Last night a meeting organized
by the Communist Party to protest
against the use Of troops against
the strikers was broken up at the
Charlotte courthouse steps by local
police, deputy sheriffs and vigil
lantes, and Paul Crouch, district
organizer of the Communist Party,
was arrested and held in Jail for
two hours.
About thousand workers gath
cred in front of the courthouse to
hear Crouch, but on the steps lead
ing up to the building there was
massed rural police, deputies and
hundreds of Ku-Kluxers, VIII o
openly admitted that they were out
to lynch Crouch.
Only Communist would do
what Crouch did last night. Fear
lessly, this tall, lean man from
Wiles County, N. c., strobe up the
court house steps at 7:30 pm.
Lynchers were all around him. 81
lence fell over the crowd. Even the
lynchers stood awed as Crouch re-
moved his hat, surveyed the audi
ence, and said, 1.-THE Constitution
of the United States says"
Police and Ku-Kluxers seized
him. They pushed him off the
steps. They kicked this most out
standing citizen of North Carolina.
Some spat at him. They called him
a -of-a-bitch. They told him
to go back from where he came
They yelled Lynch him." But
there were too many sympathetic
workers on the court house lawn
for the small band of lynchers to
carry cut their threat. So Chief of
Police Vic. P. Fesperman ordered
Crouch to be taken to Jail "for safe
keeping"
On the way to Jail Fesperman
flourished a piece of paper that he
took from Crouch Here's the
speech he was going to make" the
chief said. I looked at the piece
of paper and saw written there that
section of the Constitution which
is supposed to guarantee the citi-
zens of this lnad the right of free
speech and assemblage.
Crouch was released later in the
evening and no charges were
brought against him.

ment, relies on a population of a
170,000,000 Soviet citizens, among
whom the last remnants of class
differentiation have been liqui-
dated" Kun adds further.
This Soviet proletariat, which
has allies in the entire revolution
airy working class and the toiling
masses of capitalist countries and
colonies, has already proved that
the socialist system is not only SUI
perior to the capitalist system of
chaos but also indicates the only
path for the elimination of this
chaos with all it's calamities for
the toilers," he says.
1.-THE Soviet Union, the bulwark
against imperialism, is the first
state to use its economic power and
might for the well-being of all toll
ing mankind, and not for the pres
ervation of oppression and the eX-
ploitation of the toiling masses. The
socialist Soviet Union, which, during
the October Revolution first showed
how imperialist war should be
ended, has always used its growing
might to strengthen the struggle for
peace, not only for the peoples of
its own country, but for all toiling
mankind" emphasizes Kun.
Victory for Soviets
"The invitation of the Soviet
Union to the League Of Nations,
where hitherto new impcrialist
wars were secretly prepared, where
plans for new divisions of the world
were discussed, is victory for the
peace policy Of the Soviet Union
but not yet by any means a guar
antee of peace. Two most mill
tant fascist states-Germany and
Japan-which previously deserted
the League Of Nations, are not in
cluded among the powers who
signed the invitation of the Soviet
Union. They left the League pre-
cisely because they supposed that
as imperialist contradictions sharp
en-, even the League might hinder
the outbreak of imperialist war,
he points out.
"They conducted attacks against
the entrance of the Soviet Unior
into the League of Nations unit
the last moment because they
looked on the Soviet Union as the
only State which might really fight
against war and fascism.
Among the powers signing the
invitation, however, not only fas
cist states were absent, but suct
classic examples of bourgeois de-
mocracy as Switzerland and Bel
GUM. This merely shows that no
only fascism or bourgeois democ
racy determines the attitude O
capitalist countries to the Sovie
Union, but also their temporary for
eign political interests, and thei
temporary attitude to various lead
ing imperialist powers or groups Oh
questions of war or peace" Kul
states.

