Helps Lynchers Murder Jimmy Irvine, Negro Worker BULLETIN. WINSTON-SALEM Feb. The lynching wave against Negro workers has broken out here. Lynch gangs are hunting three Negroes as the result of a fantas- tic tale of an attempt to kidnap a child of the Reynolds family, who own the Camel cigarette factory here where 25,000 Negroes employed. de A big mass meeting in Negro Odd Fellows Hall last night by the LL.D. and T.U.U.L. brought masses of Negro and white work- ers to hear Sol Harper, Dewey Martin and Cooper. “ - * OCILLA, Georgia, Feb, 4.—Early | yesterday some 600 armed planters, yusinessmen, overseers and their hangers-on took Jimmy Irvine, Ne- vo farm tenant, from the hands of | the sheriff in the very center of | town. ca d him out into the coun- earved him horribly with pocket | 1 pile of logs, saturated him and he logs with gasoline, and burnea | aim, Irvine’s only offense was that he | was said to have been seen driving FANE CONTROL “YS NTWIU, nued from Page One) ») Ladies Garment Work- ‘ol Union is arranging t akers at ho (ode. and prepare the ne general dress oadership of the plete co-operation of police, socialist nter College gitls ersity stidents, 18 from Union and thou- in answer to ll of. the “Senleninger union. left those shops where they ‘hed ont by the bosses, who as both the Dress Manufac- 5 the LL.G.W. ded into the Indu W. 28th St., really on don’t trust ir faces and were “on strike” ti the Seventh Ave. area. biccinger himself, after making ex travagant claims to “25,000 on strike’ admitted yesterday to the s that “only 1,500 have register- in his company union meetings. ed! In many places the bosses, by ar- rangement with the I.L.G.W., rang the five alarms to clear the shops. The Industrial Union, in state- ment issued yesterday estimates the number out of the shops as between 3,000 and 4,000. Some Real Strikes. “Out of this number several hun- dred of the locked out workers have reported to our headquarters and we have declared their shops to strike until the employers will be ready to sign an agreement with our union end grant union conditions to the workers,” said the Industrial | Union. In some cases all in the shop cam to the N.T.W.LU. in a body. “The failure of this strike-lockout proves that the dressmakers recog- nize the object of this maneuver was not to bring about better con- ditions for the workers in the trade, but to establish the company union, by means of which to continue the present sweat-shop conditions in the dress shops,’ says the N.T.W.LU. “The Needle Trades Workers In- dustrial Union, which has been con- ducting an organization drive against open shops for the past few weeks, will intensify its activities in this direction and will also adopt all measures to combat any attempt on the Part of the LL.G.W.U. com- pany union to intimidate by strong- cad mittees those workers em- “—~ contractial relations with our union.” . .ully mobilized 2 orzanization drive a real workers union,” % Joint Board. ‘ jooflet is being prepared which will be distributed today.

WINSTON SALEM, N G., Feb. 4—At a mass meeting held here This photograph shows Joe Bor- ley, 18-year-old Negro worker of Alamo, Tenn., being lynched by a | mob of Southern bosses. In Ocilla, Ga., 600 armed boss planters sev- | eral days ago lynched Jimmy Irv- ine, Negro farm tenant. A mass | meeting is being held in Winston | Salem, N. C. The Trade Union Unity League | j and the International Labor De- | fense are organizing workers de- | fense committees to unite the Ne- gro and white workers against the bosses lynching crew. \last night, well attended by ‘tes FIGHT MURDER and white workers, Sol. Harper, Ni gro Trade Union Unity League pn ganizer and representative of the International Labor Defense, Sotith- | | ern Disrict, pointed ott the need of] workers’ defense corps to stop the | slaughter. attack Industrial Union members. | They made a few arrests of those | who were suspected of arguing for the Industrial Union and for a real | strike for real gains to the workers. | But the fake strike will not be mo- lested. The police are a party to it. The dress manufacturers have | agreed not to let the workers back | until the ten days are up, and the} police are to help them keep up aj lockout, disguised as a strike. | The demands put up by the, | Schlesinger clique are trivial, and | put in words that mean anything or | nothing, for éxample: “A minimum | stale of wages, guaranteeing every | worker a decent living”—The LL. G.W. thugs and grafters and the) greedy bosses to decide what is “a decent living.” Another demand is “Right to the job.” In LL.G.W. shops the union itself has its black- list, there is no “right to the job” for anybody who offends the boss or the ruling clique in the LLL.G.W. The demand for a “5-day 40-hour week” is in 1.L.G.W. company union- ized shops regularly violated by “overtime.” Labor and Fraternal!

The ruling class of the island has united all forces of reaction to try and sway the spirit of revolt into peaceful and submissive channels, but the masses say, “Rise and Seize the Teland.” The same spirit of revolt is shown by the Filipino youth in this coun- try.

BURNHAM TO SPEAK ON SOCIAL INSURANCE FEB. 9 The scope of social insurance as has been conceeded in some of the capitalist countries and its lack in the United States constitutes the main points of the lecture to be given this Sunday, Feb. 9, at the Workers School Forum, 28 Union Square, at 8 p. m. by Comrade Grace Burnham, author and labor research worker, British and American authorities and their spies. Hundreds of Hindu workers have been deported already through the spies’ activities. The deported workers go as unpaid sail- ors on the British ships and are a source of profit to the British authorities.
