Is In Sacramento Court
Charged With Syndicalism
State A cts to Exclude
All Workers from
the Jury

SACRAMENTO, Calf, Dec. s.
The right Of workers in California
to organize, strike, and be members
Of the Communist Party, went on
trial last week with the opening by
the State of its drive to railroad to
Jail on criminal syndicalism charges
eighteen militants whose devotion
to the working class during the West
Coast strike evoked the frenzied
hatred of the bosses.
With the prosecution acting to
exclude all workers from the jury,
the panel of prospective jurors was
exhausted on the third day of the
trial. The defense, led by Leo
Gallagher, International Labor De-
Tense attorney, scored a point in
forcing the disqualification of the
sheriff and coroner for selection Of
the new jury panel. These officials
were voluble in their protestations
of impartiality, but when grilled by
Gallagher admitted that they bad
participated in the Vigilante raids
on strike headquarters, introduced
anti Communist resolutions in the
Elks and carried on other attacks
on the working class.
McAlIister ProsecuteS
Neil McAllister, red-baiting Dis
trict Attorney defeated for re-elec-
ton in the recent elections, is con-
Quoting the prosecution in the most
vindictive spirit. Incompetent, i'm
material and irrelevant" according
to him, were questions put by the
defense to prospective jurors, such
as do you belong to the American
Legion?" "Is it the Bank Of America
that owns the mortgage on your
homer" do you own stock in the
P. G.. E. Bank of America or Grow

ers to the penitentiary was ne
dected in the extreme efforts Of
Judge Lennon to appear "impar-
tial." In the courtroom talk among
reporters, it leaked out that Judge
Lennon had confidentially informed
a Hearst reporter that he had "ab-
solutely no sympathy with the Reds, -
but felt his reputation" is at stake.
To a question of the defense, the
judge admitted that the criminal
syndicalist law, under which the 10
defendants were indicted, is a blow
at the constitutional rights of the
toiling population. The defense had
asked prospective juror:
DO you believe in the right of
workers to defend their constitu-
tional guarantees of free speech,
assemblage and press?"
The judge ruled the question was
improper" and declared:
Restrictions have been placed up
on that right by the criminal syn
dicalist law"
The I. L. D. is developing a ma
tion-wide campaign for the repeal
of the criminal syndicalist laws in
California and other states, and
yesterday called on all workers and
their organizations to rush protests
to Judge Lennon and the District
Attorneys Office in Sacramento and
to Gov. Merriam demanding the re-
lease of the 10 defendants and re-
peal of the California criminal syn
dicalist law.

overcome the wrong and injuries
perpetrated against them and we
recognize that the organized la
Dor must do its full share in max
ing such protests effective, i.
Therefore be it
Resolved: That having the
foregoing clearly in mind, the Chi
cago Federation of Labor agrees
to the request of the Chicago
Workers Committee on Unemploy-
ment to approve the demonstra-
ton to be held on Saturday, No
ye1nber oath, for the purpose of
righting the wrongs and injusticeS
perpetrated upon those on the
relief rolls and more especially as
a protest against the new rules of
the Emergency Relief Commission
which will compel workers to work
for less than starvation wages, or
be denied relief. -
Role of C. F. L. Leadership
One would expect that after such
resolution the Chicago Federation
of Labor leadership, headed by John
Fitzpatrick, Oscar F. Nelson and
Edward Nockles, together with
everybody else would do their ut
most to mobilize the locals of the
A. F. of L. to come to the demon
stration. But not a finger was
raised by the leadership of the Chi
cago Federation of Labor official
dom to mobilize the masses for this
demonstration. AS matter of
fact, the Chicago Federation of La
Dor offlcialdon, while giving support
and endorsement of the demonstra-
ton on Nov. "a, was interested
rather not to build the demonstra-
ton, but to weaken it, if they could.
The facts are: The Painters Dis
trict Council of the A. F. of L. issued
an order to the local unions under
its jurisdiction, prohibiting them to
carry banners in the parade. Despite
this ruling the painters local defied
the ruling of their bureaucrats and
came with their banners, flying high
above the columns in the union Sec
ton of the parade. Victor Olander,
secretary-treasurer of the Illinois
Federation of Labor, member of the
Illinois Emergency Relief Commits
sion, endorsed the cut in relief
against which the march was or
ganized.
The Jewish Trade Union Fedora
ton Of the A. F.. of L., which is I'M
der the leadership of a Socialist of
the old guard type. likewise en-
dorsed the march, but on the very
eve of the march a motion was made
to withdraw the endorsement. This
motion was defeated because of the
pressure from below and also, as
they put it after all, the Chicago
Federation of Labor also gave their
endorsement"

