Because of the class struggle program and militant tacties The Long Record of Arrests | It goes without saying that the As soon as the workers undertake the | struggle against injunctions, the no- torious Section 600 of the Penal Code of the State of New York is immed- iately invoked. Section 600 declares: “Wilfull dis- obedience to the lawful process or other mandate of a court is a mis- demeanor.” Mass arrests take place, workers are given no opportunity to answer cherges against them, our lewyers are not given the right to cross examination, The court becomes. the prosecutor, judge and attorney. No jury, no indictment, no pleading, no trial, and the workers are found guilty of “contempt of court” ei are immediately fined and impris- | oned, During last year 2,200 food workers were arrested in the struggle against injunctions and 1,000 were convicted. T™ the cafeteria workers strike 1,800 were arrested, 560 were given jail sen- tences totalling 4,000 days in jail. Four hundred additional arrests were made under Section 600 resulting in 240 convictions and a total of 9,600 days in jail for our militant workers. | In the last general strike of shoe| workers there were 700 arrests and | 300 convictions. i Scores of Injunctions | Immediately after the Furniture Workers Industrial Union was form- ed, @ few months ago, and strike struggles developed in Brooklyn, the newly organized union was right away faced with a score of injunctions. As these lines are written, one of the most vicious injunctions was issued against the Metal Workers Industrial League and the Trade Union Unity Council, in connection with the strike of the Durable Tool Co., has been issued. The Food Workers Industrial Union gets new injunctions every day. In the present strike of the fish work- ers, 63 bosses signed an injunction against the union. United Front of Reaction The bosses together with the New} York Chamber of Commerce and the American Federation of Labor buro- cracy are trying through injunctions, to outlaw and declare illegal the Trade Union Unity.

SHERIFF OF BELL COUNTY DECLARES UNION ILLEGAL: (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) Spider Smith asked her if she be~ lieved that churches should be destroyed. She replied that in Soviet Union that was a question that workers themselves determined and she advocated that American work- ers, too, be allowed to determine such questions for themselves, She was then asked if she had Negro blood. She replied that she did not but would be proud to proclaim it if she did and added that even though she didn’t have Negro blood she was fighting to save the Scottsboro boys from being legally murdered and that it was duty of all white workers to do likewise. She answered the question as to her being member of Communist Party with the reply that she was very proud that she was, and then gave the full Party program. Her answer to Smith’s question as to whether she favored the overthrow of the United States Constitution, her answer was she and all Commu- from carrying through their plans. ‘The witnesses for the prosecution were the wife of a Knoxville min- ister and the wife of a Pineville phy- sician, A meeting of the central Strike Relief Committee was held in Knox- ville last night with Alfred Wagenk- necht, W.I.R. National Secretary. ‘The following plans were agreed up- on. All shipments of food and cloth- ing are to be made to this commit- tee in Middlesboro, Kentucky. (The Pineville warehouse is still occupied by gun thugs). The workers must not think that the terror has made relief distribution to starving miners impossible. This morning food was sent to 440 families in Wallins Creek, 145 families in Gatliff, 220 families in Straight Creek, and 310 families in Four Mills. Three major distrib- utions of food have been made to the strike area as a whole since the writers committee was arrested and kidnapped last Wednesday. The dis- tributing apparatus has been im- proved and protected and is now court house last Saturday foresha- dowed this. Coal operators, officers of the National Guard and American Legion, representatives of the owning class of Knoxville crowded the court room. Their intention now is to ex- pel the W.LR. from the ‘city by mak- ing it impossible to secure another headquarters, ‘Thus the rich and plentifully pro- vided for of Knoxville join hands with the vicious coal barons of Kentucky to assist in the terror and starva- tion program of the Kentucky-Tenn- essee coal mine owners.

This tension has increased greatly in the past few days as a result of the huge mobilization of Japanese armed forces at Shanghai and the fear of the other imperialists that the Japanese intend to take more than their share in the looting of Chins. The proposal seeks also to establish a permanent imperialist war base at the mouth of the Yangtze River for the attack on the Chinese Soviet Republic in Central China. ‘The proposal is supported by Am- erican and British interests in Shanghai. ‘The imperialist war base proposed would include all of the South China city of Shanghai and territory 25 miles west of that city. It would take in the other Chinese cities of Liuho, Paoshan and Woosung on the ‘Yangtze, Quinzan and Chanju on the Shanghai-Nanking railway and ter- ritory as far as Sunkiang on the Shanghai-Hangchow railway. From this territory, which is the gateway to the rich Yangtze Valley, the im- pertalists would carry out a joint armed intervention against the Chin- ese Revolution and tis Red Army. ‘Two Worlds at War Today Armed intervention against the Chinese Revolution is a prelude to the proposed armed attack against the Soviet Union. It represents a war between two worlds—a war of desperation waged by dying capital- ism against the rising and flourishing Soviet world. It is the most des- perate attempt yet made by decaying capitalism to get out of the crisis which is engulfing world capitalism. Today, it Is being waged in China at the expense of the blood of the tolling masses. Today, armed in- tervention against the Soviet Union is being prepared at the expense of starvation and denial of relief to the starving unemployed mil- ‘The Chinese referred to are “emi~ nent Chinese” friendly to the impe- Chinese masses and acted the role of hangmen for the imperialists. The Japanese appreciation for these traitors was well expressed yesterday by the Japanese Admiral Nomura. A Shanghai dispatch reports him as.re- ferring to the heroic Chinese soldiers and workers who are defending the Chapei district of Shanghai in the following words: “We Japanese are not on speak- ing terms with the Chinese here,” But at Nanking, the Chinese and Japanese are able to talk it through.” Under the leadership of the Chin- ese Communist Party, the Chinese workers at Shanghai have more and more gained control over the Chapei district, making extremely difficult the efforts of the Kuomintang lead- ers to betray the people's struggle against the Japanese invaders. The soldiers of the Nanking Nineteenth Route Army have formed a Revolu- tionary Council. The revolutionary elements among other Nanking troops are gaining in influence and winning new sections of the soldiers away from the Kuomintang control. As a result of the tense relations between the robber imperialists, the Japanese have been forced to delay their big offensive. The delay is be- ing used by the United States and British imperialists to exert pressure on their Kuomintang tools for an- other attempt to betray the defend- ers of Shanghal. Chiang Kai-shek is being brought to Shanghai to con- tinue on the spot his efforts to dis- arm the Nineteenth Route Army. A Shanghai dispatch reports: “This Indicated to some that he | was willing to risk the power he | now holds in an effort to persuade the Nineteenth Chinese Route Army to withdraw and cease hos- tilities.” Mass Resistance Grows All Over China At Nanking and Chinkiang, the situation is extremely tense, with the | | masses forcing the merchants to stop | supplies of vegetables, meat and | fruits to the Japanese warships me- nacing those cities.

This anti-war youth conference has already arranged a successful anni- versary affair on the occasion of Karl Liebknecht’s death, at which 250 workers and young workers assembled to voice their opposition to bosses war and their resolve to organize themselves to fight the preparations for such wars. The committee is now busy arranging several symposiums on war, in the nature of preparation for the holding of another youth conference against war, Prepare National Youth Day.
