At All Labor
By Michael Quinn
Especial to the Daily Morkerl

SACRAMENTO, Cal, Jan. 23.-
With the introduction by the pros
ecution today of evidence purport-
ing to show financial contributions
by James Cagney and other movie
stars for strikers relief in the I'm
perial Valley agricultural strike last
summer, it became more and more
clear that the trial of 10 workers
here under the California criminal
syndicalism law is directed against
the entire working class, and aimed
to crush the rising struggles against
wage cuts, unemployment. starva-
ton and the right of workers to
organize
The prosecution, introducing a
letter allegedly written by Ella Win
ter to Caroline Decker, a defendant,
dealing with the collection of relief
funds, implied that Cagney and
other contributors to the strikers
relief fund, were supporting "sedi-
tiouS activities against the govern
ment. Police, who seized the letter
last summer during their raids on
workers headquarters at the time
of the maritime strike, have accused
Cagney and other stars of helping
to finance Communist activities"
introduced as evidence today were
leaflets, bulletins, applications for
membership in the Communist
Party, and membership cards, clear
ly indicating that the defendants
are on trial for membership in the

Defense Group
Recalls Death
OF K atovis

Vigorous defense of the rights
of the toiling population to strike
and picket is the most fitting
memorial to Steve Katovis, militant
working class fighter against ex-
ploitation and oppression"
This was the statement issued
yesterday by the New York District
of the International Labor Defense
and the Food Workers Industrial
Union on the fifth anniversary of
the death of the New York Com
munist worker who was murdered
by police gun on picket line.
Katovis, one of the first victims
of the boss terror unleashed under
the crisis which has gripped the
vitals Of American capitalism since
1929, died on Jan. "a, 1880, Of bull
let wounds received from the guns
of policemen, who assaulted a picket
line of the Food Workers Industrial
Union at 161st st. and Union Ave,

Steve KatoviS died in Lincoln
Hospital, where he was held a pris-
oner, with cops constantly lowering
about his narrow cot, harassing the
wounded fighter of the working
class, barring his visitors or limit
ing their time to two minutes, deny
ing him adequate medical attention.
His last words, uttered to one of
his comrades, were:
Tell the others outside to keep
up the fight - organize the work.
ers!"
So Steve Katovis died, his last
breath devoted to the cause of the
working class, for whose interests
he had ceaselessly fought ever since
he had joined the Communist Party
in 1921, to become one of the van
guard of the working class, COM
posed of the most devoted, enlight-
ened and militant members of his
class.

mitted that as ministers in the
Karolyi government they recognized
the mass support behind the Soviet

skilfull engineering OF the defense
by Rakosi himself. partly through
the clumsy maneuvers of the fas-

fend its rule Of terrorism, is at
tracing more and more interna-

his life in this obvious frame-ut,
Rakosi IS coming forward as d f-en
and sturdy defender of all the
working masses of Hungary in their
resentment against fascist rule.

you collectively yield SO easily to

uncomfortably.

at that time?" the presiding justice
inquired.
The witness answered that his
mind wasn't very clear on that
point: so many intelligent people
didn't know what violence would
be provoked through Bolshevism. :"
