"AU Quiet~ Says the
Ciuil Liberties Union
BY SENDER GARLIN.

HINDER the heading, "A Few Cleans
y of Light" the New Republic in
its current issue comments with
gentle satisfaction on the announce
ment by the American Civil Liberties
Union that for the first time in years
no che in any state or colony is sery-
ing a sentence under the criminal
syndicalism or sedition laws"
Ever on the alert for fugitive rays
of sunshine, the irrepresrlbly optim-
istic Civil Liberties Union had report
ed that since the advent of the
Roosevelt administration there had
been definite tendency toward po-
litical and economic tolerance"
Few Exceptions
Tie only bit Of uglinezs which e&-
lists to spoil the lovely pastoral scene
painted by the Civil Liberties Union
are the "syndicalism cases Of strik-
ing miners in Ohio and Illinois, and
in Michigan and Iowa, where the en-
battlsd farmers, fighting foreclosure
Gales, have besn the victims of anti
Red legislation
Let us examine the unique method
used by the Civil Liberties Union to
arrive at its cheerful conclusion about
the absence of capitalist terror in the
u s.
1t lists as civil liberties cases APP
parently, only some instances where
workers have been Jailed on criminal
syndicalism or sedition charges, but
ignores the scores of other cases OF
workers imprisoned or out on bail I'M
der other cnarges-b1t nevertheless
as a consequence of their activities
in the class struggle.
THE Civil Liberties Union ignores
for example:
Angelo HerRdon. 20-year-old Negro
organizer of the Atlanta Unemployed
Council. Herndon has already served
six months in the Fulton Towers
Prison in Atlanta and faces 1920
years ON the Georgia chain gang. The
Southern lynch courts saw fit to
charge him with instruction, based
on ain old slave eooe enacted in 1861.
Hence Hernoon is not civil liberties
case.
The TalIapoosa Cass-Five Negro
shareccoppers of Alabama now IN
prison, having been sentenced to
terms up to IL years, following a mur-
derous attack upon them and other
members of the Shsrecroppers Union
who helped defend from seizure a
mule belonging to Cliff James, one
of their leaders.
The charge against the sharecrop-
pers was assault with intent to kill"
although their only crime was fight
ing starvation by organizing Share
troopers Union. Hence this is not a
civil liberties case,
Samuel GonshaS, leader of the
Downtown New York Unemployed
Council, Just sentenced to an inde-
terminate term, up to two years. Con
shak is framed on a charge Of dis
orderly conduct" (for which the usual
term is 80 days.. Hence Gonshak,
according to the CL.U., is not civil
liberties case.
CCORES OF other cases involving
y similar prosecutions are found
throughout the United States. Here
are only few recent arrests, cited at
random:

oped in the shops as a result Of the
May First preparations, throughout
the country there was very little con-
centration on the factories and little
work conducted to win workers from
the shops to participate in May First.
Only a limited number of shop pa
pers, shop leaflets were issued thru
out the country and with the prob
able exception of few cities, shop
gate meetings were not held TO ac-
quaint the workers with May First,
The old habit OF issuing leaflet and
assuming that the workers in the
shop would come out for May First
still persisted.
This also reflects a certain wrong
conception Of the united front, that
the united front is more or less linz
tied to joint actions by various organ
izations. Detailed attention to the
development of unity below among
the workers especially in the factory,
among the unemployed, around i'm
mediate demands was not seen as the
central task in the united front ac-
tivitieS. The welding of a powerful
united front OF the American work
ers will not be accomplished through
negotiations with the leadership-it
will only be achieved, strengthened
and solidified in the daily struggles
Of the workers ..
Recruiting Still Lays Behind
Due to this conception of the united
front the bringing forward and build
ing of the Party in the May First
preparations ana actions was often
hampered by the opposition Of the
reformist leaders, and the fear OF Of
tending these bodies, on the part of

One Sure Way to
End Coughs and Colds

Persistent coughs and colds lead
to serious trouble. You can stop
them now with Creomulsion, an
emuIsified creosote that is pleas
ant to take. Creomulsion is new
medical discovery with two-fold
action; it soothes and heals the
inflamed membranes and inhibits
germ growth.
Of all known drugs, creosote is
recognized by high medical au-
thorities as one of the greatest
healing agencies for persistent
coughs and colds and other forms
of throat troubles. Circumcision
contains, in addition to creosote,
other healing elements which
soothe and heal the infected mem
branes and stop the irritation and
inflammation, while the creosote
goes on to the stomach, is absorb
ed into the blood, and attacks the
seat of the trouble.
Creomulsion is guaranteed sat
isfactory in the treatment of per-
sistent coughs and colds, bronchial
asthma, bronchitis, and is excel
lent for building up the system
after colds or flu. Your own drug
gist is authorized to refund your
money on the spot if your cough
or cold is not relieved by Greco
mulsion. (adv.)
