Holchock (8), James Gillon (2) and. Geo. Moore (2). The last two are Negroes; the numbers show the size of the families. = “Houses :for Scabs This'mine has not operated for the last six months, but due to bringing scabs to the No. 4 Pittsburgh Coal Co, min, the company wants to use the houses for the imported scabs, When these evictions took place, the fellow strikers divided up their house space. and got all the evicted workers undr roofs.

CIVIL LIBERTIES INVESTIGATOR SCORES VICIOUS FRAME-UP OF NINE SCOTTSBORO NEGRO BOYS {CORTINVED FROM PAGE ONE) misrepresenting the motives of the State of Alabama. ‘The report is a merciless indica- ment of “justice” as meted out to the ‘Negro people by the white ruling class im the South. It condemns the Scotts- boro “trial” as a farce. In referring to the judge and the citizens of less of any testimony.” The report also makes an analysis of the economic status of the Negro masses in the South, and brings out the class basis of the persecution of the Negroes. It states: “As one Southerner im Seottsbero Put-it, ‘we white people jest conid- not-afford to let these Niggets get off becanse of the effect # wouwld Rave on other Niggers!’” The report directly accuses the prosecuting attorney of framing the nine boys, as related to the investi- gator by Victoria Price, one of the two girls forced to testify aagnist the boys. - Miss Ransdall states in her report to the Civil Liberties union thatthe girle spoke to herfrankly because “never having met any other. attitude on the Negro question, they both assumed that this was my at- titude also, and therefore spoke to terrified, bewildered young Negroes lie miserably in their death cells in Kilby prison, awaiting. their execution the on July 10, while the two girls, against whom this ‘most heinous’ crime was allegedly committed, enjoy excellent health and are delighting in the pub- licity brought to them. They both told me with great satisfacttion that their pictures had been taken and put in the papers; that writers had been after their stories; that they had received money from various sources because of the case. The in- jury they are supposed to have suf- fered has meant little to them except profit and excitement which they have found pleasing. “With this contrasting picture in that the Scottsboro trial was ‘fair and just’ and that the nine Negro boys While the sentence of death has been automatically stayed by the ac- tion of the attorneys of the Interna- tional Labor Defense and the League of Struggle for Negro Rights in tak- ing an appeal to the Alabama sup- court, the eight condemned are still held in the death cells ilby Prison, where they are sub- jected to ‘the most revolting and ghastly turture. The electric chair has been moved to a position in front of their cells. They have been forced to witness the execution of a Negro worker. They have been told “it’s your turn next.” Negra and white workers! Smash this vicious, murderous frame-up against 9 working class youths! Join ‘United. Front Sgottsboro Defense movement! Demonstrate on August 1, against imperialist war, against boss preparations for war against the Soviet Union, against the boss lyn- ching terror and full unconditional eqality of the Negro people, including the right of the Negro Majorities in the Black Belt to self-determination —to form and control their own state.

