Food March

ANACORTES, Wash, April a.
Bill Wollertz, young lumber worker
and militant leader Of the unem-
ployed here, died at his home on
March goth following his release
from prison. The death of Wollertz
is solely the responsibility Of Gov
ernor Martin and the Supreme
Court in Olympia, the international
Labor Defense stated.
A year and half ago. hungry
iobless men and women marched
into Skaggs Store in Anacortes, and
took food. Denied relief and even
Red Cross flour, they were driven
to desperate action.
Five Of the leaders OF the unem-
ployed were arrested and charged
with grand larceny. In defending
the prisoners, the LID. pointed out
that these men took no food and
counselled no food riots as a means
Of getting relief.
At the trial In Mount Vernon, the
workers undertook their own de-
Tense. and A. L. Marshall was re-
leased Carried to the State Supreme
Court, Stanley Anderson was ac-
quilted.
Pressure from both sides was In
tensifed. liver Moe sold out. be-
trayed his fellow defendants, and
denounced the Communist Party
and LID, the organizations which
defended him and to which he be-
longed. Betrayed in turn by the very
authorities to whom he sold out
Moe is now the only Anacortes de-
PENDANT still in jail.
Wollertz, then a sick man, issued
from his bed the statement: II wish
to state that although the Supreme
Court has ruled me guilty, feel
that I am not guilty of grand lar
ceny and riot and not guilty Of any
crime except that of working class
activities. I wish to call upon all
those who have a sense of Justice
to continue in the struggle for our
unconditional release under the
leadership OF the LID.
Wollertz's physical condition was
taken before the courts and the gov
ernor dozen times. Physicians who
examined him stated that he could
not live under Jail conditions.
Working class indignation rose as
Wollertz lay near death on a prison
cot in Monroe, doped by incompet-
ent and brutal officials. His legs
