Zeligovali May Take His Place (Special to The Dally Worker) BERLIN, June 18.—The resignation of Marshal Pilsudski as minister of war is expected at any moment. It is declared that General Zeligovski, who took Vilna, may succeed Pilsudski. ‘News coming thru the heavy Polish censorship states that the Polish so- clalist party has pased a resolution demanding the dissolution of the Pol- ish Sejm.

London Newspaper in Anxiety to Capture Soviet Union Trade LONDON, June 18.—The influential British periodical, the “New States- man,” has the following to say about the importance of trade relations with the Soviet Union: “Both America and Germany are pushing steadily into the Russian mar- ket. While our government refuses to apply the principles of its own trade facilities act to Russia, the German government has no such scruple. It has just guaranteed a long term loan for the supply to Russia of electrical and other machinery. And Mr. Henry Ford, we are informed, has the back- ing of his government in a contract for 10,000 motor tractors. In the finan- cial year 1924-25 the exports from Russia to the United States were val- med at, roughly, $10,500,000, the im- ports to Russia from the United States at $95,000,000. Both these totals were about double those of the year before. “We do not wish to weary our read- ers with statistics. THose we have quoted are only designed to show that Russian trade, if it has not yet got back to prewar level, is rapidly get- ting there, and that the manufacturers of other countries besides Britain have their eyes on the Russian markets. Nor, of course, is the recovery of the 1913 level the goal.” If you want to thoroughly un- derstand Communism—study it. IN SPOKANE, WASH.

It says that the missionaries have received their mandates from the church and not from their govern- ments. + Their scope is to “announce the gospel” and not make themselves the instruments of their governments.

June 18.—The grand jury investigating the death of Wiley Zeigler, who was “beaten to death by a bull whip in the hands of City Prison Guard W. T. Hill, as told in a recent issue of The DAILY WORKER, has disclosed other things about the management of this typical southern prison hell. Hill is held for $10,000 bail. The grand jury will not report until August 1, Captain R. W. Connor of the farm was forced to resign, and Guards A. H. Cross and R. L, Steele were suspended when the investigation showed that they also were guilty of brutal beat- ing of prisoners and other offenses. Regarding Connor, a Negro mail car- rier named J. M. Burr, testified: Almost Another Lynching. “On May 23 I was driving on St. Emanuel street and nearly had a collision with a white man in another auto. The white man came at me with a hammer and threw it at me. Then a man who said he was ‘the law’ came up. He drew a pistol and told the white man to go to the police station and file charges against me. ‘The law’ took me to the station, beat- ing me all the way. He struck me over the eye with the pistol so that I needed medical attention. The next day I saw Chief Goodson and he told me the man was Captain Connor.” Burr was acquitted when tried. Witnesses before the grand jury told how whipping was the rule and not the exception at the prison farm. Spencer Grant, a former prisoner, told how Connor had whipped a white man “something terrible to make him tell who was thinking of an escape” and then whipped all the man pointed out, Beat 72-Year-Old Man. A. L. Osborn, a man 72 years old, told how he was kicked and cursed by Connor when he asked to pay off a $5 fine rather than serve his term at the farm. So much scandal has been brot out that the city has decided to sell the farm. Otis Holmes, a Negro, told how he had been compelled to serve 100 days at the prison farm, altho he had never been before a court, judge or jury. John Alexander in a signed state- ment told how Guard A. H. Cross forced him to serve time belonging to two Negro women named Alberta and Star, and whipped him when Alexan- der said he didn’t know how to plow.