With these very incomplete and scattered reports, one can get a bird’s eye view of the record of the “civilizing” mis- sion of American, British, Japanese imperialism in China. Yet, Mr, Husband, assistant secre- tary of labor, in replying to the pro- test against my deportation to China, stated that “no concrete evi- dence in the support of such a claim” that he is in danger if deported to China. The white terror in China “unsupported!” What a deliberate lie! Because American imperialism is determined to continue its “civ- ilizing” mission of mass starvation and fearful exploitation against which any protest. is a crime and dustifies the murder of workers! MUST HAVE FOOD AND TENTS STRIKE COMMITTEE IN RHODE ISLAND DEFEATS SELL-OUT MOVE (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONED leadership” from the N.T.W.U., and thus to break the strike failed. The meeting was not held. The Strike Committee held its own meeting and decided against the sell-out move. Faber and his one crony didn’t have enough guts to vote down the strike committee proposals. They ab- stained from voting. ‘The Strike Committee called for mass picketing on Monday before the Royal and a strong picket line in front of the General Fabrics. It condemned the action of Faber for private negotiations with the police and the company, and decided that only the Strike Committee can ne- gotiate for the strikers as they were elected by and represent the strik- ers. The Strike Committee re-en- dorsed the leadership of the National Textile Workers’ Union; decided that the bosses were responsible for the police terror which was unpro- voked by the workers. It decided thatthe Strike Committee from the first days was willing and is now willing to enter negotiations with the company for the ending of the strike on the basis of the demands adopted by the workers. The Boston Sunday Globe tells about some of the activities of the strikers as follows: “Meanwhile, the agitators were busily engaged in fitting up new quarters for themselves in a store in Central St. It was a strategic position. The agitators immedi- ately hung up strike bulletins in the window. The sign on the store was ‘Strikers’ Relief Store, conducted by the Strikers’ Conimittee, National Textile Workers” Union, assisted by Workers’ International Relief.” The bulletins—the only official statement of the agitators’ stand ob- tained during the day—follow: “Sunday, 4 pm., come to mass meeting, Japonica and Freight Sts. “Monday—mass meeting at Royal Hotel—all out. “Don’t believe the” boss’ lies about, truckloads of Boston Reds coming in. If you're not yellow, they call you a Red. “If arrested, ask for your lawyer of the strikers’ defense committee. The General Fabrics strike is more than half won. The Weybosset Mill in Providence is standing solid. The Maynard Mili of the A. W. C. is voting on strike today.” These bulletins attracted so much interest that Lieut. Robbins of the State Police, whose troopers had been trying to keep that section of Cen- tral St. clear during the day, be- cause of its proximity to the Gen- eral Fabrics Mill, finally strode into the store and ripped the bulletins down from the windows. We said he based his action on the desire to prevent a crowd from congregasing opposite the store to read the bul- Jetins, which, he claimed, tended to incite trouble in the policed area. “Just about this time the state troopers arrested two men in the area under patrol, one for refusing to move along when ordered to do so by a police officer and the other man for ‘rebelling,’ a charge similar to disturbance of the peace, when a state trooper alleged that he recog- nized the man as being one of those who were rioting Friday. Fred Chmura, 17, of 4 Elm St., Valley Falls, was the person charged with rebelling and John Aszqica of Dexter St. was charged with refusing to move along. “Despite the two arrests every- thing was quiet in the patrolled sec- tion during the day. The most in- teresting development was the sur- prise visit to the strike zone area of five high-ranking National Guard officers. ‘They were shown about by the state troopers. Their stated pur- pose was to familiarize themselves with the situation in the event that the National Guard should be called out. Searchlights Installed. “The National Guard officers showed interest in the machine gun emplacements on the roof, both lo- cated along the front and sweeping Mill St. in all directions, and in the battery of searchlights that were be- ing installed to flood all places around the huge mill with light. “The state troopers had a com- missary department installed at the factory, with rolling soup kitchens standing in the street outside the front door. Inside, beds were be- ing made up. There was every in- dication that the state troopers will be kept here on guard for some time, although claims were heard here to- night that the law says that state troopers can be kept on guard duty only 24 hours in an emergency. If so, the provisions have probably been waived because of the critical state’of affairs hére. Little is known here about this‘supposed law.” Big Bank Fails As Whole System Nears Crash; All Out August First! (CONTINU UD FROM PAGE