HOOVER URGES FIERCER ATTACKS | ON THE WORKERS Backs the | Scottsboro Lynchers in Speech WASHINGTON, .D. C., Oct. 13.— A call for fiercer attacks on the ights of the workers and for re- vision of the laws so as to make mpossible appeals to the United States Supreme Court such as are now being made in the Scottsboro case was issued by President Hoover in a speech last night at the openingof -the ennual conven- fien of the American Bar Association in Constit ution here. troduced - by Chief Justice C, E. HUGHES Charles E. Hughes, reactionary head of the U. S. Supreme Court and president of the Bar Asso- on. Declaring that “today, perhaps as x before, our very form of gov- ment is on trial in the eyes of millions of our citizens,” heurged that the laws be so revised as to assure iiter and more certain conviction orkers arrested for militant ac- ies, and moved to deprive such | workers of legal defense by calling oh the members of the Bar Associa- tion to “purge your profession of men unworthy of its trust.” Together with “simplification” of the law, Hoover, reversing the stand of the republican party, came out staunchly for states’ rights in judicial matters thus rushing to the aid of the Alabama lynch courts which are trying to burn the Scotts- | boro boys in the electric chair. Hint to Supreme Court Similar recommendations were made by Hoover last year in connec- tion with the Wickersham Commis- sion report. This time, however, he has timed them with the very mo- ment when the United States Court is passing on the Scottsboro case. ‘Thereby Hoover gave a broad hint to the Supreme Court not to inter- fere with the “states’ rights” of the Alabama lynchers and to approve the contemplated murder of the Negro boys. Coming in the midst of the election campaign, Hoover's advoc- acy of states’ rights is also an ef- fort to swing the southern states behind the republica:. party by show- inig that the republicans are just as much in fayor of jim-crow laws and legal lynching as the democrats and will oppose all efforts to reverse them. Hoover paid glowing tributes to the entire judical system “as a very cita- del of the rights of the poor against the oppression of rulers” the very judical system which murdered Sacco and Vanzetti, which has kept Tom Mooney rotting in jail for 16 years, which is trying to _elegtrocute the Scottsboro boys. traditional | | Workers; Of Workers in Belfast Tom Mann, British Communist Going to Help: U.S. Workers: Demand the Withdrawal of All Troops!

These shipyards have been idle for two years, Forty workers were remanded to custody for a week until charges are fromed of riot, attempted murder and arson. Powerful solidarity demonstrations took place in the Catholic South. The symptom of the growing unity of the workers, Catholic and Protes- tant, manifested itself in a work- house, where the workers refused to accept religious segregation.

BELFAST, Oct. 13—The militancy of the workers, who for two days have been heroically defending them- selves against the murderous attacks |of Irish policemen and British sol- diers, is not curbed. The workers’ determination to win immediate re- lief from their intolerable misery is |not shaken by the repeated attacks |of the 3,000 policemen concentrated here and the numerous arrests being made. A regiment of Royal Fusiliers or British sharpshooters arrived yester- day and went into “patrol duty” armed with machine guns, A second battalion of the King’s Riflers is expected to arrive tomotrow from | Tidworth. | A veritable man-hunt was imme- diately started after the arrival of reinforcements.

O’Brien is Tammany can- didate for mayor. Ryan is peculiarly suitable as an emmissary in this matter, as he has just put over on the longshoremen, without asking their consent, a wage cut of ten cents an hour. The print- ing trades leaders, both of the press- men, who have made a no-strike agreement for their members, and the typographical chiefs, who have just engineered..an “arbitration” sell-out for their members, are in good com- pany with Ryan, O'Brien, whose first main task will be to save money for the bankers who hold the city in debt by cutting wages and firing city employes wherever possible, said He was blag to get the endorsement of these labor leaders, HOUSING FOR DELEGATES The convention arrangements committee calls all needle trades workers and sympathizers to ac- comedate delegates coming from the out-of-town centers.

The dinner was held under the auspices of the Independent Commit- tee for Foster and Ford and was par- ticipated in by the League of Pro- fessional Groups for Foster and Ford, which was recently organized by the sixty distinguished writers and artists Who issued the now-famous state- ment supporting the Communist Party in. the...election ..campaign. Charles Rumford Walker, the writer, was chairman at Webster Hall, and Professor Sidney Hook of New York University presided at Manhattan Lyceum, Radicalization of Intellectuals Malcolm Cowley, literary editor of the New Republic, Matthew Joseph- son, John Herrmann, Michael Gold and Scott ‘Nearing were among the speakers, All the speakers dwelt on the fact that the leftward movement of the professional workers revealed that the overthrow of capitalism was a cultural problem as well as a social necessity. “It wasn't the. depression that got me,” said Malcolm Cowley. “It was the boom. I saw all m friends writing the tripe demanded by the present order, stultified and corrupted and unable to make real use of their talents. After that, I had to discover the reason for this state of affairs, which comes from the nature of a ruling class which lives by exploiting everyone . else. Then I went through the South and saw how cleverly the rulers try to divide white and black workers by giving the whites a trifle more than the black share-croppers. That taught me the necessity of unity of white and black workers and professional workers under the leadership of the Communist Party.” Two Momentous Decisions Two momentous decisions have been made by intellectuals, said Jo- seph. “First they had to resolve they had. no stake in the present order. The second decision was easier: To recognize that the fight against capi- talism must be. mainly'fought by the working class itself uhder the leader- ship of the Communist Party.” John Herrmann had just returned from the farm strike area in Iowa, “The only thing which thrilled me as’ much as embattled farthers’ was the Kharkov Conference o7 the Inter- national Union of Revolutionary Writers, two years ago in the Soviet Union, when I saw what it meant to live in the free air of a workers’ These farmers are ‘ghting olutionary — tactic ma and they call for the ss Just listen to struggle, port of the workers.
