MOVEMENT
In spite of the short time a
powerful protest movement set in.
In face of the tremendous indigna-
ton of the workers, the social de-
mocrats could not this time, as they
did after the overthrow of the Hun
garian Soviet dictatorship, say "the
guilty must suffer for their crimes"
They therefore adopted the hypo-
critical pose of opponents of the
Summary Court, but in reality in
cited against the Communist move
ment, and thereby prepared the
way for the death sentence. Jean
Longuet, the French deputy, came
to Budapest in order to appeal to
the humanity" of Hungarian fas-
cism, but in the same declaration
. stated that he had always been an
opponet of the Bolsheviki. The
most shameful attitude was that of
the Vienna "Arbeiter- Zeitung." 1t
published an article in which the
two revolutionaries were described
as agents of Moscow, who had to
obey the orders of Moscow in order
not to be treated as traitors, and
melted particularly against Com
rade Sallai, the Checklist" quite in
style of the police officers who gave
evidence before the Summary Court
in order to incriminate Sallai. And
the Hungarian social democracy
protested" against the Summary
Court and the death sentence, but
at the same time demanded that
the Hungarian workers should re-
frain any action.

GIFTS LIKE a fire." said the young
1dirt farmer, Frank Frances, who
had been on the prairie only
year. Everything burns up. Now
my cows sick, and if she dies!
Why is it? Why is it?"
ooh, it's-on account of the sun"
said the dirt farmer, Davis, whose
smile seemed a part of his drawl.
Ever notice it up there, Frances?

er's crops grow, ripens the apple
on the bough! just now it looks
like a red hot silver cartwheel.
Better take a long look at it, it's

the water'll go, then the corn and

"Oh, you mean hunting"
yeah - mean hunting, all

THE DEADLY DROUGHT
Davis was right: the water went
first in the shallow holes in the
range-lot. The bottoms blistered
in blunt diamond shapes of dry
mud, peeled, and the edges rolled
up till they met in the middle.
The grass dried, the alfalfa burnt
to stalks. The corn was stunted
and never developed ears. What
wheat there was never developed in
the heads. The vegetables in the
kitchen garden died.
You could see the bottom of the
windmill shaft, though it stood
surrounded by aspens at the back
of the farmhouse; the leaves were
tfinned out as if it were autumn.
And as less and less water was
pumped up, it was cloudier and

The Gallows of Budapest

IN JULY 20, two Hungarian Com
" munists were brought before a
Summary Court, and after a far
cical trial lasting a few hours we're
sentenced to be hanged, which
sentence was soon afterwards car
ried out. Both the indictment and
the verdict could only cite two
things which the accused had real
. y committed, namely, they had
drawn up Communist recruiting
appeals and organized an anti-war
demonstration. That was the whole
facts Of the case. Even after the
overthrow of the Soviet dictator
ship, in the civil war atmosphere
of the bloody years of 1919-l920, if
any death sentence was passed it
was always on the alleged ground
that the accused had participated
in a murder. Suddenly, simple
Communist recruiting work sufficed
in order to bring two young COM
radeS to the gallows.
On August 1, last it was thirteen
years since the heroic dictatorship
of the Hungarian proletariat, this
outpost of the world revolution, was
overthrown. There came the years
of relative sterilization of capital
ism, and the Hungarian bourgeoi-
sic, Hungarian fascism again felt
strong. They boasted of having
banned for ever the spectre of
Communism. During this period
their judges, instead of death SEN
fences, imposed prison sentences Of

At the age of II I was forced to
begin making my own way. Since
then I have worked in 1875 differ
cnt mills throughout the states of
Virginia, No. Carolina, Alabama,
and Georgia. In every mill that
I worked I found that the company
has not only a company village
with company police, but that they
control the city and county govern
ment. In every section that I have
worked I found the workers Strug-
Cling on starvation wages, and when
the workers dare to protest against

only one small mill; now they own

LESSONS OF THE
BOSS CRISIS
witnessing three years of the
worst times that 1 have ever heard
of has proven to me that only the
Communist Party and the revolu-
tionary unions, can only give the
workers permanent relief from the
profit greedy bosses. 1 know that
if we white workers ever aim to get
anything for ourselves that we
must join hands with our black
brother workers, in order to win
a victory over the boss class.
now see that the boss class only
teaches race hatred in order to keep
the workers divided SO that they
can rob both Negro and white
workers slike. This is the best
means of cutting wages that the
bosses have, for they are able to
use one worker against the other.
I ask all workers, both white and
black to join hands in the struggle
against our enemy, the boss class.
All workers must get behind the
drive for the Daily Worker, the only
paper that really tells of the starv-
ing conditions of the workers, and
what they must do to better their
conditions. I'm not only support
ing the Communist Party in the
election but I'm going to do my best
to help build vote Foster and

opinion prevails in competent Cir
cles that it is impossible to de-
signate such crimes as political
crimes The accused were never
once given the opportunity of con-
ferring with their defenders. The
defenders were not allowed to see
the evidence of the Prosecution.
They were continually prevented
from speaking in the Court And
when one Of the defenders display

stained underclothing of Comrades
Sallai and Furst, who had been
frightfully tortured by the police
in order to extort confessions from
them, the President of the Court
shouted furiously: 81 forbid you to

DEATH SENTENCE
FARCIAL TRIAL
The Red Aid workers defense
appointed two attorneys. They were
not allowed to see the accused. And
when they were told, that the trial
will take place on the 29th of July,
they protested and demanded an
interview with their clients. This
was denied The trial took place
despite the protest, and lasted
barely 80 minutes, thirty was used
by the prosecutor.
Sallai and Furst, before the Sum-
mary Court, when faced with death
proclaimed their allegiance to Com
munism. After the farcical trial
the death sentence was pronounced
within a view minutes.
Two hours after the sentence had
been pronounced, Sallai and Furst
were led with the greatest possible
haste to the place of execution.
