Cents es ~ Price 3 They Did “Not Choose” The Soviet flyers who have been acclaimed from coast to coast by the American workers as symbols of proletarian genius and power, are remarked in the bourgeois press to have cancelled an engagement to appear at an American Legion flying show in honor of the New York police flying corps. It is said—though we learn of it for the first time—that the Soviet flyers claim the Legion has treated them impolitely as they crossed the country. About this, an evening swill-barrel of sex and silliness, remarks | that the American Legion is “not a militaristic or jingoistic order.” This lie it follows up with the insult that the sooner the Soviet: flyers leave the better the capitalist paper will be pleased. The strike-breaking and fascist role of the American Legion is too well-known to deserve space in an American workers’ paper to re- fute it by reciting the countless times the American Legion has acted as fascist shock troops for the employers against the workers, Nor will any worker bewail the cancellation of the engagement of thé flying symbols of Soviet proletarian power to atend a show-off of Tammany aviator police who are training to drop gas bambs on the heads of New York workers. White properly abiding by the diplomatic re- strictions on their visit, the Soviet birdmen have as much right as Coolidge in “not choosing,” and every class conscious American worker will feel a warmer spot in his or her heart for these proletarian representatives of a land of workers’ freedom, that they choose not to dignify the aggregation of unofficial and official strike-breakers with their presence. Centralia—and Ten Years of Change Behind the bars of Walla Walla penitentiary in the state of Wash- ington, are eight working class fighters for whom November 11 is the tenth year of torture and imprisonment. In the period since Nov. 11, 1919, hundreds of other workers have fallen victim to the class jus- | tice of the bourgeoisie, and today Gastonia, by its similar background and causes to that of the Centralia case, must draw our attention to | these eight lumber workers who endure the numb torture of the years behind the walls at Walla Walla. Nor must we forget their Hand 4 worker, Wesley Everest, whose body lies rotting in some unknown spol where *his murderers hid it ten years ago. In recalling this decade of tragedy, we must not forget to resolve, and to carry out our resolve in deeds, to free these proletarian fighters in the only way they can be freed—by class war against American imperialism pushed to its final goal. But to do so, we must estimate the changes that have occurred and the present relation of social forces and their organizational expression. Ten years ago, on Nov. 11, American imperialism was celebrating its victory in the past world war and starting the consolidation of its forces in a drive for world domination that is swiftly leading to another world war. In the past world war, the I. W. W. (Industrial Workers of the World) despite all its syndicalist confusion, was the outstanding organ- ization struggling against imperialist war, though only a few of its more ideologically advanced members were conscious of its role. While it officially “ignored” the imperialist war, and its general lack of clarity and its decentralized looseness paralyzed its actions so far as any posi- tive and well-defined fight against war was concerned, holding it back from drawing the necessary political conclusions in action to which its premise—the principle of class struggle—-would otherwise have taken it, nevertheless it was an anti-war force to be reckoned with—as the government fully recognized in the terror unleashed against its members. The I. W. W. did not understand, and hence could not follow, the theory and practice of Leninism, which would have clearly shown it the impossibility of dividing the class struggle in two supposedly sepa- yate and independent parts—the economic and political. But it waged a bitter fight in war industries for better wages and shorter hours in a time of war, and for all that it clung to the notion that this had “noth- ing to do with politics,” for all that it rejected the idea that the duty of the revolutionary proletariat in time of imperialist war is to turn it'into civil war, the I. W. W. was the object of ruthless civil war against it by the bourgeoisie, which suffered from no illusions. This fight of the I. W. W. in war industry, against the Lumber Trust of the Pacific northwest, drew upon it the fire of all forces of capitalist terror. And this terror continued after the war precisely be- cause at that period, the whole world proletariat was on the offensive, encouraged by the victory of the Russian working class. The illusion of “peace” woven around “Armistice Day” was taken advantage of to wage war against the workers. The fascist American Legion was mobilized to celebrate “peace”—carrying guns to shoot and ropes to hang the I. W. W. lumber workers of Centralia. The Chamber of Commerce, dominated by the Lumber Trust, was in charge and or- ganized all fascist elements to raid the I. W. W. lumber workers’ union hall. But the I. W. W. stood their ground, and led by Wesley Everest who himself was returned from war with a record of heroism in action, met the attackers with gunfire and gave them shot for shot, four of the fascist mob were killed. As a result all members of the I. W. W. in the hall, and some out- side, were jailed for murder, and that same night one of the most ghast- ly murders was carried out, when Wesley Everest who had been cap- turéd after a battle, was taken from jail by business men, horribly mutilated, hung, riddled with bullets and his body cast in a grave—the location of which is unknown to this day. As in Gastonia, no one of those responsible, although the leaders were well known, was ever prosecuted. The mock trial, held under con- ditions of martial law, resulted in Eugene Barnett, Ray Becker, Bert Bland, O. C. Bland, John Lamb, James MclInerny, and Britt Smith, being