TO RAILROAD LEADERS OF THE UNEMPLOYED
Capitalists' Revenge Must Be Answered
(Continued from Page One)

Assault charge is based on the scratch that Patrolman Albert Talbott received on his head when he viciously assaulted men, women and children, under Whalen's orders, at the March 6th demonstration in Union Square.

This is the answer of the boss class to the right of workers defending themselves from the brutality of the bosses' armed thugs and police.

Whalen has kept Talbott secreted in St. Vincent hospital, though Patrolman Talbott has repeatedly declared there is nothing the matter with him and he wanted to go home and go back on duty beating up other workers who demonstrate and fight against capitalism. However, he is living the life of Riley in the hospital, as part of Whalen's plot against the committee representing the 110,000 unemployed New York workers who fought for the demand of Work or Wages.

Workers Must Force Release.

It is very evident that the capitalist class, through its legal and police machinery, will do everything in its power to keep these five leaders in jail until the might of the workers force their release. They will be re-arrested and another heavy bail slapped against them.

Immediate mobilization of the workers against this capitalist vengeance against the leaders of the unemployed movement, which is fighting for the demands of the 7,000,000 jobless in the United States.

Rush Bail Immediately.

A call to all workers and friends of the working class in the United States to immediately rush bonds, stocks, funds (cash, Liberty bonds and stock certificates) for bail for William Z. Foster, Robert Minor, Israel Amter, Joseph Lester, Harry Raymond, and the hundreds of other workers arrested throughout the country, has been issued by the International Labor Defense.

Open Class Rule.

"Never before in the history of the American working class, has the ruling class, its police, its courts and its authorities worked so openly, hand in hand in the arrest and court procedure toward the committee chosen by the 110,000 workers in the New York unemployed demonstration," says a statement issued by the I.L.D.

"This is a clear-cut class case. It is the capitalist class and its tools conspiring against the working class. Conferences between Commissioner Whalen, the district attorney, the assistant district attorneys, have taken place and continue, to raise the "misdemeanor" charges against the workers, into "felony" charges, which mean long prison terms.

"The entire working class, employed and unemployed, who have taken part in or seen the tremendous efforts of the unemployed demonstrations, must work at once to liberate the leaders and the workers in capitalist clutches since March 6.

Workers must realize the necessity for continued struggle to win the demand 'Work or Wages,' the struggle for organization, for building the unions, for spreading and intensifying the revolutionary working class movement.

"Answer this attack, these malicious lies by hurling back the lies of the bosses into their teeth. Fight for the release of all workers in prison. Not only for those arrested March 6, but the hundreds arrested in the many strikes and struggles of the working class hitherto; the Potash and Winogradsky frame-up, the Shifrin case, the Mineola case, the fight to rescue the deportation victims from being sent to fascist lands and keep them in the country speaker for the Communist Party.

In Rochester over 6,000 participated in the demonstration; in Erie over 5,000; in Jamestown, 1,000. All workers enthusiastically participated.