Grand Jury
Indicts Two
InCIeveland
Framed Relief Clients
Are Charged With
ExtOrtiOn

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Dec. 3.-Un-
der the frame-up charge Of lex
tortion and blackmail" preferred
against them by the Broadway Of
flee Of the Cuyahoga County Relief
Association, Mrs. Viola Jubach and
Mrs. Mary Martin were indicted by
the Grand Jury for securing winter
clothing for the destitute family
Of Mrs. Martin.
Mrs. Viola Jubach, who, as q
m m b er of the Unemployment
Council, 18th Ward Assembly, was
on the Charity Committee for more
than a year, long encouraged the
emnity of the relief authorities for
her militant stand in behalf of the
unemployed. She was put in charge
Of Mrs. Martins case six weeks ago,
but the relief authorities refused
to see this committee all during
this time.
On Oct. II Mrs. Martin was fac
ing eviction. She telephoned the
relief office, and Mildred E. New
man was sent out to investigate.
When Newman arrived, Mrs. Mar
tin sent for Mrs. Jubach to present
her case. Newman at first refused
to do anything, but later signed an
order for clothing for Mrs. Martin
and her children.
Twelve days later, Oct. 81, two
days after, large demonstrate ton
of unemployed before the City
Council was attacked by the police
under Mayor Davis order and after
Mayor Davis made the public threat
of breaking up all future demon
STATIONS, Miss Newman preferred
charges against these two militant
women. She charged that the two
women imprisoned her for two
hours and kept her prisoner till she
was forced to sign clothing order.
Asked why she waited so long with
making her charges she answered
that she was advised by her SUI
periors to keep silent at that time.
The frame-up nature Of this
charge is clear to all workers. The
relief authorities had long been try
ing to get rid of Mrs. Jubach, who
has been long active in the Unem-
ploynent Councils. With Mayor
Davis promise of open police ter
ror against the unemployed and the
workers, it was thought that this
was the most opportune time to
achieve their aim, believing the
unemployed would not dare demon
strate in protest.
Resolutions and petitions are be-
ing circulated demanding that all
charges to be dropped against Adam
Siedlitzki, arrested at a protest
demonstration in their support.

stration and when it did mention
it, it announced that it will take
place not on Saturday, Nov. "a, but
on Sunday thereby misleading its
readers as to the time and place of
the demonstration and when dele
cation of workers came, protesting
against this, they apologized and
promised to correct it. They cor
rected it in such manner that they
hardly made any more notice Of the
demonstration.
The Cook County Executive Com
mittee of the Socialist Party like
wise went on record endorsing the
march. They also told the united
front committee that they would
send delegation to the united
front conference. The delegation
did not come, although the chair
man of the Cook County Executive
Committee of the Socialist Party
Mcdowell, was present at the con-
ference, but he spoke as a member
of the Chicago Workers Committee
on Unemployment. The Socialist
Party did not mobilize the masses.
It did not issue single leaflet and
did nothing towards building the
march.
The organizations which really
worked for the march, and threw
all their forces to build it were first
Of all the Unemployment Councils
and the Chicago Workers Commit
tee on Unemployment, the A. F. Of
L. Rank and File Committee for
Relief and Unemployment Insur-
ance, and naturally, the Commu-
mist Party and the Young Commu-
mist League.
Demand More Than Endorsements
We are placing this question be-
fore the whole working class, not
only in Chicago but nationally, SO
that the workers can learn that the
leaders in the trade unions and the
socialist organizations and the So
cialist Party, when they are forced
to give endorsement to the united
front, do this as a gesture. OF
course, we, as Communists, greet
even such endorsement. We see in
this step forward. But we are
not satisfied with it.
But there is more than that.
With the endorsement of the march,
about which the Federated Press re-
ports as follows:

