negligible effect of the immense government relief
and loan machinery in the hands of the Democrats.
Proof of the leftward trend of the masses is
found in the strongly confirming evidence from such
States Minnesota, Wisconsin and California
where the masses had other way to register
their resentment with their present position. Here
they voted for opposition parties and candidates,
such as LaFollette Sinclair, Olson and other anti
Wall Street" candidates. In Oregon one Peter zn-
norman, running independent" on so

votes are votes directed, mistakenly it is true but
nevertheless seriously against the policies of the
Wall Street monopolists as the masses experience

Strikers Held
In Ludlow

LUDLOW, Mass, Nov. Eight
workers are under arrest charged
with assault and melting to riot
and the scores of police are patrol
ling the streets to terrorize 1000
strikers of the Ludlow Manufacture
ing Associates jute mill, following
police attack on mass picket lines.
Thirty-five state police have been
sent into Ludlow.
Two clashes occurred yesterday,
when the noon and night shift of
strikebreakers came out, and police
and guards attacked picket lines.
Thousands of workers surrounded
the Jail after the arrests, and re-
newed assaults by police occurred
at the police station last night.
Thousands of workers are choking
the streets last night in support Of
the strikers. Police were called
from Springfield and Holyoke.
The strikers went out against the
blacklist and discrimination which
followed the sell-out of the Sep
TENDER general textile strike by
Francis German, leader of the
United Textile Workers Union. Since
then there has been almost con-
tinuous struggle at the mill. The
present strike began Monday. The
strikers are demanding shorter
hours and higher wages, abolition
of stretchout and recognition.
George Haas, one of the mill
company officials, is also justice of
the peace. Unable to get away with
handling the cases of the arrested
workers himself. because of the pro-
test Of the workers, Haas appointed
Thomas Kirkland, an attorney and
friend Of the mill owners, to sit on
the cases.

Prisoners Exchange Is
Now Being Negotiated
in Budapest
Especial to the pailv worker

PRAGUE, Nov 8 (By Wireless)--
Matthias Rakosi, heroic anti-Fas-
cist and leader of the Hungarian
working -class, who for more than
eight years has been tortured in
the dungeons of the Goemboes die
tatorship and for whose release the
workers all over the world agitsted
inces-artly, is now to be sent to the
Soviet Union through an exchange
of pTi-oner5, according to a Buda-
pest dispatch published in the
Prague "Tageblatt" today.
The workers in all countries, who
organized demonstrations demand
ing the release of RakoSi from Ar
gentina to Canada, from China
United States to England, rightfully
consider his rescue from certain
death as direct consequence of
Their worldwide militant protest.
Rakosi is to be exchanged for q
certain Professor Kameney. a no.
toricus sabotageur and counter-rev-
olutionist now living in one of the
model towns for social reformation.
Negotiations for the exchange are
now under way between the Soviet
and Hungarian embassies in Buda-
pest.
Upon finishing an eight and-a-
half-year term of nerve and body
wracking Imprisonment for the
"crime" of leading the Hungarian
workers in their struggle against
fascism, Rakosi, the Communist
leader, had not only been refused
his freedom but the secret tribunals
of the dictatorship had already be-
gun to hint of further crimes" as
prelude to the legal murder of
the world-famous anti-fascist.

Ropes were tied to him and he managed to make his way slowly through the dark interior until he had To- cated the child's body.

 Captain Russell and Private Rice held the ropes fastened to Kachercis, while Patrolmen Cass and Overton used their flashlights to iilumine the tunnels darkness.
