Portland Arrest Fla.
grant PrOvOcatiOns to
Smash Union
By DAWN LOYELACE

PORTLAND, Ore, Dec. 3.-Thirty-
four longshoremen, members of the
International Longshoremen's AsSo-
citation, have been indicted for
"felonious rioting" as part of the
campaign Of working class ac-
ton being waged by the employers
here.
The indictments grew out of one
of the most fragrant and determined
instances Of planned provocation
and frame-up since the Mooney
case. It brings to a climax of Fascist
intimidation the series Of violent
acts and provocations conducted by
employers and police throughout the
marine strike here.
James Conner, a member Of the
company union Columbia River
Longshoremen's ASSN" was shot
and killed on Aug. 20, after the
Luckenbach Line had deliberately
violated even the anti-working class
terms of the arbitration agreement,
discriminating against I. L. A. men,
and afte' the I. L, A. workers struck
on Luckenbach terminals.
A 'riot"-obviously provoked after
careful planning on the part of the
company-controlled scab union
ended with a number Of mysteri-
ously fred shots, killing Conner.
Wholesale arrests of I. L. A. men
took place, and they were held,
charged with murder. Five company
union men at the scene were proved
to have guns-and evidence will
show that the Scab group were vir-
tually an armed gang. Two Of them
Grammar and HermiSton - ad-
mitted firing their guns. Both
Grammar and Hermiston have been
released, freed of all charges. They
were arrested only after wave of
protest forced the hand of the Dis
trict Attorney.
The Grand Jury indictments
changed the charge to rioting
placed against "a Of the men ar
rested and held for murder orig
inally, as well as against II others
not implicated before. These in
dictments, following on the heels
Of the Criminal Syndicalism convic-
tons of militant Communists, are
an extension of open Fascist
methods, in which the Citizens
Emergency League, an armed Wig
ilante group organized by the Cham
Der of Commerce during the marine
strike, has played leading role.

L. S. Courts
Back Military
School Drill

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 8. -
The United states Supreme Court
today lent a helping hand to the
unflagging war preparations of the
Roosevelt government in the nations
educational institutions by ruling
that all students attending land
grant colleges must submit to mil
itary training. Their only alterna-
tive, according to the decision, is to
leave the school.
Land grant colleges, of which
there are many, are either public
colleges, or colleges founded by pri-
vate groups or religious denomina-
tons with the aid Of federal land
grants.
The ruling of the court was made
in the case of Albert w. Hamilton,
Jr., and w. Alonzo Reynolds, Uni
versity of California students, who
were refused exemption from mil
itary training by school authorities
in 1888. When the two refused to
take part in drill they were sus-
pended from the school.

Ralph Spooner
Not Connected
With the LID.

An item appearing on the first
page of the Daily Worker on Mo-
vember %, announcing that one
Ralph Spooner was in Jail in At
lanta, charged with "inciting to in
surrection," and was being defended
by the international Labor Defense,
was incorrect. The story was re-
ceived from Southern source and
appeared to be authentic, but, as
later learned, was not authorized.
The following statement has been
issued by the joint committee for
the defense Of the Atlanta cases, of
the International Labor Defense and
the International Workers Order:
I'VE wish to warn all individuals
and working-cl ass organizations
against the activities Of notorious
swindler, Ralph Spooner, who has
on many occasions solicited funds
supposedly for defense of class-war
~ soners, and who is now circular
izing an appeal for funds supposedly
~ y de4ense Of the recent victims
Of p5Ic3 persecution in Atlanta, Ga.
cor,". now in Jail himself on a
charge of blackmail, is also circular
izing on behalf of his own defense,
attempting to give the impression
that he is connected with the In
bernational Labor Defense.
"Spooner has been twice exposed
as a swindler and impostor. The first
time was two or three years ago
when he operated a news agency
in Washington, D. c. Under this
cover he would order radical litera-
ture without paying for it, About a
year ago he appeared in the Middle
West and West and behind the mask
of some Workers Educational Asso-
citation, soliciting dues, and again
ordering literature"