Newark Workers Meet

NEWARK, N. j., Sept. 19.-
Workers in Newark Joined in an
enthusiastic meeting here Monday
night to show their solidarity with
striking textile workers. More than
500 workers, almost half of whom
were Negroes, listened to reports on
the textile strike and particularly
on the Paterson situation.
The meeting, which Shapiro, I'M
employed leader, presided over,
heard Martin Russak, Communist
candidate for Congress; Jack Rose,
and the New Jersey district organ
izer, SAFER. The workers sent protest
kilograms to the Governors of
South Carolina and Rhode Island.
A provisional committee made up
Of representatives of all working
class organizations in Newark was
elected to provide relief for the tex
tile strikers. 1t was announced
that by Monday a truck load of
food would be sent to the striking
silk workers in Paterson.

lions of workers, impoverished

their search for a way out of CAPT.
talist misery and imperialist war
and oppression.
ass-conscious workers-w .
and Negro readers of the Daily
Worker-must carry the 100000
campaign to levels and corners not
yet reached by our Party and revo-
lutionary press. The unemployed,
the share-croppers, the stirring
masses of America and its colonies
need the guidance of our Daily in
their day to day struggles for bread
and ultimate freedom.
I especially appeal to the workers
of Harlem, the national and inter-
national center of Negro life, to go
forward with the present financial
campaign of the Daily Worker.
Through this campaign we should
stiffen our struggle against the re-
formists and other lackies of i'm
perialism who have their origin, and
are most brazenly and shamelessly
active, in Harlem.
Let us turn the flood-lights OF
Communism on these breeding nests
of chauvinism, anti-semitism and
petty-bourgeois nationalism, which
are the main social props OF the
white rulers. Only our daily press
can maintain the constant often
sive and vigilance needed to combat
these reactionary influences.
Each penny raised for the Daily
Worker is a blow to jim-crowism,
to the lynch-rule of the Southern
bosses, to the plottings of the
would-be saviors of the Negro peo-
pie who point to the hell-holes OF
the imperialist colonies as a haven
for the doubly oppressed Negro
masses. The Daily Worker is our
best answer to these.

(Speciat TO the Daily Norker)
BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Sept. 18.-
A new wave of raids on Commu-
nists here is now being carried on
by police red squad under the
leadership Of MoSer and Cole.
Adie Adkins, sc, Negro working
woman, was arrested Monday and
charged with distributing litera-
ture advocating overthrow of the
government by force. Police traced
an express delivery package of
leaflets to her home, and sur
rounded and searched it Sunday.
Twenty-Five thousand printed
G. P. leaflets were seized in this
and other raids in an effort to
break the textile strike. The leaf
lets were headed ITO All Alabama
and Georgia Textile Strikers, On
To Victory with Flying Squadrons
and Mass Picket Lines"
Raids continue as Scott Roberts,
head of the Alabama Textile Man
ufacturers Association, announces
he will confer with Governor Mil
Ter in an effort to drive COMMIT
nists from the strike area.

Attack PicketS

concealed in the plant, joined in a
vicious attack against the workers,
beating many men and women with
their clubs and chasing them for
five or six blocks until the line had
been entirely dispersed. Eli Keller
and Sam Friedman, Socialist Party
leader, were arrested by police just
before the attack began.
In a short meeting of workers who
were on the Botany picket line,
held after they had been dispersed,
practically all of workers were of
the opinion that the leaders who
arranged the picketing we're to
blame for the attack against the
workers. Dell, of the International
Ladies Garment Workers Union,
who at earlier meeting in Paterson
had promised that workers from the
Amalgamated Clothing Workers
and I. L. G. w. U. in Passaic would
join with the Paterson silk workers
in picketing, later denied that he
had made any such promise when
the workers asked him where the
Amalgamated Workers were.
Dyers Strike Stressed
1t was announced at this same
meeting, however, that the Anal
gamated and I. L. G. w. U. work.
ers in Passaic would come out on
strike either Wednesday or Thurs
day, 1000 strong, to join with Pater-
son silk workers in closing down
the Botany plant. Several militant
workers pointed out to the picketers
at the Passaic meeting that the
most important problem before the
Paterson silk workers was pulling
out the dye shops in Paterson,
which are still running because of
the delays of local and national
union officials in calling the strike
Workers who wens to Passaic
learned from today's experience that
pulling out the dyers is an absolute
necessity. Earlier today Sam Fried
man, S. P. leader, joined with
Keller at the Paterson mass meeting
in urging that the workers picket
Passaic and not worry about the
dyers.
Y. c. L. Meeting Called
There is rising sentiment among
silk workers here for picketing the
dye shops. Action on the part of
many workers in demanding that a
membership meeting of the silk
union be called, resulted in hun
dreds of union members signing a
petition demanding that the meet
ing be called.
The Young Communist League,
which has taken an active part in
all strike activities in both Pater-
son and Passaic, is calling mass
meeting for all textile workers in
this area which will be held to-
morrow night in Oakley Hall, Mar
ket ST., Paterson. The speakers
will be Gilbert Green, national Sec
rotary of the YC.L.; Martin Rus
SAX, Communist candidate for
Congress, and Frank Carlson, dis
trict organizer of the Young Com
munist League.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE

