WASHINGTON, jan "a. War ships and
marines are being rushed by the Hoover hunger
government to FL Salvador to crush an uprising
of the workers and peasants, reported to be led
by the Communist Party of Ell Salvatore.
The Wall Street government which condemns
100000 American workers to starvation is
greatly alarmed by the news coming from Ell
Salvatore that the workers and peasants not
only have captured many towns, but that tr>
movement is spreading to the extent that the
fascist dictatorship previously established IS
faced with complete breakdown.
Along with the American battleship, British
and Canadian cruisers are rushing to to Ell Sal
vadore to help in the proposed slaughter Of the
hungry masses.
The State Department at Washington has

The defense attorneys proved that
the boys we're sentenced to death at
a trial held in a tense lynching at
mosphere, with lynch gangs sur
rounding the court. The State pro-
secutor attempts to deny the tact,
generally reported eevn in the cap
italist press at the time of the orig
inal trials" In a fiery speech he
demanded death for the boys.
The court has taken the appeal
under Amusement" Usually the court
hands down decisions within month,
but there is no limitation to the time
it may take to make public its de-
Tense.
In this case it is likely to take sew
eral months in the hope that the
working-class will relax its vigilance
and that the mass protests against
these lynch verdicts will die down.
The white and Negro workers In
the united front movement to save
and free the boys and to smash the
lynch terror must guard against such
manouvering on the part OF the Ala
bama Supreme Court Of the ruling
class. The mass fight to save and
free the boys must be continued and
must be intensified.
