” | * iS Lynchers Planning Hasty Disposal of Scottsboro Case Ala: Paper Throws Light On Week-End ‘Action in Court SCOTTSBORO, Ala. Jung 2.— The latest issue of the Jackson County Sentinel, organ of the Scottsboro lynchers, throws an in- teresting and sinister light on the haste displayed by the United States Supreme Court in handling thhe appeal of the International Labor Defense attorneys for a re- view of the Scottsboro lynch ver- dicts, The usual practice of the court in all appeal cases brought during the last few days before its summer re- 3 is to withhold until October its jon as to whether it would w the verdicts. Had the cour followed this practice in the Scotts boro case, the I. L. D, attorneys have secured an order from one of the justices to stay the execution of the boys, which was set for June 24 But this would haye meant that the Court could not have speeded up the cate for the oral hearings of argu- ments on the apresl, Th its haste tu dis: of the Seotteboro case, the court made its a cccision re week-end affair. While ma: sure forced it to de- cids in favor of reviewing the lynch my verdicts, it jinmediately set October 10 tor the oral ument on the appeal, This clearly shows that the lyneh courts are trying to rush through the lynch verdicis as quick- ly as possible. Because of the world- Wide mass fighi and its exposure of the lynch character of the courts, the Scottsboro case has proved tremen- deusly embar 3 to the white ruling class and its white and Negro r mist lackeys. The sinister purpose behind the hesty action of the court is clearly revealed in the following statement, in the Jackson County Sentinel: “Tt had bsen the intention of coun- sel for the Negroes to file petitions in June, and then seek a stay order from one of the justices of the Su- Freme Court. The-preceedings Mon- €ay will bring a decision from the entire court.” (Emphasis ours.— Daily Workers.) The organ of the Scottsboro lymch- ess knew several days beforéhand that a decision would be given last Monday—knew, in othér words, that the Supreme Court justices would co- operate in making as quick a disposal a5 possible of the Scottsboro case. ‘This is further convincing proof that the working-class must continue its vigilance, must not permit illusions in the “rainess” and “justice” of the lyneh courts t odisarm it. These illusions will be peddled now more than ever by the N, A. A. C. P. mis- leaders and other assistant hangmen of the lynchers.

Ford will speak here at 8 pm., at the Knights of Pythias Hall,’at Sen- ate and Walnut Sts This hall is located in the section of the city where many Negro workers live, and the whole section is interested and roused.

Committees of Negro and white workers are bringing pressure on this paper to force it to give some space to the Communist demands for un- employment insurance and to equal- ity for Negro workers and self-deter- mination (the right to run their owri government and to secede from the - ¢# United States if they want to) for theNegro masses in what is called “The Black Belt” in the.

Originally advertised for the North High School Auditorium, which by Jaw the Board of Education must rent for use of political meetings, so many workers bought tickets to hear Foster that the Citizens Ailiance was aroused. This bosses’ association call- ed on the board to cancel the per- mit for the high school auditorium, and a meeting was held at which Wm, Schneiderman and a committee appeared for the Communist Party. At that meeting the Board of Educa- tion voted 4 to 3 to permit the meet- ing to go ahead. oye Later, a special meeting was called, and on the motion of a Farmey-La- bor Party member of the board, the permit was revoked. The crowd will be so large that the next three larg- est hallj in the city are being se= cured, and Foster will from one to the other, Demonstrations against the action of the school board are being held every night, : Workers’ Delegates Talk on Platform of Struggle for Bread VETS DENOUNCE GOVT TERROR; MARCH SWELLS Mass Pressure Forces Congressman to Act On Demand (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) recret orders large supplies of teat g4c bombs, tear sas shells and hand grenades to the Waskington Barracks. the Munitions Building and Fort Myer.

Y. C. | The Communist Party program was taken up. thoroughly discussed, and adopted by the war veterans of the Workers Ex-Servicemen’s League. There is one ammendment proposed, as follows: “Resolved, that this convention add to the Communist platform, support- ing the militant struggle by the world war veterans in the fight for their back wages, mis-named the “bonus.” At the present there are 4 1-2 million war veterans, the ma- jority of them workers. The struggle of the war veterans is bound up with the struggle of the entire working class. We therefore suggest the_resolution as presented to wou and we pledge to you that we will carry on the struggle not only in the ranks of the veterans, but in the ranks of the entire working class for the fight against imperialist war and for the defense of the Soviet Un- ion, . Anthracite Miner, Pennsylvania Before we left the Anthracite, we had a conference and the miners at- tending this conference elected me as representative to the National Nom- inating Convention. The whole sen- timent there was that the points pointed out in the program abso- lutely appealed to the miners, espe- cially the unemployment insurance bill, Throughout the whole anthra- cite region we have a total number of 50,000 miners practically permanently unemployed. We have something like 100,000 minérs that are working on a part time basis averaging 10, il, 12 and sometimes 14 and 18 dole X i Below ate parts of speeches made by delegates to the National Nomi- discussed the platform of class struggle proposed by the Communist Party to the Convention.

Ths mine owners are afraid that if he goes down and gets killed, they will have to pay compensation Max Bedacht. The platform now before this con- vention for adoption is a program of work of our Party between now and the eléction campaign. I want to emphasize this in answer to some tendencies to add to that platform the complete prograih of\ the Com- munist Party—in working out this Platform of the workers and to for- mulate slogans for thosé, problems of the workers which this presen ¢co- nomi¢e and political condition raises for them. In doing this we came to the conclusion that the issue of social insurance is the paramount iggue of this campaign. Sometimes we find some doubts among our comrades as to whether the raising of such demands, such immediate demands will really drive home to the workers the recessity of our revolutionary solution of the crisis. If we want ‘o carry through our election campaign with the greatest measure of success we must understand that the ‘revolutonary solution of the crisis is not separate and apart from the struggle for the solution of the immediate probléms of the workers and that the strug- gle for the solution of these problems is part of the revolutionary way out of the crisis. We must learn and that the struggle for social insurance hits the capitalist system, especially the ruling class in the United States, directly between the eyes. The demand for social in- surance fir’ of all the demand for unemployment insurance shows up to t* -“=ssses of workers the eco- nomic condition créated by the rul- ing capitalism, Seer ‘dly it gives the workers a base for united action ir- respective of their political relations or their political beliefs. We must understand that comrades otherwise we will not be able to utilize the} struggle for socia] insurance for our campaign. That through the stfug- gle for social insurance is the base for mass united front of the Ameri- can workers—is the. base from which we Can approach even the most back- ward workers in the’ U. S.
