Tt all happened at the end of the xiew Ashleigh for DAILY | noon recess Thursday when the WORKER. judge asked the defendants and the “Why did they deport you?” | lawyers in the case to come.to the bar and express any objections they might have to his permitting the jury to go to their homes until the case again came into court Monday. Labor Paper Alarms Romano. Agsistant State’s Attorney Michael Romano the chief prosecutor, cer- asked. “Because they did not relish hav- ing the truth written about Ger- many, I suppose,” said Ashleigh. “I was living in Berlin, gathering ma- terial on the German situation, with the intention of compiling a series at the Upholsterers’ Union by the bosses. The jurors must not read the DAILY WORKER, for fear that they might become prejudiced on the side of the workers. had been at the meeting immediately preceding the strike where the report of the wage scale committee was read said they did not know if they had or had not heard the report and did not know if they had voted to accept the report. All the state’s witnesses admitted that before they were given jobs by the employers’ association they were asked if they intended to continue ‘their membership in the union and were given jobs only after they said they did not. Romano indicated that he did not consider the case he made against the five unionists on trial a very good one when he asked one of of articles for the working class press in America and Britain. I was in Germany ever since the abandon- ment of passive resistance in the Ruhr—i came there from Russia— and saw the swift growth of the capi- talist dictatorship in Germany; and the intensification of the sufferin; and hunger of the workers. I ha already begun to write some stuif about it, and I suppose they read it somewhere, and so swooped down on me,” It Was Quick Work. “How did they treat you there?” I asked. “Not particularly well. they suddenly descended upon me, when I was with some friends, and woes us all into a motor truck. e were then driven, under guard, thru the daylit streets, to jail. It was an open truck, and we were in full view of the passers-by. It quite reminded me of the old Wobblie days, and made me homesick for the States! “I was kept in jail five days— alone in a cell. They fed me a slice of black bread in the morning and ‘another at night. For dinner I got a bowl of liquid ironically called soup by my captors. I was provided with no soap or comh, and had, of course, no change of clothing. So, when I got out, after the five days, I rather looked ag if I had just made the trip from Denver to Frisco on the ‘blind, without a stop! “They gave me a few days in which to make my preparations for leaving, and then I,came to England, via Holland.” “You are used to being deported, aren’t you?” I enquired. “I ought tobe!” said _ Comrade Ashleigh, with a laugh. “This is my third deportation. In February, 1922, I was deported from the Unit- ed States. Then, in September, 1922, the authorities expelled me from India, whither I had gone to write about the native problems. And now from Germany. But I expect to go back to Germany pretty soon.” “But won't the government prevent you?” I asked. “Not when I go back,” said Ash- leigh. “It will welcome me. cause it will then be the workers’ Soviet Government of Germany!” “And when are you coming back to the States?” I asked. “Ah,” said Ashleigh, “that will probably take a bit longer!” _ Dress Up-to-Date 1 with a J.

I’ do not know who is respon- sible for this paper, or what papers the jurors may read, but I feel that the jurors ought to be warned against reading The DAILY WORK- ER while they are serving in this trial.” “May I see your copy of The DAILY WORKER?” asked the court, and the prosecutor handed his copy to the judge, who perused it carefully. Nelson Attacks Tribune. Attorney Oscar Nelson urged for the aetenaahts that the jury be in- structed not to read the Chicago Tribune. : “J will instruct the jury to re- frain from reading all papers till they come to this court again Mon- day morning,” said the judge. The bailiff was instructed to call the jury and the next witness and the case continued on its regular course. Poor Scab—Couldn’t Work. Earl Harris, one of the state’s wit- nesses, testified that he had been stopped from working by union men who objected to working with scab upholsterers. He said later that he had discussed the matter in the office of Dudley Taylor with Taylor. When asked if he knew what connection Taylor had with the case of the men on trial Harris said none that he, knew of only Taylor was in charge of the case as he understood it. Louise Bernhart, a carpet sewer, said that for 17 years she had worked for Marshall Field and Company and at the end of that time she was earn- ing $12 a week. Then she joined the union about a year ago and is today earning $30 a week. She said that she had not been interfered with when she attempted to work during thé strike, Bosses Tale of Woe. Stephan A. Mollato, the owner of a building at Catulpa avenue and Broadway, testified that while the building was in the course of com- struction union painters had refused to work on the job unless non-union upholsterers left and that McKenna, who is on trial charged with conspir- ing with the other defendants to ruin the business of the boss upholsterers, had asked the painters to return to work with the non-union uphol- sterers. John Glyn, Harry Harvey, and Harry Achinkian, all testified that they had_seen stickers which asked union building employes to 4sk up- holstery workers to show their union card: They all admitted under cross-examination that they had been to the office of Dudley Taylor and told him all about it. E. A. Cummings, a carpet layer, testified that he had been brought here ag the result of seeing an ad in a Denver paper asking for non- union carpet layers. He se a job thru Bronson, he said, On one occasion he was prevented from working on a job by the refusal of union men to work with him as long as he did not have a union card and wi by two deputy sheriffs. ring the questioning of William Boelter by Romano the judge found it necessary to stop him from asking leading questions of the witness. The history and philosophy of boy- cotts and boycotting is something that a jury charged with trying labor men indicted for conspiracy to boy- cott should know nothing about, ac- cording to Romano, who became io with Defense Attorney Oscar Nel who was cross-examjning James Mulcahey. Nelson asked Mulcahey if he knew what the defendants were charged with, He said that he did not. He was asked if he knew what a | boycott He said that he did not!

