The supreme court meets in October and as it will take a month to get a decision and will take another month to recount the 2,627 Cook county pre- cincts, it is believed that Trude will not succeed in gaining the nomina- tion in time for the election.

They hoped that the first action would be the liberation of the prisoners arrested and sen- tenced for the cause of the emancipa- tion of the working class. Suppression the Same. “The seat of Witos’ government was taken by Pilsidski and Bartels. The personnel of the government was changed. The system of suppression and repression toward the working people remained the same. The work- ing masses once more, by their own experience, have been convinced that they may count only on their own power to achieve the emancipation of the workers and peasants, Seven Years of Struggle. “Seven years of independence of the Polish state have meant seven years of sacrifice, bitter struggle of the workers of city and village for their emancipation, struggle which has been marked by persecution by the bourgeois government. In the strug- gle for land by the peasants, in the struggle for bread and peace by the workers, in the struggle for self-deter- mination of the oppressed minorities within Poland, thousands of fighters went to prison. Today in the Polish prisons there are 6,000 political pris- oners who, in their hard struggle not only once with the help of hunger strikes, must demand the most ele- mentary human rights. “The broad working masses, with redoubled might,.are raising today the demand for freedom of political pris- oners, and that unconditional emanci- pation be granted them. Fight for Freedom. “For the struggle of freedom for po- litical prisoners the White Russian, the peasant-worker party (Hromada), the Communist fraction in the Polish Sejm (parliament), the Independent Socialist Labor Party, the Narodania Vola (Will of the People) Party, of Eastern Galicia, and the Jewish Social, Democratic Workers Party (Poale Zion), decided to form an international party secretariat for the struggle for amnesty for political prisoners in Po land, “Workers and farmers! Raise your yoice thruout the land and demand: “Freedom for political prisoners! “Down with repression and persecu- tion aimed against organizations and press of the workers and peasants! “Down with the oppression of na- tional minorities! “We demand the abolition of the anti-worker and anti-peasant laws of former czars and kaisers who ruled Poland. “Long live united action for the free- dom of Poland’s political prisoners! “Inter-Party Secretariat for the Strug- gle for Amnesty for Political Pris- oners in Poland, “Representative Stanislaw Ballin, “Polish Diet, Warsaw.” Help in United States.

The board, in a press statement, argues-that the war did not cause the contrast be- tween the economic condition of Europe with that in America, but that the annual drink bill of the American people, which was about $2,438,000,000 before the war and would reach $5, 000,000,000 in this year’s prices, was the burden that kept America back with the old world, Weird Economic Theory. “Europe was perhaps able to deal with its drink loss before it sustained its war injuries,” says the board, “but the continuation of these losses on top of the war losses makes a situa- tion impossible with which to deal. Great Britain at present is spending a little short of $2,000,000,000 a year on drink. France was in 1921 spend- ing 13,500,000,000 francs for liquor. Seven countries in Europe, with an ag- gregate population of 168,000,000, sup- ported a drink expenditure of approxt- mately $4,180,000,000, Sober, Poor and Patriotic. “It may be said calmly and in a spirit of the deepest sympathy with the troubles of Europe that the gov- ernment of the United States has no moral right to subsidize Huropean tay Payers with money taken from the pockets of Americans, so long as Buro- beans are spending for drink sums which in a few years would discharge the American debt. The money lent to Europe was obtained from the pocketbooks of day laborers in our geat cities, confield hands of the middle west, Negro washerwomen of the far south and other persons who are wretchedly poor, but none the less patriotic citizens.” Eller Gave Them Jobs, Precinct Worker Won’t Testify in Vote Quiz Republican precinct captains of the twentieth ward have refused to give any information regarding the conduct of the voting in the Eller bailiwick during the last primaries, The special grand jury investigating vote frauds Tan up against a stone wall because Morris Eller, the political boss of. the ward, has been so good to his workers and captains that they won't open their mouths.
