The Communist Party has no apology for being the first to fight for these defenseless boys. It called and calls again now for the support of every organization to unite on one issue alone, hamely the fight to free the nine Negro boys in Alabama. No matter what differences exist on other questions there is room here for the broadest united front struggle. The International Labor Defense, in all of its fights for the working class and the Negro people which are supported by the Communist Party one hundred per cent, is composed of many persons and elements, not all of whom by any means are Communists. The ILD rightly is drawing into this fight every person willing to fight for the most fundamental rights of the Negro people and the working class, to defeat this brazen and brutal murder which no human being can defend without placing himself side by side with the murderers who so commonly use the burn- ing stake and the lyncher’s rope. . HE united front of the defense includes also Negro ministers who, even though they disagree in some other matters with some who were the first to fight for these boys, nevertheless have the courage to oppose this heartless murder of the children of our people. The lynchers have evidently reached some other ministers with the attempt to divide those forces who are uniting for defense of our inno- ent boys. Some of these weak and pliant men tried recently in a minis- ters’ conference in Chattanooga to put through a repudiation of the ministers’ earlier cooperation with the International Labor Defense's cam- paign to save the boys. The indignant resistance against this heartless proposal by some of the ministers caused it to be withheld. The two colored ministers who went with Roddy on the expedition on behalf of the prosecutor, surely must have gone without the approval of the Min- isters’ Alliance, The coming to New York of Mrs. Patterson, mother of one of the boys standing in the shadow of the electric chair, is a reminder of the fact that the parents of these boys are themselves actively participating in the defense organized by the International Labor Defense. But lt it be emphasized that the defense must be a united front-of all who are willing to fight against this hideous frame-up and murder. All who are willing to fight—join the fight! - Negro workers and white workers! Defeat every attempt of the electric chair murderers to divide the united front to save the lives of these boys!

CORRECTION By error, the article in Wednes- day’s Daily Worker on the arrival of the Pennsylvania state hunger marchers at Harrisburg, the dem- onstration and presentation of de- mads, states: “There were over 400 Hunger Marchers, of which the two largest groups were from Philadel- phia and Chester.” This should read, “she two larg- est groups were from Philadelphia and Pittsburgh.” The Pittsburgh delegation numbered 128, mostly miners and steel workers. Three of the four who spoke for the hun- ger marchers at the joint session of the legislature were from the Pitts- burgh distrjct. They were: Ike Hawkins, leader of the marchers from western Pennsylvania, and representative of the National Min- “ers Union; Pat Cush, of the Metal Workers Industrial League of the T.U.U.L.; and Boswell, leader of the Avella mines. formerly up to $32.50 We can match extra Bankrupt Stock » PURCHASED FROM AUCTIONEERS MEN’S, YOUNG MEN’S SUITS, OVERCOATS AND TOPCOATS MEN’S FINE PANTS $5 to #10 Value for ........
