Call Striking Seamen
Mutineers: Get Long
Hard Labor Sentences
Gable by Inprecorrl

BERLIN, Dec. 10, = Twenty three
German seanei1 were tried yesterday
in Emden in, connection with the
strike which took place in the harbor
of Odessa, during which an assault
was made on the German Consul by
number of the seamen. The seamen
chiefly implicated preferred not 10
return to Germany, but to stand
their trial for the assault in Odessa.
The events which followed proved
that this decision was exceedingly
wise.
Yesterday in Emden te chief ac-
cused, although by no means the
leading spirit of the affair, was SEN
fenced TO two years hard labor. Three
other seamen we're sentenced to one
year and one months hard labor
each. Nineteen other accused were
sentenced to shorter terms, none Of
them under two months. These nine
teen, who were accused Of mutiny,
had done. nothing more than go on
strike, and the accusation specified
nothing more.
This is German bougeois class just
ice. Years Of hard labor rs the penalty
for what was nothing more than a
common assault on a representative
Of the bourgeoisie by workers who
had lost control Of themselves because
Of scandalous treatment. Workers are
expected to accept that without a
murmw.

Relief to the Striking Kentucky Miners
A Main Task Of American Working Class

The relief campaign for the Ken
lucky miners must be instituted on
the broadest possible scale, "A. F. Of
L. locals, fraternal organizations,
workers clubs must be drawn into
the collection of food, funds and
clothing. A constant stream of re-

Bosses Liars Active With s
New Years Predictions

General Electric co On New Year,
1882, stated: we think that condi-
tons in our country in 1882 should
be at least as good as in 1881" "At
least as good as in 1871" Swope con-
siders starvation for 100000 to be
good When he says that conditions
win be at least al good, he means of
course, that profits will be at least
as good, and with further wage cuts,
further speed-up, more unemploy-
ment, may even be slightly better
for the capitalists.
The year 1881 ywage q, frightful one
for the American workers. Twelve
million were out of work, and at least
that many on part-time work. Wage
slashes and unemployment cut $780,
000,O00,00O from the. workers pay ac-
cording to the9 admission of the
American Federation of Labor. The
Industrial Conference Board, capt.
tahst statistical institution, declares
that IS per cent Of the American
workers are either unemployed or on
part-time work.
The basic industries are at q vir-
tual stand-still. Steel production is at
% per cent. Automobile production
is near zero.
Wage cuts are coming for the rail-
road and building trades workers.
No worker should believe the lies Of
the capitalists. The workers "way
out" is to struggle against starva-
ton, against wage cuts and for the
overthrow of capitalism.
The year 1882 Should see the de-
veIopment of gigantic, nationwide
fight for unemployment insurance at
the expense Of the bosses and their
government. The first step in the new
year should be a sweeping demon
stration on February 4, National Un-
employment Insurance Day.

INDIA CIVIL WAR
LOOMS; GHANDI IN
ROLEOF MARTYR
Masses of the Lower
Castles Demand
Bread

NEW YORK.-While the British
nobility and borgeoisie were cele-
brating with song, dance and wine
the dawning Of the new year, talk Of
civil war lowered over India today,
according to an Associated Press dis
patch.
The rising tide of militancy Of the
Indian masses, and especially of the
"untochuables" and Clover castes",
which recently crystalIized itself in
great mass demonstration against
Mahatma Gandhi upon his return
from the court Of st. James in Eng
land, is mounting hourly and, &C
cording to observers, is likely to
sweep on over entire India, drawing
in all the masses in a gigantic strug-
gle against British imperialism and
native capitalism.
Gandhi, however, is working with
feverish speed in an attempt to side
track the great mounting movement
OF the masses Of toilers. Calling on
the Indian people to manufacture
their own salt and break the immoral
laws, Gandhi proposes once more to
go to Jail and become q martyr, as
a means of preventing the masses
from taking up real revolutionary
anti-imperialist struggle. The masses
in the meantime, starving. by the mil
lions, are raising the cry for bread.
Bread--not salt! This is the slogan
under which the hungry millions Of
Indian workers are marching. Down
with British imperialism! Down
with Gandhi! These slogans are
echoing up and down the streets of
Calcutta and Bombay today.

NEW HAVEN, Conn. CBy Mail)--
Six weeks ago in canvassing a Me-
gro section the Unemployed Council
found family Of Negro workers
with ten children that were threat
ened with eviction. There was no
food, coal, clothing or shoes in the
house. The Unemployed Council
appointed a committee to go to the
Community Chest and succeeded in
stopping the eviction and securing
81 a week relief, which is not sufSi-
Gent for family Of this size.
D. Brisbane moved into another
house three weeks ago and has been
served with the eviction notices. Mr..
and Mrs. Brisbane and family came
to New Haven five months ago. An
official from the state visited him
a short while ago and said he would
have to go back to the state Of North
Carolina to get relief. A trunk was
sent around to pack up their things
and be ready to be shipped back.
The state law says . worker must
reside in this state four years be-
fore he can get relief. meanwhile
while waiting he can starve) The
children have not attended school
since the term started in Septem-
Der, because of lack of clothes, and
the Board Of Education Is doing
nothing to give clothes in order to
send the children to school.
The Brisbane family viii fight
rather than go back to starvation
in North Carolina. The sheriff was
there to evict them on Tuesday, but
this was postponed until Wednesday
at 4 pm. The Unemployed Com
mittee visited the Community Chest
and the Family Aid Society On Tues
day, Jan. 90, and the latter prom
ised to stop the eviction.
