oce Terror Uneashed Stem Struggles of Unemployed
and Guns Used
Against Relief Strikers

Sheufelt, a member of the American
Workers Union Of Garden Home,
who was held four days and charged
with assault with intent to kill"
under $500 bond.
What was the role of the LID.
in this struggle? Members of the
LID. had been on the picket line
with these workers every day. I'M
mediately after the police attack on
Bloody Tuesday" despite the fact
that District Organizer George Kap-
Ian and the Section Organizer OF
the LID. were arrested on the
street and held for investigation,
leaflets were gotten out protesting
against the terror, and mass pro-
test was modified. After seventy
two hours Of continuous effort, the
LID. forced the reelase of the sig
teen workers held on total bond
of $4,000. All sixteen will be tried
on Dec. IL.
The Strikers Defense Committee
under the LID, is conducting an
intensive campaign of mass protest
to back up the legal defense. Mass
protest meetings are being held,
and united front solidarity actions
of various sorts are being called for.
Protest petitions are being widely
circulated, demanding the dismissal
of all charges against the sixteen
defendants. Committees are visit
ing all A. F. of L. locals, mass or
CARNATIONS and churches with pro-
posals for full support to the de-
Tense, the adopting of protest reso-
lutions, etc. A public mock trial
of the workers against the police,
city administration and Governor
Johnson is being planned to be held
Just before the real trial of the
workers.
Perhaps the greatest victory for
the program of the LID. in this
struggle has been the successful or
ganization of new LID. branch,
the Henry Brown Branch, among
the members of the American Work
ers Union in Englewood. Members
of the A.W.U. in Garden Home are
now asking that branch of the
LID. be established in their neigh
borhood
All workers and sympathizers, all
organizations who believe in de-
tending the basic rights of the
workers, should send protest resolu-
tons to Governor johnson and the
District Attorney in Denver, Col,
demanding the dismissal of all
charges against the sixteen workers.
Defense funds should be sent to

cause he was only fortunate enough
to obtain a high school education,
and because right now there are
too many doctors!" No, he (and
others like HIM might become I'M
duly insistent about serving a So
ciety which has no place for him,
and might begin making ''unreason-
able demands" So the proper place
for his letter is in the humorous
column, where his unpublished
phrases, his naivete in making such
a proposition to philanthropy, and
his ambition, persistence, and other
good qualities are subject to ridicule
and are utilized to widen the gap
between the doctors and the less
fortunate strata of society. Thus,
along with the economic restriction
of opportunities does bourgeois in
dividualistic virtue logically develop
into fascist cynicism.
In Soviet Russia today, or Soviet
America tomorrow, this young man
would be put to work in hospital
as a nurse, technician, or whatever
he is at present fitted for. He would
be given wide opportunity and en-
couragement to study and advance
himself in his free time; and if he
were particularly skillful, and earn
est in his work, he would, no doubt,
be elected by his trade union to be
sent to a full-time school as one
most worthy and qualified to enter
the medical profession.

Squirt in l " o Drioe ShOaUs
That Efforts Bring Results
Recruit / ,39l Members in One Week AS Sections
Improve Recruiting Tempo
BY MAX BEDACHT

The International Workers Order
achieved 1,017 new members last
week; in addition it took in 374
children. With this grand total of
1891 applications in this one week
the section and district organiza-
tons of the Order have shown that
they begin to take the drive seri-
ously. They have shown that real
efforts always bear fruit.
The first weeks of the campaign
only doubled the regular routine
recruiting of the Order. This was
most unsatisfactory. 1t left the de-
sired recruiting quota far behind 1t
also indicated weak mobilization.
Efforts to arouse the responsible
leading comrades in the sections to
more intense efforts were often
answered with alibi explanations.
The comrades in practice usually
evaded discussion of ways and
means to make the drive more sue
cessful; they rather produced argu-
ments why the drive could not be
more successful.
The results of last week showed
that at least real work is being done.
1t showed that the leaders in the
sections and districts have orien-
tated toward serious efforts. The re-
suit of these first serious efforts will
undoubtedly prove to them the
possibilities of the campaign Their
self-confldence will rise and will be
an inspiration for greater efforts.
That is why we are sure that we
will continue in this path. LOTT new
members is only the start. 1900 a
week is the next goal. The final
week of the drive must establish a
record of over 5000. The record
figures of our Order for new mem
bers within one week up to date are
2,316 adult and 800 children. This
figure was achieved in the last week
of last years drive. This figure
should be and will be doubled in the
last week of this years drive.
The detailed results of the drive
last week show an all-around i'm
provement. The Jewish Section
reached 1923 and keeps first place.
The English Section follows with
Ill. Third place is taken by the
Ukrainians with 100 new members.
The Italians achieved 81 and the
Hungarians 10. Then follow the
Slovaks and the Poles with 70 each.
The Youth is next with 81 new
members. The rear is brought up by
the Trade Union Option with SO,
and the Rorlmanians with 80 new
members.
To this date the campaign has
achieved 1876 per cent of its total
quota. The various sections have re-
cruited from July l up to November
IS the following percentages of their
quota:

Oh yeah, for the 5000 or more of
us who will be fired after Christmas?
Hundreds of Valentines cops
were around the store and dozens
of plain-clothesmen mingled with
the crowd. Obviously, Macys is
seriously concerned about the steps
which we are taking and will take
against mass lay-offs after Christ
mas and for unemployment insur-
ance. Perhaps that accounts for
the MOBILIZATION of three times as
many cops as were needed to handle
the crowd.
