This means that 2,500 Daily Workers’ go to the home of Ella May Wiggins, the fighting Bessemer City woman mill worker who was mur- dered for her militancy. Women’s Council 2 of Newark, N. J., assured the workers of a south- ern mill town 1,000 copies of the Daily, when it sent $10 to the “Drive to Rush the Daily South.” Other high-lights will be published in succeeding issues.

Yesterday indications were given by the state’s attorneys that a double: trap would be set to railroad the Marion strikers. Solicitor J. W. Pless, Jr., an- nounced that the special grand jury had again indicted the defendants, this time on a charge of rioting and resisting an officer. When defense council objected, the court agreed to drop the second charge for the |present, but indicated that the charge would be held as a club in |reserve against the strikers after Hoffman was freed. This indication was scen in the |court’s statement that the rebellion charge, “which constituted a felony carrying a 15-year prison term and a $1,000 fine, could not be put in |the same class as resisting an of- ficer and causing a riot.” A law unusued by the capitalist |courts of this state since 1861 is the ‘basis of the attempt to railroad the five strikers. * * GREENVILLE, S. C., Nov. 13. The National Textile Worke Union held a city conference Sun- day in Greenville to which delegates from seven mills were present, rep- | resenting 6,500 mill workers. The | conference was opened by Sophie Melvin, Greenville organizer. James Reid, national president of the N. T. W. U., reported on the Charlotte Conference. A discussion followed. Every worker who spoke |told of the miserable stretch-out sys- tem, the low wages and the need for ‘a union. oldest and largest in the South, the delegate reports that a year ago they had four weavers to 104 looms; now the bosses have cut it to two weavers, but the wages remained the | same, $10.50 on the average.

They would | |send in strikers to clean the ma-_ |chinery, strikers to guard against | | destruction of mill property, but | nothing was done to organize a mili- jtant fight against the bosses. | |“That’s why the U. T. W. has no local in Poinsette any more,” a dele- gate said. The workers there are joining the N. T. W. U., reported the Poinsett delegate. In Greenville, the N. T. W. U. now has a permanent headquarters and will continue organization. This coming Sunday a mass meeting will be held to report on the conference. A committee of the Leaksville strikers were present. Two of them spoke explaining the situation. The \conference decided to do its utmost jin support of the strikers. Amy Schechter reported on the | International Labor Defense.

The International Labor Defense succeeded in having the bail reduced on each from $15,000 to $4,500. No trial date has been set. The courts are keeping this sword hanging over the workers’ heads, so that the sud- den calling of the trial might find their defense unprepared. | se ® Accorsi Trial Off Till Dee. 9. PITTSBURGH, Nov. 13.—The trial of Salvatore Accorsi, the work- er whom the bosses’ courts are try-| ing to frame on murder cha: growing out of the Cheswick, Pa., Sacco-Vanzetti demonstration on August 22, 1927, has been postponed | until December 9. The state had an-} nounced a few days ago that the trial would begin in Pittsburgh next Monday morning. State Uses Trick. 1 In order to fascilitate the railroad- ing of Accorsi to the electric chair, the state prosecuting attorneys :failed to notify Jacob Margolis, at- torney for the International Labor Defense, defending Accorsi, about the postponement unti] less than a week before the case had been scheduled to start. The law states that the defense must be notified, three weeks before a postponement. || Grew Out of Sacco Demonstration. The frame-up atttempt against Accorsi dates from a demonstration of coal miners of Cheswick, on Aug. |22, 1927, against the murder of Sac- co and Vanzetti. Great brutality was | displayed by coal and iron police in breaking up the demonstration and a policeman who was about to strike a worker with his club was shot,) dying from the wound. i Many witnesses state that Accorsi | ‘was not present at the demonstra- tion.
