The local government Of the Pa
cific Gas and Electric Co. which
put Mooney and Billings In Jail.
The local government of Henry
Ford which murdered four unem-
pIoyed demonstrators at Dearborn.
The local government Of Tam
many which murdered Steve Ka-
tovis in the Bronx in 1880. And 50
on through the whole country!
The local governments, their
courts, sheriffs, police and the whole
apparatus of terrorization and sup
preston are-broadly speahng-tied
to the national government by
thousand threads. The local banks,
mills and shops are interviewer with
the big financial interests which rule
the nation through their political
parties.
AS a liberal with pretensions to
radicalism, Mr.. Baldwin Shout d
know these elementary facts.
Riled by New Republic
The director of the American Civil
Liberties Union is as much irked by
the New Republic editorial as by the
Daily Worker article-And for diff
ferent reasons. What annoys Mr..
Baldwin apparently, is that the New
Republic in drawing its conclusions
from the glowing report Of the A.C.
L.U., naively expressed its full po-
litical meaning, namely, complete
whitewash and clean bill Of health
for the Roosevelt government.
THERE is no let-up," writes Mr..
L Baldwin, ''in the work done in
cooperation with the International
Labor Defense and other defense
bodies, nor Independently"
We are confident that the Inter
national Labor Defense welcomes
such cooperation and united front
actions. If such struggles are to be
really effective, however, they must
be carried on with the full recogni-
ton that the federal, state as well
as local governments are increasing
their attacks against the working class
Of this country. ANY other attitude
only creates false optimism which
leads to inaction and defeat.

Other deportation cases are re-
ported daily from numerous cities
throughout the o. S., including De-
troit, Cleveland, Chicago, San Fran
cisco, etc.
All this has occurred since RoOse-
welt took office. Does this show
that "the attitude of federal and
state governments has markedly
improved?
We do not at this time desire to
repeat the many cases cited in the
original article, but only to empha-
size some of the most striking ex-
amples Of persecution by both state
and federal governments.
WHAT must not be lost sight Of, In
W cidentally, is Mr.. Baldwin's &C
ceptance of the distinction between
the state and federal governments on
the one hand and the local authori-
ties on the other. Let us see:

that "the attitude Of federal aud
state governments has markedly
improved?
In his letter to the Daily Worker
Baldwin says; "We specifically stat
ed that the attitude Of the local au-
thorities-police, sheriffs, prosecutors
had not improved, and that the
chief attacks upon the rights of
propaganda came from them" Again,
What we were talking about was not
the amount of suppression, but its
sources and character"
Certainly MIR. Baldwin will not
say that local officials have the
authority to call out the national
guard and declare martial law.
NOW as to attitude of the federal
~ government whose attitude the
A. G. L. U. feels has shown such
marked improvement"
The deportation drive against mill
liant workers has not only not
slackened since the advent of the
Roosevelt government. but hes ac-
tually heightened. Sixteen marine

Baldwin Confirms Daily Worker Analysis
Of A,C.L.U, Report in ''Letter of Protest
BY SENDER GARLIN

TAKING exception to the article,
1 All Quiet! Says the Civil Lfber-
ties Union" which appeared in the
Daily Worker on May 81, Roger
Baldwin, the secretary of the or
ganization, has sent us letter
which is published in full in an adj
joining column.
Baldwin's letter and his re-itera-
ton and emphasis of the general
position Of the Civil Liberties Union
on the persecution Of militants is a
complete vindication of the article
in the DAILY"
In his letter of criticism Baldwin
says:
THE one encouraging point Of our
summary of the last year in the field
Of civil liberty was that the attitude
of federal and state governments has
markedly improved, as shown by the
actual record Of cases and OF bills in
Congress and state legislatures" This
is re-wording Of the original A.C.
L.U. press release. These and other
statements, incidentally, were quoted
from the Civil Liberties Union re-
lease, and not taken secondhand
from the New Republic editorial, as
Baldwin asserts.
baldwin underlines federal and
u state governments" in order to
draw a distinction between their at
titude and the attitude of local au-
thorities.
Even ignoring, for the moment, this
hairsplitting distinction, let us ex-
anime how tenable is the position OF
the American Civil Liberties Union.
"The attitude of the state govern
ments has improved says the A.C.
L.U. How then explain the calling
out Of the National Guard against
the farmers in Iowa and Wisconsin,
against the textile strikers in New
Hampshire. granite strikers in Yer
mont, coal miners in Illinois, in ad-
dition to the use of state troopers
against the dairy farmers of New
YORK state recently.
Marked improvement"
So brutal, in fact, were the at
tacks on the Vermont granite strik-
ers in Barre, that rank-and- file
members of the American Legion
adopted resolution denouncing the
acts of the militia.
In Illinois, where the bosses boast
Of a "liberal-minded' governor,
troops were recently called out
against striking miners in the south
ern coal fields. In Illinois, too, the
legislature has appointed a commit
tee to investigate Red" activities for
the purpose of enacting repressive
laws.
In Iowa the customary ''constitu-
tional" forms were ruthless1y dis
pensed with, civil courts were sus-
pended, courts martial we're estab-
lished to try Jailed farmers, and GER
tain areas were put under martial
law.
This has occurred since Roose-
welt took office. Does this show

OUR Furniture Buyer warned us that we had
" no right in running furniture sale under
any consideration righ now.
1t seeme6s foolish, in his estimation, to sell out
our present stocks of merchandise, which we're
bought at the low prices which prevailed last
Spring and Summer, when it meant that we
would have to replace them in the Fall with
identical merchandise which has already in
creased in price at wholesale $50, $50,
$50 and even 500.
However, it is hard to change an old established
custom and SO many of our customers wait for
this half-yearly event that we, frankly, didn't
have the heart to disappoint them.
This kind of sale couldn't last forever any
more than the merchandise or the prices can

last forever. So tomorrow, we must call this
sale to halt
This does not mean that every piece of fur
niture in stocks is going to be marked up
to higher prices ON Tuesday, but it does mean
that most of the merchandise we have been
featuring during this Half Yearly Sale at way
below current replacement prices, will un-
doubtedly be sold out by tomorrow night
We can only give you the same advice we are
giving our own intimate family. Don't buy what
you don't need, but if you have been putting
off getting a chair, rug, suite of furni-
ture or redoing your windows, you can save
lots of money if you do it now rather than
later and don't forget our budget plan of
payments makes dollar 60 long, long way.
