The four western National clubs,

on their first march into the east,
although in the past fortnight they
had won on their home grounds 81
of is contests from eastern invad-
ers. Pittsburgh and Cincinnati
lost yesterday.
Pittsburgh's defeat cost the Pr

are replaced by the Cubs, who
crushed the Phillies, 10 to 3.

CLEO Seals a bad trouncing, 1872.
Young Joe Sullivan scattered the
Seals five hits and shut them out
until the eighth. The Stars collect

men.
A ninth inning rally gave Oakland
a 80 win over Portland, Erwin
Brame, Beavers moundSman, had a

Third Jury Panel Called
on Seventh Day of
Syndicalism Trial
Especial to the Daily workerl

SACRAMENTO, Calf, Dec. g.
The women among the Is working
class leaders now on trial on
charges of criminal syndicalism are
kept in unheated cells in prison,
while the heat in the mems quar-
tiers is turned off at an early hour,
and all of the defendants are de-
MED sufficient food, and have been
maltreated at times.
This revelation of the fascist
methods used by the California
authorities against political prison
ers was made in open court yester-
day by Leo Gallagher, International
Labor Defense attorney, who vigor-
ously denounced the attempt to I'M
dermine the health of the de-
PENDANTS.
The selection of a jury was no
nearer completion at the end of the
seventh day of the trial. The sec
ond special jury panel was ex-
hausted by the challenges of both
the defense and the prosecution,
and new panel has been called.
Defense questions to prospective
jurors on their attitude toward
Communism were objected to by
District Attorney Neil McAllister,
who at the same time challenged
all workers and suspected sympa-
thizers with the working class.
Local workers are rallying behind
the I. L. D. campaign for the re-
lease of the defendants and the re-
peal of the anti-working class GRIM
inal Syndicalism law. The I. L. D.
yesterday appealed to all workers
and their organizations throughout
the country to rush protest resolu-
lions and kilograms to Judge Dial
M. Lennon, presiding at the trial,
and Governor Frank Merriam of
California.

Every working class organization

Action on Railroads

MADRID, Dec. 6.--An Andalusian
railway company discharged 400
workers because they had struck
work during the October fighting.
When this became known, strike
committee at once formed in Sevilla.
and threatened the railway COM
pany that the whole of the rail-
swaymen would strike work at once
jf the discharge of the 200 workers
was not withdrawn. The unanimous
determination of the workers was
so great that the company found
Itself obliged to reinstate the whole
of the men.
1t will be remembered that the
-railwaymen have been placed I'M
der military control in consequence
of their activities during the armed
struggle. AS outward sign of this
they are obliged to wear a small
badge in their buttonholes, even
when not on duty. One worker laid
aside the badge when leaving work;
he was arrested at once and taken
before summary court, which SEN
fenced him to the frightful penalty
of two years Imprisonment. His fell
low workers were aroused to such
indignation that when the man was
to be taken away, the whole of the
workers struck work, and made q
protest so effective that the SEN
fenced worker was released on the
spot.
In Madrid 1870 railwaymen were
discharged for taking part in the
strike. The Unitary Syndicate del
Norte at once modified the rail-
waymen, and organized a meeting.
The railwaymen marched in process
sion to the management and de-
manded the withdrawal of the dis
missals. One hundred and sixty of
the men were reinstated.
In Madrid the railway company
del Norte attempted to force its
employees to give voluntary con-
tributions" to the fund initiated BY
the government in support of its
apparatus Of repression (guardia
civil. guardia de asalto, etc. The
Unitary Syndicate distributed a
ieaflet among the workers, calling
upon them to refuse to give a cent
for the murderers of their brothers.
The attempt was made TO carry out
the collection-ap the railwaymen
refused.

ROyalist Press
Reveals Alarm
On Situation
Communist Mayor and
Socialist Councilman
Are Arrested

MADRID, Dec. 6.-Although the
government in Asturias is exercising
the cruelest terrorism, it finds itself
unable to gain the upper hand.
The government has now been
obliged to admit that in the mining
district of Mieres, the most impor-
tant coal center of Spain, only 500
Yeapons-useleSs rifles and pistols
have been collected.
Government representatives re-
turning from ASturias report that
the feeling among the workers there
is increasingly rebellious every day,
and that the workers do not conceal
their hopes of a future victory. The
monarchist-fasciSt press, frightfully
alarmed, demands that the mines
should not be set in operation again,
and that the workers of Asturias,
whose revolutionary viewpoint is in
-Corrigible, should be deported and
exterminsted, whilst other workers
with proper anti-Marxist training
should replace them. 1t would be
better to import iron and coal from
abroad than to employ insurgent
workers with no love for their
fatherland,' the fascist papers say.
The Mayor of Turon has issued
an appeal calling upon all posses
sors of arms to deposit these in the
cemetery or in front Of the church
door, where no sentries stand. He
promises that all who accede to this
demand will go unpublished. Since
threats have taken no effect, the
authorities are now resorting to this
method in an attempt to gain pos
session Of the arms.
In Asturias the Communist Mayor
of Babiana and Social-Democratic
member Of the town council of
Oviedo have been arrested on the
charge of being leaders in the revo-
7iutionary movement.
The town council of Oviedo has
decided to make an inquiry with
regard to all municipal employees,
in order to discover who took part
in the uprising. A report from San
Sebastian states that the town
council Of that place-the last of
the election of April 14-has been
discharged. There are $50 political
prisoners in San Sebastian.

Tool Makers
Win Against
Pay-CutMove
Chicago Metal Workers
Take Situation in
Own Hands

CHICAGO, Dec. 6.-With the
opening Of the seasonal pickup, the
owners of the Grunow Household
Utilities, manufacturers of radios
and refrigerstors, cut the wages of
the tool and die makers 8 cents an
hour and those Of the production
workers as much as Is cents an
hour.
This action met with resistance
on the part of the workers. Many
of the tool makers, members Of
Local 113, International Association
of MachinistS, A. F. Of L., were dis
satisfied with the failure Of the
local officials to do anything to
counterfeit the introduced wage cut,
quit the organization and joined
Local 23 of the Mechanics Educa-
tional Society, independent. After
several meetings decision to strike
was adopted.
Preparing for a wide publicity
campaign, Matthew Smith, national
secretary of the M. 2. s. A., who
was called in from Detroit, and Mr..
johnson, secretary of Local %, sent
telegram to Mr.. Grunow, notify
ing him three days in advance
about the strike.
Workers DiSpIeased
Displeased with this procedure,
the workers took matters into their
own hands. They called meeting,
elected a joint committee of work.
ers from both tool rooms George
st. and Schubert ST. and both
unions Qocals % and 113) and sent
them to the employers to demand
minimum of IS cents an hour for
all workers in the tool rooms. If
this demand was not granted there
was going to be a strike, they in
formed the owners. The company
was forced to grant the demand.
Mistakes Pointed Out
While the workers considered the
result of their action a victory and
proof that the rank and file can
and will carry on the fight, they
pointed to the following mistakes
made by them in the situation:
ID No recognition of the joint tool
room committee was obtained:
% No production workers were
drawn in this struggle.
The workers claimed that Mr..
Grunow granted this demand with
the aim to take it out of the pro-
duction workers, whose wages were
cut is cents an hour (from so cents
to As cents.
Immediate steps to organize the
production workers have been de-
cided on by them in order to defeat
the wage-cut in the production de-
partments, to build union of their
choice in every department and to
prepare for strike of all workers
for the recognition of the union.
