SCHEDEL TO -BEDEPORTED —-BYUS.GOVT Secy. Davis Gives His Sarcastic “Sympathy” (1. L. D. Press Service.) John C. Schedel, of Fort Wayne, Ind. piano polisher by trade, will be deported to Germany, according to a decision handed down by James I. Danis, secretary of the department of labor. . ‘Schedel was one of the victims of P@lmer’s red raids in 1920, In Janu- ary of that year he, was seized in his Fort ‘Wayne: home, separated from his wite ‘and five small children’ and de- ported to Germany. The only charge against him was that he held mem- bership in the Communist Party. Victims of Capitalist Government. The sepafation reactéd bitterly on the Schedel family. Oné of his chil- dren died and Mrs. Schedel broke un- der the double ‘strain. She became mentally afflicted and was for a time a patient in the East Haven, Asylum, Richmond, Indiana. .The four: other children ;.were placed in» the: Allen county orphanage. The plight of his family prompted Sehedel to make an effort to return to the United States. On his return he was immediately arrested. Attor- neys employed by the International Labor Defense conducted a_ legal struggle to prevent his second de- portation. His case attracted widespread at- tention, even business men interced- ing with the department of labor in his behalf. Letters from college heads, writers, professional men of all kinds poured in to Secretary of Labor Davis. Davis’ “Sympathy.” With unctuous hypocrisy, Mr. Davis’ hired man, White, in a letter to David Starr Jordan, the noted educator, ex- pressing the regret of his. superior over the necessity for such harsh ac- tion. This is the language used to picture the heart ache of the owner of the Loyal Order. of the Moose, over the separation of Schedel'from his family: ~ ¥ “It is hardly nécessary for ‘me’ to say that the secretary's sympathies go out to the wife and American-born children, for they are the real suf- ferers.. Where the circimstahcés per- mit and the law gives him the discre- tion, he always takes a sympathetic ‘attitude when it means suffering and hardship to children whether they are natives or foreign-born, but where the law vests in him no such discretion, he can do no more than to sympathize and say that it is indeed a pity that the husband and father,/bret upon them this sorrow.” Read—Write—distribute The DAILY WORKER. cine To those who work hard for their money, | will save 50 per cent on all their dental work.

The lawyers for the defense, among whom are Clarence Darrow, a noted Chicago lawyer and Arthur Garfield Hays of the American Civil Liberties for Union, in their cross-examination of Police Inspector Schuknecht, showed that the officer was not telling the truth when he stated that there was no disturbance at the Sweet home when he arrived. This inspector had all he could do at the time of the as- sault of the Negro home to disperse the mob. Try to Acquit Negroes. An attempt is being made for an acquittal of those on trial as they fired in self defense when a mob ad- vanced on their home with stones, clubs and weapons intent on not only destroying the home of the Negro doctor, but also to “get” the inhabi- tants and “teach” them a lesson, Gunman Dodges Prison Term. « Walter Stevens, notorious gunman, {defeated the government in its ef- forts to remove him to Miami, Fla., on charges of violating the prohibi- tion law when Federal udge James H.

The intention®of the prosecution is to sentence Rakosi and all the other prisoners to death; to execute Rakosi and Weinberger and, after having giv- en this example; transform the other» death sentences into 10 to 15 years of imprisonment. All this is permissible | according to: the Hungarian penal code, The international proletariat must intervene more energetically than in the past, to save Comrade Rakosi and his group from death. Ww: Our Readers’ Views Disagrees with Dunbar. To The DAILY WORKER: In a re- cent issue of The DAILY WORKER, the play “White Cargo” is reviewed by Comrade Dunbar, and in my opin- ion, his comment is a sample of every- thing a Communist critic should not be. To begin with, I wish to align my- self with Bernad Shaw in his opinion of art, which is to the effect that “if it is not propaganda, it is not art.” To me, art for art’s sake, is the bunk. And to me, “White Cargo” is a piece of very effective anti-imperialist prop- aganda.

