All are filled with the eloquence, the indignation, the passionate hatred of capitalist exploitation and oppression of the greatest living Communist writer. Henry Barbusse was one of the deluded thousands who fought in the front-line trenches for French im- perialism in the last war. Out of the horror of his experiences he wrote “Under Fire,” the war novel which quickly made him world-fa- mous.

In the room adjoining the courtroom the police reiterated that the Communists would be shot up. Wicks was arrest- ed when he sharply replied that the rolice would get as good as they gaye.

At the trial, these leaders and the witnesses testifying in their defense, will tell the story of the struggle which led up to the attack upon the Gastonia tent colony led by drunken police and followed by the “com- mittee of 100,” who, the defense will prove, were armed at the Loray mill. They will insist that they were correct in defending themselves and the women and children in the colony from what could very easily have Geveloped ‘into a massacre, and ex- pose the affidavits sworn to by police who have been proved thugs and drunkards, as lies. They will tell how the gunmen, with badges and without, put off the attack until most of the menfolk | were in Bessemer City, where a moy- ing picture of the Passaic textile strike was being shown, and then | swooped down upon the colony. Trace Terrorism. The textile workers will trace the terrorism, the intense brutality, which they have been forced to suf- fer from the first day of the strike, from police, with their clubs, guns and gas bombs, notional guardsmen with their ready bayonets (one wo- man will go to her grave with the mark of a cross on her forearm carved by the knife of one bayonet) and from the mill crowd with their determination to uproot the union even if mass slaughter was the price, With great bitterness the strikers speak of the first raid on the re- lief store of the Workers Interna- tional Relief some months back, when the precious foodstuffs, the milk for the babies and meal, which were meant to feed the strikers for a week, made into a muddy yellow paste to line the streets. The later fatal raid, after the strikers had given notice to the gov- ernor of North Carolina that they had built their own hall and would defend it, will be described in de- tail, and the blame will be laid at the door of the mill barons and the police, Right of Uefense. Textile workers in and out of jail are convinced that the case which will open exactly one week from today, will be a trial of the right for militant, left wing unions to ex- ist in the South, of the right of workers to defend themselves against attack, and the right to strike against the slave-like condi- tions the mill operators are going to every and any length to force upon them, The arrested textile union lead- ers are ready to face the court and reiterate that what they did was correct, that their only crime was struggle against the mill bosses’ drive to keep the textile workers en- slaved. The legal defense counsel is ready to face the barrage of the corps of Manville-Jenckes attor- neys.

NEGRO SEAMANIS ACTIVE DELEGATE “New Union to be Hard To Stop” (Continued from Page One) |of years ago.” | Upshaw, one of the nine Negro |delegates at the conference, first jwent to sea in the square-rigged sailing ships leng before the Munson and Dollar lines made modern indus- | trial slaves out of thousands of | marine workers. * All Over the World. “My first trip was to Savannah, Georgia. Since that time I’ve been in every part of the world—Europe, Asia, Australia, ina, Japan and Africa. I’ve received discharges from 28 different customs.” No, he said, he had never been to the U. S. S. R., but would be before long. Stirred by Gastonia. The aged seaman was much moved by the simple, sincere talk made by Amy Schechter, one of the Gastonia defendants, at the conference Satur- day night. “Her description of those fighting people down South who are struggling for a union brought tears to my eyes quicker than anything else in the world. Any worker any- where who doesn’t stand up for real unionism ain’t got the guts of a cat.” Commenting on the plans for the launching of a new industrial union for marine worl:ers, he said, “There is something on foot now that’s go- ing to be hard to stop. It’s the only union that’s..square with the Negro workers. All the other sea- men’s organizations betray. the white workers and try to make scabs out of the Negro workers by keeping them out of the union.” - FIND WOMAN DEAD.