ONE) German cy italism, was definitely undertaken | yesterday, according to capitalist press reports, including the United Press and Associated Press eables. This action taken by the General Staff of the French army, with military advisers of other im- perialist powers present, was taken at a meéting in Paris following the deeper plunge of the German crisis with the closing of the Darmstaedter und National Bank, and the run on every bank in Germany including the postal-savings. The United Press|: correspondent in Berlin reports the situation as follows: “The rumble of revolutionary dis- content was increasingly audible among the panicky, Recitcra masses. “The. excited depositors, almost without exception, were discussing the chances of a Communist upris- ing. ® Russia Has Hopes. “For example, in front of the Da- nat Bank’s branch at Nollendorf Square the United Press correspond- ent listened for half an hour to re- marks like these: “After the war they told us all German factory chimneys would cease smoking if Communism were established. Well, there’s no Com- munism yet, and no smoke from the chimneys. “And—'These Russians at least have hope, even if impoverished, while we are without money, food or hope. “Crowds gathered in front of the shuttered windows reading the pla- cards placed there telling of the bank's closure.” The New York Evening Graphic, in large headlines, reports: “France Girds for War to Meet Russo-Ger- mans,” and in a dispatch from Paris states: “French military authorities have ordered frontier garrisons and posts to maintain closest vigilance because of the uncertain situation in Germany, where a Communist revo- lution is feared, and to take partic- ular care to avoid any clash of hot- heads of extremists.” This is a definite mobilization for war against the German masses, in the event they move to overthrow capitalism and its misery and starv- ation and join with the Soviet Union. Marshals Petain and Lyautey, head of the military forces of France, the Associated Press says, met with Prime Minister Laval at the Ministry of War to plan mobilization for war to crush the German masses and against the U. 8. S. R. The International News Service quotes the French nationalist news- paper, La Liberte, which says French troops already are being massed on the German border ‘The same ‘news service says bank runs are spreading like wildfire. The German capitalists are appealing to French and American capitalism to rush them funds in order to save the Reichsbank and other German banks which face collapse. Everywhere in the streets the mas- ses gather and discuss the question of Communist revolution, says the In- ternational News Service. A section of its Berlin dispatch tells of the industrialists calling for a fascist co- alition to save German capitalism, saying: “The newspaper Deutsche Allge- meine Zeitung, mouthpiece of the German heavy industries, today de- mands the formation of “A Concen- tration Cabinet,” which would in- clude representatives of Adolf Hit- ler’s Nazis and Dr. Alfred Hugen- berg’s German Nationalists. “The double spectre of bankrupt- cy and Bolshevism hovered over Ger- many as desperate offorts were made by statesmen and bankers of the world to solve the country’s alarm- ing financial crisis. “Traveling across the country over the week-end, this corgespondent frequently heard expressions from the public tending to confirm the threat of radical ascendancy in Germany unless the present crisis is swiftly alleviated.” In Washington Hoover is taking a hand in the situation to save Ger- man capitalism and is bringing strong pressure against the French, in order to come to terms with the German capitalists and raise a solid who frankly calls for war of the United States against the Soviet Union in @ speech at Chicago de- clared: “The situation in Germany ts one of the most threatening the world has faced since the war. If Germany goes bankrupt and the Bruening Cabinet falls the country will be left at the mercy of the Commisnisis and Hitlerites.” Ger- ard’s ear” of the fascist Hitler- ites is, of course, 2 sham. American capitalism, as well as French capitalism are mobilizing to crush the German workers’ struggles against starvation, against wage- cuts, hunger and unemployment. ‘They are preparing to plunge the American workers, who likewise suf- fer from the same evils of capitalist crisis, into war against their broth- ers in the Soviet Union and in Ger- many in the event of revolutionary action of the masses. Against this the American workers must mobilize now. Smash the war danger which is here now! All out August First! For the defense of the Soviet Union! Hands off the German workers! Demand all war (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) tempt at a national conference called by the Hoover-Mellon admin- istration admit, in general, that the reason the U.M.W. is not such a good tool as was first felt it would be, is that the miners hate it with such bitterness. The U.M.W. can not de- liver the goods, and the fight in the Pittsburgh Terminal more than any thing else has demonstrated this. Now when the Pittsburgh Terminal mines are re-struck, within the next few days, a further smashing blow