State Continues Move . for Legal Lynching BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Jan.) 23.—A letter written by Ruby | Bates, upon whose testimony of “rape” the Scottsboro boys | were railroaded to lynch ver-| diets, and which categorically | denies all the charges she made in the lynch-court, was pro- duced in court here today, at the hearing on a writ of habeas corpus for the release of Roy Wright, young- est of the boys. ‘The hearing, in a courtroom crowded with Negroes, while hun- dreds more stood in the aprridors and street, was adjourned this after- noon when the court refused the de- Mand of Gen. George W. Chamlee, atid Irving Schwab, International Defense attorneys, to order the State Solicitor General Thomas %.-Knight to come to court to testi- ty. Knight said he was “too busy”. The hearing will be resumed Tues- 7, Jan. 31. Mrs. Wright In Court. Mrs. Ada Wright, mother of Roy Wright, and his sister, Beatrice Mad- dox, were in court, to testify as to his age. Ruby Bates was also pres- ent, as was Chief of Police Black- tore of Huntsville, whom the I. L. D> attorneys forced to produce Ruby Bates’ letter. The letter, examined by the I. L. ®. attorneys, contains startling dis- elesures. The police forced her to tte with threats of keeping her in jail, and lodging charges against her. “None of the Scottsboro boys ever touched her, the letter states cate- gorically. In this letter, writion to Earl Streetman, Ruby Bates tells of ther remorse for her testimony which aésisted in obtaining death verdicts for the boys. She repeats again and that the whole case was a frame up, and that this letter is “the God's truth”. Hold On to Letter. ‘The letter was impounded by the court and filed in the clerk’s office, upon motion of the I. L. D. attor- neys, who were denied the right, however; to obtain photostatic copies of-it. The attorneys however, an- nounced that they would fight to ob- tain photostatic copies before the re-opening of the hearing, and at the hearing would make a fight to oe possession of the letter it- Miliis letter knocked the last legal os from under the state’s frame of the nine innocent Negro boys. attitude of the prosecution, however, and the maneuver of Knight in obtaining an adjourn- meat of the hearing, indicates that the southern boss lynchers will eomjinue their effort to legally tynds the boys. Support Fight. Workers and workers’ organiza- tions are urged to support the fight for the lives and freedom of the Scottsboro boys, by sending wires and tions, ‘demanding the immedi- ate unconditional release of Roy Wright and all the Scottsboro boys, to Judge J.

One of the questions dis- cussed at the meeting was sup- port for the coming South Amer- ican anti-war Congress in this city Walkouts in Detroit, Grand Rapids DETROIT, Mi Jan. 23.—As a result of the Auto Workers’ Con- ference and the successful strikes in the Briggs Vernor Highway plant and the Motor Products Company, all the production workers, as well as the skilled workers, in the Briggs Highland Park plant, walked out on strike 100 per cent today. Two thousand workers are participating in this strike, GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., Jan. 23. On the heels of the successful strikes at the Briggs Body plant and the Mo- tor Products Co. in Detroit, a strike has broken out in the Hayes Body plant here. Sat. morning practically every worker walked out in protest against a wage-cut and the introduc- tion of a new group system, The walkout came in response to a leaf- let issued by the Auto Workers Union, which played a leading role in the other two strikes, Intense resentment spread through the plant when the men learned dur- ing the early part of the week that the basic- rate of 55 cents am hour was to be reduced to 35 cents. The Auto Workers Union helped rally the the workers and showed them that the only way to fight the cut was through strike action. The strikers elected a committee, with representa- | tives from every department, to see the management and demand the withdrawal of the cut. a ‘The successful Auto Workers’ Con- ference in Detroit yesterday, at which 565 delegates were present, decided to give all possible aid to the Hayes Body strike. Star Slipper Co. on Strike Against Reduction in Wages NEW YORK.—As the result of the attempts of the Star Slipper Co., 596 Broadway, to reduce prices paid for work, the crew has struck. Leader- ship is by the Slipper Department of the Shoe and Leather Workers In- dustrial Union. The strike begins an organizational drive by the union. All slipper workers are asked to come and help picket here, and also at the Franklin Shoe Co., 17-11 Hope {¢., Brooklyn. 10,000 TEACHERS UNPAID COLUMBUS, Ohio, Jan. 23—Ten thousand teachers are receiving no pay in Ohio, according to the State Education Association, which declares 58 per cent of all school districts are operating with a deficit. Stating fur- ther that the credit of the teacher is being “strangled,” the Association declares: “It can mean but one tense, New York City. thing—the closing of the schools,” CITY EVENTS BANK OF U.

With- out our daily newspaper, the grow- ing solidarity of our movement would be shattered under the at- tacks of our enemies.

These struggles not only increase the necessity of our Daily Worker, but also create great new opportunities to extend its circulation and build up its support among the masses. Temporary Difficulties. But the deepening of the crisis at the same time creates some spe- cial temporary difficulties for the Daily Worker. The Daily Worker has its own financial crisis. Where a few years ago it was easily pos- sible to maintain our newspaper with the support of a relatively small but enthusiastic and loyal band of workers, now under the crisis conditions this basis is en- tirely too narrow. Where before, our supporters could unhesitating- ly give $10, $20 and $100 each in the Daily Worker financial cam- paigns, now each one can give only a small part of that amount. The answer to this difficulty is clear. Where one worker formally donated to the “Daily”, we must get ten workers to perform the same task. New Opportunities. Lenin taught us as a first prin- ciple of bolshevism that every dif- ficulty is at the same time a new opportunity for revolutionary ad- vance. So it is in the case of this problem also. The sharpening of our financial difficulties has one very splendid result for us; it forces us to turn very energe- tically to the broader masses of workers. The Daily Worker has been able to live and grow only by increasing the number of its supporters and readers. This is ten times more true today. In the present campaign to raise money to meet the $35,000 deficit of the Daily Worker, the only solu- tion of the difficulty is to draw ten times as many supporters into the campaign as ever before. This can be done. This must be done. And because the Daily Worker is as necessary to us as the air we breathe, we know that this will be done. .

But that such support will be forthcoming, has been unmistakably indicated by the response to the con- | ference Sunday. Practically all dele- gates pledged to rally their organi- zations in support of the Albany Con- ference and vouchsafed donations from their respective bodies. The task which the elected Provi- sional Committee set for itself is to rally additional hundreds of organi- zations to take part and render sim- ilar support.

No mention of the fact that Ne- | gro patients are jim-crowed from all over the city to Harlem Hospital. That aside from the dangerous over- crowding there is no room for emer- gency cases.
