II have had to adopt energetic
means to end anarchy and to down
those seeking the overthrow of the
national economic system" said
Carlos G. Davila, head of the Chill
can fascist miIitarist dictatorship,
yesterday. Il assume all respon-
sibility for them. The strict mea-
sures will be maintained as long
as they are indispensable to order,
He made the statement in order to
secure the applause of world capt.
talism for his murderous suppression
of the revolutionary struggles of the
Chilean workers and
ruined peasantry.
Davila clearly exposed that his aim
isnot to abolish capitalism and estab-
lish Socialism.
The Chilean national economy is
economy. In Chile CAPT.
talist economy is based on the fright
full exploitation and robbery Of the
toiling masses by teh capitalists of
the United States and England and
by the native feudal landowners.
1t is against this frightful system
that the revolutionary workers of
Chile, led by the Chilean Communist
Party, are struggling.

To protest against the depor-

that Bebritz have the right to
go to any country of his own
chaice, a mass meeting will be
held in the Hungarian Workers Hall,

The Hungarian editor came to the
United States legally several years
ago, and was active in the revolu-

posing the corrupt officials of the

MoRGANToWN, w. Va, June
27.-A desperate battle between
scabs and deputies on one side and
pickets fighting against the terrific
wage cut authorized by the United
Mine Workers took place here To-
day. One was killed and seven
wounded, two very seriously.
BRIDGEPORT, Ohio, June 81, AT
Amsterdam, armed scabs shot at ths
picket line today. Fortunately they
did not hit anyone. At this nina
militia, without provocation, hurled
gas bombs atthe picket Friday. Tui1n-
ty-six miners of Amsterdam, arreited
for picket duty recently, remain in
Jail and refuse to accept bail. They
say; Let the state feed u.s. The
women's auxiliary of the National
Miners Union voted to go on the pick
ct line.
At Taylor Gensrun mine. there
were $50 on the picket line today,
and only seven scabs got in.
Terror against the 1900 eastern
Ohio miners is growing as their strike
goes into its third month. There
have been scores of arrests, and the
state has spent $25O,o0o for militia
alone. Additional huge sums have
been spent for mine guards and dep
uty sheriffs. The scabs at Wolf Run
Mine, where last week the militia
charged the picket line with bayonets,
are assessed fifty cents day to pay
the mine guards.
Terror Against Rank and File
The terror is especially sharp in
the Amsterdam section because here
the miners have followed the lead of
the National Miners Union and taken
over the control of the strike through
their own elected united front rank
and file strike committees.
The United Mine Workers of Amer
lea officials cooperate with the strike
breaking county authorities by or
dering no mass picketing. and that
the pickets be limited to three at
each mine, marching so feet apart.
The deputies say that the bargain for
the three pickets was made with
Cirque, UMWA sub-district president.

American Workers
Urged to Protest
Terror

The militant mass actions of revo-
lutionary Japanese workers and
peasants have forced the japanese
fascist dictatorship to abandon its
plans to shroud with secrecy the trial
of 2o2 leading Japanese Communists.
The 202 revolutionary leaders were
arrested in Tokyo during series of
police raids from March is, 1928, to
April 16, 1929. Under the Japanese
law prohibiting dangerous thoughts
they face death or savage prison
terms. AS a result of the mass pro-
tests, the trials will now be conducted
In public.
1900 Arrested
The 2O2 working class leaders were
among the 1900 revolutionary work.
ers and peasants arrested throughout
the country on the night of March
Is, 1928. -Four hundred eighty-three
OF the 1900 were previously tried on
the charge of membership in the
Communist Party and sentenced to
hard labor for three to ten years.
The 202 now on trial were leading
functionaries of the Japanese Com
munist Party, many of them mem
bers of it's Central Committee. Their
trial started in June, 1881. The pro-
ceedings have lasted for over year,
with the court sitting every other day.
This is the longest trial on record.
The comrades are conducting their
own defense. The summing up argu-
ments will begin on July 5, with the
probability that sentence will be pro-
riounced at the end of July.
Call for Workers Support
The heroic Japanese Communist
Party has issued an appeal to the
American working class to rally to
the defense of these workers and
against the drive of the Japanese
ruling class to crush the revolution
airy organizations of the japanese
toilers. The appeal points out that
the trials are part of the savage ter
ror launched by the Japanese I'M
periaists against the toiling masses
at home as part of the robber war on
China and the preparations for a
war against the Soviet Union. Amer
lean workers and their organizations
are urged to hold protest meetings
and demonstrations before the Jap
anese consulates. Protest resolutions
and kilograms should be sent to Adj
miral M. Saito, Japanese Minister OF
Foreign Affairs and M. Miyagi, Judge
OF the Law Court in Toxic, Japan
Copies should also be sent to the To-
cal Japanese consul.

tionary solidarity with the revolu-
tionary Japanese masses!