Front With Socialists and

TO m al n tain, strengthen and
l broaden the fighting united front
in struggle against the cut in relief,
for cash relief, for immediate Win
ter relief, for jobs, for public works,
for increase of wages in the shops, for
the right to organize, for the Workers
Unemployment and Social Insurance
Bill is the central task confronting
the Chicago working class.
This was placed before $4,000
Chicago workers at the huge united
front mass meeting on Nov. "a by
Karl Lockner, the leader of the Chi
cago unemployed, the Communist
candidate for Mayor, and met with
enthusiastic approval.
The Chicago working class, its or
CARNATIONS, trade unions, organiza-
tions Of the unemployed, the Com
munist and Socialist parties, and
other working class organizations,
had united for action on Nov. "a
for immediate concrete demands
which the workers of Chicago ap-
proved and were ready to fight for.
To consider that to enforce these
demands it is sufficient to have one
action really means to fool the
masses. While it is true that even
one action for these demands is an
important step forward, the uniteu
front must be maintained, strength
ened and broadened in struggle for
the demands around which all of
the organizations participated in at
the Nov. II conference, and masses
Of workers in the demonstration on
Nov. "a. 1t is therefore necessary to
carry on the united front. 1t must be
concretized especially in the neigh
borhoods. 1t is necessary, therefore,
that in every neighborhood, united
front action committee, embracing
the Unemployment Council, Chicago
Workers Committee on Unemploy-
ment, trade unions, all working class
organizations, including the Com
munist and Socialist parties, to de-
yelop local activities around the re-
lief stations, to draw into these the
workers from the shops, Negro peo-
pie, young workers, children, in
short, to involve the whole toiling
population for the immediate needs
and demands of the masses.

The contractors, the John w Cow
per Co., are now looking for horses
with which to haul the bridge into
its new home Three horses will be
enough for the 600-ton structure.
Each horse will be hitched to wind
lass and the windlass will pull cables
attached to various sections of the
bridge. The windlasses are geared
so that a complete turn moves the
bridge only ] inch.
On the day of the moving, traffic
will be stopped at both ends of the
bridge at midnight. Final prepara-
tions. including the cutting out OF
street cars and other utility services,
will go on until 5 am, at which hour
the bridge will actually start to move.
The contractor is allowed to stop
traffic for 48 hours. If it takes longer
than that to get the bridge into its
new location and traffic running
again. the contractor will forfeit $500
for every additional "a hours.
There is a Waterman over the
present bridge. This will be cut off
and not put in service again, arrange
ments having been made for carry
ing the water through other mains.
The electric light wires will be strung

MYSTERY GUNMAN
SHOOTS TWO MEN
Bank Teller One of Victims.
Police Hunt CoIored
ASSaiIant.

In a mysterious double shooting
in the 900 block of M street late
last night, Newell T. Stiles, 140O
block Military road and James john
son, colored, were seriously wounded
Both might have been shot by the
same colored man, but police said
neither could give a coherent account
of the shooting or any reason for it
AS police reconstructed the shooting
from the stories of the two, Stiles
who is listed in the city directory as
bank teller, was shot after the gun
man had wounded johnson.
According to the police theory
Johnson was shot in an alley near
where Stiles car was parked. AS the
gunman left the alley he ran into
Stiles, asked him what he was "look-
ing at" and suddenly shot him.
Stiles was treated at Emergency
Hospital and johnson at Garfield
Hospital. Both were shot in the abdo-
men.
All available police cars were as
signed to the case Immediately with
orders to track down the gunman.
Six headquarters detectives also were
detailed to the case by Capt Bernard
w. Thompson, assistant chief of de-
tectives.
The colored gunman was described
by Stiles as light skinned man,
about feet inches tall and about
38 years old He was dressed in a
dark coat and light hat or cap.

M vert Street Bridge is draw
wv ing nearer, but the actual
1 ' i shifting of the structure
down Rock Greek Valley will
not take place next Wednesday and
Thursday as the contractors had
hoped. Instead it probably will begin
about week from Wednesday.
Preparations for taking street cars
over the old bridge in its new loca-
ton, 80 feet downstream from where
it stands, are advancing daily.
Wooden trestles are being built and
the tracks on the west end have
already been laid. 1t will be the work
of but few hours to connect up
these tracks with the rails on the
bridge after the moving has been
completed. The bridge is to be moved
in order to serve as a temporary
passageway for traffic while the new
bridge is being constructed.
The entire set of foundations for
the temporary bridge has been COM
pleted and most of the work of cut
ting the supports of the bridge loose
has been done. The supports, as
they are cut, are mounted on steel
rails and wooden block. which rest

blocks will move along this railway
