Hail N. r. A.

WASHINGTON, D. Give feel that
the NRA is a distinct step forward and
must be regarded in all candOr and honesty
as an important branch of social legisla-
tion," attorney Louis Waldman, prominent
Socialist leader, said at the recent hearings
on the NRA before General Johnson.
Norman Thomas in commenting upon
Waldman's appearance before Johnson
states in the New Leader of March 10: eve

WORKERS DEMAND |
"A new TRIAL FOR
RAYMOND O'TOOLE|
Was Convicted Because
He Is a Worker and His
Word Doesn't Count

PLENTYWOOD, March Is. =
Since the farmers of the county
begin to fully grasp the meaning
of the frame-up against Raymond
O'Toole in the celebrated pig case
instituted by DR.. Storkan they are
more than ever determined that
new trial must be gotten for this
victim Of capitalist justice. Con-
sequently one Of the most militant
united front committees ever
formed in Sheridan county and in
adjoining counties are working
vigorously to see that sufficient
funds are raised to carry Ray
mond's case up to the State Su-
preme court.
Many farmers who heard the
trial cannot understand how sane
jury could return a conviction on
the unsupportable evidence sub
mitted. In this they are even sup
ported by one of the prosecuting
attorneys, who admitted after the
| jury returned its verdict that he
"could not see a ghost Of a chance
for conviction"
| Nevertheless, the conviction wa;
returned and, to add to the per
versity of the situation, Judge S
E. Paul exceeded the jury's recon-
mendation by imposing two and
one half years suspended sentenc'
on Raymond.
The reason is plain to an,
farmer and worker who cares t
reflect on the perversion of jus
tice. DIR. Storkan openly admit
ted that the jury would take hi
word before they would take tn
word of worker out of funds an

accept DR.. Storkan's word in pre-
erence to Raymond O'Toole's

the bodies Of scores Of sssassinated
and murdered Left wingers and ep-
positionists. The brutal machine
cunning Of Alex Campbell. Pete
Reilly, Frank Licato. and scores Of
others in the anthracite, the killing
Of Frank Moran in the Bentleyville
local meeting. killing scores Of
others in Pennsylvania. Illinois, and
elsewhere, the destruction Of a once
mighty and powerful union with
socialistic leanings and Of all senib-
lanCes Of uniOnism among the min
ers with resulting servitUde and
misery, is the price the miners have
paid for the Lewis leadership.
Such a pamphlet viii be read
avidlv by thousands Of miners. One
weakness. however, in the pamphlet
is that it concludes with the period
shortly after the struggle Of 1923,
and does not take in the tremen-
dous struggles Of the miners under
Left-wing leadership after that time
illinois. 1929; Pennsylvania, 1881:
Utah-New Mexico. 1898; etc.; nor
does it discuss the new develop
ments in the mining industry and
the temperance of the Lewis
takers into the area supported by
the government and N.R.A. of1cials
But perhaps We shouldn't criticize
this, as such subjects in themselves
are worth two additional pamphlets.
But a weakness which should not
exist is the complete lack Of q pro-
gram Of action and perspective for
the coal miners.
The Communist miners have such
a program for the present situation,
embodied recently in a resolution
published in the Party Press. The
perspective Of a national union in
the industry Of a class struggle
character, Of unifying the now
divergent forces Of the miners into
one stream Of struggle to overthrow
the Lewises, Of the necessity Of
building opposition groups in the
U.M.W.A. to overthrow Lewis
should have been embodied IN the
pamphlet.
EVERY miner should obtain 8
Il package Of these pamphlets and
hand one each to his fellow miners.
Each opposition group in the U. NJ
W A. should obtain sufficient
number. not only for their support
ers, but in order to obtain new SUD
porters. Above all, each Party Unit
and Section in the mining districts
should see that it is widely circu-
lated.
One of the most outstanding
weaknesses in our struggle against
the Lewis takers and coal operators
is the absence of pamphlets and
literature for miners on subjects
which are near to them, There
exists such wealth Of material.
lessons and experiences Of our
struggles against Lewis. against the
bosses. Of strike struggles and gen
eral experience. that by now, after
twelve years activity, there should
exist a library Of at least twenty
five topics for Miners The miners
struggles and the extremely vslu-
able lessons and experiences are
rarely set to print, except in a news
paper article now and then II is
possible to say that with such ma
terial made available to all miners,
our task of breaking the strangle-
hold Of Lewis and his lackeys and
Of defeating the operators would be
manifestly easier. Let us do it.
