CHICAGO. Ill, Aug. 80. - Priv
ate detective agencies, which are
really recruiting agencies for gun
men, gangsters, thugs and scabs, are
swinging into action, making vast
preparations to supply strikebreak-
ers for the textile employers, it was
learned here today. The leading
agency in Chicago, the American
Detective Service Co., with offices in
the Weccard Building, has nego-
tiated with number of textile en-
ployers to do spy work, to furnish
breakers and guards for the
plants when the workers walk out
on strike.
Mr.. Weccard's plan for strike
breaking is disclosed in a letter
which was sent to a prominent tex
tile manufacturer on August 81, and
later fell into the hands of a re
porter for the Daily Worker. The

BERLIN, Aug. 30.-Bitterly as
sailing the so-called Peoples
Court" of the Nazis, w. o. Thomp-
son, noted American lawyer here on
visit, yesterday condemned the
fascist tribunal as a "star cham
ber." Thompson, a former law
partner of Clarence barrow and a
former member of the N. R. A. Re
view Board in the United States,
voiced his criticism in an interview
here on the eve of the trial of Is
young Communists on the charge of
high treason"
The case of the young workers,
who are charged with preparing a
civil war, is believed here to be pre-
liminary to the trial of Ernst
Thaelmann, imprisoned leader of
the Communist Party.
Thompson, who attacked not only
the court methods Of the Hitlerites
but also the concentration camps,
called 1t "a CHASTITY joke" that three
of the five members of the "Peo-
pies Court" sitting on the bench
should be Nazis who have already
engaged in physical combat with
workers in an attempt to crush the
Communist Party of Germany.

Release
Of Negro
Alabama Court Rules
Southern Worker
Is Not Illegal
Especial to the Daily WORKER

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Aug. 3D.
The International Labor Defense
scored a significant victory this
morning when, in releasing Fred
Biedell, a Negro worker charged
with criminal anarchy, Judge John
Arnold declared that the Southern
Worker and its contents we're not
illegal.
This statement, made after police
and members of fascist groups had
arrested scores of workers who pos
sessed copies of the Southern
Worker, followed the recent illegal
temperance of the paper in an
swer to the police suppression of
previous issues.
Judge Arnold refused to convict
Israel Berlin and Fred Keith. two
white workers arrested with Biedell,
on the testimony of the police.
They said Berlin and Keith were
members of the Communist Party.
Nevertheless, Judge Arnold took
under advisement" the criminal an
archy charges against the two
workers, awaiting further proof
from John Foster, city attorney, as
to their membership in the Com
munist Party. This, the judge de-
clared, was organized to overthrow
the government by violence, and
proven membership in it would
therefore be criminal anarchy.
The victory gained by the South
ern Worker in this trial is being
carried on with renewed protests
against the continued attempts to
outlaw the Communist Party COM

NEW YORK. - The en-

In other mill centers, the employ

locking the workers out. This was
done at the Sunset mills in Selma,

In the Lawrence, Mass, wooden

MOSCOW, Aug. 80 (By Wireless)
Aggressive and provocative acts of
Japanese anchurian Hilary
circles are concentrated more and
more around the Soviet Consulate
at Pogranichnaya station, Man
churia, reports from Hardin state.
Absurd and slanderous charges
are being made against the Soviet
consulate, and personally against
Consul Stelmakh. These accusations
are evidently made to serve as an
excuse for further provocative
action.
The newspaper "Harbinskoye
Vrcmia," a white guardist sheet,
financed by japanese inperialists,
yesterday reported sensational in
structions for organization of
train wrecks received by Hunghutze
bandits from certain extra terri
torial institutions at Rogranichnaya

The white guard paper Hun
Pao," deciphering these instruc-
tons, does not hesitate to write
openly about participation of some
Soviet consulates in Manchukuo, in
undermining state activities and
alleges "the role of the consulate at
Pogranichnaya station, headed by
Consul Stelmakh, is especially out
standing"

special to the Daily Workerl

MOSCOW, Aug. 80 (By
Wireless). = A secret war
agreement has been signed be-
tween Germany and Poland
for joint attack with Japan
against the Soviet Union, says
cable to the Japanese news
paper Asahi, from it's London cor
RESPONDENT.
This sensational dispatch from
London states that an influential
person, well acquainted with the
situation, exposed the existence of
a secret agreement between Ger
many and Poland regarding a joint
attack on the U.S.S.R. in case of a
Japanese-S Soviet war"
The Japanese newspaper remarks
that considering the presence of a
united front of Germany and
Poland on the question of an East
ern Locarno pact, the changing
situation of Europe, and also the
coming U.S.S.R. entrance into the
League of Nations sit is hard to
deny the fact that some secret dip
lomatic steps in connection with
Japan-Soyiet relations have been
undertaken in Europe"
Izyestja Comments
Izvestia, Soviet newspaper, COM
menting on this report, writes:
"Asahi is acting in the rather
unusual role for the Japanese press
exposer of secret war preparations.
However, the demonstration
seems strange only at first glance.
1t is sufficient at least specifically
to acquaint oneself with recent in
formation in the Japanese press in
order to understand that press is
charged by some circles" daily to
inspire the Japanese readers with
the idea that it is not the aggressive
Japano- Manchurian circles who are
preparing OF attack the USSR.,
but that the U.SSR. is preparing
to attack Japan or Manchuria. And
that in case of such a conflict, the
military task of Japan will be ex-
tremely easy, particularly because
Japan is not alone, and military
assistance will be rendered her
either by England or Germany and
Poland, or by all of them together.
Seek to Hide Isolation
Thus they try to conceal from
The readers the fact that never be-
fore has the adventurous policy of
aggressive Japanese circles led to
such complete moral isolation of
Japan in world public opinion as
Of late.
However, the Asahi's sensational
report is also deserving of attention
In another sense. 1t is interesting
to note that the negative attitude
of the Polish and German press to-
wards the idea of an Eastern pact
is serving, by the way, as a pretext
to convince Japanese public opinion
OF the presence of a secret agree
ment between Germany and Poland
in case of Soyiet-Japanese war

The truck was driven by a colored

Leaving the road on a curve, the

guests from the hotel and residents
Of the village rushed to the scene.
Dan Beattie, an employe of store
at Caesars Head, was one of the first
at the scene.
''The truck was upside down and
some of the boys were under it," he
said. Some people from the hotel
and some Negroes got there about the
time I did and we got a big timber
and pried the truck up and then got
the boys out. There were four or
five under it, I guess"
Beattie said he talked with the
driver and was told Father de Vineau
was riding on the seat beside the
driver.
He (Father de VineaW got ex-
cited and grabbed my arm and caused
