The 1.W.W. General Defense, which
is supposed to be defending the
framed-up miners is playing into the
hands of the coal operators by taking
as lawyers for the defense men, who
are connected with the coal operat-
ors. AL of the witnesses for the prose-
cution are the paid gunner of the
Black Mountain Coal Co. or other
coal companies. "A parade Of Harlan

In a statement today, George Maui
rer, general secretary of the Inter
national Labor Defense, declared that
information received here concerning
the trial Of william Burnett, Harlan
miner charged with murder, verified
the LID. prediction that there was
danger Of a sell-out defense.
Robson, Klansman lawyer of the
UM.WA, has disappeared from the
defense" the LID. points out. This
is the second time that the U.MW.A.
has left Burnett in the lurch. At the
first hearing held last summer, Bur-
nett, who was then a member Of the
U.M.W.A, would have been railroad
Robson failed even to
appear at the trial-if the LID. had
not jumped into the breach and pro-
vided him with legal defense.

That the interest OF the Hoover
Hunger Government in Manchur1an
developments is in support for the
Japanese invasion OF China as the
opening gun in the planned attack
on the Soviet Union has bee made
Increasingly clear. This was the prin-
cipal aim of the secret pact between
Hoover and Laval and Of the secret
conversations between Japan and
the United States. The present secret
conferences between Hoover, Slim
son and Borah and the Italian fascist
foreign minister, Grand. are aimed
at forging the final Link in the anti
Soviet front. United States support
Of Japan is admitted in an editorial
in the Japan Times Of october 10.
That editorial states:
Official circles Monday intinat-
ed that the present attitude Of the
United States toward the Manchu-
rian incident, which has been mis-
understood to some extent in ia
pan, especially after the recent par
ticipation Of an American observer
in the League Council, has now
come to be appreciated considerably
by the Japanese government as 1t
has been made clear that the Unit
ed States government Is very favor
ably inclined toward Japan"

Comrade Rogers travelled thou
sands of miles TO all parts Of the

conditions Of women, who unlike In
the capitalist countries, are on an
equal footing with the men, being
employed in branches of industry and
holding responsible positions In the
government and management of the
huge enterprises which are being
constructed so rapidly under tle

in by the Communist Party, Young

attentive and seemingly interested.
There had been quite controversy
carried on through the local press as
to whether the meeting would be al
lowed in which, scare statements of
possible violence were made and
probably kept many workers from
attending.

Mass Protest Successful

What mass protest, in which the
Daily Worker played its part in raj
lying the workers can do, is shown in
the latest development in Portland,
Ore. There two thousand workers,
gathering to greet the National Hun
gar Marchers, protested against the
frame-up Of militant workers under
the Criminal Syndicalism Law. The
stool pigeon who gave information
against the imprisoned workers was
exposed at this demonstration and
the workers firmly backed the demand
for the release Of the prisoners. AS
result the state dropped the case
against the imprisoned workers and
they we're released.
This case shows what immediate
action and mass organization can de.
The workers must lose no time 70
fight against the increasing wave Of
police terror. Now is the time TO
spread the Daily Worker among ALL
the workers. Now is the time to build
firmly the revolutionary struggle
through subscriptions to the Ieiay
Worker. Now is the time TO build the
Daily Worker Clubs in everyseafan
Of the country. Mass street sales,
mass subscription, and mass Daily
Worker Clubs will sink the rooss Of
the revolutionary struggle so deep into
the soil of America that all the oap.-
talist engines of destruction, the po-
lice and the army will be poweriess.
Spread the Daily Worker sales.
Spread the Daily Worker subscrip-
tons.
Organize and expand Daily Worker
Clubs.
Smash police terror.
Smash imperialist butchery.

Nat Turner celebrations, during
which extra bundles of The Liberia
tor have been ordered for mass meet
ings in conjunction with the drive
for 10000 new readers, has helped to
increase the circulation for the week
ending Nov. 7. An extra order Of
800 copies. which will be taken off
next weeks chart, has helped Dis
trict 8, Chicago, boost its circulation
by 845. This outstanding increase,
however, not backed by promised
payment, loses its significance since
the Liberator, already in a serious
financial situation, intensified by the
attempt at the Post Office to bar 1t
from the mail, cannot survive with
out prompt payments for papers.
Minneapolis puts $50 on, due
largely to a new order of 100 in Hur-

for the use Of the 104tf Regiment
Armory, the Broadway Recreation
Pier and other public buildings, to be
fitted with beds and blankets, and
Tor food to be furnished. The letter
to the governor states:
Technical excuses, such as non

On Nov. II the Unemployed Coun-
ellis of Wheeling, Warwood and Elm
