HilISbOrO Il Held
In Jail Through
ExOrbitant Bail
Bail of 100000 Re-
duced to $4,000,
Still Out Of Reach

HILLsBoRO, ILL.,, July 6. =
Judge Jet yesterday refused to
admit the eleven leaders of Mont
gomery County Jail to reasonable
bond. In the face Of tremendous
mass pressure from workers or
CARNATIONS he slightly lowered
the bail, but left it at the exorbi-
tant figure of $4,000 in property
for the group.
In spite of an able legal battle
put up by International Labor De-
tense Attorneys Roth and Baker.
the Judge refused to lower bail
beyond five thousand cash or ten
thousand property each.
The lawyers showed the vicious
ness of this amount, pointing out
that all but two of the prisoners
are residents of the county and of
these two are members of the City
Council of Taylor Springs. Judge
Jet exposed himself, in spite of
demagogic appearance of fairness,
as direct tool of the reactionary
forces of the county by passing
over this information.

as Police Attack

AMSTERDAM, Holland, July O.
Police, who have been ordered to
show no quarter to workers here
who for two days have barricaded
themselves in protest against relief
cuts, sent out a call for troops. Two
workers have already been killed
and scores wounded in the fighting
when the workers resisted the po-
lice.
The workers began their demon
stration when two days ago they
protested against the municipality
cutting down the dole and threat
ening hunger for thousands of job
less and their families. The police
viciously attacked the unemployed
and in their resistance the workers
threw up barricades in the Hordaan
workers section. They continued
their fight throughout the night and
next day.
Barricades torn down by the po-
lice during the night were set up
again the next morning.
Latest reports are that the fight
ing is extremely intense. Most OF
the windows in the district have
been broken by rifle fire. Lights in
the section were cut off last night
and bridge burned.
Police guards were posted at the
gas works and other public utilities

farm sections and tried TO pull
them off trucks. 0'Rourke, Conn

rebellion among rank and file
of the storm troopers was re-
ported today when the duped

Wedding districts of Berlin
along with Communists. AS the
news, which has not been officially
published, that the great mass OF
Storm Troops are to be disbanded
is passed by word of mouth among
the ranks, resentment flames ur
high.
1t is now officially admitted
among the fascist officials that the
economic and financial situation in
Germany is catastrophe. In des-
perate effort to meet it, the fascist
leaders have appointed the repre-
sentative of the leading bankers
coal, iron and munition kings, Kurt
Schmitt, as dictator Of trade and
industrial activities, handing over
to him the most drastic powers tc
slash wages, lower living standards
and to increase the profits of the
finance capitalists.
To enforce these powers, Kurt
Schmitt is given authorization tc
arrest, terrorize and even to order
the death of those who resist.
He has blanket authority to pro-
mitigate orders for the advance

as for the protection of industry