will have been dealt the scab union, and one it will not easily recover from. Secondly, the flood of injunctions was stopped, at least for a time, with the first one. When the Butler Con- solidated Coal Company got its in- junction, all capitalist agencies and particularly the Pittsburgh news- papers agreed that this was a mag- nificent weapon to use against the strike, a decisive weapon. The first injunction was to be but the prelude to a whole series of injunctions. But the picketing at Wildwood, in the face of point-blank volleys of bullets and shot from the Butler Consolidated’s deputies, shows that the injunctions will be fought with such determination that it is better not to use them. The open strike- breaking by the courts and the mur- der of miners that goes ‘with it casts more discredit, exposes more glar- ingly the coal owner control of the government than the Pennsylvania politicians care for. And thirdly, in the organization of the strike itself. This is.shown in all sections of the struggle. The lo- cal strike committees, elected in the first heat of the strike when it was spreading by leaps and bounds, and individuals were not so well known as now, were far from perfect. Now they are being rebuilt out of the very best material, proved and tes- ted in the heat of a seven weeks’ desperate struggle. The section com- mittees, the relief committees, the defense committees, almost over- jJooked in the first heroic weeks, are now rapidly being built up and are functioning better and better. Most important of all, the picket lines are being organized. The first picketing, the first mass marching, was in the nature of a spontaneous surging forward of a mob, sweeping obstacles away with more numbers and enthusiasm, but with consider- able wasting of forces. The present picket lines, drilled by days and weeks of fighting, rapidly being or- ganized in groups of ten to twenty, each group with its leader, compare with the first undisciplined hordes as do drilled regulars with a raw mass levy. The organized lines mey not to be quite to spectacular, but they are vastly more effective when it comes to stopping scabs. Then too the National Miners Union is being organized. More and more local unions, the permanent forms of the struggle, are being char- tered. There are now about 90 local unions of the N.M.U. in the western Pennsylvania field, between twenty and thirty in Ohio, and a consider- able number scattered through West Virginia and other fields.. In the heat of the strike not all of them meet or function a6 they should, but National Miners’ Meet to Open Tomor- row; 40,000 Families Need Relief Now the inspirin inspiring fact that 40,000 miners, rejecting the trickery of the labor fakers, defying every form of terror, building their own union, are leading the first really big struggle against the starvation program of the capi- talists in this period of crisis. ee ee BENTLEYVILLE, Pa. July 12.— Cokeburg Junction mine of the Hahn & Hahn ©o., tried to reopen yester- day (July 10) and instead of the 180 men they predicted would be there, hardly a one got in. There was a fine picket line. Five big women sat on one scab until he yelled for mercy. “8 * HENDERSONVILLE, Pa. July 12.— Henderson Coal Co., evicted several families yesterday, and moved them three or four miles down the road and drop them with their furniture oft on the road side, in the midst of a heavy rain. This is one of the places tents are needed. There are so many eviction in the Cannonsburg section, that the section strike committee has a special sub- committee with a truck which is not used for anything else than to gather up evicted families’ furniture and carry it to places where some one will keep it under cover. Ces. aa COVERDALE. Pa., Jly 12—The United Mine Workers officials have found out that something is happen- ing in Pittsburgh Terminal Coal Co. mine No. 8 here. The miners are coming out again. In this emergency, Pat Fagan, district president of UMW rushed down to be the chief stool for the company. Yesterday he stood at the shaft entrance as the men came out, and approached each one with a demand that he join the UMWA. Whoever refused was pointed out to the superintendent by Fagan, to be immediately fired. But no terror and no UMWA, spy- ing can keep these men working un- der the UMWA slave contract. Here is the pay slip of the man who is the highest paid in this mine; he has what all agree is the very best “sec- tion” in thé mine. -For two weeks work, he was credited for $35.28. Then the company took away $1 for lights, $8 for caps and powder, 75 cents for doctor, ..$1.25 for insurance, 25 cents for smithing, 50 cents for bath house, 75 cents for dues to the U.M.W.A., $2 to pay the UMW checkweighmaen, $1 for electric light, $7.50 for rent of the company house. All these charges added up amount to $23.10. That leaves the best paid man in the mine $12.18 to buy food for himself and family for two weeks. If he does not buy the food in the company store, he will be fired. An average miners’ family of six children could about three days with the prices the way they are in one conpenr. stores. PITTSBURGH, “pa, “July 12.