Nazi Testimony
(Inprecorr CabIe)

BERLIN, Germany, Sept. 21.-Nine
workers are on trial accused of muir
der as result of fight in front
of the fascist local office. The evil
dence of the Official revolver expert
today was that the only bullet marks
twelve in number, found were on the
wall of the house across the street
proving that the persons firing we're
in front of the fascist office and
shooting away from it.
Police Captain Maule testified that
revolvers found in the fascist prem
ises were more likely thrown away
by the fascists than by the Commu-
nists.
Experts Confirm Workers
The experts evidence fatty con-
tradicts the contentious in the in
dictment and the evidence of the
accused workers corroborates the ex-
perts' testimony in every respect.
Hearing Of the fascist witnesses be-
gan today. Although the street
where the collision took place was
dinly lighted the fascist witnesses de-
clare they recognized the accused
workers as the shooters, although
they were, SO the fascists say, stand
ing across the street.
Even the president of the court was
compelled to indicate that the fas-
cist testimony does not tally with the
fact that all the bullet marks were
found on the wall opposite the fas-
cist office.
The fascist testimony was detailed
in manner impossible to have come
about by chance, and indicates care
full preparation.

COURT RULES FOR
MCKEE TO REMAIN
Communists Demand
7 Election This Fall

NEW YORK. Yesterday Supreme
!. Court Justice John F. Mcclellan, q
good Tammany man, ruled that Act
ing Mayor Mckee should hold office
until 1894. This is decision in the
best interests Of Wall Street, which
regards Mckee as a rather better
tool for its use than anybody the
faction opposed to him has in mind.
There is a strong rumor that Tam
many leaders in general are rather
glad to be able SO easily to slip out
of their promises to Walker that he
would have "vindication campaign
this fall
The decision will have to go to the
Appellate Division now for confirm
alton and reversal The Communist
Party continues its demand for an
election this November and continues
to gather signatures to put william
l.. Patterson on the ballot for mayor
Patterson Statement
Patterson issued statement yes
terday pointing out that Mckee is
no less an agent of Wall Street than
was the late mayor, Jimmy Walker.
Patterson said:,
when the Committee of the I'm
employed Council on September 10
demanded of Mckee a definite an
Swer as to whether he would declare
moratorium ON the debt service and
at the same time have the Board
of Estimate appropriate 100 million
dollars as the minimum amount of
relief necessary for the unemployed
during the coming winter, Mckee,
first evasively then categorically, said
No. The Unemployed Committee
called him correctly a representative
of the bankers.
Yesterday, Mckee, after talking
demagogically about his hard-work
ing father, said, 1T is a painful task
and SO is cutting salaries The
bankers want results, and i have de-
termined to see that they get them.
THE bankers demand retrenchment
an dthe cutting of relief. They de-
mand that the workers themselves
raise the necessary relief for the
more than one million unemployed in
the City of New York, and Mckee
is in full agreement.
Bankers Gather
"While Mckee was confirming the
program of the bankers, a meeting
took place in the office of j. P. Nor
gan and Company where Mr.. Gibson,
who headed the Emergency Relief of
last year. Cornelius Bliss, lThonias
Lamont, General Hartford, Owen D.
Young, Felix Warburg, H. B. Swope,
Myron c. Taylor. Charles Schwab,
ETC., etc, representing the Wall ST.
bankers, determined on the emer-
gency drive for next winter which
will be totally at the expense Of the
workers.
Mckee can no longer pretend any
so-called liberalism or Inherent in
the unemployed He is a downright,
open tool of Wall Street, determined
to see that Wall Street gets what it
demands.
THE Communist Party and the
Unemployed Council accept this chal-
lenge of Mckee and Wall Street and
will organize the workers and lead
them in fight for adequate unem-
ployment relief and insurance. The
unemployed in New York City will
not starve and any provocation on
the part of Mckee will not keep them
from getting food and shelter this
winter. Mckee and Wall Street will
get another resounding answer by
the workers voting Communist on

venting all non-residents from COM
ing into it, and the police instituted
a house to house search for leading
strikers and sympathizers, arresting
eight.
The mass funeral scheduled for to-
day Thursday for Walter Rock,
11-year-old son of striker who was
shot through the head and killed on
Monday by police, has been prohi-
bited by police authorities but the
aroused strikers are determined to
pay full workingclass honors to their
dead
A delegation of workers from more
than 20 workingclass organizations in
New York will attend the funeral as
an expression of solidarity with the
heroic strikers who have won VIC
tories in seven shops and who have
declared a protest strike in these
shops until Monday in protest at
the murder of the boy.
Arrest Strike Delegation
Seven strikers who were elected by
the Strike Committee to speak at a
meeting in Cooper Union in New
York, tonight were arrested by state
troopers and charged with N"instigat-
ing" the riot in which police killed
Walter Rock and wounded three
others after firing several hundred
shots. The police have admitted that
they had obtained additional am
munition from police headquarters
after using all they carried in their
revolvers and revolver belts.
The protest strike remains solid
despite the terror in which state
troopers accompanied by police are
arresting all known militant workers
with Jon Doe warrants and are
searching homes in the working class
neighborhood for alleged caches OF
arms and ammunition.
The strike started more than two
weeks ago when 1,700 women workers
in needle shops were given wage
cut. They had been getting as low
as SIS week in many cases. The
strike is being led by a rank and
file strike committee and is supported
by the Needle Trades Workers In
dustrial Union.
Protest Resolutions.
Protest resolutions against the MUIR
der Of Walter Rojek and the shooting
of the three other workers are pour
ing in on the governor of New Jersey,
on the prosecuting attorney in New
Brunswick and on the Boro Council
of South River from workingclass
organizations all over the country.
The strike committee urges work.
ers throughout the country to sup
port the protest strike which has been
declared by the victorious strikers
against the terror which has been
launched to prevent the winning of
further victories. 1t also calls on
working class organizations to hold
demonstrations thruout the state of
New Jersey to demand the with
drawal Of state troopers from South
River, and to rush relief for the
strikers to the Workers International
Relief. II Plum St., New Brunswick.

KENTUCKY Mine
STRIKE IS WON
Coleman Mine Boss
Grants All Demands

PINEVILLE, KY, Sept 21.-The
Coleman mine strike has been won.
Now the miners of other mines
around here are talking of doing the
same.
The mine had been giving its work.
ers no regular pay at all, but only
store orders for what they earned.
The company store was frequently
empty, and the orders were no good
anywhere else.
The miners won demands for a
regular pay day, for the company
store to be kept stocked, and for
metal scrip instead of the orders,
so that they could trade with ped
dlers.
The National Miners Union is ac-
tive here but there is considerable
terror against it, preventing an open
organizing campaign.