Page Three ay hon Ginclair (Copyright, 1926, by Upton Sinclair) WHAT HAS GONE BEFORE, hy ARNOLD ROSS, oil operator, formerly Jim Ross, teamster, drives over the smooth California roads with his young son, “Bunny”, beside him on the way to Beach City. In the hotel they meet Ross's lease-hound, Ben Skutt, who has arranged for Ross to meet a group of property owners, whose land Ross is anxious to get because it contains oil. Those that own the lands at first agree to share alike. But intrigues soon split the group. A number of oil promoters bribed a few of the more influential ones in an attempt to get the lease. Skutts enters with Ross and the boy when the discord is at its highest point. He attempts to get them to sign a lease with Ross. At the moment when threats begin to fly Skutt introduces Ross. Ross arises and in his southwestern American language tells against them, and that their former + the owners that he is an oil man; that they must beware of mere promoters and crooks; that he will drill quick and drill right and guarantee them good royalties. Many of the owners are impressed. But there are still recalcitrant ones. Bunny is sitting near the window taking it all in. A boy appears at the window. He tells Bunny he is Paul Watkins and the lady of the house his aunt. He ran away from home but he is afraid his aunt will send him back. He wants Bunny to go out in the kitchen on the excuse he wants a drink and open the back door. Then Paul can sneak in and get something to eat. Bunny does this and elips out of the house. While Paul eats the borrowed food, they talk. He tells Bunny his father is a “Holy Roller’. That’s why he left home. Bunny offers him money, but he refuses to take it. As Bunny is inviting Paul for dinner at the hotel next day a serap starts in the house, e ° e e bo. «ll A There was a general appearance as if everybody in the room were fighting; but that could not have been the case, for there were several left to separate Messrs. Sahm and Hank, and to shove them into opposite corners. Before this process was en- tirely completed, Bunny heard a voice calling his name from the front of the house. “All right, Dad!” he answered, and ran to meet his father. The three men of the Ross party were descending the front steps, and proceeding down the walk. ‘Come on,” said the father; “‘we’re a-goin’ back to the hotel.” 1 See Wey Believing these men to be entirely innocent of the charges lodged tions of the workers in the Ford plant. This is the third issue of the paper which has created a sensation among the Ford workers. The police pre- vented free distribution of previous issues, so sales were being made at one cent each. The Ford plant workers swarmed around Mrs. Victor to get their copies. Evidently this got under the skin of the Ford company, so its lackey chief of police, Seymour, was ordered to prevent the legal sales of the papers. When Mrs. Victor was brot before the chief, he told her that she was Not Guilty. ‘We protest most vigorously against these men being electrocuted until it shall have been established beyond a reasonable doubt that they are guilty as charged. This we be- lieve has not been done, We hold that these men are guilty only of fighting for the welfare of their fellow men, of which we are a part, and that they should not be foully murdered to satisfy the greed of the exploiters of labor. Flood of Protest. This prompt declaration for Sacco “Gee, Dad! What happened?” “They're a bunch of boobs, and you can’t do anything with them. I wouldn’t take their lease if they offered it as a gift. Let’s get out of here.” They were walking towards their car, which was parked a little way down the road. Suddenly Bunny halted. “Oh, Dad,” he cried; “wait just a minute! Please, Dad, there’s a boy I met, and I want to tell him something. Wait for me, please!” “Well, be quick,” said Dad. “I got another lease to see about tonight.” Bunny raced back, as fast as his legs could move. A panto had seized him. “Paul! Paul!” he shouted. “Where are you?” There was no sound, and no sign of the other boy, Bunny To get there take Archer Ave. car to end of line, then take Justice and Vanzetti by the Dallas Central Labor Council is expected by the De- fense Committee to be but the first of a growing flood of similar protests on the part of organized labor thruout the country against the legal lynching of these two Italian workers framed up for a heinous offense. ees St. Louis Demand. ST. LOUIS, Mo., June 18.—The Cen- tral Trades and Labor Union, repre- senting 65,000 organized trade unton- ists of St. Louis, at its last regular meeting, by a unanimous vote, de- manded that Sacco and Vanzetti be only permitted to sell papers and not “pamphlets.”° She showed him a copy of the “Ford Worker,” saying “See, this is not a pamphlet, but a monthly periodical, with a volume and issue number like any other paper.” After passing some ugly and un- called-for remarks, Seymour had to release her,"having no grounds on which to hold” her. But he ordered her not to sell any more copies of “The Ford Wotker.” Mrs, Victor re- plied that she would contest his illegal orders and has placed the matter in the hands of an attorney. given a new trial immediately or that | they be set free.

Paul! Where are you? Please don’t go away!” But there was no reply. Then Bunny heard his father’s voice again, in a tone that was not to.be neglected; so he went, with sinking heart, and climbed into his place in the automobile. All the way back to the hotel, while the men were discussing the new lease they plan- ned to make, Bunny sat in silence, with tears stealing down his cheeks. Paul was gone! He might never see Paul again! And oh, such a wonderful boy! Such a wise boy—he knew so many things! A clear-sighted boy, and so interesting to talk to! And an honest boy—he wouldn’t lie or steal! Bunny was ashamed, recollecting several times in his life when he had told lies—noth- ing very serious, but little things, that seemed so petty and mean, in the sudden clear light of Paul’s uprightness. And Paul wouldn’t take any of Dad’s money! Dad thought that everybody in the world would be glad to get his money; but this boy had refused it! He must have been angry with Bunny for pressing it upon him, else he wouldn’t have run away like that! Or else, for whatever reason, he didn’t like Bunny; and so Bunny would never see him again!