—An order is out to be served on the bonds men, who put up $10,000 on charge of “inciting to riot” against Tom My- erscough, section organizer of the Central Rank and File Strike Commit- tee in Allegheny Valley, to forfeit this bond unless Myerscough is sur- rendered Monday, on the coroner’s court charge of “involuntary man- slaughter.” The International Labor Defense makes the following hot rejoinder against this outrageous action: “The court now proposes merely more and more of them function every week. It is not to be thought that all the above organization is perfect or finished. But the process is well un- der way, and the good effects are clearly visible. The strike is now in the position of an army which has, in furious dis- organized rush captured advanced positions, has had a couple of weeks of slow progress while it organizes and consolidadtes these positions and repulses counter attacks, and is now ob the eve of a second advance. The second advance is already be- ginning, in fact. The last few days have seen a dozen of new mines brought on strike, as well as the re- striking of certain Ohio and Penn- sylvania mines temporarily lost thru inadequate orgainzation. But probably the real start of the second advance will be the United Front National Conferense, to be held in Pittsburgh, July 15 and 16 with delegates not only from the tri- state struck area, but from the an- thracite and Hocking Valley in Ohio, the Southern coal fields of West Va., Tlinois, Kentucky, and perhaps other fields. This conference will herald the spread of organization over a vast territory, making a base for new spreading of the strike, and for future strike struggle. It will not only work out a national program of support for the present strike, but will result in a series of district pro- grams for support of the strike, for collection of relief, for organization and struggle for demands, both gen- eral and local. ‘The United Front National Con- ference will surley elect a national united front committee, which will pay strict attention to extending the movement and co-ordinating activi- ties in the various districts. No more will the heroic Harlan county, Ken- tucky miners fight on isolated from the rest of the workingclass. Now it will be possible to give full effect to funds go to the unemployed in the form of immediate relief and unem- ployment insurance! Demonstrate because the authorities have failed to serve Myerscough with a warrant for an ‘entirely different charge of ‘manslaughter,’ to forfeit bonds which relate only to ‘incitment to riot charge. “The ‘manslaughter’ charge deve- Joped when the coroner’s court, in defiiance of all reason, held Myer- scough to the grand jury because deputy sheriffs shooting at him, at ‘Wildwood, killed a fellow picket in- stead. “The International Labor Defense further states that on Monday mor- ning Myerscough will appear with In- ternational Labor Defense bondsman and that bonds will be placed on the iinet charge: iy PITTSBURGH, Pa, Suy 12.—The unemployed councile picketed the Star Employment Agency on Third Ave., here today, and stopped six men being sent to scab at Harmerville. This agency gets most of the men from the “Helping Hand” a city char- ity. Tt has been sending them, under threat of losing the charity to Ver- sailles, Freeport, Library, Horning, Harmerville = pee FREDRICKTOWN, Pa, July 12.— Fifteen children of strikers at Clyde mine here, are being held to the higher court by the company squire because they used direct action on children of a scab. The scab children followed them on private property and hurled insults at them. Regular warrants were issued as a result of this little fight, with hearings, several times postponed, all in the most se- riously legal manner. The results are not trivial, however, the company courts showing # determination to give the children several years in the reformatory in an effort to break the spirit of their striker parents.

ADDRESS Send me information on Daily Worker Clubs WORKERS RETURN, EVICTED NEGRO Resist Evictions of N. C. Landlords CHARLOTTE, N. C., July 13—A neighborhood branch of the Charlotte Unemployed Council, yesterday, put back the furniture of an unemployed Negro woman, after she had been thrown out of here home with her | furniture, The unemployed council mobilized all the neighbors in the vicinity and after a short meeting took action. The eviction took place on 6th St. in the First Ward, where number of families are threatened with eviction and where the majority of the workers are unemployed. ‘The Negro woman who was thrown out of her home has been out of work | several weeks and only owes for two weeks rent. M. B. Rose, the owner of the shack and who owns many other shacks in which poor Negro and white workers live, has been car- rying on a ruthless policy of throwing out the families of all unemployed. The unemployed workers of Char- lotte are determined to stop these attacks against them by putting back the furniture in every case that hap- pens. This time last year, M. B. Rose was forced to cease his throwing out tactics because of the mobilization |of neighbors under the leadership of the Unemployed Councils, which puts | back all the furniture and families | thrown out.