Nothing is commented on more fre-
quently in the U. S. Army Engineers
report on the Columbia-Snake River
development that the absence of ter
minals" where wheat and other pro-
ducts may be handled in water trans
portation.
This seems to put the horse a long
way before the cart. 1t has never
been customary to build freight de-
pots along the line of proposed rail-
road before actual construction of the
railroad is begun. The ample termin-
al and warehouse facilities will be
provided in due time does not admit
of argument. It may be very well
that this question be raised by the
army engineers and discussed by To-
cal communities that will ultimately
construct the terminals and that will
supply heavy river tonnage, but that
terminals have not already been built
several years before needed does not
weigh very heavily against the need
of waterway nor against potential
tonnage, nor against the success of
the project. From the sidelines plan
of developing the Columbia and Snake
and Roadway is carrying that plan
into execution seem weightier prob
lens and of more pressing importance

Have you, as a taxpayer in this
county, anything more than a hay
idea of how the business of the county
is conducted? Do you know where The
money is spent-and for what? Do
you know, for instance, how much
the sheriff's office costs you? Do you
have any idea how many automobiles
the engineers office requires, or how
many men are employed or how
much is paid them?
When and if a road is repaired in
your neighborhood and your neighbors
are employed thereon, wouldn't you
like to know how long they worked
and how much they were paid? And
wouldn't you like to know where the
road money is being spent?
We have state law which states
that you, as taxpayer, are entitled
to this information and makes il
mandatory upon the commissioners tt
publish it.

than riverside terminals which will,
and must, naturally follow. Certainly
the absence of terminals In the past is
not a strong argument against river
development of the future.
In the engineers report we find
this supremely important statement:
at is estimated that, if adequate tom
mage were available, freight could be
moved profitably on the Snake and
Columbia rivers at cost of about
half of the existing rail cost" This
is the meat of the cocoanut. This is
the fundamental to which we must
look in pressing for development and
to which we must look for successful
operation later. To all of us as pro-
ducers and shippers it is the essence
of our contention. This deliberate
and well calculated estimate by the
engineers is sufficient incentive for
united aggressive action till our goal
is reached.
As world markets become more re-
stricted our need for reaching such
markets at a minimum of cost be-
comes more important. We have less
leeway as competition increases. To
lay our products on world wharves
in competition with others we must
cut the cost of production and trans
portation at eveyr possible point. Not
alone the margin of profits to the
producer, but ready market for his

cheaper lands and with cheaper labor

labor conditions that would not be

more important factor in the markets
of tomorrow.

ture, the Inland Empire and the
Northwest require water transporta-
ton, as we shall attempt to show in

CELEBRATION

A community enterprise which the
farmers have not been asked to con-
tribute to is now an actuality. The
cannery has been secured, set up and
is ready for business purely for the
benefit of the district. Already its
effect has been indicated in stabaliz-
ing the price of asparagus and the
farmers will benefit to the extent OF
thousands of dollars on this one crop
alone.
The celebration next week marking
the official opening Of the institution
should be attended by every resident
of the district. It should be time
for general rejoicing and everyone
should participate, for it means so
much to our district. Mark April 81
as the date of the opening of new
era for the lower Yakima valley.
