the crushing of fasciSm in Germany.
Reports concerning the incidents
which took place in the Bender

firmed today through the published
observations of members Of a for

A number Of higher leaders Of the
S. S. (Schutz StaffeD had agreed
upon the plan to storm the Ministry
of the Reichswehr on the night of
Dec. 2l-22, when pre-arranged
conference was taking place between
Reichswehr Minister Blomberg and
the chief industrialists of Germany.
The S. S. leaders concerned were
una nimous in considering that this
conference would mark q further
step in the direction of the COM
plete dissolution o. the Special
Guards. Especially hated in their
eyes was Blombsrg, in whom they
saw the spokesman Of heavy in
dustry, the supposed opponent of
the S. S.
The S. S. leaders were to have as

troops and seize all generals of the
Reichswehr, including Blomberg. 1t
was furthermore provided that Goe-

4TH TEXTILE
MILL STRUCK
Workers Walk Out in
Protest Against
Martial Law

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Jan. a.
In answer to the sending of the
National Guard to protect scabs in
the Rossville, Ga, plant of the
Richmond Hosiery Mill, and dec
laration of martial law, another
mill, the Daisy unit of the COM
pany, came out on strike today.
Only 20, chiefly foremen and execu-
tives, went through the picket line
to report to work, following strike
vote taken at union meeting Mon
day evening. Three hundred are
employed in the day shift of the
Daisy plant.
With the Daisy plant on strike,
the total of the company's plants
pulled out thus far is brought to
four. The Richmond, Soddy and
Arrowhead plants are the three
others already out.
A conference between represent
tatives of the American Federation
of Hosiery Workers and of the
Richmond Hosiery Company on
Monday broke off without any
agreement. The workers are de-
termined not to retreat from their
demands that all in the four plants
must return to work without the
ten per cent wage cut announced
by the company, which was to be-
gin with the new year.
Workers of departments in the
Richmond Hosiery Mill which are
not affected by the announced wage
cut, and who were not called on
strike, are likewise coming out. On
Monday, while $50 Guardsmen sur
rounded the plant and charged the
1000 workers jeering them, group
of the spinning department.
marched out, declaring that they
would not work under armed pro-
lection. They were received with
wild cheering by the striking work
ers. Sixty workers, arrested during
Mondays battle with the National
Guardsmen, we're taken to con-
centration camp established at At
lanta. General Camp, in charge of
the troops in Rossville, which is on
the Georgia side of the State line,

AID GRAMSCI
AND RAkOSI
Workers Will Attend
Two Mass Meetings
in New York

Two huge mass meetings, to be
held in support of Matthias Rakosi
and Antonio Gramsci. two of the
worlds famous and beloved class
war prisoners, will take place
within few days.
In extreme peril of openly being
railroaded to his death, the great
leader of the Hungarian working
class, Matthias Rskosi, will be tried
for his life next Monday by "spe-
cial' fascist court on the clumsy
and trumped-up charge of having
committed 81 murders and melted
II other murders. The Hungarian
Bureau of the Communist Party of
the United States, which Tuesday
received the hurried news of Ra-
kosi's impending trial, Immediately
issued statement which empha-
sized that the Hungarian bour-
geoisie will have not the slightest
scruple in executing the brilliant
anti-fascist, who has already been
imprisoned in the dungeons of
Hungary for over eight and a half
years.
The Soviet government, 1t was
learned today, had made strenuous
efforts to exchange Rakosi and bring
him to the Soviet Union, but the
Goemboes regime refused to yield
its prisoner. The general organ
izer and leader of the anti-fascist
forces in Hungary must be de-
stroyed, the Horthy dictatorship
declares.
The meeting to save Rakosi's life
will take place Sunday at tine Labor
Temple, 243 East 84th Street, at
2:3O p. m. Max Bedacht, national
secretary of the International
Workers Order, will be the princi-
pal speaker. The Hungarian Bureau
stresses that If Rakosi is to be
rescued from certain death, action
on the part of the American work
ers must begin Immediately. and all
Hungarian consulates in the United
States must be picketed by as large
numbers as possible.
The release of Antonio Gramsci.
long imprisoned leader of the Ital-
ian Communist Party, who was set
free by Mussolini under the pres
sure of workers and intellectuals'
protests throughout the world, will
be celebrated at Irving Plaza, Irv-
ing Place and 18th Street, Wednes-
day, January 16, at 8 p. m. The
meeting, under the auspices of the
New York District, Communist
Party the Italian Federation of
Workers Centers, and the Interna-
tional Labor Defense, will demand
that the conditions and sur
veillance" following Gramsci's free
dom be lifted and that he be al
lowed to leave the country.
! The main speakers will be Bob
Minor, member of the Central
Committee of the Communist
Party, Richard B. Moore of the I.
L. D., Tito Nuncio of the Italian
Federation, and the leading Ital-
ian Socialist, Bertelli.

SACRAMENTO, Calf. Jan. a.
Red batting District Attorney Nc
Allister, repudiated by the voters in
the recent elections was forced out
Of the prosecution of the 10 worker
defendants charged here with viola
ton of the California criminal syn
dicalist law.
1t was McAllister who, acting
under the directions Of local en-
ployers and their vigilante commit
tee designed the frame-up of the
defendants, and later attempted to
add a few extra frills by the farcial
kidnapping" of State witness
several months ago, and the more
recent claims that red threats
had been sent to himself and one
of the jurors.
The forcing out of McAllister is
an important partial victory for the
defense, and attests to the effective
ness of the protests and sympathetic
organizations in all parts of the
country.
Otis D. Babcock, the new District
Attorney, is to take charge of the
prosecution, although Babcock him
self during his campaign for cleo
tion charged MeAllisteF with being
hostile to labor, because of his
frame-up and threats to prosecute
the 10 defendants.
Babcock today asked for a post
ponement of the trial to Jan. Is in
order to study" the evidence.
Judge Dial M. Lennon granted his
request over the vigorous objec-
tions of Leo Gallagher, Interna-
tional Labor Defense attorney. The
Judge, however, overruled the de-
Tense motion that new jury be
empanelled, since the members of
the present jury had not been ques-
toned as to their probable social or
business relations with the new dis
trict attorney.
The defendants renewed their
complaints to the court today
against the bad food given them In
Jail. general conditions and neglect
to provide medical attention. The
prison doctor seldom visits them,
they declared, and when he does he
is always drunk.
Gallagher demanded a proper in
depreciation of the bail provision
for property bail double that OF the
cash bail of $4,000 demanded for
each defendant. The court has
given the peculiar mathematical
ruling that double the cash bail
means $4,000 in property bonds,
Gallagher's motion is under ad-
visement.
The courtroom was jammed to-
day with workers, liberals and writ
ers. who came from all parts OF
the state to express their firm soli-
darity with the defendants. A broad
united front is being forged with
Epic groups, Socialist unions, clubs,
and many other groups participant
ing. Plans have been announced to
arrange for auto caravans to visit
the court from all parts of the state
as soon as the trial starts.
The International Labor Defense
is appealing for a flood OF protests
to the new district attorney, Otis d.
Babcock, demanding the dropping
of the framed-up charges, the re-
lease of the defendants. and the re-
peal of the anti-working class Grim

complete corruption is not easily
discovered, nor is it amenable to

The verbatim testimony of the
trial is an excellent case in point
One could expect that steno-
graphic report of what actually was
