ST. PAUL. Feb. 81 CUP .-Des-
perately needy farmers from the
arid plains of Western Minnesota
brought three starving, hollow-e eyed
animals to the door Of the state
capitol today to prove to legislators
that they must have food immedi-

Within a few hours after a group
of farmers had brought three gaunt
animals to the steps of the state
house to emphasize the seriousness
of their plight, a bill providing inn
mediate appropriation of $500, 900
for feed was introduced in the
senate, passed by a unanimous vote
and rushed to the House.
The farmers rode into st. Paul
last night in a cattle truck. In the

Judge Calls IA Void
and Unconstitutional
Attacks Union

WILMINGTON, Del, Feb. 27.-
Federal Judge John P. Nields' de-
cision holding Section IA of the
n r. A. "unconstitutiona and
void" as applied to the Weirton Co..
upholds all terroristic acts of the
Weir Steel Co. company union at
Weirton, w. Va, and attacks the
Amalgamated Association of Iron,
Steel and Tin Workers "a. F. of L..
The Weir Co. is a subsidiary of the
National Steel Corporation. This
company made net profit Of over
six million dollars in 1884, as COM
pared to a net profit of S2,812, 407 in
1888, more than doubling its net
profit under the company union
regime.
The decision of the federal cir
cult court judge denied the applica-
ton of the government for an in
junction to force an election super
vised by the National Labor Board,
in the company plants supervised
by the MIRA. The company forced
its employees to join the company
union on pain of dismissal.
Company Union Upheld
Regarding the company union,
Nields stated that it proved effec-
tive and satisfactory" He claimed
that the fact that the company
union representative are paid an
extra $25 a month by the company
did not show that the management
had influenced decisions of the
company union, characterizing
these company officials as fearless
and independent"
The grounds on which Nields de-
clared Section IA of N. r. A. lille
gal were that the steel company
does not manufacture goods for in
terstate commerce, that it turns out
product different from the raw
material taken in Most industries
would come under this decision. if
1t is upheld by the U. S. Supreme
Court, to which it will be appealed.
The decision comes at the mo-
ment when the Amalgamated AS

SACRAMENTO, Calf, Feb. 81
The collapse of the framed-up tes-

PENDANTS being tried here on a
charge of violating the California
criminal syndicalism law yesterday
forced the court to drop count five
of the indictment in regard to all
the defendants, and count one for
four of the defendants, Lorrine
Norman, Harry Colentz, William
Huffine and Jack Warwick.
Count five charged the de-
PENDANTS with overt acts of violence
and advocacy of individual violence
and force in the strike struggles of
vegetable pickers and agricultural
laborers here last year. Count one
pertains to the teaching of Com
munism. This count is continued
against Albert Hougardy, section
organizer of the Communist Party.
and ten other defendants.
Leo L. Gallagher, International
Labor Defense attorney, had moved
that both counts be dropped against
all of the defendants for lack of
evidence by the prosecution to sub
stantiate its charges.
A new vicious lie given to the
local press, by McAllister, claiming
that the Communist Party has
given orders to exact revenge on
the stool-pigeons who testified for
the prosecution, is seen here as the
forerunner of possible new frame
up to strengthen the collapsing edi-
flee of the prosecutions case.
Most of yesterdays session was
occupied with testimony by Sam
Darcy, Communist candidate for
Governor of California in the re-
cent elections, on the program of
the Communist Party, and its re-
lentless opposition to individual acts
of violence. The defense method

n. r. A. Effect on
Small Business
DAILY Worker Washington Bursau)

WASHINGTON. D. c., Feb. IT.
A campaign to enact direct relief
appropriation and temporarily for
get about the work relief proposal
with its bitterly controverted pre-
vailing wage" amendment gathered
storm today However. Roosevelt
spokesman still indicated that they
are waiting for the President to
take the responsibility for the next
move in the Administrations drive
to clear the way for new wage-cuts
by slashing work-relief pay.
Chairman Glass of the Senate
Appropriations Committee told your
correspondent he is considering
separating" relief from the work
relief proposal but even this
staunch defender Of the Roosevelt
s50-a-month security wage" added
The President put stop to the
enactment of the measure-it's up
to him to start it again"
As the work-relief bill stood thus
deadlocked, the Senate was in recess,
the House dawdled with a depart
mental appropriation. and the legis-
lators generally fixed their attention
on the Federal Court decision hold
ing the famous Section Ia the

the MIRA, unconstitutional.

In this connection Senators Pat

phasized, however. that their object
is to rebuild" NR.A-Which means
to rebuild worker illusions in the
understanding, trust-busting New
Deal mechanism.
The authoritative bargaining de-
cision by Judge John P. Nields, Of
Wilmington, Del. in the famous
Weirton Steel case, upheld the COM
pany union as a perfectly satisfac-
tory organization for collective bar
gaining" despite the fact that the
company paid the "employe repre-
sentatives" SOS a month.
The Department of Justice, which
instituted the suit to help to pre-
vent strike by the steel workers,
said it probably" would appeal the
decision of the Supreme Court This
would merely mean further court
dallying in further effort to re-
build illusions.
