Negro Demonstration to Trial.
EAST LIVERPOOL, Ohio, March
1l.-Roy Mahoney, militant Negro
worker, will be triad under the Grim
inal syndicalist" act of Ohio, which
carries with it a ten-year sentence
in the penitentiary, for participating
in an unemployed demonstration.
Mahoney was arrested with six other
workers, but all except the Negro
militant were released, which is a
clear case Of race discrimination
He is out on $4,000 bail furnished
by the International Labor Defense.
Roy Mahoney is a bricklayer who
has worked at his trade since early
childhood and been subjected not
only to the usual exploitation of the
average worker in America but has
suffered because of race discrimina-
ton and Jim Crowism practiced by
the white ruling class. A few years
ago Mahoney joined the Communist
Party and the Trade Union Unity
League and participated and led in
many struggles of the workers in
Liverpool. The employers of this
city have had their eye on him for
long time and have now finally ar
rested him and fully expect to send
him up for 10 years.
The International Labor Defense
is fighting vigorously his case and
calls upon all workers ito come in
militant fashion in defense of this
working class leader, proving our
solidarity with all workers of allraces
who are leading in the struggle
against the ruling class the world
over" -"
