gether with Don he had distrib-
uted leaflets all over town adj
vertising the meeting.
Not Sure of Self
A greeting was to be given
the conference by one of the lads.
Don had the words all figured
out, but he was not sure of his
voice. The other boy could
speak.
They discussed the greeting.
THE Young Communist League
will do all in its power to free
Tom Mooney-can you remember
that Ralph?" Eyes," said Ralph.
A few more sentences were men,
Orized.
At the Conference Ralph gave
the greeting, and Don listend alb
sorbingly. Each word had a liv-
ing meaning to him. That's fine
he whispered as Ralph conclud-
ed and the assembly applauded.
Don worked for two meals a
day and a room. He spent treas
ured hours studying certain tech
meal subjects.
Under a Workers and Farm
ers' government a fellow would
be able to exercise his abilities
to create things. The rest of the
eime he dvotd to organizing
young workers. Teaching them
the things he knew and learning
many things he didn't know.
Learns to Speak Well
He learned to speak. Five, then
ten minutes and more. The rough
edges were planed smooth and
he rapidly evolved toward being
skilled organizer. The workers
needed organizers; he must be
come one.
During the maritime strike
Don did his best to aequaint
himself with the problems OF
the strikers so that he could
inform the youth of the city
what it meant to them and sc
that he could organize the YCI
among the young waterfront
workers.
The Portland raids have beer
chronicled. Don was one of those
arrested. Criminal syndicalisn
is the charge and he has beer
convicted. His case will be ap
pealed.
Ten other workers await or ar,
on trial in Portland and Kelso
charged with criminal syndical
ism. If these men are convicted
it means that any worker wht
fights for better conditions ear
be given ten years.
Not Eulogy
These lines are not written II
eulogize Don Cluster. If they con
stitute a eulogy, it is of the for
middable working class that car
toss up before the fearing cap
italists such fine sons as Dol
Cluster.
My idea is that everyone VIII,
is in favor of free speech, assem-
blage, workers rights, should
do his bit to smash the control
ling class's insane terror.
We can show our indigna-
tion by writing letter of pro-
test to Governors Meier and
Martin, to prosecutor Langley
and Judge Tucker in Portland,
by supporting the meetings
and appeals Of the Information
al Labor Defense, and perhaps
above all, by finding out just
what Criminal Syndicalism is
and then telling our fellow
workers in shop, union or
neighborhood.
Don Cluster. / am certain

This question deals largely with
whether TO make the pledge absolute
or whether to permit moviegoers to

Another major problem is to or
ganize Protestant groups, such as the
Y. NJ. c. A. and similar organizations,
into an active machine for the cam
paign.
Today there are to meet in New
York two rabbiS, two priests and two
Protestant ministers to map a Joint

Stricken with a heart attack late

He obtained recognition In 1918
when, during a movement for parlia-

was charged with the murder of q
Christian boy.
After an investigation, the police
chief in Kiev, Russia, decided the boy
had been killed by members of
criminal gang to make him admit he
had told authorities about the gangs
activities.
The Russian government, following
an anti-semitic policy. was eager to
pin the crime on a Jew as a ritual
murder. Beiliss was arrested and,
after months of confinement in Jail,
was acquitted. Members of his race
sent him to Palestine and installed
him on a farm.
He left there in 1918 to come to the

in American aviation, quit the busi-

new temporary airmail contracts

Brittin was one of the country's
