Kaplan, who has been unemployed for sometime, was sitting yesterday morning in Madison Square at 23rd St. and Broadway, reading The DAILY WOKER.

He has ai- ready been arrested five times while leading the picket lines of the strik- ers. In an effort to remove him from the strike field, a ‘legal’ pretext was coneocted against Porter to bring him before a drum-head court-martial of military officers who intend to weakening the morale of the tens of thousands out in a struggle against the wage slashing, the vicious at- tacks of the police on picket lines, the scores of arrests, heavy fines, and jail terms meted out, succeeded only in awakening a blaze of resertment that manifested itself by drawing in- to active struggle thousands who have hitherto been inactive. It was also learned through un- official though reliable sources that a number of policemen on the New Bedford force have been summarily i dismissed for refusal to participate in terrorizing the pickets. All these are being replaced by police from Boston and other nearby cities. That the mill owners ranks are by *|no means unified becomes ‘evident from the miserable failure of the at- tempt of the Nonquitt mills to secure seabs. They sert agents to the house of every skilled worker with “attrac- tive” :ffers to return to work.

At the time of being turned over to the military authorities he was out on bail of $1,300 pending appeal on a sentence of five months in jail. Arrested For Singing. The arrest which resulted in Porter being turned over to the army was on the charge of singing on the picket line. He was arrested at 4 p. m. June When bail was furnished at 6 o’elock, the civil authorities refused to release him, saying that he would be turned over to the Federal govern- ment. At 10 p. m., he was sent to the military prison at Ford Rodman, near this city. At Hard Labor. While awaiting trial by general court-martial, Porter is forced to do hard labor. He is held incommuni- eado and representatives of workers’ organizations and friends are not per- mitted to see him. The right of bail has been denied him by the army officers. Mobilizing For Defense. The preparations for defense are being made by the International La- bor Defense, and the Young Workers (Communist) League of this city has issued an appeal for the support of Porter by all labor organizations, pointing out that his arrest is due to. his participation in the strike, and that his imprisonment’ is an inter- vention by the War Department. on the side of the textile barons against the ‘workers.

SCORE FASCIST | TERROR AT MEET GRAND RAPIDS (By Mail) —A’| conference to pretest against the! white texror in Poland was held re- | cently in Grand Rapids at the Ukrain- ian Hall, 59 Seward Avenue. The call | for the conference -was sent out by the Russian Workers Literary Circle. | The following organizations are so far affiliated with the conference: The Russian Workers Literary Circle, | The Ukrainian Workers Dramatic | Circle, The Polish Branch of the In-} ternational Labor Defence, and the Ukrainian Working Women’s Aid So- | ciety. An, executive committee of seven delegates were elected that started to function immediately. The com- ;1aittee resolved te pledge its fullest | moral and financial support for the ' defence of the White Russian, Ukrai- jnizn, and other Minority Nationali- Committee of the National Utilities Association, in other words the Power Trust, show that at least $1,000,000, was spent in the last three years for propaganda favorable to the gas, elec- trie light and electric railway in- terests, so that they can continue to mulet the workers of this country of hundreds of millions yearly. This money to write was spent all the way from Richard. Washburn Child, former United States ambassa- | dor to Itgly, for an unsigned “book- let” opposing government ownership of Boulder Dam, down to obscure text book writers who wrote “specially pre- pared” books for use in high schools. Of course, according to the investiga- tion made by the federal trade com- mission, the “sane and sober” profes- } \sors at our leading universities were not overlooked by any means, for $62,- 000 was spent at Harvard, $95,000) (estimated) at Northwestern Uni-} versity, over $12,000 at the University | of Michigan, $5,000 at John Hopkins, $33,000 at Howard University, $3,000 | at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, ete., ete. i “News Service.” Newspapers were paid for “news! service” reports issued by these vul- | tures who were even successful in} placing sueh “news” in the editorial All this kind of rubbish is a very old story and has become rather commonplace.
