1000 Dye Strikers
Cheer T.U.U.L. Talks

Two thousand cleaners and dyerS,
who have been striking for over four
weeks, gathered yesterday afternoon
at Germania Hall under the leader
ship of the Independent Cleaners and
Dyers' Union, affiliated with the T.
U. U. L., and cheered speaker after
speaker who called for the continu-
ance of the strike until all the de-
mands of the strikers are met, and
to smash the strikebreaking attempts
of the A. F. of L., led by the labor
n1isleaders, Effrat and Weintraub.
Davidson, of the I. U. c. D., who
was expelled last week from the
Cleaners & Dyers' Drivers Union,
an A. F. of L. controlled union, be-
cause of his militant activity in try
ing to win the demands for the strik-
ers, clearly exposed the roles Of En-
frat and Weintraub in trying to
break the strike by asking the work
ers to return to their shops before
their demands are won.

Who succeeded in visiting the boys
Steps were Immediately taken
William L. Patterson, national Sec
rotary Of the LID, said, to force the
warden of Jefferson County Jail, tc
release Patterson from solitary con-
f1nement, to stop the robbery of COM
forts sent the boys, and to supply
them with adequate medical treat
ment.
A lawyer is being sent to Birming
ham from New York Immediately, to
investigate and to take legal steps
to back up these mass demands.
A wire raising them has also been
sent to the warden.
This is evidently an attempt on
the part of the Alabama lynchers
to kill the boys in JAIL" Patterson
said, "to prevent them from re-
gaining the freedom for which the
masses of the world have fought,
and which is now, on the basis of
Judge Horizons decision, legally
theirs"
letter was received from Ned Good
win, Negro worker who is also held
in Birmingham jail, in connection
with the attack of police upon the
May Day meeting there, in which he
reports that he is constantly beaten,
kicked, and maltreated by prison
guards.
Goodwin is SO i'll from the beatings
that he was scarcely able to write
the letter.
He also is robbed of the comforts
sent to him by workers from outside,
and besides is allowed to receive no
visitors.
The I. L. D. called on all workers
throughout the country, on all T. L.

on every working class organization
and sympathetic individual, to flood
the warden of jefferson County Jail,

3 Boys Sentenced
to Die on Crude
Murder Frame-Up
Beet Workers Tricked
Into Signing Con
LESSONS"
DENVER. Col.

DEN NEtI, COL, Death
sentences against three Spanish
speaking boys of Brighton, Col,
framed on murder charges, were af-
firmed by the State Supreme Court
today, and November Is set as the
day when the state will hang them.
The three boys are Candelario
MONTANA, 10; Joe Saiz, 10, and Roy
Vigil, 10. Their frame-up rose directly
out of the struggles of the Spanish
speaking workers of Colorado in the
beet-fields, and is part of the terror
offensive launched against them by
the bosses.
The International Labor Defense,
waging mass and legal campaign to
save them, proved that the three
were tricked into signing "confes-
sions" to the murder OF George Ar
mold, T2-year-old farmer, a year ago
last September 10, by being told that
the papers put before them were
routine documents" required from
all prisoners.
The court records show that Oscar
Arnold, son Of the murdered man.
and leader in the frame-up process
came back to the farm from Denver
the day his fathers murder was dis
covered, told the three boys that
something had happened" in the
house before-he claimed-he entered
it, and persuaded them to go in be-
fore him in order to establish the
frame-up through fingerprints. This
was done so crudely it failed CON-
pletely to show any evidence Of guilt
on the records, but the jury, picked
from among the most reactionary
landlords of the county, found the
boys guilty anyway.
The LID. is holding hundreds Of
protest meetings against the refusal
Of the Supreme Court to reverse the
sentence, and has called on workers
throughout the country to protest this
vicious frame-up and demand the i'm
mediate release of the Brighton boys

