Drill Until You Faint

THIS type of exercise is specially
prepared and organized to de-
moralize the prisoners and drain
every bit Of their energy. The first
transport was drilled until many Of
the men tainted. But, "On Your
Mark, Forward March," went on
and on.
This always lasted until most of
the prisoners were on the ground,
their hands and arms bleeding.
their bodies racked with pain. At
first the prisoners exercised in CT
villain dress; later they were given
lightweight convict suits.
Every prisoner is looked upon as
a soldier of the lowest rank and is
obliged to salute every Nazi he
meets, regardless of his position.
The Up Down exercises are prac-
iced in addition, at all military
functions. When it is over, the
prisoner staggers back to his cell or
is carried to the hospital. The first
transports practiced the correct
manner of leaving their cells for
days at time. For hours and
hours the prisoners sat beside their
doors waiting for the whistle or
order to leave their cells and stand
at attention.
Until September the prisoners
washed naked at the pump in the
courtyard. Serious illnesses resulted
from exposure.

concerning the treatment of the

THOSE Of us who arrived at the
beginning Of April were forced
to sleep on the bare ground. When
straw was given to us later on, we

stairs and through the courtyard
to carry it to the sleeping quarters.

April, we were driven out Of our

Arrival at Sonnenburg

Arrival at Sonnenburg
IN THE month of April, 1888, the
first group of prisoners, I among
them, was transported to the camp
Of Sonnenburg under the vigilance
Of police and Nazi shock troops.
For hours and hours we remained
standing in open cars. From the
very beginning we we're subjected
to a wholS series Of brutal abuses.
After us, were to arrive one by
one from the prisons Of Berlin,
Spandau, Lehrter strasse, Alexan-
derplatz, Ploetzensee, and from all
over Germany, trucks and trains
filled with prisoners. The itinerary
is Schlesischer, Bahnhof and then
Sonnenburg.
Upon leaving the "Gruene Minna"
popular term for police wagon
each one is put in chains and kept
under guard. And SO we cross the
station to the cars, leaving behind
wives who watch US mutely eyes
blinded with tears. Two by two, in
our small compartments, we cross
the outskirts of Berlin on our way
to Sonnenburg, where men grow
quickly gray, where limbs are
crushed, nerves shattered and often
life snuffed out.
Our arrival at the concentration
camp is greeted first by the warden,
a Nail Of the most savage variety.
Rifles and pistols, triggers cooked,
are pointed at us. And inmedi-
ately we hear:
"You Communist pigs! Keep your
filthy heads up"
'Hey, there. stand at attention,
you blockhead."
Then comes the order to sing the
National Anthem. There are many
who do not know it. The Nazis beat
the prisoners with the butts of their
guns and strike them across the
face with fists. Those who do not
march in step are kicked in the
shins with heavy hob-nailed boots.
The inhabitants watch from behind
their windows as we go through
the village, and shake their heads
in silent rage. Everywhere we meet
gloomy faces, seldom do We see a
smile.
So, assailed on every side by
oaths, kicks and blows, we arrive at
the prison courtyard. Our pockets
are searched. We are told to write
home that we are very we'll treated;
If we don't, we are warned, the
consequences will be on our heads

Sonnenburg, and his aide, Bruening,
state that the prisoners have abso-
lutely no reason to complain, and

Political Prisoners
Club Formed to Fight
Against Prison Abuses

NEW YORK.-Under the auspices
of the National Committee for the
Defense of Political Prisoners, q
group Of ex-prisoners met recently
and decided to organize a Political
Prisoners Club.
The proposed program is as fol-
lows:
l. To coordinate the prisoner re-
lief Of the unions, International La
Dor Defense, etc. and to carry on
the fight for the rights Of political
prisoners.
2. To fight against the parole
rules which in practice deny released
prisoners the possibility of return
ing to their organizations and &C
tivity.
3. To fight against third degree
methods of police, corporal punish
ment in prisons, and for improved
prison conditions.
4. To expose current pseudo
scientific theories of criminology
which serve as shield for the po-
lice and prison bureaucracy to cover
up their abuse of and brutality to
the prisoners.
All those who have served in Jail
as a result of their labor activity
and all friends who want to help
this organization are asked to COM
municate with the Political Pris-
oners Club, 156 Fifth Ave, Room

THE July issue of the Communist,
l which is to serve as the basis Of
political discussions in the Conmu-
mist Party units, deals particularly
with the present strike wave, and
with an analysis of the position Of
the cleft" leaders at the recent ma
tiona1 convention of the Socialist
Party.
There are four important articles
on the strike situation. 1.-THE Great
West Coast Maritime Strike" by
Sam Darcy, district organizer Of
the Communist Party in the Cali
fornia district, gives the back
ground, problems and perspectives
Of the most important struggle the
workers of the United States are
now engaged in, the strike of 10000
marine and port workers on the Pa
cific Coast.
There are also instructive articles
on 1.-THE Lessons of the Toledo
Strike" by John Williamson, dis
trict organizer of the Party in
Ohio; 1.-THE Communist Party in
the Birmingham Strikes" by Nat
Ross; and the statement of the
Central Committee of the Commu-
mist Party on the situation in the
steel industry.
Especially valuable in Comrade
| Williamson's article on the historic
Toledo strike is the estimate of the
Party's work in the struggle, the
lessons to be drawn by the Party,
and the present tasks The Toledo
strike raised the strike wave to a
higher plane. A strike of a few
hundred workers in the Auto Lite
plant, which had been on for seven
weeks, was, shortly after mass pick

of a large section of the Toledo
working class, with SO local unions
voting for a general strike, and the

discrimination and union smashing
under the N. r. A., which became
a fight for the right to organize,
picket and strike, and which had a
highly political character, inspired
the workers throuhout the country.
Its effect is seen in the Milwaukee
strike, in the present situation in
San Francisco and in Minneapolis.
The fight of the Communist Party
and the militant workers, to pre-
vent betrayal by the A. F. of L.
leaders, and the mistakes and les
sons of this fight, are thoroughly
dealt with by Comrade William