1 OSISI. TOSU6I Will himself
lead a giant demonstration to-
morrow, at the Plaza against
the shooting by police of Basil
Dell, an unemployed worker,
when the police Red Squad raided
a private home where a group of un-
employed were meeting. The meet
ing will also be in protest against the
police brutality and refusal to allow
the workers the right of free speech
and assembly.
Three thousand workers massed
last night in front of Open Forum
Hall, to denounce the action of the
Red Squad" who had ordered the
hall closed to Foster.
Crowd Resists.
Again and again the police Red
Squad" and rs uniformed patrolmen
charged the crowd, swinging black
jacks and clubs, and driving automo-
biles into it. Every time the crowd
was broken by police charges, it re
formed and continued the demonstra-
ton.
1--WE want Foster" and Down with
police brutality" eve want unem-
ployment insurance" mo wage cuts. -
and similar Communist election slo-
gans were shouted. A hundred Pho
neers in mass formation, singing rev.
dictionary songs, vigorously refused
to be broken up.
The demonstration lasted for an
hour and a half Phelps, the detec-
tive lieutenant who sometimes COM
mands the Red Squad, rode on the
running board of a police car and
urged the driver to Run right into
them closet" Phelps is the cop who
shot Basil Dell in the hip last week.
The crowd booed Phelps, it booed
Hynes, the captain of the police Red
Squad" and it booed Harry Chandler,
the fiercely reactionary publisher of
the Los Angeles Times.
Police Stop Banquet.
Plans have been made for Foster TO
appear at welcome banquet at the
Workers Cooperative Center after
the demonstration at the Open
Forum Hall. A committee was there
preparing the banquet, when squad
of uniformed police and plain clothes
men of the Red Squad" dashed in
and drove the comittee out. After
that squads of police and detectives
remained on guard along the curb
outside the Cooperative, and in the
police cars parked all around, with
tear gas bombs, blackjacks and riot
guns ready for the Communist pres
idential candidate or any groups of
workers which might be coming to
take part in the welcome banquet.
At the Open Forum demonstration,
one woman was so badly beaten by
police blackjacks that workers had
to carry her into a drug store for
treatment. Another worker named
Clay was badly wounded about the
head. Meyer Baylin, leader in the
unemployed council was arrested.

PENNINGTON, N. j., June 81
Unless the machinery of the court
is unusually well-geared, details of
the Lindbergh kidnapping search in
volving politicians, police and gang
sters may creep into the trial here of
John H. Curtis, Norfolk, Va, ship
builder, who is charged with "ob-
structing justice"
Charges Third Degree
1t was Curtis who, during the
height of the kidnapping search, re-
ported detailed accounts of "negotia-
tons" with the kidnappers, later
"confessing" that the whole thing had
been a hoax.
Now Curtis charges that his con-
fession was forced from him by the
usual police tactics and says that
they bullied him into signing the
confession of the fake negotiations.
Col. Lindbergh has been subpeonaed
by Curtis as witness, and 1t is like
ly that others to be called will in
clude Col. H. Norman Schwartzkopf,
head of the New Jersey State Police;
Betty Cow, the Lindbergh nurse, and
Ollie Wheatley, Lindbergh's butler.

WORCESTER, Mass, June 81
Five hundred workers of this steel
town came to hear James W. Ford,
Communist candidate for vice-preS-
ident, condemn the starvation and
wage cut plans of the employers and
their Republican and Democratic and
Socialist Parties. Ford placed the
demand of the Communist Party Sor
unemployment insurance and against
wage cuts before workers who know
these things in all their bitterness.
The giant factories of the American
Steel and Wire Co. are practically
shut down in this "Hooverian Age"
and only about 600 work out of the
10000 formerly employed in them.
Norton's Grinding Machine Co. here
used 10 employ 1000 and now only
1900 are working there. In this
town of less than 100000 population,
there are $4,000 workers. many with
families, totally unemployed.
Only the married workers get regu-
lar relief, and they are forced to
work for it on the poor farm and on
city jobs. Last autumn the welfare
budget was cut by 100000 and since
then there have been ten per cent
cuts in the budget.

PARIS, June 81 (By Radio With
a giant Scottsboro protest demon
stration in orleans, near Paris, Mrs
Ada Wright, mother of two of the
Scottsboro boys, began the extension
of the Scottsboro campaign into the
French provinces. She is accompa-
MED by j. Louis Engdahl, national
secretary of the international Labor
Defense.
Engdahl was arrested after the Or
leans meeting on an alleged irregu-
larity in his passport. Mass pro-
tests forced his release. The Amer
lean Ambassador and the French
authorities are nervous because of the
tremendous response of the French
masses to the Scottsboro appeal.
Scottsboro demonstrations we're
held last Saturday and Sunday in
Bethune, Carvin and Seclin in the
coal mining district in northern
France. Both Mrs. Wright and Eng
dahl spoke at these meetings, which
were also addressed by Comrade
Chauvet, secretary of the French Sec
ton of the International Red Aid.
NEW YORK.-The giant demon
strations of European workers against
the Scottsboro lynch verdicts have
tremendously inspired the Negro and
white workers of this country in their
fight to free the nine Scottsboro
youths. Huge Scottsboro demonstra-
tons were held in Cleveland, Boston
and other American cities on June
"a, the date which had been set by
the Alabama Supreme Court for the
legal massacre of seven of the boys.
Worldwide mass protest forced the
U. S. Supreme Court to agree TO re-
view the lynch verdicts.
The hearing has been set for Oc-
tober 10. The workers can have no
illusions in the enemy courts. These
innocent boys can be freed only by
building and strengthening the mass
