MASS PROTEST MOVING IL.W.W. The great storm of mass protest against the railroading of the Gastonia strikers to the electric chair has caused Industrial Solidarity, the organ of the Industrial Workers of the World, to make the fol- lowing statement: editorially: “Labor throughout the world must rally to the defense of our fellow workers now so terribly beset by the wolves of capitalism whose jaws are slavering for their flesh and blood. These workers must not die. Nor must they be immured in North Carolina bastilles as have been buried alive the Centralia boys, Mooney and Billings, Godlasky, Venturato and so many other heroic members of labor's class conscious vanguard. This is ah issue of workers’ unionism. The South’s textile bosses naturally do not want workers’ unionism and they want to symbolize its destruction in the executed bodies of union workers. We workers do want unionism of our class. Our duty is plain. We must prevent the electrocution of the North Carolina defendants regardless of all industrial or political differences,” HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF WORKERS TO HEAR RELEASED GASTONIA WOMEN. Vera Bush, Amy Schechter, Sophie Melvin will speak at the fol- lowing cities to mass meetings: Washington, Friday, August 9; Phila- delphia, the 10th; New Bedford, the 11th; New York, 12th; Lawrence, 13th; Paterson, N. J., and Providence, R. I., 14th; Passaic and Allen- town, the 15th. Halls to be announced in later issue. CARRY ON IN OKLAHOMA CITY DESPITE POLICE BAN. J. I.

The presidium of the Fifth National Convention of the Young Communist League of Canada has sent the following greetings to Gastonia: “Comrades, your fight is the fight of all workers. We in Canada will do our utmost to free you, to place you once more in the ranks of the organizations to which you belong. Already the Canadian Labor Defense is conducting a wide campaign throughout the land on your behalf.” WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA MOBILIZING.

A discu | Sion took place in the home of Ge: jeral Max Hoffman and a number oi |members of the German Reichstag | participated and declared themselves in agreement with the plans for 2 | war on the Soviet Union. | The decisive conference then took place in the Hague, of all places. and was attended by the British whe sent the oil King Sir Henry Deterd- ing, his private other members of the Royal Dutck |Shell Company. General Hoffmenr {was of course also present. | Karumidse describes the confer: ence as follows: “An agreement was jcome to about the following ques: tions: Georgia was to be freed with jthe assistance of moderate politi- cians abroad. It was also discusseé how far General Hoffmann mighi utilize the assistance of Russian cir- jcles. It was decided to reject al jassistance from the side of Russiang who wished to replace Bolshevi by a monarchy, as the national Georgians were opposed to unitar4 government.

Finally Deterding went to |the U. S. with a view to coming tc an agreement with the president of the Standard Oil Company concern- ing joint action. From this moment fundamental differences showed themselves in the ranks of the con- spirators and delayed the action. Deterding was and is still inter- ested in his profits in Georgia and nothing else. He was prepared to content himself with the autonomy of Georgia, because his oil interests demanded no more. General Hoff- man, however, wanted to deliver “a decisive blow against Moscow,” whereas the British conspirators con- sidered such an undertaking hop less. When Hoffman declared th: he was prepared to act if necessai without British assistance if only the financial side of the question was settled, the conspirators got the idea of forging Tchervonetz, Ka- rumidse says about this question: “T accept full responsibility for the idea and the execution of the for- geries. The idea existed generally in all anti-Bolshevist circles and all Russian emigrant tendencies har- bored it.
