like a bent bow, the terrier slipped the others

from the field precpitately. Then he sprang
out to meet in the open the crowd Of assorted
dogs which came running down upon him.
Trained by many battles Grit had worked
out q system Of fighting which had never yet
failed him. and he met the an1ateurish tactics
of his assailants with all the deadly precision

MAHONOY CITY, Penn. ~ Over
four hundred miners came to the
unemployed mass meeting to orga-
nize an unemployed council. In this
town over 400 families are registered
with nothing to eat. These people
are really up against it. Charity
balls are run for the purpose of get
ting relief. Every worker knows that
in these days when over half Of the
people of this town are out Of q
job, that little money can be gotten
thru these methods.
We lived on hopes for long time
but two years is too long to live on
hopes. Now we will extend our fight
that the mines would be re-opened,
and try to get something from the
coal company and the state. We
will work for hunger march to Har-
risburg. 1t is the first time that
we have heard sensible program
presented by the speakers from the
unemployed council.
One Of them spoke in the Lithu-

NEW YORK, N. Y.-R. D. Hudson,
Secretary of the New York Branch

Union was arrested Sunday night at

with disorderly conduct for interrupt
ing divine services.
Hudson went to the Institute, Sun
day evening, to protest against the
brutal beating of Olson, 45-year old
member of the Marine Workers In
dustrial Union. This Marine worker
was beaten up and elected from the
Institute for distributing leaflets
which advertised an educational lee
ture.
Hudson waited until Mrs. Roper
(who has acted in past years as scab
herder for the ship owners during
the Seamen's strike and who it pre-
sent is acting as a stool-pigeon for
the immigration officials got up to
speak, then he took the floor and
protested against the beating up of
this worker and encouraged by the
cheering of the seamen in the audi
torium, denounced the stool-pigeon
activities in the institute and de-
manded that free food and lodging be
given to the unemployed seamen of
the waterfront.
Acting under the order of the sky
pilot of the institute, Hudson was ar
rested by private policeman. He
was placed under $500 bail but was

when a Negro worker, Comrade
Alexander. was charged by Sheriff
Barney Gillen and Negro Deputy
Sheriff Blake for distributing leaf

At the court hearing, the judge
questioned the four witnesses" whom
the sferiffs had brought. They
claimed that Alexander gave them

have paid these witnesses to lie
against him.
Another comrade, Johnson, de-
clared that the defendant was tell
ing the truth. Hearing this, the
sheriffs asked Johnson to come into
another room, where together with
the chief of police, they beat him
up, cutting his face and hands.
The Republic Iron and Steel Com
pany has been charged by the work
ers for hiring these agents of the
police to beat up the workers at
meetings, demonstrations, to arrest
them on flase charges and to send
spies against the workers, A proof
of this is the fact that man, John
Veselich, was hired by the company
TO spy on the workers. This man

FIGHT DEATH
PENALTY in MICH,
Bedacht Speaks At the
March 29th Meet

DETROIT, Mich. March 23.-In
line with the bloody terrorism of the
bosses against the workers, the In
crease in lynchings of Negroes, the
fascisation of the capitalist state, the
state legislature of Michigan passed
the Death Penalty Bill which comes
up TO a state referendum on April g.
This bill gives an additional weapon
to the bosses in their savage cam
paign against the revolutionary
movement of the working class. The
bosses and their kept press. who are
campaigning for this bill, state that
this is necessary measure to COM
bat crime. But the most bloody crime
OF the bosses and their hired assas-
sins against the workers go unpun-
ished, not because they haven't ade-
quate laws, but on the contrary the
laws are used TO protect them. The
underworld gangsters work In the
closest alliance with the authorities
and are being hired by the bosses
TO slug and kill militant workers
whenever they engage in the struggle
against capitalism.
No millionaire criminal, no matter
how horrible crime he may COM
nit. especially II II Is against the
working class, ever swings In the
gallows, while the workers, especially
Negro workers, are being hung and
electricuted on the slightest pretext.
The proposed death penalty is a
measure to strengthen the terror
campaign of the bosses by legal as
well as illegal means to crush the
growing revolutionary movement of
the workers, the growing solidarity
OF the Negro and white workers in
the struggle against capitalism.
Come to the mass meeting Sunday,
March 20, 2 pm. at the Danceland
Auditorium on Woodward near For
rest, and demonstrate and protest
against this bloody measure of the
bosses directed against the workers.

Mobilize for Saturday
Demonstrations

NEW YORK.-As part of the final
stage of the preparations for Satur-
days demonstrations against depor-
tations and lynching, the Interna-
tional Labor Defense is holding big
mass meeting tomorrow night, March
26, at ST. Luke's Hall, 125 West 100
Street. This meeting is now the main
mobilization point for Saturdays de-
monstrations and should be attended
by every militant and class conscious
worker.
Speakers at the meeting will be
F. E. A. Welsh, of the League OF
Struggle for Negro Rights; Hugo Gel
lert, of the Council for Protection Of
Foreign Born, and Richard B. Moore,
national Negro director of the Inter
national Labor Defense, and E. Ma
chado, a Latin American comrade.
The Finnish workers are holding
a protest meeting the same evening
at the Finnish Workers Hall, Is West
126th Street, and will adjourn early
and attend in a body the meeting at
st. Lukes Hall.
The Independent Shoe Workers
Union, through its secretary, F. G..
Biedenkapp, has issued statement
calling upon all workers to join in
the demonstrations on March %. The
statement declares:
The vicious attack now being di-
rected against the foreign born work
ers is directly connected with every
struggle of the American workers
against starvation wages, long hours,
speed-up, etc, and the demand for
unemployment insurance and the
fight for Work or Wages. Last, but
not least, the attack is directed
against the building Of revolutionary
industrial unions under the leadership
of the Trade Union Unity League.
THE New York shoe workers have
every reason to remember the at
tempt of the U. S. Department of
Labor and the New York police de-
partment to register and tineerprint
the workers of the organized shops
of the Independent Shoe Workers
Union just before the dastardly lock-
out of 1929. This scheme of the bos-
SeS to brighten the workers into sub
mission failed only because of the
solidarity of the workers and their
militant Union.
Workers everywhere must protest
against the attack upon the foreign
born workers by demonstrating Maych
Is in a militant manner.
1--WE must organize and fight every
attempt to fingerprint or register
workers. We must fight unitedly
against deportation of foreign born
workers and the lynching OF Negroes.
All out on March 28!"

Red Gains in Chattanooga in
Spite of Boss Lies and Terror

allow the Communist candidates to
speak at many mass meetings where
all other candidates were invited to
speak; the raid on Communist
election rally on the eve of the cleo
tons and the arrest of one Of the
candidates, Comrade Coads, who was
held in jail with bail denied him
until after elections, shows clearly
the fear Of the oss-controlled city
machine of a large Communist vote
and their determination TO prevent
this at all costs. Under these con-
ditions there can be little doubt but
that scores, if not hundreds, of
votes for the Communist candidates
were thrown out by the corrupt cleo