to Roosevelt

Labor organizations in Buffalo, N.
Y, are supporting the plans of the
Provisional Scottsboro-Davis Ener-
gency Committee for broad
United Front Conference next Sun
day, Dec. 9, at the Labor Educa-
tional Club, 760 Main Street, to de-
mand the freedom Of the nine
Scottsboro boys in Alabama and of
Alphonse Davis, local Negro worker,
convicted here on a similar rape"
frame-up.
Among other proposals to be made
to the conference will be the ar
rangement of monster mass meet
ing, to be held at one of the city
owned auditoriumS. Demands will
be made on the Common Council
for the free use of either the Broad
way Auditorium or the Elmwood
Music Hall.
In New York City, the Scottsboro
Tag Days last Saturday and Sun
day will be followed by series of
benefits to raise funds to push the
mass and legal fight for the boys.
The first of these will be held this
Wednesday evening at the Finnish
Workers Hall, is w. 126th Street.
At the same time protest resolu-
tions began flooding the U. s. Su-
preme Court and President Roose-
welt, demanding a reversal Of the
lynch death verdicts and the release
Of all nine Of the boys. The follow
ing resolution was sent to President
Roosevelt last week by Branch 10,
Workmen's Sick and Death Benefit
Fund of the U. s. a..
1--WE, the members of Branch IS,
Workmen's Sick and Death Benefit
Fund, numbering 300, assembled at
their monthly meeting, Nov. 10,
protest the frame-up Of the nine
Scottsboro boys and the attempt
being made to legally lynch them
in the electric chair. You, as chief
executive, are obliged to protect the
lives of American citizens against
outrage and violence. Precedent
has been set for your intervention
in this case. We demand of you
the immediate, unconditional, safe
release of the Scottsboro boys"
A similar resolution was sent by
the branch to the U. S. Supreme
Court.

with the state apparatus, of the
prevention of strikes and the en-
forcement of open shop wherever
possible.
The present sessions of the Ma
tional Industrial Council are d.
vided into sub-sections which were
to meet last night and this morning
to present a unified resolution to
the larger body, the National Asso-
citation of Manufacturers, Of which
1t is part.
In turn, the National Association
of Manufacturers, upon the con-
clusion Of its meeting, will begin
what promises to be the greatest
aggregation of industrialists in the
country, the Congress of American
Industry. which will meet for three
days following the sessions of the
National Association of Manufac-
turers. The Congress for American
Industry will comprise industrial
lists from every part of the coun-
try, including many important in
dustrialists not members of the N
A. M.
Thus, the open shop policies now
being discussed are not only the
policies of the NAM. but are be-
coming the policies of the entire
American capitalist class as repre-
sented in the Congress for Amer
lean Industry.
Mr.. Emery warned against the
attempt Of labor to enact the thirty
hour week without reduction in pay
On the subject of taxation, Mr.

He further urged that an income
tax be levied on small incomes
stating: However small the amour
paid, the levy at low rate woulc
arouse new sense of interest in thu
character of the tax"
He also urged that corporation
be exempt from heavy taxation
stating:
1T is reasonable to urge continued

Names of Dead
On Relief Rolls
In California

BELVEDERE GARDENS, Calf,
Dec. 3.-Blatant indications of pad
ding of the relief rolls with the
names of dead men was indicated
here recently when the county re-
lief Office sent letter to the former
home of Saul Goldenberg, who has
been dead for seven years, informing
him that he must work or be cut
off the direct relief rolls.
The post card addressed to Saul
Goldenberg, 1868 Winter Street, here
said:
You are hereby directed to report
to the Ascot Community Garden
Plot at Valley Boulevard, east of
Ascot Speedway, on Monday, Nov.
IL, 1884 at 8 am.
your failure TO report will indicate
that you no longer need assistance,
and therefore your case will be
closed Immediately"

