On Tuesday, August 2, a farmers’ and workers’ hunger march wil takel place at Bemidji, to present demands for relief for the unem- ployed workers and poor farmers of Beltrami County, Shall Edith Berkman Die A Prisoner? ° The very life of the beloved leader of the textile workers—Edith Berk- man—is in danger. She is now held by the U. S. immigration authorities as a prisoner in the Central New England Sanatarium, where she can not get much care for her tubercular condition as she should. Her physical condition is not getting better, but instead, even worse. The chief physician of the Rutland Sanatorium examined her on July 5, and admitted she is “not doing as well as he hoped.” In other words, this careful statement from the doc- tor means that the physical condi- tion of Edith Berkman is not getting any better. Why? Everyone knows that any person, who is suffering from tuberculosis, needs good care, physically and men- tally, We also know that when a person jis being held as a prisoner, 4 she can not have such a mental relax- ation as would be absolutely necessary for complete recuperation from tu- bercular condition. Comrade Berkman’s condition is much worse than a prisoner. She is continuously under the brutal de- portation terror of the U.S. Immigra- tion authorities. District Commis- sioner Anna C. M. Tillinghast as a right hand of the “deportation” sec- retary, Wm. N. Doak, is working un- dercover very fast, for trying to de- port Edith Berkman to fascist Poland. Struggle Necessary We must bring the struggle for Comrade Berkman’s release in the forefront of our activity. Especially in the New England district where Comrade Berkman is well known to large masses of workers and sym- Pathizers, we must intensify our fight. Mass demonstrations miust be organized in every city and town as soon as possible. These meetings must be closely connected with the Struggle against the Dies-Fish de- portation bill. Every honest worker, native and foreign born should feel deeply indignant against the discrim- ination and deportation of foreign- born workers, The. International Labor Defense have already taken steps to appeal the Berkman case into U. S. Supreme Court and also are demanding her release on bail, pending final and complete release. But we must not have such illusions that the legal Proceedings alone will save Comrade Berkman for the working-class. The Supreme Court is the highest ex- pression of class justice of the ruling class. Fight Dies Bill The fight for the release of Edith Berkman is the fight against the Dies-Fish deportation bill, It is a joint fight of native and foreign born, Negro and white workers, and all who are sympathetic to our struggles. Organize mass demonstrations, send protest resolutions to Secretary of Labor, Doak, Vice-President Curtis, U.S. Senators of your state, and U. 8. Supreme Court Judges, demanding immediate-release of Edith Berkman, protest against her illegal detention for the last. nine months, protest against the Dies deportation bill. A broad mass activity is needed NOW. Do not delay even one day. DOWN WITH THE DEPORTATION POLICY OF THE DOAK-HOOVER GOVERNMENT. Mexican Workers Defeat Attempt to Break Rail Strike The Mexican Government has fail- ed in its atempts to break the strike of the workers on the Southern Pa- cific. Railway of Mexico. General Abelardo Rodriguez, Minister of In- dustry and Commerce, who denounced the struggle of the workers against starvation wages as “unpatriotic” is trying to fool the men into returning to work and submitting to arbitration. E. B. Sloan, manager of the Amer- iean-controlled road, issued a synical statement yesterday in answer to the workers’ demands for. better pay, in which he declared that the company “has nothing more to give away,” He argued that the road was not likely to suffer much as freight, its revenue would be increased from the fast ac- cumulating freight. He declared that the company would not consider any raise in wages. ——————— RUSSIAN ART SHOP PEASANTS’ HANDICRAFTS 100 East 14th St. N. Y. C.

Ford, Negro worker and Communist Party vice- presidential candidate, crowds of workers nad poor farmers, Negro and white, are making prepar- ations to receive his message in seven different localities in New Jersey. Ford will visit this state of huge trusts and war industries at a time when the city and state officials are perfecting a system of “slave-labor” to .be introduced in all cities, thru- out the state by which unemployed workers are to be forced to work for the slop they get in the form of “re- lief.” There is a growing army of unemployed reaching a million in the state, with hundreds of thousands liv- ing in hunger and destituation. The newly formed District 14 of the Communist Party, in an effort to reach many tens of thousands of Ne- gro and white workers to have them hear Ford, has issued thousands of leaflets, declaring that two ways are Proposed out of the present crisis: the bosses’ way, as represented by the three capitalist parties is the way of hunger, war and greater unemploy- ment and wage cuts; the workers’ way, as represented by the Communist Party and its candidates, is through struggle for unemployment relief and insurance, at the expense of the state and the employers and the wage cut- ting policy of the bosses.” } Ford's Jersey meetings follow: Sunday, 7:30 p.m, at the W.