(Worker Correspondent) PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Nov. 10++Dr: Lucy Wilson, principal of South Phila- delphia girls’ high school, the largest high ‘school in Philadelphia, who spent’ all summer in Soviet Russia, | spoke on trade unionism and factory conditions in Russia at a meeting of the Women’s Trade Union League of Philadelphia. She started out by describing the | conditions in a certain factory but in |doing so she emphasized the faet | that this factory was an example of hundreds of other factories in Russia | today. | In brief, the conditions in the factor- {ies are what the workers of the fac- jtory want them to be, she stated. |'These conditions are enforced by their shop committees and trade unions. She stated there is nothing in Russia as strong as the trade unions, When there are profits made by the factory, the workers of the shop decide whether to dispose of those profits thru’ an increase in wages or the improvement of the fac- tory conditions or improving the ma- chinery or lowering prices. Radio “Newspapers” They also have radio loud speakers in the factories, which are called the “factory newspiper” and during the lunch hour the workers get news of what is actually happening in world politics and of economic conditions. Even the school chilgren receive this type of news. She pointed out that altho tuition is not free in the higher schools, work- ers pay as little as 40c. while the nep man has to pay as high as. 200 rubles. The tuition fee is arranged according to the workers’ income. The workers’ child always gets the prefer- ence whether it is in school or in-any other place: Children Taken Care Of When questioned about an article that appeared inthe Philadelphia Ledger claiming that there are’ 40,000 children homeless in Moscow, she de- clared that was a revolting lie. “There are no homeless children in Moscow at the present time,” she declared, for they are all taken care of by either the trade unions or the government. On the question of whether her in- vestigations were interfered with, she assured the questioner that she went where she cared to and was not hind- ered from doing anything she wanted to. “There is more freedom in Russia” she stated, “then in the United States or any other country.” Put a copy of the DAILY WORKER in your pocket when you go to your union meeting.

ROUMANIAN WAR MINISTER TELLS COURT, ‘SPEED-UP" Have Night Sessions in Peasant Trial (Special to The Daily Worker) KISHENEV, Bessarabia, Nov. 10.— The war minister has ordered the court martial, that is now trying the 500 peasants for their part in the Tar- tarbounar uprising, .to speed up the trial so that it will end this week. The Bratianu government ig doing all in its power to keep news of the trial secret, so that the workers of other lands would not hear about the tortures under which “confessions” have been extracted from the peas- ants. ° ; Preparations to end, this trial quick- ly have already béén made as the court is now holding night sessions. The holding of night sessions adds another hardship to the peasants, as they must stand up all day, then work three hours. at hard Jabor and then stand up thru the night sessions. The public is excluded from the court sessions and the defense Jaw- yers are hampered in any direction they may turn.’ No attempts are made at pretending: inipartial justice will be given in this trial. The court judges thruout the*trial have showed that this is a court where class justice will be’ rendéred,“and that’ the court is a class court, representing the Rouman‘ lan boyars. The military court martial has now decided to limit the questioning of the peasants and will also restrict the lawyers defending the peasants the right to raise objections. In a tilt with the lawyers for the defense, mili- tary auditor, Zeciu, ‘gave the follow- ing reason for this restriction: “We know the motives for the un- interrupted protests of the lawyers. The accused are to be put thus into @ position to tell still more stories of horror. We will not permit, however, that the honor of the Roumanian na- tion and of our army be trodden upon. The accused have to answer in such @ mannér as We think good.” On the protests of the lawyers against the tortures and the maltreat- ment of the prisoners, this inquisitor replied to the lawyers: “Do not ex- cite yoirsélves, gentlemen, because these bandits have been maltreated in the preliminary examination. Beat- ing is in all countries an excellent means for the promotion of investi- gation.” As a protest against this expression of the court, the lawyers left the hall. The only. thing that can save these Peasants from the fate that awaits them at the hands.of the Roumanian boyars is an international protest against the terror regime of the Brat- ianu brothers, Wrap your lunch in a copy of the DAILY WORKER and give it (the DAILY WORKER, not the lunch) to your shop-mate.
