We are having quite a battle getting
the Daily Worker into the hands of

paper has for them. The capitalist
press has poisoned their minds SO
much that the story of the class

swallow.

closed down practically complete.
AS result of the unbroken soil

already been compelled to open ne

putting too much faith in these ne
gotiations and are going ahead with
their plans for mass picketing.

Two Get 80 Days In California.


HANDO, Calf, March 9 (By MaiD
The case of four workers arrested
in an unemployment demonstration
OH Main st. on Jan. 20 was placed
in the hands of a jury March 4.
The defendants were Hector Tri-
ana and Alex. Ivance, accused of
beating a cop; James Conley,
charged with disturbing the peace"
and Joe Holub, accused of distrib-
uting handbills and disturbing the
peace"
Witnesses testified that squads of
police beat the demonstrators. At
torney Gallagher told the jury that
anyone who testified for the defense
was i'll danger of losing his job be-
cause the Red Squad of the police
department would go to his employer
and demand his job" The prosecu-
ton put on IL witnesses, 10 of whom
we're policemen, because policemen
can't coordinate their testimony"
Gallagher declared
Holub was found guilty and NUM-
cipal Judge H. Parker Wood SEN
fenced him to 80 days in the county
jail. The jury failed to agree on a
verdict on the other three. They
were put on trial again. This time
Hector Triana was found guilty and
Municipal Judge Thomas L. Am
brose sentenced him to 80 days in
the city Jail for beating cop. The
jury failed for the second time to
agree in the case of Alex. Vance.
James Conley was released.

The mayor, in refusing to see the
delegation and ordering the police
attack, made lying statements that
5000 were being fed by the city. The
best answer to this is the fact that
thousands of militant workers an

BRIDGEPORT, Conn.,, March Is
The Blumenthal Co. is publishing in
the yellow papers that the weaverS
make $40 or more a week. This is
not true. On the night shift they
make as low as $685. for IL hours
work, and if anything breaks down
and they have to wait three or four
hours, they get nothing for that time.
The company saw no workers COM
ing in when they set the date for re-
opening first on March 8 and then
on March 10. Now they are sending
company agents to the workers
homes and trying to get women
workers especially in Bridgeport.
They still do not succeed, for the
women's interests are the same as
the men.
We appeal to all workers who see
advertisements of Blumenthal for
help in the mills to pay no atten-
ton. The strike is still going on.

To expose this faker and to show
