national Labor DetenSel
In Sacramento, California, 18
workers leaders are facing the
courts on a charge of criminal
syndicalism. Their crime was or
ganizing workers in a fight for bet
ter conditions which admittedly
won for them considerable improve
ment.
The trial now going on in Sacra-
mento is Of the utmost importance
to the whole working class move
ment in America.
In Congress, four federal sedition
bills, more repressive than any state
measures now in force. have been
introduced. along with fourteen
measures especially directed against
the foreign-h0rn IN California. q
series Of state bills has been intro
duced to outlaw practically every
form Of working class activity. In
other states, such as Georgia, and
Washington, such bills have also
been introduced,
Tns eyes Of the Roosevelt N.R.A.
administration, are on Sacramento,
California. This is thsir test case.
Labor Backs Defense
The whole working class move
ment IN California is being organ
lied solidly behind the defense of
the eighteen. Groups. such as tha
EPIC. and the Utopian Societies.
as well as scores of American Fed
GRAFTON Of Labor lccals. Socialist
Party branches. are being BROUGHT
into this united front Of defense.
Leo Gallagher, the courageous
international Labor Defense attor-
neg in the Reiohstag fire trial. in
the Mooney case, in the "sedition'
case of A E Smith. head of the
Canadian Labor Defense League. is
carrying through q militant line of
defense of the trade union and
revolutionary movement in the
Sacramento courtroom.
Similarly. throughout the United
States, it is necessary to rally the
broadest masses behind the fight for
the Sacramento eighteen. for the re-

N. Y. EXCHANGE
WILL VOTE ON
AMENDMENT

NEW YORK, Sept. 18 GN.s).
Considerable opposition has de-
veloped within the New York
Stock Exchange against the pro.
posed amendment to the consti.
tuition, which would give the com.
mittee on admissions power to ex.
tend to an officer of the exchange
or one Of its affiliates the Prov.
lege Of having a non-member
partner transact business for him
on the trading floor. The pro.
posal will be voted on by mem.
bers before September 25.
A number of members have de.
clared their intention of voting
against the acceptance, but one
broker said that as many as 40
have already voted for it and de-
clared the amendment would pass
easily.
Still other members declared
that any ballots cast against the

COTTON GAINS
EXTENDED

NEW YORK, Sept. 18 G.N.S).
NJ cotton market extended its
gains in later trading today as the
continued Xlreat of war led to
heavy foreign buying here and
sent Liverpool cables up sharply,
the domestic markets advance, re-
flecting to an extent, the improve
ment in foreign cables.
The improvement in spot de-
mand was a significant factor in
the higher movemnt. The AAA'S
statement yesterday that the loan
difference would apply to those
who still held their cotton in the
pool by JNly of next year, tended
to create confidence.
Towards noon the market was
steady at approximate high levels
for the day although heavy profit
taking in wheat threatened to
communicate itself to cotton. De-
cember was quoted at 1857 up %,
March 1915 up 20, May 1898 up
10, and July 1896 up 81 points.

REFERENDUM
FORD.C.
BY A. ]. DRISCOLL
Citizens Associations Editor

ClLlzenS ASSOClaLiOHS CuiSOL
Acting for the association as
whole, power conferred by its
constitution and bylaws, the
executive committee of Burleith
Citizens Association, meeting in
Gordon Junior High School, in
dorSed the bill sponsored by
Commissioner George E. Allen
providing for an advisory refer
endum. The bill provides that
voters must not be registered in
other places.
The committee commended
the bill as a step toward ultl-
mate national representation
and said it will help to educate
in civic responsibilities those
now denied the right of suffrage.
Copies of the resolution were
ordered sent to the local sui.
frage committee of the Fedora
ton of Citizens Associations. The
bill is expected to reach Con-
gress during the first week Of
the next session.
There is a divided opinion on
the bill among the citizens as
sociations, many contend these
local groups provide ample means
for the Commissioners to seek
advice on civic matters, with
out setting up expensive ma
chinery to take referenda that
would not be binding but simply
advisory. Other associations
agree with the Burleith group.
Representative Mary T. Norton,
chairman Of the House District
Committee. has announced she
would introduce at the coming
session Of Congress a bill to
legalize race horse gambling in
the District. This bill was de-
feated last session through the
efforts of the Federation of Citi-
bens Associations and unit bodies.
Along with the question Of how
the Commissioners are going to
obtain additional tax funds to
meet an increase in the District
budget scheduled for 1887, this
will furnish material for organ
lied citizenry to debate after the
Christmas holiday vacations.
Many associations decided to OBJ
serve in postponing their monthly
meetings.
