Formerly howling for nothing less than the blood of these innocent | working class children, the Alabama bosses are now intimating that ca- pitalist justice would be satisfied with life imprisonment—a living death for the 9 Negro boys in south- ern dungeons. By this impudent proposal, the Alabama bosses thing to stay the mass fight and stifile the angry protests of the toiltng millions throughout the world, Try Defiect Mass Protest. Writing in the New York Sunday Times, John Temple Graves declares: “Talk of commatation hag been based upon the conviction of many Alabamiens that the youth ef the accused and some of the cireum- stances under which the attacks | were made warrant a measure of Executive clemency for them, even though it was proper and wise that | they should receive death senten- ces from the court.” Graves represents the Southern ruling class. He is doubtless in the | confidence of Judge Hawkins and Governor Miller. He is careful to peddle the fiction of “guilt” and a “fair trial!” His statement indicates that the Alabama bosses finding that (CONTINUED ON PAGE THREE) START DRIVE ON MICHHGAN BILL |Open Air “Meetings In All-Sections of City NEW YORK,—Commencing a cam- | paign to awaken the workers to the dangers of the Michigan Alien | finger-printing and espionage law, | the City Committee for the protec- | tion of Foreign Born Workers has arranged for a series of open air meetings in all parts of the city.

The only witnesses that the policeman could bring into court were other uniformed thugs. Moratias faces a five yeer term for the framed-up charge of feloniousi assault. When he came to hear his sentence today, his case was post- poned because Jacques Buitenkant, ‘his lawyer, was in the supreme court arguing the food workers’ injunction case. It was when Judge Levine |heard that Buitenkant was not there \that he went out of his way to @s- |sure Moratias that he was sure of spending “a good long time in jail.” | Moratias’ only crime is that he pick- eted with his militant fellow work~- lers in the Zelgreen strike that was | brought about because A.

Superior not only in artistry, but excelling in telling the great mass drama of révolution, “The Black Sea Mutniy” equals “Potemkin” and is even more gripping in interest by jpvolving the French intervention in Odessa in 1918. ‘The film well portrays how the sailors of the French fleet, occupy- ing Odessa in the name of “liberty” and French factories—came to be “corrupted” by Bolshevik propa~ ganda, and their devolopment in this up till the climax when they refused to fire upon the city when the Red Guard re-occupied it. Not the least dramatic part, is that played by a French colonial, a Negro sailor, who yefuses under torture to reveal the source of leaflets he distributed among the crew. One must also praise the Soviet Ukraine film artists, who produced “The Black Sea Mutniy,” for their wonderful presentation of characters among the Red Guard and the “Pea- sant Irregulars” who come to their WORKERS— BAT AND DRINK THE REST AT THE LOWEST PRICES assistance, But above all stands out the lesson in the international soli- darity of the workers, a solidarity which is the expression of the love in the hearts of the workers of the capitalist countries for the Soviet Union as their own fatherland. The sailors of the French fleet had to learn this, and the film shows how they learned, how the Bolsheviks taught them, worked with them ana finally wo nthem until, in real life under ‘the lead of the famous French Communist Party, then a sailor, they raised the red flag and mutinied rather than fire upon the Russian workers . The “Black Sea Mutniy” ts worth seeing by every worker. —H. G. Intern’) Workers Order DENTAL DEPARTMENT 1 UNION SQUARE 8TH FLOOR All Work Done Under Persona! Care of DR.