TanlmanyBOSsTrieS
To Prevent Meeting
OF Marine Workers

NEW YORK, Oct. .-Josep h P.
Ryan is apparently dictator to the
Public School system of the City of
New York, and threat of violence
from Joseph P. Ryan is law-abiding
trick, to Judge from the latest devel-
opment in Mr.. Shea's Tammany rid
den jurisdiction.
The Marine Workers Industrial
Union had applied for and received
permission to hold a meeting on the
NRA in public school in the Red
Hook section of Brooklyn. The
School system took a six dollar pay
ment for janitor and other services
in connection with the building.
Today the school authorities called
up the union and informed them that
the International Longshorenen's As
ISOLATION, of which Joseph P. Ryan is
president and big boss, had warned
them that the lila, would wreck
the place and the meeting if it were
held.
Ryan is a big shot in Tammany
Hall, so his warning was sufficient
for the school board to cancel the
meeting.
The M.WI.U. asked the woman
who called up if Ryan was running
the School Board, and she evaded
the question by saying they didn't
want riots.
Asked who would cause the riot,
she left it understood that the LILA.
had made the threat.
The M.WT.U. intends to hold a
meeting in front of the school at
the hour when the inside meeting
was scheduled, and if Ryan's gang
sterS start trouble, there will be
plenty of it. Ryan may run the
school system of New York, under
Tammany, but he doesn't run the
waterfront as completely as he wants
to. And his grip on the longshore-
men is getting less, in spite of police
cooperation With his thugs and gun
men.
A worker distributing leaflets for
this meeting was grabbed by a gang
in touring car, and the leaflets
taken away from him. 1t was a car
used by LILA. officials in Brooklyn.

Barbusse in Talk
With Daily Outlines
Anti War Tasks

What is the task of the American
worker today, in the day-to-day
struggle against WARP" Daily
Worker reporter yesterday asked
Henri Barbusse
In closing the historic United States
Congress Against War, the final words
of the famous French writer and
fighter against war had been:
Now your work begins"
The Daily Worker reporter there
fore asked Barbusse for a message
to American workers on carrying on
that work.
"The will to unite against war
which was manifested in this impos-
ing conference was magnificent" he
answered. And it is the experience
of what was possible at this Congress
which shows the way to carry for
ward its work.
Task Rests on Vanguard
"The task of carrying on its work
rests on the whole advance guard of
the working class, on those men and
women who represent the aspirations
of the workers. To me, of course, this
means first of all the Communist
Party.
"But we have seen that among the
masses of non-party workers, and
among those who still follow the lead
ership of the Socialist Party, there
is a deep and real Socialist spirit. 1t
is the task Of all fighters against war
to open the eyes of these great
masses of serious and sincere workers
to the misleadership of the reformist
trade union and Socialist Party lead
ers.
I'VE must make them see through
the theories of compromise, of con-
cesions to the capitalist class, of re-
formism that are used to break the
revolutionary will of the masses.

year which will be illuminating to
those workers of real socialist spirit
who still follow the Socialist Party
leadership.

ing for united action with the Third
International. knew Emile Wander
velde, Fritz Adler, Otto Bauer, as we'll
as the leaders Of the Communist In
ternational, and took the initiative
of communicating with the Socialist
Party leaders.
Il wrote to them, saying that I in
terpreted their manifesto as a deci-
sion to stop their boycoutt of the
Amsterdam Congress Against War,
and I offered my services as inter-
mediary if they wished to discuss a
united front with the Third Interna-
tional.
"All the Socialists made excuses,
and evaded the question. Wander
velde wrote that he was sick. and
had to go to Morocco for his health
in reality he went to receive a dec
grafton from the Sultan of Morocco.
Finally, Fritz Adler was delegated to
write to me-but he never did.
Must Open Eyes of Masses
I'VE must let the masses know
about these events, so contrary to the
spirit of socialism. We must show
the sincere socialists that we really
wish to make genuine union against
war-and that our advances meet
only with hostility on the part of the
Socialist leaders.
