It is cpenly admitted by Tammany Hall that the ten per cent wage-cut is being railroaded through at the orders of New York bankers. “The Communist Party points out to the more than 100,000 city workers who will be affected by the proposed wage-cut that the money the city will | obtain by cutting wages of salaried employees, can and should be obtain- ed by increasing the taxes of the very bankers who insist on the wage- cut. The Communist ” Party further points out that Walker's “economy” move is in part designed to cover up the scores of millions in graft stolen every year by Tammany” Halt and its leaders, including the playboy dimmy himself.

When he was 11 years old, the boy left for the North. He worked in many cities ‘until he found a job in a garage at Anoka, Minn. There, he was work- ing together with two white boys. Soon, the two white boys were laid The two white boys, in their desire to take the job away from Mec Duffy, attempted to frame him up on a rape charge. At that time, | McDuffy had too much evidence to prove that he was innocent so that the attempt did not work. Later on, however, another at- tempt was made to frame him this time successfully. All the facts prove that this is a rank frame-up. The charge was rape of an eight year old white girl. However, after a doctor's examination of the girl, it was found that she had not even been touched. This forceq a change in the charge to “attempt at rape.” Betrayed by Lawyer The white masters wanted to make doubly sure that their case would go through, so they picked a lawyer of Anoka, Minn., to present himself be- fore McDuffy as his friend. This lawyer, together with McDuffy’s kass, served as a valuable assistance to the court. They advised Ernest to plead guilty to the charge on the basis that if he pleaded not guilty, h ewould stand a chance of getting lynched. : The International Labor Defense is. beginning a campaign to mobilize the mases of Negro and white workers to force the Farmer-Labor Governor to release McDuffy. While it is tak- ing the necessary legal steps, the workers are also preparing a cam- paign of mass pressure. Poland Signs ‘ Non - Aggression ° Pact With U.S.S.R.
