many other prominent fascists pres

Italian Ambassador made trip

the funeral.
At the church, paens of praise were
sung over the dead gangster. The
expensive coffin was then carried to
the pier of the SIS. Saturnia by lead

of Italian fascism, and surrounded by
a color guard. Fascist militiamen re-

PRISON CAMPS
TORTURE SHOWN
SWeat-BoX Case Leads
to Exposure

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, July IA
How Arthur Maillefert was tortured
before he was strangled to death in
the sweat box" at the Sunbeam
prison camp near Jacksonville was
revealed in testimoly brought out at
the hearing that resulted in murder
charges against two guards.
Sweat Box" Death.
Conditions typical of southern
prison camps were reported. A fellow
prisoner testified that Maillefert,
stripped, with his head locked in a
barrel, kicked and squirmed, gnats
and mosquitoes after him. He was
helpless-couldn't even brush them
away" In the sweat box" in which
he was strangled, a heavy chain
lowered from the roof of the box
was tightened about his neck, so h
had to stand upright-or strangle
The stocks on his feet prevented any
movement of his legs. Finally, ex-
hausted, unfed for II hours, he gave
way.
Courson, the guard who tortured
Maillefert, was allowed to go free on
bond during the probe into condi-
tions.
Packed Like Sardines.
The prison camp is in a clearing
surrounded by mosquito-infested bog
holes. The men are packed like sar-
dimes into the frame buildings where
they sleep. Prisoners must work 1C
hours day under the broiling sun
with brutal taskmasters and torture
if they slow up second.
AS soon as the news of the tor
ture in the prison camp leaked out
authorities tried to hush it up by
breaking up the camp and transfer
ring the prisoners to the state penal
farm at Railford, Fla, for farm work
but other prison camps are still
operating under the same rotten
conditions.

Chang Uses Planes Against Soviets.
While Chang refused to use his
military planes against the Japanese,
these planes are now being modified
for the anti-Soviet offensives The
Kuomin news agency announces that
the attack will be made from various
directions and that Chang himself
will command the main column.
Chang will attack in Honan Prov
inces, where the Red Armies have
recently won a number of smash
ing victories against his troops. The
second army will attack i'll Hupeh on
the left, and the third column will
attack on the right In the province
of Anwhei. Both Hupeh and An

The Shanghai newspapers report
that the main Red Army which is

the direct command of the Central
Chinese Soviet Government has now
grown to 100000 men with 10000

NISHIMURA GOES

Departure

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, July IA
After a two-year fight by the In
ternational Labor Defense, M. Nishi-
mura, militant Japanese worker con-
denned by the agents of Secretary
of Labor Doak to be deported to fas-
cist Japan, whers imprisonment for
long years would have awaited him,
is now on his way to the Soviet
Union.
Twice Doak's agents ordered him
deported but the International La
Dor Defense kept up the fight, and
last fall succeeded in getting him
out of Angel Island, where he had
been held nearly a year, on bail.
On his way from Angel Island he
was again arrested by the immigra-
ton authorities. Finally, this month
the workers defense organization
won it's battle for voluntary depart
ure for Nishimura.
Nishimura told an incident of his
Imprisonment which showed that in
spite of all persecution, the workers
spirit cannot be broken. Over the
fourth of July the keepers tried to
hold the workers locked up. The
heat in the tanks was unbearable,
and, under the leadership of milit-
ant fighters, the prisoners staged a
demonstration within the walls of
Angel Island More than ninety per
cent of the workers came out in
support of the demand to be allow
ed their usual privileges over the 4th,
and the authorities were compelled
to grant the demand without reserv-
alton.

their complete accord with Moore.
Produce Photographs.
Despite the fact that the Interna-
tional Labor Defense proved through
photographs and evidence that the
Duluth police met the hunger march
ers with machine guns, ready for
action in a bullet-proof car, with
tear gas, riot clubs, an ambulance, a
patrol wagon and squad cars, the city
council at it's meeting on July II did
not even censure Moore for his ac-
ton.
"Sniveling" Snively, the mayor, was
grotesque in his attempt to defend
Commissioner Moore's action. He
called attention to a mob that
lynched three innocent Negroes in
Duluth more than 10 years ago and
attempted to compare the mob with
the march to Duluth of toiling farm
ers, their wives and children.
Aid Lynchers.
The I. L. D. spokesman called at
tention to the fact that the police
did nothing to interfere with the
forming of the mob to lynch the
three innocent circus hands, and
that after the Negroes were in the
hands of the mob the police that
are so handy with their riot clubs
when it comes to clubbing workers
made only faint efforts to prevent
the lynching. Commissioner Moore
on the other hand, commended the
police for their actions in the ST.
Louis County Farmers Hunger March
and when pressed about the tear
gas, the bullet proof car, the ambul-
ance and the other viciousness dis
played, he tried to pass the buck tc
