3 GET LONG TERM
in BOMB FRAMEUJP
LID Denounces Brutal
Action of Court

NEW YORK-Following a convic-
ton in the General Sessions Court on
an obvious police frame-up charge of
exploding bomb in the hold Of a
barge at Pier IL, East River, on the
night Of Nov. 16, John Soderburg,
Thomas Bunker and William Trajar,
members of the Independent Tide
water Boatmen'S Union, were SEN
fenced Monday to long terms in Sing
Sing by Judge Allen.
A sentence of from IL to IS years
was imposed on Soderburg, secretary
Of the union. Bunker and Trajar
we're both sentenced to serve not less
than six or more than twenty-five
years.
The conviction of these men was
part of police provocation aimed at
the Communist Party and the revo-
lutionary unions. When the men
were first arrested the capitalist press
throughout the country announced
that Communist plot" to dynamine
New York Harbor was uncovered. The
whole provocation collapsed, however.
The police were forced to admit that
the men were not members of the
Communist Party. Soderburg had
been expelled from the Marine Work
ers Industrial Union for disruptive
and anti-working class activities.
The long sentences imposed by the
court are an attempt on the part of
the ruling class TO save the face of
the police.
The convictions followed a trial in
which police agent by the name of
Hoyle, who was also indicted in the
so-called plot, turned state witness.
Hoyle was not sentenced with the
rest of the men.
The International Labor Defense
denounces the failing of these three
men as brazen attempt at provoca-
ton against the revolutionary work
ing class movement and the Commu-
mist Party and an act of brutal vio-
lence against these workers. The
lid has offered legal aid to the men
in jail.

In the 5abson's Reports Of April IS,

of a Japanese attack against the

In his report" Babson admits that
Japanese capitalism is in a bad way
and that the Japanese ruling class,
already engaged in a robber war
against China, are planning robber
war against the Soviet Union as
way out of the capitalist crisis, to
seize new markets and additional
raw material resources to bolster
their tottering economic position"
Babson further admits that Eng

test against the vicious Block Aid

ance to be paid by the bosses in
stead of forcing the brunt of the
crisis upon the workers who still
have jobs.
The Vets together with all workers
are satisfied that the Block Aid was
designed by Tammany Hall as a
means of registering workers to be
used in war industries, to discrimin-
ate against militant Negro and white
workers and to keep the workers
from organizing into the Unemploy-
ed Councils

are standing solid and have expressed
their determination to win, despite
the attempts of Anthony Merlino
vice-president of the BARRIERS Inter
national, to sell the workers out.
The union officials are stresing the
bosses demand to raise prices on hair
cuts and shaves, but the rank and
file are insistent that the demands
of the workers for the continuation
of the wage agreement is the chief
issue of the strike.
The BARRIERS and Hair Dressers
League, which has been active among
the strikers since the beginning of
the strike, is urgin gthe strikers to
unite in action under a rank and file

The BARRIERS League called to the
attention of the strikers the sellout
conducted by the International in the
BARRIERS strike two months ago In
this strike, the officials of the AFL
forced the strikers back to work I'M
der even worse conditions than be-
fore the strike. The BARRIERS League
points out that only through rank
and file control can the workers win
the strike and defeat all attempts
of the A. F. of L. officials to sell the
BARRIERS out.
The BARRIERS and Hairdressers
League proposes the following to the
strikers:
1. Election of large Rank and
File Strike Committee. This COM
mittee to be divided in sub-commit-
tees;
a. Law Committee.
b. Finance Committee to take care
for the income and expenses during
the period of the strike.
C. Picket Committee.
d. Publicity Committee.
2. That any conference and agree
ment with individual bosses or with
bosses association shall be conducted
by committee elected by the Cen
eral Rank and File Strike Committee.
8. To fight for the minimum wage
of S35 per week.
T. That the workers during the
strike shall be admitted in the union
on 50 initiation fee.
These are the fundamental basis
Of conducting a strike to a success.
Take the strike in your own hands.
With direct leadership of the strike
by the workers there will be no pos
sibility of a betrayal.
The BARRIERS League, the headquar-
tiers of which is at 1875 University
Place, calls on the strikers to send
a delegation to the office of the
League to take up the immediate
problems of the strike.
