Anti-Na Law
A Dead Letter
In New Jersey
BY Allen Johnson

PENNINGTON, N. j., Jan. g.
While the main body of the State
Of New Jerseys legal apparatus is
involved in the attempt to convict
Bruno Richard Hauptmann of kid
mapping - without dragging certain
well-known figures into the crime
the Nazis throughout the State are
being permitted to function more
openly than before despite a State
law prohibiting their propaganda.
Last year, under the pressure of
wealthy Jews who protested the
manhandling of a Jersey City rabbi
by local Nazis, the State Legislature
made it a crime punishable by a
two-year Jail sentence to distribute
Nazi literature. The anti-Nazi
statute, however, has been allowed
to slip into the limbo of forgotten
lore while the terror against mill
tant workers has increased. Nazis
are more active in New Jersey than
they have ever been. One of their
largest groups meets in the shadow
of the State Capitol in Trenton,
twenty miles away.
When Bruno Hauptmann takes
the stand in his own defense today
he will have to iron out the more
than 100 contradictions in the vari-
Gus stories he has told concerning
the $14,600 in Lindbergh ransom
money found in his Bronx home
at the time Of his arrest.
Instead Of attempting to shatter
the chan Of circumstantial evidence
which the State has forged against
him, Hauptmann will probably stick
to his original story that the money
was given" to him by Isidor Fisch,
a Jewish furrier who died in poverty
in Germany last year, and leave
the technical defense to his ex-
pensive corps of defense counsel.
Furrier Appears Innocent
The furrier, however, has not
been connected with either the kid
MAPPING or murder although, there
is some possibility that he may
have been an accomplice of Haupt-
thatmann's in series of shady fur
transactions. The only evidence
that connects FiSch to the crime is
that his sudden death in Germany
was believed by several hospital Of
ficials there to have been caused by
an unnatural cause, probably
poison. Since two others = Violet
Sharpe and Ollie Whately-named
in the crime died suddenly and
under suspicious circumstances,
there is some basis in fact for be-
lieving that those responsible for
the kidnapping may have had some
thing to do with all three deaths.

IA THAT kind of people are we anyway? Are we so
NV bound down by legal complications that Justice is
entirely out of reach?
In daily papers everywhere we read that Communstic
activities have been extended to our public schools and
colleges, and the details of of the principles
mended by these violent disciples of Boshevism
boodcurdling.
Some of these fanatics advocate the revolutionary
procedure that turned Russia into human slaughter
house. with dead bodies piled in the streets with torture
and death-sometimes Of the most shocking character
to build up subsistence beyond the average for himself
and family.
Does any citizen of the United States want to risk fac
ing such appalling conditions? If not then it is duty
definitely to separate this particular brand of Com
munism from that which is said to uphold own demo-
cratic principles.
Doubtless many good American citizens are being de-
ceived by this innocent brand of Communism and
thereby encouraging the violent agtators in favor of
wholesale murder.
We have been shocked beyond expression by report
that plans made to kdnap the President and
his entire cabinet though have heard of no
being adopted to punish those guilty.
Matthew Wol third vice president of the American
Federation of Labor recently called upon Representative
John w. Mccormack, chairman of the Congressional
Committee Un-Amercan Activities to have this par
tcular group of Investigators give attention to the
Communistic activities in American colleges.
Lawabidng citizens of this country demand that
definite action be taken in this menacing situation Here
is organization fast growing in size whose avowed
object is wholesale murder
Do intend to lie down and take whatever comes to
without effort to combat this to the life Of
the nation? Is it necessary for to make addi
Honal laws to protect US in this emergency?

National Board Minneapolis
Acts to Avert Worker Faces
Auto Strike Framed Charge

MINNEAPOLIS, MINI, Jan. "a
Attempts to send a 19-year-old
truck driver to prison for 20 years
in connection with the death OF
c. Arthur Lyman, a wealthy special
deputy, in the truck drivers strike
in May, 1884, received its first set
back Monday morning when wit
ness for the prosecution testified
that Phillip Scott, charged with
manslaughter in the first degree,
was not the one who struck Lyman.
1t was also revealed by Sheriff
John Wahl that 400 deputies had
been engaged by the sheriff's office.
They were given badges and clubs,
but the sheriff did not know where
the clubs came from nor where the
badges came from. Asked whether
the Citizens Alliance or the Law
and Order League had furnished
them, Sheriff Wahl replied that he
did not know. However, the part
that these two labor-hating or
CARNATIONS are taking was revealed
by a witness for the State, w. H.
Cole, manufacturers representa-
tive, who said that the first ones
to approach him to testify in the
case was the Law and Order
League.
Efforts of the attorneys for Scott
to bring out the part that is being
played by the employers organiza-
tons in the framing of Scott was
blocked by Judge Selover, who
stated sharply that the State is
the one who is prosecuting this
case" But SO far "the State" has
done nothing about the cold
blooded murder by the police Of
two picketers
The testimony of the State wit
nesses so far is that Lyman, who
was president and manager of
the American Ball Company of
Minneapolis, labor driving outfit,
volunteered to serve as deputy
without pay. Another witness who
is engaged in the insurance bust
ness testified that he likewise vol
unteered his services, and that he
and Lyman started toward a
group" of pickets that were coming
into the wholesale market and that
thereafter he was put in an am
buiance and later Lyman, who died
from his injuries. Contradictory
evidence was given by the witnesses
for the State, Captain Jensen
claiming that one of the deputies,
whom the State attempted to iden-
tify as Lyman, was hit with a pipe
while he was on the ground.
whereas another witness testified
that Lyman was hit only while en-
gagged in a fight with picketers.

