for Justice would enable every man TO
work and be self supporting, not compelled
to live upon the charity of the rich, eltner
voluntary or involuntary.
But the warning of the Governor, timely
and by far the most social utterance ne mas
ever given, should be needed by those VINO
may fear legislative action.
At the last session, the rich did very wen
for themselves in killing all suggestions Tor
m income tax as a means of relieving farm
ers and the small home owners who are hKely
IN time to need the help of the rich.
One of the causes of distress at the pres
ont time is the unfair distribution of the cost
of government. The man who amassed III
lie real estate which he calls his home IS
taxed to the limit. Those who have huge IN
comes from stocks escape. The result IS an
increasing number of those who need AID
Whether the rich given generously or
stingily, there is bound to be some form Oh
legislative action next year.
When the Governor warns, it is time TO
stop, look and listen.

Editor Times-As a taxpayer I
should like an explanation Of a
matter that to me looks like waste
of public funds.
1 live near 5136 East Michigan
street. Almost every morning at
about 10 o'clock I leave my home
to report for duty on my job. At
this time there stands in front of
the dwelling numbered as above, an
automobile marked Gar 101, Board
of Health" 1t has stood there all
the previous night.
What is the explanation? Is it
possible that an employee of the
board of health is furnished a car
and the necessary gas for his own
personal and private use at public
expense?
1 see a lot of references in the
papers regarding tax reduction. So
long as pubic funds are subject to
raids for private benefit, of which
the above seems to be an example,
there1l be no tax reduction worth
considering.
