Over thirty cops lined the street
ready to attack the pickets. The
orderly, militant and forceful
manner of the pickets and the
fact that many sympathizers lined
the entrance to the dock kept them
standing in line.
The mass demonstration this
morning must strike a strong blow
for the strike of the West Coast
seamen and longshoremen. The
M.WI.U. is modelling it's forces
and calls on all militant workers
for special cooperation in this
fight.

Nazi Lynch Court
Begins Work Today
Continued from Page y

ACOHttftAbW " bHt 08t
lynch tribunal-the newly created
bogus Peoples Court has been
set forward for today, July IA, in
stead of July Is, as previously an
nounced by Nazi authorities in
Berlin.
Hitler's hangmen who will preside
over the lynch court soon to begin
its work of railroading Ernst Thael-
mann, leading German anti-fascist
fighter and other anti-fascists to
the executioner's axe we're named
yesterday.
DR.. Fritz Rehm who heads diyi-
sion of the Prussian Supreme Court,
will head the new Nazi tribunal
designed to prevent another defeat
to the Nazis such as administered
by the heroic Dimitroff and world
wide mass pressure in the trial Of
the four Reichstag defendants be-
fore the Leipzig Supreme Court
which, despite a personal appear
ance of Prussian Premier Hermann
Goering, was forced to acquit the
four defendants.
Hitler himself named the judges.
There will be 80 of them, to hold
office for five years according to
Hitler's hopes. Twelve will be hand
picked career jurists, two high army
men, two high naval officers, a rep
resentatiye of the Reichswehr
Ministry, five Nazi party officials,
five officers of the Hitler troops, and
four aviation department officers.
Ernst Thaelmann, tortured, cour-
ageouS leader of the German work
ing class and head of the heroic
Communist Party of Germany is
slated to be one Of the first victims
Of the lynch courts, which are en-
powered to pass and execute the
death sentence within "A hours, and
from whose murderous decisions
there is no appeal.
The judges will be sworn in at
10 a. m. Saturday, July IA. The
setting forward of the date for the
opening Of the courts clearly cal
culated to take the world working
class and anti-fascists off their
guard. This nlaneuver and its
threat of speedy murder of Ernst
Thaelmann must evoke tumultuous
protests from the workers and all
anti-fascists throughout the coun-
try.
An urgent appeal for intensified
ton of the mass fight to rescue
Thaelmann was made yesterday by
DR.. Kurt Resented, Germany's most
noted political defense attorney
and former Minister of Justice of
Prussia, in an interview with the
Federated Press. DR.. Rosenfeld
declared, in part:
81 am firmly convinced that the
Reichstag fire defendants, Dini-
troff, Popoff, Taneff and Torgler,
would have been convicted had
not world pressure been brought
to bear upon the German govern
ment. This will be true in the
case of Thaelmann and all other
political prisoners. Only con-
tinued and growing pressure from
workers and sympathetic intellec-
tuals from all over the world Will
force the Nazis to free their vic
Tins"

Downtown Councils Call
Mass Meet; White Collar
Workers Picket Today

NEW YORK.-The Downtown
Unemployment Councils has again
appealed to all workers to mass at
Union Square tonight at 8 P. M.
to defeat any police plans to smash
the regular Saturday night meet
ings Of the Councils and terorlze
the workers.
Twice in the recent past police
have smashed the regular Satur-
day night meetings, clubbing the
assembled workers while other po-
lice covered the defenseless workers
with drawn guns. On Saturday,
June 80, cops fired guns, brutally
assaulted the workers, and jailed
Freida Jackson, organizer OF the
Upper Harlem Unemployment
Council, and Paul Block, city or
ganizer of the Relief Workers
League.
On Tuesday, Magistrate Leonard
MCGEE fixed bail at $500 each for
these two workers and held them
for the Grand Jury. Already the
frame-up machinery Of the police
department in well-oiled and in
motion. Cops have produced pipes
and black Jacks which they claim
were used by the workers. Block
and Jackson are charged with as
saulting two armed cops who held
leveled guns at the workers. In
court. E. j. Peters, one Of the cops,
admitted that he fired two shots,
and had beaten Freida Jackson.
Only mass outpouring of
workers determined to defend
their rights to the use Of Union
Square will prevent another saw
age attack by the LaGuardia
cops. In the past, when police
b-oke up the Saturday night
meetings, huge outpourings Of
workers on following nights
forced the police to allow the
workers unmolested right to the
Square.
Mass at Union Square tonight
at 8 P. M. Defend the right of
the workers to the use Of Union
Square. Demand that the La
Guardia cops keep their hands
off employed and unemployed
workers.

PARALLEL TO
GRAY-SNYDER
SLAYING CASE

SAN BERNARDINO, April 25.
U.P)-In a rather close parallel to
New York S notorious Ruth Snyder
Judd Gray murder case of 1926,
widow and her asserted admirer
went on trial on murder charges
here today.
Points of coincidence were these:
Like Ruth Snyder, the widow
was beneficiary of life insurance
policy of the husband. Unlike Ruth
Snyder, Mrs. Louise Shaw. 40, will
be awarded only $1,000 if cleared.
The male defendant IS name is
Snyder-Don T., former Los Ange-
les patrolman.
AS in the case against Gray and
Mrs. Snyder, the state charges the
pair murdered Shaw, then tried to
create misleading evidence. They
assertedly crushed his skull with
stone and then drove his heavy
truck over the body to make it ap-
pear he died in an accident.
Like Gray and Mrs. Snyder, the
pair was held for trial after each
had been questioned separately
and confronted with supposed "be-
trayal' by the other.
