Andrews, Johnson and Gwyn are out on $2,500 bail, pending an ap- | peal against the sentence of the boss-controlled Judge Cowan. “These three workers,” says the Communist Party statement, “were convicted. for the violation of the criminal syndicalism law, which was enacted in Ohio during the World War to smash every resistance of | the American workers against im- perialist slaughter. “The condition of the masses of RUBIO TO GIVE LANDLORDS CASH U. 8.

It is a part of the Hoover propaganda to slough over | the growing crisis. | When Jones says there has been “some curtailment in production,” he overlooks the fact that the steel | industry is runnnig at 50 per cent, | is | and the automobile industry is at a | virtual standstill. The prospects of unemployment | for the future are better outlined by statements emanating from capi- talist industry heads. ecutives, in a burst of enthusiasm, say production in 1930 will be cut only 15 per cent below 1929.
