IL Are Framed
Following Raid
On LID. Meet
Burgess of Ambridge
Threatens Violence
To Members

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Aug. 49,
Declaring that the next time they
were caught meeting in Ambridge,
members of the International La
Dor Defense would be brought to
the police station in pieces, +"
Burgess Csul, open tool of the j, &
L. Steel Corporation. fined each Of
eleven workers S. on charges Of
disorderly conduct.
The eleven workers had been ar
rested on August End in the Sokol
Hall where they were holding a
regular branch meeting of the
LID. The trial of the eleven work
ers held on August 14th was clear
case Of persecution and intimidation
in order to break up the defense
organization which h as grown
strong and powerful since the muir
derous attack on the picket line of
striking steel workers last October.
Since that time the I. L. D. has
grown from thirty-f1ve to one hun
dred members and only recently
held the first mass meeting in Am
bridge since the steel strike terror,
with 800 workers present.
The raid upon the LID. branch
meeting came the day after August
LIST, when a mass meeting of AM
bridge workers against war and
fascism was broken up by the Bur-
CESS and the police after the Bur-
CESS himself had issued the permit
the same day for the meeting.
The first date set for the hearing
was almost a week after the raid,
August 9Th. Attorneys for the LID.
were told that the charges against
the arrested workers was unlawful
assembly. An investigation disclosed
that there was no ordinance in the
city OF Ambridge regarding permits
for indoor meetings for any duly
constituted organization.
When the hearing took place the
defendants and attorneys who had
prepared to defend the case on the
basis of unlawful assembly we're
suddenly confronted with the dis
orderly conduct charge.
The conviction against these
workers is being appealed to the
County Court at Beaver. All work
ers' organizations are requested to
Immediately send resolutions de-
manding the release of these eleven
workers to the judge of County
Court, Beaver, Pa.

LID. in Portland Wins
Fight for Literature
To ] allied Workers

PORTLAND, Ore, Aug. 10. = For
the past four weeks the imprisoned
seamen ana those imprisoned on
criminal syndicalism charges in the
county jail have not been able to
receive literature that would help
them in their cases.
The type of literature prevalent
in the jails-love stories, detective
and murder mysteries, does not
have any connection with their
cases and they are demanding
working class magazines and
papers, which the police have used
as the basis for their arrests, in
order that they may study their
defense.
A committee Of seven from the
International Labor Defense went
TO Sheriff Pratt demanding that
such literature be allowed the pris-
oners and forced the sheriff to adj
nit that any literature that goes
through the mails cannot be refused
prisoners.

the Astoria worker whose deporta-
ton has been blocked for the last
three and a half years through the
efforts Of the International Labor
Defense. The defen<2 succeeded in

Mannisto, native of Finland,
was arrested on charge Of Grim
inal syndicahsm when government
officers raided the Finnish paper,
Toveri, more than three and a half
years ago in Astoria.
Mannisto's deportation was being
hurried because of the impending
strike situation in Astoria in order
to intimidsre those intending to
strike. The immigration Depart
ment has used this hurry-up action
many times during strike condi-
tons, especially during the recent
waterfront strike, when they have
attempted to deport foreign-born
strikers. Through the efforts of the
international Labor Defense such
action has been blocked.
