MASSILON, Ohio, July 18.-As the
Ohio state ratification convention of
the Communist Party neared to a
conclusion here yesterday, more than
100 of the delegates suddenly became
Ill and were rushed to the city hos
pital, where doctors declared that
they were suffering from ptomaine
poisoning resulting from a meal which
they had eaten earlier in the day.
This morning only + o u r
delegates remained In the hospital,
the others being discharged.
Doctors engaged by the Arrange

are making an exhaustive investiga-
ton of the causes for the illness of
thedelegates. They were today max
ing laboratory tests to decide upon
the exact nature of the illness.
The news that the delegates were
stricken brought an instantaneous
response from the working class
sections of the city, who offered
every service at their disposal.
Hospital Overcrowded.
Because the city hospital was al
ready overcrowded, the sick delegates
were placed two in bed, and many
of them had to be given medical at
tention as they lay nthe hospital
corridors and on the grounds, where
theywere wrapped in blankets.

The new bomb is made neces-

workers, the most recent example
of which took place here before
the Office of Congressman De
Priest, Negro misleader when pol

viciousness of the attack is seen
in the fact that the police thugs

separate investigations into the death

after eleven hours of questioning" by
the cops last Friday
Lyman Stark, together with three
others, had been arrested as suspects
Friday morning after Mrs. Valera

Joseph Hizenski, had, according to
the police, been beaten and robbed
in her home at Roslyn Heights, in
Long Island.

he returned to Mineola, Long Island,
last night, but how complete the in

the district attorneys evasion of the
question whether any photographs
had been taken showing injuries or
indications of beatings by the cops.
Funeral Held.
The formal court hearing on the
case opened this morning before Su-

brink. At the same time funeral
services we're being held for Hyman
Stark at 141 Ludlow Street, on the
East Side. Friends of the family
who saw the body said both eyes
were blackened and the face covered
with bruises. Apparently the over
enthusiastic" cops, as the District
Attorney cynically called them yes
terday, neglected the advise of one
detective present, who according to
Samuel S. Leibowitz, Brooklyn at
torney for Philip Cecala, another of
the four boys beaten up, had warned
the police sluggers not to mark up
the face.
Stark's sister, neighbors said, is
penniless.
Leibowitz said his client was also
badly beaten pouring the eleven

What About Breezy?
While the capitalist press is CIV
ing this case wide publicity, under
the pretence that this is an unusual
case, other cases Of equal or greater
outrages perpetrated by uniformed
sluggers are ignored. Nothing, or
very little, is said Of the case OF Tho
mas Breezy in st. Louis, whose mind
was so deranged by the vicious slug
ging and third degree at the hands
Of the st. Louis police that he conf
mitted suicide last Saturday.
The reason for this silence is easy
to see. The case was too raw.
Breezy was one Of as workers ar
rested following the murderous at
tack upon $4,000 unemployed work
ers demonstrating in st. Louis for
bread, and the simplest kind of in
vestigation would have exposed too
openly the capitalist terror machine
in action against the working class.
