We quote: i Veteran Fighter “The Cleveland comrades com- plain. that the Daily is not doing justice to their Ohio’ page. In looking over the page, there is some justification. In the March 6 issue there is no newS from the Ohio District either on the front or back page.

ABL URGES BOSS RAID MILITANTS ‘Defends Injunction In Orleans Strike NEW ORLEANS, La., March 13.— | The longshoremen’s strike is now in | its third week and the officials of | | the International Longshoremen’s As- | sociation (AFL) are still preaching to the strikers to be good, and what- |ever they do, never listen to the advice of the Marine Workers’ In-| dustrial Union. The MWIL advises | the strikers to take over the strike into their own hands and carry it on to a victory, as the AFL is plain- ly working for a defeat of the men on strike. The AFL urges all the strikers to obey the injunction against ders from the police force. The ad- vice of the MWIL is exactly the op- posite. The injunction and police allow only four, pickets at each cor- ner. Holt Ross, AFL representative in New Orleans, has 2 signed article in the March 6 edition of “The Fed- pris- | ‘/ears.

The police told him that | ; they would be released if they left town. It is not to be presumed that either Coder or Hurst promised any+ thing of the sort, but suddenly the police threw them out of jail, just as a little gang of men, variously estimated as 12 or 14, appeared on the steps.

The police told him that his father would not be injured. Edwards was indeed released at the city limits. On March 6 the Dallas Dispatch carried the story of the reporter Edward Barr, telling how, without givin gany source for his news, he had leérned Coder and Hurst were taken into the country near Hutch- ins, flogged horribly, and Coder, at last, thrown into Cook’s Branch.

Under these circumstances the Soviet Union, whilst continuing its struggle for the maintenance of peace, may not relax its efforts to increase its defensive capacities. Within the general framework of the struggle for the building up of so- cialism, the fighting capacities of the Red Army must be consolidated and the greatest attention paid to the question of defense.
