Farmers Face
Banker-COurt
In Riot Trial
Fran e d for Activities
in Smashing Recent
Foreclosure Sales
BY BILL ANDREWS
Especial to the Daily Worker)

SISSETON, S. D., June II. =
Seventeen militant farmers faced a
bankers court here yesterday on
charges of rioting, growing out of
their activities in smashing recent
foreclosure sales. The court room
was packed, and crowds were con-
stantly increasing as farmers and
workers modified in support of
their comrades who are being VIC
timized for their militant activities
in this region.
The mass pressure and able legal
defense Of Henry PAUL, Interna-
tional Labor Defense lawyer from
Duluth, forced certain concessions
from Judge F1eeger during the first
days session. Changes in the in
formation, making it different from
the original complain, we're exposed
by the attorney. Two indictments
we're quashed, but the Judge refused
to quash the fake charge of rioting,
The defendants we're confident
that the massing of farmers would
force the court to release them.
A motion for a separate trial
for the defendants was refused on
account of expense, in spite Of the
statement of PAUL that "the
homes of South Dakota farmers
are at stake and this is more
important than a couple of hun
dred dollars court expense"
In spite of sweeping injunction
forbidding the distribution of the
Daily Worker, The Farmers Ma
tionaI Weekly, and other militant
literature, copies of the Weekly were
openly sold in the court house dur
ing the trial.

MEN FOR STRIKE
NJ a yOr of Pittsburgh
Forbids Picketing
BY CARL REEVE
Especial to the Daily Worker)

PITTSBURGH, Pa, June
12.-On the eve of the A. A.
Convention, Mike Tighe is
sued a statement which UNI
der the cover of demagogi-
cally rejecting" the ] Johnson
agreement, in reality lays
the basis for betrayal of the strike.
Tighe said: I'VE are asking only
one thing, recognition. We want
only to negotiate with the employ
ers for those men who belong to
our lodges" Thus Tighe drops all
the demands of the en-point
program for one demand, recogni-
ton.
The general comment Of the press
here is that Tighe leaves the way
open for compromise, since Tighe
told the press that Thursdays con-
vention can reconsider the holiday"
if the convention decides sit can
secure recognition by some other
method" Tighe will not say whether
the holiday would be "reconsidercd'
or not. He covered this with the
statement: Il am going right down
the line with the holiday resolution.
and I am entirely in consonance
with It.
Locking for Way Out
Earl J. Forbeck of the Committee
of Ten was quoted in today's press
as stating there are three ways the
nationwide steel strike may be
avoided ID by an election for em-
ployees representatives under gov
eminent supervision; % by pass

by conferences supervised by Presi.
dent Roosevelt between union lead
ers and companies.
Over 200 delegates from "a A. A,
lodges of this district, at a meeting
at West Homestead voted unani-
mously to carry out the provisions
Of the seven-point program, which
calls for strike now that the demand
for recognition was rejected.
The Jones and Laughlin company
union met last night to take a
forced strike vote. Company unions
throughout the field are feverishly
active trying to prevent the strike.

NEW YORK. - Clarence
barrow, noted liberal lawyer,
added his voice against the
Imprisonment of Ernst Thael-
mann, leader of the German
Communist Party when, to-
gether with other prominent
liberals, he signed letter of pro-
test to Hans Luther, Nazi ambassa-
dor in Washington.
The letter was sent by the In
ternational Committee for Political
Prisoners and was also signed by
Roger Baldwin, Rev. John Haynes
Holmes, Robert MorSs Lovett and
Charles Edward Russell. The letter
protested against the treatment of
two internationally known political
prisoners, Ernst Thaelmann and
Ernst Torgler. leaders of the Ger
man Communist Party"
In the case Of Thaelmann I'VE are
reliably informed that he has not
been accorded the ordinary rights
of a defendant in the choosing of
counsel or in communicating with
his witnesses and defenders" the
letter says. Particularly do we
protest against his proposed trial
under an ex post facto law, con-
trary to the practice in all civilized
countries.
Protest TOrgler Imprisonment
I'm the case of Ernst Torgler, &C
quilted in the Reichstag fire trial,
we enter our earnest protest against
his continued Imprisonment with
out trial and without charges.
I'VE add our voices to those of
many others throughout the world.
