cd LOS ANGELES, Calf, Aug. 12.-
Climaxing a jingoist, red-baiting
plea to the jury by the prosecutor,
four of six worker defendants in the
June unemployed demonstration
received heavy prison sentences
from the labor-hsting Judge Arthur
Crum last week. James McShann,
militant Negro jobless leader, was

total of % months on several
framed charges, including "inciting
to riot, " conducting meeting with
out permit, battery" etc.
Harold Hendricks, i'll with tuber-
culosis, was sentenced to two years.
John Sanders to 81 months and
Earl Tennry to 80 days for dis
turbing the peace"
Seasons, the fifth defendant. was
acquitted of the one charge against
him, but Immediately framed up on
other charges.
Another Sentence Monday
10th, the sixth defendant, will be
sentenced Monday.
So far, total of five years, 10
months and 20 days have been i'm
posed upon workers who were Grim
inally assaulted by police thugs when
they demanded work, adequate cash
relief, an end to forced labor on
garden lots and unemployment in
surance at the expense of the
bosses and their government.
The courageous attitude of all de-
PENDANTS was expressed in the chal-
lenge hurled by McShann at the
boss court: II am not afraid to suf-
fer for the working class. am not
thief, not a parasite, an exploiter
or a murderer. I am one of the
100000 of Americas unemployed.
.. . I shall know why I have to
suffer, Thousands of McShanns
will rise where I fall.
Leo Gallagher and Grover john
son, international Labor Defense at
torneys, Immediately filed notice of
appeal A campaign of protest
against these verdicts will be
launched by the International Labor
Defense.

the first player whom we shall call East Wind,
starts the game by placing jigger of rye on

a glass of soda alongside it. Then East Wind

With that Joe started to struggle. AS
he struggled he sank deeper. An over

water, to take one more deep breath of
air smote him. He struggled harder.
Feet threshing, arms pounding the water
Joe struggled to the top. His lungs were
bursting, there were spots before his
close-shut eyes, his body seemed like

He was conscious of a voice far in

Four days later as darkness fell over

can-and will-do it. He is on the West
Coast Just now He will not come East
for a regular case, but for something
special. But it will prove very costly"
How much?" asked Joe softly.
Joe had considerable trouble persuad-
ing Lucy to agree to the operation. She
questioned him, demanded information,
details Joe lied like hero about the
cost. the name of the doctor who would
perform the operation, the time it would
take to do it, and the seriousness of her
case.
d. Twelve days later Lucy was wheeled
down the long corridor, Joe walking by
her side. An odd pair they made; the
little mouse-colored man and the fair
haired angel in white. On Lucy's third
finger was Joes ring, purchased that
day.
Lucy's final words were Joe! Prom

Lucy.

Several days later the bandageS were
to be removed and then, and only then,
could the doctor be sure that the opera
ton was a success Lucy reminded Joe
of his promise. 1t haunted him, kept
him awake nights, followed him during
the DAYS How could he stand up before
a girl like Lucy! The first thing for her
to see!
The promise haunted Joe so that the
day the bandages were to be removed
he paid a visit to theatrical booking
agency When he emerged an hour or
so later he had with him a young man,
clean cut we'll dressed, good looking. The
young man had been hired for the day.
His duties would be light. He was to
stand beside a hospital bed for an hour,
and hold the hand of girl. That was
all Just hold her hand, and let her
look at him.
\h/HEN the time came for the removal
of the bandages, there were five
people in the room. The doctor from the
West Coast, the head of the hospital, the
nurse the young man from the thea
trical agency, and another mana
nlouse-colored man who crouched be-
hind a screen.
The room was dim with drawn cur
tainS, only one small light burned in the
solitary socket The doctor whipped off
the bandageS. There was silence for a
moment. Joe strained to see. Lucy
waited long moment, and then slowly
= opened her eyes She cried out with
pain and shut her eyes tight her hands
flying to cover them. Once more
she opened them at the suggestion of
the West Coast doctor. This time she
turned her head and gazed full into the
face of the young man at the head of
her bed.
Joe! can see! Joe!'
No one in the room moved. The young
man by the side of Lucys bed squeezed
her hand gently. Behind the screen,
Joe lowered his head into his arms.
"Oh, God in heaven" he prayed

OLD BOAT RELICS .. FOUND IN MUD
CWA Workers cat e Semi-Legendary Fixtures
 in River Bed

Des Moines, Iowa UP)--CWA workers, digging in the Des Moines river bed here recently uncovered the anchor and other metal fixtures of "The Golden Eagle" semi-legcndary paddle wheel steamer of the old river days.
 The ancient 50-foot craft was constructed to make the run be- tweed keokuck and Fort Dodge, but old timers recalled that the trip had never been made. TWO things, or rather the lack of them, kep tthe Golden Eagle from taking fight--water and passen- gers.
 If there was enough water in the river to float the boat, pass engers invariably failed to show up. And the one or two times when the pride of the waterfront did have a full passenger list, the river resembled a mud flat.
 Each spring Commodore" Wig gers, the owner. repainted the boat in picturesque colors. A stirring christening also was held at each painting time. A crew was hired. The whistle was blown long and loud.
 But it was no use. When there Mas water, there were no passcn- gers; when there were passengers, there was no water. The "Golden Eagle" finally sank in 1914, and was completely forgotten until the recent discoveries.

A victim of one of the rarest dis eases known to medical science, the muscles in the youngsters s body are slowly turning to rock like substance.

This, with other scat tered votes for the communist, was enough to offset the 1900 votes MacKcsy reportedly received in Haverhill. Before the Biedenkapp vote was disclosed William B.

The latest report was that with only one district. to. taling 19 votes, unaccounted for Biedenkapp had q 30-vote lead.
 official tabulation of the vote will be begun in Boston Monday and the result will not be formal ly announced for several weeks.
 An Avowcd Radical
 In his election campaign tour Of the Lynn area Biedenkapp stressed his communist affiliations. He said he was opposed to all arbitration of labor disputes, and would not countenance the intervention of any third party. whether 1t be a government body or private organ ization or individuals. All negotia- tions should be conducted directly between employees and employers, he said. He said the workers should stipulate the wage and working conditions of their em. ployment. He was received coldly in Lynn, but his theories were re- ceivcd more favorably in some centers.
 On the other hand, Mahan and MacKesy, both representatives O. Lynn cutters, favored conservative methods. including arbitration as a last resort to prevent strikes.
 Shoe Workers May Kick
 Doubt has been expressed here as to whether the approximately 650O Lynn shoe workers will con sent to follow the radical leader. ship that Biedenkapp represents, regardless of the outcome of the official vote. Some believed that the new union would eventually col lapse becouse of radical-conserva- tive dissension.
 The contest for general organ izer was five-cornered. Another of the contestants was Israel Zim- merman of Boston, formerly of New York. described as a one-time pupil of Biedenkapp's radical ism"

 He explained that before vetoing the bill. the president restored in part Spanish War and presumptive cases and that the net additional cost of the bill would be only SIP, 100000.
 We will probably find some way cf absorbing that additional bur den on the treasury without addi- tional taXes,' Rainey said.
 Ralney and House Majority Leader Joseph w. Byrns, D., Tenn, denied they discussed the tax situ- alton in White House call today.
 We simply rendered our Easter greetings to the president through his secretaries" Raincy said.
