State and City Officials
Attempt to Outlaw
Communist Party

PHOENIX, Ariz., Sept. 14-Fol-
lowing the order of Governor Moeur
that all Communist and militant
workers would be prosecuted, the
trial OF the % workers arrested
when police gassed and dubbed a
demonstration OF striking relief
workers and unemployed, began here
Tuesday.
Capitalist papers report one dead
and two dying and wired reports
to the Daily Worker state that
nine are dead and at least so in
jured by the police.-Editor.1
WORKERS packed the court at the
trial and filed the corridors.
Guardsmen were held "in reserve, -
and police and armed deputies
swarmed about the court house.
REM L. Jennings, county attorney,
told Gov. Moeur to "go to hell" and
refused to prosecute the case. De-
tense attorneys are Clarence Lynch,
International Labor Defense; q. T.
Wilson, former county attorney, and
Thomas j. Croaff, prominent labor
attorney and wartime president Of
the Arizona Federation Of Labor.
Acting upon the request Of the
victims Of the police attack, the
Phoenix Ministerial Association ap-
pointed a committee Of its ministers
to make an investigation.
While discussing the attack with
Police Chief Furst, Rev. E. w.
Stricken, one of the committee,
stated that he had affidavits from
20 workers that they were attacked
by police, who now charge that the
workers were armed. A burly cop
interjected, you can't make a liar
of me-" grabbed Stricken by the
throat, threw him to the floor, and
started to beat and kick him. When
another minister, Rev. H. A. Ans
pach, rushed to his assistance,
Stricken was led off to Jail.
Every effort is now being made to
outlaw the Communist Party in
Arizona, with the State, county and
city officials, and the American
Legion, the Elks and the Chamber
Of Commerce joining in the attack
Workers are asked to rush pro-
tests to Governor Moeur, State capt.
toll, Phoenix, Ariz., and to President
Roosevelt.

Quoted by the officials Of the A. F.
Of L., by the deportation cam
paign Of Frances Perkins, by the
threats Of General johnson, by the
organization Of the vigilantes, ETC.:
"Fascism or Communism"
When the issue is openly recogs
nized today as one Of Fascism or
Communism, it is acknowledges
ment Of the fact that the COM
munist Party is breaking through
its sectarianism and isolation from
the masses, that It is becoming ths
leader Of the masses Of workers,
toiling farmers and the Negro peo-
pie, that today it represents the
only power in the country threaten
ing and challenging the power OF
capitalism.
We can be proud Of our progress
but this progress must be spur
to ever greater activity on the part
Of every party member. Great
struggles are ahead-the masses
are looking for leadership. We must
unite the workers in the struggle
against the hunger-faSciSn- war
program of the capitalist class and
for the proletarian revolution. Fiji
teen years-fifteen years Of promise,
but Of stern proletarian duty! Ths
election campaign must be an in
dication Of this recognitionl We
must pile up q tremendous Com
munist vote, and ACHIEVE victory
for Communist candidates"

home of Nathan Strong, a militant
unemployed worker and member
of Local ! unemployed locaD of
the Mill, Mine and Shelters Union,
was bombed by thugs here last
Saturday. Strong barely escaped
with his life.
The bombing followed a heated
fight in the union after Strong
had charged that the union presi-
dent Thrasher, had misuSed union
funds. The president, charging
that Strong and another member,
Davis, were Communists, evaded
the charges of the members, and
succeeded in having the two placed
on probation. At the same time
he asked Strong for his address.
Davis, pointing out that the
union has no expenses is never
theless always in debt despite the
fact that dues total $40 weekly
He charged that the union presi-
dent carries the check book, keeps
the records from the treasurer, a
Negro, and never gives financial
report to the union.
While the membership is plan
ming to vote Davis as new presi-
dent, the Shelters Council prom
ised to reinstate both expelled
members.
