Soviet Films of Indus
trial Trial i'm 3rd Week
at 9Th st. Playhouse

The Soviet sound newsreel of the
so-called Industrial Party trial re-
mains at the Eighth Street Playhouse
for a third week. The newsreel,
which takes over an hour to show,
has been attracting wide attention
and attendance in this first Amer
lean showing. This is also the first
instance of sound films from Soviet
Russia being presented in this
country.
For the first time it is possible for
us to hear and to see on the screen
the testimonies of the counter-revo-
lutionists Ramzins, Kalinnikovs, Lar
ichevs, Charnoysgys, Fedotovs, Och
kins and others, and the speech of
the Attorney General of the U. S. S.
r., Krylenko, who in detail, analyses
the activities of these hirelings of
foreign powers, 'leaders" of the ''In-
dustrial Party
The film was made under many
difficulties in the court room and
shows the procedure of the trial in
detail. Included in the newsreel are
scenes of the crowds in the streets
of Moscow where the workers lis
tened in over a network of radios to
the testimony of the indicted counter
revolutionists as they made their
public confessions.

INDECENT HASTE
80
TO VETO PENSION
Indiana Governor In
Rush to Starve Aged

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, March TO-
Pronouncing q philosophy that it is
better to allow worn-out aged resi-
dents to starve than raise taxes a
fraction, Gov. Harry Leslie has We
toed even the weak old age pension
bill. The Senate sustained the veto
20 to 10.
The pension bill, as passed by both
Senate and House after bitter battles,
provided payment of $500 a month
to dependent persons of 10 or over,
the state and counties to share the
cost.
In his zeal to kill the pension,
Leslie broke an all time custom and
read his veto message in person be-
fore the Senate. The governor also
failed to wait for the attorney gen.
erals opinion on the legality of the
bill after he had requested 1t. In
stead he rushed to the attorney gen.
erals ofilce, snatched the bill from a
desk and hurried to the Senate.
Senator James j. Hadjr, Gary, CO.
author Of the bill, attempted to an
swer the governor but fellow repub-
hcans shut him off. Meanwhile, in
the House, Representative Fred S
Galloway of indianapolis submitted
a resolution demanding that the gov.
ernor be asked to appear there fol
questioning. He too was overruled.

CIVIL LIBERTIES
PRAISES POLICE
But the New Regime"
Is Just A Mistake
tBy a Worker Correspondent

LOS ANGELES, Cal, March 16.--
The new regime" in the Los Angeles
police bomb squad did not last long.
Shortly after February rs, Clinton j.
Taft, director in Southern California
of the American Civil Liberties Union
sent a letter, published in the local
press, and reading as follows:
"The executive committee OF the
American Civil Liberties Union South
ern California branch, at its meeting
this afternoon took cognizance of the
fact that there was no violence ex-
hibited by the police Wednesday, Feb
ruary Is, in arresting Communists ut
their so-called demonstration at Sev.
enth and Broadway.
''We feel particularly gratified over
the showing that the police made on
that occasion and hope it SIGNIFIES
a new regime on the part of the
police in handling such affairs.
Eve as an organization have never
objected to the police department
making arrests when they felt that
any law or city ordinance was being
violated.
1.-THE thing that we steadfastly OBJ
jected to has been the unwonted use
of violence on the part Of members
of your department in making such
arrests"
The whole secret behind this new
regime" idea that the Civil Liberties
got is that Hynes, chief of the police
Red Squad" had a squabble with the
chief of police and turned in his II
cent badge. Another cop was put in
Hynes's place. But in a few days the
notorious Hynes in spite of his wife
beating and other habits, was back
on the Red Squad" and hunting
Communist rioters" at Seventh and
Broadway.
The clubbing, bounding of unem-
ployed, smashing of meetings, break
ing into private houses and smashing
everything up, was hardly given a
pause by either Hynes or the New
Regime"

PATERSON ALL.
AIDS BOSS BAKERS
Taking IMAM Strike
at Organized Shop

PATTERSON. March 16-The A. F.
of L. bakers union" of Paterson,
which has never done anything to
organize the unorganized bakers and
does not even organize the less skilled
workers of their so-called organized
shops. has now become active in help
ing the bosses fight the Food Work
ers' Industrial Union.
There is bakery in Paterson under
the name New York Bakery, at 40
Paterson St, which has an agreement
with the Food Workers Industrial
Union and the workers there are en-
joying union conditions. Among the
seven workers in that shop there was
one by the name of Grabowsky, who
was working days a week, making
$50. but couldn't get along with only
days, so he actually sold himself to
the Paterson "famous" Purity Asso-
citation, right wing cooperative bak-
cry with silk manufacturers as share
holders and to the takers of the A.
F. of L. bakers Local 165, which is
controlled by the same association
These people have promised him a
job in the Purity on the basis that
he picket the New York Bakery.
The fact that he was the only one
out of seven workers to leave the
job explains very clearly that this Is
not a real strike of the workers but
. fake strike sponsored by the Purity
Association and their hirelings, the
takers of the A. F. of L.
We hereby brand them as betrayers
of the working class and call upon
the Paterson workers to rally around
the Food Workers Industrial Union
in Its campaign to organize the I'M
organized food workers for g real
fight for better living conditions.
The best answer to these people
will be the buildin gof strong indus
trial unions which shall be able to
lead the workers in their struggle for
better living conditions and to COM
bat the attacks of the bosses and
their agents, the American Fedora
ton of Labor.
