The boss papers for two days have carried stories and captions which are nothing less than trying the lynch victim out of court.

Gunn nad the open support given by the boss press of the country ot the lynchers were de- nounced last night in a statement is- sued by the national office, 799 Broadway, of the League of Struggle for Negro Rights. The ‘statement points out that the National Guard was mobilized not to protect the Ne- gro worker but to prevent defense corps from being formed for thr tection of Gunn, and calls upon the Negro and white workers to intensify jhe. work of organizing defense corps t resist the lynchers, and of rallying sider and wider masses of Negro and thite poor farmers and workers to the support of the demand for the i tight of the Negro majorities in the Bisek Belt to decide and control the government in that seetion as the only guarantee against lynching and Negro oppression in capitalist United States.

We consider our presence in this country as tem- porary, but not because we are in dis- agreement with the proletarian dic- tatorship of the Soviet Union, It is a dirty lie when thé socialists or lib- erals in charge of the Civil Liberties Union state that in our opinion life would be better in an American jail than under the Soviet system. The Soviet, Union is our only country and évery enemy and slanderer of the Soviet.Union is also our enemy.

As-part payment for bis valuable services to Morgan end his fellow- capitalists, Brandle is permitted to violate almost as many laws as the capitalists themselves, The Hod Car- riers’ Union once went to court in an attempt to prevent Brandle from re- peatedly selling them out and punish- ing those militants who objected. Brandle’s answer to the suit proved the point of those who filed the suit— that is, he immediately. expelled them fro mthe union without the pretense of an excuse. The suit was quashed and the militants are still out of the union. Of co , appealing to a capitalist court against capitalism was a mistake. They should have ap- pealed to other workers. In an attempt to dodge the slavery Workers’ and Laborers’ Union, an in- dependent local that refused to have anything to do with either Srandle or the A. F. of L. Brandle there- jon requested his allies, the con- ‘actors, to hire no workers who were members of this union. The union then filed suit to prevent Brandle from interfering with its members’ livelihood. It was like filing suit against the combined capitalists of America because they ‘were prevent ing the workers of America from “en joying life, liberty and the pursuit ci happiness.” Henchman Goes to Jail for Him. ‘The nearest that Brandle ever cam to a jail sentence was when a mili- tant worker in opposition to Brand! was shot in circumstances that indis putably’ pointed to Brandle as th: criminal.

Perhaps there is no better illustra- tion of the corruption of the A. F of L. than the story of Brandle’s con- nection with the Iron League of N.

Just how. much “antagonism” of ihe workers was “prevented” may be judged by the fact that soon after Brandle signed the contract with the League, at $25,000 a year, a worker shet at him. On the other hand, the agreement | Proved so profitable to the iron bosses that they gave Brandle an expense account of $80,000 a year and 2 per cent of all the contracts made by all the members of the League. Moreover, Brandle’s ability | a8 a strike-breaker-and-preventer | gained such wide recognition among epen shop employers throughout the country that the Massachusetts Tron League invited him to accept the directorship at a higher salary than | the N. J. Iron League was paying him. Brandle has denied accepting any ‘money from the League for his ser- vices in “perventing any antagonisir between the employer and organized labor,” but elsewhere on this page ‘will be found a photostatic copy of a $10,000 chetk made out to Brandle living of the entire working class. and signed Le ea pete or | ‘Whom did the Iron League pick yee Jersey. randle cashe he as its director general? life delegate of the Ironworkers’ Union, president of the Building Trades of New Jersey, and general organizer in New Jersey for the American Federation of Labor, “The principle in view in select- ing Mr. Brandle,” the Iron League announced, “is the hope of avoiding as wuch as possible the controver- sies arising in the industry, The whole proposition should be one of great tmportance, as for a great number of years the employer and organized labor have been antagon- istic te each other.” Im this short paragraph, almost | without equal in American labor ‘Whom | could it pick but Theqgore Brandle, Brandle’s demand for more and stil! more graft from members of the ‘League became so insistent that they incurred the anger of his bosses Brandle once approached one of them and urged him to buy some stock ir his holding company.
