Mini, who was under suspension
from the Communist Party at the
time Of his arrest, denounces the
Party in his stool pigeon testimony
and gives an utterly distorted in

question of the revolutionary over

the lies of red-baiting employers
and the prosecution that Cemnu-

although the whole world knows
that Communists are relentlessly
opposed to individual acts Of ter

program of organizing the working

The letter enclosed to the strikers
was under the caption, How about

things more convincing, an inscrip-

W. G. Powlesland, Of the Black

conducting the strike, announced
that it has collected twe-thirds of
the letters sent out by the company.
1t was discovered that workers fired

Scabs Disarmed
By Picket Group
in Foundry Strike

ALBERT LEA, MINI, Feb. 8.
-Pickets at the Potters Foundry
seized the weapons of deputized
scabS and drove them out the
fuondry, driving away the sheriff
and the scabs, on the first day of
their strike. Sheriff Meyers, of
Freedom County, had armed the
scabs with rubber hose and
wooden clubs Since the scabs
were driven off no attempt was
made to open the plant.
A number of strikers have
been arrested. The strike was
started by the firing of members
of the Independent Unions of
All workers, in violation of an
agreement with the union.
A heavy line is now guarding
the plant.
After the arrest of the strik-
ers, a protest parade marched to
the Jail and through the business
section Of the town.

Hearst has his home and most Of

to New York to actively enter into

absolutely no chance for public Of

Coming to New York, Hearst,

seven million dollars. Almost i'm

shows it was indissolubly linked up
with Hearsts desire to extend his
vast estate and mine holdings in
Mexico and to help his Wall Street
associates to further enslave the
toilers Of that bordering country.
Imperialist War Monger
And just as he is today crusading
against Americas militant workers,
Hearst was also the spokesman of
Wall Street in 1897 when the money
lords conspired to grab for exploita-
ton the rich lands OF Cuba and the
Philippine Islands.
At this point 1t would be well to
go into some details concerning
Hearst's career-a career dotted
thickly with the most brazen at
tacks upon the American people by
one who has constantly posed as
their friend and champion.
Today Hearst maintains several
highly expensive "hide-out" in New
York. He owns considerable real
estate in the metropolis, including
most of the property in the Column
bus Circle section.
In California, in which State he
is one of the largest owners of
property, he lives at his immense
San Simeon estate. This estate, with
towers and museums, and all kinds
of relics, is today perhaps the most
expensive and palatial in the entire
United States. The Hearst San ST.
neon estate covers 400 square miles
and runs fifty miles along the edge
of the Pacific Ocean.
Unsavory Boyhood
1t was in California that Hearst
began his career of infamy and
shame. Hearst was born in this
State 1t appeared, however, that in
his very boyhood, he built up for
himself very questionable reputa-
ton. This reputation was such that
his wealthy father, the former
United states S enator George
Hearst, found it necessary to send
the son away to New England for
his schooling. But young Hearst did
not change his ways while away
from home.
AS a result young Hearst, despite
the powerful influ ence of his
wealthy father, was expelled from
st. Pauls School in New England as
not a fit associate for the other
boys and for the good of the
school" Senator Hearst later got his
son enrolled at fair and exclusive"
Harvard. But Harvard refused to
keep him. William Randolph Hearst
here, too, was expelled for the good
of the school," It was then that the
elder Hearst turned over to William
Randolph the San Francisco Ex-
aniner.
