forced the shutting down of the
Fletcher Cotton Mill shortly after
Statewide walk-out of textile
workers.
In great masses the workers adj

reply to demands of the Duquesne
Lodge of the Amalgamated Associ-
alton of Iron, Steel and Tin Work

They refused to reveal the nature

were being lured into trap from
which there is no escape except
through chaos and disaster. But
their eyes are now open. The truth
about this strike has been proved
to them by Communist Browder
himself.
They can do nothing now but
lead their workers out of this trap
and back to civilization once more,
back in a truly logical path of q
better life.
Reprinted from New York Daily
Worker, Communist organ in the
East.
"'For victory in the genera strike.
1.-THE general strike is on in San
Francisco.
Overwhelming the workers in
San Francisco have rejected every
effort of the small group of de-
crepit misleaders who fought to
stave off the general strike in sup
port of the Marine and Dock
Workers.
In every port of the United
States the Communists are urged
to take the lead in the most ener-
getic campaign to extend the dock
and seamen's strike to cover the
whole country.
Now is the time for the East,
South and Gulf ports to join their
brothers and win for themselves
recognition and better conditions.
Never in the history of the
country has there been a more
favorable opportunity for all ma
rine workers to walk out and win
what for many years they have
been striving for.
Every ounce of energy, every
step should be taken to spread the
marine strike to every part of the
country. +. :"
1t will be noted from the above
example of the method by which
the strikebreaking campaign is
being conducted that it implies that
the workers have no grievances and
no demands, but that the whole
cause of the trouble lies with Com
munist agitators.
In view of this, it is necessary more
than ever for the Daily Worker and
the whole labor press to emphasize
the economic demands of the long
shoremen and all the marine trades
1t is certainly clear from the quoted
editorial and all the immense
amount of similar but less plain
spoken material that the striking
workers will be defeated only by
isolating the Communists Temporal
lily. The goal of the whole cam
paign is to make it either extremely
difficult or even impossible for the
Communists to function until the
strike has been broken.

BUDAPEST, July 17.-Demanding
the right to defend Matias Rakosi.
Hungarian Communist leader. David
LeVinsor, Temple College, Philadel-
phia, law instructor, today contin-
ued his work of preparing plans for
the defense.
Levinson, who was member of
the Sacco-Vanzetti Defense Com
nlittee and the Tom Mooney Com
mittee, was refused permission to
defend the Bulgarian Communist,
Dimitroff, at the Reichstas fire
trial, rebuffs which did not deter
him from pressing for the same
right in the Rakosi case.
Rakosi, having served S19 years
following his return to Hungary in
1925, was kept imprisoned when his
term expired, and now faces vague
charges connected with his activi-
ties as Peoples Commissar during
the period of the Hungarian Soviet
Republic in 1919

termined strikers and workers in
sympathy with the strike. They
jeered and booed the guardsmen.
The public statement Of Olsen,
Farmer Laborite governor, follows:
THE important question now is
the preservation Of law and order.
Troops are in readiness for that
purpose. I propose to use every
resource at my command to pro-
tect the citizens of Minneapolis.
All farmers must be permitted to
sell their products in Minneapolis,
The Minnesota Department of
Agriculture will assist them in
such marketing, and whatever
physical protection is NEEDED will
be furnished them. I will not
take sides in the strike nor will
1 hesitate to discipline either or
both conflicting groups if circum-
stances require. Conciliatory eff
forts will be continued and I hope
the employers and employees will
arrive at fair and early settle
ment of their disputes"
This speech already indicated
Olsen's strikebreaking intentions
His statement is identical with the
statement of Police Chief Michael
Johannes, we'll known for his ter
ror against Minneapolis workers
who also declared that police are
impartial in strikes.

