D., Jan. 29. — A mob of farmers and merchants last night entered the McKenzie County jail here and took out and lynched Charles Bannon, a 22-year old white} youth farm laborer who had revolted |against the unspeakable conditions of his employment on a farm tee here and in a quarrel with the farm ler is alleged to have killed the tarihae A, E. Haven and his family. That the lynching was deliberately planned is shown by the fact that the youth had been brought here a few days ago from the Williams County jail at Williston, N. D., where he had been held for safekeeping since his arrest. This is further borne out by the failure of the prison authorities to defend the jail and their pris- oner against the masked mob of 85 rich farmers and merchants who were); x’ | permitted to wreak class vengeans| against this youth for -his revolt! against their system of exploitation. It is in this identical manner that the white landowners and merchants jof the South wreak class vengeans on the frightfully exploited Negro workers who dare to revolt against the robbery and exploitation perpe-| | trated against them. Bannon was taken away from the! jail by men travelling in automobiles. His body was found some time later, hanging from a bridge two miles east As frequently occurs in ‘the case of Negro victims of - the the officers of the| southern bosses, boss government had no difficulty} They were | clearly in the plot against the life of this young worker.

The great Moscow trial aroused tremendous interest throughout the world. Despite the cries of “frame~- | up” raised by the capitalist press, the trial succeeded in exposing com- pletely the concrete plans that were | made by the imperialist powers, especially France, for a military at- tack on the Soviet Union in the sum- mer of 1931, It further revealed that | in spite of the wrecking and sabotage of the hirelings of imperialism, the Five-Year Plan has been an over- whelming success, thanks to the yigilance and devotion of the 150,- 000,000 workers and peasants in the Soviet Union. The trial is over. Imperialist war | | danger against the Soviet Union is | growing. All workers are urged to | attend the forum this Sunday to | hear the complete first hand account of the greatest class trial in sepia | and to be readier to fight against | imperialist war and to defetid the Soviet Union. ‘SUPPORT HUNGER MARCH TAG DAY!

This is a clear proletarian duty—and we have no doubt that thousands of workers will be in the streets collect- ing funds for the hunger marches. workers not participating in the col- lection work on the Tag Days must contribute liberally, so that the hun- dreds of workers who march to Al- bany and Trenton will be equipped to make the long marches.

ARTHUR BYRON ©} |UPHOLSTERERS FIGHT EXPULSION Break Up Meet When Officials Try It NEW YORK.-The majority of the members of Upholsterers Union Lo- cal 76 walked out-of the regular quar~ terly meeting Wednesday night i demonstration against the attempt the executive board by trickery to exe Bel four active members. Only two were actually before the local that night officially; they are Kramer and Pustay, but the same case is being made against Borodkin and Klappen also. The charge is based on the fact that a stool pigeon reported them s attending a meeting of the Furniture Workers Industrial League of the T.U.U.L. The officials made out that this mean “conspiracy to build an opposition organization.” The defendants presented the board with a statement exposing the officials’ misdeeds and although the board refused to read it to the local, there was an opportunity for the men to read it themsélves, and to speak. Most of those speaking, except, for the officials, were entirely against ex- pulsion, for they recognize that these four are very active members. The officials then decreed that only those in good standing and with their union books with them could vote. This has hitherto only been done in the case of elections, strike votes, etc. and with much unemployment many of the rank and file can not pay dues. A loud protest went up, and finally a majority walked out and the meet- ing ended in some disorder, without the vote being taken, though it was an election meeting also. S The officials will not call another meeting, and thé rank and file should. be ready te block this expulsion. Come to the next meeting and vote against expulsioh. This is the be- ginning of an expulsion campaign, for the officials have stated that others will be investigated Cooperators! Patronize SEROY CHEMIST 657 Allerton Avenue Estabrook $218 BRONX, N. ¥.
