i I | THREE SLOVAK — WORKERS ARE OUT ON BAIL Labor-Hater Jumps Bail from $50 to $400 John Lacko, Gabriel Fiala, and Frank Schienbenreich, three Slovak workers arrested for disturbing the Rovnost Ludu tin front of the Ashland Auditorium, have been released on $50 bail, Their trial will take place about July 19, A number of Slovak workers took bundles of the Roynost Ludu to a mass meeting of the National Catholic Slovaks. A reactionary named Hlinka Bude was\the main speaker. Arrest Workers. Copies of the Rovnost Ludu were distributed in front of the hall as the workers went in. As soon as the meeting started five or six of those that had distributed,the paper in front of the hall, entered the hall, paid their admission and were seated. They had wrapped up their papers. Shortly after they were seated several of the Catholic committee that had seen them distribute the paper in front of the hall called the police, The com- mittee then pointed out George Babka and another worker who had a bundle. The police grabbed the two, pushed, kicked and clubbed them as they were brought down the stairs, The police then spied that Lacko had @ bundle. One of them walked over to Lacko and demanded what he had in the bundle. Lacko replied that it was his property and that the policemen had no business to open the package. The policemen then mumbled something about having or- ders from the chief of police and open- ed the bundle. When he found copies of the Rovnost Ludu he tore them up and arrested Lacko and Schienben- reich, These two were questioned in the Auditorium and then brought to the Desplaines St. police station. Gabriel Fila was arrested later. ~ Before Labor-Hating Judge. The three were released in a few hours on $50 bail. The next morn- ing they were brought before Judge Fetzer, a henchman of the union- smashing State’s Attorney Crowe. Here they demanded jury trial. Four members of the Catholic com- mittee brought charges against the three that they were Communists, “bolsheviks,” and that they had tried to create a riot. The three were booked on a charge of disorderly conduct. When the three asked for jury trial, the judge raised the bail to the ridiculous figure of $400. Tha three were then rearrested. The at- torney for the International Labor De- fense succeeded in having the three released on the original bail. The In- ternational Labor Defense will handle the cases of these three when they come to trial July 19. Machinists’ Union in .” Machinery Making Has Been Allowed to Die BOSTON, June 30.—The big ma- chinery manufacturing concerns of New England, making shoe and text- ile equipment largely, are non-union, machinists’ union officials state, The big United Shoe Machinery Corp., controlling about 95% of the trade and exerting considerable con- trol over shoe factories, had 3,300 union machinists in 1919, says Chas. Reed of Salem. The union there has been allowed to vanish. Pawtucket and Providence machine factories are equally open shop, admits machinists’ business agent Camfield of Boston.

EKATERINOSLAY, U, 8, S. R. (By Mail).—In the village of Podgornoye (Bkaterinoslay district) a general meeting was held, attended by over 1,000 peasants, both men and women. The peasants jistened very atten- tively to the report on British events. After the report a number of speakers addressed the audience, calling upon everyone present. to give brotherly help to the British workers. “Let the world bourgeoisie know,” said a peasant, “that not only the workers, but also peasants, hate the bourgeoisie.” We are in sympathy with the strug- gle of the working class and hasten to give aid. The peasants are beginning to understand what is going on in the world and know that the world bour- seoisie is the common enemy of the working class and the peasantry, and can be overcome only by the joint ef- forts of the workers and peasants, A commission was elected for the collection of contributions. The com- mission proposes ‘to collect not less than 180 poods of corn. Peasants Give to British Strikers. VILLAGE OF SPASSK, U. 8. S. R. (By Mail)—The general meeting of the village of Spassk, in the Novo Moskovsk District, was attended by 500 people. After a report by the representative of the patron of the village on the general strike in Great Britain, the peasants made the follow- ing declaration: We greet the working class of Great Britain, which is fighting for its in- terests. As a sign of our solidarity with them we will make a voluntary collection in support of the strike fund of the workefs engaged in this gigan- tic struggle, “Our Peasant Solidarity. TAMBOV, U.S. S. R.

A Peasant’s Capful of Kopecks, NOVO-SELENSK, U. 8, S. R. (By Mail).—Having heard of the events in Great Britain, the peasants of the Domnino settlement in the Novo- Selensk district decided to send greet- ings to the British workers on strike. Knowing what this struggle means to the workers, we decided to help them to the best of our ability. A collection was taken up there and then in a cap, which was rapidly filled. Eleven roubles and 35 kopecks were collected. Friendly Organization of Help (Baku). BAKU, U. 8. S. R. (By Mail).—The workers of Baku eagerly answered the call of events in Great Britain. Hardly had the telegrams bearing the news of the miners’ strike reached Baku when an emergency session of the Miners’ Union of the A, S. S. R. was convened for the same day. It was decided to give every manner of support to the miners on strike. Already the next day help began to pour in from all sides, In ‘its recent manifesto to the work- ers of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics the All Russian Council of Trade Unions proposed deducting for the benefit of the British workers one- quarter of the day’s earnings. Before our workers knew of this decision they began already to deduct from their earnings considerably more than pro- posed by the A, U. C. T. U. The cam- paign for financial help to the British proletariat is also carried on by means of collecting cards and collections are also made at many workers’ meetings in the various districts. Very many meetings are held. In Binigardi alone 13 emergency meet- ings were held on May 6th, all of them devoted to the British events. There is not an industry and hardly any enterprise where meetings have not either been held or are in the course of preparation. The same may be said of the office workers of the various in- stitutions and of the higher technical and administrative staffs. Day of Rest Worked for British. In Bibi-Afbat the workers deduct one-quarter to a whole ‘day’s’ earnings for the benefit of the strikers, The Belogorod workers gave one day's earnings at the factory meetings =| wherever it was possible to hold them. In factory No, 6 it was decided with the sanction of the management to add to this also the work of one Friday, sacrificing thus the day of rest. Motor transport warkers give one day’s earnings. In the Stenka Razin settlement card collections are made, the engineering-technical section giv- ing one day's earnings there and then. ‘The same was done by the workers of the Baku Soviet. The food workers and many others deduct half a day's earnings. From Azerbaidjan, Too! This list could be continued ad in- finitum, and it should be stated that only very few kept to the amount pro- posed by the A, U. C. T, U. The ma- jority give one day's earnings and many draw on the Mutual Aid fund and the Mestkom (local committee) fund for the benefit of the British strikers, The sums collected by the Azerbaid- Jan workers’ for British THE DAILY WORKER UNITED FRONT SACCO MEETING WAKES FRISCO All Workers’ Organiza- tions Unite in Protest (Special to The Daily Worker) SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., June 30.— A united front mass meeting under the auspices of the San Francisco Branch of the Civil Liberties Union protesting against the frame-up of Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti was held in Scottish Rites Auditorium Friday, June 25.
