To Outlaw Canadian

Aim of Smith Trial
Hearing Tomorrow in
Drive to Suppress Mill
tant Organization

TORONTO, Can.-Trial Of A. E.
Smith, General Secretary Of the Ca
madam Labor Defense League ULD0
has been set for Feb. 10, In spite Of
demands by the League and its coun-
sci that at least two months be given
for preparation Of the defense against
the "sedition" charge. Smith Is now
cut on $4,000 bail.
The charge against Smith, based on
a statement alleged to have been
taken down in stenographic notes by
one of the notorious Canadian North
west Mounted Police Stool-pigeonS at
a meeting he addressed, is an attempt
to completely outlaw the Canadian
Labor Defense League, and as such
Is an attack on the entire working
class movement in Canada. The Com
munist Party has already been out
lawed under the infamous Section
80" under which the eight party
leaders were railroeded to long prison
terms.
The charge Is that Smith stated
the Canadian Premier, r. B. Bennett,
who last year declared over a nation
wide radio hook-up that From now
on Hitler is my model" ordered the
murder Of Tim Buck, Communist
leader, in prison. Many shots were
fired by guards directly into Bucks
cell in Kingston prison, under cover
of q prison riot" Buck was locked
in his cell when the guards opened
fire on him.
as 1t fact that an attempt was
made on Bucks life?" Smith said at
meeting last week, attended by more
than 5000, protesting against his in
dictment. "We have an affidavit to
that effect. My position is that these
men who made an attempt to shoot
Buck were not acting on their own
authority, but drew the basis of their
action from higher authority
In order to protect the meeting
from possible false reports by police
special stenographers were engaged
by the G. L. D. L. to take verbatim
reports of the speeches.
A nationwide protest against the
sedition indictment is being orga-
rized by the c. l.. D. L., and linked
with its campaign for 100000 sig
natures for the repeal of Section
49," which is similar to the criminal

Berlin Workers Demand
Freedom for Dimitroff,

PARIS, Feb. i5.-Every effort by
representatives in Berlin Of the In
ternational Committee for the Re
lease Of Anti-Fascist prisoners to
learn what is happening to Ernst
Thaelmann, leader of the German
Communist Party, have proved fruit
less.
Word from Berlin says that ex-
tremely alarming rumors are spread
ing with regard to his fate. The
German authorities refuse to reply
to any questions.
Scheer Murder Predicted
1t is known that their chief wit
ness" at the treason" trial prepared
for him was the stool-pigeon Kattner,
who was killed by an unknown per-
son ten days ago.
Ample evidence OF the fate pre-
pared for him is supplied, however,
by the recent murder OF four lead
ing members of the German Com
munist Party, shot while attempt
ing to escape"
That the murder Of one Of them,
John Scheer, member Of the poll
teal bureau of the German C. p
was planned long in advance is
proved by the fact that the Petit
Parisien," a capitalist newspaper of
Paris, predicted his death as early
as Nov. 81, 1888, few days after his
arrest.
TOrgler Fate Unknown
The fate Of Ernst Torgler, leader
Of the Communist Reichstag fraction
who was acquitted at the Reichstag
fire trial, remains completely I'M
known. No one has been able to
learn where he is kept. There is no
means Of knowing that he is still
alive.
1t has Just been learned here,
through underground sources that
more than 100 workers demonstrated
in the Moritzstrasse, South Berlin
on Dec. 80, at pm, shouting, Re
lease Thaelmann, Dimitroff, Torgler,
Taneff and Popoffl" Down with
fascist justice!" Long lice the Com
munist Party!" Police and storm
troopers arrived too late to arrest
any Of the demonstrators.

urge the men to return to work.
