DR.. Bdnting limited
To Help u. S. Labor

DR.. P. G. Banting, Canadian
scientist, who discovered insulin,
and who is now credited with a
means of preventing silicoSia, a
dread occupational disease. has
been invited by Secretary of Labor
Perkins, on his return from Lon
don, to come here for a discussion
of his method with labor leaders,
industrialists and public officials.
SilicoSis develops into tuber
culosis, and is caused by minute
particles of stone dust in the air
of quarries and stone-cutting and
glass works. Safety helmets are
already used, but Banting's plan,
it is understood, involves clearing
the air of these particles.

Judge Who Railroaded
Euel Lee Appointed to
Investigate Lynching

BALTIMORE, Md, Oct. 22.-Gov-
ernor Albert c. Ritchie indicated to-
day he would appoint Judge Robert
F. Duer, one of the main lynchers
of George Armwood, to head the in
vestigation'' into the lynching. He
declared Judge Duer is the proper
person to direct an investigation" of
the lynching last Wednesday at
Princess Anne ''if he will do it,"
Ritchies proposal has evoked op-
position even in the boss press, which
considers it too crude to deceive the
masses. The Baltimore Evening Sun
states in an editorial Not Judge
Duer:"
"a judge who sits quietly in his
home while the law is being
trampIed into the mud right out
side his door is obviously not the
Judge to investigate the occurrence,
since his own conduct is question
able"
1t was Judge Duer who helped to
railroad Fuel Lee to death SEN
tence, denying him his constitutional
right to a change of venue and the
right to choose his own attorney,
until mass protest organized by the
international Labor Defense COM
relied the removal.
Judge Duer is up for reelection.

THE murderouS subsection of whole people by
mperalist ruling class is embodied in the torture
and lynchng Of George Armwood, Negro, in the
Maryland Free State" The decision to lynch in

new atrocity.
Plain for all to see IN this horrible orgy is the
debauchery and degradation Of white people Of all
social categories by the vicious theory of white
supremacy" BY the act of the Iynching itself and
the obscene crueltes accompanying it, involving prac

We declare that President Roosevelt is directly

of the White House. Speaking the day following at
the hundred and fftieth anniversary Of Washing

ACTS AGAIN
IN STRIKE
LID. Organizer Given
Penitentiary
Sentence

GALLUP, New Mexico, Oct. a.
The second court martial against
strike leaders and their supporters
here resulted In the sentencing of
George Kaplan, International Labor
Defense district organizer to six
months in the penitentiary. Recently
Robert Roberts, National Miners
Union leader, was given similar
sentence.
Others are threatened with drum
head trials and long sentences un-
less an energetic nationwide protest
is forthcoming.
Six local strike leaders and Lynch,
defense attorney, were arrested on
the charge of illegal assemblage"
when investigating evictions of min
ers. They were released after two
days imprisonment on bread and
water diet for refusal to do forced
labor.
Herbert Benjamin, national or
ganizer of the Unemployed Council
who recently escaped from the mill
tary stockade was captured near
Arizona StdCe Line.
He is now threatened with a long
sentence from the military court.
The Allison mine has settled with
the strikers, granting nine of twelve
demands.
General Wood, militia head, Is en-
route to- Washington to obtain fed
eral funds to maintain the strike
breaking military, or to request fed
eraI troops.
Defense attorneys are demanding
the governor pardon Roberts and
Kaplan. Hundreds of eviction are
scheduled for this week, and tents
are needed.
After ten days virtual starvation
and brutal miStreatment in the mill
tary Stockade, Robert Roberts, coal
strike leader was removed from GAL
lup en- route to Santa F'e. He was
sentenced to the penitentiary for 6
months by special court martial.
Far from being terrorized at the
severity Of the sentences passed, the
strikers have answered with stronger
picket lines, and stronger determine
ton to win the strike. South West
ern is already working under full
agreement of the demands presented
by the strikers. Authentic production
figures procured by various means
prove that the companies are unable
to produce more than 1-3 of the
amount of coal produced previous to
the strike.
Funds for appeals, ETC., are abso-
lutely essential. The relief situa-
ton becomes more tense daily. This
is the 8th week Of the strike. Local
resources are exhausted. 1t is a
matter of how long the miners can
hold out which will decide whether
they can achieve victory or defeat.