HERNDON
Must Be
S A Y E. d!
. By JACK STACHEL -
Assistant National Secretary,
Trade Union Unity League

lHdut DnAUn NAil9 bCaS NC
UNLESS $4,000 bail is
y raised before August 3,
Angelo Herndon, heroic young
Negro organizer of Atlanta
unemployed workers, will be
sent to a horrible death on
the chain gangs.
Organized labor cannot and will
not permit this hideous crime
against the working class and the
Negro people. The fight to rescue
Herndon is a fight to repel growing
fascism in this country. 1t is part
and parcel Of the giant strike and
unemployed struggles now sweeping
the country, as Negro and white
workers rally against the bloody
attacks under the New DEAL and
the NR.A. on their rights to or
ganize in unions of their own
choice, to fight against wage cuts
and rising living costs, against crop
destruction and impoverishmens of
the farmers, and for the right to
strike for their demands.
A defeat for the mass fight to
free Herndon will be victory fcC
the growing fascist reaction and
will be followed by new savage on
slaughts on the workers in Georgia
and throughout the country. Al
ready in Georgia, the affirmation by
the State Supreme Court of the
chain gang sentence against Hern-
don is being used as the spear-he
for new violations of the rights Of
the workers, abrogation of free
speech and assembly, resumption Of
the drive to burn in the electric
chair the Atlanta Six-Negro and
white labor organizers, among
whom are Ann Burlak, national
secretary of the National Textile
Workers Union, and the Negro
leader, Herbert Newton.
l earnestly appeal to all trade
unionists, to all the revolutionary
unions, to all the rank and file
of the A. F. of L. and the indie
pendent unions, to all Sympathiz-
ers with the working class to rush
loans of cash or Liberty bonds
Immediately to the International
Labor Defense, 80 East 18th St.,
New York City. The LID. guar
sntees the return Of all funds
and Liberty BOMBS loaned for the
Herndon bail. There can be no
delay. Raise tie question in your
unions, and also make individual
loans wherever possible.
NEW YORK.-With SIPS cash
and pledge to raise $500 within
two weeks, the Cleveland district
of the International Labor De-
Tense is the first to respond to the
urgent call for $4,000 in loans
of cash and Liberty bonds to pre-
vent Angelo Herndon being sent
to the chain gang. Unless bail
Of $4,000 is put up before Aug.
3, Herndcn will be rushed to the
chain gang and certain death by
the Georgia ruling class lynchers.
What are the other LID. dis
tricts, the unions, the mass or
CARNATIONS doing?
Where are Chicago, Boston,
Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, the
Coast districts, and the others?
The LID. is issuing certificates
guaranteeing the return of loans
of cash and Liberty bonds for
the Herndon bail.
What will be the figure on your
certificate? What will be your
record in the fight to save Hern-
don from the chain gang?

Especial to the DAILY worker

CLEVELAND, Ohio, July 10
Nearly four Thousand Negro and
white workers fled in to view the
bodies Of Salvatore AREN'T and
Winnie Williams, murdered unem-
ployed workers, as they lay in state
at the Unemployment Council
center, 1881 Central Ave, Sunday.
Pennies, nickels and dimes flowed
in for the mass funeral, to be held
Wednesday, July 18th, at IL o'clock
noon. Meanwhile scores of street
meetings we're held all day Satur-
day and Sunday in protest against
the police massacre on bloody
Friday.
Discover" Record Against Victim
In the face of increasing resent
ment against the police massacre on
Friday, today's newspapers have
discovered" a mysterious holdup
record for AREN'T. The Republican
machine produced two witnesses
who identified AREN'T as one of a
trio of men who held up the beer
parlor of Ulysses Vozzay alias Dan
Ricei, last December 10Th, and shot
Ricci.
The necessity of inventing some
sort of criminal record for this muir
dered unemployed worker shows
that the efforts of the city admin
istration to whitewash the police
and blame dead AREN'T for the
shooting Of Mrs. williams have not
convinced the enraged workers of
Cleveland. All eyewitnesses testify
that AREN'T was killed before Mrs.
Williams was shot.