The conditions in the non-union shops where embroidery workers are employed have become unbearable, as the unorganized embroidery workers are working 50 hours a week, while their wages have been cut 50 per cent. The workers are living on a hunger-wage. They have appealed to the executive board of the em- broidery union to take up the matter of organizing the non-union shops, and the campaign which is planned is in response to these appeals on the part of the unorganized, Galli-Curci Makes Last Appearance in Chicago, Sunday Galli-Curci’s’ last appearance in ; Chicago for the next two years will be Sunday evening, Feb. 24, at the Auditorium theatre, where she will give her farewell performances to the city in which she has scored such @ success. Following the close of her success- ful concert tour of the United States this season, Galli-Curci will sail for Europe and appear on the concert and operatic stage of the Old World for the next two years, returning to America again for further concert work, Since her remarkable debut with the Chicago Opera Company in 1916, when si appeared as Gilda in “Rigoletto,” Galli-Curci has won an enviable position in the hearts of the American people, and especially Chi- cago, for Chicago considers Galli- Curci as its own. No artistic success of the country has been so spectacular as the rise of the noted coloratura. Lcinisclsins lhdoosatieninplonmntcabilieoninem tet’ BUY DRUG!

(Special to The Daily Worker) NEW YORK, Feb, 21—At a meet- ing of Finishers’ Local 15 of the Fur Workers’ Union held recently in ManHattan Lyceum, New York, the workers present expressed their bit- ter indignation against the officers of the union who tried to white- wash the latest case of slugging. A few weeks ago the officials of Local 15 published a white-washing statement in the “Forward” and the “Fur Worker” concerning the mur- derous attack made by sluggers on B, Gold, a member of this local. Gold was beaten and stabbed by the sluggers. This is just another case of slugging in the Fur Workers’ Union where Kaiffman, the presi- dent of the union, has been making pogroms on radical members of the union. This has been going on for a long time, and yet the criminal pol- icy is allowed to continue. The angsters in control of the Fur orkers’ Union disregard the pro- tests of the masses of fur workers and they are going right ahead in their assaults on those who show any kind of opposition to their ter- rorist rule. The indignation at the meeting of Local 15 was so much the greater in view of the fact that those who signed the statement in the press were not present when the attack was made upon Gold. When the chairman saw that the membership was in no_ peaceful mood, and when the indignation of those pean grew to high tension, he declared the meeting adjourned, to save the officials from the ire of the workers. German Fascisti Prohibit Workers’ Relief Mass Meeting The conference of the German sec- tion of the International Workers Aid that was to be held publicly in | the city hall of Berlin, Germany, Jan, 27, was prohibited by the mili- tary authorities. Frau Mathilde Wurm, Socialist member. of the Reichstag, and one of the leaders of the relief work, took the matter up with the District Army Commander who finally agreed to pt ioe the regular delegates to meet in the Berlin office of the In- ternational Workers Aid, but kept the ban on the public meeting. Willi Munzenberg reported sub- stantial progress in feeding hungry we class children and stated that contributions were coming in from England, France, America and other countries. Frau Dr, Schumann who was a delegate to the conference of the International Workers Aid in En- gland. which was recently held, re- ported that 25 official representa- tives of the Labor Party took part in the conference, A resolution pro- testing, against the police interfer- ence was adopted.
