D. in Grand Frater- | nity Hall, Monday, preparations were made to mobilize all forces at the great mass protest meeting called by the Communist Party, Friday night at City Haill Plaza. The conference Monday adopted | a resolution scoring the class ver-| dict which called seven unionists guilty of murder in the second degree because they dared to de- fend themselves from the killers sent against them by the mill com- pany. The resolution says: “The verdict of the mill owners’ court shocks, but does not surprise the members of the I. L. D. “The International Labor Defense pointed out a tthe time the trial began that by changing the charge to second degree murder the prose- cution merely made a strategic re- treat in the face of the mass pro- test throughout the world. At the same time, however, we had no il- lusions as to the intentions of the prosecution. By this manouever (changing the charge) they elimi- nated all possibility for selecting a fair jury without in any way aban- doning their main objective which was to eliminate the most active organizers and terrorize the textile slaves. Instead of quick death in the electric chair the valiant union members and organizers will now suffer slow death in the dungeons of the state prison.
