Under the leadership of McLevy. a
campaign of persecution against the
foreign-born workers, even in his own
pa-%y, is conducted. At their last
State Convention, held in New Haven,
delegates from foreign-language
branches fought against the bylaws
prohibiting foreign-born from partici-
pating in the convention on an equal
basis. They also protested against
the double dues which they are forced
to pay. 1t is a common practice at
the membership meetings Of the S.
P. to attack, in the most chauvinistic
manner, the foreign-born workers.
Sentiment among the worke:s is
growing against the evictions by So
cialist sheriffs, not only in Bridge

ford local Of the S. P. under mass
pressure sent a communication about
these evictions to the Bridgeport To-

was assured that no more evictions
will take place especially during this

was dishonest the photo (see aboVe)

dares to raise these issues not only
in the North, but in the lynchers' own

gone into the South and riSked their

Demand for New Trial on Remaining
Indictment
Originally there were ten indict-
ments returned against Mooney-one
for each person who lost his life in
the Preparedness Day explosion on
July %, 1916. Mooney was tried and
convicted on one indictment. One OF
the last official acts of Fickert, be-
fore relinquishing his position as Dis
trict Attorney after receiving a po-
litical death-blow, was to move for
the dismissal, over MONEYS vigorous
protest, of all the remaining indict-
ments. Fickert's game was clear. All
of the main witnesses against Moo
ney had been exposed as perjurers.
F'ickert knew that, with the exposure
of the witnesses, their testimony could
never again convict Mooney. This is
proven by the fact that Rena Moo
ney and Weinberg were acquitted in
the court of Judge Dunno, viciously
prejudiced against the defendants,
because the jury would not believe
Macdonald and the other perjurers
who had sworn away MONEYS life.
All the indictments were dismissed
except one. Judge Griffin, at Moo
ney's request, reserved one indictment
for Billings and one for Mooney. For
is years MONEYS every demand to be
tried on the remaining indictment
was refused When Matthew Brady
first ran for District Attorney, he
made public statement that if elect
ed Mooney would be tried on the re-
naming indictment. He never kept
his promise, in spite of the fact that
he has publicly stated his belief in
the innocence of Mooney and Bill
ings.
Judge Ward Stated He Was Willing
to Try Mooney
Judge Ward, Of the Superior Court
bench, has already gone on record as
being willing to bring Mooney to trial.
Callicotte Confession Important
Factor
The California Supreme Court In
denying Billings pardon application
in the summer Of 1890 took the as
founding position that If Billings did
not commit the crime he certainly
should know who did. Governor
Young at that time took the Supreme
Courts decision as pretext for de-
nying MONEYS pardon. Governor
Rolph and ex-chief Justice Matt I.
Sullivan, his chief advisor, took the
same shameful stand that "if Mooney
didn't dot it, who did?" Paul CALI
cote has furnished them the answer
and his testimony will be OF great
significance in the demand for a new
trial. ~

Mass Support Essential
Moneys innocence was established
16 years ago when all the main wit

perjurers and when it was proven
that they had been coached in their
testimony by membmers of the San

Attorney Fickert and his assistants,

New Legal Steps to Free Mooney
The mass meeting will be one of
the means employed in rallying tens
Of thousands of Californians to sup
port the new legal steps being taken
to reopen the Mooney case. In view
of the action Of the California courts,
governors, and other officials in the

Demand Release of
Jailed Workers

The tobacco workers in Tampa,
Fla, Winston-Salem, N. c., and in
all the other cities in the United
States would be interested to learn
about the conditions of the workers
in the Rosa Luxemblrg tobacco fac
tory in Rostov.
The factory was one of the many
that were taken away from the boss
es during the great November 7th
Revolution the 18th anniversary of
which will soon be celebrated thru
out the world.
Before and After the Revolution
At the present time there are $500
workers in the factory. Some of the
workers have worked in this factory
since it was built. One old woman
worker who is now on pension told
us about the conditions before the
revolution. At that time she slaved
so many hours that she could not
keep count of them. She had to
get up at five O'Clock in the morning
in order to be able to be at work in
time and did not get home before
ten o'clock in the evening. Now every
one in the factory works seven hours
a day.
When. in 1905 the workers in this
factory went out on strike for an
increase in wages of one and half
kopekS (about one cent? an hour the
bosses got the troops and police
against the workers. Many of the
workers were beaten and arrested.
This old woman worker although she
lives on a pension given to her comes
to the factory and helps to train
new workers. All workers who have
worked a certain number of years in
industry are entitled to a pension
from the Workers and Farmers Gov
ernment.
Workers Unity
In this factory there are workers
from 20 different nationalities who
before the revolution were oppressed
by the Gar and who were fooled
into hating each other. Now they
are working together peacefully and
struggling shoulder to shoulder for
the fulfillment of the Five-Year Plan
and in that way bettering their living
and cultural conditions. This is a
very good example for us American
workers whom the bosses try to keep
divided by pitting white against Ne
gro, and native born against foreign
born. What the workers in Russia
did by uniting and fighting under
the leadership of the Communist
Party of Russia we too can do in the
United States.
Support Tampa Workers Struggles
On hearing about the struggles of
the tobacco workers in Tampa, Fla,
they expressed their solidarity with
them especially with those comrades
who are now in Jail. They want to
establish close connections with the
tobacco workers so that they can be
informed about their life and strug-
gle. In their turn they will write
regularly on how they are struggling
for the fulfilment of the Five Year
Plan and how they are bettering their
conditions. Undoubtedly the workers
in Tampa, Fla, are sufficiently in
terested on what is going on in the
Soviet Union to do this.

question. But it Is an honest, accu-
rate exposure of one of the vilest sys-
TENS of torture and slavery known to
history. More: The mass of evil
dence it piles up of tortures on the
chain gang, of the wholesale kid
mapping of Negroes and their legal
lied enslavement under the most bar
barous conditions-all supported by
official documents and pictures that
cannot be lied away-constitute a
smashing broadside against the en-
tire system of capitalist exploitation
and lynch law. No wonder the capi-
talist papers are suppressing these
facts.
Role Of Betrayers
In this conspiracy of silence, re-
vealed in yesterdays Daily Worker,
the role of the Socialist Party, the
American Federation of Labor and
the majority of the bourgeois Negro
press is particularly despicable. These
watchdogs Of the bosses, always quick
to catch the faintest whisper of their
masters voice, would rather draw
curtain of discreet silence over the
horrible conditions revealed in "Geor-
gia Niger" Rather than run the
danger of arousing still more the
awakening masses, both black and
white, they would keep intact these
prison camps and slave plantations
as islands of feudal torture, shut off
from the rest of the world, where
the white planters and capitalists
coin blood into money.
Let no one imagine that the condi-
tions exposed in Georgia Niger"
are exceptional or confined to the
State of Georgia alone. Nor let any
one think that they exist only in the
South; they can be found in the
North in only slightly less degree.