sentenced to the penitentiary practically for life, under sentence of from 25 to 40 years, while Loren Roberts, judged insane, is im® prisoned to this day in the same prison without any sentence being passed! Although it was not proven that those now in prison did any firing, and it was proven fully that these workers had every reason to fire in defense of their union and their lives, though seven jurymen since repudiated their verdict and even one prosecutor has asked their release—these workers are still enduring a living death in prison. Today the Gastonia case is a new expression of the rising general class struggle in the United States. It more emphatically shows the new inter-twining of the economic and political struggle against capi- talism as a whole. Another new fact is the leading role played by the Communist Party, following a Leninist line of .struggle against war and for class emancipation. The lack of political program, the syn- dicalist theory, the decentralized leadership confusedly clinging to out- worn formulae and cherishing all sorts of petty bourgeois anarchist illusions of the peaceful transformation of capitalism into a cooperative society, sapped the life from the I. W. W., rendered it into a futile phrase-mongering sect and caused it to disintegrate. It no longer stands to the front in leading struggle against capitalism, its prestige gained from past struggles is lost and its best members have joined the Communist Party, The Communist Party, responding to every struggle, broadening its basis continuously sin the everyday class battles and connecting them up with the general class struggle for the overthrowal of capitalism, is the inheritor of/all the revolutionary traditions of the I. W. W., of Bill Haywood, Ford and Suhr, Joe Hill, Frank Little, and the Centralia vic- tims as well. In this period, when after years of re-construction the Soviet prole- tariat is launching an offensive in socialist construction, while in the capitalist world the proletariat is passing over to the offensive and IN TWO CITIES Helps Break Dress Strikes in Phila.., Cincinnatti ‘Sabotages Raah Men {Has Phila.

The strike of the Leaksville, North Carolina woolen mill workers is the first answer of the Carolina textile workers to the bosses’ effort to shoot the National Textile Workers’ Union out of the South. Enraged at the fact that N. T. W. leaflets and copies of the Daily Worker distributed to the Leaksville men woke those workers up to the class struggle, the Leaksville woolen mill bosses have resorted to the mill bosses’ usual weapon—terror. And that terror must be answered by the fellow workers of the Leaksville strikers—answered by a display ofssolidarity which will keep the enthusiasm of the Leaksville workers on the picket line at the highest possible pitch, It’s the duty of working class groups to adopt the Leaksville mill workers and see to it that the Daily Worker is rushed to them—and kept coming to them always.

The fact that the grand jury had to be in court to | pass inspection of the witnesses, and that Howard Shope had already pointed out Grand Jur- or W. A. Gardner as one who “favored a man I saw among the killer it is understood here, precipitated Carpenter’s decision te end the farce. The mill owners’ forces could not have other wit- nesses corroborating Swope. Judge P. A. McElroy then de- clared that fourteen of the men identified during these hearings as among the murder gang, would be held to the grand jury for intict- ment. The grand jury of Gaston County, completely under control of the mill cwners, has already refused to bring in true bills against nine cf them. Those held are: Horace Wheeler, Jack Carver, W. M. Borders, Troy Jones, Fred T. Marrow, E. F. Haynie, L. M. Sosso- man, Lowrey Davis, O, H. Lunsford, Theodore Simms, George Fowler, M. H. Holbrook, L. H. Thompson and Yates Gamble. All these men are either bosses or hired gunmen of the Loray mill, against which the strike was de- clared, in the course of which Ader- holt’s raid took place and the Gas- tonia case arose. They had smashed a union meeting in South Gastonia September 14, followed a truck load of workers from Bessemer City out onto the high ,» blocked and wrecked the truck by driving a car in ahead of it, then opened fire into the textile workers riding on the truck, and pursued ‘em with shot as they fled. The first shot firec killed Ella May, an active National Textile Worker Union member of Bessemer City. The first nine gangsters identi fied at the coroner's inquest were freed by the grand jury, one mem ber of which, according to Swope, was in th emurder gang. Fake Investigation. Mass resen nent and the desire to d oa better job of white-washing forced Governor Gardner to ordei a re-opening o fthe investigation and he app inted for that purpose Judge McElroy. Major Bulwinkle, attorney for the Manv:"2 Jenckes Co. Loray mill, defended those identified. Solicitor Carpenter, him- self identified as a leader of an- other lynching party that flogged N. T. W. Orgaaizer Ben Wells, pre- tended to prosecute. The whole procedure was obviously a trick to stifle protest. In the course of the investigation, however, much proof that the mur- derer is known and that he is an agent of the Loray mill came out. Bill Bradley, who was in the truck, testified that one man in the gang held up his hand when the shot hit Ella May and called out: “Hey there, fellows, that’ll do.” J. B. McClendon, another union- ist, said that as he and others were carrying Ella May to a nearby house, a member of the murder gang came up and ordered them to stop. He explained he was taking the dy- ing woman to the houes for treat- ment. He was permitted to pro- ceed whiel others in the group were held on the roadside. “I don’t want to kill you,” the Loray gunman said, “but I'll do it if any of you try to run away.” Hobart White, 16, testified that he offered to fight one member of the mob when the truck was held up, but the man assaulted him with a weapon, breaking his arm, ones Makes a Bull.
