the Socialist local and the Commus
mist fraction on the campus.
All persons at the school who ara
unaffiliated are organized into q
fourth group, and each Of the fouR
groups has a representative on the
United Front Action Committee.
Recent events in eastern Arkansas
brought out the need for such q
united front. Sharecroppers of THAI
section have organized into the
Southern Tenant Farmers Union to
put an end to evictions, and one Of
the organizers of that union, Ward
Rodgers, has been jailed for quoting
in a mass meeting, the Declaration
Of Independence to the effect thai
the people had a right to change o.
abolish existing institutions. Rods
gers is a member Of the State Exc
ecutve Committee of the Socialist
Party of Arkansas.
When news came of this arrest q
delegation made up Of Lucien Koch,
director of Commonwealth College,
and two students, each representing
one of the political parties, left irn%
mediately to aid in the struggle to
free Rodgers and stop evictions,
The purpose of the United Fron1

is to be free and democratic bud

MITCHELL, S. D., Jan. %. -
Every unemployed workers home
here is fortified against the sub
zero cold wave with an ample supply
of coal-through the prompt action
of the unemployed under the lead
ership of the Davis County Farm
ers and Workers League.
At the last meeting of the Farm
ers' and Workers League, report
after report was made by the job
less workers and poor farmers of
how coal orders were denied them
by the County Commissioners. Chill
dren suffered in unheated homes as
the wind-swept plains were blank
eted under snow in sub-zero
weather.
Adopted Plan
After the reports were made, the
workers adopted a plan of action.
All those needing coal were to mo-
bilize at the county store promptly
at o'clock the next morning, Sat-
urday, with shovels and trucks. A
committee was elected to inform the
County Commissioners that unless
coal orders were issued at once, the
assembled workers would descend
upon the coal yards. take the coal
needed, carefully weigh it, and send
the bills of the coal merchants to

In Chicago
Are Assailed
Police Ransack Home
Of Negro Candidate
For Alderman

- CHICAGO, Ill, Jan. 23.-Sur-
passing themselves in their gang
ster methods in the control of Chi
cago elections, the bosses waited
less than twenty-four hours before
striking at the twenty-nine Alder
manic candidates, nominated at
workers conferences, who filed
Tuesday. Canvassers who repre-
sented themselves as being from the
Board of Election Commissioners,
and who had photostatic copies of
the RACE Aldermanic petitions with
them, called upon the signers. By
threats and intimidation they tried
to get these workers to declare their
signatures were falsified,
Ransacked Home
While they were busy in the
Eighth Ward, the police we're ran
sacking the home of Lulu Edwards,
Negro candidate for Alderman in
the Second Ward. A heavy mail
was received by practically all the
candidates, along with many offers.
One was offered a thousand dollars
if he would get out of the race.
This followed close upon the ar
rest Sunday of two young girls who
were picked up while collecting sig
natures to place the Communist
candidates on the city ticket. They
were held for the Red Squad,
finger printed, photographed and
subjected to indignities at the hands
of social service workers before they
were released on bond the day fol-
lowing.
Hold Protest
Mass meetings have been called
in protest. Affidsvits have been
collected from those solicited in the
Eighth Ward as the workers pre-
pare to defend their civil rights,
Delegations are visiting the Board
of Election Commissioners and the
Mayor. The former deny any part
in the canvassing of the Eighth
Ward.
AS might be expected, the Chi
cago papers, which howl daily
praise of American democracy in
contrast to the dictatorship in the
Soviet Union, remain absolutely
silent about this open violation of
every principle of a free and demo-
cratic election.
1.-THE bosses have over PREACHED
themselves in the Eighth Ward,
said A. Guss, election campaign
manager of the Communist Party
1.-The raw deal given to George RACE
by the Capitol Dairy Company, and
followed up by the politicians of the
Democratic and Republican parties,
have been eye-openers to large
number of voters in that ward.
Many citizens who in the past have
voted Democrat and Republican are
now openly giving their support to
the candidacy of George RACE"

Striker Freed
OF Charges
Was Held on Trumped
Charge of Killing
Strikebreaker

MINNEAPOLIS, MINI, Jan. o.
The second attempt to frame a
worker in connection with the death
of the wealthy strikebreaker, Arthur
c. Lyman, who died of injuries re-
ceiyed during the truck drivers
strike here last May, collapsed when
a jury returned a verdict OF not
guilty in the case of Philip Scott,
19-year old driver, who was charged
with first degree manslaughter.
Mass pressure of the workers had
previously forced the state to drop
the case against another driver,
Emanuel Holstein, who was charged
with murder.
The jury deliberated less than an
hour, although the instructions given
by the court and to which the de-
tense attorneys objected strenuously,
practically ordered verdict of
guilty.
Army Men Implicated
The testimony showed that Lyman,
an ex-army officer and vice presi-
dent and manager of the American
Ball Company of Minneapolis was
a leader of a group of business men
which acted in concert with an
army of several hundred hired
thugs in the attempt to break the
strike of the drivers for union rec
ignition and for so and 52la cents
an hour.
The sinister role of the Citizens
Alliance and the Law and Order
League, as anti-labor and strike
breaking outfits, was clearly brought
out by the evidence, as also their
attempts to frame workers in con-
nection with the death of Lyman.
The correctness of the stand Of
the Communist Party and the In
! ternational Labc& Defense which
sharply denounced the first decision
of the Defense Committee of A. F.
of L. Business Agents not to defend
| Scott was dramatically confirmed
throughout the trial, with the piling
up of proof that the frame-up of
Scott was intended as an opening
gun by the open shop advocates
against the organized labor move
ment.
Defense Organized
Rank and file A. F. of L. workers,
learning from the experience with
the Defense Committee of Business
Agents, are pushing the organizing
of rank and file defense commit
tees in their unions,
MINNEAPOLIS, MINI, Jan. 28.-
Nine workers, who during the gar
age mechanics strike here went to
the defense of an organization COM
mittee attacked by company gun
men, were sentenced last Friday by
Judge Clyde White. Walter Bor-
deaux, who wrested gun from one
of the thugs, was given the stittest
sentence, Is days in the workhouse
or $40 fine, with five days or IS fine
to the eight other workers.

CITIZENS DEMAND
CAR LINE CONTINUE
KeniIWorth Resident Suffers
Heart Attack After Max
ing Appeal.

The fight for the continuation OF
street car service and laying of new
track on Kenilworth avenue was
strongly supported last night in
resolution unanimously adopted by
the Kenilworth Citizens Association
mt a special meeting in the Recreation
Center Building
The group disapproved of any ac-
ton calling for substitution of buses
for street cars, declaring the area
would not be adequately served.
John DriggerS, member, declared
"We have expressed ourselves as pre-
ferring the street car system, there
fore we should not compromise.
DriggerS, attending the meeting
despite illness, suffered a heart at
tack after his utterance and was
taken home.
President Kenneth Buker, urging
immediate action, declared street
cars would be less hazardous to chill
dren than buses and would be more
convenient for children going to
schools in other sections of the city
with the special fare, which may not
be continued if buSSeS are Subst1-
tuted."
The group was reminded by Buker
that the car line right of way was
donated by citizens, along with
$4,000, 80 years ago.
A special committee OF eight
headed by Buker, will interview the
Public Utilities Commission Thursday
on the matter.
The assessments. on Kenilwortt
property for the expense OF con-
cemning property in the widening
and repaving of Kenilworth avenue
