The traditional May Day parade OF
the Red Army and the swearing in of
new troops began punctually at nine
o'clock Sunday. The parade featured
numerous Squadrons Of airplanes
moving in perfect evolutions above
the Red Square, and an unusually
large representation Of mechanical
attachments. Following the Red Army
parade, six columns of armed workers
headed the huge procession Of workers
through the Red Square.

Berkman sends forth a challenge and
a militant appeal for struggle Of the
workers of this country against the
evil of deportation, which the bosses
Of this country in their eagerness to
destroy the revolutionary unions, are
applying. Comrade Berkman is suf-
fering from tuberculosis, which she
contracted in prison, where she has
been confined for % weeks for her
activities as organizer and leader Of
the Lawrence textile strike in Oc-
tober, 1881.
Comrade Berkman is another Of
the leaders of the textile workers by
whose deportation the textile manu-
facturers believe they will be able
to prevent the organization of the
viciously exploited textile workers
and to keep down and lower their
wages. The workers in the textile
industry, both in the North and the
South, are receiving hunger wages.

cannot legally be deported, since she
is not citizen of Poland.
Pilsudski, the butcher of the Polish
workers, has good ally in Secretary
of Labor Doak, whose main Job is to
break strikes and deport foreign
born workers. Aided in this work by
the reactionary officials of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor, and, in
the case Of Comrade Berkman, by
the officials of the United Textile
Workers and the American Legion,
Doak believes that he can keep the
workers of this country from build

Terror cannot stop the working class.

AS long as the bosses can keep
Edith Berkman in jail; as long as
they can keep Tom Mooney and War

as long as they can try to send the

proved that they did not commit the
crime of which they were accused
of having raped" two white prosti-
tutes. The accusation is deliberate
lie, which was made in order to serve
the Diary ends of property owners and
manufacturers. These people want to
have the young Negroes burned alive,
in order to terrorize the toiling Negro
masses, who are rising against exploit
tation and who, together with their
white brothers and sisters, are build
ing united front against hunger,
imperialist war and the bloody white
terror.
The serious charge of which the
boys are accused showed itself from
the very beginning to be groundless,
and does not stand serious exanina-
ton. One of the prostitutes herself
later definitely repudiated her testi-
mony. The judges proceeded to
ignore this fact as if they had been
deaf and blind. The most debasing
race hatred of whites against blacks,
the expression of race arrogance and
a low standard of humanity and cul-
ture-awakened and dashed the brutal
instincts of the lynchers, and it was
in this atmosphere that the trial took
place and the sentence was passed.
This hatred RACES in Alabama, and
demands it's victims. To satisfy this
lust, eight young Negroes are to be
burned at the stake.
Because of the looming possibility
of death in the electric chair, we must
strain all our energies, we must act
swiftly, we must lose no time, we must
utilize every moment, so that eight
young lives may be saved from the
terrible fate of being burned alive in
the electric chair.

Five hundred workers paraded

Across the square on the review

stood members Of the foreign diplo-

thousands Of the best representatives
of the Soviet toiling masses, Red

working-class delegates who had
come for the Moscow May Day from
America, Germany, China, France,
Italy, Australia, England and all
parts of the globe bringing their
pledges of solidarity and defense Of

On buildings thanking the north
side Of the square ran monster ban

Promptly as the Krenlin bells
chimed nine. Voroshilov, commander
of the Workers and Peasants Red
Army and Navy, rode into the square,
where he greeted the assembled de-
tenders of the Soviet Power, the toll
ers Of the U.SS.R. and the interna-
tEonal working class in the name of
the First OF May.
The bands struck up the Interna-
tional. The sun, which had been
hidden until then, suddenly flooded
the square, lighting the masses Of
upturned faces Following Voroshi-
lows brief, tense speech, a brilliant
parade of all branches of the armed
forces, infantry, cavalry and artillery
began, closing with impressive man
euvers by squadrons of high-powered
aeroplanes, while on Red Square It
self mechanical army transport units
thundered by.
Beginning soon after IL, Moscow's
workers, marching by factories, be-
gan pouring six columns abreast into
the square. Singing, faces aglow,
bodies erect, they swung by in end
less lines, carrying banners like a
red forest overhead.
Those plants with the best record
had the honor of leading the march,
such as Electrozavod, 10000 workers;

AS the workers passed the review
ing stand, friendly shouts Of recog-

Posters and floats, as we'll as striking
exhibits made by the workers
throughout Moscow, depicted the la

the contrast with the crisis in CAPT

Many singing caricatures of the
capitalists and their lackeys featured