government of laws and not of
men,"
Open Shop Policy
Mr.. Emery further heralded the
coming open shop drive by repeating
with approval Donald Richberg's
Interpretation of the Houde decision
of the Labor Board providing for
majority representation in factories
and shops. Quoting Mr.. Richberg,
Mr.. Emery said;
mo one has been given any au-
thority under this law, and I doubt
whether anybody could be given the
authority to herd all employees or
any number Of employees into vot-
ing unit and then to compel them to
select their representatives by a
majority vote. The right of self
organization certainly includes the
right of each man to decide for him
self with what men he desires to be
associated"
Following this line of open shop
Mr.. Emery suggested for discussion
the following actions to be taken
with regard to trade unions: That
they have equal liability for the
acts of agents; that their funds be
subjected to such regulation as ito
protect the funds against mis-appro-
priation or use for illegal purposes, y
the illegal purposes" obviously be-
ing strikes against labor board de-
ciSionS.
Thus, this morning, the closed
preliminary session of the National
Industrial Council, which will pre-
sent its recommendations to the Me-
tional Manufacturers Association
within the next day or two, has
already outlined full program fol
the execution Of major open shop
offensive against labor, the greatest
open shop offensive in the last
decade.
Mr.. Emery, was speech by Mr.
Supplementing the remarks oil
John G. Gall, Associate Counsel Of
the National Association of Manu-
facturers who has just returned
from an eight-week survey of labor
relations in Europe. Mr.. Gall, speak
ing early in the afternoon, referred
to the practice of British capitalism
wherein it tends to exact of its
labor unions a high degree of &C.
countability"
From these remarks it is obvious
that the Industrial Council will rec
ommend to the National Association
of Manufacturers and to the Roose-
welt government a program of in
creasing merging OF the trade unions

Miners Face
Court Dec. 10

ROSLYN, Wash, Dec. 3.-The
trial of the Roslyn riot" cases,
growing out of the Roslyn- CleElum
coal miners strike last April, will
begin Dec. 10, it has been an
nounced in Ellensburg.
Although Prosecutor Spencer
Short has had these cases post
poned three times, until after cleo
tions we're over. still he has been
badly beaten in every court room
contest.
Lately Short has been seen Wis
ting frequently with Jack Lewis,
mine foreman. 1t seems that since
he can't keep the support of the
voters he is going to get in good
with the mine owners by pushing
these cases.
Workers should Immediately send
protests to Prosecutor Spencer Short
and to Judge MCGUIRE, Ellensburg,
Washington.
KELSO, Wash, Dec. 3.--Protests
from all over the Northwest and
from hundreds of local residents
who have signed the petition for
dismissal of the cases have forced
Prosecuting Attorney G. c. Hallin
to postpone the trials of Marx Far
rar and Arne Pisila on criminal
syndicalism charges until the next
term of court.
This is the easy way out for
Hallin, who has been defeated for
reelection, and will not have to
try the cases.
Red Drive on Court Upset" wa;
the headline on an article in the
Kelsonian- Tribune last week tell
ing of the failure Of the protests
to have the desired effect because
the cases we're postponed. 1t con-
Guided by saying that Prosecutor
Hallin and Judge j. E. Stone "have
received a multitude of protests
from over the Northwest demand
ing that the cases be dropped"
The local International Labor De-
tense Committee is continuing the
drive for signatures on the petitions
for dismissal of the charges, ex-
pecting to get over 1000 before
taking them to the papers and to
judge and prosecutor. They will
also take the petitions to the new
prosecutor elect, Shirley March.
The relief officials have been
compelled to place back on the rolls
the four bondsmen for Farrar and
Pisila, who we're cut off at the
prosecutors request. Immediately
a committee went to Olympia to
protest, and secured a reversal of
the order.