who have never worked in their
lives, are blOated with riches!
The Communists fight for a new
social order where no one shall eat
who does not work, where exploita-
ton of workers by capitalist owners
will be abolished forever.
The Communists fight for imme-
diate cash relief for all unemployed
for Federal unemployment insur-
anee to be paid by the government
and the employers, by the rich! &c.
It is this that terrifies Macfadder
and his millionaire and Millionaire
associates, who are afraid to lose
their blood soaked profitsI
MACFADDEN openly announces
III that his fascist murder is a pre-
Jude to another world war. He
shouts brutally:
"The order recently given to
many policemen in our cities to
shoot first and question after
wards is good policy in dire
emergency. Death to traitors
should be our slogan from now on.
At any minute this nation is likely
to be forced into a fight for its
life. Russla's czarlike Communist
government knows how to handle
traitors"
This tells lis q good deal.
It tells us that Wall Street and
Roosevelt are now planning to raise
the lynch cry against all militant
workers higher and higher as prepa-
ration for war. It tells us that when
this war breaks out the country will
be swept by wave Of fascist terror

If man-eating tiger were loose in any community
would consider the advisabty of making law before
we endeayored to stop his progress?
We are victims Of lawmaking mania. We do not ask
any more whether anything is just or unjust. The
question is, is it lawful?
Every patriotic levelheaded citizen is sick and tired
beyond measure Of this kowtowing to legislative detail
When human man-eating tigers within our midst,
when they have definitely avowed their bloodthirsty
objects when there is difficulty in recognizing their
character, why bubble in such situation?
Avowed public enemies with wholesale murder in view
should be made harmless as quickly possible. And
there is only way to make this doubly
certain and that is the death penalty!
And though may smile at the fanatcism of the
soapbox orator. when these same principles are set forth
in attractive detail to the youths in the formative period
in public schools the situation is entirely different
We have been entirely too lax with law enforcement
in recent years. Acknowledgement Cummings is doing
all he to make change for the better But the
activity must be aroused in every state of the Union
Public enemies must be treated like maneatng tigers
The order given recently to policemen in many of
cities to shoot first and question afterward is good
policy in this dire emergency
Death to traitors should be the slogan from
At any minute this nation is likely to be forced into
fight for its life.
Russias czarlike Communistic government knows how
to handle traitors Germany has adopted similar eec-
tive procedure And it is about time for to get rid Of
the mawlcsh sentimentaity which has had much to do
with making us the most awless nation on earth.
There should be need for additional laws to protect
from such band of wholesale murderers-the disci
Piles of Bolshevsm in its most violent FORM Give them
the same penalty quickly administered that they have
prepared for their victims

manufacturers who do inside work
as well as give out work to con-
tractors.
The contractors have closed
their shops until manufacturers pay
them higher price. While there is
no picketing, nor does the stoppage
bear any resemblance to a strike, the
- G. w. officials declare that under
20 circumstances will workers re-
turn without the increase.
Report Conference
It is reported that the Shirt In
stitute, which includes the large
manufacturers, has called the
Amalgamated for a conference.
Meanwhile orders have been is
sued to Allentown, Pa, where a
strike of 5000 workers in the Le-
high Valley was to be called, that all
plans be halted as the court deci-
sion in Washington denying the
manufacturers injunction to pre-
vent enforcement of the 10 per cent
raise in wages and cut in hours,
halts all strike plans.
Although the manufacturers have
not yet indicated if they will abide
by the ruling of Justice Jesse Adkins
Of the District Of Columbia Supreme
Court, the national officials Of the
Amalgamated Clothing Workers
have declared halliday holiday in
all shops between Thursday and
Saturday to celebrate the victory.
In making this announcement,
these officials, as well as Alex Co.
hen, manager of the New York
Shirtmakers' Joint Board, gave the
impression that there was no need
of strike to enforce their demands
Is Not True
This is emphatically not true, as
can be seen from the manufactur-
ers' own statement on the judges
decision. The manufacturers,
through their organ, the Daily News
Record, coolly replied to the court
decision with the statement that the
wage increase order was "unenforc-
able"
Further, the court decision refers
only to preliminary injunction
asked by the manufacturers. The
hearing on the original request by
the manufacturers for permanent
injunction is still on and is to come
up Monday.
What is likely to happen, to judge
from previous events, is that the In
dustrial Committee Of the Cotton
Garment Code Authority, Of which
Alex Cohen is himself a member,
and which unanimously voted to
permit the manufacturers not to
apply the wage increase until the
decision on the preliminary injunc-
ton was given out, may now, with
the knowledge and consent Of the
union officials, grant a further stay
during the hearing on the perma-
nent injunction, which will take
months while it wends it's way from
the District of Columbia Court
through the Court of Appeals and
to the u. S. Supreme Court.
