stating how many days I had been

This check I took to the time

shop foreman checked the figures
and signed the paper and sent me
to the cashier, who handed out my
sick pay Just the same as he handed
out my pay for the days worked
The thing was as simply done as
I have told you. This same care and

SEND RESOLUTIONS
OF PROTEST

The fight to save the Scottsboro
boys must be carried to its high
est pitch, precisely at the present
moment. But our fight will be all
the stronger if we combine it at
the same time with the fight for
the release Of Mooney and the
other class war prisoners. 1t is for
this reason that every Scottsboro
meeting should pass resolutions de-
manding freedom for Mooney and
the immediate release Of Lawrence
Emery, both Of whom are in San
Quentin. Send these resolutions to
the State Prison Board, San Quen-
tin, Cal.

EMERY CAN
BE FREED!

Can Lawrence Emery be freed
before the time scheduled by the
State Prison Board of California?
He can! The board can be COM
PEELED to return to Emery some of
the good time" allowed to every
prisoner by prison rules and of
which Emery has been deprived.
But to compel the Board to do
this mass pressure of organized
workers must be organized. More
over, this is the time for redoubl-
ed efforts in behalf of the Scots
boro boys if the U. S. Supreme
Court is not to lull the workers
into false security. Our efforts for
the release of Tom Mooney and
all other class war prisoners are
not separate from our efforts to
save the Scottsboro boys from CAPT
talist class Justice. The case Of
ALL class-war prisoners must be
combined into a single and mighty
offensive against capitalist terror.

was released on October 3, came
out of Folsom prison after serving
two years and three months.
But Lawrence Emery must serve
six months longer than any of the
other Imperial Valley prisoners.
Why? There is no other answer
than that he has been made the
object Of special discrimination by
the State Prison Board. BY the
time Emery will be released he will
have served nearly three years in
prison "for possession and distri-
button Of Communist literature!
LONG SENTENCES
Just as there is no limit to the
capitalists lust for profit, so there
is no limit to the VENGEANCE and
hatred Of the capitalist class
against workers who fight for the
interests Of the working class. This
is why the Imperial Valley pris-
oners were at first given "onlv''
three to AZ years. Later. under
pressure modified by the Interna-
tional Labor Defense, these SEN
fences were reduced to one to IA
years. Yet, most Of the workers in
this case served over two wears in
prison for possession and djstribu-
ton of literature of which the
Daily Worker was considered by
L a 49,
tionabIe'. And this in a country
where the ruling class still dares
to pose before millions of workers
as a democracy. And Lawrence
Emery whose only "crine" was his
activity in the organization of a
union and branch Of the Commu-
mist Party among the workers Of
the Imperial Valley, is still in
prison.

 Attorney Cassidy demands that tho state set forth particularly the alleged details of the visit of the troopers.
 It is the contention of the de- fense that the advising and direct ing n certain fixed diet is not and does not constitute the practice of natureopathy under the provisions of snid statutes. Prescribing for an- other person is not the practice of this particular science and does not constitute violation of said statutes.
 Chief Two Moon is charged with the violation of chapter l5G of the general statutes which is an at" tempt to regulate the practice of nntureopnthy in the stato of Come tlcut, tho practice of natureopathy being defined in section 2772 Of tho said chapter of general statutes of 1880 follows:
 Section 2772--The practice of nntureopathy shall moan the prac- tice of the psychological, mechan- ical and material sciences of heal Ing as follows: The psychological sciences. such as psychotherapy; the mechanical sciences. such as mechanoptherapy, nrticulnr manip. ulntion, corrective and orthopedit gymnastics, neuro- -therapy, physin- therapy, and tho material sciences such as dletctics. and external ap- plicatlons; but shall not mem in- ternal medication or the adminis- tering of any substance stimulating medicine or tho form of mcdI. cine"

A motion for n more specific statement of allegations and n de- murrcr to two of i've counts pre- ferred against Chief Two Moon Meridas arrested on the charge of practicing natureopathy without license, have been filed by his coun- sel, Attorney John II. Cassidy. The trial of tho well known Indian herb specialist scheduled for thiB morn. Ing was postponed until Wednes- day morning to permit Judge T. ". Meyer to preside. The latter was en- gagged In another case today.
 Attorney Cassidy has raised n very Interesting question in tho prepara- ton of hiB defense. If his contcn- ton Is upheld then it is more than likely that owners or managers Of private gymnaslums and health clinics will be considered ns ops orating in violation of tho Ia" which tho state of Connecticut now attempts to enforce against Chief Two Moon.

THE BEAUTIES OF
 CHARLES ISLAND
Subject of Address at St
 Francis Xavier Parish
BY FATHER BAXTER

Rev Edmund A. Baxter of st Mnry's parish. New Haven, head of the work being carried on at Charles Island, accompanied by Brother Denard and Patrick Walsh, were guests of tho Holy Name society at St Francis Xavier hall last night, where Father Bax- ter explained the program for the present year at Charles Island, and also enlightened his hearers on how retreats arc conducted. Tho speaker also explained what has been accomplished the past few years In clearing tho land and put ting up buildings, all of(which he snid cost about $00.000. This could not have been done were 1t not that large share of tho material used and labor employed cost little or nothing. There will be eight retreats this year. The number that cnn be accommodated at each will not exceed 35 or 40. but the management hopes to be able to care for larger numbers in the near future.
 owing Co the depression, and in order that nobody who would like to spend three days at the island this year will be dis appointed, figures have been obtained which show that tho ac- tual cost of meals and help for the three days amounts to $4.65. This will be the most for the present year, but it k expected that as many as can give more than that will do so. The regular price last year was $t0,.

The happy smiling group that you see pictured above has been somewhat changed during the past two days, in both size and express sion. The group represents 20 ambitious young couples, starting the Walkathon Dance Marathon nj the Waterbury Arena oh Phoenix avenue last Friday night. At press hour today, there were 10 of the 20 couples remaining and some of them were pretty tired after walk ing and dancing for the major part of 64 hours.

 Considering the fact that they have been nearly thrde full days without more than 16 minutes rest out of every hour, the boys and girls are doing remarkably well. and seem to be in excellent condl- ton, when ono remembers that the marathon Is their first experience.
